20: Real Estate Wholesalers: Profit Parasites or Property Investors’ Best Friend?: Real estate wholesaling is one of the most hated, commonly criticized, and least-trusted types of real estate investing. Most people paint real estate wholesalers as those who lie to sellers, incorrectly run comps, and try to market bad deals to unexpected investors. This is all said while top real estate investors around the country continue to buy from wholesalers. So what is it? Are real estate wholesalers a parasite to the property investing industry or are they the symbiotic counterpart every successful investor needs?To put it simply, wholesaling real estate is when a wholesaler will put a property under contract for a certain price, then market the property to investors at a higher price, and keep the difference once the property is handed off. Think of wholesalers as the middlemen between a distressed seller and a real estate investor looking for undervalued deals. In a perfect world, all three p by On The Market

212: Receivership Real Estate: The Hidden Inventory Only Experts Know About w/Jake Flothe: When housing inventory is low, where do you go? Foreclosure rates are down, short sales are a hassle, and the open housing market has barely any sellers—is there a better way to find deals? Yes! Enter real estate receivership—the hidden housing inventory that our own James Dainard has been using for years to get better deals than what’s on the market. How do they work, and what’s behind these discounted deals? Attorney Jake Flothe works with receiverships daily and has seen the inside and out of these transactions that most real estate investors know nothing about. In short, receivership is when a court-appointed receiver takes control of a property in order to sell it to pay back creditors on the borrower’s behalf.

127: Why 87% of Agents Won’t Make It In This Market w/RE/MAX President Nick Bailey: Real estate agents had it made over the past two years. When mortgage rates were low, buyers lined up to make bids, sellers were ready to upgrade, and properties were flying off the shelves. For almost any agent in any market, business was booming, and it seemed like it wouldn’t ever stop. Then mortgage rates began to rise, monthly payments became dangerously unaffordable, and the agents looking for easy commissions disappeared. But what if an industry expert told you there was still hope to help buy and sell homes? Nick Bailey, President and CEO at RE/MAX, has been in the real estate business since he was a teenager. After buying the building his local pizza shop operated in, Nick went on to house hack in college, building an impressive career at not only RE/MAX but Century 21 and Zillow.

This is doubly true for those who used low down payments to house hack and turned their properties into full-on rentals.

142: Did High Interest Rates Kill House Flipping? w/Jessie Rodriguez and Tarl Yarber: House flipping profits are off the charts, so why are so many house flippers leaving the market? Top flippers like James Dainard have seen their profits almost double, EVEN with today’s high interest rates. Wouldn’t now be the perfect time to take on more flips than ever? The experts say “no.” In fact, many of them have stepped away from flipping entirely, worried that the risk FAR outweighs the reward. To give us a more rounded view of this real estate market are Jessie Rodriguez and “I hate real estate but love money” investor Tarl Yarber. Jessie and Tarl have done HUNDREDS of flips throughout the past decade, but now, they’re doing fewer flips than ever before. With high holding costs, an uncertain economic future, and a greater risk of failure, now might not be the best time to start your flipping empire.

111: The Recession-Proof, Low-Risk Way to Invest in Real Estate: Everyone wants to know how to get rich in a recession. The problem? With many asset prices plummeting and a bipolar real estate market, parking cash in any asset could be considered a risk. But, a particular sect of real estate still makes money even if the housing market starts to crash and home prices freefall. This is one of the lowest-risk ways to start investing, especially during a recession, and it made our expert guests, James Dainard and Jamil Damji, very wealthy. James and Jamil have been using this strategy since the early 2000s. When home prices started plummeting in 2008, buying rentals became risky, and fix and flips got decimated. Thankfully, this often misunderstood type of “investing” allowed them to capitalize on the price action, picking up deals that would make great buys and passing them along to buyers who could hold their own during the crash. This same strategy still makes them millions of dollars by On The Market

129: Why “Lazy” Investors Won't Make It in 2023’s Housing Market w/Avery Carl and David Greene: The housing market has dealt a tough hand to real estate investors as of late. Prices are staying the same, but mortgage rates are rising, rents have peaked, and so-called “easy” investments have been increasingly difficult to manage. The “lazy” investors who bought simple short-term rentals are now sitting with empty units, and BRRRRers that never adjusted their strategy are stuck with standard houses producing bleak returns. What’s the right move to make when investing is harder than ever before? We wanted to know what’s REALLY happening in the housing market. So we brought on short-term rental expert Avery Carl, father of the BRRRR method David Greene, and luxury flipper James Dainard, to get their opinions on what’s working, what isn’t, and what investors should do now.

913: 150+ Deals in 3 Years and Why You DON’T Want to Be a Landlord w/Don'nell Greer: Most real estate investors do a few deals a year if they’re lucky. But today’s guest was doing twenty to thirty real estate deals a MONTH. That’s right—not per YEAR, per MONTH. And he did it all while scaling his real estate business at lightning speed. The best part? He didn’t have to use his own money to get there—his deals were being funded completely by private partners, and if you stick around, you’ll know exactly how to do it, too! After closely observing investors while he was a real estate agent, Don’nell Greer got the hang of finding and tackling profitable real estate deals. After much analysis paralysis, he got his first deal under contract—an $80,000 home that needed some heavy sweat equity to make it profitable.

But, as most experienced investors know, different markets favor different strategies.
