30% Cash-on-Cash Returns on “Undesirable” Properties with Scadi Etienne
Scadi Etienne is one of the most INSPIRING real estate investors in the game, earning eye-popping returns while serving as a compassionate landlord to his low-income tenants.
Born in Brooklyn to an immigrant mother, Scadi’s family was evicted 8 times throughout his childhood. Despite those challenges, he excelled in school and joined the military, where he discovered the transformative power of real estate investing.
In this episode, Scadi shares his unique "human first" approach to investing in C- and D-class properties, emphasizing the importance of understanding and connecting with tenants from similar backgrounds. He discusses his strategies for finding deals, building relationships with wholesalers, and navigating the challenges of investing in New York and Baltimore.
Scadi also talks about:
- Why he ate tuna fish EVERY DAY for 6 months after buying a condo (despite having 6-figures saved!)
- The CRAZY appreciation on his Bed-Stuy 3-Family (now worth over $2 million)
- His secret to being INSANELY selective and only doing 30% cash-on-cash deals
- Why compassion is his secret weapon in the dog-eat-dog world of real estate investing
- Why he REFUSES to raise money from others (and how newbies get burned)
Books Mentioned:
- Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
- Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki
- The Bible
