One day I plan on coming to wealth con. You give so much advice, changed my life i closed on my first flip in March made almost $80k. Thanks Ryan

[@RyanPineda]

I love it! I’m excited to meet you at WealthCon!

[@DVMCellini]

23:30 - I sold a duplex recently, made 200k and put it in VOO which is now up 5% in 2 months. I'm enjoying that decision way more than trying to meet up with roofers for my $500/month cashflow.

Real estate cash flows just fine when it’s not over leveraged.

[@RyanPineda]

Hard to BRRRR at 80% LTV in major markets.

[@blackkemo1]

Exactly when you buy it right you can cashflow it!

[@JasonJFlippingLife]

​@@RyanPineda I agree with you regarding cash flow up front but there is more nuances to markets beyond major markets and Midwest markets.

[@eliot5220]

What a lot of beginners don’t understand about investing in real estate is that you don’t always go for trendy areas. If they are trendy you’re probably too late because greed will beat you. You invest in up and coming neighborhoods. You make the most money when you build something not when you jump on the bandwagon.

[@agentjacob4099]

For a piece of junk property, people in California are willing to pay close to $1 million. California is losing people and businesses, yet the cost of homes there hasn't decreased. Here, nothing makes sense.

[@ms_christinejones]

Yes, I completely agree! That's why, in August 2022, I paid 685k with a 4.375 interest rate to purchase my second property in San Diego. The property is currently worth $895k. I've already increased my ownership by over 30% in less than two years. There's no need for me to sell because I'm making over 90k in rental income from my two ADU studios, which pays my mortgage each month. Not to mention that I view my ridiculously low rate as a benefit.

[@agentjacob4099]

I'm sorry for first-time homebuyers who could never afford to buy one in the first place. I have no sympathy for first-time homebuyers who could afford it but decided to hold off because they believed the market was collapsing and was now priced out.

[@ms_christinejones]

I don't panic because I have an excellent professional analyst in *Leah* *Foster* *Alderman* who helps me adopt an investor mindset and only purchases properties with strong cash flows in desirable neighborhoods.

[@BaileyJames-zv2ddd]

Excellent reviews I saw for her online, but it doesn't mean we can't voice our dissatisfaction with the socioeconomic state of the city, state, or nation in which we reside.

[@ms_christinejones]

Even if property prices will probably drop in the future, given the current state of affairs, diversifying investments by switching from real estate to financial markets or gold is encouraged. With the present mortgage rates and the status of the economy, this is a prudent move, especially considering the stricter mortgage requirements. It is recommended that individuals who require guidance get advice from a qualified and impartial financial consultant.

[@joeatch2]

I love when people have never experienced a down market.... And they tell you not to worry about cash flow lol. You absolutely can buy positive cash flow properties. You just have to buy them when everyone else is freaking out and selling them and losing them because they bought the ones that don't cash flow.

[@JasonJFlippingLife]

Very good advice overall. I can't disagree with any of your points because they're borne out of experience.

[@geoffreyguist5000]

[@hhstyuihggfv]

Getting inspired by 'cash flow' songs, I purchased 27 units in the Midwest within three years, but now I'm hemorrhaging money every month, not even close to breaking even. Real estate isn't passive, and achieving positive cash flow takes five to ten years or even longer. Never leave your day job!!

[@aaronsinger4095]

Las vegas is unrealistic, cash flow is in the midwest and rural areas of america where you make 500-700$ cash flow WITH debt! And equity. Should do both but if you live in the high society areas like vegas and California then stick to flips

[@livinginoklahomacityofficial]

Where?? People come to me ALL the time expecting to find cash flowing deals in Oklahoma City. Sure, if you're knocking doors and under paying for properties, but those people have been getting harassed by wholesalers and "investors" to buy their houses DAILY for a decade AT LEAST. $500+ cash flow simply doesn't exist here, hell with the interest rates today you'd be lucky to get $100 cash flowing property. I honestly wish people like Ryan Pineda would stop fooling everyone into believing they're "investors".

[@JasonBay-RealEstateInvesting]

I live in the Bay Area of California and I get cash flowing deals.

[@livinginoklahomacityofficial]

@@JasonBay-RealEstateInvesting BRRR? Door knocking or cold calling? Not on MLS listed properties, correct?

[@RyanPineda]

This is exactly what I say in the video.

