BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast

Rental property investing is a great way to make cash flow, or so it seemed in the pre-2022 world. Interest rates are rising, home prices have skyrocketed, and rent can’t keep pace with this market. Brian Davila saw this in his portfolio and knew he needed to do something about it. Buying “traditional” rental properties wasn’t going to cut it, especially when the monthly cash flow was a measly few hundred dollars. How many houses would it take to grant him a life of financial freedom? To most people, Brian Davila looks spoiled for choice. He’s a young guy, doing forty or so flips per year, bringing in big active and passive income checks. If you think that Brian can’t relate to the average investor, you’re wrong. Brain immigrated to the United States at just six years old, dropped out of high school in the ninth grade, and had his first child at nineteen. He was working at Las Vegas day clubs making ten dollars an hour before he decided to become a real estate agent. After cold calling hundreds of sellers a week, Brian was able to grow his clientele and eventually become a top agent. The only problem? He had no time for his family. He made the switch to start flipping and buying long-term rentals but had to pivot once again to a different strategy that would make him more cash flow even as home prices rise. Brian knows what it takes to become very successful in real estate in a short amount of time, and if Brian can do it, anyone can. In This Episode We Cover: How to become a successful agent and why most people shouldn’t get their license Transitioning from trading your time for money to letting your money give you back time Brian’s biggest mistake when growing a fast-paced real estate investing business Flipping forty homes a year and how to get around permitting pain points Short-term rentals vs. long-term rentals and which will survive in 2022 Lowering your tax bill as a real estate investor and avoiding capital gains And So Much More!

Most new investors don’t know how to find private money for real estate. They think private money is only reserved for those with a Rolodex full of rich or well-off business people, investors, or relatives. Using this line of thinking, most real estate investors will simply buy a deal, save up for years, and do it again. If you want to get on the fast track to a respectable real estate portfolio—private money is the way to go. But you don’t have to take our word for it. Amy Mahjoory, private money expert, is back on part two of her financing and funding masterclass. Amy has grown her real estate portfolio quickly, thanks to private money. On just her second deal she was able to pay for a significant portion of the property using her private lender. Now, she urges investors, no matter their experience level, to do the same. This time, Amy walks through five strategies that any investor can use to connect with private money lenders today. These strategies are simple—so simple that...

Raising capital for real estate is at some point what every investor must do. When you’re buying your first rental property, you can easily use your cash savings or a conventional loan to close on the property. But, on your second, third, fourth, or one-hundredth deal, finding the money (or financing) to get the deal done may start to get a little difficult. So how do you come up with the money to buy more rental properties, house flips, or commercial real estate, WITHOUT asking your parents, grandma, or friends for cash? Amy Mahjoory has raised $20M from private money lenders, none of which are related to her (she makes sure of that). Think of Amy as a capital connector, getting to know as many existing, or potential, private money lenders as possible. We know what you’re thinking, “private money lending sounds complicated, don’t only big investors do that?” Think of a private money lender as anyone who has money, isn’t doing much with it, and wants to make more of it. These ...

Building a rental property empire isn’t easy. Whether you dream of owning five, ten, or two hundred rental units, there is a way to get there—you just need to know what it is. It took Sam Primm seven years to figure out the smartest way to invest in real estate, and now he’s here to share it with you! Sam, like many people, didn’t hate his nine-to-five job but knew that being on some else's schedule wasn’t bearable for the rest of his life. Sam partnered up flipping a few houses here, buying a few rental units there, and wholesaling for some extra cash. Three years into his real estate side business, Sam took the leap and went full-time into investing. Since then, he’s been able to buy over $20M in real estate, totaling his portfolio to a whopping $40M. This may seem unachievable to the average real estate investor, but Sam makes it clear that he isn’t special and is just a regular guy buying rentals. Through his real estate tenure, he’s been able to define exactly what the average investor needs to do to scale their real estate portfolio. His “SCALE” system isn’t complex, but it will help you double, triple, or quadruple the amount of real estate you own in a very short amount of time. Itching to go full-time into investing like Sam did? Tune into this episode, he’ll show you exactly how he did it. In This Episode We Cover: What to know BEFORE you quit your job to go full-time into real estate investing The “SCALE” system that allows you to grow your real estate portfolio faster The best way to meet private money lenders, investing experts, and future partners Getting your spouse on board the real estate investing train Why fear is the most important feeling for new real estate investors Using social media to grow your network so you can scale faster And So Much More!

Investing in apartment buildings may seem like a big jump to everyday real estate investors. Mom and pop landlords—used to buying single-family houses or duplexes—may see apartment buildings as far outside their reach. And this, for the most part, has been true over the past two years. With high competition, equally high prices, and syndication deals popping off every other second, regular investors haven’t been able to invest in large multifamily real estate—until now. Andrew Cushman and Matt Faircloth started as solo-investors like most of us. But, over the past decade, they’ve both grown large multifamily portfolios, and know exactly how hard it's been over the past two years. They’re finally starting to see some cracks in the institutional armor of multifamily, allowing small-time investors to get deals while everyone else is fleeing from high interest rates and an oncoming economic downturn. If you’ve been waiting to level up your investment portfolio, make big equity gains, and bring in massive passive income, then this is the episode for you. And, if you feel like you’re too new to invest, the BiggerPockets Multifamily Bootcamp, hosted by Matt Faircloth, will give you everything you need to go from onlooker to investor! In This Episode We Cover: Multifamily “tailwinds” that are making apartment investing easier in 2022 and 2023 The hidden opportunity of multifamily that most investors don’t pay attention to How creativity became crucial in the real estate industry and using it to score better deals Which multifamily properties are safe from an economic downturn and inflation The seven ways that you can mitigate multifamily risk when investing How to start building your multifamily strategy today so deals flow to you as competition thins And So Much More!

