1066 - How Much Do Property Managers Charge? Here’s What Fees to Expect by Larry Alton
September 15, 2023 06:00 - 9 minutesMany landlords believe property management fees cut profit margins to a minimum in exchange for basic services to maintain your rental property. But the reality is that a property manager can simplify your life and smooth out the kinks in your investment properties—for a reasonable rate that maximizes profitability. A recent survey of landlords found that over 88% had experienced stress in renting out their properties, and over 44% had to evict a tenant. But before you hire a property man...

1064 - Should You Get a CCIM Designation? Pros & Cons For Investors by Andrew Syrios
September 13, 2023 06:00 - 10 minutesThere has been a lot of discussion on BiggerPockets about whether it’s worth getting your broker’s license. Still, the question of whether to get your CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) has been left mostly unanswered. I touched on what such a designation offers here, but it certainly isn’t for everyone. What is a CCIM Designation? A CCIM designation recognizes an individual is an expert in commercial real estate investing. Awarded by the CCIM Institute, formerly known as the Comme...
1063 - How to Buy a House With Bad Credit by Brandon Turner
September 12, 2023 06:00 - 16 minutesOne of the most common questions people ask real estate agents is, “What credit score do you need to buy a house?” It’s a great question. Experian reports the average credit score in the U.S. is currently 714 as of 2021—and those numbers are steadily rising year over year. That’s a good credit score to buy a house, although by no means the lowest lenders will accept. With some lenders, you can take out a mortgage with a score as low as 620. But according to BadCredit.org, 16% of Americans ha...
1062 - How I Make $1 Million in Annual Cash Flow After Less Than 10 Years of Investing by Zach Lemaster
September 11, 2023 06:00 - 12 minutesBecoming a successful investor doesn’t happen overnight. It requires patience, hard work, and the ability to reassess following any mistakes. Reflecting on over a decade of investing in real estate, I’ve concluded that five things have been the most influential in my success to date. These five things will also likely continue to be essential during my lifelong career as a real estate investor. In less than 10 years of intentional investing, I was able to acquire an eight-figure investment p...
1061 - Think Twice: Here’s When to Make (and Not Make) Gut Decisions by Andrew Syrios
September 10, 2023 06:00 - 14 minutesThe question of whether to trust one’s own gut or to painstakingly analyze any given problem has found different answers amongst different people and in different situations for centuries. On one hand, there is certainly such a thing as “paralysis by analysis.” I myself have seen numerous cases of wannabe real estate investors spend an enormous amount of time (and money) learning, only to never actually buy a property. You can even spot some “seminaraholics” at many events who have been to co...
1060 - Reverse 1031 Exchange: What It Is & How It Works by Samantha Hawrylack

Escrow protects homebuyers, sellers, homeowners, and even lenders with real estate-related financing—it supports those parties throughout the homeownership lifecycle.

1058 - How to Calculate Rental Income For Child Support by Ashley Friedman
September 07, 2023 06:00 - 10 minutesSo, the day has come to finally figure out how much your rental property income will affect your child support payment. You won’t be surprised that many states consider that pretty penny a critical component when calculating these payments. As with any financial analysis, it’s essential to understand how to break down the numbers, especially regarding child support. In most cases, parental income is calculated in its entirety. You’re going to have to provide proof of all of your finances. For...
1057 - How Long Does It Take To Build A House? by Jacqueline DeMarco
September 06, 2023 06:00 - 12 minutesCustom building a home is a dream many homeowners share. Being able to design your home exactly to your preferences is an exciting but time-consuming endeavor. So, how long does it take to build a home? Building a custom home can take as little as a year to upwards of three years. The reason it’s so hard to nail down an average time estimate for completion? The average time for how long it takes to build a house can vary widely due to the scope of the project, weather-related delays, and how...

September 05, 2023 06:00 - 13 minutesDid you know you can buy real estate using your IRA or 401(k)?

