Creative Real Estate Deals From Duplex's To Self Storage With Mike Hicks. Mike started buying rentals at the age of 19 and has never stopped buying real estate since! The journey from duplex to self storage began when Mike saw a fixer upper duplex on a rural route. He contacted the bank that owned them and bought 2 duplex's for $72k. Mike is attracted to opportunities. He was driving for dollars and found another duplex. He likes to follow Bill Cooks methods of tracking down the owner and going to their house to knock on the door and create a discussion about buying the property with seller financing. He began the discussion about seller financing. The seller and Mike talked about Boy Scouts for 45 minutes building rapport with the seller. Bill teaches that you should focus on terms more than price and Mike negotiated seller financing for 3% interest on 3 duplex's. Those 3 duplex's led to the opportunity to create the financing to purchase the self storage facility. He had persistently followed up with the seller of the self storage for 3 years. He had plans to walk the seller financing from the duplex's to the self storage but ran into some obstacles which created a change in his strategy. Mike created seller financing on the self storage which included no payments for the 1st six months. The self storage had people living inside some of the climate controlled units, some units were rented below market and some had never been locked out. Mike resolved the issues as he encountered them and created a really sweet deal as he repositioned the facility!

This week we talk with Tom Berry who has a very inspiring story and has achieved so much investing in real estate. Tom started off wholesaling like many investors and that put food on his table. He then set a goal of creating $2M of net worth and that became the game changer. How did he do it? What path did he follow and was he lucky or just that good? Tom invested heavily in his net worth completely, without needing banks, buying real estate assets including single family homes and multi-family apartment complex's in Houston. He learned to buy off market deals, add value and become an excellent landlord and property manager while focusing on hitting his net worth goals.

Ep. 127 - Numbers Real Estate Investors Must Know

Episode 105 From Flipping Cars To Flipping Houses

This week's podcast is all about the Good, Bad and the Ugly of Section 8. Your host, Jim Ingersoll, covers all the bases to help you, the Landlord, see the entire picture and help you determine whether you want to rent to Section 8 tenants. 1. What is Section 8?: Section 8 is a government program that dates back to the Housing Act of 1937. Section 8 pays rent for over 3 to 4 million low-income households. A variety of Section 8 programs are available to low-income tenants, but the most popular is the voucher choice program. This program will pay either a portion of the tenant’s rent or all of the tenant’s rent depending on the individual tenant’s financial situation. 2. The Good: Most Landlords either love or hate the Section 8 program. They love it because they don’t have to worry about receiving full payment of their rent on-time, every single month. They don’t need to worry about checks being “lost in the mail” and a million other excuses tenants use to not pay their rent on time every month. And they love it because they can charge a lot for their rent. 3. The Bad: One of the reasons that some landlords don’t like Section 8 is the government regulation involved. They don’t want the government involved with their rental properties. The government puts regulation on all Section 8 properties. The regulation includes a safety inspection when the tenant moves in and ongoing inspections at least annually. After the inspection process, you’ll need to fix every item on their list before the tenant is approved for move-in. The inspection criteria is more stringent than most landlords expect, so the expense can be costly. Section 8 agencies are typically under-staffed and over-worked. This can result in a slow process of getting through the inspections, the contracts, tenants moving in, and waiting for your first check to arrive. 4. The Ugly: Another primary concern is the quality of the tenant. Landlords fear that Section 8 tenants may be rough on their property, and not properly maintain the house or call when there are issues like leaking water. Sometimes the tenants have large families or invite others to move in with them to share remaining expenses or even sublet out the couch. Extra people can lead to heavy wear and tear on the property. The way to minimize this is to fully screen Section 8 prospects just as you would non-Section 8 tenants. Landlords need to pull criminal background checks, call previous landlords, and check everything regardless if the tenant is in the Section 8 program or not.  5. Bottom Line: Some landlords love the Section 8 program. There are real estate investors who have 100% of their rentals filled with Section 8 tenants. Others hate Section 8 because of the challenges managing the whole process. How about you? What are your Section 8 experiences? Did you try it out, stay with it, or drop it as fast as you could?
