Don't have a ton of money to invest in rental properties? No problem! You don't need hundreds of thousands of dollars to start building wealth. Chris Young, a (not-so) rookie investor from Southern California, started with just five percent down. He bought a $500,000 home in pricey Los Angeles for just $25,000 out-of-pocket. Now, Chris has four rental properties, one of which he uses as a vacation home, and hundreds of thousands in equity! Plus, he did it all while working a W2! Chris knew he wanted to invest in real estate early on. So, when he started his full-time job, he also got his real estate agent license, allowing him to have a backup source of income in case his career didn't work out. But, thankfully, his real estate has been doing more than alright! He performed a “live-in BRRRR” (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) on his first property, making him hundreds of thousands in equity, then bought another one! But, after attending BPCon, Chris knew he needed a true investment property. What gets you monthly cash flow and a vacation home to use whenever you want? A short-term rental! But not everything went as planned—one unlucky event put his entire house out of commission for months! However, Chris is still thrilled that he has bought this property. He shares why he picked its specific market, how he dodged local competition, and did it all with just ten percent down! In This Episode We Cover: How to start building your real estate portfolio with just five percent down! The “live-in BRRRR” strategy that made Chris hundreds of thousands of dollars  Picking your vacation rental market and why you DON'T want to go where everyone else is Using a ten percent down second home loan to buy your first short-term rental  The one very unlucky event that cost Chris $40,000 (you CAN'T avoid it!)  And So Much More!

Hey There.  This is OLA.  Today, we're diving into more wholesale real estate, and I'm here to be your guide. So grab a seat, because we're about to uncover the best wholesale real estate books that will pave your path to triumph. But before we dive into these treasure troves of knowledge, let's break down the basics of wholesale real estate in a way that even your grandma would get it. Imagine you're at a warehouse store, grabbing a massive bag of your favorite chips at a discounted price. Now, picture selling those individual bags to your pals at a slightly higher rate but still cheaper than what they'd pay at a convenience store. Well, that's the essence of wholesale real estate – but instead of chips, we're dealing with houses! Wholesale real estate is a smart strategy. You, yes you, become the middle-person, connecting motivated sellers who need to sell quickly with investors hungry for prime real estate opportunities. Your role is to secure properties at prices lower than what savvy investors would pay, and then, like a matchmaker, connect the seller and investor for a win-win situation. And guess what? I've personally scored a whopping $82,000 net profit from a single deal using this method! But wait, there's more to it than meets the eye. Wholesale real estate isn't just about connecting buyers and sellers. It's about understanding the market, finding motivated sellers, and honing your negotiation skills. It's a blend of detective work, interpersonal finesse, and real estate expertise all rolled into one exciting adventure! So, whether you're a beginner dipping your toes into real estate or a seasoned investor, wholesale real estate is your ticket to some serious gains. It's a win-win for everyone involved: sellers get quick sales, investors score great deals, and you – the clever middleperson – pocket a well-deserved fee. Ready to learn more? Well, here comes the best part! I've handpicked an assortment of remarkable wholesale real estate books that will skyrocket your expertise. Let's kick things off with a must-read:  Wholesale Real Estate Book Number 1: "The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down" by the incredible Brandon Turner.

Twenty-eight rental units before turning twenty-eight years old? That takes some SERIOUS drive. But after talking to Jake Radawick, the whole story makes much more sense. Within three years, Jake built a rental property portfolio that brings in over $200,000 a year in rent and provides Jakes with a full-time salary's worth of passive income. But Jake wouldn't have done any of it if it weren't for his family—specifically his brother. Jake's older brother has been his “why” for as long as he can remember. He broke through barriers and was able to achieve what most thought impossible of someone with autism. This gave Jake the confidence to go after goals that others told him weren't achievable. And now, after three years, a lot of work, and some serious goals, Jake has a real estate portfolio that would have taken most investors decades to build. But it didn't come without its struggles. From financing blunders to pipes bursting and flooded basements, this episode will open you up to the realities of building a sizable rental portfolio. But, if you're willing to take risks like Jake, pivot when possible, and build a team of investing experts, you too could replace your W2 income with real estate profits in just a few years!  In This Episode We Cover: How to build a sizable real estate portfolio in three years or less Knowing your “why” behind investing and why you NEED one to be successful How to save up for a down payment and why side jobs are a MUST when building wealth Live-in BRRRRs and capitalizing on equity to build your portfolio even faster  Investing out of state and why balancing cash flow with appreciation is a must The “snowball” method that Jake used to buy properties faster than most investors What to do when no one will finance your loan and why you should always have a great relationship with your banker And So Much More!

