Anyone here into real estate investing?

Using debt effectively and responsibly will make you rich.
More than one way to skin that cat and I guess “rich” is arbitrary. I paid my last interest when I was 38 and retired comfortably at 55. I would have hated to of been carrying a bunch of debt through the 2 big market corrections but that’s just me.

Strong correction is highly unlikely nationwide. Could it happen in spots, sure. There has only been one nationwide correction in housing prices in the last 100 or so years and that was in 2008. This is nothing like that. Foreclosures are basically nonexistent and that will only trickle back over time. Demand will vastly out pace supply for the next 3-5 years. People that think the sky is falling need to look at factual data and not go off feelings. Using emotion in real estate is how you lose your a**.

My main strategy is the BRRRR. I love finding a piece of **** and doing a full Reno, and pulling the majority of my investment back out when I’m done. Then renting it at a $400 minimum cash flow. Hard to find these right now but my website ranks #1 for motivated sellers. I do flip as well if it’s a bigger house or there is too much money to be made.
I use a private lender now, but I use companies that use DSCR loans to do my refinances. Rates are higher but as long as I hit my cash flow target I don’t care. You just have to know your ARVs, Rents, and construction costs before you buy. You make your money when you buy. I am loving this market correction because people call me every day wanting me to buy their piece of **** house. For flips, look into a reputable hard money lender like Kiavi and Longhorn if they service your area. I also used 401k loans. Paid like 4% on the 401 loans to profit 72k on my last flip.

I own 4 rentals right now that average $425 per month in cash flow. All have been refinanced and I have left a total of $8,700 in all 4 deal combined. That’s like investing $8,700 for a 234% return. Real estate is king

Read BRRRR by David Greene. Also read the book on flipping houses by J Scott as well.

So much good info here. I appreciate it. Just ordered the two books mentioned off Amazon.

I hope this does in fact happen (unlikely). Because as an investor, I will buy everything I can at a discount
World’s Frothiest Housing Market Cools in Global Warning Signal

Looks like you’ll know by the end of the year/ early next year. The US Fed started raising rates in June this year (and we are already seeing a major slow down). New Zealand started raising rates in October 2021, and they are currently in free fall with home values down double digits as of June.

Land is the investment to go with. The Good Lord isn’t making any more. In west Tn farm land is going at a premium price.

Mortgage rates doubling this year disagree with your statement
Ok I’ll raise my rents accordingly? Everytime your taxes and rates go up my rent goes up. Voting has consequences 😀

Picked up a pretty nice 4/3 in a great area of fountain city this week that I intend to flip.
here are the number break downs
purchase:$155,000
Estimated rehab; $90,000 (going high end)
Estimated ARV: $375,000
I could honestly probably get 400k out of this house but I want it to move quick so I can relax for the rest of the year lol.

Should be some deals coming soon. Nashville now on third consecutive month of median home price decline.

I looked into Nashville for some STR investing but it’s way overpriced. Gatlinburg and pigeon forge is the same way. Exploring Chattanooga and Cape San Blas right now for STR

Highest new housing inventory since the great recession. The housing shortage has basically evaporated overnight.
