Guess where I'm getting the houses?*
      *The Option fee is always significantly more than the expenses of catching up the mortgage from foreclosure threat, touching up the property, providing the previous owner with some walking more, closing costs, etc. The family rents the house for more than the monthly mortgage and is allowed 2 years to buy the house by getting their own mortgage. After which if they still canNot buy the house they may remain as tenants until they can. Meanwhile I make the monthly spread.*
      *In the end, the original owner avoids getting dragged out by the hair by local law enforcement, they enjoy the dignity of leaving on their own terms, avoid foreclosure on their credit record and get a lump sum of cash to help them start over fresh somewhere else. Their mortgage remains in their name and they get credit for the payments we make on their behalf. While the new family get to move into the home they desire immediately and to lock in a sales price and have the chance to fix their credit and buy a home of their own. Obviously rent and the sales price can go up after the 2 year option period.*
      *Because these mortgages aren't very old the properties tend to be in better condition so little or no repairs are needed, the original owner is less attached emotionally to the property, and the interest rates are low. Because there is hardly ever any equity, I do not make much on the back end when the tenant buys the house. But I have had tenants finally buy the house after 4 years, 7 years and some times they just moved away. But most just remain tenants.*

      At 2:22 you say you don't know why anyone would do that so let me explain. While it is probably not the best sense or use of money, some people simply don't want to borrow period. It is essentially throwing money away, but you are also not on the hook for anything which is a great way to live your life. Assuming, you have the ability and resources to do that. Now I agree he should take the money and do that, but lets assume, a new plandemic hits and he's on the hook for 1 billion that he cant get out for a year, maybe he ends up losing ALOT more than 55 million... think about it.

    I am 72. When I was a home builder, mortgage rates were 18%. It really sucked. EVERYTHING was negative cash flow. I had to sell everything, one house at a time. My rich uncle built in the 1950's when everything cash flowed and banks automatically gave mortgages with no qualifying. Rich Uncle had 100 units and sold the mall in 1970, right before inflation. Wiped out in a bad divorce. Did it all over again in 1980's in Florida. I inherited one house when he died. That was good for me. Protect yourself. Thanks Ken.

Sometimes they break leases early and you end up with multiple months vacancy. I've had both happen.

    Dave Ramsey's advice is generally really sound and logical for people who have serious spending problems and behavioral risks, but for people who have actual financial sense and understanding, it can often be extremely counterproductive, like with the example of refusing ALL debt, regardless of how it could actually leverage your overall wealth in the right situation. He sort of provides the "training wheels" to financial freedom, but once you're ready to actually go somewhere financially, it's actually more of a hindrance than a help. I consider him more a financial "therapist" than a wealth advisor, but unfortunately people are obsessed with simple solutions to complex problems, and often suffer for it.

    1:45 It's because he's built his entire empire on telling people to not borrow money, which would make him a HUGE hypocrite if he had said yes. In addition, he's built everything he has thus far without debt and he doesn't necessarily want to make more money if it means destroying his brand and going against his core values in the process, he has enough money as it is, he doesn't need more anyway, especially at the cost of destroying his brand, being a hypocrite, and betraying his core values. That's a good enough reason in my book.

  • @jamespungello8361

    Ramsey's brand is "debt is slavery". It's how he makes money- by selling that talking point (and to be fair, most of his audience probably does need to avoid debt like the plague). So, when faced with a preposterous scenario ($1 Trillion at no interest) he knows he has nothing to gain by muddying his message to his followers- just say no to debt is the only message he will ever give.

  • @jamesofsandiego
    @jamesofsandiego 2 дні тому

    I agree Ken. I've something to add. As always it's local market specific. Here in San Diego payments to rent are too far below payments to buy to find stuff that cash flows. So you get people pitching the idea of buying anyways to move properties. Based on the hype that interest rates will soon go down which will lower payments and there will be a massive wave of buyers to push values up.

