Thats not taking into consideration maintenance and when a tenant moves out it's actually very expensive because you have to ensure it's cleaned and any maintenance done before a new tenant moves in. Then there's going through the process of finding a new tenant which is also time consuming as you interview them. That's also not covering major repairs. And then what if you get that rare tenant who destroys your property? Do you have the money to take them to court? Not to mention you need to draw up lease agreements, inspection reports and be available 24/7 if your tenant calls you in an emergency. Having 10 rentals is a full-time job or at the very least, a very very time intensive side-hustle.

This reminds me of the conversation I had with some dude at the beach in Newport “just buy a 4plex and live in one of the units”
Risk and also down payments. I want to meet the lender that will give me 2-5 million in debt with no down payment… you need 20% down for an investment property minimum, that’s at minimum 400k. Average American makes 70k per year… you would need 6 years just to save up that down payment if 100% of your income went to saving for that… which it’s not. Odds are to generate that kind of down payment it would take you 15-20 years. I am a high income earner with two houses in my name and I struggle to save 30k per year. Doesn’t sound like a lot but let’s put that into perspective, that’s 600 dollars a week. It would take me over 10 years to save that amount of money. You have to be doing some crazy debt shit to get anywhere near that. Your home is 25% of your income unless you’re living way below your means, taxes are 20% of your income. That’s 45% of your income right there. So you now have 55% of your income that can potentially be saved but most people spend 10-15% of their income on necessities so at best you’re at 45% of your income left to purely save. If you have a 401k contribution you’re now putting away 5-10% additionally just to get the employer match. That leaves you with 40% of your income to save and invest, even if you make 100k a year you are talking 10 years to get that level of capital to buy 10 properties. If you want to talk about cash flowing properties you’re talking maybe 7 years at the fastest if everything goes perfectly. If shit goes bad you’re bankrupt though. That’s also assuming you start at 100k. You are probably starting at 40k meaning you have 20k available to save which puts your time span at 20 years if they even approve you for the mortgages. If you add in inflation and housing value growth you’re now talking that 400k is growing to 500-600k before you even get there. Not to put the damper on this but the bank doesn’t just give out money. You can maybe work your way into financing deals that require nothing down and only look at potential housing income like dscr loans but you’re playing with fire because when you lose income on 3k per month of properties, you now likely cannot cover the mortgages. Investing in housing requires substantial capital and good risk management practices to ensure properties are generating income to keep your head above water until inflation and rent growth give you comfort. Owning rental properties is a drown until you can swim type of business and if you don’t have substantial disposable income you are going to end up below the poverty line more times than you want

@@Ratchet25the answer would be owning your own business that generates substantial income and then parlaying your money into additional business ventures that are relatively “hands off”. Why are there so many car washes? Because they are a low overhead, low monthly cost business that an “investor” can buy and basically just give someone a 50-60k a year salary to manage for them and collect checks from each month. I personally have a buddy who opened up a hand wash car wash that he never showed up to unless there was a problem and because of its location it was generating close to 2m a year. With recycled water, cost of detergents and waxes and his low payroll for the handful of employees he was netting nearly 1m for himself each year.

That means you have to keep a good cash reserve.

@saiyedakhtar3931 Interest rates have all but eliminated cash flow for new investors. Prices are relative, rents adjust. A building that cost 200k at 2% and brings in 3k/month gross will still cash flow if it costs 300k. It won't cash flow if it costs 300k and the rates 8% instead of 2%, without raising rent. It's the interest rates that are the problem. And for what? Higher prices, that difference goes to the seller. Higher rates, a bank that created currency on a computer benefits. And everyone holding dollars looses.
The math makes sense, except the down payments are around $50,000 for each house. Collecting $500,000 before 30? You better be working from 5 to 18 instead of going to school.

Alternatively. Get one rental house. Pay off the house then use the income to cash flow to pay for a second. With each successive one, pay off the newest house before buying another. Mitigate your risk. Don't bankrupt yourself. I can only imagine how that mortgage scheme would go if 3 of those 10 houses were vacant for 3 to 6 months.

I rented 2 houses simultaneously and the idea of breaking even as a goal is valid. Tennants will damage your property. They will get behind on rent. You still have to pay the mortgage, taxes, repair and replace aging equipment, legal expenses, dealing with maintenance contractors cutting corners, etc. I gladly got out of that game over a decade ago.
Sounds like a lot of work, interest, property tax, and maintenance cost. Alternative idea, invest heavily into an index fund and average a 7-10% return starting when you are 16 and do it until 65 and reap the benefits of compound interest and have a peaceful life leading up to that free from financial stress.

