  • April 2025 “Upside” Update: Making a BIG Change to My Portfolio (Cashing Out)

    April 2025 “Upside” Update: Making a BIG Change to My Portfolio (Cashing Out)
    Apr 2 2025
    Over the past month, I’ve decided to make a big move that will greatly affect my real estate portfolio. This was a decision I made after seeing severe weakness in the market and realizing it was time to put my money where my mouth is. For months, I’ve been talking about the “upside” era strategy of real estate investing—the theory that now is a great time to buy as real estate is primed to experience significant upsides in the future, making investors rich. I’m doubling down on this due to market volatility—and in today’s episode, I’m sharing exactly where I’m putting my money. I made a move that most investors would caution against, but I ran the numbers (many times) and am confident in what I decided to do. Part of my plan is to move money out of riskier assets with potentially lower returns and into assets that I’m confident will generate stronger returns. This is something EVERYONE (yes, even you) should be thinking about NOW to build long-term wealth in the future. I’ve got two places I’m planning on putting the money from making this move. One will allow me to capitalize on future real estate deals, the other will guarantee me a minimum of a 6.5% return—and that’s just the floor of the return. I’m putting the “upside” strategy into play now, and if you’re feeling the same way about the economy as I am, you should, too! In This Episode We Cover: The big move I made and why I’m cashing out of some investments to fuel others How I’m getting a guaranteed MINIMUM 6.5% return with this big investing move Rental properties I’m looking for right now that have the highest “upside” potential Three things every investor should do right now to ensure they capitalize on the “upside” era Key indicators that the stock market is significantly overvalued (and what I did with my stocks) And So Much More!

  • Making $60K Per Month with the Repeatable, Low-Risk Real Estate “Formula”

    Making $60K Per Month with the Repeatable, Low-Risk Real Estate “Formula”
    Mar 31 2025
    Today’s guest makes $60,000 per MONTH the old-fashioned real estate investing way. He buys rentals you can find on any real estate listing site, uses his own money to invest, doesn’t need “creative financing” techniques to fund the deal, and treats his tenants well. This is a real estate portfolio anyone can repeat, and it has made Welby Accely a multimillionaire in just over a decade, even after he lost everything (three times!). In a time when every real estate guru is trying to get you into the lowest-money-down deal with the most risk and the shallowest margins, Welby takes it the whole other direction. His simple offer “formula” allows him to buy properties under market value, fix them up, get them rented, and refinance out to create an “infinite return.” Basically the BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) strategy, but EVEN safer. How does he find rentals that are (almost) always worth more than what he pays for them? Welby says, “Every deal is a flip,” meaning if you buy rentals like a flipper would, your profit margins massively multiply, and you reap huge financial benefits. Welby is a REAL real estate investor, giving you a real strategy you can use in 2025, even with high interest rates. The question is, will you take advantage of it like Welby did? In This Episode We Cover Welby’s unbeatable “offer formula” to get discounted real estate deals with HUGE equity upside Why Welby believes every investment is a “flip” and how it’s made him millions How to find real estate deals ON-MARKET by simply browsing listing sites and activating notifications Why Welby always puts more money down on his properties (and it pays him back BIG time) What you can offer (that isn’t money) to get a seller to accept your bid And So Much More!

