- Dave Ramsey got his real estate license at 18 years old, invested in Real Estate in his early 20’s, amassed a $4 million dollar portfolio with a net worth of about $1 million dollars by the age of 26…and then lost it all and filed for bankruptcy. Add me on Snapchat/Instagram: GPStephan

Here’s what you need to know. Dave Ramsey got his real estate license at the age of 18 and began investing in Real Estate in the early 1980’s…he’d buy foreclosures, fix them up, and sell them. So what do most investors do when they finance real estate flips? They take out SHORT TERM LOANS to save money.
Loose lending practices in the early 80’s made this an attractive option for quick flip real estate investors…buy a property, immediately fix it up, and flip it within 45-90 days. By the time the deal is done, the loan is paid off. This is how Dave made a substantial amount of money, rather quickly, in his 20’s - and much of his one-million net worth was speculated from high appraised real estate values.
But here’s where things went wrong…by the mid 1980’s, real estate values were artificially high, fueled by tax codes which made real estate a favorable method of tax avoidance. See, many wealthy investors chose to dump all of their money in real estate rather than other assets, which inflated values way beyond where they should be….that was, until, the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
This changed everything and real estate values came dropping down as demand for real estate dwindled. At that point, his largest lender was acquired by a bigger bank, who began looking more closely at Dave Ramsey’s loans and determined they were too risky for them to continue renewing these 90-day terms. The bank demanded that he pay off his loan within the 90 days that was originally agreed upon, with no further extensions to given.
He had invested in a market that was inflated by investors seeking tax deductions, on short term 90-day loans, expecting to flip the property for a profit.
This is the BIGGEST difference between Dave Ramsey is this: I take advantage of long term, 30-year fixed rate loans that don’t change. My interest rate doesn’t go up, banks can’t just call it due anytime they feel like it, and the price is the price no matter what happens. When the numbers work, doing this is very safe and as long as the property makes money, your worst case scenario is usually just breaking even and then having a paid off home in 30 years.
If Dave Ramsey had a 30-year fixed rate loan, as long as the properties cash flowed, he could’ve just held them…and if he held properties that he bought in the 1980’s, chances are he’d have a TON of money by now. Not only that, but if he took out 30-year loans, not only would he have very, very valuable real estate in 2018 - but they’d be ENTIRELY PAID OFF!

No wonder Ramsey is so anti-debt. Poor guy must be traumatized.
Yeah I can’t imagine what it’d be like to go through that!
Yes. I don't blame him at all for preaching what he preaches. If I went through what he did as young as he did I'd probably be that way too!
Scary Bankers got him....
We all learn from our mistakes.
Graham Stephan Bollocks ! I know lots of people that walked away in 2008 and the banks are handing them out loans again . Traumatized my ass
The best advice I’ve ever heard is listen to Dave Ramsey for getting out of debt. Once out of debt, don’t ever listen to him again.
🙌🏼
it's great for pre-debt (don't get into it to begin with) while in debt and how to get out of it because you didn't listen to begin with Also your average everyday person isn't trying to be a billionaire they want to be stable and comfortable and want to work and dave ramsey is great for that he's the anti-get rich quick scheme guy enjoy being broke like he was when running these scam's
Agreed.
This is correct. He gives good BASIC advice for getting out of debt. I'll tell you though that half the time I hear him give advice on the radio I cringe. If he were a licensed fiduciary, he'd be fined or lose or license all together. Much of his advice is extremely flawed. He takes advantage of consumer biases to sell a product - himself.
Rifter6 Out of curiosity, what advice does he give that sucks so bad? It’s obvious he recycles the same material, but he’s dealt with loans from experience.
Learning from other people's mistakes saves so much time, effort, and money.
I agree!
Didnnt you used to have videos?
Very true, learning from your own the first time also does wonders
And tears
@@keyshawnpaul9392 i just potentially saved myself years and tens/hundreds of thousands of dollars from a youtube video, sure real life experience is good too though, but not for the same reason
as a listener of both you and dave ramsey and i am glad you did this video. you did a good job of explaining the tax reform in his era and i thought your views were fair
Thank you so much!!
I second this!
But now he took is failure and turned it into a massive business
He definitely turned it around for the best!
His net worth is around $55M.. Imagine what it would be like if he used his platform to raise private money and leverage into real estate deals intelligently.
Nick McGowan maybe he’s ok with 55 million though. 🤷🏻♀️
And has helped a lot of traditional income families in America out from under the thumb of debt!!!

