I was this guy once. At 36yo I got rid of all the properties, cars, liabilities etc, kept the cheapest house and bought a cheap car with cash. Now I’m 40yo, 100% debt-free, paid off my mortgage and never felt more peaceful and satisfied with life. Massive struggle to get here, but totally worth it and I’m doing all the reno’s with cash. Thanks for inspiring me, Dave!🗽
Yeah agreed . Overall his situation seems fine to me but he’s calling someone that is against the strategies he’s using so I don’t really get what he was after .
or maybe they been paying off mortgage debt over the years and have a ton of equity saved up... i would bet that when you were their age you didn't even have half of their net worth
I feel like most people know what’s right already and know what to do, they just want to hear it in a form of reassurance & then someee really just need a sense of financial direction
Without debt how is he supposed to make money? I don’t know a business owner who did not borrow to buy assets. And most home owners in my area had or still have mortgages.
I got 300k on two houses to include my primary which will eventually turn into my second investment. My fear got me to hunker down, rice and beans and pay off my entire debt.
I paid off my house in 10 years. Then turned it into a rental house and bought another. I make about 100k annually and I don't spend much. My wife and my cars are paid for and we have a good nest egg and savings for our kids
Great question from Dave, "Why are you calling us, how can we help". Caller already has his own plan. That plan doesn't agree with anything Dave teaches. Keep doing what you are doing sir if you think it works for you😉
Who is more free...the dude with no debt who is working 9-5 5 days a week for 40 years, or the guy who is 15 million in debt, making 40k a month and never having to set an alarm clock again for the rest of his life...this whole all debt is bad thing is just insane...the vast majority of wealthy people got there using debt..
No he's incurably STUPID just like the rest of Dave's loser fanboy callers. This guy needs svro feebleminded to own real estate. He's got a load of debts and is asking how to rearrange the debt,not pay off the debt. He doesn't sound serious about his situation.
I have to say, the guy with Dave really surprised me with how spot on he is with his advice. I remember him when he was in a different position and I never really thought he was ready for prime time. Glad to say I was wrong, he really has proven he belongs in that chair.
900k debt from a combined income of about 250 is alot worse than it sounds. People on these salaries and have this debt is total mismanagement . Their true income is much less because of all the outgoings
I feel like people are just bored and want all that stress in their life because it gives them a purpose but all that debt is is bad, yeah the guy needs some peace and try to stop chasing all the potential gains
Ok one thing everyone needs to understand is no matter what a debt looks like just because its a investment its still a debt. U know what not a debt when u pay a cell phone bill or a water bill or a food bill or Electric bill these are bills unless u dont pay them and they pile up. Then its debt you owed for the past months. People need to understand this if u knew this u would not be on as much debt as you are possibly in today.
By definition, bills are not debt, yes. What is the point you are trying to get across? If the bill is something that you cannot get out of, it's essentially the same as a mandatory payment on debt for all intents and purposes.
I like how he says they have a nice nest egg of $60k. My GF has a "nice nest egg" of more than that and makes around $50k per year. I have a "nice nest egg" or around $70k and make like $45k per year. How can he claim that's a nice nest egg with their pay?!
They are nothing alike...This dude has low interest fixed rate 30 year debt on cash flowing properties. Dave was getting 90 day hard money loans. Dave was like a monkey dancing on a razor blade. The tiniest bump in the road and he got wiped out. The problem is that he continues to equate the very high risk stuff he was doing to buy and hold real estate investing...They aren't anything the same and he as a bunch of un-educated people eating it up.

Real estate investing in cash is like saving up 100% for a down payment. At that rate working your regular job you'd be buying your first investment real estate in your 40s or 50s. If you've done everything else "right".
Did you watch the video? I would call this Daves greatest video I have ever watched. Investing in real estate with such low margins isn't going to get you far.