1055 - Why You Should Add a Contingency to Your Rehab Budget by Andrew Syrios
September 04, 2023 06:00 - 14 minutesI’ve been investing in real estate since 2005, and to this day, I have yet to hear any other investor say, write or even hint at anything that resembles the following, “You know, I have this problem where I’m just budgeting too much for rehabs. I end up borrowing more than I need, and I’m probably missing out on deals because my rehab budgets are too large. I just always seem to come in under budget.” I’ve gotten better and better at hitting budgets since I started, but I still go over more o...
1054 - Who Pays Closing Costs? by Heather Orr
September 03, 2023 06:00 - 17 minutesClosing costs are a crucial aspect of any real estate transaction, but they can vary widely, build up quickly, and be confusing to understand. Buyers tend to focus on the upfront expenses like the purchase price and down payment. Sellers often consider the repairs and renovations needed to make the home presentable for showing. But before the real estate deal’s done, buyers and sellers must pay closing costs. You can avoid unwanted surprises during the home buying or selling process by under...
1053 - From Living in a Van to Conquering One of America’s Most Expensive Markets by Kyle Spearin
September 02, 2023 06:00 - 10 minutes2023 has presented tremendous challenges for investors looking to get started. Financing is expensive compared to the historically low interest rates during the COVID boom. And, although they’re stabilizing, home prices have seen massive appreciation. Throw low inventory into the mix, and you’ve got an investor’s worst nightmare. In short, it’s tough to cash flow right now, but luckily, it’s still possible. Take, for example, Jessica Later, a real estate broker and investor who’s crushing it...
1052 - 9 States With No Income Tax by Joe Cortez

1051 - Everything To Know About Investing in a Fourplex by Jane Meggitt
August 31, 2023 06:00 - 11 minutesA fourplex may be a good place to start if you’re considering testing the waters as a residential real estate investor. It’s also a sound investment for the first-time homebuyer, as you can live in one of the fourplex units and rent the others—your tenants pay the mortgage. If you want it strictly as an investment property, that’s not a problem, although it may limit some attractive financing options. What Is a Fourplex? A fourplex is a multifamily home with four separate units under one roof...
1050 - How to Invest in Medium-Term Rentals by Anthony Greer
August 30, 2023 06:00 - 16 minutesMedium-term rentals are more profitable than long-term rentals and less stressful than their short-term counterparts. While they used to be mainly for traveling nurses and business professionals, they’ve become more popular than ever due to the rise in digital nomadism and the stricter regulations enforced on short-term rentals. In this post, we’ll explore how to invest in medium-term rentals so you can decide if they’re right for you. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/ad...
1049 - Surprising Migration Trends Show That Movers are Going to These Markets by Lindsay Frankel
August 29, 2023 06:00 - 10 minutesRemote work, rapidly rising rents in some cities, and a desire for more amenities are all factors driving Americans to relocate—but the areas drawing the most new renters are shifting, according to the new Rent.com migration report for the first quarter of 2023. Back in January, we reported that renters were showing interest in the South and Midwest regions due to relatively affordable housing available in many cities in these regions when compared to the West and Northeast. But as more peop...
1048 - New Survey From Opendoor Reveals Interesting Trends—Guess What Groups are Getting Competitive by Aly J. Yale
August 28, 2023 06:00 - 5 minutesIf you’re planning on buying or selling an investment property, having a handle on market conditions is critical. Can you expect a bidding war?

