I Went From 1 Condo to 9 Rental Properties After Doing THIS

Рет қаралды 43,168

Chris Lopez turned $0 into a four-unit rental property. Sounds unreal, right? What if we told you that after that, he grew his portfolio to nine properties, built four businesses, and now collects over $100M annually? If you stick around, you’ll hear the exact concept Chris discovered that led to this massive growth and how you can use it to build a rental property portfolio that sets you financially free!
We always hear about ROI (return on investment), cash flow, cash on cash return, and other metrics used by the investing masses. The problem? These don’t give you a clear indicator of whether or not your money could be used in a better way. Chris used an often-untouched calculation to turn his single condo into a cash-flowing four-unit property that pays him more than FIVE times the rent. And if you’ve bought a property over the past few years, you could use this same strategy to multiply your rental portfolio faster than you thought.
Want to play real-life Monopoly and collect even more cash flow? Then, stick around! Chris will share the exact plan that took him to financial freedom!

As a Finance MBA I have to say that this is a much watch video for anyone that has owned an investment property for 2+ years and is focused on equity/wealth growth. Return on Equity is the #1 metric to measure and is often times forgotten about. Thanks for the reminder and simple overview.

you completely skipped the important stuff, you had 87% of your house paid off in supposedly 4 years, you weren't clear on that, then sure, you had plenty of equity for a 1031 exchange, which btw you skipped realtor / title fees etc to list it... this video is why people get in trouble in real estate...

@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate Жыл бұрын

It’s hard to go into every detail in a video. The few percent in transactions costs are pretty insignificant. Happy to share any details you want 1031ing into a higher cap rate property at a 25% down payment. Isn’t typically what causes people to get into trouble

I'm confused how you did $100m yearly from 9 properties and 4 businesses. It seems pretty vague. can you explain further details in the income from each business and real estate property. I somewhat understand you start small real estate and 1031 into bigger and bigger. I just dont get how you do $100m yearly.

@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate Жыл бұрын

I'll try my best to explain a KZfaq comment. The goal of the video is to teach about ROE and how it helped me scale from 1-9 doors. I used the ROE concept and my ability to teach and model. to help others. Which drove a lot of biz growth and other opportunities. The businesses are separate entities and income: Brokerage - $100mm/yr in sales - the majority are investors. Every month I have clients optimize ROE. We do a lot of transactions in Colorado.

@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate Жыл бұрын

From the concepts and brokerage, that lead to being recruited as General Partner for capital raising in a RE Private Equity firm. In our first year, we raised about $40mm, with a lot of it coming from investors equities in their properties.

ROE is an efficiency of capital metric but also is a risk measurement. High equity is low risk low return, low equity is often high risk, high return. So depending on how eager you are to grow, should determine your equity approach.

@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate Жыл бұрын

Yes. It depends what phase of life you're in: INCOME or GROWTH. I'm in growth, as are most people watching the video. I wanted growth. Always keep high cash reserve es to offset any bumps or crashes

@ericjgarber Жыл бұрын

Great video, Chris. ROE is extremely important for people to understand...took me a long time to really understand and one thing that helped is just looking at it from the perspective of opportunity cost (seems like people generally understand that concept but rarely apply it to REI). In other words, the equity tied up in a property has an opportunity cost, so you should regularly (once/yr) be re-evaluating that property's performance from the perspective of opportunity cost (or in other words, would your money be working harder for you in some other way). Another concept that you preach that you mention but gloss over is when you are regularly re-evaluating your property's performance, you need to look at it in today's numbers and answer the question: "would I re-buy this property today with these numbers?"... Keep up the great work Chris!

Great video but I don't see how you count depreciation as income. Maybe if you calculated your tax savings per year because of the depreciation that could be counted as income. But you don't get a dollar-for-dollar tax-saving for depreciation it just lowers your taxable income. I could probably benefit from a more in-depth video on that topic.

@BuildingWealthWithRealEstate Жыл бұрын

Yes, that’s how you want to calculate. It’s the most complicated part of real estate. It’ll save you paying taxes, Or if you do some advance strategies, you can get a tax refund with it. Look up the cost seg video with Yonah Weiss I did on here a year or two ago

I know that there are lending programs with banks that will allow you to get a property with 0 down and no PMI. Only certain properties in certain areas that are designated by the bank will be approved for that type of financing. Then typically one of the requirements is that you don’t own any other property.

I'm asking BP if I can do a full video on it. In our first recording, I tried to go into details on the business side too. but it turned into "a numbers soup" that even my own editing team couldn't figure out. haha The ROE concept is one that very few investors understand. As an entrepreneur, I always look for ways to find untapped niches. ROE is a big one. I have a brokerage team in CO that does about $100mm a year in sales. The majority of transactions are investments, with many being equity optimization deals. Once the light bulb went off, I started telling every investor I could connect with.
