Within 10 years, today’s guest went from zero experience in real estate investing to millionaire through investment properties. Now, she’s reverse-engineering her path, showing you how to do it faster, even if you’re just getting started on your first deal. Almost every (successful) real estate investor goes through a few crucial “stages.” Today, we’re breaking them down so YOU know where you stand. First: Do you know how a mort...

What if you could shave 15 years off your working career? Whether you love your job or hate it, having the option to retire early on a schedule you choose is something we are all working toward. Thankfully, you don’t need 100 properties to do it. Today’s guest did it with 15, slowly building a rental property portfolio and recycling his home equity so he could scale faster and reach financial freedom sooner. Tony DeGiacomo lived...

Want a 3% interest rate? What about a lower purchase price? Maybe hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax-free income? These real estate “hacks” unlock all of these benefits—and they work especially well in 2025. We’re entering a new type of housing market: sellers have lost much of their control, inventory is high, affordable areas are seeing stronger demand, and real estate investors need to pivot ASAP.  So, how do you take ad...

This is how to start investing in real estate in 2025 from scratch, even if you don’t have any experience. You could be a brand-new investor or someone returning after years since your last purchase. One thing is clear: 2025 has changed the housing market. We are not in the same scenario as we were in 2020, 2022, or even 2024. Investors have more negotiating power now, and if you’ve decided to get in the game, now is the time to pi...

Want passive income? We mean truly passive—no tenant phone calls, no toilets, no evictions—just checks sent to your account. This is the dream of every real estate investor, and today’s guest, Chris Lopez, actually achieved it. He did what we preach on every single episode—bought single-family rentals and small multifamily buildings and ran them right—but at some point, he realized the cash flow was too low, and the headaches were ...

The real estate correction is here, but is a crash coming next? New data suggests sellers are getting increasingly frustrated as their houses sit—and they’ve finally had enough. Buyers are ready to pounce on lower-priced homes, but can they actually afford them? If you’re investing in real estate, is now the best time in a long time to fight for a price cut or seller concession? We’re back with our monthly housing market update, sh...

It’s the situation every real estate investor wants to be in: your house just appraised for more than you expected. Now, you’ve got some home equity added to your net worth, but how do you use it? Should you keep it in the property and maintain low leverage, or use home equity to scale your real estate portfolio more quickly? We’re answering common real estate questions like this one and a lot more in today’s show! James Dainard...

After hearing this episode, you’ll have no excuse not to reach financial freedom in under a decade. Today’s guest did it in even less time, scaling up to income-replacing cash flow in just a matter of years, even with a very demanding full-time job and constantly moving around the country. Through pure hustle, Taylor Wing is now financially independent in his late twenties with a sizable rental property portfolio that spits out cas...

The golden age of real estate investing is over, and there’s a good chance it isn’t coming back (for a while, at least). We have to admit it—real estate deals aren’t nearly as good as they were in the 2010s. But here’s the thing…we’re still buying real estate. Even with low affordability, high interest rates, and still high home prices, real estate still makes much more sense as an investment than your other options. We can prove i...

Can’t make the numbers work in your local market? No worries—long-distance real estate investing is the natural next step. We’ve done it before, many times, and made the beginner mistakes, so you don’t have to. Now, we’re gearing up to do it again. Dave and Henry are heading out on the “Cash Flow Road Show,” touring top Midwest markets, and maybe even making offers along the way. These trips are crucial for finding deals and get...

In just three years, this investor scaled up to making over $100,000 per year thanks to real estate. He did it all starting in 2022 when interest rates were beginning to rise, the market was turning, and many investors decided to sit on their hands. Thanks to a strategy that allowed him to “recycle” his money, he went from one down payment to 16 rental units in record time. How’d he do it? Only in his 20s, Ricardo Adames already...

Can’t (or don’t want to) get a bank loan? We have another option for funding your real estate investments: private money lending! If your DTI (debt-to-income) is too high, you’ve maxed out how many mortgages you can get, or you need quick cash to finance a renovation, house flip, or BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), private money loans can float you. Today, we’re sharing how to find a private money lender, what interest ...

Don’t buy rental properties? What if there were investment properties that made way more cash flow than rentals (we’re talking $2,000 or more per month)? These unique properties are often cheaper than rentals but command higher income. You don’t need any special skills to run one, and you can own them while working a full-time job, accelerating your track to early retirement. Want to know what they are? We’re giving the exact prope...

This investor is producing $12,000 per month in cash flow and is well on his way to early retirement before the age of fifty, and he did it all after taking a DECADE off of investing. By cracking the real estate “formula,” Andre Taylor was able to buy larger properties faster. He used his financial independence number to work backward by picking up properties that would truly help him retire early. He’s still buying deals in 2025, ...

The housing market is already predicted to see price cuts by the end of the year, but is now the time to buy, or should you wait for further price movement? We brought on an investor who has successfully timed the housing market (three times) to give his thoughts on whether we’re at the bottom or we have a long way to go. If you’ve been holding out for lower home prices and less competition, should you take the risk and wait, knowi...

All it takes is one (yes, ONE!) real estate deal to change your life and jumpstart your path to financial freedom. You could stop after just one, but more often than not, that first deal opens the door to even bigger opportunities, allowing you to build wealth, create more passive income streams, and finally reach financial independence. Every successful real estate investor has had that one deal that set off a domino effect, enabl...

This investor used his primary residence to build a $6,000/month rental property portfolio—helping him semi-retire, cut his workload in half, and generate a sizable income stream outside his job. And he did it with affordable, small multifamily rental properties that he still buys in today’s market, all while working a demanding schedule that required his attention 24/7, 40 weeks per year. Bill Price has worked as a sound engine...

June 2025 Housing Market Update: The Biggest Shift in Decades Podcast Description The housing market is experiencing its most significant shift in decades. Sellers are returning in full force, outnumbering buyers by a substantial margin. Homes are selling for under-asking, giving investors and first-time homebuyers discounts previously unheard of. Are we on our way to a housing market crash, correction, or a much-needed reset, w...

Your agent just sent you a killer real estate deal with enormous upside, but it needs a bit of work. Here’s exactly how to estimate renovation costs, so you know you’re buying a property with a juicy margin instead of one that will just break even. Whether you’re renovating a rental property, planning to refinance after the rehab with the BRRRR method, or flipping a house for some quick cash, we’ll give you the formula to run your ...

Five rental properties are all you need to change your life. This income alone could cover all your bills, allowing your entire paycheck to go toward investing as you're fast-tracked to financial freedom and early retirement. Even if you’ve got a demanding job with long hours and limited free time, investing in real estate is STILL the right move. Today’s guest was able to utilize her (very limited) downtime to build a rental portf...
