[@judahhudson2200]

yes this process is excellent; let's apply it to our highest ideals

[@laughandluxe]

Great info. The idea of counting backwards from retirement monthly income and determining how many units are needed to achieve that goal. Then further breaking down the goal into 1 year increments, up to the goal of 30 units. This planning method is a lot like the SMART Goal technique.

[@FJUWANA]

I watched the webinar, great answer brandon! I fall into this category, but for me i'd like to quit my job and do real estate investing full time. This is an awesome tip. Keep up the good work buddy!

[@BrianHw1]

It's a viable plan, definitely. I've been in real estate since 2012 and have mostly been wholesaling. Looking back, I wish I'd picked up a few more rentals along the way. I've only got a few right now. But I've got a 5 year plan to retire: I'll wholesale 1-2 houses a month to pay my bills, do 5 flips a year and put that money into 5 rentals/year. At the end of 5 years, I'll have 25 properties with about 9 of them paid off. Cash flow will be about $110k/year at that point and will go up as I get additional houses paid off and rents increase.

[@danf4447]

wholesaling means finding someone who will sell to you at BELOW market rates when they can usually sell their house within hours or days with a sign in the yard- and at the SAME TIME finding a willing qualified buyer who will also buy RIGHT NOW. the odds of that happening is why every professional real estate investor i know laughs like crazy when you talk about the MYTH of wholesaling. it doesnt exist. if it did- you would be way better to have 2-4 financial partners- show them the house pencils out..buy it clean it fix it..then use that spread to take time and find a good buyer. which is what they all mostly do.!!

[@mrnobody-cf6il]

well, the problem is not how much unit we need to buy, but how to get money to buy those 30 units?

[@FlipAnythingUSA]

I bought a 24 unit apartment complex and it was owner financed. No bank needed. I made my money on the purchase in other words it was worth much more than the value of my contracted price to purchase. I had the cash to close deal but if i did not have the cash I would have flipped to someone else or possibly taken a partner. I have bought many properties this way. I would advise don't assume anything until you actually have many deals under your belt.

[@laraacct9171]

[@DarkmanXSincere]

FlipAnythingUSA I don't understand if someone owns a 24 unit complex why would they sell to you and finance you as well? Unless the complex is doing horrible how do they benefit from this??

[@Krushbrook94gt]

Will Echevarria There are hundreds of ways to make money in real estate. The person who sold this complex made money on it some how, probably purchased it dirt cheap at auction and are just reselling for a pretty large profit with owner financing.

[@MrHav1k]

@Will, good question to ask, especially in this market. People don't sell performing assets, so there's a good chance either you're paying too much for the property and thus taking on too much risk, OR there's something wrong with the property. On the residential side, you get the best deals from distressed sellers since they NEED to sell and will do so at a discount. Magically though, this logic seems to fly out the window when buying commercial properties lmao. If someone is selling you a commercial building and it's not under duress , or to POSSIBLY 1031 into another property, be very skeptical. Why sell a performing asset like a multi-unit apartment building? The people buying real estate at these inflated valuations because they listened to some guru hustler who makes more money selling programs than investing in real estate, will lose their ass once the next recession hits, interest rates go up, and unemployment skyrockets.

He's not talking about being able to buy them outright. He's talking about having a down payment and having them on a loan. What he means by cash flow is that you have enough cash made each month to pay your loan plus make a little money past that. He doesn't own all the houses outright within a year. The rent is enough to pay the monthly loan plus give him some cash. You have to actually think about what he saying

[@kirisutegomen12]

@@jimbob6216 in order to get mortgage loans your income needs to be enough to cover all the payments. These videos are bullshit

[@TheJuxify]

Aidan Zephan Akakino 'o ka Lani Tsukiyama Much easier said than done. I live in Washington state, a down payment here isn’t just 25,000, You’re lookin at like 65,000 for one unit for 10% maybe 15% if it’s on the cheaper side.

[@TheJuxify]

@Aidan Zephan Akakino 'o ka Lani Tsukiyama The place you are looking are on the other side of the mountains. Yes, there is cheap land in Washington, but where that cheap land is there is also a lack of employment opportunities. You're most likely looking at Walla Walla, Yakima, Spokane, Preston, or many other small cities. The population tends to be older people or groups of immigrants or own a house near the farm they work at (that's really the only employment opportunity). The market for renting out there is next to nothing, if you want to make any passive income off of real estate in WA, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything that cheap on the side of the mountains with cities and employers. Also, I have 1.2k in Robinhood, I know how to invest and I enjoy investing. Not everything is as easy for everyone in different parts of the country.

