House Money Podcast Episode 13 includes:

House Money Weekly

In this week’s House Money Weekly segment, your hosts discuss blog 115 – what do look for in an inspection. Even though they cost $500-$800, inspections are very, very worth it. None of the hosts have had a clean report, though, so that’s to be expected. Alan thinks of inspections as an opportunity to ask for the price of problems found, plus a headache fee. Thus, you get the cost of your inspection back. Alan tells a recent story about the reason a client backed out after an inspection. Tom accuses Alan of being a slum lord. Alan also suggests running potential improvements by the inspector. The number one thing to look for in an inspection is water damage and intrusion.

Real Estate Is Easy Interview

Lauren interviews Nita the inspector! She’s from Cleveland, and she got into this space from seeing a lot of bad inspections from her own properties and her clients. Nita talks about what it takes to become an inspector. She has many opinions about the future of the inspection space and changes that should be made too, which is interesting. Naturally, Lauren and Nita dive into what an inspection is, what they cost, what the reports are like, and what to look for. Nita had an interesting answer to the question, how do you make real estate easy? She simply decided not to quit.

Teatime with Tom

Tom’s segment is about being trendy – how do you update without being trendy? Specifically, we’re seeing a lot of white brick and black trim. Alan figures trends last 10 years, but he’s doing a lot of black and white tile to try to combat this effect. Sheet rock is fine, but it’s the wainscoting and shiplap that we’re seeing that’s going to be dated. What about brown paneling? Lauren says she might leave it if she bought a place with it now. Tom learned lessons early that putting in trendy things in rentals is less important than putting in finishes that will last. Alan is updating his primary and isn’t thinking about value, rather, he’s thinking about enjoyment. Tom feels the same.

Real Estate Is Easy Interview

Lauren interviewed Humzah Khraim, a landscaping professional from Atlanta. Landscaping, according to Humzah, exists to both protect the house and enhance its beauty. Of course, homeowners and investors alike are looking for curb appeal.  Once we work within nature, within our climate zone, we can make that happen. Humzah recommends building relationships with people you get along with, from plumbers to electricians to landscapers. They will steer you towards sustainable options. What’s the highest return on investment? Getting that inside-outside living vibe. But stay away from wooden decks by using pavers or stone. Should tenants be responsible for taking care of the yard? Probably not. Humzah emphasizes building beautiful neighborhoods and being a good steward of your property.

House Money Weekly

This week, the House Money hosts discussed House Money 106, should I wait for interest rates to drop? Now could actually be the best time to buy, according to Alan. If it cash flows today, great. If interest rates go up, no problem. Keep the rate. If interest rates go down, no problem. Refinance it. Lauren added that the idea of Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) is talked about when it comes to the stock market, but we should apply it to real estate as well. Just keep buying. Tom’s first rate was 6.875% 18 years ago. His highest is 7.5% now. Alan points out that real estate isn’t getting rich quick, it’s getting rich eventually.

Teatime with Tom

New regulations with Dallas short-term rentals. Remember to have a black-up plan for your short-term rentals. Be ready to pivot to long-term rentals or mid-term rentals. In this case, the Dallas regulation change shouldn’t be a huge surprise, as it was months in the making, but they didn’t grandfather any in.

A lot of real estate investors get their start by house hacking. House hacking is typically when you buy a multifamily property and rent out the other unit(s) to cover most or all of your mortgage payment. That is exactly what today's guest, Jordan Moorhead did. His first property was a duplex, which he rented one side and lived in the other and actually covered his entire mortgage plus had additional cash flow!

With this strategy being so successful, he then repeated it multiple times with many BRRRRs along the way. You'll learn how Jordan quickly scaled his portfolio, his seller financing story, and why and how he cashed out his IRA to buy a property.

Today's guest is Logan Haskett, an investor from Kansas City who started investing in real estate when he was just 21 years old. Alan and Logan break down how Logan purchased a home for only $10k, renovated it, and sold it for $140k.

The method he used to sell this property is very unconventional and so creative. This method is called "Contract to Deed" and proves that getting creative with your deals can open many doors for you (literally and figuratively).

Today's guest is Donovan Ruffin, a real estate investor from Ohio who started investing in real estate as a side hustle while working a 9-5. After having success with fix and flips, Donovan was able to replace his paycheck and made real estate his full-time business. While fix and flips were helping him create wealth, he saw an oppourtunity in wholesaling to take his career to the next level. 

Today, Donovan has done over 2500+ real estate deals and continues to grow his business bigger than he ever imagined. The best part is he used little to none of his own money. It all started with drive, motivation, and some bandit signs to get him to where he's at today.