In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have an amazing guest, David Pere who shares his insights and real estate story on shifting a career path from a military to real estate business, creative financing, strategies on how to get involve in real estate deal without money, what are his favorite asset classes and why, how to find sellers and opportunities, why decisiveness and consistency are important, and more incredible stuff on his wealth-building journey! David Pere is a marine vet, author, podcaster, speaker, visionary, real estate investor, and Founder and Chief-Executive-Officer at From Military to Millionaire. He is dedicated to helping service members and veterans learn how to build wealth through real estate investing, entrepreneurship, and personal finance. He is also host “The Military Millionaire Podcast”, and authored the book, “The No B.S. Guide to Military Life: How to Build Wealth, Get Promoted, and Achieve Greatness”. David built a massive real estate community and social presence. It was in his military days he realized that working 12-hours a day on someone else doesn't help him achieve a life he wanted. He wanted the ability to work less if he wanted to, working whenever, wherever, and whatever he wants. He believes that a good communicator, net worker, and connector with less capital has a huge space in real estate business. It is important that you can make decisions  and have continual progression!   Some Questions I Ask: Where did your journey start for you, brother? When was it when you really thought about investing in real estate? What were some of the skill sets that you knew you could leverage going into this wealth-building journey? What were some of the things that you see people holding back when it comes to a wealth-building journey? Why real estate and what was your vision? What is it that you are involved in now? If you have to pick one as your favorite investment just because of why you like it, and one that has been the best investment from a pure number standpoint, what would those asset classes be? What do you say to those people in terms of how they can really get their start and get involved in a deal even if they don't have that money? Where did you start with your research on creative deals? How did you take that first step and structure something creative that works? How powerful can be the “my price your terms, and your price my terms” strategy? What are you doing to protect your wealth, and what opportunities are you looking forward to capitalizing on and your outlook in 2023? How have you approached elevating your social presence and expanding your net worth? What does your strategy and approach to finding those sellers and those opportunities look like? What are some ways you go about to gather that data? What is it that keeps you driving down this path for financial freedom, and what does real wealth mean to you, David?   In This Episode, You Will Learn: David's real definition of success. Why money is the easiest part of the equation to solve. Creative financing strategy.   Quotes: “There's no occupation in the world that prepares you better for entrepreneurship.” “Any decision is better than no decision, don't get paralyzed.” “Money is the easiest part of the equation to solve.” “Find the great deal and the money will follow.”   Resources Mentioned: Rich Dad Poor Dad book by Robert Kiyosaki The Book in Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down by Brandon Turner Your Next Five Moves book by Patrick Bet-David PropStream   Connect with David Pere on:  Military Millionaire The Military Network Facebook Group Instagram LinkedIn The Military Millionaire Podcast   Sponsor Links: GoBundance  - Text: "MILLIONAIRE" to 844.447.1555 Indochino: Get 10% off of any purchase on $399 or more with the promo code: MINDCAST   Accredited Investor List - Text "DEALS" to 844.447.1555 Free Financial Audit: Text "XRAY" to 844.447.1555 Upcoming Events: Text "Events" to 844.447.1555 Millionaire Notes: Text "Notes" to 844.447.1555 Connect with Matty A. and Text me to 844.447.1555    Show Brought To You By: www.MillionaireMindcast.com Questions?

