Buying a regular rental property can provide steady, predictable income, but if you're looking for something more lucrative, we've got the perfect strategy for you. Today's guest used it to build a real estate business that brings in $800,000 in annual revenue. The best part? It requires less money than you might think. Tune in to hear how he did it—and how YOU can, too!   Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Ahead of the release of his new book, The Glamping Investor, Garrett Brown joins the show to share how you can get started with unique stays in 2025.

You won't want to miss gems like his 60/30/10 rule for choosing a location and the secret to putting very little money down on a piece of land with endless potential! In This Episode We Cover How Garrett built an $800,000 glamping business (without a ton of money upfront) Making luxury hotel-level income with domes, a-frames, and tiny homes Land hacking explained and how to use it to scale your real estate portfolio fast How to find the right piece of land for your glamping site using the 60/30/10 rule Common permitting roadblocks glamping investors face (and how to navigate them) And So Much More!

Is It a Buyer's Market or a Seller's Market? How to Evaluate Your Midterm Rental City On this episode of the Real Estate Education Podcast, Aaron and James dig into one of the most common questions in real estate: is it a buyer's market or a seller's market? The answer—like most things in real estate—is more nuanced than you think. Using up-to-date data from Denver and insights from local lender Lonnie Gleisner, we break down the current housing market into three sub-markets: condos, townhomes, and detached single-family homes—and explain why your answer will depend on your asset class. Plus, Erin shares her insights from consulting with midterm rental investors across the U.S., including how to pick the right city for your MTR strategy, the dangers of analysis paralysis, and why BiggerPockets-style advice like the 1% rule can actually cost you money.

Mike Cossette is an award-winning RE/MAX broker and co-owner of RE/MAX Gateway in Austin, TX. With over 20 years of experience, Mike has built an impressive investment portfolio of 18 properties—including multifamily units, Airbnbs, and even a private island. Known for blending lifestyle, creativity, and strategic investing, he helps clients and fellow agents scale sustainably while leveraging both real estate licenses and entrepreneurial grit.    

In just three years, this investor scaled up to making over $100,000 per year thanks to real estate. He did it all starting in 2022 when interest rates were beginning to rise, the market was turning, and many investors decided to sit on their hands. Thanks to a strategy that allowed him to “recycle” his money, he went from one down payment to 16 rental units in record time. How'd he do it? Only in his 20s, Ricardo Adames already knew he wanted out of his career. Working harder wasn't paying him dividends, so he knew he needed an extra income source. Even after taking a “risk” on his first deal, he was able to walk away with a perfect rental property that only cost him (after all was said and done) $5,000. How's that possible? Simple—the BRRRR method.  In this episode, Ricardo details this cash-recycling method investors can use TODAY to build a six-figure-producing real estate portfolio, even if you have little experience. Plus, Ricardo shares his exact “buy box”—the properties he's targeting for more home-run real estate deals in 2025! In This Episode We Cover How to “recycle” your down payment money and scale way faster with the BRRRR method  Why buying below-market-value is the ultimate risk-mitigator in 2025  How Ricardo went from zero experience to doing eight real estate deals at once just three years later  Why high interest rates aren't stopping you from investing in real estate  Making money even in a down market (Florida!) that most won't invest in  And So Much More!

Could rental properties be your ticket to financial freedom? When today's guest realized his “secure” corporate job wasn't quite as secure as he thought, he plunged head-first into real estate investing and hasn't looked back. In just three years, he's built a real estate portfolio of several no-money-down rentals. Want to repeat his success? Then stay tuned!   Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! When Joe Pozzuoli's high-performing coworkers started being laid off one by one, he knew it was time to take control of his financial future. After trialing a few different side hustles (and even a full-fledged e-commerce business), he eventually landed on real estate. His first deal was a home run—a triplex that cost him zero dollars out of pocket and cash flows over $900 a month to this day!   Joe will show you how to find similar deals, perform multi-unit rehabs, and score discounted properties on real estate auctions. But that's not all. Joe also shares how his investing goals have shifted over time. Once hell-bent on amassing 50 units, Joe's now focusing on a smaller number of paid-off investments. What should YOU do—build a highly-leveraged real estate empire or a low-risk portfolio? Stick around till the end for the answer! In This Episode We Cover How Joe bought his first real estate deal (with a no money down loan!) Scaling your real estate portfolio versus paying off your current properties How to find (and buy) discounted rental properties at bank auctions Flipping houses to purchase more buy-and-hold investment properties Networking to get the best referrals and build out your investing team And So Much More!

