Here's what you'll walk away with: a clear understanding of how owning a rental property—structured properly—becomes one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available. I cut through the confusion, myths, and “magic” sometimes associated with real estate and reveal where most people get things disastrously wrong. Real estate is math, not magic.We'll walk through a simple, real-world example: a $500,000 rental property with 20% down. I show you how each wealth engine works together—cash flow, appreciation, loan paydown, and tax shields—and, more importantly, why leverage is your greatest ally and your biggest risk. The same math that helps you build wealth can sink you if you're not careful.I also draw some hard lines: why cash flow alone doesn't build true wealth; why a fragile deal can destroy your finances; and why mitigating risk is critical. Don't let one property destroy your financial future—let it accelerate the wealth you're already building.IN TODAY'S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:The “four engines” of real estate wealth and how they work together: cash flow, appreciation, loan paydown, and tax shieldsWhy leverage explodes your returns—and how it can also magnify your riskThe real math behind a $500,000 rental property exampleWhy true wealth is built on your balance sheet (not your checking account)The importance of liquidity, diversification, and solid financial foundations before buying rentalsHow to set yourself up so real estate accelerates, not destroys, your money machineRECOMMENDED EPISODES FOR YOUIf you liked this episode, click here to enjoy these and more:https://melabraham.com/show/9 Subtle Behaviors That Quietly Signal You're Upper ClassThe Psychology of People Who Have $1M Net WorthThe Silent Rules of the Financial System That Keep You Poor7 Assets Rich People Never Buy And The Poor Always DoHow Much Money Do You Actually Need to Be Rich in 2026RECOMMENDED VIDEOS FOR YOU If you liked this video, you'll love these ones:9 Subtle Behaviors That Quietly Signal You're Upper Class: https://youtu.be/dbdUDwElYY0The Psychology of People Who Have $1M Net Worth: https://youtu.be/-65r-OsaHMEThe Silent Rules of the Financial System That Keep You Poor: https://youtu.be/akr5474dwps7 Assets Rich People Never Buy And The Poor Always Do: https://youtu.be/A9f-IgNKU8wORDER MY NEW USA TODAY BESTSELLING BOOK:Building Your Money Machine: How to Get Your Money to Work Harder For You Than You Did For It!The key to building the life you desire and deserve is to build your Money Machine—a powerful system designed to generate income that's no longer tied to your work or efforts.

If you're like most rookies, you probably won't buy a rental property in 2026. After all, there are too many things working against you: high mortgage rates, fewer deals, and concerns about the housing market. Plus, you're just not “ready” yet, right? Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Today, we're breaking down the three biggest reasons why most rookies won't invest in real estate this year. These hurdles have one thing in common: fear. It might be that you lack the confidence to make an offer, or perhaps you're waiting for the “perfect” deal to fall into your lap. Maybe you're convinced you need more education, when really, you've got a bad case of analysis paralysis. Whatever the reason, it's time to stop merely dreaming about building wealth with real estate and start executing. In this episode, we'll show you the huge opportunity cost of sitting on the sidelines, how getting creative can make the numbers work, and why it's okay to submit a “lowball” offer. Stick around for a simple rookie challenge that will help you make serious progress in your investing journey this year! In This Episode We Cover The three reasons why most rookies won't buy a rental property in 2026 Common fears that could stop you from taking down your first real estate deal Why your nine-to-five job isn't actually any “safer” than real estate investing Why waiting for the “perfect” deal could cause you to miss out on great deals The 2026 challenge that will help you break free from analysis paralysis And So Much More!

Money. It's the first BIG hurdle every rookie faces when buying a rental property. Can't put 20% down? Maybe you don't need to! Welcome to another Rookie Reply! We're back with three new questions from the BiggerPockets Forums, and first, we hear from someone who's looking to scrounge up the funds for their first real estate investment. If you have the right deal, you could bring very little, and in some cases, no money, to the table. But it'll probably require some legwork! Next, if you're looking for off-market properties, you'll want a reliable wholesaler who can deliver a steady stream of quality deals. Stay tuned as we show you how to not only find them but also become part of their inner circle. We also tackle a question many rookies have: Should you line up your financing before or after you've found a deal? One approach gives you a clear edge when it comes to narrowing your buy box, making offers, and negotiating with sellers! Looking to invest? Need answers? Ask your question here! In This Episode We Cover Ways to buy an investment property with little or no money down Creative financing strategies YOU could be using to fund deals in 2026 How to find reliable wholesalers who can provide consistent deal flow Why lining up financing early gives you a serious edge when making offers How to build trust with potential partners, lenders, and wholesalers And So Much More!

Can you really become a millionaire with only four rental properties?