This financial freedom is amazing! Only costs your mental health and well being with the stress. No thank you.
That’s precisely what I did in 2000-2003 when I was in my late 20’s. I bought 9 homes on 30 yr notes. I didn’t make much every month but enough to keep it going. I sold 3 during COVID when the prices went bonkers and paid off my personal home. I have six left. One is paid off and I’m slamming away at the next one to pay it off and so on. When I retire at 57, they’ll all be paid for. It’s not near as easy now as it was back then to get financing on non-owner occupied homes though.
There is always risk. The bigger, the risk the bigger the reward. This is the truth.
Not to mention that if you're treating rental properties as passive income, you're either paying a lot for a property manager to maintain them or you're a slum lord who doesn't take care of his tenants. My uncle is a good DIY landlord who personally takes care of his properties. My current landlord has a property manager. My former landlord was just lazy.

The problem with this, it assumes YOU have good tenants that are paying and you don't have a bunch of non-rent paying squatters for years.
Look, if you are wanting financial freedom, start a business. It has risk when you expand such as bad employees, risk of lawsuits and such but there are protections in place for those things. Growing a business slowly is probably one of the best ways to financal freedom if you want that freedom before retirement age
I was the first person in my family to go to college or even finish high school. There is no way they would have lent me money to buy 10 houses. I’m 33 now and an engineer. I still don’t think I could get approved for 10 houses.
Yep in my 20s I "had" 7 properties. Half of them stopped paying rent. Just because. I had to sell everything to get out of the hole
Median home price is $426k. With 20% down on each mortgage all you need to do is be a millionaire before you’re 30 to get started. It’s that simple kids. Edit: imagine the loss of “cash flow” every month having to maintain 7-10 properties. There will absolutely be negative revenue. That’s a lot of roofs, plumbing, appliances, driveways, kitchens, bathrooms, landscaping and whatever else comes up.

Now 2024 I'm 37 and I'm ready to buy Another multifamily house at this rate I can buy a house every year .you need to invest a lot of time fixing yourself and help with the family by your self is very difficult
10 homes bought by 30 is an insane metric to hit.. most people buy 1-2 houses in a lifetime
I like how you did the hand and eye movements as if this was complicated
14k a week until the government says Tennants don't have to pay then in 2 months the bank will get worried you can't pay and will ask you to pay all loans go 14k a month to 3mill in debt and you gotta pay in 3 weeks.
Attitude is important. If you feel that RE is too risky and too hard, then it likely won't work for you. I rather think that those with strict Ramsey mindset might find the concept impossible. I was 57 in 2010 when my wife dragged me to a RE investment club (kicking and screaming). After listening to the descriptions for SF & MF (single & multi-family), I decided to dip our toes in to MF as a passive investor in syndications. Times were good. Over the years, we invested and reinvested about $7.1M, have harvested about $8.7M and still holding about $3.2M (at cost). To be clear, there are no guarantees. If you are interested, learn the ins and outs before you jump and do not put your eat'in money into it. Have a plan B! And at age 30, I was not incline to consider RE, nor did I have funds to do it! Regards!
Risk can always be mitigated.
Buying one rental per month that’s between $70-120k per yr is very possible. Most people won’t do it, won’t spend an extra 10 hrs per week learning investing or a money making skills. They rather spend time binging Netflix, fantasy sports, and complain it’s not possible. If someone just spent 10-15 hrs a week learning new markets, finance, and making offers it’s very possible. Also there are a ton of lenders and banks that will lend up to 90% of purchase ($7-12k down) or give out over 20-30 mortgages like DSCR loans or small community banks or blanket loans. People rather go to college and piss away $100k on a degree they don’t care about or use and go into massive debt on a car. People need to start spending time with people who are going after bigger financial goals and they more likely will too
Don't forget property taxes. Ours is a homestead meaning it limits tax jumps and we are paying 3600 a year for taxes. 20 percent of our 1500 dollar mortgage is going to taxes. If we wanted to rent this place we'd have to rent it for 2k a month to break even if it takes 4 months to get a new tenant as well.
My friends dad. "Just do what i did, get a union job with a 24 year pension like i did, then at 42 go do another 24 year pension and then invest all your money into properties!" He told me the 2 jobs. Theyre over seas in china. And the few facilities left hear still in america. Have no pension or healthcare into retirement anymore. Basically. I cant do that lol. Same job he worked. Gives a 3% match for a 401k now. The pension was 10.5% of what you made annually. Put into the pension. 100% by the company. You put in nothing. Now you have to put 3% aside. And they put 3% into it. For a total of 4.5% less into your retirement. That is souly based on the stock market doing well.
I have 11 rental properties and I am 38. There is risk to own rental properties but I don’t want to take the risk of losing a few millions by not doing so.
Ten rental houses in San Francisco is only about $20 million. Most people here can barely afford one house to live in let alone ten. You would only need about $2 million to start and I do not believe the average person under 30 has that much money saved unless it was inherited. I have relatives that own 10 apartment buildings, but they were purchased in the 1970’s when buildings were only $50,000.
You also have to manage and maintain those properties, that cost time and money. People act like it’s free money lol.
And the good thing is, you won’t have any rent issues or major repairs on any of the houses and your houses will never be vacant. Let’s see, by the time you’re 55, 10 water heaters, 10 roofs, 10 hvac systems. But what am i sayin’? You know to not have any bills of your own AND gouge on the rent so you can set aside money for these repairs. Just don’t gouge too much, your tenants will get wise and leave
Both my kids will have a rental property by 21 and focus on buying another house every 3 years until they own 6 each .
I'm 31 this month and about to close on my 14th house...
The cost just to.maintain homes has skyrocketed, new roofs, new AC, plumbing issues, plus higher tax rates and 200-300% higher insurance rates here in florida. Now couple this w/ 7-8% mortgage rates on a 30 year note means your paying 200% back of the purchase price. I call BS on this considering all the current factors.
Tried one rental home for a few years. Could not believe how hard it was just to find someone willing to pay basic rent. Had 3 tenants just decide to stop paying after a few months and then ask if I'd take half a month for now to let them stay. Sorry I can't afford 2 mortgages either. And you all wonder why rental property costs so much now. You ran most of us that were willing to take the risk of ownership for you out.
At that point if you trully are able to buy 10 homes just buy an apt building with 10 units. Easier to manage
I have one mortgage. No way my wife and I are getting a second with $100K income together and 780 credit scores.
There's also risk when you're relying on one income and social security.
Risk isnt the problem here its the reality that people under 30 are rare to be able to buy even a single home
Also if you aren’t putting money down how do you pay 10 mortgages for 30 years??
I showed my bank this video, they still said no
That approach literally means you would have to finically qualify for 10 houses. If you're doing that good you've already entered into financial freedom

