Historical mortgage rates provide context for current rates. Investors should focus on the overall deal rather than just the rate.

Click Here for the Show Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary In this episode of Ask Marco, Marco Santarelli discusses the recent legal actions against the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and their potential impact on the real estate market. He addresses a listener's question about how these changes might affect landlords and real estate investors, particularly in relation to commission structures and transaction costs. Marco emphasizes that while there may be some changes in how commissions are handled, the overall impact on real estate investing may not be as significant as some might hope. He concludes by encouraging listeners to stay informed and engaged in the evolving real estate landscape. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamp 00:00  Introduction to the Episode 01:24  Understanding the NAR Lawsuit 03:40  Impact of Commission Changes on Real Estate 10:32  Future of Real Estate Transactions 12:28  Conclusion and Final Thoughts ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Takeaways Changes in commission structures may lead to lower transaction costs.

There may be a shift in buyer-seller dynamics due to commission changes. Real estate investors may not see dramatic impacts in the short term. The housing market may become more competitive and flexible. The legal settlement was seen as long overdue by many in the industry. The demand for rental properties remains high despite potential changes. Overall, minor changes are expected in the real estate industry. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Easy, stress-free, and personalized business formation for clever people with big ideas.  Get your FREE LLC up and running fast and hassle-free ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you missed our last episode, be sure to listen to TBT: 10 Good Reasons to Invest in New Construction Properties Download your FREE copy of:  The Ultimate Guide to Passive Real Estate Investing.

Click Here for the Show Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary In this episode of Passive Real Estate Investing, Marco Santarelli discusses the benefits and mechanics of DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans with mortgage expert Aaron Chapman. They explore how these loans differ from conventional financing, the ease of qualification, and the potential for real estate investors to expand their portfolios without the typical income verification requirements. The conversation also touches on market trends, interest rates, and the importance of understanding the risks associated with DSCR loans. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamp 00:00  Introduction to DSCR Loans 02:51  Understanding DSCR Loans 06:11  Benefits of DSCR Loans 09:05  Qualifying for DSCR Loans 11:53  Comparing DSCR and Conventional Loans 15:11  Documentation Requirements 17:59  Risks and Considerations 21:10  Market Trends and Interest Rates 23:59  Conclusion and Next Steps ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Takeaways DSCR loans are a powerful tool for real estate investors. Qualification is primarily based on the property's income, not the borrower's personal income. Investors can theoretically obtain an unlimited number of DSCR loans. Documentation requirements are significantly lighter compared to conventional loans. DSCR loans can be issued to LLCs, providing additional asset protection. Interest rates for DSCR loans are often comparable to conventional loans. Investors can leverage DSCR loans for short-term rental properties like Airbnb. Understanding the local rental market is crucial for DSCR loan qualification. There may be prepayment penalties associated with DSCR loans. Market conditions and interest rates are influenced by broader economic factors. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Easy, stress-free, and personalized business formation for clever people with big ideas.  Get your FREE LLC up and running fast and hassle-free ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you missed our last episode, be sure to listen to TBT: 10 Good Reasons to Invest in New Construction Properties Download your FREE copy of:  The Ultimate Guide to Passive Real Estate Investing.

Click Here for the Show Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary In this episode of the Passive Real Estate Investing show, Marco Santarelli addresses listener questions regarding the establishment of LLCs for asset protection, the importance of insurance policies, managing finances through separate bank accounts for LLCs, and finding a knowledgeable tax strategist for real estate investments. The conversation emphasizes the significance of proper financial management and legal structures in building wealth through real estate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timestamp 02:24 Setting Up an LLC for Asset Protection 06:39 Understanding Insurance: The Umbrella Policy 09:57 Managing Finances: LLC Bank Accounts 10:27 Finding a Tax Strategist for Real Estate Investors ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Takeaways It's important to have a separate LLC for each property for asset protection. Umbrella policies can provide additional liability coverage but are rarely used. Always keep personal and LLC finances separate to maintain legal protections. Finding a tax strategist who understands real estate is crucial for effective tax planning. Insurance policies should be reviewed regularly to ensure adequate coverage. Using online services can simplify the process of setting up an LLC. Interview potential tax strategists to gauge their expertise in real estate. Consider local real estate investment groups for referrals to tax professionals. Maintaining good records and separate accounts is essential for LLCs.

Throwback Thursday Episode (The episode originally took place in the year 2022) So my guest today, a guy named John has been in real estate for a very, very, very long time. He's one of the OGs and he's been through multiple recessions multiple tax law changes. He has seen interest rates as high as 19 plus percent. And of course the more recent historically lows of 3% or so, but he has been around for a very long time and he has purchased many properties. He's also helped and coached dozens and dozens and dozens of people. In fact, if I'm not mistaken that number is actually well into the hundreds. He lives in Florida, and he has been using all kinds of strategies in terms of buying hold. He focuses single family homes, although he has invested in apartment buildings and pretty much everything else. But what is his favorite? It's the basic building block of residential real estate, the single family home and what he likes to talk about and what he has proven and help many people do is build wealth one house at a time. And that is the title of his book. So I hope you enjoy today's interview. And with that, let us go straight to the interview and let's see what John has to tell us.