  • Housing Market Shift: Inventory Catapults Back, Buying Opportunities Grow

    Housing Market Shift: Inventory Catapults Back, Buying Opportunities Grow
    Mar 28 2025
    Home prices are falling fast in some prime real estate markets across the country while others remain stubbornly stuck. What’s the defining factor between a stable housing market and one where sellers are actively cutting prices? Housing inventory! This metric defined the 2020 - 2022 run-up in home prices, but the rubber band of demand is snapping back as buyer power grows, housing inventory rises, and investors get even better buying opportunities. Remember when people said, “I’ll buy when prices drop”? Well, now might be the time. ResiClub’s Lance Lambert joins us to provide a holistic view of housing inventory, prices, demand, and emerging opportunities. Lance walks through the most up-to-date data on where housing inventory is rising fast, where prices are quickly declining, and which markets are holding on as sellers remain in control. We’ll also talk about why homebuilding costs are about to JUMP and the reason Warren Buffett sold his homebuilding stocks shortly after buying them. Will construction slow down, limiting new inventory and leading us back into ultra-low supply? If so, this could push home prices higher, creating a prime opportunity for real estate investors. In This Episode We Cover: Is spiking inventory a worrying sign for the housing market, or are we merely normalizing? What to look at in your housing market to forecast whether prices will rise or fall Why are homebuilding costs about to JUMP, and could this lead to even more inventory problems? The new housing trend: Older renters, but could this mean more demand for rentals? And So Much More! Links from the Show Join BiggerPockets for FREE Let Us Know What You Thought of the Show!

  • The Ultimate Underrated Rental Property of 2025 (for Small Investors)

    The Ultimate Underrated Rental Property of 2025 (for Small Investors)
    Mar 26 2025
    What’s the best rental property for the average investor? It’s not a single-family rental, it’s not a large apartment building, it’s not even a duplex or a triplex—it’s a “sweet spot” small multifamily. These investment properties, ranging from five to 25 units, make more money, are easier to manage, and help you scale faster to achieve financial freedom. Even large multifamily investing experts like Brian Burke are ditching the huge apartment complexes to buy these. But what makes these small multifamily investment properties so much better than their bigger and smaller counterparts? We’re discussing the massive investing opportunities in 2025 for these properties with Brian today and how new investors and those looking for a manageable portfolio can leverage these properties to reach financial freedom. These types of properties are still experiencing low prices with limited competition, which means that if you know about them, you already have an advantage. How long do we have until multifamily prices rebound and these investments become out of reach for regular investors? How do you analyze a small multifamily property to ensure it makes you monthly passive income? Brian shares his wisdom and gives an exact timeline for when it may be too late to buy. In This Episode We Cover: The rental property “sweet spot” for more income and fewer headaches Why it’s easier to own multifamily than single-family homes The multifamily real estate crash and why prices are LOW right now How to analyze small multifamily before you buy and which expenses most new investors forget What makes a “good” small multifamily real estate deal in 2025 And So Much More!

  • 13 Rental Units with a “Rinse and Repeat” Investing Method

    13 Rental Units with a “Rinse and Repeat” Investing Method
    Mar 24 2025
    This investor built a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio with low-money-down loans and little cash-to-close. Thanks to his smart “rinse and repeat” strategy, he’s quickly scaled from zero to 13 rental units in just four years, all while collecting thousands of dollars of cash flow a month. He would have never been able to get to this place if he hadn’t followed a strategy many investors are too scared to try. Mike Johnson knew the best way to take bigger career risks was to have a backup plan. The ultimate passive income plan? Rental properties. But he didn’t want to put 20% to 25% down on each property he bought, so he started where many investors do—house hacking. Four years later, he’s continued his repeatable house hacking strategy, purchasing a new property every year, living in one unit, and renting out the others. This has allowed Mike to build a portfolio worth $3.4 million in just four years while buying in B+ or A-class neighborhoods and taking home a healthy amount of cash flow. But he has dealt with his fair share of headaches—squatters, non-paying tenants, and a lot of purple paint. Mike still says investing has been a massive win for him, and you can repeat his same strategy! In This Episode We Cover: How to start investing in real estate with little money using the house hacking strategy Why your primary residence IS an investment (and a phenomenal one at that) The biggest mistake Mike made that led to him buying a property with a squatter in the unit The new 5% down multifamily loan you can use to buy bigger, better, more expensive properties The cash flow AND appreciation market Mike is bullish on (and keeps investing in) When to self-manage vs. hire property management for your rentals And So Much More!

  • March 2025 Housing Market Update: Are Price Declines Coming?

