🚨 If you don't have a plan outside of your job, this post is for you.

Most people get into real estate investing chasing a number. A million dollars. Financial freedom. The dream.

But almost nobody stops to ask the one question that actually matters most before they start building their real estate business.

I wrote about it in my latest blog post — including exactly how I built a fully remote, virtual real estate business that lets me travel freely and live life on my own terms. And how you can do the same.

And if after reading it you're ready to take the next step — I'm teaching an Advanced Inner Circle For My Coaching Students “Building Your Real Estate Business And Systems Inner Circle”, a 3-day live coaching event for coaching students only on Friday July 24 to Sunday July 26.

At this Inner Circle, I will walk you through the entire blueprint.

⚠️ I'm only accepting ONE new coaching student before the event.

The biggest challenge for new investors is not knowing what they are looking for. You need to have a plan, a goal, and a vision. Once you have a goal, you can create a plan.

For example, if your goal is to own 10 rental properties free and clear, then you first need to figure out where those properties will be located. We call that your target market. Then you need to know the type of property you are looking for. Let’s say it’s 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom homes.
Does your target market have enough supply of what you are looking for?

The next step is to understand what type of house you will buy and how much you will be willing to pay. Are you looking for major rehabs—houses that need new roofs, air conditioning, and a complete interior renovation? Or are you looking for cosmetic fixer-uppers—houses that have a good roof and good air conditioning but just need some updating?

If your goal is the buy, repair, rent, and refinance strategy, then you are better off finding houses that need as little work as possible.

Cosmetic fixers, where you plan on renting out the house, can be renovated for as little as $10,000 (or less). These are the types of houses that make perfect buy, repair, rent, refinance properties—especially if you plan on renting to Section 8 tenants.

So when you know the type of house you are looking for, you have a goal. With that goal, you can have the vision of owning 10 rentals. Then you can take action steps to make that vision and goal a reality.

But you need to know the price you will buy at, and you need to understand ARV, comparable sales, and repair estimates in order to calculate the maximum amount you are willing to pay.

Now you have a plan.

At this point, you can start looking at wholesaler deals and the MLS to learn your market and practice. If you see a deal that works, you can make an offer.

Before you do this make sure you set up your motivated seller website so that you look credible and professional. It will take 6 to 12 months to start getting a steady flow of sellers who are looking to sell.

Step One: Vision
Step Two: Goal
Step Three: Plan
Step Four: Take Action

Kalina K gave us a 5 star video review on SoTellUs!

Our student Dale purchased his first rental property for less than 50 percent of fair market value!

This house is a $195k house that was purchased for just $94k. That purchase price is less than 50% of its Market Value (ARV).

I was the lender on this transaction (which is one of the major advantages of being in my coaching program). I loaned Dale $80k of my own money to buy this house (I only lend my personal money to coaching students).

How did he find this property?......

Dale found this property by mailing postcards to a list of motivated sellers.

I teach my students how to do this at the Wholesaling Real Estate Boot Camp.

This seller was extremely motivated to sell and was in a bad situation. His partner had moved into an assisted living facility, and they owned the house free and clear but desperately needed the money from the sale of the house. This is a textbook example of a motivated distressed seller.

Dale purchased the property with a private lender hard money loan (from me). He then spent $12k making the house rent ready. He repainted the house inside and out, remodeled the bathroom, and cleaned up the terrazzo floors. When the house was ready to rent, he advertised the house for rent and rented it to a Section 8 tenant.

After the tenant moved in, he contacted a mortgage broker to refinance the private lender loan. The house appraised for $195k, which is $101k higher than what he paid for it. If you deduct the 12k in repairs, that is $89k profit. Deduct the points, fees, closing costs of around 9k, and that is a profit of $80k on one house (from a postcard).

With the appraisal, he was able to refinance the mortgage into a conventional mortgage at a much lower interest rate.

This is called the BRRR Method, which stands for Buy, Repair, Rent, and Refinance. I teach this strategy at the Buying Rentals and Building Wealth Boot Camp. You can learn more about the boot camp by clicking the link in the comments below 👇

Learning how to implement the BRRR method is one of the fastest and easiest ways to build wealth, start a rental portfolio, and create a life of financial freedom for you and your family. To be able to implement the BRRR Method, all you need is

A Pulse (be alive and have a pulse)
A Job (have a paycheck and proof of employment)
A Minimum Fico Credit Score of 620

If you are reading this, there is a good chance you have all three (we know you have the first one!)