Hello my friends and welcome to another episode of Passive Real Estate Investing. I'm your host Marco Santarelli and I'm glad you're joining me today. If you are new to the show or have not subscribed remember to do so. It only takes you a few seconds to subscribe to the show and you'll never miss another episode. Well I have an interesting guest today and kind of an interesting topic for at least for a lot of people but it's often misunderstood and it's a topic about not just personal freedom and financial freedom but what freedoms are at risk. Our freedoms perhaps have been, I hate to the word stolen because it's such a strong word and we live in such a quote unquote free country. But the reality is, that a little at a time, some freedoms are being eroded, slowly evaporated, and many of it is almost unrecognizable. And when you start to learn more about that, you'll start to see that things are constantly changing. And it's not that we are necessarily getting more and more freedoms, but they are being controlled or constrained. And my guest today is one of those people that talk about this in a very clear way and in an interesting way is really what it is. So today, know, my guest, Tony, had a conversation with me, a great interview about how we are losing some of our personal and financial freedoms. And in his book, he talks about this chapter by chapter, just a little bit about how that is happening and also how it's affecting us. But the good news is, is you can do things. You can do things to stop that erosion or that decay and take control of the things that you can control. So the bottom line is it's never too late or even too early to plan and take control of what you can control. In other words, your personal freedoms and your financial freedoms. So today we're gonna chat about things like, the education system and education in general, the cultural and societal issues revolving around, you know, personal financial freedoms, the politics of it, not political, but the politics that impact you, the economics and the monetary system. So it's really a show about personal finance and the freedoms that are there for us to build our future, both financial and personal, I think you'll find it an interesting conversation. It was, I wouldn't say a long interview, it was about an hour, but it's one of those topics that could go on for hours and hours and hours. So anyway, it's about 40, 45, maybe 50 minutes of great content. I hope you enjoy it and would love to know your thoughts. And as always, if you have any comments or questions, you can email those to me at passiverealestateinvesting.com. There's always a link there to either ask questions or submit comments, and I appreciate you doing that. All right, well, enjoy today's show.

Throwback Thursday Episode (The episode originally took place in the year 2021) Hello my friends. Welcome back to Passive Real Estate Investing where we dive into the world of real estate investing among other related topics. To help you with your real estate investing journey, today we're doing something a little different. We're going to take a trip down memory lane and showcase an important episode from the past on what we call our throwback Thursday episode. Now, whether you've been with us since the beginning, which goes back to 2015, or you're tuning in for the first time, this episode is a must listen, we are revisiting one of our more popular episodes from the past, and believe me, what we discussed back then, whether it's six months ago or six years ago, is just as relevant today. So sit back, relax, and let's rewind the clock for this great episode. Enjoy. Well, I have an exciting show for you today. Why? Because I get a lot of people asking me and my team. Should I self-manage do you have a property manager that I should use or should I just manage it from afar? Well, the reality is, is that a very large percentage of investors out there in real estate actually self-manage. And so it's not an uncommon thing, even though for years, we've been talking about completely turnkey investment properties, which means that they are professionally managed. That is a great option for many people. However, for many other people, they are better off self managing. They will make more money and there's other benefits. And that's what we're going to talk about today. So I don't want to steal any thunder from my guests who happens to be Dana Dunford.

Welcome to another episode of Passive Real Estate Investing. Today, I have a returning guest. This is his third time on the show, Richard Duncan. He's an amazing guy, famous economist, and he writes some incredible books. Every once in a while, I like to do an episode on economic trends and what is going on in the global economy and how that impacts you as an investor, even though you are an individual here living in the United States or wherever you may be. But everything that happens on the world stage has an impact on you. Whether it be interest rates, whether it be the labor market, whether it is, you know, quantitative tightening or easing the impact of protectionism on interest rates, even the stimulus that has come out of many events in the past, including more recently covid and what happened, you know, since March, 2020. But even the events prior to that, as far back as the housing crisis of 2006, 2007, which led to the great recession of 2008. I mean, all these have an impact both immediately and the trickle effect from that as the years go by in terms of inflation, housing prices, commodities, and you know, the cost of goods, whatever it may be. So I think this is a very interesting topic and you know, it's not something you want to necessarily listen to all the time or every day or every week, but every once in a while it's good to have a lay of the land and understand what's happening big picture wise, because that ultimately trickles down. And when you see the big picture and the trends that are going on on the world stage, you can better understand what you're doing and what you're investing in or make better decisions in terms of what investments you should be focused on getting into or getting out of. And so I want to share this interview I did with Richard today, and I think you'll enjoy it.
