As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.

[@Daneilchirs2]

People dismiss the importance of advisors until they are burned by their own emotions. I remember a couple of summers ago, following my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to assist my business stay alive, so I looked for qualified consultants and came across someone with the highest qualifications. She has helped me raise my reserve from $275k to $850k, despite inflation.

Purchase (2) modest investment rentals. (I own 4.) It is a part-time hands-on business and a ticket to a comfortable retirement if you are willing to deal with the headaches. I buy clean low-mileage cars in cash and I carry no balance on credit cards. I "retired" 10 years ago and my portfolio is worth more now (inflation considered). I will not outlive my resources if I live to be 100.

[@JeffWilliamfick]

I waited at a red light today, next to a bus with an ad on it for people who needed help with getting out of debt. And it hit me: I have zero debt! I owe nothing to anyone! Oh, what a feeling, what a rush (as that song says). Some people may think this is nuts, but let me tell you, it is a feeling as good as the paid off mortgage. And having large stocks of food allows you to replace those necessities only when they are on sale, so you keep saving money long term. I’m so glad I took my Investment journey serious and with my financial advisor, I have been to achieve my goals.

[@EdwinBoettcher]

Absolutely! Just like Howard Marks, says the same thing about his investment philosophy. Once you know what your values are, consistency is the key to success while respecting those values.

[@KimberlyFlores-kr1bz]

How do I find a suitable fiduciary advisor, can you recommend any?

[@BradleyMaurice226]

Find financial advisors like Becky Lou Gordon who can assist you. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.

Being a landlord is not "fully passive". It takes time and work, whether you have a PM or not. It's probably 50% "passive". Being an LP in a syndication is as close as you can get to being "fully passive".

I agree. Semi passive but worth it for sure.

[@jacobyatako]

This is 100% true to a tee. I have 19 tenants and it's ALL about the deal because that allows you to recycle capital much faster the better the deal is or get to the next deal much faster the better the cashflow is.

How do you keep funding going from one purchase to another? We’re on #2 and with prop costs and rates, refinancing kills our monthly profits

I have 6 paid off rental properties and this is not passive income. If you are only cash flowing a few hundred dollars per month, you are only one major repair away from a loss for the year. That said, I love it. But, a lot of these KZbin channels make it look too easy.

[@MeltingRubberZ28]

Yeah I only have one and looking for another. Like you said, it's work. With interest rates the way they are most are zero income for a few years which sucks.

It’s definitely passive income depending on a your situation. You just described a scenario where it’s not. Someone else owns 6 and has a major repair or 3 and it still cash flows plus they get to write off expenses.

Who in the world is buying properties that cashflow $300-400 with traditional rentals nowadays? I don't see how that's even possible esin today's market. Unless you're putting 30-40% down, everything that isn't falling apart is cashflow negative.

You guys are so positive so its a pleasure to watch your videos. How to find good tenants another question after cleared with HOA. Had great tenants several years ago, hope will get lucky again :)

[@rickenbacker472]

My friend did this in the 2000s. He saved the income from his first property to put into the 2nd, etc. Property prices were booming at the time so he could roll that equity into the next property. When the financial crisis hit in 2008 I would assume he had a couple of million euros in mortgage debt across 10+ properties, with a very low equity position. The property prices in our city (non-US) dropped by around 30% and he was totally and completely wiped out. He lost his own home, his cars, his wife walked out, and he basically cracked mentally and had a kind of breakdown. 16 years later and he still lives back in his childhood home with his mother, a broken man. So by all means, follow the same pattern if you want that 'passive income' (it isn't passive btw) and capital gains. But don't pretend it's low risk, because while the upside can be good if the stars align in your favour, the downsides of the extreme leveraged debt are very real.

[@rog9601]

Educational video on the topic, it is exactly what I wanted to know. It looks like the channel has some other nice topics too and I am looking forward to hearing them. Note to whoever is editing this video and controlling the zooming in and out-it is very bizarre, we know why you are doing that and don't do it. Not only is it unnecessary but it is distracting as well. Perhaps this was one of Ken and Danille's first videos, and they tried too hard (or did not think about it at all) on the layout or set up, I am sure they will get better with feedback. Their topics are spot on.

[@crazy3rdgen]

What approach do you guys prefer? Paying cash for SFH's at a good deal? Maximize leverage and accumulate as fast as you can? Fourplex? Multi?

[@MeltingRubberZ28]

The rule of thumb is the more units you can get in a building the more profitable it will be. Naturally there are exceptions to the rule. Cash would be "safe" in case of nonpayment but leverage (loans) will always increase the ceiling of how much you can get to.
