Podcasts about rental properties

You've got little savings but want to buy a rental property. You see so many “no money down” investing strategies, but how do you know you won't get burned trying them out? If you want to learn how to invest in real estate with no money, the right way, you need to take tips from those who have done it successfully without overleveraging themselves. Today, we've got two experts who bought rentals with very little savings and did it the legitimate way. Deandra McDonald went from $5,000 in credit card debt and a $28,000 salary to financial freedom with rentals in just a decade. Dave Meyer (your host!) was waiting tables when he bought his first rental. Both did it without sketchy loans, running up credit card debt, or getting in over their heads—and they started with barely any money. In this episode, we'll walk through the steps you need to take and strategies you must try to buy real estate with no money. We'll talk about how to fix your credit and become lendable, improve your income so you have cash reserves, down payment assistance programs that can get you into your first property for under $1,000, and the minimum amount you'll need to invest safely. No money? No problem. This is the blueprint for buying rentals with little to no money!  In This Episode We Cover How to invest in real estate with no money and a lower income  Down payment assistance programs that can cover thousands in closing costs The #1 best strategy for beginner real estate investors that requires the least amount of money  How to fix your money habits and build saving skills so you're ready to buy rentals  Real estate partnership setups that give you equity in exchange for work  What to do when a bank won't approve your mortgage application  And So Much More!

Do you dream of financial freedom, but aren't sure how to reach it? Ashlee Perry was in a similar boat, but in just one year of real estate investing, she has been able to turn her home into a money-making machine and buy a rental property with low money down—bringing her one step closer to her ultimate goal! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! Ashlee had always wanted to reach financial freedom, but it wasn't until she discovered real estate that she saw a clear roadmap for achieving it. To test the waters, Ashlee listed her primary residence on Airbnb and stayed with her parents and friends while it was booked out—a move that made almost $25,000 in year one. She has since bought her first investment property—a duplex she currently house hacks—and converted her previous home into a long-term rental! In this episode, Ashlee shares the strategies she used to create a five-figure income stream using only her primary residence and how she's building a real estate portfolio with low-money-down investment properties. She also offers several helpful tips for rookie landlords, like best practices when inheriting tenants!

Rebecca Thompson transformed her first real estate investment by strategically subdividing a Philadelphia duplex. After joining the WIIRE Community post-divorce, she discovered an off-market property for $265,000 with significant potential. Navigating the subdivision process, Rebecca worked closely with township officials and an engineering firm, investing $7,000 to convert the duplex into two marketable units. Her total renovation cost of $75,000 strategically positioned her for success, ultimately generating $35-$40,000 in profit. What distinguishes Rebecca is her problem-solving approach and commitment to learning. By leveraging community mentorship, she overcame the typical obstacles faced by beginner investors. Her method focused on understanding local housing needs, building critical relationships, and remaining adaptable throughout the investment journey.Rebecca's story illustrates that successful real estate investing isn't about perfection, but about persistent learning, strategic thinking, and willingness to take calculated risks. For female investors feeling intimidated by real estate, her journey proves that with the right mindset and support, significant achievements are possible—even while managing a demanding personal life. Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupFollow Rebecca on InstagramMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

Welcome to the Real Estate Investing School Podcast! In this episode, host Joe Jensen interviews Dave Seymour, a former firefighter turned real estate mogul who got his start in the industry during the 2008 crash. Dave shares how financial hardship and an exhausting 120-hour work week led him to invest $27,000 in real estate education—despite being in pre-foreclosure. That investment marked a turning point, igniting a transformation fueled by mindset and implementation. He recounts his first wholesale deal that earned him $5,000 and how it validated his new path, ultimately leading to a successful career in flipping, wholesaling, and multifamily investing. Dave emphasizes that implementation and accountability are more valuable than inspiration alone, reflecting on how few of his peers followed through after the same training. As the conversation evolves, Dave discusses the strategic progression from small real estate deals to larger multifamily acquisitions and eventually into capital management and lending. He attributes his success to building the right team, leveraging partnerships, and continuously expanding his toolset. He stresses the importance of personal growth, faith over fear, and staying grounded through values rather than ego. Dave also critiques the over-saturation of so-called "experts" online and urges aspiring investors to live a life worthy of storytelling. He closes by explaining how today's market requires wealth protection over quick returns, and that long-term success comes from steady, intentional investing—especially in multifamily real estate.