Eight rental properties. That's all you need to retire early. Don't believe us? Today's guest went from corporate life to early retirement, generating over $100,000 per year in cash flow thanks to a small, powerful rental property portfolio. He didn't start with a ton of money, and he had no experience. But he followed a simple, genius strategy: Save, buy, repeat, pay off. Vicente Garcia wanted to build a college fund for his children. When he moved to a new home, he realized he had an income-producing asset right in front of him. So, he turned his old primary residence into a rental, recognized its potential, and a few years later bought his first full-fledged investment property. By combining savings from his job, recycling his properties' cash flow, and using 401(k) loans (an incredibly underrated tool), Vicente grew to eight rental properties. His goal? Not to scale, but to slowly pay off the portfolio. Now, in his 50s, Vicente has six-figure cash flow, a paid-off rental portfolio of eight properties, and only one thing on his mind: what's next? In This Episode We Cover Don't sell, rent instead! The life-changing effects of turning your primary residence into a rental Don't have enough for a down payment? Why a 401(k) loan could get you your first (or next) rental faster Paying off your rentals vs. buying more: The strong argument for a small, debt-free portfolio It's not too late to start! Why you're only around a decade away from retirement with real estate Why Vicente says now may be one of the best times to begin investing in years And So Much More!

Tired of working a nine-to-five job that dominates your time and energy? You could be closer to financial freedom than you think, even if you're like today's guest—living alone, working multiple jobs, and hustling to make ends meet. In just four years, she built a rental portfolio that now cash flows $4,000 a month! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Recently separated, virtually broke, and living in a tiny apartment, Allana Lippman had a “crazy” thought while writing the monthly rent check to her landlord: Maybe—just maybe—she could build wealth with real estate, too. But rather than spending months (or years) educating herself about real estate investing, she dove right in. And good thing she did, because the first deal that fell in her lap was a “secret” duplex, listed as a single-family home, that quite literally changed her life. It not only gave her a place to live but also another unit and a tenant paying down her mortgage! Allana has already scaled her real estate portfolio to 10 properties, but now, she's reevaluating her investing strategy. Stick around to hear why she's shifting her focus toward a smaller portfolio that will allow her to truly “own her time,” work less, and travel more! In This Episode We Cover How Allana scaled her rental portfolio to 10 properties in just four years Making $4,000 in monthly cash flow with 15 rental units How Allana found a “secret” duplex disguised as a single-family home The mixed-use building that has become Allana's “cash cow” Juggling real estate investing and TWO jobs (without burning out) Diversifying your real estate portfolio with multiple investing strategies How to achieve financial freedom with a “small and mighty” portfolio And So Much More!

In this episode of the podcast, we're tackling a question many female real estate investors face: Should you invest in real estate if you have credit card debt? We share how tools like 0% APR cards can be used strategically for renovations—when you have the cash and discipline to pay them off—while explaining why it's nearly impossible to out-invest 20–30% credit card interest. We break down key red flags, including making only minimum payments, having no emergency reserves, and relying on rental cash flow to cover interest with no plan to eliminate principal.We walk through a few cases where investing while carrying debt might make sense, such as a conservative flip or a house hack that significantly reduces your housing costs, allowing you to attack debt faster. Lastly, we discuss using reserves, selling, or refinancing properties to pay off high-interest credit cards, and the mindset shift from avoidance to taking small, quick-win steps forward.

Housing prices are soaring, starter homes are disappearing, and young buyers feel like they're entering a game that's already been won. In this episode of the Rent Perfect Podcast, David Pickron and Scot Aubrey break down why today's housing market feels less like opportunity—and more like a fully loaded Monopoly board.From $120,000 starter homes to $500,000 “entry-level” houses, the guys reflect on how real estate investing used to work, how institutional investors changed the game after 2008, and why Wall Street now owns thousands of single-family homes across the country. They also react to a new White House housing initiative aimed at limiting institutional buyers and giving individual homeowners and small investors a fairer shot.Is this the beginning of real change—or just another well-intentioned policy with unintended consequences? What does it mean for landlords, parents trying to help their kids buy their first home, and investors planning for retirement?This candid conversation cuts through the noise to explore:Why housing affordability feels out of reachHow government policy reshaped the marketThe real impact of institutional investorsWhether the American Dream is still attainableIf you're a landlord, investor, or future homeowner trying to understand where the market is headed, this episode is for you.For landlords. By landlords. This is the Rent Perfect Podcast.
Is a $100,000 rental property ever worth it? We see so many markets across the country that sport cheap rental properties. But, are you really just buying a problem that will never truly cash flow, or do these dirt-cheap deal-finders know something that we don't? We're back, as Dave and Henry answer your questions from the BiggerPockets Forums. First, we're talking about cheap rental properties—$100K or less—and when Henry will and won't buy them. How much money should you put down on a rental property? One investor has a different idea than the standard 20%-25% down, and Dave agrees—if you want more cash flow, less stress, and a more stable portfolio. Is flipping…moral? Concerned homebuyers say house flippers are taking inventory off the market, and Henry…thinks they have a point (to some extent). Finally, after years of working with hard money lenders, Henry shares (more like yells) some choice words at any lenders listening on how to make the industry suck a little less. In This Episode We Cover $100K rental properties: Are they too cheap to be a cash-flowing investment? How much money to put down on a rental property to cash flow in 2026 Interest-only loans: When Dave and Henry say it's totally worth it Henry's rant against hard money lenders and why investors must be careful The morally-right way to flip a house (without hurting homebuyers) And So Much More!

