He owns millions of dollars in real estate. Tells you how he did it very vaguely as far as real estate. Earned it off of books, radio, and other forms of media. Awesome guy. Trying to paying off my home now.

[@jamisonmunn9215]

The first million is the hardest needs to be researched further. I have heard so many stories on how it took 30 years to get to that first million. Then from $1 to $5 million took a decade but by then all the processes and experience is already in place. Notice how Dave has been in real estate forever and even went bankrupt doing real estate but in the 2008 when real estate crashed he said he was able to purchase $100 million in real estate for $15 million. He could only do that because he had the cash available from those previous mistakes and he knew in 2008 with his then income and being able to pay cash for the properties it was a good investment.

[@1967davethewave]

$1 million is just a number. What if you were shooting for $750k? Then you could say it was hard to reach and the second $750 was easier maybe?

someone would have to have some amazing investments and or get a massive income increase to go from 1-5m in 10 years. 1-3m is probably more realistic but yeah i totally agree with everything you said

[@roseother8306]

2008 was 20 years after he filed bankruptcy. He accumulated more than $15 million by then - spent that much on real estate.

[@blackspiderman1887]

So far what i heard is "after I went bankrupt a returned to real estate. I eventually started making 100k a year. Then i started another business in radio/advertising where i was losing money" however I didnt really hear everything after that. So either he saved for 10 years + to get a million or he substantially increased his income but it wasnt through real estate. So it must have been when he started selling financial peace where the money started coming in. So what lesson do we learn kids. Eventually your income will probably cap out at your job. So you to make it into the multi million category, you need to start selling a product people will use on a large scale. In Daves case, His Financial peace University. Of course you need to have money in the bank to do that.

[@bryanwestover9357]

Sounds like he started into financial advice with "don't mess up like I did."

To be fair Dave would say find the career for which you are passionate and talented. So if you do take that advice and excel in your field you will naturally earn more, and hopefully way before retirement.

[@bellmattwebb]

Dave's plan works for almost everyone and that's the point. This advice is not for the three percent that are going to be wildly successful anyway. It's for the other 97%. Take it for what it is.

[@hardchooligan]

Dave says himself many times if your goal is to be a multi billionaire you need to do more than this,that type of wealth involves an invention or starting your own business. But for the average person who wants to get control of their finances and live very comfortably this is a good framework. Nice job acting like he hasn't addressed this though 👍

[@johnathanbolin5539]

He did borrow money... He's made that clear

[@roseother8306]

He said it. He would look for properties, negotiate and get them under contract, sell them to someone with the money to buy and do the work - who would make even more money. In other words, he flipped houses.

[@ASLunar]

@@roseother8306 Without borrowing money? So he acquired houses in cash without being a millionaire? I think that's OP's point. It sounds like he went into debt to get those houses.

[@LegDayLas]

@@roseother8306 You can't flip houses without SOMEONE fronting the bill. He still used other peoples money to get rich the second time, because that's what it takes to get as rich as he is, and that's just fact.

[@jenniferelkins]

The only thing I don't understand is why the $1000 emergency fund hasn't been updated in all this time. It might have been perfectly adequate in the 80's and 90's, but these days you can't fix a broken down car for $1000, let alone buy another one if it completely craps out. A furnace for your house is thousands of dollars. Even one paycheck's worth of expenses while you transition to a new job or apply for unemployment is more than $1000.

[@LegDayLas]

His response to this was along the lines of "$1000 wasn't enough back in the 80's either, it is just a small buffer that helps build good habits" The real reason it has not been adjusted for inflation? $1000 is a nice neat number, and Dave is a stick in the mud boomer that doesn't like change.

[@Worldwide20222]

It’s just a starter emergency fund but his advice is to build it further after completing step 2. So the actual emergency fund needs to be 6x your monthly expenses when you’re done with paying off debt

[@wza223-fo3mc]

really its more about personal wins than anything. Saving $1,000 is quick and easy and keeps you motivated to pay off your actual debt!

Bible also says "pay to Cesar what belongs to Cesar". Meaning, use the tax benefits when legal. Live within your means or below. Be giving, kind and loving. You cant help others in their boat when you boat is in the brink of sinking.

[@1967davethewave]

The bible says "Render unto Cesar what it Cesar's and render unto God what is God's" and it means that money and taxes are controlled by man but your soul should be given to God. It doesn't mean to use tax benefits or anything else. Jesus said this to his followers to keep from getting in trouble with the Roman rulers at the time.

He was speaking about wholesaling real estate, not being a realtor. You don’t even need a realtors license to do it, but you’re seen as a shady person because you are taking advantage of another’s misfortune. His example is simple but accurate. You are being paid to find good deals for investors, not realtors or single family buyers.

