We're going to show you how to make any rental property cash flow as soon as you buy it. Want to know how to analyze a rental property like a pro? This is how. Expert investors don't just crunch the numbers once and submit an offer or reject it—that's an easy way to miss out on the best real estate deals. Instead, we're showing you how we tweak specific numbers in your offer to make the deal as profitable as possible, while giving the seller many ways to say “yes.” Today, our friend and fellow investor, Ashley Kehr from the Real Estate Rookie podcast, brought us a real deal she's debating on buying. Here are the quick numbers: it's a triplex (three units) being sold by a tired landlord. The price seems reasonable, but the expenses may be too high. We use the BiggerPockets Rental Property Calculator to run the numbers and see if it cash flows, then tweak the offer in multiple different ways to boost the returns substantially. Now, Ashley is taking these offers to the seller. Yes, offers—plural—to see which one they'll choose. Either way, Ashley is in a position to make more money from this rental than before, and all she had to do was get a little creative. Today, we're showing you, too, how to make any real estate deal cash flow. In This Episode We Cover How to analyze a rental property from start to finish (and calculate an offer) Seller financing vs. bank loans: how to give the seller the choice so you both benefit Estimating rents and how to ensure that your units will bring in enough revenue The numbers you can “manipulate” to make your rental cash flow more The three final offers Ashley will be giving this seller, and why you should not submit just one And So Much More!

Feeling burnt out? You're not the only investor hitting that wall. Long hours, back-to-back deals, tenants, contractors, financing, and the never-ending pressure to grow. You got into real estate for time freedom and financial independence, but somewhere along the way, it started to feel like just another grind. Here's the truth most investors won't say out loud: Burnout isn't a rite of passage, it's a red flag. And ignoring it can cost you more than just momentum; it can eat away at your health, relationships, and your reason for investing in the first place. But what if there's another way to build wealth? A shift from burnout to balance. It's not about more doors, bigger portfolios, or chasing status. It's about designing a real estate business that gives you the life you actually want. In this episode, I'm joined by Ashley Kehr, a rental property investor and co-host of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Rookie Podcast. She shares her journey of stepping off the hamster wheel and into a simpler, more powerful version of success. One built around freedom, clarity, and sustainability. Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Opportunities in real estate investing Real estate investing can offer more than financial security; it can create freedom, flexibility, and a lifestyle on your terms. What other opportunities can real estate investing open up? -Shiny object syndrome New entrepreneurs and investors often fall into the trap of chasing trendy opportunities instead of staying focused on proven strategies. How do we focus on moving the needle instead of the next big thing? -Build a firm foundation Start by leveraging your strengths and skills, then pursue your passions once you've established a solid foundation. How can focusing on current strengths pave the way for achieving long-term goals? Guest Bio Ashley Kehr is the co-host of the Real Estate Rookie Podcast. Just a few years removed from being a beginner herself, Ashley is now helping newbies figure out actionable steps to get their first deal. She has a dual degree in finance and public accounting and recently became a licensed insurance agent. Ashley purchased her first rental property in 2014 and, since then, has grown her buy-and-hold portfolio to over 30 units. She has experience in residential and commercial properties. She attributes much of her success to the use of partners on several real estate deals and creative financing. Ashley developed a passion for real estate after quitting her staff accountant job to work as a property manager. Within several years, she had created two property management companies, which she ran for over five years. Her specialty was creating systems to work efficiently and remotely within companies. Currently, Ashley outsources property management and spends her time educating new investors and finding deals to BRRRR.

Can't (or don't want to) get a bank loan? We have another option for funding your real estate investments: private money lending! If your DTI (debt-to-income) is too high, you've maxed out how many mortgages you can get, or you need quick cash to finance a renovation, house flip, or BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), private money loans can float you. Today, we're sharing how to find a private money lender, what interest rates they charge, who these loans are best suited for, and what documents to bring to get approved. Dave is out on a search to find the perfect pickle for his sandwich, so we brought in a seasoned investor and trusted Real Estate Rookie host, Ashley Kehr. Today, she's invited her private money lender, James Dainard, to the show to explain how private money works, how much money you'll need to put down, rates and terms you can expect, and red flags a lender looks for. But this isn't just for borrowers. If you've got a serious sum of cash and want to lend to investors and pocket the interest payment, James will show you how. Plus, Ashley shares her exact private money lending structure that she worked out with James on a recent deal he lent to her. No bank loan? No problem—here's how private money works! In This Episode We Cover Private money explained, who should use it, and which investment properties it works best for Interest rates and mortgage points you'll pay with private money loans Ashley's actual recent private money loan broken down with her lender (James!) What lenders look for in a borrower and the exact documents you should bring to a lender Private money vs. real estate partnerships: which works best for which investors? And So Much More!

