What is your opinion on Air B n B's?

Coach, I can’t believe you share these videos with the public without charging a penny. God will continue to bless you and your family.

[@CoachChadCarson]

This was so helpful! I live near the largest military base in the world and the rental market is very good here. Thank you for the info, Coach!

[@kuyayllasumak4552]

Coach Carson I'm so deeply thankful for you and to find you. I just bought a course but I'm learning a lot with you! You are great may our God bless you and your family! Thank you thank you thank you!

[@nancyguzman7887]

Your videos helped my husband and I buy our 2nd property. Thank you! We’re very happy. Do you have a video for folks that start this in their middle fifties with the goal of retirement in a few years? What’s special about these purchases? Anything different we should be looking for? Thank you!

[@lailaatallah1857]

Fabulously helpful. Thank you for the step by step approach, outlining potential pitfalls, as well. I like how you show how doable it is, but you don’t sugar coat it either.

[@Ratchet25]

Can you make a video on how you manage your rental properties/receive cash while your traveling in another country for 17 months like you did when you went to Ecuador with your family. How do you access your money from back home to use in Ecuador, and how do you know everything is taken care of back in the US and nothing can go wrong.

Been loving the videos. I'm hoping to purchase my first rental property in 2022 and videos like these are really helpful. I bought the book as well! Getting delivered tomorrow.

Great information! Thank you for sharing these resources. Is there a way you can post the video as well for fist time buyers for their first house not for investment yet, but hopefully transition eventually to be the first investment? What are the fees, and financial payables that a first-time buyer needs to be prepared for and not be blinded? Thank you

[@okayq]

Thank you coach!

[@Bamaoutdoors]

Thanks for sharing! Have you ever done a balloon mortgage? It has to be payed in full in 10 years or refinance the remaining balance. Oh and it's 0% down too!

[@deljay1840]

As a newbie, I saved $50k for a rental in 2014. I missed out on two homes, each selling for $48k. I gave up on RE investing bc it seemed too hard. Saved $50k again in 2021. But still sitting on the sidelines, this time bc the homes I missed in 2014 are now selling for $300k.

[@CoachChadCarson]

What do those $300,000 homes rent for in your location? Would you consider getting a loan to buy one if the numbers make sense?

[@ohiodigger4391]

I’m looking to start buying some single family rental properties. I’ve been saving for the last year or so. But I’m wondering is there an advantage to refinancing my personal home and using that as my down payment? Considering rates are pretty low. Is it better to hold onto my cash? FYI your info is awesome. And super easy to follow along the way you present it. Thanks for that. Sub’d.

[@CoachChadCarson]

I started a new segment on my channel called Ask Coach, and I used your question for the first episode. Check it out as I answer your question in great detail. Thank you for your question! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHPEf3umfM92nac

[@karessajwiley]

Thanks for sharing I'm happy to find your channel. I'm a newbie , started learning about wholesaling I am learning that I am more interested in focusing on rentals. Can you share what is the best way to get funding to buy rental properties.

[@CoachChadCarson]

Thanks for stopping by Karessa! I made a video about down payments here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/foWxpKWYeryKqKM. There are many 30-year loan programs for first time buyers, especially if you house hack (live in one unit, rent out other parts of home or duplex, 3-plex, etc). Some financing programs to explore are FHA, VA (for veterans), USDA (for rural homes), and conventional loans (owner occupant or investor). I'd start with a mortgage broker who already does investment loans. Try to find a local investing meetup or club and ask investors who they use for loans.

[@RudolphDocCampos]

Thanks, Couch.

Please, I need some honest advice. I have a $ 90,000 balance on my mortgage payment. The interest rate was 3.99%. I have $80k saved to buy a rental property, but the interest rate now is 7%. Do you advise that I use this saved money to pay down my mortgage and save up more money to start buying rental properties? That way, I don't have much debt to keep me restless at night 😅. Please advise

Thanks again Coach!! Also I downloaded the spread sheet but when I put zero for the interest rate, I'm getting errors for Loan princiapal paydowns, total return, total ROI, Total return, total ROI.

Hello, we offer fu Price $525k, 3% credit to buy down rate. We are in escrow but inspection came back and there is about 5k in work that’s must be done. I don’t want to ask for price reduction to cover repairs as that will affect the 3% rate buy down. What are my options maybe credit on closing cost?

[@killzoomer]

Man this is stressing me out

[@tomasnattes564]

Amazing! Thank you so much for delivering such a great content. I have a quick question, coach: Since I'm living in a country with a whole different economy (Colombia), would all of this information still apply somehow?

[@CoachChadCarson]

The financing step will be different in Colombia than the US. And running the numbers will likely be different. When I lived in Ecuador, I remember that the rent to price ratio was a lot lower than in the US. But the concept of buying in the right location building a team, doing due diligence, etc I'm sure are all similar.