August 27, 2023 06:00 - 5 minutesHome prices across the U.S. had the highest quarter-to-quarter gain since 2015, as potential homebuyers are getting pushed out of an increasingly expensive market. The median single-family home value rose 10.2% from the first to the second quarter of 2023 to $350,000, a report from real estate data firm ATTOM found. It’s the biggest quarterly increase in almost the past decade. Median home prices in 565 of the 574 counties analyzed in the report (98%) were less affordable than in prior quart...
1046 - Is the Airbnb Collapse Actually Happening? Here’s What We Know by Lindsay Frankel
August 26, 2023 06:00 - 13 minutesThere’s no doubt that occupancy rates are declining for Airbnb properties amid a supply increase, but whether we’re entering an Airbnb apocalypse or just seeing a heated market moderate depends on who you ask. Nick Gerli, CEO of Reventure Consulting, began a viral debate over the future of Airbnb revenue when he tweeted a chart based on data from short-term rental analytics firm Alltherooms, which depicted average revenue per listing falling up to 47.6% in some cities. Gerli suggested the tr...
1045 - Multifamily Isn’t Dead—The “Meltdown” Already Happened. Here’s Why You Should Still Be Investing by G. Brian Davis
August 25, 2023 06:00 - 11 minutesHearing pundits talk about real estate over the last year, you’d think the sky had fallen several times over. Don’t get me wrong. The real estate sector has seen its share of challenges over the last year. Home prices in some markets have fallen after years of skyrocketing at unsustainable rates. Rapid interest rate increases left many would-be sellers feeling “stuck” in their homes, pinching supply, and left some investors with variable rate loans with thin or even negative cash flow. But ...
1044 - This Key Banking Figure Just Gave a Dire Warning—What Should You Be Preparing For? by Aly J. Yale
August 24, 2023 06:00 - 5 minutesThe leader of the bank for central banks—the Bank for International Settlements (BIS)—is sounding the alarm. Just this week, BIS general manager Agustín Carstens told reporters that “The global economy is at a critical juncture.” And according to the bank’s just-released annual report, if inflation isn’t tamed and consumer prices remain high for much longer, banks could see credit losses of a “similar order of magnitude” to those of the 2008 financial crisis. The comments are jarring, parti...
1043 - Do You Have Cash? You Might Need It For Your Next Deal. Here’s Why by Moriah Costa
August 23, 2023 06:00 - 6 minutesBuying a home hasn’t been easy for the past few years. Besides increasing interest rates, a decrease in purchasing power, and a housing shortage, cash buyers have also put a squeeze on some would-be buyers. Nearly a third of U.S. home purchases were made with cash in April, a nine-year high, according to data from Redfin that looked at the 40 biggest metropolitan areas in the U.S. That’s in line with data from February, which saw cash purchases reach 33.5% and continuing a trend that starte...
1042 - Data Shows That Only 25% of Median Earners Can Afford Housing—Here’s How to Make Up the Difference by Sandy Yong
August 22, 2023 06:00 - 9 minutesA recent report published by the National Association of Realtors reveals that the housing shortage and affordability crisis in the U.S. would be alleviated if there were sufficient homes available for buyers at all income levels. Currently, 51% of American households have an income of $75,000 or less, meaning they can only afford houses that are priced at $250,000 or lower. Data shows that of the 1.1 million homes listed for sale, only 25% are listed within that price range. To balance the m...
1041 - Top 5 Cash Flow Markets For Less Than $200k in 2023 by Liz Zack
August 21, 2023 06:00 - 5 minutesWhere have all the cash flowing properties gone? With high interest rates, low inventory, and purchase prices not budging, it’s becoming harder and harder to find your margins. It’s even harder to find a cash flowing property when your investment budget is modest. That’s why we loved Dave Meyer’s recent Instagram post covering his top five cash flowing market picks with average purchase prices under 200k. Sometimes all you need is someone to help you stop boiling the ocean when you’re looking...
1040 - You Could Save Thousands by Moving to Miami, But It Isn’t All Rosy—Here’s What You Should Know by Lindsay Frankel
August 20, 2023 06:00 - 10 minutesFor high-earners raking in between $150,000 and $650,000 annually, a move from New York City to Miami provides the opportunity to save thousands through a reduced effective tax rate and a decrease in the cost of living, according to a SmartAsset study. San Francisco residents can realize similar savings by relocating to Miami. It’s not that Miami is cheap—the cost of living is 22.8% higher than the national average, and the median sale price for homes in Miami is about 34% higher than the na...
1039 - It’s Time We Start Redefining What a Balanced Market is by Andrew Syrios
August 19, 2023 06:00 - 8 minutesIt’s been generally accepted in real estate that a “balanced market” has about six months of inventory. In other words, the sales for that month equal one-sixth of the number of listed properties, so, all things being equal, it will take six months to clear that inventory. As Norada Real Estate Investments puts it, “As a general rule, 5 to 6 months of inventory is considered to be a normal or balanced market. Over 6 months of inventory and we have a buyer’s market. If it is less than 5 months...
1038 - Did We Reach the End of Rate Hikes? What Happened in Last Week’s Federal Reserve Meeting by Aly J. Yale
August 18, 2023 06:00 - 6 minutesThe big news to come out of last week’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting was the group’s choice to forgo another rate hike. Previously, the central bank had increased interest rates at every meeting since March 2022 (with 10 rate hikes in total). The June decision marks the Fed’s first rate pause in over a year. Fed. Chair Jerome Powell revealed as much in his post-meeting briefing with reporters. He also delved into key real estate topics—including the impacts of a potential commercial...
1037 - Maximizing Profits With Fear and Greed: 10 Important Thoughts Investors Should Know During These Volatile Times by Paul Moore
August 17, 2023 06:00 - 12 minutesUnderstanding and applying these three sentences could make you wealthy: “In bad times, securities can often be bought for prices that understate their merits. And in good times, securities can be sold at prices that overstate their potential. And yet, most people are impelled to buy euphorically when the cycle drives prices up and to sell in panic when it drives prices down.” – Howard Marks (2013 Memo “Ditto”) I’m excited to share some thoughts about fear and greed. But I’ll start by sharin...
1036 - Yes, You Should Still Be Investing. Here’s Why You Need to Enter the Market by Liz Zack
August 16, 2023 06:00 - 8 minutesWhat the heck is going on with the 2023 real estate market? From high interest rates and high purchase prices to elusive cash flow, this market includes enough uncertainty to spook new and beginner investors into thinking the best course of action might be to sit this cycle out. Pro tip: Don’t sit out. You know the old adage: When’s the best time to plant a tree? “20 years ago.” When’s the second-best time to plant a tree? “Today.” Many expert investors will call this truth in 2023 in re...
1035 - Over 32 Million Homes Are at Risk of Hurricane Damage This Year According to CoreLogic’s Latest Report by Aly J. Yale
August 15, 2023 06:00 - 6 minutesWe’ve officially entered hurricane season. While the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says there’s a good chance it will be a “near-normal” one for both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, that’s not exactly comforting for property owners, especially given recent numbers. In the last three years, 13 hurricanes have made landfall in the U.S. One of those was Hurricane Ida—the second-most damaging storm the country’s ever seen. According to the Insurance Information Institute, Ida r...
1034 - As the Commercial Market Falls Apart, These Three Assets Could Be Your Next Big Opportunity by Lindsay Frankel
August 14, 2023 06:00 - 12 minutesOffices across the country are still sitting empty. The nationwide office vacancy rate reached a high of about 20% in the first quarter of 2023, according to JLL, and while big tech companies are pressuring workers to return to the office, the hybrid work model has led to an increase in commercial office delinquencies. According to Trepp, a real estate analytics firm, the office delinquency rate surged 125 basis points in May to over 4%. This spells trouble for the commercial real estate mar...
1033 - What Happened? An Analysis of the Multifamily Meltdown by Paul Moore
August 13, 2023 06:00 - 15 minutesWe all hate market meltdowns, and this one was bound to happen. We just didn’t know when, exactly how, or how bad things would get.

