One question that I’m asked is: “How do I actually buy an investment property?”

I’m going to walk you through it all today, step-by-step.

You know, even after I bought my first property, it would have been difficult to recite all the steps. This is partly due to the process's 30-60+ day duration.

Though real estate has made more ordinary people wealthy than anything else, it is illiquid.

[Watch the video version of this podcast here: https://youtu.be/9jH4_-Bwujs ]

It takes more time to buy and sell real property.

There's no brokerage "point-click-done" or Robinhood swipes here.

This is both a good and bad thing.

Because there are several steps involved, there is no panic selling in real estate.

This illiquidity keeps real estate prices more stable than nearly any other asset class.

This stability (via illiquidity) is one reason why real estate comprises the heart of so many wealthy peoples' portfolios.

Real estate prices are a smooth, glassy lake compared to the raging sea storm of volatile gold, silver, cryptocurrency, oil, and stock markets.

In under 28 minutes, I lay out every step that you must know for buying rental property.

This masterclass-level instruction comes to you without paywalls or logins. I've made it public and free. It includes:

Myriad mistakes to avoid

Improving your credit report and score

A clever way to show a higher income to underwriters

Where I get my loans

Market selection

Property due diligence

Making an offer

Get an inspection (Always!)

I’m in Birmingham, Alabama for a real estate field trip today.

Alabama is an investor-advantaged real estate market: low cost of living, some of the nation’s lowest property taxes.

Mindset: I tell a story on affording the time.

One of the most prolific real estate authors, Ken McElroy, joins us. 

I ask him about what happened to his 2021 housing crash prediction.

Ken & I discuss why there haven’t been more evictions since the national eviction ban ended.

We explain why don’t believe this will be massively disruptive. It matters. But to me, evictions will be a diffuse condition, not a sudden one.

Sadly, if a tenant owes their landlord tens of thousands of dollars, they’ll rarely pay.

Ken describes how he’s actively buying big real estate deals in today’s environment.

Ken gives a new “mark my words” prediction today.

Learn how to obtain a stream of mortgage payments by owning the note (an IOU).

I tell you why banks would sell mortgage notes.

Bob Fraser from Aspen Funds joins us to tell us more.

Fewer borrowers defaulted on their mortgage payments in-pandemic due to forbearance.

Learn why a bank will sell you a mortgage note at a discount.

Learn how to qualify for an income property loan today.

We discuss what just made mortgage interest rates for investment property drop 1% overnight.

First, I discuss the difference between adequate safety vs. too much safety for tenants in investment properties.

Too many safety regulations have a cost that gets passed onto tenants and even increases homelessness. 

Caeli Ridge, President of Ridge Lending Group joins me.

A few weeks ago, mortgage interest rates for income property fell a full 1% due to the suspension of added risk layers that were added back in March. 

For an income property loan, you need: 1) 15-20% down payment and ~4% closing costs. 2) Credit score of 680 or better, 3) Show sourced & seasoned liquid assets, and 4) 50% maximum debt-to-income ratio. 

There are pros and cons of paying monthly PMI.

Today’s “typical” income property interest rate = 3.75%.

What happens when you try to get more than 10 income property loans? We discuss the terms, called “non-QM” loans.
