Financial Freedom in 2 Years By ONLY Buying Off-Market Rentals
Financial freedom in two years? How can that be possible with high interest rates and higher home prices? If you’re looking at what’s on the MLS as the only deals around, you could be missing out on buying properties that could fast-track your journey to early retirement. Taylor Wing, unlike most investors, didn’t go the conventional route when building his rental property portfolio. But, walking the road less traveled has paid off significantly, as he has already found financial freedom in less time than it takes most investors to buy their first property!
Taylor’s career trajectory was cut and dry from the start. After graduating from West Point, he entered the Army and knew exactly how rankings, raises, and benefits would work from the day he started until the day he retired. This rigidity didn’t sit well with an entrepreneurial-minded, soon-to-be investor like Taylor. After his first house hack, and a very successful BRRRR, Taylor went full-throttle on investing.
Now, just two years later, he has a portfolio of over thirty rental units, a Rolodex full of private money lenders, and teams in multiple states ready to help him grow. So what sets Taylor apart from the rest? Aside from his resilience, Taylor chose to take action once he had enough information, instead of falling victim to analysis paralysis. If you follow Taylor’s advice, you too could grow a portfolio as fast as he did.

You and your Major should be a guest for Bigger Pockets! I would love to hear more of your story!!
What is stuck to me the most from this episode it how the guest speaker has so much confidence speaking on real estate, but he is just a regular guy as many of us with regular jobs. And how just by putting into practice what we learn in real estate can make you grow. There is no secret... it's action! Very inspiring!
Several thoughts 1. This investor Tylor Wing for being in his 20's is highly impressive. His communication skills and his aptitude are what you would expect from someone much older and way more experienced in real estate. 2. This cohost Jamil Damji ask much better questions than Rob Abasolo. He allows David Greene to go back to sleep like he did when he cohost with Brandon Turner . 3. I would have liked some deeper questions such as how he financing his deals. There is no way you can do seller financing on all of his deals. 4. I would have like to learn how much gross rent and net operating profit is he taking home each month. 5. Did David Greene really leave this interview to eat? I hope not.

Good podcast. Taylor has a good business acumen and knows what he wants to accomplish. I would have liked to hear more about how he got the 30 rental units in 2 years. That is 1.25 units per month which means multiple projects going on at the same time. How did he keep all that organized? When did the properties start cash flowing? How long to find a tenant? Does he use a property manager?

The deep dive deal didn’t cover much details at all. I wish y’all would have covered, how much was or percentage was financed by the lender and what percentage was down payment. The note the seller carried for the him, what was the interest on that over how long of a period. I just wish you guys would have went into more details. Btw, great episode overall.
Great story. Very inspiring. Key takeaways are having the right mindset and taking action.
Wall Street pitched so-called quality stocks with high profitability and low debt, as a kind of insurance against whatever the economy might throw at you. Quality stocks have underperformed the S&P500 this year, My $400k portfolio is down by approximately 20 %, any recommendations to scale up my ROI before retirement will be highly appreciated.

@@franciscodelgado5143 probate has to do with a deceased owner on the title, so no. If an owner on the title were deceased, then that means they can't transfer title to you without it going through probate first. Subject to just means that when they DO transfer the title to you, their loan is not getting paid off. And you are also not assuming the loan (as in, the loan is not getting changed to be in your name). Instead you are promising to make payments on THEIR loan, which would be stated in the contract.

Do both. You’ll get LTR leads from STR sites like AirBnB. If STR doesn’t work for you, your exit strategy can be shifting by to a LTR or MTR. There’s a lot of ways to cut the real estate pie.
It’s hard to relate to this podcast being that I have no military background. I have a blood clotting disorder that won’t allow me to get in the military which is a shame because using a VA loan is smart but only people in the military can access one. So if you can access one more power too you but when something your born with takes away that option to serve and use that leverage it’s a hard pill to swallow. I don’t know why anyone who is serving or has served doesn’t do this because you get an advantage actually getting a loan with not much requirement.