This particular caller makes HUGE money. Think of all the $ he could have to invest if he wasn't playing the debt shell game. A couple years he could be out of debt, paid off house and really investing heavily debt free.

I was thinking this. You’re not following the Dave Ramsey plan so why call Dave Ramsey. Especially because he’s actually doing well on the investment side of things.
@@abrahamflores2566 Its not proving Dave wrong, in that some people gamble leveraging real estate equity and win, in the same way that some people play the lottery and win. that doesn't mean that its smart to play the lottery, lol
I still don't understand why so many people take personal debt to finance their real estate investments. Either consider it a side business and structure it that way, or don't do it at all. It's literally called a Limited Liability Company, for a reason.
I think he called the wrong show. Y’all won’t believe how my dad played this type of game in real estate and he became a MULTI millionaire. With a ton of properties all paid of now. And they are generating mad income. This game is not for everyone. My dad keeps telling how to do it but I simply don’t have the heart for it. One thing my dad did was lower is his own expenses he did nothing but pay his debt and pour money into the property to buy more and more property’s. I had zero idea he was a wealthy man till I was going to college even then he didn’t spoil me at all I still underestimated his wealth. My is just now considering his first new car. It’s a risk but the rewards are crazy high. Just not for me. But don’t call this show.
Calling Ramsey to figure out how to "structure" your debt!?... liquidate everything you can to do the baby steps and use the snowball method to get to baby steps 4,5,6 as fast as possible.
@@abrahamflores2566 Exactly. I have well meaning people in my life telling me to sell my rental properties to get the quick cash. Yet they are far from wealthy. And now the dollar is losing value - look at our 401ks, stocks, etc. I think I'll hold onto my real estate.
Most millionaires have equity in businesses, not real estate. In fact, the wealthier you are, the less equity in real estate makes up in your portfolio.
Many many people become millionaires with leverage real estate. Not with nothing down but with 20%+ down with a fixed rate 30 year mortgages. I personally know many millionaires and a large part of their wealth was built from owning real estate obtained with 20%+ down payments with a 30 year fix rate loan. Wealth was made by the appreciation of the real estate and by the eventual pay down of the loan.
The only thing most dont understand about Dave is how he conducted business in his youth. I would urge anyone to look into that and understand that he was very much into high risk high reward debt. There is nothing wrong with what he teaches today but most would not go about real estate investing the way he did. He was very much a cowboy that took on too much risk.
@@sullimd I just find it frustrating in how he calls upon his past experience and compares it to modern day real estate investors. Its very misleading.
Exactly. That is why he is so debt adverse, because he got into trouble with it. It doesn't mean someone else can't utilize low interest debt as a tool for additional wealth building.
@@kensmith2796 low interest debt for 'wealth building' is the cause of this millennium's bubbles and has ruined developed countries and their economies for the foreseeable future
I have a question - I’m in the U.K. so can’t call in. We have a hybrid car. It’s paid off. My husband is making noises about getting another car (more debt) and getting rid of this one. The battery is now only about 50% efficient. We can’t agree on what to do about this car. We have no debt except the mortgage. I want to try to go debt free.
Exactly. Compare having a house you're renting out to people and almost all that money going back into the mortgage or the fixing of the property to that property being paid off and you put some of it back into the property and the rest in your pocket. There's more cash flow when you have less debt and one of the people at my previous brokerage wouldn't listen to how much of a problem it is to leverage debt. But it's alright. I hope she doesn't go broke.
I just hate the single family home rental business! Everyone always assumes that the tenants will consistently pay their rents, and this is seldom the case. The only real estate rentals that make any sense to me is commercial rentals, where you are renting Office space to companies. Unfortunately, to get into this type of business you need to have deep pockets, or you need to be in partnership with maybe two or three other investors. I don't understand why people who have such great incomes can't see that if they would just live a little frugal for a while and invest a significant portion of their income in the stock market or a mutual fund for just a few years, and then reduce the amount slightly, they would be well on their way to building significant wealth over a ten year period. In this example, these people should be investing about $60,000 per year!
So he's got 200 in equity on rental a, paid for rental b, and I'm assuming because he said nest egg that's not just 60 sitting in a savings account somewhere. 130 in debt between rental b and his personal non mortgage debt making 275 a year at work. I gotta disagree with Dave, it'd be different if they made 90. Sell the one you owe 450 on, take that 200k and put yourself at 4 5 and 6. Every penny from the rental plus more going toward their primary mortgage and they knock it out in 18 months to 2 years easily. Then you're piling cash and looking for the next real estate deal.
Why does Dave hate it when people have real estate? His renters are paying the mortgage, taxes, maintenance. Dave is always bring up his story from decades ago. But he hardly tells anyone that it was all his fault for taking out hard money loans.
It's how he sells books, fear mongering into followings only his plan. He doesn't teach people to make their own financial decisions, he teaches you shut up and follow the baby steps.
Just bought a apartment and added $30k bank loan to my debt with a $279k mortgage 💸 -Still got a student loan: $5200/$17000 left -Car loan: $44k/$50k left current value $68k -Make about $100k after taxes -My roommate (girlfriend) makes about $33k after taxes We plan on getting married once we got the money. And the apartment need a new kitchen and bathroom (not going to do this until other debts are paid off)
You don't need an elaborate marriage to tie the knot, just sayin' :) Dave's advice would probably be to sell the car, buy one in cash, and target the debt with gazelle'ish intensity. Peace!
This is a concerning situation. They only make a little over $200k, have four kids and a million dollars in debt. Neither one of them thought this through, God forbid if they lose their jobs. This is a disaster waiting to happen
@@hawkeye2958 there are details missing here I think. The situation could go either way...but being in debt 5x what your yearly income is ...is definitely NOT fine
Dave's hatred towards renters is a turn off for me - I have never been a bad renter, I always get a letter of reference from the previous landlord, I like living clean and I don't have pets or cause trouble. I'm boring.
I have lived with maybe 10 different adult from age 18-30. And I gotta tell you from my experience some people are absolutely the WORST renters. Some of these people don’t care about the landlord or his finances or even his property in the slightest. My grandparents are landlords as well. But man I would NEVER own/rent out multiple properties in this day and age. This younger generation is self centered and have no work ethic.
This is why real estate can be a dangerous investment bc you can become over leveraged and over worked. I stick to stocks since I have to cash flow all of it.
They deserve everything that coming to them. What they do to innocent people is awful. Thank you so much for what you do. It clearly is getting to them and love to see it. You guys are doing the real work here! This happened to my 97 year old grandmother and luckily we caught it just in time, thanks to these recovery!! THANK YOU *MYSTERY PLANET ORG* !!!!

