We’re going to show you how to make any rental property cash flow as soon as you buy it. Want to know how to analyze a rental property like a pro? This is how. Expert investors don’t just crunch the numbers once and submit an offer or reject it—that’s an easy way to miss out on the best real estate deals. Instead, we’re showing you how we tweak specific numbers in your offer to make the deal as profitable as possible, while giving ...

The BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) was, for a few years at least, the real estate investor’s golden ticket to a million-dollar portfolio. It allowed investors to buy properties, fix them up fast, get their down payment money back, and recycle it. This created an “infinite” investing loop where someone with one down payment could turn it into five (or more) separate houses. But with high mortgage rates, the BRRRR...

Do you make a middle-class income ($70,000 or less) per year and want to invest in real estate? This is how you do it.  You don’t need a six-figure salary to buy your first rental property and start building generational wealth and early retirement. Dave is a testament to this, buying his first rental with barely any money, zero experience, and working as a waiter. If you’ve got a stable salary and some savings, you’re already lea...

These investment property loans can get you a 4% interest rate, a lower monthly payment, or require very little cash at closing. They’re still available in 2025, but most real estate investors are unaware of them. We’ve used these exact strategies on our rental properties in the past, and with rates trending lower, this could be an even better time to take advantage. We’re giving you the full details in this 2025 rental property fi...

We may be entering a rare period where home prices stagnate for years. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen real estate prices not appreciate year-over-year, but this reality is becoming increasingly likely every day. With low affordability, high mortgage rates, rising supply, and steady demand, the tables are starting to turn for one of the hottest asset classes of the past decade (real estate). The question is, should you buy f...

Mortgage rates just hit their lowest point in 2025. The housing market correction spreads to nearly 50% of the country. Sellers are giving up as new listings begin to retreat. Is this just a normal correction or the signs of a housing market crash? Should you take the chance and buy now with lower rates and desperate sellers, or could this just be the start of a downward spiral? We’re giving the data on it all in this August 2025 h...

If you know how to find investment properties the right way, your path to real estate wealth gets a lot shorter.

You won’t just find real estate deals faster, you’ll get the best deals in the market, while investors who don...

Think today’s mortgage rates are stopping you from getting rich with rental properties? Think again. Today’s guest built an 11-unit rental portfolio—starting in 2022, with high interest rates—and is cash flowing on each property. In fact, he’s making more cash flow than most investors we know, even with still sky-high rates. How’s he doing it with such little money down? No creative finance, no expert skills—Justin Albrecht is just...

This is how to make $5,000 per month in passive income from rental properties on an average salary, starting with little money. You don’t need to have any real estate investing experience to follow this blueprint, but if you’ve already started investing, you could (and probably will) get there faster. How much money do you need? How long will it take? Which properties should you invest in? We’re sharing the complete blueprint in th...

So, how do you ensure you’re getting the best price for you, without making a seller feel like they’re getting taken advantage of? This episode is all about how we negotiate the best real estate deals in 2025, using methods that everyday homebuyers are unaware of, and most investors never try. This is how to do real estate negotiation th...

This investor generates $30,000 per month in rental income from a single property. It’s not a short-term rental, or a beachside Airbnb, or anything even close to that. Within a couple of years of starting to scale, James Davis has a rental portfolio on track to gross $1,000,000 per year in rents, from just six properties. The best part? He’s not even doing it for the money. His investments are making lives better while securing him...

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...

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.

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?
