  • A Better Retirement After Buying Just ONE Rental (and Never FOMO-ing)

    A Better Retirement After Buying Just ONE Rental (and Never FOMO-ing)
    Sep 30 2024
    Mike Baum owns just one rental property, but this one property alone has changed his life. It’s allowed him to become such an investing expert that he’s constantly being asked for his opinion on the BiggerPockets forums, and he provides some of the most well-thought-out investing advice on the internet. So why does he have just one rental property, and why doesn’t he grow using his expertise? The answer isn’t that obvious. You wouldn’t know it, but Mike is permanently disabled. After overworking so hard that he ended up losing his vision, he was placed on disability for the rest of his working career. This high achiever was forced to slow down and find something else that could replace his day job. Shortly after his diagnosis, he found BiggerPockets and turned a family vacation home into a short-term rental. Now, he’s got systems and processes that help him self-manage with very few headaches, and he will probably keep this property as his one and only rental for life. Why didn’t he “FOMO” in when everyone was gobbling up real estate in 2020? Why didn’t he grow his portfolio to become the next tycoon? Mike has some clear answers for why he did what he did, and after listening to him, you might change what you want, too. In This Episode We Cover: Why you DON’T need a large real estate portfolio to find financial success when investing Why Mike tells beginner investors that they should NOT buy a short-term rental property The systems and processes Mike made to automate his vacation rental self-management (so he works less!) One thing you should do NOW before you start investing in real estate (it’s free!) The real result of “FOMO” investing and how to stop shiny object syndrome from blowing you off course And So Much More!

  • BiggerNews: 2 Real Estate Markets That PROVE Cash Flow Is Alive in 2024

    BiggerNews: 2 Real Estate Markets That PROVE Cash Flow Is Alive in 2024
    Sep 27 2024
    Cash flow is hard to find in 2024, but these real estate markets have plenty of it. Since so many previously “cash-flowing” markets have seen rising prices, higher expenses, and limited housing inventory, we went back to the drawing board to reevaluate which markets in the United States offer the most cash flow potential. Today, we share these markets and hone in on two specific ones with real-life on-market examples to prove that cash flow is still possible. But before we get into that, we’re sharing the cash flow formula even beginners can use to quickly calculate whether a rental property will cash flow. Then, we describe what type of cash-on-cash return WE target in today’s market and list some of the most cash-flowing markets of 2024. Want to see real cash-flowing rental property examples? We’re hopping over to BiggerPockets Deal Finder as we quickly analyze two separate rental properties in two cash-flowing markets to prove that these properties do sport some serious cash flow. Don’t believe us? Head over to BiggerPockets Market Finder, where you can see the nation’s top rent-to-price investing areas (that’s where the cash flow is!). In This Episode We Cover: Two cities that have cash-flowing rental properties for sale RIGHT NOW Precisely how to calculate cash flow for rental properties (and why most investors do this wrong) The optimal cash-on-cash return we target that properties must meet before we bid on them The 1% rule explained and whether or not it’s still worth using in 2024 When to sell a cash-flowing rental, even if it’s making you mailbox money every month And So Much More!

  • What to Invest in When You’re NOT Buying Real Estate

    What to Invest in When You’re NOT Buying Real Estate
    Sep 25 2024
    Struggling to pick what to invest in, especially when real estate prices and mortgage rates are still so high? Many investors are sitting on the sidelines, saving cash for their first or next investment property, but nothing seems to work out. So what do you do, keep your money socked away or invest in other assets that aren’t real estate while waiting for the right time to pull the trigger? We know many of you are in this position, so today, we’re sharing what we’re investing in that ISN’T real estate. This may be a surprise, but even some of the most well-known investors in the BiggerPockets universe aren’t 100% in real estate. Dave Meyer, Brian Burke, and Mindy Jensen all don’t have even half of their net worths in real estate investments. As such respected real estate investors, what else are they putting their money into that ISN’T more rental properties? In this episode, you get to peek into our investment accounts as we share exactly what we’ve been investing in, how we diversify our investment portfolios, and the “riskier” assets we put our money into that you may not even know exist. So, if you’re struggling to buy real estate or just don’t think investment properties are for you, worry not; you can still build wealth without purchasing a property. In This Episode We Cover: Alternatives to real estate investing that we’re investing in NOW Diversifying your investment portfolio and why you SHOULDN’T hold just one type of asset The “riskier” investments that we’re making and how much money we allocate for them De-risking your portfolio by buying safer, passive, less volatile assets What beginners should do to build wealth even with a small(er) amount of money Whether to continue waiting on the sidelines or start investing NOW And So Much More!

So much value!

I owe a lot to this podcast. I’ve been listening for years and I’ve applied countless things I’ve heard to my life and business.

The mindset that BiggerPockets has given me has brought so much value to my life, even beyond real estate.

Thank you, Josh, Brandon, David, and the rest of the BP team!

My favorite podcast!

I started listening to BP over a year ago and I still listen to every new episode. I started from the beginning and just couldn't stop going. Every episode just provided so much value and sent me looking for more to learn. It directed me to an amazing community too. Great content overall, can't be grateful enough for this

very valuable information.

This is a great podcast. Many people don't know about self directed IRA or solo 401k. I opened one this year, I like that I'm in control of my money and I can invest where I want it.
