  • Flipping America 425, No Equity Investing Pt 1

    Today Bill and Dwan Twyford are going to conclude their very interesting and potentially profitable talk on No Equity Investing. Plus I have a good chance of getting caught up with questions from you. Coming up now on Flipping America. 

    I realized about 5-6 years ago I was leaving money on the table by telling people there was nothing I could do. It took awhile to figure out a way to make money on a property with no real equity. And even though I eventually did, I didn’t have it down to an art like Bill and Dwan do. This is great stuff and there is a reason this call was one of the highest rated this year. Today we are going to hear the conclusion of the call they did with the Flipping America REIA a few weeks ago. 

    And I finally have plenty of time for your questions. I think we have a shot to get completely caught up today. So now I need even more questions from you. Ask anything you want about real estate and I promise you an answer.

    News Questions
    • Ken, Santa Barbara, CA “I can’t get my head around buying rental property 2000 miles away. Is there anyway to invest in cash-flowing property here in southern California?”
    • Justin, Colorado Springs, CO “I’m about to put my first flip on the market. My question is, ‘do properties sell over the winter time? Would I be better off to wait until springtime to get more money?’”
    • Alexis, Rosemont, IL “I have money from lottery winnings and I don’t want to be stupid with it. You are one of several people I’m asking. What would you do with $1.2 million?” I haven’t told anyone I won and I’m keeping my day job. I’m 31 and I don’t want this to ruin my life.” P.S. I’m not really from Rosemont, but trying to remain anonymous.
    • Martin, Auburn, AL “I am trying to get started investing here - buying rental properties, but they are usually under contract the same day they are listed. I can’t seem to get out to the property fast enough. Any suggestions?”
    • Hamida, Atlanta, GA “I don’t want to do a large rehab, but all of the deals I see require substantial work. This might not be the thing for me.”
    • Gary, Indianapolis, IN “There are plenty of low-priced projects here. But not big margins. I can usually put about 60-80k in a flip and maybe make 10-15k. I hear people from other places talking about 100k profits and it just seems like a different world. Is it all that common?
    • Chai, Philadelphia, PA, “I’m thinking about buying a flip in North Dakota, but it’s already cold there and I’m concerned about finishing it before it gets too cold. What do you know about flipping in winter there?”
    • Elliott, Raleigh Durham, NC, “It seems like the market is hot all over the United States. How can this be in the midst of a pandemic? And are there any markets anywhere where things aren’t selling at all?”
    • Deborah, Clinton, IA “How do you see the presidential election affecting real estate?”

  • Flipping America 424 No Equity Investing, Part 1

    What do you do when you're speaking with a seller and realize they have no equity in their home? Most of us will apologetically tell the seller there's nothing we can really do and move on to the next lead. Today we are going to learn that we have other options - options that could be very profitable for us.

    Bill and Dwan Twyford have been investing in real estate for more than 20 years and have made money on dozens of "no equity" properties. In a few minutes we are going to listen in on a call they made recently with the Flipping America REIA. This has been one of our highest rated calls in 2020. You won't see the visuals, but you can hear the explanation and it will open up possibilities for you.

    If you want to be ON these calls, it's easy and it's free. Just point your web browser to flippingamericaREIA.com. The upcoming topics and links are right there on the home page. You can click and sign up. The calls happen almost every Wednesday at noon and Thursday at 7.

    • Pamela, Phenix City, AL "How do you decide what color to paint a house?"
    • Raymond, Baltimore, MD "I got a new job - have to be there in 4 weeks. 250 miles away. So I need to sell my house. It's worth $325-350k. I owe $260k on it. I don't really have enough time to sell through a realtor. An investor is offering me $5,000 and take over my payments. The amount seems low and would this impact my ability to buy another house?"

  • Flipping America 423, Investing in Crazy Unpredictable Times

    I've stopped saying, "That's crazy" and instead now I just say "that's 2020." Has this not been the craziest insane year in a lifetime? So many things have changed - "normal" seems a distant memory and it's reasonable to wonder whether some things will ever return. This creates both anxiety from those who hate change AND opportunity for those who pay attention. I can promise you this: real estate will be here in our future and that means there will be ways to make money from it. So relax - there IS a real estate investing future and in this talk, I'm going to tell you what it is.

    It might surprise you that I'm not going to predict the market for the next 12 months. That's pretty easy and pointless. What I'm going to say is, if you know how to look for and think about the opportunities, you will do well no matter what happens. On this call I'm going to tell you how to look, where to look, and how to evaluate the opportunities God (or the universe if you prefer) is handing to you every day.

    You will leave this call armed with practical steps to guide you when the next opportunity - deal, investment, career - comes your way.

  • Flipping America 422, You have Deal Funding POWER

    What if I told you that you could fund your real estate investments by buying insurance? At first blush that doesn't even seem to make sense! But today we are going to learn that not only does this make sense, it may be the best way to buy ANYTHING! Borrow money from yourself.

    We are going to share a powerful technique that allows you to borrow money from yourself to buy things, pay yourself back, have the things AND have the money back. Sound crazy? I know it does at first. You can use this to buy a car, pay for a vacation, get that new iPhone. OR you can use this money to invest in cash-producing real estate and put your wealth generation machine into hyperdrive. (Yes, those blurry white lines ARE the stars as we pass by traveling faster than light…)

    Mark Willis is going to join us for this call. Mark is a Certified Financial Planner which is a pretty big deal in its own right. But it's more significant for us because he has regulators looking over his shoulder all the time. If he were to tell you something untrue, illegal, or even shady, he would lose his license. What he will be sharing with us is actually time-tested, proven, and I personally have done the math.

    You could be borrowing from yourself to fund all or part of your real estate deals. I don't say this often, but this is going to blow you away. It will change your life. I know it changed mine.

    Motivational Quote: “Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt “Landlords grow rich in their sleep.” - John Stuart Mill “Ninety percent of all millionaires become so through owning real estate.” - Andrew Carnegie “The major fortunes in America have been made in land.” - John D. Rockefeller

  • Flipping America 420, The "Quit-Your-Job Roadmap"

    One of the most frequent questions coming to us is some variation of this: "how can I quit my job and start a career in real estate investing?" Today I'm going to answer that question and lay out for you a plan to make it happen.

    In a recent workforce survey a majority of participants indicated they would be interested in not just a job change but a career change. Millions have watched the house flipping TV shows and thousands have caught the house-flipping fever. There is nothing wrong with this. There is usually nothing wrong with being your own boss, and there are fewer more satisfying career goals than setting your own hours, coming and going as you please, taking all the vacations you want and loving life like never before. It's a dream, yes, but it's not out of reach. I encourage you to consider a thoughtful course and today I'm going to show you how to get there.

    A career in real estate is not for everyone. There are a good number of people in our audience who love their job or love a steady paycheck and want to keep working while they invest in real estate. Our next episode is for you. Kim Kesterke will be with us describing the W2 Landlord. She will share her process for identifying properties, resources, and screening tenants. She self-manages a portfolio of properties across the country while maintaining her full-time job.