The way he invest he has TRUE cash flow! The way Graham invest (nearly every other mofo) is staggered debt. the banks own him, he owns the renters, the economic system owns the renters. The banks are the economic system, debt = slavery, just different levels of it. Ramsey is the only guy who doesn't have to worry about a recession!
bro im 24 and i just found this channel. I wish i had this knowledge back in high school. Sweet baby jesus.
Dave Ramseys advice, in my opinion focuses on people who have absolutely no clue on how to manage money, even so much as buying toilet paper. I don't get much investment advice from him.
Agreed.

When you think about someone's decision back then, you always need to consider the context. Your strategy is basically impossible under the context of 1980s when the interest rate was way-yyyy higher than what is is now.
I am not saying that he made smart decision by betting his life on the existence of a tax loophole. But at least you need to see the rationale behind his decision. It worked while it lasted. There is simply no best strategy in all time. The fact that you made a fortune on Real Estate does not mean that your strategy is any better than his by itself. It is only because this is the right thing to do at the right time due to the quantitative easing by the Fed.
I feel like half of what you said is absolutely true, however I think doing a 30 year loan back then still would have been a more sensible decision despite the interest rate,
Being higher, like you said it would have been applicable to that time period and he probably might have not gone as crazy as he did with the mortgage after mortgage. People still had 30 year loans despite the interate rates of that era.
I learned real estate investing from watching my parents go through these same exact growing pains in the 80's.
In Ramsey’s defence, 30 year fixed rate loans in the 1980s were so expensive there was no cashflow. It made no sense to fix in at those interest rates :P unless for appreciation, short term.
How do you cashflow at 19% interest rates? Your mortgage payment was double or triple your rents. There was no cashflow. That’s why people sold apartment buildings for 1$ in many situations in the late 1980s. Many real estate deals were liabilities and cashflow negative, so the goal was to GIVE them away.
I was just thinking the same thing, interest rates where a LOT higher in the 80's. Although a 90-day loan still doesn't sound like the best idea even at that time.
Also, Dave would have to be an oracle to know the tax reform act of 1986 was going to screw him as much as it did.
@@reptilesgamers00 Well you don't have to be an oracle to know that asset which price is highly speculative is going to go down sooner or later. Bitcoin, 2008 real estate, and sooner or later chinese real estate. He simply played high risk - high reward game for too long.
@Adam Wade No Adam, I don't speak with arrogance he took a lot of short term loans for house flipping where number of things that can go wrong are very high. His strategy allowed him to become rich at very early age and he filled for bankruptcy when things went wrong. And yeah obviously you cannot predict a market crash, but at certain cases you can expect it to happen or atleast understand the risks. Bitcoin is far from it's peak, a lot of people where screwed during 2008 and it took a long time for market to recover. What I'm saying is not that he suppose to be an oracle I'm saying that he picked a risky strategy and payed for it.
Odd how similar this sounds the 80's yet Gram can't seem to envision how this could happen to him. I live in Denver average home price is 540k yet the median income is 70k. Something has got to give and seriously doubt it will be employers deciding to pay more. The demographics are not very good for RE babyboomer are retiring and dying not enough population to back fill the homes.