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!)

Don't buy rental properties? What if there were investment properties that made way more cash flow than rentals (we're talking $2,000 or more per month)? These unique properties are often cheaper than rentals but command higher income. You don't need any special skills to run one, and you can own them while working a full-time job, accelerating your track to early retirement. Want to know what they are? We're giving the exact property types (and profits) in today's episode. Tony Robinson, host of the Real Estate Rookie podcast, and Nate Weintraub, head of Calico Content and copywriter for BiggerPockets, both ditched the long-term rental route years ago. The stress, low cash flow, and speed to scale weren't worth it. Tony went one route, buying short-term rentals and eventually scaling into a money-making boutique hotel. Nate decided he'd had it with toilets, so he bought the ultimate toiletless investment—a self-storage facility.  Today, they're sharing their profit numbers, rents, and the cost of their investments (which are surprisingly affordable). Plus, how many hours do these take to run? When Tony isn't hosting our sister podcast, and Nate isn't doing podcast SEO, how do they handle the day-to-day operations? And finally, can they convince Dave that long-term rentals aren't superior?  In This Episode We Cover How much you can make with a boutique hotel or self-storage facility (it's a lot) The surprisingly affordable prices of buying these “bigger” real estate deals Finding hotels, motels, and self-storage facilities for sale in your market  How much time it takes to run a short-term rental or self-storage facility  The risks you must know before trying either of these strategies  And So Much More!

Why buy an old, worn-down rental property when you can build something that's highly profitable, low-maintenance, and tailor-made for today's tenants? If you're tired of the constant upkeep and costly repairs that come with regular rentals, stay tuned for an investing strategy that could be your shortcut to financial freedom—build-to-rent!   Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Chad Carson is perhaps best known for his “small and mighty portfolio” approach, but today, he's pulling back the curtain on the strategy he's using to create instant equity and huge cash flow. In this episode, you'll learn how build-to-rent investing gives you all the benefits of regular rentals, but with less competition, less maintenance, and potentially even bigger margins!   Chad shares his best secrets for rookie investors—like what to look for when buying land, the key to finding and keeping contractors in any market, and how to shorten the build-to-rent learning curve by teaming up with a partner. He'll also show you several ways to finance these projects and how to analyze them as both new builds and long-term investments! In This Episode We Cover The pros and cons of using the build-to-rent investing strategy in 2025 The three biggest advantages new builds have over regular rentals How build-to-rent properties give you instant equity and huge cash flow Networking to find the best financing terms and contractor referrals How to identify the perfect piece of land for new development And So Much More!

This investor is producing $12,000 per month in cash flow and is well on his way to early retirement before the age of fifty, and he did it all after taking a DECADE off of investing. By cracking the real estate “formula,” Andre Taylor was able to buy larger properties faster. He used his financial independence number to work backward by picking up properties that would truly help him retire early. He's still buying deals in 2025, and you can retire early, too, if you use his “formula.” Andre started with just $3,000 in the bank. Not $30,000—$3,000. With a bit of sweat equity, he converted a foreclosure into a cash-flowing rental, generating a solid $300 in profit per month per unit. Then, everything clicked—what if he bought enough rentals to replace his income? After calculating his “freedom number,” he knew how many rentals he needed.  But then Andre…took a break. A long break. A decade of not investing. When he got back, it was time to go all out. In today's episode, you'll hear about the buying spree Andre's been on over the past eight years, how he closed on over thirty rental units (some filled with black mold), and why “buying up the block” is the fastest way to reach financial freedom.  In This Episode We Cover How many rentals you'll need to retire early by calculating your “freedom number” Buying foreclosures and the pros and cons of these cheaper deals  The many ways to finance a rental (mortgages, credit cards, 401(k) loans, etc.) Why you should start contacting owners of properties next to your current rentals  How to make the passive income jump faster by buying commercial properties (five units or more!)  And So Much More!

