6 Rental Properties in Just 15 Months (While Working 3 Jobs!)

[@tamarrabarnes8462]

What really shines in this episode is the solid marital relationship which appears to have significantly contributed to their success. What a blessing. What can you not accomplishment with two people co-laboring so well together? Kudos - thanks for sharing your journey!

[@altheakenton2947]

Very inspiring podcast however I was looking for more details how they fund the purchases. The refinance provided the initial DP, this transaction produces a debt payment on the primary residence. Just wanted clarity and maybe a blueprint on how the subsequent down payments were paid.

[@realestateinvestingtips]

Great interview. I really appreciate this interview. When I was in college I was actually too scared to take the leap of faith. It wasn't until I was in my mid 20's that I actually ended up buying my first rental property. Thank you for this. Very much appreciated.

[@Andradi303]

This sounds like me and my wife’s story so far. Super encouraging! Thanks for this episode!

I love the team work and trust that you have for one another. My husband and I have a similar story only in reverse. I was the one all in and doing all the research and educating myself etc. He was skeptical and risk averse. Through the amazing power of networking and mentorship, we are now on the same page and making some moves to scale. Exciting stuff!

Also, the fact that he is working two jobs (plus hers) to make this happen. They deserve that early retirement (speaking that beach life into existence for myself as well). Thank you!

A beautiful episode indeed. This couple seems to have enjoyed great luck in their environment besides the work they put in. Preparation indeed meets opportunity, My question for the couple and hosts is What kind of property would you recommend for an immigrant first-time investor? Multi-family or Single-family? Also, would you advise first-time investors to reside in their property so they enjoy the benefits of it being their primary residence?

[@Thejasonrogers]

29:00 if you live in Florida like me you’ll soon realize what the CON in contractor means 😂. I also had an identity crisis when I was first renovating my house. You don’t have to know how to fix anything to be a real estate investor. The key is how to be an amazing delegator. My friends sometime call me the cheap sub contractor 😅

[@kettymanno7256]

I was a bit disappointed with the content, I wished they have mentioned more about the deals. It would have been more informative. I usually do not say negative things but I was so excited that I was going to get a great lesson about real estate, however 48:45 it is nice to see such great relationship.

[@dayinthelifeofRE]

I agree. The producers did not want us focus on each deal. They wanted us to focus on our story. We talked more about our deals in the interviews. If you would like more information on our deals send me a message on IG.

[@dayinthelifeofRE]

What do you mean plenty of bread? It's a process to build up money. Life is about choices. I paid off my car, house and student loans, never making more then 15.75$ an hour. I work up to 88 hours a week, and many 16 hour days. We buy clothes at Walmart. We don't go to concerts and major sporting events. Our phones are 4 years old.

[@ericunder]

Where are these guys located that they are buying properties for under $100k?

[@NaureenKash]

Wow!! So inspirational. It’s EXACTLY what I needed to hear right now. Thank you for this episode. A few questions came to mind: How are you finding the deals? Agent? Wholesalers? Facebook? Is your exit strategy STR, MTR, or LTR?

[@dayinthelifeofRE]

First was off market from former realtor. The next 5 were from MLS. All 6 are LTR. I considered getting into MTR however would be an extra 15k or more furnishing the house.

[@NaureenKash]

@@dayinthelifeofRE would a furnished rental bring in more cash flow?

[@NaureenKash]

@@dayinthelifeofRE did you find the 5 off the MLS yourself or an agent did?

[@dayinthelifeofRE]

A furnished rental in the long-term would bring in more cash. That current property rents for $1,200 a month. If we were to fully furnished it we would have charged between 1800 and 2000. We had posted the property on a few different marketplace and did not get the best review so we decided to make it a LTR.

[@dayinthelifeofRE]

Yes I found all of my properties on apps such as realtor or Zillow. Those apps pull properties off-mls. The issue with only looking at my MLS, it will only generate properties listed on my MLS. There are more than 30 different mls in Michigan. Any property that's not directly on my MLS, I have to reach out to the listing agent and ask for a stat sheet.

If the husband is hiding and withholding informations from his wife, it’s too hard to trust him, eventually he’ll just push and push the other her away and she’ll eventually hide protecting herself too coz she can see this person is just hoarding for himself and doing things on his own. And it is selfish. I don’t get the point of them hiding from their spouse! Its just so perplexing. How do you get to enjoy doing business as husband and wife and not grow from each other if you are not one in just as simple as business. If there is no transparency and no trust its just hardship. If he’s just thinkingnof himself, she’ll eventually protect herself and build something on her own and if they have children the wife is just gonna prioritize their kids over the husband who is thinking of himself who is stingy and hoarding for himself. What happens to his wife and kids if suddenly something happens to him. The wife and mother of that household cannot just stand and watch that her kids is gonna have a hard time. She has to make sure her kids are taken cared and well of when them as their parents are gone.

[@DanielleMcclintic-pn8rn]

As the wife in this partnership, I am not sure what information you are referring too as being withheld. We are partners. We complete every descion together. This partnership is built on trust, which has led us to be successful.

That’s why you don’t have a good experience with contractors… Want to pay 20% to starting, not even pay the material… I’m contractor in Naples - FL, thanks god already have my name in town, so i no need to worry about new costumers with that kind mentality.

[@dillrealty9897]

Lets rewind...Did you say you put 25% down and that's how you purchased all your properties? 6 properties times $25k is $150,000?? WOW! that's a lot of money somebody ran into a life insurance policy or a settlement or something lol

[@dayinthelifeofRE]

The actual total is 113.5k+19k for closing cost + 3k in appraisal+ 2.5k in inspection. For a total of 138k. This is the number without any repairs. The first house 27k basically full remodel and windows, house 2, 3.5k for furnace, house 3, gutters little over 1k, house 4, we covered 4K of a 12K asbestos removal +3.7k furnace, house 5 none, house 6 2.2k in gutters for a total of 45.2k

[@cleopatrick6469]

I don’t like the way he blamed being raised by a single mom as the reason why he isn’t a handy man because I know so many handy men who where raised by single mothers and even more men who dont even know how to change a tire and where raised by both parents. Being handy is just something that either is in you or not and if not you have to practice it to become it.