Welcome to Investories Deep Dive Season 1: Creative Financing  The Whole Show.  Geek out with seller financing gold to understand how Cody and Christian scaled massively, learned as they earned, structure deals and crush goals!    We're breaking down the strategies to empower your Real Estate investing journey.  Season 1 is all about creative financing. The who, the what, and importantly the how.  Creative financing isn't just seller financing, and we're going to dive into it all, from subto, to hard money.  This week we sit down with Cody and Christian of multifamilystrategy.com to talk how they grew their portfolio of duplexes, triplexes, apartment buildings and even resorts... through creative financing. And how you can too. Christian and Cody: Multi-Family Real Estate Investing Experts Cody started investing in multifamily real estate properties at age 19. With a capital of less than $3000 and a goal to help his mother retire, he leveraged creative financing approaches and built meaningful connections that eventually helped him acquire 105 multifamily units – and it's still growing. Christian on the other hand started investing at age 29 and by the age of 30, he has amassed a total of 95 units all by himself, without having solid connections to help him get started. Today, both of them are working together to achieve their goal of helping as many people as possible get into the lucrative world of multifamily real estate investing, so they can leave their 9-5 jobs, achieve financial freedom, and take back control of their lives. Part one is focused on mindset and connecting with the right people.  What is Seller Financing? Seller financing, also known as owner financing, is when a seller provides financing for a buyer to purchase a property or business. This can be done through a mortgage, promissory note, or other type of loan agreement. There are several benefits and myths associated with seller financing. Benefits of seller financing include: Allowing buyers who may not qualify for traditional financing to purchase a property or business Helping sellers to sell a property or business that has been on the market for a long time Providing a way for sellers to earn interest on the sale of their property or business Allowing sellers to negotiate the terms of the loan, such as the interest rate and repayment schedule However, there are also several myths associated with seller financing, such as: Myth: Seller financing is only for buyers with bad credit. Reality: While seller financing may be a good option for buyers with bad credit, it can also be beneficial for buyers with good credit who want more flexibility in the terms of their loan. Myth: Seller financing is always risky for the seller. Reality: While there is always some risk involved in any type of lending, seller financing can be structured in a way that minimizes risk for the seller. For example, using a promissory note with a due-on-sale clause can protect the seller if the buyer defaults on the loan. Myth: Seller financing is only for residential properties. Reality: Seller financing can be used for both residential and commercial properties, as well as for businesses. Overall, seller financing can be a viable option for both buyers and sellers, but it is important to understand the benefits and myths associated with this type of financing. It is always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or attorney before entering into a seller financing agreement to ensure that it is a good fit for your individual situation.

Welcome back to another podcast episode! We recently received a great topic request on Instagram to talk about low and no-money-down deals that we've each done so this week we are diving into exactly that. In this episode, we will be sharing three examples of deals we've done, all real-life examples from our personal portfolios, and we hope they are super helpful and allow you to think outside of the box!Amelia purchased a single-family home in April 2021 after having found the deal through a local investor she saw working through Facebook Marketplace. But by the time she called him about the deal, it had already sold, so Amelia did a bit of research and found out that the seller owned multiple properties in the area. She reached out to see if he had other properties for sale and offered a package deal for multiple properties. This offer was for a 30-day close on four properties and despite dragging her dad along (kicking and screaming), it was a killer deal.  Amelia and her parents partnered 50/50, but none of them had to come out of pocket for money with their creative financing techniques.  Grace also has done her share of creative financing and on her deal wanted to use instant equity that they were buying into. At the time she had one single-family home that was under construction and wanted to buy two duplexes (four units) for $255,000. 20% Down would have been $51,000, which she absolutely did not have at the age of 23 and only one year into her W-2. Even splitting it 50/50 with her partner wasn't going to work, but Grace was willing to work some creative financing to make it happen. Grace knew the owner of the four units who had had a wholesaler approach him to purchase the units. Grace convinced the seller to let her look at the unsigned contract and told him, in short, that it was basically a piece of crap, and he should sell to her instead. The good news was that the wholesaler had already worked the seller down to his bottom dollar of $255K. Grace called the bank she had used for a previous deal, which turned her down. She called a second bank, one she had been banking with personally, and spoke with the VP directly, who knew Grace and her background well and was willing to take the chance on her deal of 10% down. Being newly employed at the time and her boyfriend being unemployed, Grace turned to her sister to bring her in as a 3rd partner in the deal. Her sister agreed and this allowed Grace's portion of the down payment to drop from the original amount of $51K to only $8,500.  The final example were going to share is the first (and only) deal Grace and Amelia have partnered on together. In a previous episode you heard us share that we purchased a property in Amelias hometown from one of her friends parents for only $38,940. Having mentioned to the seller about a year prior her interesting buying, the seller remembered that seed Amelia had planted. One important thing to note about this deal was that the seller is moving and not taking everything with them, and was moving into an apartment and didn't need the immediate seller payoff. Amelia and Grace negotiated to pay her one year after closing, so they could fix it up and flip it with no down payment. They planned to do some painting, updated the flooring, and sell it for between $60-70K. During the process, plans changed and they ended up putting a renter into the property, furnished, and with a few other unexpected expenses coming up, they had to do some additional work to refinance the property so Amelia could solely own the property and buy out Grace's portion. A few months in, Amelia refinanced with her local bank to purchase Grace's portion of the property, which appraised at $65K. To buy out Grace's portion of the property Amelia partnered with her parents because, despite Amelia financing the down payment, her parents adore the property and would like to flip it when the current tenant moves out. All in all, they were under contract for $38,940 and did a wrap mortgage for the financing, and paid her off in full after the 1-year time period.  One final recommendation…Don't be afraid to wheel and deal with your bank. Some of them will say no, but some of them also might be interested in what you have to offer, especially if they know that you can get the deal done. So the first deal you do, maybe you won't be able to wheel and deal as much. But as you establish that relationship, just ask and make sure you're exploring all of those options.We hope you liked the breakdown of these deals. As always, if you have any recommendations for future episodes, feel free to DM us on Instagram. We love getting your requests, and we will catch you in the next episode!  Resources:Grab your spot for our retreat in Salt Lake CityConnect with Amelia & Grace on Instagram