[@TheJuxify]

@Aidan Zephan Akakino 'o ka Lani Tsukiyama I'm 19 years old, money works for the rich not the impoverished. I'm going to work my ass off so that by the time I'm in my thirties the dream I have now is much more obtainable; nonetheless, money is a requirement if you want to make money work for you. Trading single share stocks is a bad idea unless you plan on investing long term and know the company has a future, but even then ETFs and bonds are safer even if their ROI is lower. The employment opportunities aren't for me, theoretically I could live out there but I have a workaholic personality and desire a job to keep me busy for most of my day. If I want a job, I need a place on this side of the mountains. No bank will give you a loan for a downpayment over in those cities i mentioned because no one wants to rent out there, there's no market, that's why the land is so cheap, and where there is a market, the land is expensive. I get what you're saying, and I'll get there, but for most people this is not an immediate thing. 1k in the stock market is jack shit if I'm expecting a solid return within even a decade. People need to make money before they can make money make money for them.

[@HighTech420]

what I wanna understand is, I know they saying you should do a down payment and get a mortgage on a multifamily, but what about the units after? are you doing home equity loans? cause I know you cant just keep taking out mortgages in the same year, or are they saying to solely depend on opm from investors and others you find, any thanks would be great, thanks!

[@XxDJVirtualxX]

For all you new real estate buyers out there. I would say start small. Maybe give out room on rent in the house you currently living in. Start by saving more money on down payment. Then think of buying town homes or semi detached units. It's very hard to find a mortage for a second home unless you have a really good job and I mean job that pays 100k + a year.. and permanent.

Lol Unfortunately I'm in Canada and we don't have properties ranging from 40000 to 150000. You'd be lucky to get in at 500000. 30 units or equivalent times 500,000$ yea that's realistic. Come on Brandon, this video needs more depth and must include a more realistic price point. My portfolio is at two with decent cash flow but I'm tapped with financing and my consumer credit card debt is only 600$. I'm having a hard time finding financing for my third.

[@aamirbasir5464]

darwandoo I just did a quick search on some properties in Canada some houses are worth 130,000 ? You know you don’t have to buy in the city you’re in right ? They have property managers so you can get a cheap rental property out of the way and have someone else manage

Retire Re tire make tired again. The purpose is to achieve a goal and start a new one not to do nothing. I did nothing for quite a while and trust me , it is annoyingly boring and depressing. Not a good goal. Find what others need that you enjoy doing or find fascinating. Your calling. Then do that even if people say you can't or shouldnt. And never quit, transition maybe, but don't quit. Do it especially for the possible heavenly rewards, but it works better for here too far more than doing nothing does. Plus, the means to do nothing easily causes a lack of structure which is very dangerous for a human's psychological state of mind.

[@davec-1378]

I agree with the math and finding houses that net cash flow isn’t too difficult but... The problem is with such a thin net cash flow ($100-200 month) you are in dire risk of faulting with a moderate downturn in housing When housing markets fall the owners and banks will flood the market with rentals therefore lowering rental prices That + $200 a month on 30 units could turn into -100 on 30 units and you’re stuck These types of plans can work but they are also very much the ones susceptible to bankruptcy I’m not saying don’t chase your goals I’m suggesting for as many rosy stories you hear of there are 3-5 that fail miserably

[@ryanthepianoman27]

So having more cash flow would solve the prob

There are 1/2 bed room condos going for 200k-450k in affluent neighborhoods where typical rent is 2500-4000 a month for a 1/2 bedroom condo. With a great interest rate for the loan, loan amounts could be 800 to 2k a month so, is this a good idea to buy or should I do a duplex or triplex?!?!