After refinancing, Dale has a rental property worth 195k with a mortgage of 135k. That is 60k in equity. On top of that, he has cash flow of almost $700 a month.

And with this BRRR strategy, he can buy as many rentals as he wants!

You can’t afford not to learn how to implement this BRRR Method for yourself!

If you are ready to buy your first rental and start building a rental portfolio, then make sure you don’t miss the Buying Rentals & Building Wealth Boot Camp. At this boot camp, I will be teaching my students (and you) how to build wealth and financial freedom with rental properties.

I will show you how the Buy, Repair, Rent, and Refinance (BRRR) Method works and how you can buy houses with no money down utilizing this strategy.

You will see many examples of our students, like Dale, who have used it to create success! Click the link in the comments below to learn more 👇

Watching where chains like Wawa, Starbucks, LA Fitness, Costco, Chick-fil-A, and Publix choose to build is a good way to spot population growth trends. These companies spend millions on demographic research before they commit to a location. Palm Bay is one of Florida’s faster-growing cities.

Watching where chains like Wawa, Starbucks, LA Fitness, Costco, Chick-fil-A, and Publix choose to build is a good way to spot population growth trends. These companies spend millions on demographic research before they commit to a location. Palm Bay is one of Florida’s faster-growing cities, and for this reason it’s worth paying attention to.

Palm Bay’s population has grown from about 120,000 in 2020 to over 150,000 today according to recent estimates. That’s a very strong growth rate for a city of its size.

There is still a lot of buildable land in Palm Bay (unlike many coastal Florida cities that are mostly built out). Palm Bay has a huge amount of undeveloped land. That allows for large master-planned communities and for builders to plan for thousands of new homes.

The Space Coast is only one hour from Orlando and is also home to one of the fastest growing industries in the U.S. (space and military defense). Palm Bay isn’t just benefiting from tourism and retirees like many other Florida markets. It has a genuine fast growing high-tech employment base (which is important for job growth and population growth).

L3Harris Technologies, Northrop Grumman⁠, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Embraer⁠, NASA and contractors around Kennedy Space Center, Space Launch Delta 45 - The United States Space Force, Elon Musk' s SpaceX (which just went public yesterday), Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin (Nasa Artemis Program, Amazon Project Kuiper).

In general, the broader launch ecosystem on the Space Coast where Elon Musk wants to launch 100,000 Satellites into Space for Star link alone will be booming and will become a massive employer. Yesterday’s IPO was the largest IPO ever in history and it’s going to be creating jobs at SpaceX. Those people are going to need to live somewhere.

Putting Data AI Centers into space (the goal of both Bezos and Musk) will be a massive growth technology area and where Space X will be deploying its capital from yesterday’s IPO. Orbital AI data centers, AI Satellites will be a massively growing new technology. Space offers continuous solar power (without nighttime), no competition for land, potentially easier heat rejection through large radiators, and a clear path to scaling AI beyond terrestrial power-grid limits. And this will all be done by launching these rockets and satellites from the Space Coast.

What makes Palm Bay interesting is that many engineers and defense employees who work in Melbourne, at the Kennedy Space Center, or at Cape Canaveral choose to live in Palm Bay because housing is cheaper and more affordable for them and their family.

There is more room for new development of homes. That’s one reason builders keep adding subdivisions. They know that the population will continue growing, the jobs will continue growing, and because of affordability, people will keep moving to Palm Bay.

Don’t wait to buy real estate, instead buy real estate and wait

🏠 Let’s talk about Section 8 rental properties.

One of the biggest benefits with Section 8 rental properties is that they cash flow very well relative to their purchase price. The reason for this is that their purchase price is low relative to the rents that they produce.

💰 One of the biggest benefits is the guaranteed rent that is paid by the government.

Section 8 pays based on the number of rooms that a house has. The more rooms, the more rent you can get. If you find a 4-bedroom house in a lower income neighborhood, you can get very high cash flow with Section 8 relative to the purchase price.

📈 This makes Section 8 rentals ideal for new real estate investors who need cash flow.

If you are buying rental properties at 50 cents on the dollar, they make perfect candidates for the Buy, Repair, Rent, and Refinance strategy (BRRR Method).

🔑 The key is to buy them cheap.

I started out in Section 8, and it’s a very good way to start out building your rental portfolio and increasing your wealth.

In fact, I created my first million dollars by buying rental properties in lower income neighborhoods with private lender money and then refinancing into conventional loans using the BRRR method.

