   Number 1: His Local Area Got Too Expensive. Here's Where He Found Cash Flow With John Salcedo (Ep 587)

   John Salcedo started investing in rental properties close to home, but as property values, insurance, and taxes climbed, the numbers stopped making sense. Many of the properties he looked at would have generated little or even negative cash flow. Instead of giving up on buying rentals, John changed where he invested.On this episode, John shares how he successfully buys and self-manages rental properties from out of state. We talk about how he finds deals, evaluates properties remotely, handles renovations and turnovers remotely, and fills vacancies without being there in person.John also explains how he finances his rentals and the systems he uses to self-manage from hundreds of miles away. We break down the actual numbers on one of his deals, including the purchase price, rent, mortgage payment, and ongoing expenses. I am running a few minutes late; my previous meeting is running over.John also shares how renovating the property helped him create approximately $100,000 in equity.If you live in an expensive market where rental properties no longer work, this episode shows how looking beyond your local area can open up opportunities for better cash flow and equity growth.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode587Thanks To Our Sponsors:PadSplit - Earn 2.5X more rental income with PadSplit's shared housing model.Ridge Lending Group - Ask about the All-In-One loan.

   Number 3: The Overlooked Rental Property Most Investors Aren’t Buying With David Switzer (Ep 588)

   When David Switzer first decided he wanted to buy rental properties, he did what a lot of new investors do. He started attending local real estate meetups. But he quickly noticed a problem. Everyone seemed to be looking for the same types of properties, running the same numbers, and struggling to find deals that actually worked.That led David in a completely different direction.Near his home, he came across a small commercial condo for sale. It wasn’t a huge office building or shopping center. In fact, the property cost a fraction of what he would have paid for a single family rental. David realized there was a side of commercial real estate that most small investors weren’t even looking at.On this episode, David shares the pros and cons of owning small commercial properties and how the numbers compare with residential rentals. We talk about how he finds deals, how he screens businesses before renting to them, financing commercial properties, who is responsible for repairs, and some of the strategies that haven’t worked for him.David also shares the problems he has run into along the way and what he has learned from investing in a part of the real estate market that gets far less attention than traditional residential rentals.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode588Thanks To Our Sponsors:Rentec Direct - Automate the day-to-day work and make property management easy.

   Number 5: He Bought A Rental Property With Just $500 Out of Pocket With Justin Robbins (Ep 586)

   Justin Robbins got into real estate investing almost by accident. Before he even knew what house hacking was, he was doing it with his primary residence. That experience eventually led him to buy his first rental property because he liked the idea of mailbox money and earning a few hundred dollars a month in extra income.On this episode, Justin shares how he went from that first property to building his rental portfolio. We break down how he financed his purchases, where he found the money for his down payments, the types of neighborhoods he targets, and the properties that have produced the best results for him.We also take a detailed look at one of Justin’s recent deals. The monthly cash flow is thin, but Justin only had to come up with about $500 out of pocket to buy the property. We run through the numbers, look at the financing, and discuss whether a rental with limited cash flow can still be a good investment when there’s almost no money invested in the deal.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode586Thanks To Our Sponsors:Ridge Lending Group - Ask about the All-In-One loan.
