934: How to Pay Less Taxes by Buying Real Estate (1 Write-Off You’re Overlooking) w/Brandon Hall

There’s a silent threat out there that most real estate investors have no idea about. It’s a threat that could take away all your cash flow, ruin your real estate portfolio, and put you right back to square one after years of work. And even the most seasoned investors aren’t immune to this threat—our own David Greene almost got caught in this trap and had to act quickly to escape. What’s the danger we’re discussing, and how do you ensure YOU don’t lose everything? We’re about to tell you! We’re back on another Seeing Greene as David and Rob take your real estate investing questions and give up-to-date advice on what they’d do in your situation. First, a real estate investor sees his cash flow disappear due to rising operating expenses—should he sell the property or keep a low/no cash-flowing deal? Then, we talk about the silent threat targeting real estate investors—title fraud. An investor wants to know if a low mortgage rate on a subject to deal warrants a higher price, and Rob and David debate whether investing in expensive markets is worth the cost.  Want to ask David a question? If so, submit your question here so David can answer it on the next episode of Seeing Greene. Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can jump on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot!  In This Episode We Cover: Title fraud explained and how silent thieves can steal your real estate portfolio without you even knowing it  Whether to keep, sell, or 1031 exchange a rental property that won’t cash flow  The real value of a low interest rate and why many investors get this wrong  Warning signs that your properties are being stolen out from under you  Investing in expensive markets and why we would/wouldn’t invest in states like Hawaii  And So Much More!

It seems like everyone is wondering how to find real estate deals in today’s supply-constrained market. With housing inventory still hovering around historical lows, finding a cash-flowing, appreciating rental property isn’t as easy as before. But maybe that’s just because most people don’t know where to look for these properties. In reality, there are steals and deals all around us, and if our hosts can take down home-run real estate deals in this housing market, what’s stopping you from doing it, too? So today, David Greene and Dave Meyer are giving you three ways to find your next real estate deal using both on AND off-market investing tactics. The majority of Americans ignore these tactics, and only serious or savvy investors will follow through on them. Once you know where to find these deals, the deal flow doesn’t stop. If you can master any of these three tactics, you’ll have a source of profitable investment properties streaming to you for years to come. First, we’ll show you how to find off-market deals and a few strategies you can use to locate and engage with motivated sellers. Next, we’re sharing the exact networking play to get real estate deals sent straight to you. And if you think on-market (MLS) deals are dead, you couldn’t be more wrong. David shares how he picked up an on-market luxury vacation rental for a surprisingly low price, all because he knew where to look!

Want to scale your real estate portfolio faster? These investment property loans can help. Most real estate investors get stuck early on in their journey. They buy some properties and build up some comfortable cash flow, but then…they can’t qualify for another loan. They’ve either reached the maximum limit on conventional mortgages OR don’t have enough income to qualify for bigger and better investments. So what do they do? Give up? Settle with a small rental portfolio? No, they use THESE investment property loans instead. Jeff Welgan, our investor-friendly lender expert, is back to show us what we’ve been missing. From DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loans that help you scale to more doors, to no-income-necessary investor loans that don’t look at your income, to business bank statement loans that’ll let you buy homes based on your business’s cash flow, these mortgages can help anyone in any position, purchase real estate faster. If your DTI (debt-to-income) ratio is too high and you’re struggling to qualify for another mortgage, this is THE episode for you. We’ll discuss using your property’s rent to qualify for more, loans that get around DTI requirements, using your business to fund your deals, and the mortgages you should look into FIRST before you move on to more complex loan products. Stick around if you’re ready to scale faster! Thank you to our sponsor, Rent App: the free and easy way to collect rent.  In This Episode We Cover Why you cannot overlook rehabbing older homes and outdated properties The two things that tell Lisa an older home ISN’T worth investing in  Why termites, foundation problems, and outdated electrical systems aren’t as bad as you think The huge mistake Lisa made that ruined a $100K+ rehab project and how to avoid the same fate Tenant retention 101 and best ways to ensure your vacancy rate is low and your cash flow is high DealMachine’s five ways to find motivated sellers in any market And So Much More!

