How to Invest in Multifamily Real Estate on a Middle-Class Salary

[@ED-ym1gm]

Let’s talk more about current market. These are people who bought pre pandemic

[@TheFlamingDoc]

Yoder's journey is a testament to the possibilities within the real estate market, even for middle-income earners. His story underscores the significance of strategic planning, measured risk-taking, mentorship, and living below one's means as key elements leading to real estate success.

[@kchariese2025]

Very helpful tips. My take aways 1. Networking 2. Get started 3. On your own, build your track record.

[@jasonjosephlee]

Real estate investing, takes a lot of sacrifice but once you get going it becomes easier by the day. Love this video.

[@Unboxedonyt]

Need more current stories of people trying to swim with the sharks now in 2023.

[@sabrinas8965]

Right real estate prices are insane

[@leeyoder1982]

2023 is definitely a different market. I'm being very conservative right now.

[@bhagatved]

I don’t even want the “invested and here and put in the work and got amazing returns” I want the specifics of what people are doing now…I’m valuing reality > positive wealth stories

[@luneeve]

Swimming right now! Multifamily is the only way in my opinion cause you’re providing a service/product while having a roof over your head. Honestly one is a enough!

[@mam09d]

How can you do 2023 market without time for maturation …

[@bigboymeteo]

Always great to see fellow local Cincinnati, Ohio investors on the podcast. Gives me hope that I too can reach the level that these guys have!

[@leeyoder1982]

You can reach this level! You just have to stick with it long enough!

[@juliancate7089]

Frugality and the ability to delay gratification are the two most important predictors of future success.

[@thecrshelton21]

I enjoy watching these types of videos. However, I currently own a duplex rental that is doing well. I am just incredibly stuck on building the capital to acquire the next set of doors. Its like I'm spinning my tires trying to gain traction quicker.

Went from paycheck to paycheck to financially free in just over a year thanks to multi family investing and some good timing.

[@threefoldrealestate2592]

Wow, that's awesome, Aaron! Congrats!

[@susanwaweru2734]

I am hungry for that

[@Stoneface_]

How did you buy your first multifamily property?

[@mbailey461]

How did you get the capital for the purchases?

[@aarongillette4420]

@Baller390 I found the ugly duckling not top far from my house and made an offer. My credit union had a 15% down option, so closing was less then 18k altogether to bring to the table.

What’s the RIA? Mentioned at 37:52 minute mark

[@threefoldrealestate2592]

[@jfaycomedy]

I own a condo and have been trying to figure out whether to sell my condo and use the proceeds as a down payment on a multi family or should I just use the equity in my condo for the down payment for an investment property?

Great video! Lee Yoder's story is truly inspiring. It's amazing to see how he took a risk and made a huge career change to pursue his passion for real estate. I love how he emphasizes the importance of networking and using online resources like Loopnet to find great investment opportunities. It just goes to show that with hard work and dedication, anyone can achieve their financial goals. Thanks for sharing Lee's story and providing valuable insights for aspiring real estate investors. Keep up the great content!

Enjoying this so far

[@The-Sentinel]

id love to see more podcast episodes on starting with smaller multifamily like 4 plexes. This is how i would like to start but finding the capital for a 2-3m 4 plex investment in california is extremely difficult.

[@Nancys_minion221]

I’m in the same boat. Trying to find a 4 plex in Orange County

[@KiraBKADestroyerOfWorlds]

Idk how anybody gets started in California. It definitely seems like that's more of a transition area rather than a getting started region.

[@itsjohnanthony]

I’m looking to start with a 4plex myself. I’m in New York the houses is extremely expensive

[@domaindefense]

Are ya'll looking at other areas? That might be a bit easier (cheaper of course).

[@jumpingthroughhoops9737]

I heard Fresno, CA has surfing an hour from the city and skiing an hour in the other direction

[@chasehunt4004]

Is it taboo to ask specifics on the numbers? I feel like every video is “how did you come up with the money?” “Oh, me and a family friend went half and bought the 6unit, then the 8, and then the 16.” I wish these responses would get pressed into more. For example, okay.. but how did you do that. Did you and a buddy each have 200k to throw at a unit? Did you both finance a unit with 40k each? If so, what was the mortgage payment on that a month? How much was the unit. How much was it worth after renovations?? Etc…

[@BradOffers]

Why is it that deals go to die on Loopnet? Just curios why this was mentioned.