Very helpful to hear Daves story

[@momanslm6289]

The $1,000 came from Larry Burkett whom Dave never credits. The purpose was to cover those Emergencies but why only $1k? Because back when Larry was starting out that $1k covered most all insurance deductibles and often still left money for a tire and groceries. The principle still holds true today. If you have an emergency, use the fund to pay for it, stop all extra payments until you rebuild the $1k fund, then go back to attacking the smallest debt - which I believe was another staple of Burkett’s teaching before Dave even went bust.

[@BigJohnM]

Dave never said follow the baby steps and get 300 million like me. Following the baby steps gets you to be a everyday millionaire, nothing fancy, not super rich. Freedom with finances. If you want to get super rich you need to do more. The difference between Dave's advice and other people's advice.... This is not a get rich scheme or some scam. This works for nearly everyone and it gets you to financial freedom.

[@jaredbenbow3900]

For the most part I agree with much of what Dave says but where he suggests if you are broke your first dollar should go towards an emergency fund instead of a 401k when an employer match is on the table doesn’t add up mathematically. He’s worried about a 30 or 40% penalty if you have to access your 401 early when there is a 100% penalty for not getting an employer match. In other words if I contribute $1 to my 401 and my employer matches $1 I now have $2. If I need to get my dollar out then I lose 40% of that dollar but I still have $1.60 compared to just having $1. Point is get your employer match

Wonderful Flashback! A learning experience.

[@wangarizipp6679]

I left Paying off the house off the list, because i like to see money in my account😌 but Paying off other debts is soo satisfying.

[@TheBen117]

I don’t agree with putting off 401k if there’s a match… once vested (at my company it was only after 3 years) you’re way better off. Even if the investments don’t gain, you doubled your money. And in that case, it’s a great safety net because even though you have to pay taxes and a penalty, you’re pulling from DOUBLE what you would have had otherwise. I just looked at my fidelity, employee contributions are $8k and employer is $8k, so I have 16k fully vested… there’s no investment vehicle that would give that return.

[@TruthBtold81]

[@yourmarketingbuddy20]

[@calledout4437]

The one thing I don't mind debt on is a vehicle. When you look at the life of the loan and how much you pay in interest. It's really not that much. Not like a house where you pay double the mortgage.

[@1981lashlarue]

Be careful though because so many get sucked into that mentality and it comes back to haunt them. So many middle class people have gotten themselves in trouble with a $50k salary and buying a $35k car thinking they can handle the payments. Until they get laid off, their job downsized, or they unexpectedly became sick. It's best to pay cash for a car. Think of how much extra you can stockpile for emergencies and/or retirement by not having a car payment? I can't begin to describe the feeling and freedom that comes with my home and car being paid for. I know that no matter what happens, they're not getting repossessed or foreclosed on.

[@linuxsurfer2002]

They didn't exist yet - if you watch the video you will hear him say they "lived on nothing", paid off their house, drove junk cars, did not go on vacation, and piled up cash. The baby steps are actually less intense than what they went through.

Ahmad Abdelqader I know we won't have proof but Dave is really smooth and good on his feet. His response to this question? Not at all. I'm not saying he's a fraud and I find his advice useful but I think he isn't admitting he had some form of help. Even on $100k/yr you don't get rich anytime soon taxes, groceries (beens and rice exclusively even), childcare costs, whatever. There aint a lot left over after that, even if you are as frugal as Dave here purports to be.

@@jessefunk3986 You forgot, Nashville was really cheap back in the day, so his 100K was a lot of money

[@MWebb-de9pq]

Correct me if I'm wrong. After bankruptcy, Dave would close contracts then sell them assuming someone was lined up to buy it. If there wasn't a buyer then he'd be stuck with the contract. So he assumed the risk, just never fell through.

[@Chiefbadbruuuuuh]

It’s called Real estate wholesaling.

[@MWebb-de9pq]

@@Chiefbadbruuuuuh but if Dave couldn't find a buyer then he would be stuck holding the bag correct? Without the actual cash to cover it should he not find a buyer or buyer backs out, how is it any different than borrowing?

[@Chiefbadbruuuuuh]

@@MWebb-de9pq so most wholesalers have a whole network of buyers (investors) that are ready to buy a flip or something he gets under contract. You advertise the contract while you’re in the inspection period, and if there’s no buyer, you just terminate after the inspection period. Most real estate contracts are written “buyer friendly,” so it’s probably easy to get out of a contract for him back then.

[@Chiefbadbruuuuuh]

@@MWebb-de9pq but, he was probably very successful at it because he knew a lot of investors and flippers.