1032 - Barbara Corcoran, Unlike Elon Musk, Says Home Prices Will “Go Through The Roof” by Aly J. Yale
August 12, 2023 06:00 - 5 minutesAnother famous name is weighing in on the housing market. A few weeks ago, it was Elon Musk claiming that home values would plummet as commercial real estate faced headwinds. Now, it’s Barbara Corcoran—albeit a more experienced source when it comes to real estate—touting the opposite. The statements came in a recent interview Corcoran did with Fox Business’s Liz Claman. “There’s no relationship between the commercial and the residential,” Corcoran told her. “The residential is starting to reb...
1031 - Rent Growth is Negative For the First Time in Three Years—Is Your Cash Flow in Jeopardy? by Dave Meyer
August 11, 2023 06:00 - 7 minutesThe record-breaking rent growth of the last several years is showing signs of fading. Earlier this month, Redfin reported that rent growth slid 0.6% on a year-over-year basis for the first time since the pandemic. This is, of course, a modest decline in rents, but it begs the question: will there be a bigger correction or even a crash in rents? Or is it possible that rent growth will pick back up in the coming years? Let’s dig in. Where Rent Growth Stands When we talk about rent growth in th...
1030 - Is Your Tax Strategy Leaving Your Real Estate Business Vulnerable? by Lindsay Frankel
August 10, 2023 06:00 - 11 minutesReal estate investors want to avoid unnecessary taxation, and while there are many clever ways to reduce your effective tax rate, it can be difficult to simultaneously achieve robust asset protection. That’s because accountants and attorneys each have knowledge gaps that prevent them from seeing the full picture, according to Riley Neilson, real estate investment manager and founder of Flying ‘N’ Group. His business brings together lawyers and CPAs to help his clients achieve the delicate bal...
1029 - Elon Musk Says Home Prices Are Going To Fall—Is The World’s Richest Person Right? by Aly J. Yale
August 09, 2023 06:00 - 6 minutesCommercial real estate is melting down fast. Home values next.— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 29, 2023 That’s what Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted last week in response to a stream of tweets from venture capitalist David Sacks. In that series, Sacks claimed that Fed rate hikes and the increased borrowing costs they led to are causing a slew of problems in the financial world, including a soon-to-be crash in commercial real estate. That latter part could certainly be possible. In fact, ...
1028 - How I Found a Great Investment in a Tough Market (And in the Desert of All Places) by Paul Moore
August 08, 2023 06:00 - 7 minutesIs it still possible to find undervalued commercial real estate investments? I believe it is, and I’ll prove it by telling you a remarkable story about a recent investment we made in a Nevada self-storage opportunity. We’re in a Transitioning Market We are in a time of transition. From a booming market to a shaky market. From historically low interest rates to the highest we’ve seen in years.