In this episode, we tackle a big question for women building wealth through real estate: should you invest when you have credit card debt—and can credit cards ever be used strategically? Guest Malia Gudenkauf, also known as Little Miss Finance, breaks down when credit card debt is a hard no, when it might be acceptable, and why paying off 20–30% interest often beats chasing the next deal. We dig into the difference between using a 0% APR promo card versus revolving high-interest debt, plus the few situations where investing with debt can make sense, such as a conservative cosmetic flip or a house hack that slashes your housing costs so you can attack balances faster. We also flag major red flags, such as making only minimum payments, relying on rental cash flow to cover interest, and investing without reserves. Beyond the numbers, we talk about the stress of debt, the habit of “burying your head in the sand,” and how real estate should expand your life—not add panic.

Real estate didn't just change our income—it transformed our time, relationships, and what we believe is possible for our lives. In this episode, we share honestly about the lifestyle shifts we've experienced since becoming real estate investors: non-traditional work weeks, flexible days built around things we love (like pickleball, personal training, and slow Fridays), and the ability to travel or go home for weeks at a time without asking for PTO.We talk about how our social circles have completely changed as we've surrounded ourselves with ambitious women who talk about equity, mindset, and expansion. Amelia opens up about leaving a 9-year relationship, how having her own portfolio gave her the option to walk away, and why you can still invest even if your partner isn't on board.We also break down how real estate has made us financially stronger through debt paydown, equity, tax benefits, and the confidence that we can go out and make more money because we have the skills. If you're a woman who wants more freedom, alignment, and audacity in your life, this conversation will feel like a glimpse of what's possible for you, too.

Putting Rental Property in a Trust - Lender Rules
Click Here for the Show Notes How much cash should you really keep in reserve for your rental properties—and how does that change as your portfolio grows? In today's episode, Marco answers a great question from listener Clint, who's actively scaling his Kansas City rental portfolio and wants to avoid tying up too much idle cash while still protecting himself from vacancies, repairs, and surprises. Marco breaks down the real factors that matter—local market strength, tenant quality, property age, neighborhood class, and eviction risk—and shares his practical rule of thumb for reserves, plus how to intelligently scale them as you move from one property to ten or more. If you've ever wondered whether you're holding too much cash (or not enough), this episode will help you find the balance between safety and growth. -------------------------------- Throwback Thursday Episode (The episode originally took place in the year 2021) This episode is part of our Throwback Series and may include references to older content such as web classes, events, promotions, or links that are no longer active or available.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene sits down with Jennifer Ruelens, a longtime property manager and unapologetic truth-teller in the real estate industry. With more than two decades of hands-on experience, Jennifer shares what buy-and-hold investors often misunderstand about property management, tenant relationships, and the real work required to make rentals perform over time. The conversation explores why real estate investing is rarely passive, how deferred maintenance and avoidance cost investors far more than management fees, and why many landlords struggle when they underestimate the human side of housing. Jennifer explains how professional property management reduces risk, stabilizes assets, and helps investors focus on long-term wealth rather than short-term cash flow. Listeners will also hear a candid discussion about ego, DIY investing, family dynamics, and why many investors fail not because of bad deals, but because they avoid hard conversations and responsibility. This episode offers a grounded, experience-driven perspective on what it really takes to succeed with buy-and-hold real estate. In this episode, you will hear: Why buy-and-hold real estate is a business, not a passive investment How poor property management decisions erode long-term returns The true cost of deferred maintenance and conflict avoidance Why professional management often increases NOI despite added fees How stabilizing properties protects both tenants and investors The role of expectations, transparency, and service in tenant retention Follow and Review If you enjoy the show, please follow Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing on Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review.

