What To Know if You Want To Get Into Real Estate

[@lkj0822g]

One thing I will add to Dave's comment about establishing multiple LLCs and liability, you MUST run them as their own stand alone entity. There is a concept called "Piercing the Corporate Veil", which simply means that lawyers will look for activities that they can use to get their foot in the door into your other LLCs and/or your personal finances. Example, you have multiple properties each as their own LLC, but you run everything through one checking account.

[@random-ig6tp]

Not only that lawyers can go after the owners of the LLC.. an strong umbrella insurance policy is better than a LLC

[@rm5282]

Well stated.

[@Anonyme67]

I swear Dave Nailed it. When I started in real estate I bought a duplex in lower income area. There was fighting shouting and damages to my property. I sold it and I started investing in only single home in class B and A- neighborhoods. So far good experience

[@georgeford6439]

A displaced Texan here in Florida in a college town. San Antone should be a good rental market if ur leaning that way. We usually rent to students/grad students. We've not had any problems and / or missed rent, even during the pandemic. We have our tenants sign with a real estate attorney and have never had any issues. Parents sign as guarantors if needed as well. FYI, if you do LLC, all transactions must be kept separate from your personal accounts. If you stay sole proprietorship, you can mix funds as needed, but make sure you carry a good umbrella policy on top of standard insurance.

[@mannya_realtor]

It’s a great idea to have an LLC for each property, in Dave’s case - up to 5 million dollars worth. This was a HUGE Takeaway for listeners. Thank you, Dave!

[@FailureatRetirement]

Great advice. Newer single family in good neighborhoods is where it’s at for me. I hired a great property manager, they pay for themselves and it’s about as passive as it gets.

[@faerydae29]

Guess who else wants those newer single family houses in nice neighborhoods? First time home buyers!!! That way they can actually start their life. Stop being so d*mn greedy and get a real job. You’re part of the problem!

[@Josh-lp2ng]

All of our rental properties are over 100 years old (mostly semi-commercial 3-5 plex) and they are super solid buildings. Yes they require maintenance but so does a newer building, and I have no doubt that they will last longer and age better than any new construction put out today. They’re historical, architecturally beautiful stone buildings.

[@aliciaz4682]

Agreed. You also need to know the construction of the area. Where I am from a house built in the 70’s is WAY better built than those in the 2000’s

[@Teamshmo]

I am happy guys like Dave can counter all the scams out there. He has actually done this and knows with first hand experience on how it is gonna go. The 25yrs guy on social media who has probably never even owned a property on his own has no clue what is gonna happen. He may have bought one in 2020, had it go up in value, and sold it for a profit, but that isn't how it is always gonna be. There are huge problems that can happen and when using debt those problems are magnified. Understand all the risks associated with whatever you do and your current skills

[@jasonjosephlee]

Buy in areas that are growing and never stop buying. I own over 100 rentals in San Diego and the best advice I can give anyone, is to start with a duplex and just keep trading up. It takes sacrifice and time but there's nothing like owning rentals.

[@rickdunn3863]

Who cares what people say. The IRS looks at it as PASSIVE income, and that's why it's an awsome income stream. Don't forget rental houses have a 27 year depreation. Commercial buildings have 39 year depreation. Try getting these benefits with stocks.

[@penguingobrrbrr353]

Most peoplle dont trash rental properties. These who do that are not so many IMO

[@dontich]

So I ran the numbers last month - if you just look at home appreciation and stock appreciation and ignore both dividends and cash return the stock market has averaged 10% while RE has averaged 2% since 1950. The RE returns are about 1/5 the variance though - so if you get a 5:1 mortgage, you would be roughly be matching the market over the long term

[@ethanshy280]

How can you ignore cash flow for paid off real estate? They’re not talking about primary residences here. Real estate and depreciation are the largest part of rentals. Plus if you buy quality real estate it will be way better than 2%. Terrible comparison. You get an F in research. Please retake the course.

[@Piccolo_Re]

Cash flow is what investing is all about. Building up your asset column. Several wealthy people I know has massive asset columns: real estate, royalties, patents. They could care less about ROI from stocks.

[@gutsandgrittv5076]

I flipped a lot but now I buy and hold as well. I don’t miss flipping. For me, I had to move every 2 years to a new small town. And small towns don’t like newcomers as a rule. It gave me thick skin, yes, but it wasn’t fun. Not a nice lifestyle but the money was good. Money isn’t everything and there were very dry times. Picture living in rubble, then soon as its nice, you sell, then do that over and over again.🥴

[@tstanley01]

The good news about paying cash, is that it is really easy to get something to cash flow...

[@kateribeiro3636]

We invest in nice residential properties in high appreciation markets. They start cash-flowing after 2-3 years and appreciate in value 5-10% per year. I only want to deal with classy tenants and so far it’s been great. My husband always tells me to focus on cheaper run down properties but I can’t handle problematic tenants. I’d rather get into commercial or multi-family as the next step. Has anyone invested in boutique hotels, self-storage? What’s been your experience?

[@faerydae29]

[@lonmidwest5363]

I like the hassle free of investments instead of rental and at 58 with no debt is just more free time.

[@TonyCox1351]

I’m with you, I don’t begrudge anyone for investing in real estate, I have plenty of friends who make money do it. But I prefer passive investing, I don’t want the headache of dealing with tenants. If that means I retire with a little less than I otherwise could have, I’ll still have enough to live comfortably

Ive lived in really old homes and brand new ones. Its the 20-50ish year old homes that scare me. New homes.. even with a reputable builder. You don't know what they messed up. And i promise you they did. At about 20-30 years it starts becoming obvious to everyone what it was. The house settling pattern starts showing up. So you have an idea where the future problem areas are. By 30 or 40, the houses first major problem has likely happened. And that settling gets worse. By the time you get into the 60s & 70s homes. Whatever settling was going to occur has largely happened. Thats not to say more won't. Its just you probably went through the worst of it in such a short period. What you might have to worry about now is large shifting patterns. Like.. 100 or 500 year weather patterns flooding the basement and cracking the foundation. So.. rareer but more extreme problems. But the other quirk of homes this age is.. likely people of all skill levels have owned the home... and someone fixed something.. or everything.. in a very weird way that makes no sense. 😂 That was my first home. Id wake up to do a project i thought would take a couple hours. Find something completely bazaar. And spend the whole weekend fixing it. 😂 Houses are fun.

If you invest in mutual funds, isn’t the money stuck in them until you retire? Whereas real estate you instantly have that profit accessible? I just don’t understand Dave’s advice on paying cash for rental properties. How can an average person just have a few hundred thousand laying around to buy a rental. At my rate I would be in my 70s or 80s by the time I would have cash for buying a rental. I feel like Dave’s advice is for people who are rich already and have insanely high paying jobs.

Mutual funds can be sold anytime you have a 24 hour wait to get the cash, Real estate has the cash flow with tenant but difficult to sell compared to mutual funds. Average people don't typically invest in real estate.

I had a rental property for about 4 years, while I took a job in another state, and it was originally my primary residence, so it wasnt purchased with the intent of renting it out. It was in a solid middle class neighborhood, so rent was high. I had good tenants the whole time. Once the market rebounded in 2013, I sold it. I wouldnt go back to owning rental property, as it is just a headache overall, as you need to upkeep it, and be ready when something goes wrong.