So happy you made this video because I have listened to his podcast many times and I just couldn't understand how that happened to him. It makes perfect sense now. You're great at explaining everything!
By the way this is also the reason why there are so many malls build in 1980s
I didn't know that, makes sense!
Dave Ramsey is one rich dude!! He did learn from his mistakes and he makes a fortune helping others get control of their finances. I did his program and it worked! I've been debt free for almost 15 years. It is wonderful!
The goal of this channel is the opposite of being debt free

Is your only goal to be debt free?

@@thelurkingpanda3605 not entirely, a lot of this channel is about being frugal and smart with the money you do have, which matches up with Dave Ramsey's ideals very well
Great stuff, Graham. Thank you so much for this!!
Hey Graham! Thank you for making this video! great insight.
What you explained, Dave himself is saying all the time since ever.
He lost it all because of stupid, dumb decisions.
Nothing is exposed here. The guy is an open book about this subject.
My thought's exactly!
Yes, Dave admits to making mistakes with zeros on them, but I never understood how the banks called his loans due. I had never seen a loan structured that way. So I was enlightened in this video of types of loans Dave was using, as I was previously unaware.
wayne miller a lot of commercial loans can be called at any time
Lol explaining Dave Ramsay's already told story and making $$$ got to hand it to him.
This video was made so graham could explain to people that he isn’t at the same risk as Dave was when he was young
Perfect Timing with the Ad Placements🤓
I appreciate you put a summary of what you talk about in the video description. Liked!
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
Dave Ramsay wanted to get rich extremely quickly, failed and now advocates for the slowest way to get rich.
It is not about slowest way to get rich, but about how to avoid common practices that keep people poor
Debt keeps poor people poor. Payday loans are scum of the earth.
says a broke person, in all likelyhood.
@@justinbratton1235 No, my diamond balls have made me extremely rich. I put insane amounts of money into profitable Amazon calls, Tesla calls, and now GME calls. Balls = money. It's simple. You wanna be poor, follow Dave Ramsey.

I've been bing watching Dave Ramsey videos and it's so nice seeing the other side of the coin.

He’s not that much different than Dave. They both talk about budgeting and paying off debt.

I love watching both Dave Ramsey Graham Stephan Meet Kevin and Gary Vee. We need financial education in school. I only learned this from UA-cam.
first channel i've EVER HIT THE BELL in my long wise life
This opened my eyes so much.. thank you!!
I have been using Ramsey’s principles for about a decade now, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I will say in Dave Ramsey’s defense, he has a net worth of over $200 Million bucks and has 3 million sq ft of real estate paid for now. That’s why he doesn’t care what people think about him
Dave Ramsey's advice isnt terrible. But he gives cafeteria financial advice. Everyone has different situations and are in different phases of their life. This is why you need to strategize according to your situation. Dave's advice is for the financially illiterate. His advice totally works and is certainly better than being an idiot about finances. But his advice is provably not the best. Dave's advice is better for older people or people that have absolutely no self control.
There’s better strategies that will get you better results and keep out of debt and having passive income. Please Dave go away! Use your own head and think things through. I cannot tell you how much money I would of lost listening to that miserable guy.
He’s making most of his money off of guys like you buying his books and seminars. Hello??
Nick Behrooz Everything is not for everybody. What may have worked for you may not work for someone else. People have different situations going on from marriage, kids, age, income, debt and family situations. His advice is really not cookie cutter for everyone.
I don’t completely disagree with his methods but they are not completely for me because I can easily cut out most of the 7 Baby Steps. Plus my financial situation is completely different from a lot of other people. My mindset is also completely different than most people, especially women.
Dave's networth is $55 million, don't make up fake numbers.
Berkeclor92 you got that net worth off google man. That’s 10 years old. Check with Forbes and do your research through Stanford financials market watch
So, Dave Ramsey was thinking short term not long term. It has really nothing to do with real estate.
Very little
I love that you made this video! Thank you Graham
Thanks so much for watching!
Dang algorithm, but great videos! Thank you for being a part of the best educational system out there! Learning so much!
Hahaha this guy is completely leaving out that Dave Ramsey was dealing with 30 year interest rates greater than 12 percent. There is no cash flow at that rate. 🙄
*I really can't have it that people would go outside and say things like "THROW AWAY YOUR CREDIT CARDS" when the reason they feel this way is because they never managed to work with it. Debt has been making me money since I was 18 years old and it doesn't look like it's going to stop now.*

