You’ve probably pondered the idea of investing in real estate, but with today’s high prices, you might feel that it has become the exclusive territory of the wealthy. Or maybe the prospect of becoming a landlord brings more anxiety, with visions of late-night calls from tenants, water leaks, mold problems, and more.
If you look at real estate investment from a traditional perspective, your concerns are justified. But what if we told you the average person could easily accumulate a solid rental real estate portfolio that has the potential to provide an increasing income stream for the rest of your life and future generations of your family? And on top of that, it doesn’t have to be a landlord’s nightmare.
In this new episode of A Place of Possibility™, we’ll share some creative ideas to make real estate accessible to nearly everyone. And spoiler alert, you may even be able to do it with little to no money out of pocket. That 25% you have to put down is a lot of money, especially in California. We’ll share real-life examples of how you can work around those traditional lending options and show you how to be a solution for the seller and as a landlord while doing really well for yourself.
We’ll be talking about:
- Why recent changes in real estate market conditions have created opportunities that weren’t there several months ago
- How hiring a good, professional property management company can actually SAVE you money in the long run
- Several creative strategies that will allow you to avoid that high down payment and get into real estate investing once and for all
- How unique financing strategies can lead to the creation of a sizable portfolio, often without any out-of-pocket investment
And more!
Our goal with today’s episode is to give you an arsenal of somewhat unconventional tools that help you take advantage of the current real estate market and its many benefits. It may seem like a formidable landscape, but, armed with the right strategies and knowledge, we’re confident that you will be ready to jump into action right away. We look forward to sharing our insights with you, and hope you’ll share this episode with your family, friends, and anyone else who might benefit from it.
“Mortgage debt is a different animal, and it doesn't really make sense to have, you know, $2 million sitting in equity, in an apartment building doing nothing for you, maybe growing at 3% a year. Why not access that and leverage it into another property. That's going to give you a much higher rate of return in terms of rent.”