Ashley talks about a time when trying to grow too fast in real estate led to sleepless nights, financial stress, and missing out on the moments that really matter — like time with her kids. In this honest conversation with Steve, she shares how getting caught up in pressure, comparison, and the “go bigger” mindset made her lose sight of her goals. It's a reminder that success isn't always about more deals — sometimes it's about staying true to your why, protecting your peace, and being present for what matters most.
Want to retire early? What about early retirement AND making millions of dollars tax-free? Only one real estate investing strategy gives you the ability to do both, but 99% of investors won't try it. Why? We don't know because today's two guests, as well as Dave, are all using this investing strategy in 2025 to make a killing on their real estate deals. It's not house hacking, it's not medium-term rentals, and it's not private lending—it's live-in flipping. Never heard of live-in flipping? There's a good reason—nobody is doing it, even though it boasts the biggest benefits of almost any real estate strategy out there. This method enabled Mindy Jensen to accumulate millions of dollars in net worth by her early 50s, much of which was tax-free. The same strategy is being used by Ashley Kehr and Dave to make hundreds of thousands of dollars in profit simply by buying a house, fixing it up while living in it, and reselling it. How does this get you to early retirement? Simple: you make hundreds of thousands tax-free, more than what your job might pay you over several years, dramatically boosting your bank account and allowing your investments to multiply way faster. Anyone can do it—whether you're single, have a partner, or kids—and the benefits are unbeatable. Wanna know how to start? Mindy, the expert on live-in flips, is sharing her secrets in today's episode. In This Episode We Cover Live-in flipping 101, the best real estate strategy for tax-free millions What type of house makes the best live-in flip (with the highest profits) What level of renovation to put into the house (DON'T pick your favorite upgrades) Tips to keep your family comfortable while live-in flipping, especially if you have kids Financing a live-in flip and one easy way to get a lower interest rate And So Much More!

There are still real estate deals even in 2025. To prove it, we're taking three real (on-market!) deals and analyzing them three ways: as a long, medium, and short-term rental to see which will have the highest cash flow. All of these properties are around or under the median home price in the US and have at least one strategy that makes them profitable, even in 2025 with today's high interest rates. To help run the deal analysis, Ashley Kehr from the Real Estate Rookie podcast and Garrett Brown from BiggerStays join us to crunch the numbers. You're probably thinking, “Short-term rentals always make more than long-term rentals!” but that isn't exactly the case. With the added expense of short-term rental management, some deals may work MUCH better as a long or medium-term rental. We've even got some bonus strategies to share to boost your rental property profits, like renting-by-the-room to get even more revenue and subdividing your lot so you can sell it and pay off your rental faster (more cash flow!). These deals still work in 2025, and today, we're sharing exactly where we found them. In This Episode We Cover How to analyze a rental property as a short, medium, and long-term rental The one overlooked cost you should ALWAYS account for on a short-term rental A sneaky tactic to get extra cash if you're on a BIG lot Using the “coliving” (rent-by-the-room) strategy to get even more rent every month Why short-term rental regulations are a good thing for investors And So Much More!

Finally, we're breaking down the real estate markets we believe are the best for beginners and the ones with the most bang for your buck. Will Trump's housing policies change the market?

Can you invest in real estate with just $75,000? And not only invest but can you find cash-flowing rentals in solid markets with long-term profit potential without spending six figures? Yes, to both. Today, we're proving it's more than possible because we're finding on-market rental properties for sale that can be bought, renovated, and rented with a $75,000 (or less) investment. These are LIVE deals, meaning you could make an offer on them right after this podcast airs (seriously!). To help us out, Dave asked fellow investors Ashley Kehr and Henry Washington to bring a deal to the show that: 1. Has an all-in cost of $75,000 or less 2. Is on-market (on the MLS) 3. Isn't a house hack (you don't have to live in the property). Dave found his own deal and brought it along, too. So today, we're sharing three actual deals in three solid real estate markets, all that you can invest in with $75,000 or less. We found rental properties that not only cash flow hundreds of dollars a month but come close to (or beat) the 1% rule, AND one is already renovated, meaning you just need to find renters, and you're already making money. Don't let the naysayers fool you—this is PROOF you can find good rental properties even in 2024. In This Episode We Cover: How to invest $75,000 in real estate if you want cash-flowing rental properties Three distinct real estate markets that all offer below-average rental property prices How much to keep in cash reserves for your first investment property “Value-add” potential you can spot that'll help you boost equity in your property The one cost that you really need to check before you buy in a new market Key indicators that point to a real estate market growing (or slowing) And So Much More!