BRRRR investing has become one of the most popular real estate investing strategies across the United States. But, the great contractor shortage of 2020 and 2021 almost decimated BRRRR investors. Record high prices, dragged-out timelines, and the inability to rely on almost anyone to fix up houses brought this strategy close to extinction. But now, we're seeing a second wind of BRRRR investing as contractors aren't being stretched so thin and competition for real estate starts to slump.Welcome back to another episode of Seeing Greene, where your “I don't seek validation, validation seeks me” host, David Greene, is back to answer your questions on anything related to real estate. In this episode, we talk about investing methods such as the BRRRR strategy, real estate syndication investing, becoming a real estate professional, and more.

This week's question comes from Rodney through Tony's Instagram direct messages. Rodney, like many investors, has been told that you need twenty percent down to buy a rental property. Rodney wants to know the best way to fund a property without breaking the bank. He's asking: Should I save for a down payment or is there a way to get a rental without the twenty percent down?It's not uncommon for real estate investors to get into deals with far less than 20% down. But, for a beginner, this type of task can seem a bit intimidating, especially if you're looking at your first investment property. Thankfully, the world of real estate presents investors like us with many ways to creatively fund deals!Here are some suggestions:Purchase a vacation rental using a second home loan that only requires ten percent downPitch seller financing to the seller and walk them through the tax benefits of financing the property to youPartner up with an investor who can provide the down payment on the dealSign a joint venture agreement with another investor who can split the down payment with youRemember: if you find a deal you can (probably) find the money for it!And more in the episode…If you want Ashley and Tony to answer a real estate question, you can post in the Real Estate Rookie Facebook Group!

