Regular UpFlip viewers know Mike better for his landscaping business, Augusta Lawn Care. Mike was investing in real estate before he started his business, especially impressive when you realize he’s only now in his mid-twenties. He currently makes an average of $40,000 every month off of his twenty-three units, and that income is completely passive.
Today, Mike shares his real-world insights on how to invest in real estate. You’ll find out how much money you really need to get started and what types of real estate are the best to invest in as a beginner.
He’ll also share where he finds the properties he invests in, what he looks for to know whether it’s a smart investment, and what to do with the properties after you’ve invested to turn them into passive income streams.
Mike is living proof that you don’t need to be a real estate or business expert to invest in property. In fact, he bought his first property when he was still a teenager.
Whatever stage of your life or career you’re in, Mike’s real estate investment strategies can help you increase your earning potential to meet your business or personal goals. If you like this interview with Mike, make sure to check out some of our other interviews in the real estate niche:

What Mike is doing is really bad for normal people, he buys properties and adds value, which is renovation and jacking up rents. I have been in 3 apartment buildings in the last 6 years that got bought, and first was a rent increase, some left, some got evicted because they can't pay and can't find another cheap place, and then after renovation rent was at least double. Mike is chasing excellence and doing good for himself, but he is really taking out affordable housing for his area. If more people watch this and follows this, it's really bad for the whole country. Homelessness increases like this. The more I watch this video, I see how smart Mike is and what techniques he has, but I do feel for all my neighbors who had nowhere to go. Families got evicted, seniors had to live in cars, and I had to move out of a region leaving all my friends and family behind. Mike's place in Bellingham was 700 before, and went to 1700. I'm sure no sq footage was added.

He isn't buying buildings or huge developments like ppl do when they gentrify neighborhoods. And where he runs his business from, no one really lives over there. I understand your sentiments about displacement but trust, it isn't Mike's fault. He also is helping the economy when he hires workers (like property management and whoever works for his landscaping business). It seems he is also still able to rent to people who can afford to live there. He also has to stay competitive enough with rental rates to be able to do that.

When you buy a rental property that has long term yearly tenants, what do you do with them if you want to start Airbnb business on that property? Do you just ask them to leave at the end of their lease?

Don't do it. Even though you can make money on it, it's not worth it as eventually you will have to give it back to the market. As it is already predispositioned that a house is meant for residence, at the longest time one chooses. Anything more than that will eventually result in house prices going up, which then results in inflation. The interest rates are merely a means to protect the severity of inflation. Thus its important to not let greed win. Simply provide value where it is most needed and you will be able to afford whatever it is you require

Um so he bought a lot with a home. The mortgage is $3,000 and he rents out the back to a business and makes money off of that. It seems like a good deal as long as someone rents the home out for $3,000 and the back out for $2500-$3000. If one is vacant and he needs to make repairs or upscale for the business in the back he might be in a tight spot. Not the best of deals because I know he had to put down a down payment, and fix the home up and do all of the other upgrades. He will only make money once he sales. It may be a long long term hold. Also did he buy it with his own money or get his own loan through a bank or is it a hard money loan? I know the title said gross. What is his NET?

We want cashflow anddddd appreciation . Not one or the other. You have to get creative , like adding the secondary suite or backyard apartment . The deal has to cash flow i wouldn’t advise buying something that’s “breaking even” because even a $500 cash flow per door is actually the break even after you factor in maintenance , repairs , . Things come up it’s not smooth sailing with real estate. Brand new furnances break down in early years . Things unexpected come heavy hitting that’s why cash flow for sure it’s not optional . Don’t buy something “breaking even” (losing money). Appreciation is speculating which is nice but don’t rely on it . Otherwise if you do, go to the casinos while you’re at it . That’s gambling

@@22chachalaca with the rates going up there is for sure a lot of landlords getting squeezed but many of them can have fixed term or variable fixed . So most will not feel the impact until it’s time to renew the mortgage . Then I can see lots of landlords not cash flowing. I remember I even had a mortgage broker tell me that it’s okay to not cash flow. I laughed in his face. All my units are comfortably cash flowing even with the rate hikes. My mortgage goes up every time the fed increases the rates so it’s variable not fixed. Up $400/month per door. It’s crazy. But I cash flow $1000-1200 per door so I am still doing okay but if the rates doubled from what they are today it would be bad for everyone

It doesn't work anymore, for how much the rates increased from 3.5% to 8% you will only work for the banks ...this works only if you have a lot of money and don't go through banks ,in this case suits him because he makes a lot of money of the books and he does not declare anywhere how much he invests in a dilapidated house... he basically buys cheap, and turns them into profitable businesses with cash. Everyone who deals with construction and services of this kind knows well... there is a lot of cash to be made and he ends up not knowing what to do with them.

No doubt you’ve also explained both Values AND RENTS will drop at least 25% and more in coming months as listings of both have tripled in past 90 days in hundreds of cities. With Interest rates going up 200% in same period, that just made the ‘CAP RATE’ 4 % ON 2 yr T-bills, which measures up to R E rental income w/o the hassle. 4 million evictions are coming within 60 days now the PPP emergency has stopped mtg and rental assistance. Yep, stuff is about to get real, just saying.