Think you need a dozen rental properties to create generational wealth or retire with real estate? Today's guest is proof that less is often more, especially if you're not in a rush to scale your portfolio and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty. Want his personal playbook? Then don't go anywhere!   Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Matthew Morneault didn't consider himself a real estate investor when he bought his first property, a former meth house plagued with all kinds of issues. But learning how to renovate on the fly, renting the property out, and eventually selling it for a profit gave him the knowledge and confidence to go out and find his next investment. Today, he has three profitable properties—including one that brings in over $90,000 in annual revenue!   As you're about to hear, Matthew has targeted value-add opportunities with bigger margins, refinanced his mortgage at the right time, and pivoted to other investing strategies when things haven't worked out. In this episode, he'll show you how to build a modest portfolio that catapults you toward your investing goals! In This Episode We Cover How Matthew brings in $90,000 in annual revenue from just ONE rental property Turning a “messy” first investment into three profitable properties How to identify the best value-add opportunities for any investment property Little-known VA loan hacks you can use to grow your real estate portfolio The hidden value of building relationships with local credit unions And So Much More!

Could Florida's housing market downturn be the first sign of a nationwide correction — or is it a regional anomaly? In this episode of On the Market, Dave Meyer dives into Florida's sharp drop in home prices, especially in the condo market, and explores the factors behind this shift. Are declining migration, soaring insurance premiums, and excess supply likely to spread to other markets? Whether you're investing in Florida or any other state, understanding these trends is critical to making informed investing decisions in the rapidly changing 2025 housing market.

The housing market is already predicted to see price cuts by the end of the year, but is now the time to buy, or should you wait for further price movement? We brought on an investor who has successfully timed the housing market (three times) to give his thoughts on whether we're at the bottom or we have a long way to go. If you've been holding out for lower home prices and less competition, should you take the risk and wait, knowing a rebound could be on the way? Through a combination of genius and a bit of luck, Brian Burke has sold, bought, and sold at the right times repeatedly. He exited the majority of his real estate portfolio in the early 2020s as prices hit all-time highs and competition was fierce. For the last three and a half years, he hadn't bought anything, up until very recently. Is this a signal that now is the time to buy? Today, we're asking Brian whether 2025 is the right time to buy (and for which assets), how to get in “position” to make a profit as home prices decline, the sellers most likely to give you concessions and further price cuts, and signs YOU should sell your headache rental and trade it for something better. The second half of 2025 could be when the scales tip—are you ready to make a move? In This Episode We Cover Buying near the bottom and how to capitalize on the steepest price cuts  What Brian looks for in a rental property during a down market  How to get even deeper discounts (and seller concessions) in 2025  Signs that you should sell your rental and redeploy the profits  How much debt to take on during volatile times in the housing market  And So Much More!

All it takes is one (yes, ONE!) real estate deal to change your life and jumpstart your path to financial freedom. You could stop after just one, but more often than not, that first deal opens the door to even bigger opportunities, allowing you to build wealth, create more passive income streams, and finally reach financial independence. Every successful real estate investor has had that one deal that set off a domino effect, enabling them to build wealth. We're sharing ours today so you can repeat them! Joining Dave are Garrett Brown and Matt Faircloth, two investors from different backgrounds, strategies, and parts of the country. But both had real estate deals that propelled them forward toward financial freedom. Dave also had a killer real estate deal (only his second deal ever!) that significantly increased his standard of living. We'll share how Garrett made $50,000 (tax-free!) on a repeatable first real estate deal anyone in any area can try. Matt shares how he was able to scale up his portfolio fast when he realized he didn't need to provide the money for his down payments and renovations. Finally, Dave shares the second deal he ever did that upgraded his life permanently and why he does not “sacrifice” to achieve financial freedom faster.  In This Episode We Cover The real estate deals that defined our investing careers (and how they propelled us to financial freedom) The easiest real estate investment for beginners (make $50K+ tax-free!)  Using other people's money to invest in real estate? Why you don't need to have the down payment  How to live for free and speed up your timeline to financial independence like Dave Why you should tell everyone you know that you invest in real estate  And So Much More!

