How to Build a Rental Portfolio FAST Without Tons of Time or Money

If you want to build a rental portfolio, you need to know how to scale the right way. Buying a property every year or two is good, but it won’t give you the financial freedom you desire. However, if you know how to double, triple, or quadruple the amount of real estate you’re acquiring without adding tons of tasks (or stress) to your plate, you could be financially independent faster than you’ve ever thought. This is precisely what Niti Jamdar & Palak Shah did, building a ten-million-dollar real estate portfolio in less than a decade.
As two burnt-out corporate workers, Niti and Palak were tired of putting their jobs before their future family. So after having children, they realized it was time to start building something that would help them regain their freedom instead of shackling them to golden handcuffs. With a busy schedule and little time, Niti and Palak were forced to automate, delegate, and systematize their real estate business. And now, you can copy their exact steps.
In their newest book, “Accelerate Your Real Estate: Build a Hands-Off Rental Portfolio with the SCALE Strategy,” Niti and Palak uncover the five-step system to unlock eight-figure wealth. They used this same strategy to build their portfolio with little free time or money to throw at projects. In this episode, they’ll review these five BRRRR-inspired steps, explain why today’s market isn’t what most people think it is, and debunk the myths that’ll stop you from investing.

TL;DR - BRRR & SCALE Buy - Scalable acquisition and deal analysis (how to buy property, identify neighborhood, build deal pipeline) Rehab - Construction (w/o the DIY, find contractors, etc to help you scale/build team in that rehab location) Rent - Adding cashflow (how do you rehab to attract great tenants and maximize rent you get, putting systems/teams in place to deal with problems) Refinance - Leverage & Commercial financing (understand short/long term financing, getting past 10 loan limits) Repeat - Exponential growth (treat like a business, put systems & people in place to scale fast, focus on 20% of things to get 80% of results)

Great episode, just pre-ordered the book!
This was such an amazing interview. When listening... you can notice their experience and passion. One of the biggest takeaways for me was that if a unit is not cash flowing, you can creatively add value to your unit (through additions and modernization)so that you can demand more rent so that its cash flows or gains greater cashflow to support other units in your portfolio. Amazing!.
One of the best interviews and interviewees. They are really trying to share what they learned . Very informative and practical.
One of the best and informative videos I have ever listened that shares the real life in real estate investing. Good job!
One great takeaway @28:70 is looking at the right area before you start looking at deals.
If you can't retire off cashflow or it's ok if the property doesn't cashflow day 1 how did you both quit your high paying jobs? If you didn't have alot of capital how are you buying 10 properties at a time? Even using hard money you still are going to need alot of cash to buy multiple properties at once. First 10 properties using residential mortgages you have to buy in your own name if you want to sleep at night and not trigger the due on sale clause.

Great question! First Palak quit her job, and we built our lifestyle around just one income. It took me 4 years of investing to quit my job. We used a lot of my income/401k, etc. combined with hard money loans to finance the properties. As you get more experience with BRRRR, lenders will allow you to bring a lot less cash to the table. We got to a point where we were only brining $10k of our own cash to the table to buy a single family home. We did buy a few properties in our personal name at first, but then we moved them over to an LLC. This is because of liability reasons - if there is a lawsuit at a property in your personal name, they can come after your personal assets. This is why we always buy investment properties under an LLC.

Although these two seem like a power couple and making great moves in the REI world, I do keep going back to their corporate lives. They both were making multiple 6 figures to start out with (I’m assuming from their corporate titles). I’m sure it’ll be a lot more difficult for the rest of us entry level, paycheck to paycheck, running this constant rat race kind of people.
Did someone understand what they actually did? They kept going on about systems and processes but what about actual information? How do you find deals? Do you pull out all your capital from deals? If not then how do you find all your exponential growth?

I live in New York , any good deals on the market you either fight over for or are already in the hands top investors before you even get a chance . I don’t see how not having a huge capital will work in the ny market .

Great question! Real estate goes up over a long period of time. Let me give you an example. When my daughter was 2 years old, we bought a house for $200k, with a 15 year mortgage. In 15 years, by the time my daughter goes to college, the house will be paid off, it will have appreciated a lot over 15 years. So at that point, we can either sell the house or do a cash-out refinance to pay my daughter's college tuition! Remember building wealth is about owning assets, and owning them for a long period of time!
Coupon only took $1.59 off.
So how does one scale as fast, getting systems and processes in place with a lower income job. Correct me if I’m wrong, those with lower income jobs may have to row the boat harder compared to those that are in a higher tax bracket. Those in a higher tax bracket are able to save more and invest more compared to those that aren’t. I just really want more insight on the beginning process. The working at corporate, the budget that was in place. The salary that they had. What portion of their salary had they put towards investing. I feel those are more digestible questions, well for those that are more new.

My CPA told me to speak with a real estate attorney so I can make sure my LLC is set up properly. Do I absolutely need a real estate attorney to start an LLC as a brand new investor? Real estate attorneys are not cheap for their time and I’ve already set up two LLCs for other businesses on my own.

They said little money both they were working cooperate jobs engineer etc. They say cash flow is not important which shows that they really didn't have to struggle with money. If you didn't blow all your cash flow from all your properties in month for issues HVAC replacement etc and you have to use the cap-x, but at the same time trying to save up for another property. You have to use our w2 and side hustles income. Regardless, it was waste of time.

When you say a property that doesn’t cash flow AFTER a refinance in a brrr wouldn’t have cash flowed under a conventional loan either, I don’t follow you.. If you bought a property at 20% down cash, and it cash flows… it doesn’t mean it will cash flow if you refinanced and took out another loan on it?!

What David means is that a property needs to cash flow - whether you buy it rent ready, or whether you BRRRR it. When you refinance, you can typically get 75% to 80% LTV, just like you would if you bought a property rent-ready. So if a property doesn't cash flow for rent ready, it won't cash flow if you BRRRR it either. That is why it is important to select the right city/nighborhood to invest in!

BRRRR Stands for Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance and Repeat. It is a way to buy properties, rehab them to force the appreciation, and rent them out. And then refinance to pull your cash out. This allows you to buy multiple properties each year, and build your rental portfolio fast! The SCALE framework we discussed in this episode is a framework to implement BRRRR with limited capital and limited time. Our book Accelerate Your Real Estate shows you how to do this!