In our 200th podcast episode, we're revealing our five-year journey from corporate jobs to successful real estate investing. Starting with zero experience in 2020, we quickly learned that success comes from persistent action and strategic learning. Our early years were marked by hustle and extreme frugality. We quit our corporate jobs within two years, acquiring multiple properties through creative financing and bold negotiation. Each mistake became a valuable lesson in building our investment portfolio. By 2022-2023, we shifted from pure acquisition to developing systematic approaches. We hired property managers, created business infrastructures, and learned to work smarter. Our 2024-2025 strategy focused on portfolio refinement, including selling high-maintenance properties, diversifying investments, and exploring passive income streams such as short-term rentals. Our biggest takeaway? Real estate success is a journey of continuous learning and strategic risk-taking. We went from being scared first-time investors to confident entrepreneurs, proving that with determination and the right mindset, financial freedom is achievable. For female investors feeling intimidated: if we can do it, so can you. Your financial independence is waiting!   Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

This is how to make the most money possible from your rental properties without buying another unit. We got into real estate investing to build wealth, not have the biggest portfolio possible. Financial freedom isn't so freeing when you have a hundred rental units and hundreds of tenants calling. So, can you make more money with fewer rental units? Yes, and today, we're giving you five ways to do it. Each of these tips will help you increase your cash flow without having to put a down payment on another property. You can raise the value of each rental unit (growing your net worth) and boost rents by hundreds of dollars a month (more cash flow, same property). We're discussing the amenities that renters will pay more for, the “convenience” factors you can charge for, and the strategies that generate more revenue than long-term rentals. You don't need a huge real estate portfolio to achieve financial freedom, but you do need an efficient one. Follow any of these five tips, and you could make more with less, reaching your ultimate cash flow goal faster. In This Episode We Cover How to increase the “perceived” value of your rental property with inexpensive upgrades  The amenities that renters will gladly pay more for (and aren't difficult to add) The “capacity” renovations Henry uses to increase his cash flow by thousands per year  When to switch from a long-term rental to a higher-revenue short or medium-term rental  The “convenience” amenities that take spare space and turn it into extra income  And So Much More!

This investor turned a $25,000 rental property (yes, you read that right) into a real estate portfolio producing $5,000/month in actual cash flow. He had no experience, lived in a small town many would write off, and was working 60 hours a week. But small towns mean less competition and lower prices, and Dustin Cardenas was ready to take advantage. Seven years later, he's financially free thanks to his small rental portfolio! Dustin's small town of 30,000 people is located in one of the most affordable parts of the country. Houses routinely sell for $30,000 to $50,000, a down payment for many investors across the US. He's what you'd call an “everyman”—he's worked in pest control, as a car salesman, and in a juvenile detention facility. In other words, he had no silver spoon. When a local investor in town told him, “You can do this,” he took the chance. Now, seven years later, he's got 20 rental units, left his full-time position at work, and is making a life-changing amount of rental income. These affordable, cash-flowing towns exist throughout the US, and like Dustin, you could use them to reach financial freedom!  In This Episode We Cover The uber-affordable small Midwest towns where rentals are less than $50,000 The perfect starter real estate investment Dustin used to scale fast  Why you must ask your bank for a line of credit if you're ready to invest more  Dustin's tips to save money on your next rental renovation (huge savings!)

In this podcast episode, we dive deep into why women often struggle with analysis paralysis in real estate investing. As female investors, we understand the psychological barriers that hold us back - from social conditioning to perfectionism and fear of making mistakes. We share practical strategies for overcoming these challenges, including creating a precise investment Buy Box, starting with low-risk properties, and tracking personal wins and lessons learned. We emphasize how critical community support is in transforming hesitation into confident action. Through our personal stories and experiences from successful female investors, we reveal that second-guessing is normal but shouldn't prevent wealth building. We encourage you to trust your own research, embrace imperfect first investments, and take bold steps in real estate. Our key message this week is simple: you don't need to be perfect to start investing. Whether it's a small duplex or a partnership investment, taking action is more important than waiting for the ideal moment. We've learned that surrounding yourself with supportive investors can dramatically shift your mindset and accelerate your investment journey. By understanding these barriers and implementing strategic tools, women can confidently build their real estate portfolios and create lasting financial success.  Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupGrab our free Buy Box TemplateMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

In this episode, host Joe Jensen sits down with Harry Arsene, co-founder and manager of Arsene Construction, a Seattle-based real estate development and construction company. Harry brings a wealth of technical expertise to his role, holding a BS in Mechanical Engineering and an MS in Product Development Engineering. Over the past 17 years, Harry and his team have built an impressive portfolio, ranging from luxury townhomes to multifamily residential buildings.

He dives deep into the complexities of ground-up development, explaining the entitlement process, funding strategies, and how to manage construction risks in a volatile market. Along the way, Harry reveals how their first deal—initially a flip that turned into a long-term rental due to market conditions—laid the foundation for a philosophy of flexibility and multiple exit strategies, a key lesson for any investor.

Thinking about buying your first rental property? In this episode, Kathy Fettke talks with new investor Genica Proctor, who shares the story of how she got started in real estate. You'll hear why she chose the Alabama market over San Antonio, why she decided on a turnkey rental property instead of a fixer-upper, and what made her choose to work with RealWealth. If you've been wondering how to take the first step toward building passive income with rental properties, Genica's experience offers practical lessons and inspiration for new and seasoned investors alike.