Pace Morby's name has become synonymous with seller financing, subject to deals, and flipping. He is one of the most educated players in the real estate game on all things related to non-traditional financing. He even taught Brandon Turner, the author of Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down, a thing or two on today's show!Originally working as a contractor, Pace was hired on as a flipper for some popular iBuyer portfolios. He flipped over a thousand homes a year but was doing so without building any wealth for himself. This is when he began flipping his own homes and slowly, steadily building a portfolio of rentals that would provide him with the cash flow he desired. Did we mention he did this entirely without bank financing?Since Pace is the go-to investor for all things creative financing, Brandon and David took advantage of his time on the show to ask him about subject to strategies, seller financing tips, and how he takes a seller from consideration to closing. If you've been wondering how to build your rental portfolio without down payments, credit checks, or preapproval from banks, this is THE episode to listen to.In This Episode We Cover:Outsourcing your business so you aren't the driver of every dealStructuring a subject to deal and using it to create a win for the sellerWhy you shouldn't be afraid to offer full price on a seller finance dealThe first phrase you should say to any seller when viewing their propertyWhat to do when your “due on sale” clause comes to fruitionHow to find work, meet investors, and grow your brand through social media And So Much More!Links from the Show:BiggerPockets Youtube ChannelTriple Digit Flip on A&EBiggerPockets Podcast 493: How COVID Changed Real Estate Forever (+How it Didn't!) with Ken McElroyOpendoorZillowStart VirtualRedfinAirbnbKelley Blue BookCraigslistOpen Door CapitalBiggerPockets Podcast 260: The Ultimate Guide to Negotiating (for the Negotiation-Averse) With Former FBI Hostage Negotiator Chris VossEquity AssuranceThe Moth PodcastBrandon Turner's InstagramGrant Cardone's InstagramKen McElroy's WebsitePace Morby Interviews Jerry Norton On How He'd Get His First DealChris Voss' LinkedInFreebies from this episode:Pace's ebook on SubtoExclusive seller video callsCheck the full show notes here: http://biggerpockets.com/show527See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Believe it or not, TikTok isn’t just teenagers doing dances; there are actually some pretty influential investors on the platform. Meet Daniel Iles, a TikTok and Youtube creator who bought a staggering $1,000,000 in real estate during his first year of investing. Daniel was able to amass this serious sum of real estate while only putting $23,000 down. Now that’s impressive! Due to an aggressive goal of reading 60 books a year, Daniel picked up a book that many of our listeners have heard of, Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down from our very own Brandon Turner. This unlocked the potential of investing in real estate for Daniel. He took advantage of FHA loans, using equity as down payments, and building his credit to get loans from small credit unions and banks.Daniel now owns 9 units and a combined valuation of almost $1,500,000, still with almost no money down. Daniel stresses that his success comes from systems. Whether it’s systems about credit cards, loans, tenant management, deal analyzing, or anything else related to real estate investing, systems are the key to keeping your sanity when things go wrong. He also has some tips for new investors trying to acquire a lot of real estate, in a small amount of time. Creating these systems for scaling will allow you to make smart decisions and invest in a way that doesn’t push you to burn out.   Check the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/show440

Today we are joined by Brandon Turner, co-host of the BiggerPockets Podcast.  Starting out with no money or experience, Brandon built his portfolio one property at a time to currently owning over 50 rental properties.  In this show he'll discuss how to creatively put deals together, the perfect mindset for real estate investing and one investing strategy he focuses on today.      About Brandon: While working for $8 an hour Brandon sold his first home for a small profit.  After that first transaction Brandon became infatuated with the notion of selling real estate for a profit and started house hacking and buying single family rental properties.  With a current portfolio of over 50 rental properties Brandon is an expert at creatively finding and financing real estate deals.   Now a full time investor Brandon also is the co-host of the BiggerPockets Podcast and is the author of three Real Estate investment books “The Book on Rental Property Investing”, “The Book on Managing Rental Properties” and “The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down”.     What you will learn:   Why did Brandon start with flipping houses? (5:50)   What was Brandon's biggest challenge first starting out and how did he overcome it? (8:00)   What does Brandon tell everyone who thinks Real Estate is a “get rich quick” opportunity? (11:35)   What are some of the best tools and resources Brandon leverages for his investing business? (15:39)   What are the top priorities for any new flipper just starting out in their business? (18:24)   Now that he is interviewing some great real estate investors on a daily basis, what are some of Brandon's biggest “ah-ha” moments of the past year? (24:17)   What does Brandon's investment team look like? (26:44)   What advice does Brandon have for new investors about putting deals together? (29:24)   What is the BRRRR strategy? (30:26)   What is the one piece of advice Brandon would give to anyone to become a consistent 6 figure flipper? (35:26)   Quotes: “I think I was making $8 an hour when I bought my first house.”   “Poor people say I can't afford it, rich people ask how can I afford it?”   “When you focus on the process and commit for an extended period of time the results take care of themselves.”   “I have continually invested in a peak market and down market, but my underwriting became that much more important.”   “Once you have the knowledge you can do it again and again and again, nobody can take that from me.”   Resources: Help spread this uplifting content by leaving a review on iTunes: http://bit.ly/MMiTunesReview   Stay in touch with Matty A: Website: https://mattaitchison.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/officialmattya Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialmattya YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCinIteUWBIk-ycgg5i7q99w/featured Free Content: text “REIREADS” to 44222   Connect with Brandon: Website: www.biggerpockets.com BiggerPockets Profile: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/brandonatbp
