Top 5 takeaways from The Book on Rental Property Investing:
00:00 Intro
00:50 1. Why you should become a rental property investor
02:35 2. Why you shouldn’t become a rental property investor
04:44 3. The four wealth generators
07:09 4. What makes a good deal?
09:45 5. How do I find good deals?
TL;DW:
- Rental property investing has many upsides, such as the ability to use leverage and the ability to hustle for your returns, buuuut …
- … rental property investing also comes with its own downsides, such as the fact that the wealth building process takes a considerable amount of time, and that you’ll have to deal with difficult people
- Rental property investing generates wealth through appreciation, cash flow, tax advantages and loan paydown
- A good deal is one where you have a positive cash flow, preferably as high of a CoCROI as possible
- Look for properties with problems that are easy to fix, but that scare away the competition, nonetheless. Your future bank account will thank you for it.
My goal with this channel is to help you make more money and improve your personal finances. How to become a millionaire? There are many ways to get there - investing in the stock market, becoming a stock trader, doing real estate investing, or why not becoming an entrepreneur? But whether you are interested in how to invest in stocks or investing strategies for creating passive income with rental properties - I hope to be able to provide you with a solution (or at least an idea) here. Warren Buffett - the greatest investor of our time - says that you should fill your mind with competing ideas and then see what makes sense to you. This channel is about filling your mind with those ideas. And in the process - upgrading your money-making toolbox.

Their is a housing bubble...well actually there is an everything bubble at the minute. However it may continue for a long time. Inflation and low interest rates says holding debt is good as long as you can service it. If you don't own then i'd suggest buying and living in it with flat mates that way you are hedged somewhat.

[@Phantomyre]

A bad roof is subjective for a 'good deal'. Depending on where you live, if there's a ton of rain for example, a bad roof that leaks is usually something you want to avoid because it often comes with mold, which is expensive to replace. It means you can have molding walls and floor, and now you're not just replacing the roof, you're also replacing anything that came into contact with that leak. Sometimes it means condemning the entire house if there is black mold. So just use your discretion.

@@jartagniancopria1120 True some alternative revenue streams r good

[@Erikpdx]

If you're looking at your return on investment and comparing it to the stock market, I think you have to include the equity growth over time, including appreciation. I calc my return at 25-30%. it's also very relevant to note that for investment property loans you normally have to put down 20%. If you have any equity in your primary residence, you can refinance with a cash out to get the down payment on your second home

[@UwUPLAYZ.]

have u done it or just calculating it? =)

[@Erikpdx]

@@UwUPLAYZ. I've got 2 rentals with positive cash flow and a couple multiples on my investment over the last 8 years. Granted, housing market had been good since 2012. But if you have a 5% growth in price, and 4:1 leverage on your cash with the banks loan, that's 20% return before positive cash flow.

[@gabrieldib418]

What software do you use to create the animation? Thanks!

[@mateusdella]

I think that make a comparation between stock returns and real state returns are difficult, we need to considerate that this level of leverage you can just find in real state, so your return must be way bigger and your risk Aswell because you are using the money or someone else money.

[@patek92]

@@Zoetherat why he needs to buy when Swedish Investor said well enough?

[@Zoetherat]

@@patek92 Because there's a lot of information in the books, and because it's a big investment in money with a lot of risk if you don't know what you're doing. There are lots of ways that you can screw it up, and there are lots of people out there who have been ruined by bad real estate investments. I read lots of books before i bought a rental property, as well as reading blogs and listening to podcasts, and i still almost made some big mistakes because those resources can't teach you everything and can't prepare you for everything. I've owned the property for a year now and i'm still a novice. Going out and buying a house because you watched a 13 minute video would be flat out stupid. I don't understand why anyone would think that would be a good idea.

[@cato451]

I tried to be a passive income landlord for almost five years. it was a disaster. after all expenses, capital improvements, and lost income between renters it was a loss. it is a choice that doesn’t work for me. i am far more adept at generating passive income in the stock market. I am glad I tried it though. Now I know.

[@wildtill9]

Rental properties are not easy, they are not hands off (if you want to make a decent profit) and they are not for everyone. Too many are sold with the idea of sit back and watch the money pour in But if you do your own repairs and management you can make a strong return on your investment

1. Book that most recommend is "the intelligent investor"

[@Zoetherat]

Depends on the type of investing. I think "the index card" is a good general personal finance book, even if I don't agree with all of it. I love "the richest man in babylon" as an abstract personal finance book. I like Brandon turners books for real estate. I don't know stock market investing so I can't give advice there, but Warren buffets biography is an excellent read.

If you only want to invest in rental properties then why not buy real estate investment trusts (REITS) that is also available in India also and you can also invest it globally. Moreover, it is managed by the professional Management which has very long track record of managing these kinds of properties. Now the big foreign institutional investors have recognise the potential of rental properties and huge amount of money will come in this area through REITS which will wipe out small rental PLAYERS.