Thanks!!
You over simplified he should have just gotten 30 yr fixed. Interest rates were 10-16% during those years. The other is a Dave Ramsey thing..in order to have cash flow you have to have a renter...that is not always the case so how do you pay a second mortgage with no flow and cover repairs if you only cover mortgage with rent? Real questions, real risk. May not be a loan call, but still risk.
Back in the days, interest rates were quite high, I confirm. My parents had to pay so much interests for the house they bought in the 70's. On the other hand, if you had lot of cash you could just leave it on a savings account and get a nice interest rate (now you got something like 0.1%). In the mid 60's, you could even loan money to the government and get interest incomes higher than 10% (yes, sounds crazy). Different times.
Tigrou7777, yup. My parents were terrified of debt as they lived through the Great Depression and WWII. But the loved the high interest rates of the ‘80s because they literally saved 1/3 of their income and regular bank CDs were paying something like 15% interest - totally risk-free.
@@wallihaley5194 Someone reincarnate Paul Volcker please!
Protip: recessions favor landlords, less people have properties forcing more into the rental market. This happened here in Miami and rents went way up.
Agreed! In LA, rentals did really well from 2009-2013!
Yes and some parts of Dade County still way up
Rents in LA were way cheaper than buying (2002-2007). And at the time everyone was screaming to buy real estate.
markets vary. my market right now has a rental glut. it seems like anyone and everyone with a $100K income has rental properties. we are barely breaking even on our twinhomes. we had a hot market that eventually got over built. i would welcome a mild recession just to slow down real estate investing.

Nice breakdown on what Dave meant when he said they called his notes. 😭🤣😂
🙌🏼
I have watched a lot of your videos, and find them to be very informative. This video however compares Apples to oranges, and misses the point of Dave Ramsey's message. Dave Ramsey preaches no debt because of people's tendencie to not factor in risk when they take on debt. I live in a sand state, and had several properties with 30 year fixed mortgages before the crash. I barely made it out unscathed. I know several people in my same position who were not so lucky. I hate to use anecdotal evidence to support an argument. That being said, I think your advice here is irresponsible. I get where you are coming from, but you make it seem like a fixed rate 30 year mortgage makes you bulletproof.
Whew! A comment with sense and experience to back it up.
I mean....that was the worst financial collapse since the great depression. There weren't many unscathed people in general, not just people with investments in real estate. If most people lived like as if the next 2008-2009 recession was right around the corner, nobody would invest anything and the economy would be beyond stagnant.
@@hzuiel And yet here we are with another recession right around the corner.
@@ThemindofOZIII ...And some people are getting wealthier.
Keep enough cash on hand to buy during dips. Try to invest in sound ventures.
@@RKmndo, my comment was in response to the one above. All my investments are jumping because I bought more during the dips. In fact, all my stuff is all back in the 11-12% range for the most part due to the buying heavy in the dip.
This video is as fantastic, some great content you have given me here🙏🏾
Graham you are really inspiring... I appreciate your contents
I like dave Ramsey but I swear he preaches complete opposite advice as you . He’s completely agains credit cards and you think credit cards are good when used properly . I agree with you !
His advice is good for people who have no financial self control. Much like a drug addiction where the person needs to abstain from EVERYTHING related to that, finance could be similar. Although for anyone with decent self control, you can skyrocket your income by taking on good debt, growing your credit score, etc.
Graham Stephan good point
Dave Ramsey is good at making tens of million of dollars selling books and courses to lower lower-middle class individuals. His advice is poor for wealth building (except HIS wealth)
How does one get rich from credit cards? I've never heard of anyone
@wnc817 Salary and downpayment are the biggest factors to getting a mortgage. Banks use a stress test to determine ability of a person to pay the mortgage if interest rates go up. Having 11 credit cards will not influence that stress test. They're just cards.
Real estate and lending in the 80's, sounds like the stock market in the 20's (borrow cheap money for 90 days, bank recalled loans, sucked the market dry, and wiped out those who engaged in risky lending to gamble on wall street).
Great video as always, Graham!
Thanks!!
Fantastic video. Great insight.
Thanks!
The price you pay is nothing compared to the terms you agreed or negotiated on. A fixed interest rate that guarantees a positive cash flow forever is the goal every Real Estate investor should aim for.
I totally agree!!
that sounds like an NFL contract
Omg Graham...I thought I was a pretty knowledgeable individual but I have SO SO much to learn still being a newer Real Estate Agent (3months)!!🤦♀️ That’s what I just realized!