[@huynh0427]

[@LilRedRasta]

Depending where you are, you don't even need 30 units. 5 multifamily houses can suffice. I live in New Orleans. NO has A TON of multifamily doubles. its the main type of apartment that you'll find in NO as there aren't many complexes. Rent in NOLA for a 1 bedroom is like 900-1200. Assuming, you rented one side out, you can theoretically pay the mortgage, p&I, and taxes, and pretty much every other expense with one side of the property. The other side is total profit. So we're talking 800-1200 in profit for ONE property. ALOT of these houses are priced between 120k to 300k. My dad bought one a while ago. A lot of my friends down here also own some. My dad was making 900 off of one property. Just a bit of food for thought.

[@SoDavey274]

Some of you have missed the point of this video. Although it would help if the title mentioned that this is best used for commercial real estate (5+ units buildings). Whilst $150 is small for a house, on a 5-unit building that would be $750/month cash flow. Also once you start it will be progressively easier to do more deals and do bigger deals. You just need to expand beyond single family thinking and go for the commercial stuff. I do disagree that $54,000/year is enough to "retire" on. For most major cities you would still need another job with that kind of income. Just a matter of scaling up again.

[@DiscoFang]

David Patrickson missed the point? He specifically describes 'family' units. Family units is not commercial.

[@forwhomthegametolls2856]

Actually, it sounds like YOU missed the point of this video. He specifically says that 4500/month was a roundabout figure to cover all of your basic needs/bills but ultimately you have to decide what the target number is. And to be honest, in most areas of America, entire household incomes average at or below 54K already. Secondly, commercial real estate (5+ unit properties) requires a different type of loan, hence buying 4 or less is a lot easier to do for most people.

[@r2solutions635]

David Patrickson I avoid commercial and actually have a duplex and triplex. I believe that’s what he suggested for year 1 to get 5 units. I will either purchase a quadplex or a house this year which will secure my retirement. My return is several hundred per unit after mortgage and all expenses are paid. This reduces my overall monthly expenses which means I need far fewer units. Another consideration is how you live. My properties are in DC where the cost of living is steadily increasing, however I tend to live modest and prefer some level of minimalism. I also work full time which will help me pay the mortgage much sooner.

[@mattr7118]

David Patrickson if you made 54k a year from real estate your taxable income would be much less. There's easy ways to write stuff off on your taxes in real estate. So you wouldn't be getting taxed much. And 54k a year? I mean dude that's the average income for 2 people working in 1 house. If you had that from 1 person you'd be doing alright. Rich? No. But anyone can live off of that.

[@kirisutegomen12]

I know this example wont help me because my numbers are different to retire on but it can be done I like the slow and steady approach and trying to keep down debit to a minimum or nonexistent which will extend the time it will take me to retire.

I'm going for my first unit next year. Plan to have 3 in 5 years and 10 in 10 years. The idea is there it's just the initial cash flow requirement for the first property (nearly there)

I would strongly discourage anyone from getting into a partnership their first few years of real estate investing, guess it's a good way to leverage your assets but try to learn the ropes before you sign on the dotted line, I've heard too many horror stories of partnerships gone bad

Getting started in RE Investing, people on BP are trying to turn me away from doing such a thing if you are inexperienced. So how do you get into RE investing if people are telling you about the dark part. To a beginner, that can scare them off and make them not even think about doing such a thing. Not sure if BP is just BS or not. Everyone who chimed in on the forum seems helpful, but some just seem like they are turning you away when you ask beginner questions.

Isn't 5 units allot for someone who never bought a home? Wouldn't it be more like 1 multi family for the first year then maybe 2 the following year? Then 4 the next? (That's my strategy for now.)

[@windygorge1]

thats a great strategy. stacking works

[@laprepper]

If I own $700,000 worth of real estate in two single-family homes in Los Angeles that's about 4,500 in rent before expenses, so yeah if I could pay off the mortgages on $700,000 in three years I'd be there

[@jayeasy4682]

These investment properties require a 20 to 25% down payment. Let's say you're in it for 50k a unit and @ 30 units you'll need $300,000 too $375,000 for down payments each year. Not to mention if you earn $50,000 a year with no debt and you buy 2 fourplexs at 180k each in the first year, that's 72 to 90k down payment and maybe $1,800 to $2,000 a month getting close to 42% debt to income ratio. If a bank allowed you to leverage more debt based on the first years income I still don't see how you could do it.

[@adgreyx]

YO, IT'S SO EZ BRO!!!!

[@PD-hf5ql]

I love the can do attitude..but retirement? sounds like a full time job to me.. which is ok if that's your thing.