How do you find investment properties nobody else is looking for—the ones with cash flow potential, equity upside, and wealth-building qualities all the other investors overlook? Simple: buy what nobody else wants. For Lisa Field Moore, that’s old homes. Most rookie investors walk into an old house, notice the foundation problems, warped floors, and outdated electricals, and quickly see themselves out. But Lisa sees money to be made—and you should too. In this episode, Lisa shares how she’s built a sizable real estate portfolio by buying old, overlooked, and outdated homes, all in the past four years! But these are treacherous waters, and getting a major rehab item wrong could cost you a deal. To help, Lisa breaks down what isn’t (and definitely is) a red flag when looking at old homes, how she lost serious money making one easy mistake, and how to avoid doing a bad deal ever again. Plus, she shares her tips for rock-solid tenant retention that’ll keep your rental properties filled for years (or even decades!). Want to know how to find these older homes with wealth-building potential? Stick around because DealMachine gives us a bonus segment on the five ways to find a motivated seller in ANY market!  In This Episode We Cover: Why you cannot overlook rehabbing older homes and outdated properties  The two things that tell Lisa an older home ISN’T worth investing in  Why termites, foundation problems, and outdated electrical systems aren’t as bad as you think The huge mistake Lisa made that ruined a $100K+ rehab project and how to avoid the same fate Tenant retention 101 and best ways to ensure your vacancy rate is low and your cash flow is high  DealMachine’s five ways to find motivated sellers in any market  And So Much More!

Everyone knows how to find a real estate agent. But an investor-friendly agent—one who will find deals for you, run the numbers, hook you up with contractors, and help you get funding—isn’t the same as your neighborhood agent down the street. These agents have connections that can help skyrocket a new real estate investor’s portfolio and bring them deals that no one else knows about. So, how do you find these diamond-in-the-rough real estate agents? You need to ask THESE questions. To help you vet your future investor-friendly real estate agent is James Dainard.

But that’s not all. With the latest agent commission lawsuits, more buyers are aware that commissions are negotiable. So, whether you’re looking to get a steal on your next deal or want a first-class buying and selling experience, James walks through how you may now be able to negotiate what commission you want to give an agent, depending on what matters most to you. In This Episode We Cover: The best place to find a real estate agent (for investors!)

If there’s one thing that’ll make or break your real estate portfolio, it’s property management. When done correctly, property management can feed you consistent, passive income without the everyday stressors of being a landlord. Whenever you hear people talking about bad tenants, midnight phone calls, or surprise maintenance problems, they’re really talking about property management gone wrong. So, how does a rookie real estate investor, with even just one rental property, start managing the right way so they can scale their portfolio faster?  Amelia McGee and Grace Gudenkauf, authors of The Self-Managing Landlord, did it all wrong initially. They were picking up every tenant phone call, placing every service request, taking rent payments every which way, and here’s the thing—none of it was working. As they scaled their portfolios, things only got more difficult until finally, one day, they stopped and developed a system, and like that, their businesses took off. Now, only a few years into real estate investing, both Amelia and Grace have dozens of rental units to their names and less stress than ever before. How did they do it all WITHOUT hiring everything out to a property manager? In today’s show, they’ll share the self-managing principles they used to explode their rental portfolios while staying sane! And if you’re a new investor or are about to be one, these tips could save you YEARS of headaches! In This Episode We Cover: Why EVERY real estate investor should be self-managing when building their portfolio How to start building your property management “system” that’ll save you HOURS a week What brand new investors NEED to start doing once they have their first property Three apps/software that every real estate investor should have Tenant selection 101 and simple mistakes that could cost you months of rent  How to know it's time to start outsourcing and signs you need some help And So Much More!