    Not big on advice from any social media source , but do like that Ken is picking apart these earnest but quick to speak/slow to listen young tik tok experts. Riding my bike as a grade school/teen/ and adult through Valley neighborhoods in a couple different decades was the best thing to teach me boom and bust in AZ. I have seen the same house near camelback mtn; occupied, lost by owners, empty and ransacked, then occupied again, then sold high...over the course of a couple decades. It's all work no matter how you slice it, rentals, sales, leases, etc.....and there are cycles, although this latest one has me perplexed.

    What dave is talking about with the rentals, is the entry level real estate investor who gets a mortgage on a house then rents it out.
    Things break, tenants dont pay, etc. Then you get politicians who give eviction moratoriums so now that investor who listened to one of these gurus is now sitting on a property with Zero rent coming in so they have to pay out of their own pocket. So they dip into their 401K to cover it. Then before you know it that investor gets foreclosed on and now has no retirement left.
    So Dave is right when he says they dont work that way.

  • @zadoksstudio8353

    Half of these gurus were in grade school during the GFC. All these youngsters are basing their entire Financial worldview based on an anomaly in history. The 60-year average mortgage rate is 7.7%, yet they think 3% is normal. Even worse, they're assuming a return to that rate. It's unlikely that we will ever see 3% rates again in this country

  • @NeedsMoreToys

    Pretty sure the Dave Ramsey quote was from 10 years ago when rates were near zero. Plus Dave is all about reducing debt which in my opinion is required to demonstrate you have have discipline. If you are disciplined and educated then you can begin more complex real estate investing using financing. I love Ken’s stuff and the non-nonsense approach.

    • @AlistairMaxwell77

    @fmmaj9noname332 2 місяці тому +1

    I've listened to Dave Ramsey for years, and that "renters are never going to pay the payments for you" quote was taken completely out of context. He is NOT saying that renters don't produce cash flow. He's saying if you go heavily into debt to buy real estate, you are at risk of either not getting enough occupancy to make the payments on that debt, or the renters might not make their payments. He's right about that. He's just saying don't get overleveraged to where you depend on perfect circumstances to not be financially ruined, because perfect circumstances never exist. His no-debt method may be onerous and draconian, but it has the lowest risk of any business model.

    • @jeffdavis8811
      @jeffdavis8811 Місяць тому

      Of course tenants don’t always pay rent. That is why smart investors always maintain reserves. As a commercial real estate broker- investor, i have experienced success by learning from my clients early in my career. The ones who couldn’t make it as a real estate investor are the ones who spent all the cash flow and never allowed for a vacancy factor. Always keep reserves for deferred maintenance and vacancies and you will be successful over the long term. I have never lost one penny by investing in real estate by using this basic principle.

    • @jeffdavis8811
      @jeffdavis8811 Місяць тому

      Also, Ramseys advice for no debt makes sense for consumers, but not real estate investors . Buying real estate with leverage is how most wealthy investors have built their portfolios. Plus, the cash return is almost always higher with leverage. I am buying a warehouse with cash that will give me a 10% return. After I close I will finance it and take out $200,000 to purchase another property. The return will then go to 32% based on the $200,000 investment left in the property. That is how you build wealth. It is a multi tenant property, so I will always have cash flow to cover payment.

    It’s similar to fitness. People don’t listen to the things that actually work but they’ll go out of their way to hear something that doesn’t work and pay money 💰 for it.
    It’s as if people want instant gratification and when they fail they blame everyone but themselves.

    In the case of my country, buying real estate is completely meaningless. Because anything that pays more than 5% annually in dollars generates more profit and is more liquid. The only exception is buying houses in poor condition and renovating them to sell them to other people. Renting is never ever a business, never ever. (Argentina).

    I see nothing wrong with a GEN z'ers buying their first home as a rental income property of 2-4 units with a 3.5% down FHA loan = as long as it cash flows positively! With a decent income and credit score above 550 = they should qualify "hands down", with the FHA underwriter applying 75% of the rental income from the other units to their stated income!
