$2M in Real Estate in 2 Years by Buying ONLY Off-Market
Episode #830
Off-market real estate deals can make you a millionaire in just a few YEARS. Instead of buying the nicest-looking rental property in the best area through a brutal bidding war, David Lecko went the opposite route, purchasing the properties nobody else wanted, finding deals simply by driving for dollars or paying someone else to do so. He went from a burnt-out nine-to-five worker to financial freedom in just two years by following this strategy, and you can do it, too!
David was working all day and all night, making a meager salary with almost zero time freedom. His boss, who worked far less than he did, outsourced his business and had rental properties on the side. David knew that to be in the same position, he’d have to mimic his boss’ path to wealth. So, after work, David would drive around his local area, looking for the tallest grass, the biggest roof repairs, and the worst paint jobs. He finally found his first deal, which cost less than a used car, but ended up springboarding David to make millions.
In today’s episode, David will walk through EXACTLY how to find off-market real estate deals the RIGHT way, how to get around the lazy lists that most off-market investors use, and how to turn a few properties into millions of dollars of wealth and close to six figures a year in passive income. And in today’s tough housing market, finding deals like these is even MORE crucial. So, what are you waiting for? Financial freedom is only a couple of years away!

Have you ever found an off-market deal? Let us know how you found it!
My hat off to David, as I too stopped buying houses after the 2008 crash. I loved buying foreclosures & bank owned properties. This young man is the poster child of the "AMERICAN DREAM", which is alive and well as we all can witness to after watching this video. GREAT JOB DAVID!
We all know what it's like to miss out on something and forget to follow up. Your story shows that being persistent and taking action is important. Great video!!
The Real Estate business is not easy and it takes a combination of hard and smart work. Every market is different also.

Yeah my issue is is time wasting. I don't mind putting in the work and time if I'm guaranteed to get something out of it. But put in all that time for very little reward then your like it's not worth it. One reason I like the gym so much is cause I know my efforts are giving me the payoff. Equal effort equal reward but nowadays you can put so much into something but get pennies back and it's like all that effort and this is what I get? No thanks
The quality of your videos is always top-notch.
I heard about real estate from another person years ago. Had been wondering the same thing David mentioned. These days most people are learning this stuff thanks to the internet.

Start with a owner occupied FHA property to get your feet wet. It’s very hard to lose using this strategy on a 3 or 4 unit property.

Try and figure out ALL expenses, this includes 20% down for cap ex, 5% for small repairs, 5% for vacancy, property tax, principal payments, home insurance, and potentially interest if that will be part of the deal. Then subtract that from what you'll make in a month there. If your cash flow is negative then you might need a longer amortization schedule to have lower monthly principal payments. Hope this gave you some insight

Keep it simple. You compare the houses in the area that sold near the house you want to buy. Your goal is to find a fixer then low ball based on the area. If they except you then sale the deal on Facebook or a real estate group member.

Read multiple books first. Audiobooks are good too, but reading books with examples is much better.
Taking the 800k house is way better if you’re an investor. This guest has short term goals (cars). So he takes the money and not all the upside long term
Sorry I dont understand if he said he offers 70% discount or 70% of the value? Is 30 or 70 for a house published at 100, thank you.

He's offering 70% of what the asking price is. I.E. if it's a $100,000 list he is offering 70k for it.

He uses Deal Machine. It's an app he developed that allows you to take a photo of the property, get access to the tax accessors office, and send a postcard.
Greetings David your testamony makes me want to come to Dealmachine thanks Jean
He said no I just learn from my boss about real state. No podcast or anything. Few minutes later, in an episode of the Bigger Pocket podcast, I remembered that you can't overpaid for a property 😢😂😂❤

Probably cause it doesn't usually go anywhere. Kind of the only downside about this investment is working with people. They can be a little annoying to deal with and don't want to be up front with you. Like job hunting you follow up they have zero intentions on hiring you and they can't just tell you that to be honest they gotta waste your time.

David trying to get them to agree to have negative cash flow for enough equity is comical . Just keeps re asking the question trying to get them to agree . Some people want the cash flow as the main focus not only the other factors . I’m glad the guy stuck to his guns .

I was wondering same thing too - it's a bit hard to hear clear but I think it's 70% off offers especially since he said he sent about 500 offers (35 a week) and did 3 deals - has to be the low side. Great he can automate otherwise lots of contract work - would love to hear more on how he integrates with agent