I've been looking forward to this conversation for a long time. Every time I used to search iTunes for real estate investing podcasts, one name always came up at the top: Dustin Heiner. Dustin has built a life that many of us dream of. He walked away from his job at just 37 years old and now calls himself “successfully unemployed.” He spends his days with his family, traveling, and teaching others how to create financial freedom with real estate.What I love about Dustin's story is how relatable it is. He didn't start with hundreds of doors or big apartment complexes. He started small, made mistakes, and learned how to do things the right way. Getting laid off was his turning point—it pushed him to build a portfolio that could provide real passive income. Now with over 30 properties, Dustin shows people how to buy the right rentals, build a business around them, and create consistent cash flow month after month.If you've ever wondered whether single-family rentals can actually free you from your job, this episode will encourage you. Dustin's story proves that when you buy right, manage right, and focus on cash flow, you can build wealth and freedom faster than you think.What's Inside:—The story of how Dustin's layoff pushed him into real estate full-time—Why cash flow beats appreciation every time—The right way to work with property managers and build a rental business—How Dustin's daughter bought her first rental at just 16 years old

As real estate investors, we've learned that strategic cosmetic upgrades can significantly increase our rental property income and attract quality tenants. We've discovered that focusing on kitchen and bathroom improvements provides the biggest bang for our buck. Our go-to strategies include updating backsplashes, installing modern faucets, and choosing durable vanities that look great and minimize maintenance headaches. We've found that water-efficient fixtures and timeless finishes not only attract better tenants but also reduce our long-term repair costs. Some of our favorite quick upgrades include:Adding floating shelves for extra storageCreating accent walls with strategic paint choicesInstalling bedroom ceiling fansUpgrading to luxury vinyl plank flooringReplacing outdated appliancesAdding in-unit laundry capabilitiesBy carefully analyzing local rental comps and investing in smart, targeted improvements, we've been able to command higher rents and keep our properties competitive. These upgrades aren't just about looking good - they're about creating value that puts more money in our pockets.

Alan Franks - The Deal That Changed My Life In this episode of The Deal That Changed My Life, we welcome back Alan Franks, Certified Financial Planner, author of Empower Money, and real estate investor based in Atlanta, Georgia. Alan shares the real estate deal that changed everything for him—a $235,000 starter home purchased in 2015 that became the springboard for building a portfolio of rental properties, Airbnbs, and duplexes. What started with a $10,000 loan from a life insurance policy turned into a wealth-building strategy that leveraged equity, rental income, and HELOCs to create long-term financial freedom. We dive into: How Alan used whole life insurance to fund his first real estate deal Turning one property into multiple rentals and Airbnbs The role of passive income (and why real estate isn't always truly passive) Using leverage and syndications to grow wealth How real estate fits into an overall financial plan Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, an aspiring real estate investor, or someone looking to expand your portfolio, Alan's story is a powerful example of how one deal can truly change your life.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Shane Albert. We discuss: Shane reflects on lessons learned from his previous 20-acre property remodel. Unexpected costs during renovations taught Shane to account for unknowns in future deals. Selling his rental properties led Shane to reassess his investment strategy and goals. Shane's wife, Marissa, discovered a new 25-acre property while casually browsing Zillow. The new property has river frontage and is close to home, making it an attractive option. Shane emphasizes the importance of having a knowledgeable real estate agent in land purchases. Walking properties can lead to excitement, but buyers must consider potential drawbacks. Shane values teaching his kids about hard work and responsibility through land ownership. The couple's investment strategy focuses on finding properties that make financial sense.

This episode could save you tens of thousands, if not millions, in the long run. We get the same questions all the time: Do I need an LLC for rental property investing? Should I start an LLC before buying my first rental? Where is the best state for a real estate LLC? We're not lawyers, so we can't advise on this, but we do know someone who can—Brian T. Bradley, nationally renowned asset protection lawyer. Brian has heard all the “legal advice” from social media—an LLC makes you anonymous, an LLC helps you pay no taxes, and an LLC will completely hide your assets. If you'd prefer to 1. Keep your assets yours and 2. Not spend years in federal prison, this is the episode to watch. Just following any of the above (extremely incorrect) advice could not only risk your rentals, but also put you behind bars.  In today's episode, Brian shares a masterclass on asset protection, from which legal entities you need (LLCs, trusts, partnerships), to the biggest myth about where to start an LLC, how much it costs to keep your asset protection strong, and whether you really should buy your first rental without an LLC. Don't know what an LLC even is? You better, and after this episode, you'll be a pro! In This Episode We Cover LLCs explained (limited liability companies) and how they protect your assets The biggest myth about LLCs that will cost many investors in the long run  When to upgrade from an LLC to an asset protection trust (you may already be there) How much an LLC costs to create, keep active, and where to start yours Offshore trusts that are virtually untouchable by US courts  Own rentals?