    March 2025 Housing Market Update: Are Price Declines Coming?
    Mar 21 2025
    The housing market saw significant “softening” in February, with inventory rising, demand shrinking, and buyers regaining more control while sellers find themselves in a tough position. Why is this happening now, especially as mortgage rates continue to dip? With recession fears and economic tensions running high, Americans worry what’s coming next, causing much of the economy to shift. With price declines already happening in some markets and more potentially on the horizon, when is the right time to buy? We’re back with a March 2025 housing market update, going over what’s happening in the national housing market, which states are seeing the hottest (and coldest) housing demand, what’s going on with mortgage interest rates, and why the market is noticeably softening. But the real question remains: How can YOU continue building wealth while others fear the worst? Is this your “be greedy when others are fearful” moment? Dave is giving his take and sharing how he’s tailoring his own investing strategy in 2025. Find investor-friendly tax and financial experts with BiggerPockets Tax & Financial Services Finder! In This Episode We Cover: Why the housing market is starting to noticeably “soften” in 2025 Hottest/coldest housing markets in the United States with the most/least inventory Are price declines coming? Whether we’ll end this year with negative price growth Why mortgage rates are dropping, but housing demand isn’t rising Why real estate could be the “First In, First Out” investment of 2025’s wild economy Whether or not now is the time to buy and what could cause a reversal of these worrying trends And So Much More!

    How to Unlock Your Home’s Hidden Passive Income Stream (ADUs 101)
    Mar 19 2025
    There’s a hidden passive income stream in your basement, backyard, or garage, and only one investing strategy can unlock it. More and more homeowners and landlords are using this strategy to pay their mortgages, pad their pockets with cash flow, and increase their home values significantly. Of course, we’re talking about ADUs (accessory dwelling units), the rental properties that states are begging you to build, and you can do so right now with the home you already own. To help you affordably (and profitably) build your first ADU, we brought on Derek Sherrell, AKA That ADU Guy, to give you the beginner steps to your first attached (or detached) investment. We’re walking through which properties have the best ADU opportunity, how much an ADU costs to build or convert, how much an ADU will make, how to fund and finance your first ADU, and how Derek builds an ADU from scratch in just 90 days! Derek often makes an infinite return on his ADU investments, and he’s teaching you how to do the same! If you’re in an expensive state like California, Oregon, or Washington, this strategy is even more effective as you can collect more rent AND do so without local regulations slowing down your ADU progress! In This Episode We Cover: How much an ADU costs to build, and the wild returns Derek is making in 2025 The most affordable ADU conversion that will boost your property’s cash flow Three crucial beginner tips when designing and building your first ADU How to finance your ADU conversion/build and why Derek loves HELOCs Best states for building ADUs and who to call BEFORE you decide to build And So Much More!

    Building HUGE Equity With 100% Hands-Off Investing
    Mar 17 2025
    House flipping can make you wealthy. Everyone has seen the TV shows, podcast interviews, and the high-priced renovations, even in their own neighborhoods. But what if where you live is WAY too expensive to flip houses? The home costs are high, the labor costs are high, and underpriced, outdated homes are hard to find. Thankfully, you’re not out of luck. Today, we’re teaching you how to flip houses from a distance, even thousands of miles away! Dominique Gunderson is currently flipping 12 houses from 2,000 miles away. Yes, it’s possible (and profitable), and Dominique has made it her full-time business. As a Los Angeles native, Dominique couldn’t afford anything in her home market, but through visiting family in New Orleans, she realized it was the perfect place to flip. So, she slowly started scaling a team that would allow her to be anywhere in the world while she ran her business. In only her mid-twenties, she’s been able to build a team that takes care of the renovations and rehabs for her while she handles finding the deals and getting the funding. Today, she’s teaching you how to do the same: build your out-of-state team, scale the right way, and when (and how) to delegate so you don’t do all the work. She’s even breaking down her profit margins and revealing how much you can actually make flipping in affordable markets. In This Episode We Cover: How to flip houses anywhere (and FROM anywhere!) without doing the work yourself How much long-distance flips can make you in 2025 (Dominique’s profit margins) Building your boots-on-the-ground team to handle renovations for you When to flip vs. hold and signs a flip should become your next rental property The secret to scaling your team so you can do less work and make more money And So Much More!
