YES! My husband and I purchased fixer property at a huge discount, made them beautiful and rented them for much more than the mortgage. We've taken some of the profit (that is more than we need to live on) and paid off some of San Diego real estate!

First time home buyer and I got my home for 200k and it got appraised at 220k so that’s a start🙏🏼

I know 20% equity makes it in a rising market. No discussion about property taxes, 17cents-34 cents sq ft per month reserve for maintenance and repairs. COVID. The best way is to have your home paid for 100% then 30% down on an income property, make it stable and don't be afraid to lose it, buy anther same way and buy the third and STOP. Pay off rental property 1 use all rents and your contributions to pay off #2. Use all rent on 1&2 then pay #3. Now you own your home and 3 income properties outright.

You can sleep at night and begin buying cash for door #4 to whatever. I worked this formula to 38 doors with my Brother and with no debt. Still have 9 as 1 leg of my investment strategy. Your method works but for me if I wait 5 years between 3 and 4 it pays off without the worry and a bank over you head.

Great video Brandon. Simple and concise. It's too bad that some people are critical of the BRRRR strategy if they aren't able to pull all their money out of the deal after the refinance. They miss the whole concept that you explained which is being able to create equity to the point where sometimes you are able to pull all your initial money back out of the property when you refinance it. Anyway, thanks for your videos and the content you share with us.

Just getting in and I must be paranoid. What is to stop "your" agent, builder, architect, land owner etc., from "stealing" your project? If you submit a low risk/profitable project, could they not simply refer it to someone they know, but you don't know they know? How do you protect your project prior to closing on the land?

I would love this comment to make it to your eyes....please make a video for teenagers. I have a 13 and 14 year old who needs to hear your message in simple terms. I would love for them to save until they are 18 and buy their first income property. My nephew is so good in math. He would get it.

So did you miss anything by not refinancing year ago like meet Kevin YouTube channel guy did, . and than buying tesla shares wich tripped his liquid assets?

I'm so tired of everyone saying it's very hard to buy properties at a discount. You suck if that's the case. My favorite equity is BUYING AT A DISCOUNT. I think most are afraid to say this, especially on Bigger Pockets, because it has a negative stigma that you're taking advantage of people or something.