Cash flow is necessary when investing in rental properties. Cash flow grants you, the real estate investor, enough leeway to pay for your mortgage and taxes, and save up a healthy safety reserve for future renovations. For new real estate investors, cash flow is probably the single most important metric they look at, but it’s not always a great predictor of a good investment. If you want to truly build wealth, generate passive income, and retire early (or rich), start looking at the metrics David Greene is talking about. Welcome back to another episode of Seeing Greene. Our cash flow creator, expert agent, and investor with decades of experience, David Greene, is back to answer your most asked questions. In this episode, we’re touching on topics like when to focus less on work and focus more on real estate investing, why low cash flow isn’t always a bad thing, what happens when an appraisal misses the mark, creatively financing home renovations, and how much every investor should have in safety reserves. Want to ask David a question? If so, submit your question here so David can answer it on the next episode of Seeing Greene. Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can hop on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot! In This Episode We Cover: Why buying real estate in sprints is normal and when to lay off investing The many metrics outside of cash flow that point to a great rental property What to do when an appraisal comes back low and how to challenge an appraisal The different ways to finance a home renovation and which will pave the way for more passive income How much to keep in safety reserves if you’re buying your first rental property And So Much More!

Multifamily investing is a bit different than other types of residential real estate investing. When the economy begins to shift, and a recession is looming, multifamily real estate tends to drop in price. But, at the same time, more renters need a place to stay, or more importantly, an affordable place to stay, making multifamily apartments their go-to option. If apartment investing has ever interested you before, Jake Stenziano and Gino Barbaro make a strong argument why now may be the perfect time to get into the industry. If you’re feeling deja vu, don’t worry, Jake and Gino have been on the BiggerPockets Podcast multiple times before. Each time they come on they bring new lessons, new deals, and a lot more units under their belt. Only a decade or so ago, Jake and Gino were busting their humps working at jobs and businesses that didn’t fulfill them. It took them a year and a half to buy their first deal, and now, they’re sitting on $175M worth of multifamily. That’s quite a...

Everyone wonders how the rich avoid taxes. To most Americans, it seems like there is some big loophole that only the mega-wealthy know about, leaving average workers strapped with a large tax bill. Are the ultra-wealthy cheating the tax code, or are they onto something that everyday Americans simply don’t know about? Tom Wheelwright, author of Tax-Free Wealth and Rich Dad’s (Robert Kiyosaki) CPA is here to tell you how to take advantage of these big tax deductions that mystify small-time investors. If you’re already investing in real estate, you’ll know that the tax deductions can be plentiful. You get mortgage interest, depreciation, maintenance, and insurance write-offs. But, even bigger than those, are bonus depreciation and cost segregation, which aren’t complicated tax strategies and can help almost any investor reduce their tax bill significantly. So what can an average investor like you do to get started saving on taxes? Tom walks through the 2022 tax deductions that are decreasing this year, which to take advantage of immediately, how to find the right CPA for you, and which write-offs you may be missing. These tips could reduce your taxes by a significant amount, freeing up much more of your capital for future real estate deals! In This Episode We Cover: The disappearing tax deductions that every investor should take advantage of How the wealthy avoid taxes by buying real estate and getting into debt Renting vs. buying and which makes more sense in 2022 as affordability plummets Using cost segregation and bonus depreciation to wipe out your tax bill How to work with the government, instead of against it, to build wealth faster The best 2022 real estate tax strategies that small or large real estate investors can implement And So Much More!

Look up “how to retire early” online and you’ll see some common prescriptions. You’ll hear investors talk about rental properties and index funds more than other options. This is for good reason since even as real estate investors there are ways we can go beyond the scope of buying rentals to amplify our wealth and set ourselves up for early retirement. This is also the exact question that one of our guests asks on this episode of Seeing Greene. If you’ve ever wondered what you should do with your rental property profits after you’ve paid all your bills, whether or not to flip homes in 2022’s housing market, or simply how to get less nervous on the phone, then you’re in the right place.

To real estate investors and real estate investing enthusiasts, Brandon Turner is a household name. Not only has he written one of the most successful real estate investing books ever published (The Book on Rental Property Investing), but he also pioneered the real estate podcasting, social media, and blogging space. Funny to think that only a decade or so ago, this massively successful capital raiser, business founder, and CEO was painting rental properties, just trying to quit his soul-sucking job. So how did Brandon do this so quickly, and what’s going on in the brain (and under the beard) of one of the most successful real estate investors on the planet? Surprisingly, Brandon doesn’t have some secret formula, world-changing analogy, or crystal ball. He simply did what he said he would do—look for deals consistently, make offers whenever he could, and close so he could move on to the next. If this sounds familiar to your situation, but you’re struggling to find success, you may find that his system is a little bit different from yours. Brandon gives valuable insight into the “machine-building” he’s doing over at Open Door Capital, how he’s successfully growing his personal brand, and why real estate investing success should never be a surprise. If you’re a new listener to the show, it won’t be long before you realize why Brandon Turner was (and still is) one of the most beloved voices for building wealth. In This Episode We Cover: The four levels of entrepreneurialism and how to become the “architect” of your own life Building a personal brand and finding confidence when creating content The skills you need to grow a business and become the CEO The five-point “viral formula” Brandon has used to raise millions of dollars What it takes to be successful and how to create a machine that will find real estate deals for you And So Much More!
