    961: Seeing Greene: How to Avoid High Down Payments and When to BRRRR vs. Buy New
    May 28 2024
    One of the biggest hurdles to rental property investing? High down payments. Most lenders want you to come to the table with twenty to thirty percent down, but with home prices averaging around $400,000, it might not be easy to come up with $80,000 to $120,000 on your next deal, especially with today’s high cost of living. So, how do you skirt the high down payment requirements while still locking up solid real estate deals? We’re showing you how in today’s Seeing Greene! First, a Hawaii investor struggles to scale his real estate portfolio with the state’s significant down payment requirements. David and Rob give him some creative ways to still get deals done. A median-income-earning new investor wants to know whether to buy a new construction home or BRRRR his way to wealth. Then, we debate whether a high down payment with cash flow beats a low down payment with negative cash flow. Looking for a better interest rate on your next deal? We’ll share the seller finance strategies you can use to buy off-market properties, plus whether or not you can buy two houses at once with the same preapproval. Want to ask David a question?

    960: No Cash Flow in Your Market? How to Invest Out-of-State Like a Pro w/Jessica and Shyd Coloma and Michael Gallagher
    May 27 2024
    Looking for monthly cash flow but live in an expensive real estate market? It sounds like you need to start buying rental property OUT of state. After realizing that real estate investing could be the wealth-builder they needed, Jessica and Shyd Coloma wanted to get in the game. But in pricey Southern California, finding passive-income generating rental properties was next to impossible. So, they began looking out of state. Thanks to BiggerPockets Agent Finder, they met Ohio-based agent Michael Gallagher, and now, just a couple of years later, they have a cash-flowing rental property portfolio! Michael was able to quickly show the couple which cities offered cash flow, appreciation, and a bit of both, as well as the parts of town that were seeing the most growth. They ended up buying a duplex for under $100,000, saw instant cash flow, and decided they needed more! In today’s show, they’ll walk through all the numbers of their first and second deals, how their rock star agent saved the day multiple times, and what you MUST look for in an out-of-state investing market.

  • 959: BiggerNews: 2024 Housing Market Update and Why Prices Are Still Rising

    959: BiggerNews: 2024 Housing Market Update and Why Prices Are Still Rising
    May 24 2024
    The 2024 housing market isn’t turning out how most of us thought. At the beginning of the year, real estate investors were hopeful that mortgage rates would fall, affordability would return, and home prices would have a chance to stabilize before going back up. But none of those things happened. Rates are still high, affordability is at a forty-year low, and home prices are slowly rising even with diminished demand. Why is this happening, and what’s causing these market moves? All that and more, with VP of Market Intelligence at BiggerPockets, Dave Meyer, in this BiggerNews episode. We’re giving you an entire wrap-up of the 2024 housing market (so far) on today’s episode as Dave goes through the data behind affordability, home prices, inventory, sales, and which real estate markets are faring the best. With more and more homeowners “locked in,” the US as a whole is still experiencing low housing inventory—HALF the amount of inventory from just a few years ago. This puts buyers in a tough spot. Should they buy now with limited choices and high rates or wait for mortgage rates to drop? And if they do decide to wait, what happens to rent prices? Dave answers it all plus shares the region-by-region differences affecting each corner of the US housing market. From high inventory in the Southeast to the often overlooked real estate regions with massive demand, we’ll get into where money is moving and which states you should be most concerned about investing in. All that, and much more, in this BiggerNews housing market update! Support today’s show sponsor, Rent App: the free and easy way to collect rent! In This Episode We Cover A 2024 housing market update and the data you should pay attention to most Why home prices continue to rise EVEN with low demand and record-low affordability Our ongoing affordability crisis and how mortgage rates are stunting home sales Why inventory is exploding in one specific region of the United States (and what it means for investors) Slow rent growth and the multifamily overbuilding problem that could affect many investors Exactly what Dave is investing in this year, plus the one big concern he has for future real estate deals And So Much More! (00:00) Intro (02:11) Affordability at 40-Year Low (06:13) Inventory is Rising (Good News) (08:41) Home Sales Are Up…Kind Of (10:48) Rent and Home Prices Increase (15:04) Hot and Cold Housing Markets (21:51) What Investors MUST Know (26:42) How to Track the Housing Market Check out more resources from this show on BiggerPockets.com and https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-959 Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

So much value!

I owe a lot to this podcast. I’ve been listening for years and I’ve applied countless things I’ve heard to my life and business.

The mindset that BiggerPockets has given me has brought so much value to my life, even beyond real estate.

very valuable information.

This is a great podcast. Many people don't know about self directed IRA or solo 401k. I opened one this year, I like that I'm in control of my money and I can invest where I want it.