[@CoachChadCarson]

What part of Colombia do you live in?

[@tomasnattes564]

Alright, Coach. I'll take that into account. I'm living in Ibague City, it's a place with a population of 530.000 people. It's growing rapidly.

[@CoachChadCarson]

Buena suerte! Espero que vaya bien.

[@415getActive]

hey coach if 2400 is your cash flow that's pretty low 1 can argue real estate investing is more making banks rich than yourself....and to achieve more cash flow you need multiple houses/loans right? to eventually have a higher cash flow then save and pay off your loans 1 by 1...am I getting this right? it's impossible to be financially free with just 1 house

[@dlnash1]

Hi There Coach. Thank you for the spreadsheet! However, it will not open...

[@CoachChadCarson]

Sorry to hear that, David. Can you help me understand where it was a problem. Did you already visit here and download the spreadsheet: www.coachcarson.com/rental-property-calculator-spreadsheet/ ? And it's a link that should open in your browser, and then you can save it to your computer.

[@evelyncr39]

Hi coach! Love your videos! Looking to start investing in rentals and I'm very nervous...went to look at 3 properties in Baltimore today and I desperately need someone with lots of experience advice...can I ask you your opinion on 2 that I saw? I would like to send the listing to you to see what you think if that's OK?

[@CoachChadCarson]

Hi Evelyn, I'd love to help but I'm not set up to look at individual deals right now. I'll be doing a coaching program this fall where I will be. In the meantime, do you know the Charm City Buyers? They're in Baltimore and seem to know their neighborhoods and the business very well. I'm happy to help here on the channel if you have general questions for now.

Hi Coach good day, thank you for this videos I learned a lot. I am a newbee in this industry and eager to take risk. I am about to loan a condo and build into a beds space rent, do you think it is a good strategy? Thank you coach

[@CoachChadCarson]

Thanks Joshua. Are you buying the condo? And by "beds space rent" do you mean renting out bedrooms? Whether it's a good deal depends on the numbers and the location.

[@caseyadams2627]

How do you feel about buying an out of state rental in cash with a HELOC, then paying the HELOC back with the cash flow? Thanks for the all the info. Considering doing just this in Ohio (I live in California and absoltuely cannot afford a rental here).

[@CoachChadCarson]

That's exactly what the couple in this video did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXrCeaZul7lroLs I recommend refincing the HELOC with a new mortgage unless you can pay it off very fast (a couple of years). A HELOC is a good short term tool but not something to keep debt on for the long term. Pay it back fast.

[@miguelmontrell996]

Coach, What if you have about 175,000 in equity in your current home. Would would you play be? Thinking about out of state. I want to get a 4 plex....2,000 cash flow after all expenses.

[@CoachChadCarson]

Have you considered a HELOC to use that equity?

[@awesomebosssoccer7387]

Hi coach. I purchased and took one of your courses. The course description offers having our questions answered by you. So, I asked a question in the chat a few days ago. I also sent it via email, but there is no response. I noticed that most of your comments to the course questions are from a year ago... if we purchased the course in October 2021, can we still receive feedback and answers to our questions? Thank you.

[@CoachChadCarson]

Nihad, I'm sorry I missed your question. I just saw it and will be happy to answer it in the course. Yes, in the courses you're free to ask questions anytime. My assistant and I are going to make an adjustment so I don't miss a question like that next time.

thanks for asking. I have a course on analyzing deals: courses.coachcarson.com/p/rental-property-analysis and another on all the steps of buying a property (like contracts, due diligence, etc): courses.coachcarson.com/p/contract-to-closing those are both good places to build a foundation. I normally also do a live, bootcamp style course every spring and fall but I won't be teaching it until spring 2023 while I'm moving to Spain this fall. But that can be found at coachcarson.com/reds I appreciate your interest!

[@awesomebosssoccer7387]

Hey Coach! I am from Guayaquil -Ecuador but live in the US. Thanks for the info! How do you calculate the cash flow when you pay cash for the property? I still have a loan because I am doing a cash out refi but with no down payment, I am not sure how to show that in the calculations. Thanks!

[@CoachChadCarson]

Hola Nihad! I love Ecuador. The people there were so great to me and my family when we lived there in Cuenca in 2017/2018. If you pay cash, on the spreadsheet I shared you can just put 100% for down payment. And if you refinance and pull out ALL your cash with a loan (i.e. you borrow 100%), then you put 0% for the down payment. Hope that makes sense.

what is your take on Tax liens?

It can be a good source to find investment properties to purchase. Some people also just buy the liens to collect interest. I've bought liens that turned into deeds for properties, and I've sent letter to properties owners with delinquent taxes to try and buy their property. Both have worked well.
