What if you already have a primary residence but purchasing the rental property fo investment. Is the 25% a requirement? And what other advice do you have. I’m in San Antonio, Texas

So what if we don’t have no capital and don’t want to wait and save would having a private lender cover your down payment and whatever they charge when it come to paying them back would be distributed from what the property is generating?
Can we use this strategy to build a 4 plex ? Because Multifamily duplexes are hard to find today

You were very resourceful as a kid, good man. Fact that you’re a millionaire at 31, is amazing.

Awesome 👌!
I feel like rental properties are very easy to get into for the average working joe. In my town anyway, the cheapest properties have the fastest ROI because there is more demand for low cost rentals than what’s available. First home can be a $70k, 2000sqft duplex you rent for $700-$900/mo and also live in with an FHA loan. Very doable.

You can put 3.5% from an FHA or 5% from a conventional loan anywhere. I used $100k because its simple to adjust & calculate what it will look like in your market. While there may be a few markets around or even below this, most markets will be several times this number.

Hi Chandler I’m a 26 year old with 500k in cash. I’m have 0 knowledge about real estate. Are there any way I can get in touch with you ? Or a course one on one. Thank you
As far as I know you can purchase first property with 3% down as your primary residence. The rest considered to be investment, therefore 20-30% down payment. Correct me if I'm wrong. Or you just keep saying to the bank next property will be my primary residence? :)
By reserves what do you mean ?
What about buying a second property for rental?
Thank you for being honest about having reserves.
What about money to fix some things in the house?
yeah those numbers don't compute here in Hawaii. Thanks for the informative video though
Im in California so this example will never work. 100k? More like 500k for a flip rental at best. Please do a video with real numbers. Thanks 👍🏼

I'm in Los Angeles where the market is crazy. So a 4-plex here seems so out of reach. I really appreciate your insight on real estate. It's very motivating.

They keep telling me I cant do an FHA because it wont be my primary residence. It can only be 20% for investment properties.
well I figure there is no better time than now. I don't make much. less than 40k a year. in my state, and regional area I don't see hardly anything available that I could buy. Going out east, however, there is stuff to buy. If I need to, i'll travel across the US and live there for a few years to get myself in a better financial situation
thanks for making these amazing videos and helping me become financial educated
One other scenario I have is this, i have 70k in cash, but dont want to live in the 4-plex. I guess i would have to do 20 or 25% down on a investment property. I also have 20% equity in my primary home as well. What would you do in that scenario? Buy a cheaper home around a college town and rent out by room?

Hey man. This was a great video, however, I wanted to point out a few things that are going to mislead people. 1.) if this is strictly an investment property, that is not going to be occupied by the borrower, you need 15-20% down depending on the lender. 2.) For non-investment property first-time homebuyers, conventional loans are actually a minimum of 3% down. FHA is great but they have set mortgage insurance and it is for the life of the loan until you refinance into a conventional loan. Conventional loans with borrowers having excellent credit (760) the mortgage insurance would be significantly cheaper than FHA and will automatically drop off once 20% equity is made. You can actually petition to remove your MI after a couple years. Hope this helps and grind my friend!

So keep hearing how people should buy multi-family homes as their first unit. I stay in sc by the ocean. Real estate out here is crazy expensive. People who make these types of videos make it seem like it's a no brainier and everyone should be doing this. Can you make a video using my area as an example? Because I can't find a unit that will cash flow how you explained.

No one can accurately predict this, I remember in 2005 no one saw it coming, then in 2006 the slowdown started and then boom. In fact the more the person relies on the industry going up, think realtors, the more they are blind to the obvious b.s. valuations, just like today.
I recently started buying gpus for mining crypto. Ethereum to be exact. I have made 2 eth and I’m going to hold that till the end of the year. It will be 4x by that time and I would easily break even and be making profit after 3 more months. I’m buying with loans that last 5 years lol. I can’t wait to profit from it. With profits I’m going to get into real estate.
Hey chandler, I’m in the Dayton Ohio area and looking to invest. There are tons of cheap properties that have great cash on cash returns (20%to40%). But a lot of them are in very rough areas of the city. Would you still invest in these properties?
3.5%? How on earth are you going to get cashflow going with such a small down payment?

alright so I'm 21 and i currently make 5k a month after taxes. I just started my job so i have no money saved up. if my math is correct by the end of march i should have 12k saved up. meaning i only spend 1k a month, i dont pay rent live with parents. There's ready to rent 3 families in my area that are going for around 300k. so my plan once march is over is to put a 3.5% down payment on one of these houses. I'd also like to have them cover the closing cost or pay them 2-3% more for the house so that they cover the closing cost and I just work that into the mortgage. I'm fairly new to real estate so any advice or feedback would be appreciated. my credit score is 780 and I'm only 1.5k in debt from credit cards.

I've checked out several mortgage lenders and they all wanted 20% down for anything beyond a condo or single family home. Any multi-unit or multi-family property they say is considered an investment property so the 3.5% or FHA loan wasn't an option. Any suggestions?

Quality video once again Chandler. Question. I qualify for VA loan from my past military service, and don't see many videos anywhere about that type of loan (understandably). From what I gather, with a VA loan, I can go 0$ for the down payment (with no PMI) and any closing costs are rolled over into the mortgage. I always thought you could use VA and FHA loans as many times as you wanted, BUT, only 1 at a time. For example: buy a property with a FHA loan, refi down the road to a conventional loan (once I get the 20% in equity from just paying the mortage down), then I have that FHA loan to use again (same with VA loans). The way you mention FHA loans in the vid, almost seems like I have that all wrong. If I can only use one, should I go for the FHA loan for 3.5% down then for my 2nd property use VA if they are only 1 time use? Also, the only multi-family properties in my area are in a not-so-safe part of town and I don't think there will ever be any appreciation in that area without some kind of serious change so single families will have to be my go-to unless I want to invest way out of my area.

I have such a hard time with the fears I have of debt. We just closed on our first home a few months ago and we love it. Especially in this market, it was a miracle! We are now talking about a rental property, perhaps near a lake or tourist area. I’m just so fearful of getting into more debt and risk not being able to get a cash flow from renters. Anyone else out there have advice for someone who wants to rent an Airbnb? Thanks!!
You need at least closing cost plus down payment money. Especially if you don't have the money to buy it cash!
Great advice. One thing to mention is VA is no money down. Can be used up to a 4 plex.
Great video. So I currently have a single family home that I used the VA loan to own. My question is how do I do the same plan with a family with another VA loan and how much do I need to save. I currently live in Texas in the Fort Hood area
