How to Use Your Home Equity to Buy Rental Properties NOW

[@marshallhennington4369]

Excellent David! You are a good dude and very humble. I have followed bigger pockets these last 3 years and it inspired me to have acquired, 2 homes, a Tri plex and 2 four plex’s and I am currently in escrow on another property and I own my main home. All due to taking action. 5 years ago my credit sucked back then, I was in debt and I had student loans. I cleaned up all of those problems and that was 5 years ago. Now I am building a small portfolio. I also plan to pay off 3 properties in the next 3 years. If I can do it anyone can do it! Get to work fellas and start your new life!

[@Tatthunder89]

Any recommendations about how to learn how to do this? Sources beyond Bigger pockets… thank you! And congratulations 🎉

Using your home as collateral on investment properties is a major risk. I know people who did this and were WIPE OUT when the government screwed landlords with the ''renters protection.'' Losing an income property sucks, losing your home is catastrophic.

[@adrielaraujo2604]

Yeah definitely sucks, thats why reserves are always mandatory

[@camcam3087]

2+ years of non payment and eviction moratorium. Your saying 2 years of reserves??

Hi there! I just stumbled onto your channel and absolutely enjoyed how you approach each question and the concrete examples that you use to elucidate the underlaying economic concept(s). I’d like to know how I can ask a question of my own. Thanks!

[@bloomip]

David I Love the macroeconomics stuff , also , love the way you explain and simplify real estate. break it down for us newbies . Thank you we definitely appreciate it

[@vaughanmoody]

David, regarding the chair swiveling comment, you made a great point about having to think about what to say, and being able to say it in an informative yet easy-to-understand way, while also getting it across in an engaging and even entertaining way, without flubbing your words, getting side-tracked or losing your train of thought. That’s SUPER difficult to do, and there’s very few people who can do that, but you do it very well. Kudos to you!

[@CasebyCaseIntuitive]

David! Your comparisons and analogies are awesome! Thanks for the information and most importantly thanks for your ability to communicate well!

[@corymeals8581]

Thanks for answering my question, David! You’re right tho I wasn’t crazy about your answers. I was able to get a line of credit in the works on one of the properties. It is with the lender that has the first position, small local bank.

[@Pedroza1023]

What would you do if you were in my shoes!? I purchased a 10 acre farm in central Fl in early 21 for 460k, put 20% down and currently owe 349k on it. When I purchased the property 6 acres of it was wooded, I cleared that wooded land, planted grass, put more paddocks in, made it beautiful and it just so happens to be 4 miles from something called the World Equestrian Center which has made the properties in that area sky rocket. I have a 2.5% interest rate on it, monthly mortgage is $1,518. I currently have the entire farm rented out (annual rental, they pay all expenses) for 6,885 a month. The one year rental is over Feb 8th 2024 and my tenant just signed a new annual lease for $7,350 a month. The farm is now worth over a million dollars. so I have about 650k equity in it. Id like to tap into that equity however as you know getting a HELOC on a rental is very difficult. Selling a property with a 2.5% interest rate that is producing 5x its mortgage just seems dumb. What do I do!?

[@Funtimes900]

Hey David, I know insurance is not a fun topic to discuss, but what is enough insurance for each property, when's it good to get an umbrella, commercial vs residential, and where should it be held under as far as the LLC for the property or under personal name? We've got our trifecta of our trust, management LLC and individual LLCs per property as that's what we are comfortable with. We have 6 LTR with strong cashflow and continue to grow! Thanks, David!

[@xXtdudeXx92]

Worry for loss of cash flow is the problem. Especially in a falling market lol. The interest rate is a huge reason. I agree bigger and better, but that only works if your not already in a premium location. The idea of not selling for inflation is understandable when is like... 1-2%. But they went up 4% this year and it's still climbing. Curious about Rolling his properties into a trust and then pulling a loan off the portfolio. Is their something their?

[@sarahgrillo9915]

Well to be fair, they say residential is in a correction not a crash. They also are careful to note that each market has nuance so become an expert on what is taking place in your target market. They say commercial is in a bit more trouble because of the debt service. It’s difficult to flesh out every detail when responding to people’s questions. They probably assume you have been listening a while and have heard these principles if you are a person who is writing a question on the podcast.. it is not a cookie cutter market right now. There is not a one size fits all or an easy checklist to just follow..JS

Was able to get a local bank to give a line of credit agains the equity in some land I have. This question was posed a while ago. I don’t think I’m going to tap into the equity on the duplexes and single fam rentals for now.

[@corymeals8581]

And to clarify, they were already in a first position

[@kr1sant]

This was kinda my issue. My interest rate is 0.851% and my mortgage payment with property taxes and insurance is $900 monthly. My tenant pays 2k currently and is in a month to month. The house is in a wonderful neighborhood, close to Dallas maverick arena, 27 minutes from cowboys stadium and 30 minutes from Texas Rangers Field. I owe 96,740 and it is worth roughy 375k-390k. It makes sense to cash out refinance and buy a few more properties. I can get like 3000/monthly in rent when the tenant leaves. I am also in the process building 2 houses.

That's exactly what I was thinking. DG's advice looks in the rear view mirror and he knows it. I think David wants the best for people and he is overly optimistic so that people take action (which is correct in the right environment). But his words are dangerous right now in this environment. He should point this out.

[@corymeals8581]

I like this option too! I was able to tee up a line of credit on some land I have in case a smoking deal comes along. Im not going to sell and not going to refi. It makes no sense to do either of those right now.

I think you need to be careful with leverage. That being said, I bought 18 units in 2017 and sold my 12 unit property that had 8 storage units for almost double what I paid for it. I was retiring and with that property, I felt overextended. So I sold it and bought into 2 DSTs that created a monthly income stream. I felt it was Gods direction by using my husbands advice. At the time I bought the property, I used my HELOC on my paid off home as a down payment for that property. I was working full time making 6 figures and it didn’t seem like I was overleveraged at that time. I sold it in 2022 May.

If you have a loan on it, wouldn't you just take a cash out refi? Or if you own free and clear, take out a mortgage on it, getting it all in cash. Either way there's no tax because its not considered income. However this being a 5 unit, it would be a commercial loan.
