  • From waiting tables to scaling up to 250 units! Today’s show is going to blow your mind.
    Brandon and David sit down with James Dainard, a real estate investor in the Seattle area, who is using his broad knowledge of real estate investing to do some big things! James shares how he got started door-knocking for someone else’s company to learn the business-and things took off from there!
    He also shares how he’s finding 60 percent of his deals from the MLS, how he uses local zoning knowledge to find opportunities others are missing, and how he made over a million dollars off an MLS flip! James has some GREAT strategies he uses, including combining flipping, wholesaling, and BRRRRing; improving the return on his equity; and “inventing returns.”
    You’ll also be blown away at how he created a 60-room rental (!!!) property that earns over $9K a month and how he saves money on maintenance and property management by running it all in-house.
    James is a smart, humble, and experienced investor doing some very impressive stuff. Download this one today!

    He essentially became a general contractor...this guy has a decade and a half of experience tons of hustle and was a full time real estate investor since early 20s. Tough for most passive investors to mimic. Still a lot of great information here. Thank you very much! Look forward to listening to this multiple times.

    Awesomeness!! Something I rarely hear addressed...
    On contractors: ie.building, Landscape, plumbers etc.
    Unlicensed VS licensed, insured, bonded.
    Licensed will cost more but they carry Liability insurance, commercial truck and Workmen’s Comp. insurance.

      Cowboy 94 yes they are both single family. We will be moving next summer. I think we will be selling the home we live in now and using the profit from that sale to buy at least a duplex but hopefully a quad. We don’t know where we will be moving yet so if we are lucky we will end up somewhere where multi family housing is an option.

    Hi , I have a problem to be solved. I am 1 on 4 siblings that inherited a house from parents, and have to sell basically because everybody wants the money out of it. And 2 of the people have their own family and homes. However me and my brother do not have our own homes and would love to own this home/property , but we dont have much money at all and do not fall into any conventional loan mortgage scenario... Any ideas in this, anyone?? The other two siblings( two sisters) just want the cash out of this , like yesterday! thank you for your expertise and suggestions ....

      @@radianthealth8725 is the house paid off or how much of the house is paid off and how much is the house worth in today's market?? The amount that is paid off is the equity. Say there's $100,000 left on the loan. But the house is worth $400,000. You have $300,000 in equity. Now everyone's split of the house is $100,000. So have to talk to a bank or credit union and take the money back out an equity loan or refinance the house to pay the other 2 there share of the house. Good idea to talk to a lawyer too. they want money you want the house.

      @@radianthealth8725 go to a lawyer see what leagally needs to be done for the house to be put in your name and for them to get paid off. The bank should refinance the loan for 50% of the value of the house. There is 50% equity left In the house and that would make them more comfortable with the loan. Then you just pay the 2 off that want the money after you refinance.
