I Went From 1 Condo to 9 Rental Properties After Doing THIS

[@jonathangamble]

you completely skipped the important stuff, you had 87% of your house paid off in supposedly 4 years, you weren't clear on that, then sure, you had plenty of equity for a 1031 exchange, which btw you skipped realtor / title fees etc to list it... this video is why people get in trouble in real estate...

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

It’s hard to go into every detail in a video. The few percent in transactions costs are pretty insignificant. Happy to share any details you want 1031ing into a higher cap rate property at a 25% down payment. Isn’t typically what causes people to get into trouble

As a Finance MBA I have to say that this is a much watch video for anyone that has owned an investment property for 2+ years and is focused on equity/wealth growth. Return on Equity is the #1 metric to measure and is often times forgotten about. Thanks for the reminder and simple overview.

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

Thank you! Yea it’s a powerful concept. Took me a long time to figure out

[@naoh619]

I'm confused how you did $100m yearly from 9 properties and 4 businesses. It seems pretty vague. can you explain further details in the income from each business and real estate property. I somewhat understand you start small real estate and 1031 into bigger and bigger. I just dont get how you do $100m yearly.

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

I'll try my best to explain a KZbin comment. The goal of the video is to teach about ROE and how it helped me scale from 1-9 doors. I used the ROE concept and my ability to teach and model. to help others. Which drove a lot of biz growth and other opportunities. The businesses are separate entities and income: Brokerage - $100mm/yr in sales - the majority are investors. Every month I have clients optimize ROE. We do a lot of transactions in Colorado.

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

From the concepts and brokerage, that lead to being recruited as General Partner for capital raising in a RE Private Equity firm. In our first year, we raised about $40mm, with a lot of it coming from investors equities in their properties.

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

In fact, I had so much demand and interest from this concept, that we start building software 2.5 years ago to model (say bye bye to spreadsheets!)

[@nicolematherne1608]

Yeah lots of holes and confusion. I appreciate your enthusiasm though.

[@taal_whisperer]

You contradict yourself when you say building equity is bad yet you use the NOI from your paid off properties to demonstrate how fast you scale.

[@Trenttabor]

ROE is an efficiency of capital metric but also is a risk measurement. High equity is low risk low return, low equity is often high risk, high return. So depending on how eager you are to grow, should determine your equity approach.

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

Yes. It depends what phase of life you're in: INCOME or GROWTH. I'm in growth, as are most people watching the video. I wanted growth. Always keep high cash reserve es to offset any bumps or crashes

[@karenjackson358]

Your video is not realistic. Most people cannot purchase any property with no money down. I'm done.

[@films.byjules]

Foruntately the concept of ROE can be applied to any property you buy. The hard part IS just getting into your first property. But there are lot's of options out there to get into a property for very little down.I know Chris has had some clients get in for under 5k. So it IS possible. Don't get discouraged! :)

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

Karen, I understand it can seem unrealistic, but a lot of people routinely do if. My point in the video wasn’t to talk about the amazing deal… but that no matter how you buy, you always run into the ROE problem!

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

FYI since then I’ve bought zero properties with zero down. I got a little lucky on this one. Take it when you can. Also a friendly suggestion, don’t close off your mindset to finding amazing deals!

[@arthurkineard7356]

I am not a fan of this video. Why would you just not get a heloc and keep your first place. This method assumes very good appreciation also. I think I will stick with commercial real estate.

[@michaelpaccione3801]

I like having just one maximum size property at any given time. Different locations more paperwork more overhead imo. Next step will end up being 2 fourplexes into a commercial 12+ units ideally.

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

Devi's advocate: I've had the same thought for efficiency and scale, but then no diversification. All the eggs are in one basket if something happens to property or specific neighborhood. How to balance that risk?

Hi what were your other business ? I’m new to this community . I have two businesses and one rental and a W-2 job. How do I get to 100million like you ? I need to set passive income goals, thank you .

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

I'm asking BP if I can do a full video on it. In our first recording, I tried to go into details on the business side too. but it turned into "a numbers soup" that even my own editing team couldn't figure out. haha The ROE concept is one that very few investors understand. As an entrepreneur, I always look for ways to find untapped niches. ROE is a big one. I have a brokerage team in CO that does about $100mm a year in sales. The majority of transactions are investments, with many being equity optimization deals. Once the light bulb went off, I started telling every investor I could connect with.

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

It buiild an amazing niche that lead me to building software to model it and becoming a General Partner in a RE Private Equity firm. We raised $40mm in our first year. With a lot coming from equity from rentals.

[@EmpireOfNerds]

4 ways to make money in real estate video PLEASE !

[@ericjgarber]

Great video, Chris. ROE is extremely important for people to understand...took me a long time to really understand and one thing that helped is just looking at it from the perspective of opportunity cost (seems like people generally understand that concept but rarely apply it to REI). In other words, the equity tied up in a property has an opportunity cost, so you should regularly (once/yr) be re-evaluating that property's performance from the perspective of opportunity cost (or in other words, would your money be working harder for you in some other way). Another concept that you preach that you mention but gloss over is when you are regularly re-evaluating your property's performance, you need to look at it in today's numbers and answer the question: "would I re-buy this property today with these numbers?"... Keep up the great work Chris!

[@Adrian-yi8fl]

Great video but I don't see how you count depreciation as income. Maybe if you calculated your tax savings per year because of the depreciation that could be counted as income. But you don't get a dollar-for-dollar tax-saving for depreciation it just lowers your taxable income. I could probably benefit from a more in-depth video on that topic.

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

Yes, that’s how you want to calculate. It’s the most complicated part of real estate. It’ll save you paying taxes, Or if you do some advance strategies, you can get a tax refund with it. Look up the cost seg video with Yonah Weiss I did on here a year or two ago

You skipped the main thing….How did you find the property? 😊

[@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate]

ha! I debated not putting that in there. I wanted people to focus on ROE. It was part luck, market conditions, and having wealthy individuals TRUST me It was an MLS deal. I couldn't get a traditional loan at the time. I started tapping into my network. An older, wealthier couple who wanted income jumped at at the chance. INCOME was their focus. At the time, bonds / CD's weren't paying much. a 5% return fro them on a real estate asset that was $200k 3 years before with someone they highly trusted (me), was a great investment for me. It was all about finding a win/win.. FYI - this was the only deal I bought for $0 down. I'm not a creative finance buying guy

I know that there are lending programs with banks that will allow you to get a property with 0 down and no PMI. Only certain properties in certain areas that are designated by the bank will be approved for that type of financing. Then typically one of the requirements is that you don’t own any other property.
