Building Wealth One House At A Time

On this podcast episode I talk about creating wealth in real estate, by building wealth one house at a time. The example that I use on this podcast came from our Fixing and Flipping Coaching event this past weekend. I was reviewing potential fix and flip deals with my coaching students and we were evaluating deals together to find houses that would make good fix and flips. The specific house that I discussed with them is a $180,000 house that can be purchased for $115,000. The asking price on the house is $120,000. It is a nice house in a decent neighborhood that was a foreclosure and is being sold by Fannie Mae. The house needs flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, and interior and exterior paint. I am guessing that to fix and flip the house the repairs could be around $25,000. We use our fixing and flipping calculator which you can use by visiting this page: https://www.lexlevinrad.com/rehab-property-calculator/ For a fix and flip, the spread is a little tight and the house will only generate a profit of around $10,000. That seems like a lot of work for not that much profit. However I show students how that same house purchased as a buy, repair, rent and refinance makes a lot of sense. If we are repairing the house to rent it, then the cost will be only around $15,000 (instead of $25,000 for a fix and flip). The numbers for a BRRR using my financing if I was lending for the hard money loan are: Purchase $115,000 repairs (rental) $15,000 closing costs etc. $5,000 down payment $15,000 loan amount $100,000 Total cash out of pocket $35,000 Total cost $135,000 Appraisal value $180,000 The bank will be willing to lend 75% of that appraisal value (which is $135,000) From that $135,000 use $100,000 to pay off the hard money loan. That leaves you with $35,000 cash. That is the same $35,000 that you laid out to buy the property. That is how the Buy, Repair, Rent, Refinance method works. And it’s the easiest way to create wealth by building wealth one house at a time. Enjoy the podcast

Best real estate investor podcast.

Lex gives you real tips with actual names of multiple sites and services to use from the beginner up to advanced. I feel he’s giving away his classes for free on the podcast. Most podcasts stop short of details and give generic advice unless you join there groups.

Great show for beginners or experts!

As an amateur flipper since I was in my teens, I kind of have gotten pretty good at identifying great opportunities and taking advantage of them. But, Lex dives much deeper and gives actionable tips on how to make sure you are looking at everthing before making any decisions. I'm hooked!

Be Prepared to Learn!

Two words: Information Dense. Sweet Moses. I’ve listened to other real estate investing podcasts but this by far is the most practical, the most hands-on podcast I have heard to date. You can tell that the host, Lex, is very passionate about real estate investing. That passion with his experience translates into an excellent podcast. He shares theory about a topic and then tells a story about his experiences in the real world. That to me is gold!
