I’m almost 50 yrs old . I am an orthodontic assistant. There aren’t many assistants my age because it takes a toll on your body. I’m starting my real estate journey this year to help support leaving my job in the next few years. Thank you gentlemen for sharing the wealth oh information that will help shape my future
I wish I would have listened to this 4-5 years ago. 4-5 years ago when I was just getting started, every book (usually older book) I read was ALL about cash flow. These books had examples of buying houses for 30-90k.. which absolutely doesn't exist in my market. So being me, I always follow advice to a T and start looking for houses that meet these rules. I cant find anything that meets any of these rules for over a year! I finally made a move on my first duplex that "broke even" and costed about 350k to buy. now 4 years later my loan-pay-down is worth more than the cash flow I was looking for lol. and now im cash flowing $100-$200/mo on top of that. Crazy. This podcast is very important if you are a new investor starting out.
How much did you save before you got started and what was your annual income at the time? I want to purchase my first property but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger.
This is by far one of the best episodes. Brandon and David are on fire. I really, really, really loved this episode. I will watch this one multiple times.
Stage 1 , just graduated from college & looking for an entry level job to pay down student loans. Working everyday to get closer to financial independence
U need to start getting cash without a job, start trading or investing or selling on amazon or some personal job, that roll in profit. My parents taught me how to trade and that have seen me through school, even though they pay the bills, but I have made profits and have my personal savings that most people who have worked for more than 8years don’t have . So get a side hustle while you search for a job
Brandon,I love it! Gene Rivers of Keller Williams would say congrats on the way the world war 2 generation used to pay for their kids college (buy a house shortly after they are born and let your tenants pay for it). Let's bring back this age old practice and make it popular again. Looking forward to the documented journey!
Tons of value in this conversation - thanks guys! I specifically appreciate the info on how to study neighborhoods - this really brings clarity to the process of narrowing the search down.
I love that you pointed out that just because it meets the 1% rule doesn't mean its a good investment. I have friends that purchase strictly off the 1% rule and it kills me! Deals in my area are generally 1.4%+
Montgomery, AL has several things going on: --it's the state capital --it's a college town(AL State, Auburn U Montgomery, etc) --it's an historic city --there's an auto plant (Hyundai)
Do you guys ever buy a rental fix it up to raise the rents to market value, raising the buildings total price then sell it and do a 1031 exchange with the money made to buy a larger rental property and repeat?
I’m a Realtor in San Antonio, TX. My clients are losing offers every weekend. We are making offers 30-40K over asking price. The price point we are in is 550K-700K. Appreciation is still moving up. Even with out the cash deals the appraisals have definitely caught up.
I am so glad for you guys thank you so much for sharing all this information. And also with the encouragement. I am just starting out and I’m looking at deals and sometimes I do not even know if it’s a good deal or not. Sometimes I feel like I’m just stumbling around. I don’t surely I know that as long as I’m moving forward I am building on muscle that will eventually become wealth thanks again
31:31 4 steps in finding deals in new markets: 1. Find agent to get you deals. 2. Find property manager to advise you on the market. 3. Find contractor to get the place ready. 4. Find a lender to get financing.
Always happy to hear Brandon shout out Bangor Maine! In the middle of my second investment deal right in this city! Awesome show guys, as always :) #bangormaine #dadjokes
Mound dirt 3’ or so, put up a high fence, plant a thick row of pine trees. It will lessen the noise but not eliminate it. If interior of house is loud, insulate with Rockwool insulation on exterior walls and put in triple pane windows.
You are mistaken about Kansas, totally. I purchased a multifamily and 3 years later I refied it for 50% more than the purchase price. Now I did improve it some, but hardly a BRRRR.
I would advise flying in the first few deals to better understand the market place if you don’t already know it. You’ll be more comfortable trusting your team and your numbers.
Every 30 seconds there's another sales pitch for something Bigger Pockets is selling. It's like trying to drive to work but you're hitting a speed bump every twenty feet. I makes it impossible to enjoy any of these episodes... Hit us once at the beginning and then once again at the end and you'll get your sales pitch out there without bludgeoning us with it.
Why don’t you do a 30 year loan and cash out refi in 15 years and/or use a HELOC as a sweep account to rapidly pay down the principal to get tax free income to pay for their college AND still cash flow?
A market with high cashflow should lead towards appreciation as home prices are bid up to the point where the cashflow is the minimum acceptable, right?
Different tenants live in different markets. Just because you find a section 8 house cash flowing 50-100% year 1, doesn’t mean it’s worth it for investors to deal with that asset class.
Hey Brandon!! I live in Argentina and want to get into real estate. Here is clearly not a good place to find opportunities. What country would you recommend I should look into? At least to kickstart my investment career. The options I'm thinking about are Israel, Canada and Spain because I think it'd be easier to get my migration approved, and Germany or USA because I know the language and understand have a good economy. Am I off track? Thank you so much for all your wisdom!
Anyone here have tips for someone trying to buy their first home to live in with their family? I'm in Vancouver Canada but any general tips would be appreciated.
Marquist Price I was stuck in the same predicament , I was only making $30,000 a year and had to go through 6 different mortgage companies before one gave me a chance. I bought the cheapest house I could find in the most expensive county where I live and turned the whole basement into a separate unit plus rented both bedrooms upstairs and had no bills. Then that house doubled in value and sold it and made a couple hundred thousand dollars.
Hustle hard. Im at 80k a year after working for 3 years in IT. With current rentals Im at 100k. You just need to be flexible and have an urge to learn.
Save save save and get a side hustle next to your job. That’s how I do it. Takes me close to a year to save up enough for 1 house. I have 2 properties so far
How boring, the only thing I learned is there are more people than I thought who can talk and talk and talk without saying anything, especially anything of value
Kansas City??? Which one??? There is a Kansas City in two different state, Missouri, KCMO and Kansas, KCK. KCMO is mostly Jackson County, MO and is larger than KCK. However, one of the richest counties in the country, Johnson County, KS is adjacent to KCK.
Think , bigger pockets would get more subs , if your videos was under 30 mins … or under 20 mins .. peoples attention span , isn’t 1 hour or they just skip your channnel
Episodes 400,401 and 402 suck. I can't listen to them. We want to hear guests talking real estate investing for motivation. These clickbait 5 things/8 things/10 things are annoying and boring. Please stick to the model that got you here.
No. Just no. Not all content has to be relevent to every listener. They might not have been able to schedule someone for every single episode. That's fine. If you don't like it, don't listen. You're not the sole demographic. I found it to be very informative since I haven't listened in several months and the title was relevant to my situation.
@@jonrussell739 I understand that they may not be able to get a guest every week. But 3 episodes in a row of Brandon/David giving us 7 /9/10 tips of doing A,B,C? They're over doing it. To me it appears like a change in business model, and I thought they'd appreciate the feedback. If I am in the minority then all is good.