[@virginiarowe4204]

Hi I’m going through a divorce and I’m going to refinance my home soon. I have about $350,000. In equity and although it needs repairs I plan on refinancing to get my husband off the loan and cash out some. Who would you recommend getting the refi, I have the mortgage with Wells Fargo and the HELOC with USAA. I was thinking of USAA or do you recommend some other place?

[@j_gray8642]

USAA is the best you can get

2023= I live in California. I saw multi family homes for sale around my area. A duplex is 600k and is currently being rented. But rent is a little over 1k. I mean, if I will buy it for 600 k plus 7% interest rate, thats 4-5k a month mortgage, and the rent is undermarket, how do I get cashflow from it? 😢 NEED ANSWER

[@mowthpeece1]

You raise the rent and squeeze the breath out of your tenants, like everyone else is doing.

[@searchingfortruth619]

Live in one, and raise rent on the other

[@verasemedo5741]

I’m from Luxembourg would be great to have someone talking about how to get in to real estate as some terms are not allowed here 😢

[@lillianthomas9861]

17:00-- I think it depends on your definition of "passive". It means different things to different people at different times. To me it means I don't have a T4 slip (gov removing taxes from my gross earnings) Instead, I settle up with them at tax time. "passive" is kind of a misnomer. Just like salvation: Is it FREE or not? It's free to us, but it cost God everything, so no, it's not free to Him.

[@yerzhan7475]

What kind of auction he uses?

[@restassuredworship]

I almost wonder if because investors are more cash heavy sort of "waiting for the ball to drop" that this "crash" really isn't coming - that more or less there might be some dip in prices, but then things just keep on moving upward, until the real crash (if it happens) which may yet be 3-5 years out... just some thoughts.

[@TJ-th9hw]

How did he buy the first one, that he purchased from the online auction?

[@leeyoder1982]

I used a HELOC (home equity line of credit) on my personal residence and cash I had saved up.

[@dru6179]

what is home equity line of credit

[@leeyoder1982]

If you owe $100,000 on your home, but it's worth $300,000, the bank will give you a line of credit that you can spend like a credit card.

[@excelcsllc]

Question for you gentlemen? I bought a rental property in 2020 Florida for 340k at 3% rate. I have invested about 50k so far. Tenant is offering 500k. Should I sell or keep?

[@RealtorDeeCloses]

It depends on your goals. Long term? Income portfolio? Whatever it is, That number is hard to ignore in that short amount of time. Over 30% in 3 years! I’m in Florida, and it depends on where you are, but the market has increased and pretty steady. Whatever you decide, good luck. 💯

[@KelvinJuniorOfficial]

Would you have to pay taxes after selling it to the tenant at the end of the year ?

[@excelcsllc]

@@KelvinJuniorOfficial most likely.

[@excelcsllc]

@@RealtorDeeClosesthanks for the advice, it’s a tough decision to make in today’s market environment. If the rates were at 3 % then I would definitely dump it on a larger property. And if I don’t purchase something I’ll be hit with a tax that will take away the gains. House is in Daytona Beach shores. It comes with a 800 sf detached cottage.

[@romi929]

I would not sell!! That’s a gold mine and your buyer knows it!!

[@Jen_Tam]

Thank you so much for this video. Really good information. I also love the David and Andrew combination. Would love to see more of them together talking about multifamily.

Isnt loopnet mainly commercial?

[@erikg666]

I like what he said about calling an agent, finding out the property was taken and building confidence from it that he was identifying good deals. Very positive take on a seemingly negative situation.

[@leeyoder1982]

This strategy definitely worked for me!

Real estate in general regardless if it's a first time buyer or investor is about the money. I'm done watching videos about how an investor buys a home, apartment or multi family and doesn't talk numbers. It's so vague, " so yeah I found this great property and then a week later owned a multifamily", really how was the possible? How much was the down payment, what was the % rate, closing cost etc...? It's always so vague that it's hard to take serious. Reminds me of these stories I read about a young perosn graduating from college and a few years later they sold their company for hundreds of millions. The in-between information is left out which is the bread and butter. These stories are entertaining not really informative. Carry on.