Thank you great advice
Similar situation happened to my dad. From having a lot, the family ended having nothing. Nothing!
Around 2005, I sat through a Northpoint Investment seminar, they were recommending five year hold, buy properties with neg am loans. Worst advice ever, thankfully I never did this but I knew a neighbor that made a $100,000 investing in AZ real estate, and then bought five more houses and went broke. I did buy a lot in San Felipe, MX with a friend for $50,000 or so that is absolutely worthless. Be careful with doing long distance real estate, it's hard to know what's going on and there's not always a good secondary market to sell when you need to.
Hey Graham,
Was wondering how banks will continue to approve on loans when you get to house #2 and beyond. My understanding is that your credit goes down as your debt increases. A curiosity I’ve have and would appreciate if you can talk about it! Thanks!
normally they look at a rental house for 2 years as a liability. after 2 years of positive cash flow they will then view it as an asset and count it TOWARDS your income. then you move on to the next house. if you buy a house that was already a rental, they will normally count that history towards the 2 years.
It will depend on your income to debt ratio. The banks will use this to determine your risk. If ~50% of your income is going to paying off the minimums of debt (total monthly payments) you would likely be declined for another loan. So your eligibility will be dependent on if you have any other outstanding debt like credit cards / car / school loans and how much your first home is returning to increase your income after 2 years the banks no longer see it as a liability but as income generating if it is cash flowing or other ways you can artificially increase your income or increase your taxation for that year.
I am huge Dave fan, and always will be, but I appreciate you clarifying this part of his story. I really would like to start investing in real estate once I am done paying off debt. My monthly payments are choking any potential to save for investment right now. Could you make more videos on getting started as a real estate agent? I would like to get my license and get started in this field. Thank you so much! Keep crushing it Graham!! 🙌