@@abrahamflores2566 No, it’s not a nest egg if someone else’s name is written all over it. This isn’t rocket science.
@@Originalman144 then nobody with a mortgage on their primary home has any savings by your definition. As for the $900k in debt Ill gladly take over the payments and properties if any one offers
@@abrahamflores2566 Savings for a rainy day when you are deep in debt is not a nest egg man. Go read the definition of “nest egg”
if you owe it against something that doesn't make money, it's called DEBT and it's bad. If you owe it towards something producing money and paying itself, then it's called LEVERAGE, and it's great to become richer.
Many many have tried leverage with stocks. It usually doesn't work out well in the long run.
@@tortoisehead30 I’m talking about Real Estate
@@theforeignerinamerica1817 if his nerves can handle it then by all means. Clearly his nerves can’t take it that’s why he is calling. It makes money, but it’s not for the faint hearted
Until it quits making money. Then it's not leverage, but a liability. Anytime you have debt, it comes with risk.
I bet George looks like he’s 15 when he has no beard lol
This guy is probably doing very well and on his way to a lot of wealth, but he definitely called the wrong show.
If he is doing that well he wouldn’t be calling anybody for confirmation. Something he is unsure about that’s why he is seeking counsel.
@@kailit9984 even if he sells his properties today, he proved Dave wrong because he will walk away with hundreds of thousands in equity leveraging real estate.
Exactly
I was thinking this. You’re not following the Dave Ramsey plan so why call Dave Ramsey. Especially because he’s actually doing well on the investment side of things.
@@abrahamflores2566 Its not proving Dave wrong, in that some people gamble leveraging real estate equity and win, in the same way that some people play the lottery and win. that doesn't mean that its smart to play the lottery, lol
How do you sleep at night with all that debt? 🤦♀️
Because he has a massive ego and, thus, is in complete denial regarding the trouble he has gotten himself into.
I couldn't lol I would just sell everything because that's stressful. Then, it's really a problem if he loses his job
Sell the kids today, Skip the Beans and Rice, Water Only if it's Free, Keep the Wife as long as she has an Income
Hahahahahah 😂😂😂
I still don't understand why so many people take personal debt to finance their real estate investments. Either consider it a side business and structure it that way, or don't do it at all. It's literally called a Limited Liability Company, for a reason.

