Here's how.* *I have multiple families lined up that are cash rich but credit poor and are eager to own a home of their home. After passing a credit and criminal check and submit their request form (details of the home they wish to buy) they deposit an "Option fee" into escrow pending us finding a property match, to which all families are invited to a one day open house. Guess where I'm getting the houses?* *The Option fee is always significantly more than the expenses of catching up the mortgage from foreclosure threat, touching up the property, providing the previous owner with some walking more, closing costs, etc. The family rents the house for more than the monthly mortgage and is allowed 2 years to buy the house by getting their own mortgage. After which if they still canNot buy the house they may remain as tenants until they can. Meanwhile I make the monthly spread.* *In the end, the original owner avoids getting dragged out by the hair by local law enforcement, they enjoy the dignity of leaving on their own terms, avoid foreclosure on their credit record and get a lump sum of cash to help them start over fresh somewhere else. Their mortgage remains in their name and they get credit for the payments we make on their behalf. While the new family get to move into the home they desire immediately and to lock in a sales price and have the chance to fix their credit and buy a home of their own. Obviously rent and the sales price can go up after the 2 year option period.* *Because these mortgages aren't very old the properties tend to be in better condition so little or no repairs are needed, the original owner is less attached emotionally to the property, and the interest rates are low. Because there is hardly ever any equity, I do not make much on the back end when the tenant buys the house. But I have had tenants finally buy the house after 4 years, 7 years and some times they just moved away. But most just remain tenants.* *There is much much more detail, some proprietary stuff of the most valuable parts.

At 2:22 you say you don't know why anyone would do that so let me explain. While it is probably not the best sense or use of money, some people simply don't want to borrow period. It is essentially throwing money away, but you are also not on the hook for anything which is a great way to live your life. Assuming, you have the ability and resources to do that. Now I agree he should take the money and do that, but lets assume, a new plandemic hits and he's on the hook for 1 billion that he cant get out for a year, maybe he ends up losing ALOT more than 55 million... think about it.

Dave's example and complaint is kind of weak and ignores some easy facts... Most people with multiple properties are able to cover rent for a few months in the event of vacancy or non-payment - or, at least THAT should be the advice: Be able to cover the mortgage in the event of an issue woth cash flow. Not bitching about the cost of being a landlord. If being a landlord was a bad industry, NO ONE WOULD DO IT. If you buy good properties in good areas and rent to good tenants, you'll have very rare dips in cash flow. Just be able to cover the dips.

Then they would star getting ideas go in debt to invest and mess up their life’s. Even if that loan existed, you’d need to invest on something with as little risk as possible.

I am 72. When I was a home builder, mortgage rates were 18%. It really sucked. EVERYTHING was negative cash flow. I had to sell everything, one house at a time. My rich uncle built in the 1950's when everything cash flowed and banks automatically gave mortgages with no qualifying. Rich Uncle had 100 units and sold the mall in 1970, right before inflation. Wiped out in a bad divorce. Did it all over again in 1980's in Florida. I inherited one house when he died. That was good for me. Protect yourself. Thanks Ken.

Sometimes they break leases early and you end up with multiple months vacancy. I've had both happen.

Dave Ramsey's advice is generally really sound and logical for people who have serious spending problems and behavioral risks, but for people who have actual financial sense and understanding, it can often be extremely counterproductive, like with the example of refusing ALL debt, regardless of how it could actually leverage your overall wealth in the right situation. He sort of provides the "training wheels" to financial freedom, but once you're ready to actually go somewhere financially, it's actually more of a hindrance than a help. I consider him more a financial "therapist" than a wealth advisor, but unfortunately people are obsessed with simple solutions to complex problems, and often suffer for it.

So you get people pitching the idea of buying anyways to move properties. Based on the hype that interest rates will soon go down which will lower payments and there will be a massive wave of buyers to push values up.

Ramsey said no because "No debt" is his model. He's not going to go back on it and undermine his whole business for some meaningless hypothetical.

That's how people can really become millionaires instead of literally bet with other people's money with huge interest and can ruin your life . No debt IS THE BEST

I think you can use depreciation if you're the owner/manager and you have w2 income OR you have some passive income coming from somewhere else. Which is fine, but it doesn't scale very far. Really good video. I appreciate you sharing your real world knowledge on these influencers. You seem like a straight shooter and that is really rare these days.

Loving this video Ken!!! I would love to see you do a reaction to the KZfaq housing “influencer” at Reventure Consulting. He’s gotten a huge following with Mega Crash click bait content and the people who are listening to him and going to keep their families poor for generations. They are getting real estate advice from someone who doesn’t own a single unit and is a fellow renter, profiting off selling fear to his audience

Ken, can you comment on whether you think your synopsis/analysis of US rental rates going forward applies to Canada? Similar, but not the same market in terms of immigration policies and other fundamentals.

Thanks Ken. Great video. All the right responses. The young millenials have been completely clueless on the risks and real costs of doing business. Now that the tide is going out, it's clear only the real OGs are going to be left swimming.

12:50 - No, you actually negotiate with the seller in wholesaling and MANY times they know the value or learn it, and from there you settle on an agreement that works for both parties.

Thank you! I don't listen to anyone that didn't have real estate in 2008. We bet on equity, we thought we were so smart and then 2008 came and we lost all that property, our personal home and everything else! Learned the hard way!

The people who didn't have real estate in 2008 are the only ones you should listen to, because they were smart enough to avoid the crash.

10:16 correction, what Dave is arguing about is someone who takes out a mortgage without the funds to maintain the property or be able to pay it if there are no renters.

Reminds me of that old Steve Martin bit. How do you make a million dollars and not pay taxes. First, get a million dollars and when the IRS asks for the taxes just tell them you forgot.

@luminous6969 4 ай бұрын

1:45 It's because he's built his entire empire on telling people to not borrow money, which would make him a HUGE hypocrite if he had said yes. In addition, he's built everything he has thus far without debt and he doesn't necessarily want to make more money if it means destroying his brand and going against his core values in the process, he has enough money as it is, he doesn't need more anyway, especially at the cost of destroying his brand, being a hypocrite, and betraying his core values. That's a good enough reason in my book.

Wholesaling can be a real strategy and business. Maybe not on commercial property but definitely on residential property. I find vacant land that is tax delinquent where the owner passed away and I offer the heirs a net price at closing and pay their taxes and probate at closing for them. Have closed over 400 deals like this.
