BiggerPockets Daily 79: 8 Steps to Buying Your First Rental Property by Brandon Turner

Imagine a world where you didn’t have to wake up early every day or drive to work or make some other company super wealthy. And then be forced to rely on government, Social Security, and maybe 50 year s of retirement savings just to squeak by in the last few years of your life. What if you could have the opposite? ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 78: Millionaire Spending Habits To Master—No Matter Your Income by Whitney Hutten

Tell me what you think of when you envision a self-made millionaire? Someone who spends lavishly on cars, homes, and vacations, sipping piña coladas on the beach without a care in the world? As a l ittle kid, I used to envision that. Fast forward a few years (OK, decades). I finally came to understand that if my goal was to really to become a self-made millionaire, I’d have to start taking the actions they took. ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 77: 3 Things You Need to Do After Closing on a Rental Property by Matt Faircloth

Let’s talk about a topic that doesn’t get enough press. While there have been tons of books, videos, webinars, boot camps, and more all highlighting and glamorizing the finding, funding, and closing o f real estate deals, there is the behind the scenes part of the apartment building team that hardly ever gets mentioned: the asset manager. After the champagne is poured, it’s the asset manager that rolls up his or her sleeves and begins the implementation of the business plan. In truth, it’s long before the sale is finalized that the asset manager is working behind the scenes, making sure that the plan is ready to go on the first day of ownership. “Time is money” is an understatement in the multifamily space, and it’s the asset manager that makes sure time is on your side. ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 76: The No. 1 Way to Keep Tenants Happy by Andrew Syrios

A prospective tenant might very well fall in love with a house or apartment before signing the lease. They may move in as happy as clam. But after a while, that sheen will wear off. Soon enough, th eir only experience with their property manager and/or landlord, aside from basic updates, is that once a month you take their money. This, of course, is not the best way to win someone's heart. ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 75: How Much Cash Flow Should Rentals Make? by Brandon Turner

Alright so, a buddy of mine texted me and said, “Hey, Brandon! I’ve got this real estate deal I want to buy and it should produce between $100 and $200 per month in cash flow. Is that a good deal? Wha t do you think?” Basically, $100 to $200 per month is something people oftentimes hear me say. ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 74: Where Investors Are Buying Down South in 2020 (& Why It’s a Solid Bet) by Kathy Fettke

It's no coincidence that so many real estate investors have chosen to buy in the Dallas metropolitan area. Its population is exploding, the job market is continuing to grow, and the cost of living and housing is relatively affordable. Located in Northern Texas, Dallas is part of the fourth largest metropolitan area by GDP in the United States. The metro includes Dallas, Fort Worth, and Arlington, Texas. ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 73: Warning: Why You Shouldn’t Buy What the Gurus Are Selling by Andrew Syrios

As the United States goes through what is possibly the most divisive election in ages, we find ourselves in (needless to say) very partisan times. Indeed, one poll found that a full 61% of Americans b elieve we are on “the verge of Civil War.” This is certainly hyperbole. But if “divided we fall” has any truth to it, we are certainly falling. Added to these tensions is a pandemic that is driving more and more small businesses out of business and keeping many people unemployed. At the same time, wage growth is slow and income and wealth inequality continue to increase (even if the statistics given are often misleading or exaggerated. And every metric of partisan division—most notably my Facebook feed—is basically off the chart. ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 72: Surprisingly Simple Solutions To Collect Rent on Time Always by Remen Okoruwa

Collecting rent on time is always a significant issue for landlords to deal with. But the COVID-19 outbreak meant that it became more challenging for landlords to collect rent. Millions of people beca me jobless, meaning that they had little funds to pay rent. Although stimulus checks and extended unemployment benefits gave some respite to tenants, paying rent for millions is a significant challenge. The best solution for landlords is to find different ways to help tenants pay rent—at least part of their rent. After all, collecting rent is the lifeblood of any landlord business. Healthy cash flow means you, as a landlord, can pay your bills, mortgage, and maintain your rental properties. ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 71: Should You Focus on Older or Newer Rentals? A Look at the Pros & Cons by Erion Shehaj

In the real estate investing world, there is a collection of classic debates that are likely to remain unresolved for the foreseeable future: Flip homes for a profit or buy and hold long-term renta ls? If you go for long-term rentals, should you focus on cash flow or capital growth? Should you buy a portfolio of single-family homes or purchase multifamily apartment buildings? Pay off the debt on your investment portfolio or increase it by refinancing to add more properties? Buy properties in A and B rated locations or chase the higher returns of C and D ones? And I would add purchasing newer verse older rentals to that collection of debates. I am sure there are real estate investors supporting each side of this debate, but I wanted to try to offer an overview of the pros and cons of each property type. Then, I'll follow it up by sharing the advice I give most of my investor clients on the topic. ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 68: Where Investors Are Looking to Buy Out East by Kathy Fettke

Charlotte is the largest metropolitan area in the state of North Carolina, with nearly double the population of Raleigh and growing. In fact, around 150 people are moving to Charlotte every day. The m edian age in Charlotte is 34, as it has become a great city for young professionals. The population and culture around Charlotte is diverse because 17% of residents were born outside of the U.S. The metro area is unique because it’s relatively close to a lot of popular destinations. For the adventurers, Charlotte is just 90 minutes from the beautiful mountains of Asheville. For the beach vacationers, the city is about a three-hour drive to Myrtle Beach. Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Charleston, South Carolina, are also all within driving distance—approximately five hours away. ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 67: The 4 Main Risks of Owning Rental Properties (& How to Mitigate Them) by Ali Boone

Most would argue that the risks of owning rental properties are fairly obvious, yet you'd be surprised how many people ask me what they actually are. If you are brand new to real estate investing, it would make total sense that you might not completely understand the specific risks in a way that allows for a bigger-picture view. This is simply because you don't know what factors to look at. Or even if you aren't brand new, sometimes it's just helpful to get a very general overview of things as a way to help drill it in and help you better understand it. Before even talking about the risks, one thing you want to be very clear about when it comes to rental properties are the numbers. I didn’t know a thing about how to run numbers on a prospective rental property when I first got interested in real estate, and I’ve since learned that most people really don’t have a clue about them. ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 66: Mortgage Lending During COVID-19: What Homebuyers Need to Know by Robert Ring

As a lender, I've been asked more times than I can count how mortgage lending has changed in the wake of the coronavirus. In the early days of COVID, with shelter-in-place starting to take effect, bus inesses shutting down, and rates dropping rapidly, no one really knew what was going to happen next. Once economists could tell that this was going to have a large impact on employment numbers, naturally, they also knew that meant people wouldn't be able to pay their mortgage. Two things weighed heavily on the minds of mortgage CEOs when all of this started: How many people will stop paying their mortgage as a result of the drop in income? How many people who recently closed a loan will refinance before making 6 payments? As such, lenders began changing guidelines to reduce risk due to the chaos surrounding the U.S. economy. ... show more

How would you like to be fabulously wealthy and spend your days on a yacht drinking Champagne from a diamond-encrusted goblet? One tip: marry a Kardashian. But if you just want a better life and more freedom to spend time doing things you want to do with people you love, I’ve got another tip: Invest in real estate.