This is how to buy a rental property in 2026. You don't need experience, a big bank account, or a complicated spreadsheet. Anyone can follow these seven steps to acquire (at least) one rental property by the end of 2026. Real estate investments are one of the best ways to grow wealth, reach financial freedom, and retire early. But you need to start with your first rental property to get to your end goal. We know how to do it because both Dave and Henry went from zero rentals (and almost no money) to financially independent investors. It took Dave 15 years, but Henry only 7. And you might be able to do it faster. We'll start by helping you define your goal: how much passive income do you want and by when? Then, how to pick the right strategy, market, and property to fit that goal. We'll share key rules of thumb to help you analyze (calculate the profit of) your first rental and understand what a “good deal” really looks like. Then, how to make offers, manage your first rental, and repeat it, so you can reach financial freedom. This isn't theory; we've followed these seven steps to achieve life-changing passive income. Now, it's your turn. In This Episode We Cover How to buy your first rental property by the end of 2026 (it's possible!) The first thing you should do before you look at a single rental property Why we choose our investing strategy before choosing a market to invest in The easiest way to analyze rental properties (and what a “good deal” looks like) The biggest mistake new investors make when submitting offers Do this during the first 90 days of owning a rental (very, very important) And So Much More!

Real Estate Investor Dad Podcast ( Investing / Investment in Canada )
In this episode, Anderson attorneys Amanda Wynalda, Esq., and Eliot Thomas, Esq., tackle listener questions on reducing capital gains taxes and advanced tax strategies for real estate investors and business owners. They explore the intricacies of cost segregation studies and bonus depreciation versus Section 179, including timing issues for renovations. Amanda and Eliot discuss strategies for minimizing capital gains after decades of depreciation, converting ordinary income to capital gains in development deals, and the tax implications of oil and gas working interest investments. The duo also covers deductible expenses for corporate retreats, entity structuring for piano tuning and bookkeeping businesses, and sophisticated trading partnerships using C corporations. Finally, they take a deep dive into Solo 401(k) contribution limits, explaining the differences between employee contributions, employer matches, and the mega backdoor Roth strategy for maximizing retirement savings. Tune in for expert advice on these and more! Submit your tax question to taxtuesday@andersonadvisors.com Highlights/Topics: "I purchased a rental and did a cost seg in 2024. I renovated it in 2025. Can I use a cost segregation and/or Section 179 to depreciate the new renovation assets in 2025?" Answer: Yes, bonus depreciation works; 179 has limitations. [21:16] “How can I reduce capital gains on the sale of a rental property after nearly 27 and a half years? The accelerated depreciation reduced the basis to zero." Answer: 1031 exchange, installment sale, or opportunity zones. "How can I get capital gains on my K-1 instead of ordinary income on my investment into a real estate developer corporation?" Answer: Development corporations typically generate ordinary income, not capital. "What expenses for an off-site retreat for an LLC member and officers meeting are deductible? For example, travel, lodging, meals, activities." Answer: Travel, lodging, 50% meals if genuinely business-related. "If I invest in an oil and gas working interest and I have a first year larger intangible drilling cost loss than is needed for a given tax year based on adjusted gross income, can the excess be carried forward to a future tax year as a net operating loss? Would the NOL have alternative minimum tax implications as well?" Answer: Yes, NOL carries forward; minimal AMT concerns today. "How do I set up a holding company in California? I want the holding company to own my two companies. One's a piano tuning business and then a bookkeeping business. I have an average income of $125,000 per year combined: $45K for piano, $80K for bookkeeping." Answer: Wyoming LLC holding company owns two California entities. "I want more information on how I can structure my LLC more efficiently for day trading. What can I do to minimize my taxes for the new year? How can I lower my capital gains tax from day trading?" Answer: Trading partnership with C corporation for deductions. "Please take a deep dive into Solo 401(k) contributions. What are the individual contribution limits, employer match limits, and especially the voluntary after tax contribution limits. Which components need to be earned income and how does this change if contributing to a Roth 401(k)?" Answer: $72K total; $24.5K employee; mega backdoor uses after-tax.

It is no secret: The housing market has been engineered to keep you out. Institutions are buying entire neighborhoods while the average saver is told to "wait for rates to drop." That is a dead end. Today, we are deploying a specific Counter-Measure. We are bypassing the banks, skipping the mortgage, and buying shares of cash-flowing rental properties for as little as $100. I'm sitting down with Nick Roman from Real Bricks to expose how fractional ownership is no longer a "crypto gimmick"—it is SEC-regulated, deed-backed Liquidity that puts you on the same playing field as the hedge funds. But we aren't just playing offense. We are playing Active Defense. Later in this episode, I'm showing you the "Yellowstone Loophole"—how to use bees, "ugly house" photos, and specific legal exemptions to slash your property tax bill. The county treats you like a tenant on your own land. It's time to cut their rent.