Listen to people who sell them get rich quick gimmick or listen to someone who's actually telling them what they're doing wrong.
Andy Fam you are correct, he’s doing good for those who have no control over their finances and spending. Dave would be very good for my husband because he’s irresponsible with money. He wouldn’t benefit me because I know exactly what I’m doing. I know how to micromanage my money. I’m also very familiar with the Debt Snowball Method.
He’s not bashing him, he’s actually explaining what happened to him and why he is the way he is about money. Dave’s way is not the only way to handle money. Plus people have different situations. I’m not one to tell women they don’t have to work and have their husbands out their slaving away working 2-3 jobs. I believe if someone creates their own debt they need to man up or woman up & handle their business. Why put the financial burden on other people? There are just so many ways nowadays to make money at home.
my only problem with Ramsey is he paints a broad stroke to make everyone's situations the same. His main audience is people who are in dire financial straits. The rest of us who are in debt, but not in serious trouble who just want some pointers here and there, and take some of his ideas and change them a little to suit our own situations, we get chewed out by him and his followers for not following his plan to the T. Sorry, I'm going to take 2-3 years to pay off $34k of debt rather than live like a pauper and make unnecessary lifestyle changes just to pay it off 1 year sooner.
@@drunclecookie216 im dave ish. i have zero consumer debt, none, but i love my american airlines credit card that i pay off each month. what kind of debt to income ratio would you say qualifies someone as being in "serious trouble"? what would make someone normal and what would make someone a candidate for daves plan?
@@nocoolname32 for serious trouble I'd say someone who's living paycheck to paycheck with nothing in savings and more debt than their yearly household income or net worth. "normal" would be someone who has a 3 to 6 month emergency fund with a little debt but nothing that outweighs their networth or yearly household income. I have two credit cards myself and pay them off every month. they are used primarily for gas and groceries and a few bills or if we need to order anything online or get a hotel somewhere. my only debt is $17k on my house and I have a little over 4 months saved up
@@drunclecookie216 I would say that you don't have anything to learn from Dave then. Dave is for people who are deep in debt, don't know how to manage their money, and have no financial goals. Once you get there (which is where I am because I have the discipline now), you have to look to other people for investing advice.
I’ve always wondered the details of how Dave got burned. This video gives me much more confidence in my game plan going forward.
great informative video!!! Slow and Steady wins the race!!!
Agreed!!
The real reason for the due on sale clause is that banks used to keep their mortgage loans on their books before securitization happened. Banks practice borrow short and lend long. This is where banks borrow funds from depositors for 1-5 years but lend that money out for 30 years. When the Interest rates for savings is low and you can lend the money out at a higher rate everything works. In the 1980 to 1990 the savings interest rate went as high as 16% but the banks had already loaned out their depositors money for 30 years at around 6% interest. Each month the Savings and Loans we're losing money. Nobody wanted to borrow money to buy real estate at 18% or higher so home sellers would let buyers pay them for their equity and take over the payments on the mortgages. Banks didn't want these low interest loans to remain and wanted them paid off whenever a house was sold or transferred.
Today mortgages are securitized and sold off to pension funds, hedge funds, insurance companies that want to hold the debt for a long time.
House flippers remind me of those day traders sometimes. I do think they provide great value for buyers though, especially in what were formerly depressed areas!

If they do quality work versus painting over black mold and other B.S. Most just throw up paint on cabinets and walls and sucker in first time buyers.
Thanks for this video. I've heard Dave Ramsey's story a bunch of times but never understood how and why the bank "called his notes" now I completely understand! Thanks for breaking everything down for us!
Thanks for watching!
Great content as usual Graham.
Thanks!!
Due on Sale makes no sense. Why should i not be allowed to sell my mortgage to who i want. They sell my mortgage all the time.
Because that prevents someone unqualified from taking over your mortgage.
@@GrahamStephan Not necessarily true. What if my daughter has good credit and she wants to take over my mortgage a simple credit check should suffice
@@GrahamStephan Or i want to sell my house for more money and let the investor take over the payments. I don't see how that is legal that i cant let anyone take over the payments. You can do it with a car!
With most banks you can put the house into a trust then have the buyer be the beneficiary of the trust and make the payments for you. The loan and ownership would have to stay in your name though. It is a real estate strategy some people employ.
(Location location location) Realestate is very very risky business, especially rental properties. You can get lucky and actually make money, most people barely break even if that, unless they bought during the 08 crash. As soon as the HVAC system goes down, or you need to put a new roof on the place, you have likely lost 8-15 months rent. Never mind any other repairs that would be required. People have been jumping out of the residential rental game in my area in droves. Doesn't matter if your house is "worth" 500,000 if the market will only bear 400,000 for it.
All of those items need to be factored in your return. You should factor in a set monthly expense set aside for repairs, and use that to calculate your return.
I’m happy you posted this. I try to read up on different Personal Finance and investing strategies, that’s how I found Dave and recently you. Dave is open about his past. I was always curious about if you or other Real estate guys were concerned about getting screwed over like he did. Thanks for the explanation.
You got it!!
Thank you for breaking down that story