[@aaronsinger4095]

@livinginoklahomacityofficial people from different areas of the country are buying up houses in illinois,Michigan, indiana,ohio,Kentucky etc where you can find 1400sqft 3 bedroom homes for 30-100k distressed fix up then worth 300k stick a commercial loan on it under leverage and get huge cash flow. Bigger investors buying assets like mobile home parks. But exactly bigger pockets has made people believe everywhere has these deals TRUTH IS there a rare location based occurrence

[@blackkemo1]

How is cash flow a myth if you’re saying you can still get it?

You can’t get good cash flow in high priced markets.

[@eliot5220]

I never understood why people call themselves investors and buy single families to rent out. That’s a terrible model. Houses are not designed as rentals. You buy apartments for cash flow not houses. The reason why is because the cost per unit is too high. You guys buying houses to rent is a poor model because they just cost too much and they don’t serve the larger market.

[@Rshen11]

House for air bnb is okay.. but other then that.. apartments are way bettee

[@eliot5220]

@@Rshen11 Right. An expensive house is risky. Seeing that it cost about $250,000 or more. If the tenant doesn’t pay the rent for just one month that could be several thousand. You can buy a 2- or 3-flat for the same amount or less and have less risk.

[@creativefinanceplaybook]

NOPE! Cash Flow is King 👑 If you bought property between 2001- 2007, it took 15 years just to get back to that same value. Meanwhile cash flow stays constant 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@noneofyourbusiness853]

There is no cash flow if your financing… Financing cost will eat up any and all cash flow, not failing to mention taxes, insurance and repairs Those who are capable of buying their properties in cash, cash flow. The cash flow can be offset by depreciation, repairs, utilities management cost, etc.. The true value of real estate, is in the appreciation value and the equity… The higher the property appreciate, zero debt, Means liquidity will come in a leverage property, which you will pull out cash, tax-free. The rents will cover the mortgage, and you will have the cash tax free.

[@RyanPineda]

Agreed

It’s real if you own the property free and clear. I’m my market I can buy rentals for 50k all day long.

Ryan, I think you offer a wealth of information, but you’ve never lived through a downturn. You think taking risk, buying now and holding for 10 years will work? Bad timing. You started your journey when the market was in the tank. A moron could have had success. Maybe not your level of success, but easy to succeed over the last 12 years. Get ready for the next ride. Wholesaling should work well for you over the next 7 years.

Another one of these anti cash flow influencers . I’m so tired of this strawmanning . Because it’s called passive income and because we want to see a solid cash flow return after our first refinance that doesn’t mean we can’t also collect rent increases . It doesn’t mean we don’t do some work on the properties . It doesn’t mean we aren’t holding them for the long haul . That’s a false dichotomy. You all take the worst version of these concepts and parade around like that’s what cash flow investors are arguing . It

[@RyanPineda]

Did you watch the video? I said you can get cash flow in the long hauk

[@aaronmurphy8796]

@@RyanPineda I apologize for the hostile tone in my comment. i am very frustrated at this direction from the real estate influencers but I see you as a good decent guy and I dont want to convey disrespect. yes i watched the video and i feel that what i said still applies. Ill outline more clearly what I am saying. there is a persepctive currently ,most popularized by david greene, but very much embodied in your video- that planning to do deals and start making cash flow after stabilization wich one can live off of or use to invest more isnt a legit strategey. The idea posits that instead cash flow only comes after several years and many rent increases that help you grow into cash flow. and thats fine because you should keep a job(your direct quote was "keep your day job" or do an active income business in the meantime. I do not have an issue with you all liking that approach. what I find frustrating is that its presenetd like this is "the truth of it" when in fact there are many investors doing BRRR and making cash flow at the outset after the refinance. many of these people are doing it in post industrial cities like detroit baltimore etc . Its a type of investing that you all arent interested in but it is occuring and their are profits being made after the refi or somtimes even at the refi without waiting for 5+ years of rent increases. so to be clear when you respond saying "but i said you can get the cash flow later" I do not see that as responsive to my point. It is still part of the perspective that up front cash flow isnt a thing and its only by modeling rent growth and equity growth that you get deals to be good deals. Personally I think investing for equity growth in the longhaul is awesome and I do have aquired and plan to aquire some more assets that re good candidates for that . but high cash flow low appreciation area properties can create job freedom and have a host of other benifits. I like to have a mix.