“Lake Effect” cash flow is starting to make landlords rich in this under-the-radar region of the United States. For the past few decades, mainstream real estate investing platforms have almost forgotten this region, and we've even overlooked it a few times. Here, landlords can buy affordable homes, make serious cash flow, and see significant investing advantages they can't get in most other areas. Where are we talking about? Salt Lake? The Great Lakes? Lake Tahoe? Welcome back to this week's BiggerNews, where we're discussing everyone's favorite subject—cash flow (and a LOT of it). We brought Real Estate Rookie co-host Ashley Kehr, a predominantly cash-flow investor, to the show to share why her home region is finally getting the recognition it deserves for real estate investing. If you want the residual income that will lead you to financial freedom and an early retirement, this is the region to look at. You can buy homes for a fraction of what they cost elsewhere, all while getting surprisingly high rent prices, leaving you with a serious supply of cash flow at the end of the month. We're talking about the MOST affordable cities in this area, why the tech industry is moving in, and one crucial advantage that makes this market almost future-proof. In This Episode We Cover: “Lake Effect” cash flow and why it's making landlords wealthy in this affordable area The most affordable (and cash-flowing) markets in this under-the-radar region Why more and more tech companies are moving into this overlooked area Appreciation potential and the cities with cash flow AND rising home prices The “booming” area that has serious infrastructure support for more jobs/businesses And So Much More!

Welcome to a new episode of Get Creative. In this episode, we dive deep into the world of creative financing with Real Estate Rookie's Ashley Kehr and Tony J Robinson. If you've ever been curious about seller finance, subject-to-deals, or simply finding innovative ways to invest in real estate without breaking the bank, this episode is your golden ticket! We break down complex strategies into digestible nuggets, making creative financing accessible to all. Highlights: "I've never made $1 in real estate by myself. Real estate is a team sport, and networking isn't just a good idea; it's an absolute requirement." "Creative financing is not about paying less; it's about thinking more creatively about how you structure the deal. You can often pay more on paper and still come out ahead." "The value of anything is not based on the purchase price. It's based on what you can do with it. It's about the utility and the income it can generate for you."

What is ARV in real estate? You've heard the term before but might not know what it means. ARV stands for after repair value, the value of a property AFTER you rehab, renovate, or upgrade it. While this metric may seem like something that only house flippers should care about, ARV is something that ANY rental property investor should pay close attention to because if you get it wrong, you could lose tens of thousands of dollars. In this Rookie Reply, we'll show you how to estimate ARV and what common mistakes rookies make when calculating this crucial number. Then we answer how to write off repairs vs. CapEx (capital expenditures) on your taxes, and Ashley's easy answer when you don't know the difference between the two! Plus, why you should ALWAYS check your breakers when something goes wrong. If you want Ashley and Tony to answer a real estate question, you can submit a question here, post in the Real Estate Rookie Facebook Group, or call us at the Rookie Request Line (1-888-5-ROOKIE). In This Episode We Cover: ARV (after repair value) explained and why it's so useful when buying rental property How to estimate ARV and pull comps from nearby sold properties Rookie mistake you might make when estimating ARV and how to know your calculations are correct When ARV is (and isn't) important, plus, why purchase price isn't everything CapEx (capital expenditures) vs. repairs and how to write these common expenses off Why Ashley can't ever just relax on the weekends And So Much More!

Buying a rental property for just eighty bucks? There's no way that's possible. How can you close on a rental for the same amount of money it takes to fill up a tank of gas? Surprisingly, one type of mortgage lets you come to the closing table with no money down, no PMI (private mortgage insurance), and, if you play your cards right, (almost) no closing costs. Clint Campbell even used it on his recent house hack. Thanks to serving in the military, Clint had his college paid for by Uncle Sam. When the opportunity to be deployed came up, Clint took it, knowing he'd make more while spending less. He was able to save up a nice chunk of change and used it to buy a rushed first rental property. But then, Clint realized he could pay almost NOTHING for a home he would live in, so he looked around for just that, and the eighty-dollar house hack came to be! In today's episode, you'll learn all about the VA loan Clint used to pay just eighty dollars for his first house hack, the limitations to this loan that service members MUST know about, and how to turn your girlfriend into a handyman and tenant combo who still loves you.