Let's talk about Section 8 rental properties.

One of the biggest benefits with Section 8 rental properties is that they cash flow very well relative to their purchase price. The reason for this is that their purchase price is low relative to the rents that they produce. The purchase price is lower because the property is in a lower income neighborhood (which is less desirable for buyers so prices do not appreciate as rapidly).

One of the biggest benefits is the guaranteed rent that is paid by the government. Section 8 is part of the U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The official name for the Section 8 Program is the Housing Choice Voucher Program. Landlords and tenants refer to it as Section 8 because that is what it was originally called before it was renamed the Housing Choice Voucher Program.

The name Section 8 refers to Section 8 of the U.S. Housing Act of 1937. Congress passed the Housing Act of 1937 to create public housing for low-income families.

There are some nuances to the Section 8 program that are worth understanding as a real estate investor. Section 8 pays based on the number of rooms that a house has. The more rooms, the more rent you can get. If you find a 4 bedroom house in a lower income neighborhood, you can get very high cash flow with Section 8 relative to the purchase price.

This makes section 8 rentals ideal for new real estate investors who need cash flow. If you want to see how much you could get on a rental you can use this HUD Calculator that shows you Fair Market Rents by State and Zip Code: https://www.lexlevinrad.com/hud-fair-market-rents/

If you are buying rental properties at 50 cents on the dollar, they make perfect candidates for a new investor to implement the Buy, Repair, Rent and Refinance strategy (BRRR Method). If you do this correctly you can do a no money down deal. Now no money down does not mean no money down. What it means is none of YOUR OWN money down.

You borrow from a private lender to pay for the purchase of the property. You use borrowed funds to repair the property. Then you rent the property to a Section 8 tenant. Once your property is rented, you contact a mortgage broker to refinance your mortgage. The goal is to pay off the private lender and have a conventional mortgage. This will substantially reduce your interest rate and also will convert a balloon mortgage to an amortizing mortgage.

Buying a property at a discount using a private lender and then refinancing to a conventional mortgage after the property has been repaired and rented is known as the BRRR Method. This stands for "Buy, Repair, Rent and Refinance."

Implementing the BRRR Method with lower priced Section 8 properties that are purchased cheaply is the perfect strategy for new real estate investors. It allows new investors to buy more real estate and build their rental portfolio.

The key is to buy them cheap. How do you buy these properties for 50 cents on the dollar? Short Sales, Bank owned properties, distressed sellers who are motivated to sell, like people that are in foreclosure, or delinquent on property taxes. As an investor you need to learn how to market to motivated sellers. I teach this at the Wholesaling Real Estate Boot Camp: https://www.lexlevinrad.com/distressed-real-estate-boot-camp/

Many larger investors avoid the lower income run down neighborhoods. For a new investor this is important because it means less competition. But it comes with a downside - some of these neighborhoods can be pretty tough.

Another downside is that managing these Section 8 rentals is much more intensive than traditional rental properties. This is the part that is the most difficult for new real estate investors, dealing with the maintenance headaches and the wear and tear on their property.

Some new investors buy one Section 8 property and never want to own rentals or be a landlord again. If you are going to get into Section 8 Rentals you need to understand what you are getting into, you need to have a system to manage and run these properties, and you need to be realistic about cash flow, wear and tear and maintenance.

The key is to buy them so cheap that it pays and you can refinance without using your own cash. That allows you to build your rental portfolio and create wealth. It's not that difficult to acquire 2 properties a year!

I started out in Section 8 and it's a very good way to start out building your rental portfolio and increasing your wealth. I created my first million dollars by buying rental properties in lower income neighborhoods with private lender money and then refinancing into conventional loans using the BRRR method.

Our student Shawn sharing his story of transitioning from Airbnb and Short Term Rentals to running houses with Pad Split and Furnished Finders at the Airbnb Boot Camp this past weekend.

Shawn worked for a Fortune 500 company for over 20 years, but he told me that he felt that it was just a question of time before he was going to be let go. I said to him, let’s make a plan so that when that day comes you will be ready.

A few months ago, he got that call.

Luckily he had made a plan to provide for his income and his future by learning how to invest in short term rentals. He currently has 27 different streams of income (people paying him per bed).

In a few weeks he is launching his first sober living house!

How about a big congratulations to Shawn!

Remember that the day that you take full responsibility for your life is the day you take control of your destiny!
