Mom and Pop investors Jamie and Jana Gibbs join David and share how they built a portfolio of investment properties in small town Ohio, one at a time. The show covers how they manage them as STR’s, student housing, and rent by the room properties, as well as how they bought a house across the street and “overpaid” only to end up with a 40% cash on cash return. You’ll love this couple’s dedication and humility as they’ve built a portfolio that has allowed them to raise their children, work from home, and allow Jamie to coach college wrestlers. They’ve built the whole system using only one VA, and they share just how they do it, as well as how they analyze deals and hunt the next one, all on today’s show!

This week we break down the fixed-rate second position loan (the "HE loan") — how it works, when it beats a HELOC, and how it can help you avoid PMI with an 80/10/10 structure. We also walk through two real deals: a 17,000 sq ft "unicorn" property with no comps and an urgent appraisal deadline, and a Smoky Mountains short-term rental that moved from a 9-month hard money loan into a 30-year fixed DSCR loan using projected rental income. Plus, a candid warning about the unregulated corners of non-QM and hard money lending, and why working with a licensed professional protects you from bait-and-switch tactics that leave borrowers with no recourse.

On Today’s podcast, David interviews Jack Townsend, a doctor who figured out how to use his profession to supercharge his RE investing. Jack uses physician loans to house hack and has acquired a portfolio of BRRRR’s, STR’s, and traditional rentals, all without quitting his job. We cover how Jack identified and purchased properties, how he structures his BRRRR partnerships, and crazy stories from Airbnb guests. We also talk about the exact scripts Jack used when calling off market properties and what he did to find their phone numbers while walking around downtown. The show dives into the perspectives that drive one’s ambitions to invest in RE and what made Jack successful when others lost interest. Really inspiring show!

Today’s show covers several one brokerage client stories that are very unique! A STR permit transferred to a new buyer (we share how we did it), a military member bought TWO houses for ZERO down in 13 months, and an out of country buyer who used a special loan product to invest in the US. We also cover investment property HELOC’s (yes, we do them), what they are, and how you can tap into equity from an investment property to rehab, improve, or furnish another property.

Dillon started his career off with several successful BRRRR’s, pulling more money out of his first house than he put in. This lead to several more successful deals until life circumstances through him off balance and he found himself checked out on his job, his business, and his investments. A few bad tenants later and Dillon was staying up all night playing poker, sleeping in, and living off the money he had pulled out of his deals. When he finally realized how bad the finances had become, Dillon got back into church, found a girlfriend, made his way back into the gym, and turned things around. Now with his contractor’s license intact, Dillon shares his story of how he fell into the trap and what he’s doing to stay out. A great cautionary tale for other investors who have yet to experience the hardship he did. We cover what to look out for, how our culture is creating dopamine addicts, and how you can prepare for the likely upcoming recession.

This week's show covers new loan products, group up construction options, and jumbo loans that will save you money. David and Christian discuss why rates went up, why they came back down, and several loans they closed for One Brokerage clients.

On today’s show David and Christian dive into three scenarios where borrowers were looking for advantageous situations, unique loan problems, or unique properties, and we found ways to fund them. We cover creative loan structures, how to fund rent by the room residential properties, and how an STR investor with no income on paper was able to buy a killer primary residence. You’ll find yourself laughing, smiling and inspired to get your next deal!

Today’s guest George McCleary is a title defender and squatter expert talking about one of the most insane elements in RE investing today-squattage. In many markets, squatters have acted like chicken pox. Infecting houses with their presence and forcing very expensive evictions that cost landlords thousands of dollars-often creating foreclosures and massive financial hardship. George shares strategies used by squatters to get into your properties, how they stay there, and what he recommends you do to stop this. He shares how to prevent, protect, and eject squattage, how the legal system looks at these things, and how you can fight back if this happens to you.

On today’s show, David and Christian break down a sub-to deal gone bad in Panama City FL (one of the worst markets in the country). In a terrifying turn of events, the buyer of a sub-to property decided to stop making the mortgage payments but retained title to the property. The seller, needing to avoid foreclosure to retain his security clearance, elected to make payments for 12 months as he fought to get the title back. Today’s show shares how he did it, how it played out, and what a sub-to deal really is. Download today to learn the risks and hear the side rarely discussed!

In a big news update issued by both HUD and the FHFA, it’s being reported that a pilot program is in the works. This new program will allow those who make their rent payments on time to be granted credit for this in the FICO credit system, effectively helping renters to qualify for a mortgage to become homeowners themselves. David and Christian react to a video of the announcement, share the information they know, and answer listener questions. Check it out!