This investor used his primary residence to build a $6,000/month rental property portfolio—helping him semi-retire, cut his workload in half, and generate a sizable income stream outside his job. And he did it with affordable, small multifamily rental properties that he still buys in today's market, all while working a demanding schedule that required his attention 24/7, 40 weeks per year. Bill Price has worked as a sound engineer for some of the music industry's biggest names. He's toured with Justin Bieber, Weezer, and Third Eye Blind (among many more), working intensive hours on global tours. But, in the background, when he was off the road, Bill was building an intentional real estate portfolio to replace his income. Today, less than a decade after buying his first true rental, he's working just 16 weeks per year instead of 40. Bill made some mistakes and some BIG bets that paid off. We're talking terrible tenants, eviction notices, bird cages, dog droppings, and flooded basements. But, through it all, Bill says it was well worth it, as 90% of his rental property investing career has been buying deals and collecting checks. If Bill can manage a rental portfolio while touring in Japan and setting up an impromptu skate park for Justin Bieber, why can't you? In This Episode We Cover How to cut your workload in HALF with a small, cash-flowing rental property portfolio  Turning your primary residence into multiple rental properties so you can scale faster  A big eviction mistake that cost Bill months of time with a bad tenant  Doing a BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat)? Why you should run your numbers as a flip, too Why you should tell EVERYONE within your circle that you buy rental properties! And So Much More!

Five rental properties are all you need to change your life. This income alone could cover all your bills, allowing your entire paycheck to go toward investing as you're fast-tracked to financial freedom and early retirement. Even if you've got a demanding job with long hours and limited free time, investing in real estate is STILL the right move. Today's guest was able to utilize her (very limited) downtime to build a rental portfolio of six units, all while managing her hectic day job. Now, she's in a great position to retire early and is even eyeing her dream retirement house as we speak. Jessica Cruel is editor-in-chief at Allure & SELF, but before the big title, she was living in expensive Newark, New Jersey, looking to invest in real estate while making less than six figures a year. After watching her ex-boyfriend successfully do a real estate deal, she thought, “If he can do it, I can do it better.” So, she bought a rental with multiple units but a sizable renovation checklist. It took her two years to turn it around, but now, she's cashing the checks that will fund her early retirement. Six years later, Jessica has a six-unit portfolio, with enough income to cover her bills and a hunger to build her small, slow-but-steady, financial freedom-enabling real estate portfolio. If she can do it in her pricey area, why can't you?  In This Episode We Cover The single best strategy for starting in real estate (it will save you a TON) Why you DON'T need a huge real estate portfolio to retire early  How to invest in real estate even with a demanding day job How NOT to get your AC unit stolen while you're away (seriously)  Buy your retirement home now!

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!

This investor is making $100,000 per year with small, affordable, repeatable rental properties. He started investing years ago but recently bought another home-run rental for just $87,000, which will continue to boost his passive income. His slow, steady “tortoise” approach is one that anyone (especially beginners) can use in 2025 to build wealth and massive passive income through rental property investing. How do you do it? He's sharing his blueprint. Nathan Nicholson woke up one day in his 30s to realize that his bank account had only $32,000 in it. While by no means is $32,000 a small sum, as a top producer in the mortgage business, he expected to have much more—something needed to change. After watching clients close (and make it rich) on rentals, he decided to give it a shot. But instead of going for the biggest house his money could buy, he opted for a small, affordable property where less could go wrong. It was a good move and one worth repeating. Fast forward over a decade later, Nathan has 22 properties, 10 of which are paid off, with six-figure cash flow coming in every year. He scaled smart (and safely) using his “tortoise approach” to investing—an approach you can use, too! In This Episode We Cover Why buying small (less than 1,000 square feet!) rentals is a smart move for beginners  Taking the “tortoise approach” to wealth so you safely get to early retirement  Cashing out your 401(k) for rentals? Why Nathan says it's worth it  One quick calculation (that beats the 1% rule) every investor should use  Why Nathan is buying even more as price cuts hit many major housing markets  And So Much More!
