How Much I Make From My 2 Rental Properties

[@jjbuckner]

So I just noticed that Principal pay down is not included in my spreadsheet. First, as mentioned in the video, these are the spreadsheets I send to my CPA and I cannot count principal pay down as an expense. Therefore that is why it is not listed. Totally a mistake on my part and should have been included. After accounting for principal pay down, the ACTUAL avg monthly income from both properties combined are around $350/month after ALL expenses. Again, my mistake.

I always watch you on my tv so I don’t usually comment but I jumped on here to ask about that. Thanks for clarifying. And thanks for sharing. I love your videos. I have three rental properties and want to build a bigger portfolio but this market stinks for that !!

[@respthep1]

hey JJ I have 1 rental that is paid off that was my previous resident here in NC. rent was low at $950 for 1300 sq ft. now that the tenats just moved out I am remodling and going to charge $1300 per the property manger. question, what options or tools can I use to buy another investment property? thanks! are you and your wife still traveling. I'm still doing RT travel contracts. awesome pay!

@Andrea Venghaus Exactly, money is always eager and ready to work for anyone who is ready to employ it. That is why it’s nice to start up an investment now. I have researched about this bitcoin and I found it profitable.

I understand the fact that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is a hard thing to do because i have no idea of how and where to invest in these?

@@anthonythobias2034 In situations like this,I always recommend to people on getting guidance at least from someone that understands price action and all that while you strive on improving yourself by watching videos and learning fundamental analysis.

Lately I’ve been thinking of buying cryptocurrency for retirement, I’ve set asides $350k to invest but along the line,I usually get cold feet, maybe because I have no idea what I’m doing,

I bought a house and rent it out I said there was no smoking allowed but the guy smoked in it and ended up catching the house on fire and it burnt well most of the ground the good news is at least I got the insurance money

[@ISILENTNINJAI]

I'd be so passed if that happen to me

[@samuelmoijueh2030]

The houses look nice. I'm not familiar with Kansas City but I feel like you should be charging more in rent

[@minnyvike1]

What is the interest fee? The interest on the mortgage? I thought you bought these outright or I thought I saw a video a year or so ago where y'all already owned a house?

[@RyChOr2005]

Love the spreadsheet. Just wanted to point out that Cell Q26 does not include the HOA total in your sum formula

[@jjbuckner]

Thanks Ryan! Yea, that charge for the HOA was made in January of 2023 so will reflect on this years taxes not 2022.

Pull the washer and dryer try to manage the 2 of them if u can

[@FinancialFreedomLifestyle]

Something I've learned during my real estate journey is the bigger the building the better and usually anything less then 6 units doesn't truly cash flow if you have debt on the properties.

[@jjbuckner]

I won't disagree saying bigger the better. As far as properties not truly cash flowing if under 6 units (having debt) I would have to disagree on.

[@JR-bx6kw]

Great video. You show the property taxes, but most need to know that if you have a day job, the your also going to have an impact with income taxes... SO your profit needs a disclaimer its before personal income taxes. :)

[@JohnK.11]

Bro I live a hr north of NYC and those tax numbers per month you pay are insanely low compared to NY.

[@sirus312]

rentals are dangerous be careful. because at 2 am your tenant can demand you come over and tuck them into bed or draw a bath. HELL NO!!!! weekly call options are safer

[@michellewinkler3985]

We had a call on Christmas Day!!!! to repair a hole in the drywall ceiling from a water leak from the bathroom above! Sold the dang thing later on, right as COVID hit. Knew that would bring on more issues! So glad we did!

[@GaryWang]

Love your video! Do you mind sharing your excel spreadsheet template? Thanks!

[@stevennoack6799]

Why do you have a property manager? You could have vetted maintenance guys and the one you go with ask him if its ok if my tenants call you directly. then he goes out to the property and looks at the issue. Calls you with a quote

[@jjbuckner]

What about showing the property? What about quarterly inspections to make sure tenants aren't tearing up the house? What about projects too big for the maintenance guy? I live far from these properties and like being hands off. Without a property manager that is simply not possible lol

[@stevennoack6799]

@@jjbuckner show the property when you come into town to visit relatives, I don't bother my tenants with quarterly inspections, and if the project is to big google a company to fix it. Boom problems solved. lol

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

As a traveler myself I’d definitely recommend taking an assignment somewhere you’re already familiar with if the intention us to buy a property. I got lucky out here in Boston but things could’ve gone much worse if I ended up in a bad location. Nothing wrong with cash and dividend stocks until you want to plant roots.

[@itgamer4143]

What does she do that you can except put eyes on the property? I own property cross the states and do everything on my own. 😅 Haven't had a problem dealing with everything.

[@damtheman]

Love that you do this in excel and manually. I feel it helps me and keeps me most organized too. Plus, I kind of enjoying it and "punching" numbers every month.

[@jjbuckner]

haha same!

[@DylanOwens1]

Can we get a copy of this spreadsheet template? Pretty Please?

Just downloaded the app! Like legitimately just got on it. Thank you so much! This is going to be a game changer!

[@respthep1]

can you share your spreadsheet?

[@srortega]

Just curious why the mortgage is not listed in your numbers?

[@jjbuckner]

Principal is not listed bc I can’t count that as an expense to the IRS. Forgot to mention that in the video. Should have included that.

[@srortega]

@@jjbuckner That makes sense, but curious... are you net positive income after the mortgages?

[@jjbuckner]

@@srortega still net positive. Actually pinned a comment with updated numbers bc of your comment lol

Are you missing the mortgage payments on the spreadsheet? I see the interest, but not the principal.

[@jjbuckner]

You can’t count principal pay down as an expense to the IRS. Probably should have mentioned that in the video. That’s my fault lol

Me and my fiancé are getting married in April and buying a town house from her family in may or June. We are renting the townhouse from them right now and they’re going to sell it for 158k recently sold is like 211k. Feel really fortunate for the opportunity. Seven miles from LSU so we plan on renting it out when we are done living here.