Always walking away with knowledge after listening. Great job guys, I’m in the mist of dipping my $50k and starting this journey.
How's it going? I hope you're doing well! I've saved $30k and want to grind for another year or so before I tip my toes in the water.
If you need a hard money lender down the road let me know I’d love to help you out
Grinding away listening to BP while putting LVP into rental #1. Always thinking about the next one.

This is so good and deep that it requires multiple listening to comprehend fully
the "start with the end in mind" bit is a gem. David always gives the best advice ever. Loved reading your book also !
This is by far one of the best episodes. Brandon and David are on fire. I really, really, really loved this episode. I will watch this one multiple times.
These guys have great knowledge worth 2nd watch with note taking.
Love all the information you guys are providing!!
Stage 1 , just graduated from college & looking for an entry level job to pay down student loans. Working everyday to get closer to financial independence
How is the entry level job market in your area?
Don’t look for a entry level job look for work that’s best suits you or better work for assets
Rowland Chris she’s okay but not all debt are negative debt. Some debts is actually paying you more than it’s causing you
How much loan babe?

I love this information!! I only have one rental but I want to grow. There is so much important information here!

Lol buying his 10 months old a property. Great property banking for college. I love this show
Finally someone talks about Illinois market for once
Took a lot of notes on this one 🔥💯
I love that you pointed out that just because it meets the 1% rule doesn't mean its a good investment. I have friends that purchase strictly off the 1% rule and it kills me! Deals in my area are generally 1.4%+
God damn, David is so freaking smart. He’s always dropping some GEMS at random moments.
Montgomery, AL has several things going on:
--it's the state capital
--it's a college town(AL State, Auburn U Montgomery, etc)
--it's an historic city
--there's an auto plant (Hyundai)
David has the best analogies.

“Target rich environment”..... yeaaa he was definitely in Law enforcement. Heard that a million times.
What I would like to know about is inspectors will the bank send out their own inspectors before giving out the loan and is that sufficient?
BRRRR🔥💪
Joliet,IL is complex. You’ll be doing lots of evictions on the East side.

Any solutions to fix Backyard Noise , House next to Freeway
Mound dirt 3’ or so, put up a high fence, plant a thick row of pine trees. It will lessen the noise but not eliminate it. If interior of house is loud, insulate with Rockwool insulation on exterior walls and put in triple pane windows.

Any solution for House backing Freeway Noise ?
Don’t have any Soundwall build by Highway Department yet
Don’t buy.
I love this show
@ 28:40 I can hear the franklin in the background
Good stuff.
Are military areas good to invest in multi family
I would advise flying in the first few deals to better understand the market place if you don’t already know it. You’ll be more comfortable trusting your team and your numbers.
please give 8 point list then discuss each one. cuz yes I'm overwhelmed.
It is funny they mentioned Kansas City so many times. I work in Kansas City.
What about buying multi-family and having to inherit legacy tenants?
I live in bangor, would love to hear more about it
Is Illinois worth looking into as a first investment? I'm in Ca
Every episode ever on he does talk about exercising We get it you wanna be a bodybuilder

Wow! "Have a job where you put away 5-10k a month..."
I don't even make half 5k a month at my job! How can I even hope to save up that kind of money?
Get a better paying job. Or find a way to make passive money like house hack.
@@stevenashwood1090 Very true. Buy a house. House hack it and leverage the income. Airbnb is a good start depending on the demand.
Marquist Price I was stuck in the same predicament , I was only making $30,000 a year and had to go through 6 different mortgage companies before one gave me a chance.

@41:35 Brandon is firing off statistics for a region. What is he reading off of? BP insights?
350k at 6%, and 450k at 2% are almost identical on monthly payments
Borrowers lose somewhere around 10% purchasing power for every 1% increase in interest rates.
Why are you hating so much on Cleveland 😂 I have properties there and it's great

Ummm, I beg to differ....auto workers were making a TON of money in Detroit. Idk why he thinks otherwise🤔
How much were they making? Is 50 or 100k a TON of money? No.
Good fundamentals here. (As a side note, here you'll see the difference between a groomed respectable beard vs. a haggardly beard. )
Can david keep some distance from the mic 🎙