1027 - The Housing Market’s Correction Isn’t Over And Could Create A “Mild” Recession—According To Fannie Mae by Sandy Yong
August 07, 2023 06:00 - 6 minutesAccording to a recent report by Fannie Mae, there are concerns about the housing market. The U.S. housing market has experienced some ebbs and flows this year, but it’s undoubtedly been in correction mode. With elevated interest rates and tightening lending practices, Fannie Mae is forecasting a “modest” recession with a soft landing starting in the second half of 2023.

1026 - How to Protect Yourself Against Future Eviction Moratoriums by G. Brian Davis
August 06, 2023 06:00 - 10 minutesFederal eviction moratoriums lasted nearly 18 months, from early 2020 through late August 2021. Even after the federal eviction moratorium ended, many cities and states continued preventing landlords from enforcing their lease contracts. Some cities went so far as to use federal tax dollars to give free legal aid to tenants to fight lawful evictions long after moratoriums ended. And that’s even after taxpayers paid for nearly 10 million rent assistance payments, albeit months after it did ma...
1025 - The Biggest Crash Imaginable is Coming For Commercial Assets by Dave Meyer
August 05, 2023 06:00 - 12 minutesCommercial real estate is facing a lot of stress. Many analysts and investors, including myself, expect to see significant value declines across much of the sector in the coming year. But one particular type of commercial real estate is facing the biggest crash potential of all: office space. And even if you don’t currently invest in office space, the future of this huge asset class will have large implications for the broader real estate market and the economy as a whole. The idea that the o...
1024 - Buckle Up Investors—Interest Rates Are Only Going to Get Worse From Here by Andrew Syrios
August 04, 2023 06:00 - 14 minutesBy most accounts, the Fed will hold steady after raising the federal funds rate by a quarter point to 5.25% at the beginning of May. A Reuters poll found that 102 of 116 economists thought the Fed was done raising rates this year, and 30 believed they would lower it. With inflation down from its high of over 9% last year to 4.9% in April of this year, it might seem like the Fed should reverse course now. But as Michael Gapen, chief economist at Bank of America, noted, “Inflation is more than ...

August 03, 2023 06:00 - 10 minutesDetroit, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Houston.