You should learn how mortgage lending works before posting. Qualify for one house, then save for another. Rent out the 1st house and present lender with a lease showing how much you are renting for. They count the rent you collect towards your DTI. It’s extra income to the lender. Then you’re good to buy another. That’s literally exactly what I did. I have 11 properties in my mid 30s, started 10 years ago. Now I have 2 million in equity and I’m managing all my properties myself. It works! There’s risk in anything! There’s risk slipping in the shower and hitting your head! Don’t be a Ramsey sheep
Where I buy the house from?? With what money???
“I’m sorry we can’t approve your mortgage loan application” “Which one?”
I have 5. Yes there is risk but there's inherent risk in everything. It matters how much exposure you can tolerate and for his long. If you can't even take care of your own house do not but more property.
Isn't that the broke guy that was on Caleb Hammers' show?
Let's say the average home is 300,000. And you buy 10 Homes. That means you need a 20% down for each home. So you need $60,000 per home which is $600,000. If you have $600,000 before 30 you are already set financially. Most people don't have that kind of money
To buy an average priced home today, you need to make well into the six figures. And I don't know a lot of under 30 year olds who are making well into the six figures when the average income is not anywhere close to that.
It is not has simple as that. You will have always have taxes to pay, and there is no mention of maintenance costs. House are worth owning but they also have costs associated with them. Also, I would not be comfortable having a note out on ten houses at a time. I never buy a house that I cannot cover the mortgage on if it sits empty for a while.

That’s literally exactly what I did. Bought a cheap house. Got roommates to cover the mortgage. Then saved for another house. Usually took a year and a half to save for a 5 percent down payment. Then rent the first house and show the lender the lease. They count that as extra income essentially. Then buy another. I have 11 properties in my mid 30s, started 10 years ago. Now I have 2 million in equity and I’m managing all my properties myself. It works! There’s risk in anything! There’s risk slipping in the shower and hitting your head! Don’t be a Ramsey sheep
If you can afford 10 down payments and qualify for 10 houses in your 20s you never had a financial freedom problem to begin with.
Writing this down…
I love when these gurus start with "Okay, so you've got a couple million dollars, NOW what?" Like, bro... you skipped a step.
It's easy guys....he gave you everything you needed to make it big. Like, really big. Hell, if you're feeling festive, just buy an 11th as a Christmas present for yourself.
This guy and his kind of advice are the reason homes are unaffordable, even for people making decent income. Everyone nowadays think they can be an investor because of something they heard on a TikTok
Man when I was 25 this was the most relatable advice ever! I pissed away my 4,000,000 when I was 25. Fuck!
Lol that would be $10 million dollars needed in Toronto. No bank is gonna give you a loan for these properties unless you're already rich
Are we never supposed to take risks?
Please don’t do this. Allow people the same opportunity to own a home. You don’t need more than one.
Maybe because risk is the most obvious part of the entire equation and therefore he didn’t feel the need to mention it?
Not to mention that in 25 years that income wont be much and you arent factorijg in expenses like new roof ect
Aside from the satisfactory investment advice, does anyone know why there's a housing shortage? Says here that corporations only own 20% of the homes, and the rest are owned by individual investors.