I think he called the wrong show. Y’all won’t believe how my dad played this type of game in real estate and he became a MULTI millionaire. With a ton of properties all paid of now. And they are generating mad income.
This game is not for everyone. My dad keeps telling how to do it but I simply don’t have the heart for it. One thing my dad did was lower is his own expenses he did nothing but pay his debt and pour money into the property to buy more and more property’s. I had zero idea he was a wealthy man till I was going to college even then he didn’t spoil me at all I still underestimated his wealth. My is just now considering his first new car.
It’s a risk but the rewards are crazy high. Just not for me. But don’t call this show.
is he selling homes, or renting them out?
@@commonsense-og1gz rents them all out.
@@shachede6828 while it is a hassle, it does seem like it would be awesome to gain 10k a month on 20 homes.

Calling Ramsey to figure out how to "structure" your debt!?... liquidate everything you can to do the baby steps and use the snowball method to get to baby steps 4,5,6 as fast as possible.
No...just no...
Not the best advice
@@abrahamflores2566 Exactly. I have well meaning people in my life telling me to sell my rental properties to get the quick cash. Yet they are far from wealthy. And now the dollar is losing value - look at our 401ks, stocks, etc. I think I'll hold onto my real estate.

Most millionaires make millions in property. That they have took out mortgages on.
Most millionaires have equity in businesses, not real estate. In fact, the wealthier you are, the less equity in real estate makes up in your portfolio.
@@d_all_in There are people that makes millions in real estate.
And you would be wrong! Quit listening to the internet gurus and fakers. They are in debt, nothing more.
@@alinatamashevich3354 You are wrong.
Anecdotally it seems like a lot of people that retire early have real estate. Wonder why Dave's survey doesn't agree...
Many many people become millionaires with leverage real estate. Not with nothing down but with 20%+ down with a fixed rate 30 year mortgages. I personally know many millionaires and a large part of their wealth was built from owning real estate obtained with 20%+ down payments with a 30 year fix rate loan. Wealth was made by the appreciation of the real estate and by the eventual pay down of the loan.
Yeah, Dave's just trying to sell books.
They make renters pay their mortgage. I know many millionaires and I’m getting there myself.
The only thing most dont understand about Dave is how he conducted business in his youth. I would urge anyone to look into that and understand that he was very much into high risk high reward debt. There is nothing wrong with what he teaches today but most would not go about real estate investing the way he did. He was very much a cowboy that took on too much risk.
Correct. It was beyond cowboy. It was so risky that the lending practice is now illegal.
@@sullimd I just find it frustrating in how he calls upon his past experience and compares it to modern day real estate investors. Its very misleading.
Exactly. That is why he is so debt adverse, because he got into trouble with it. It doesn't mean someone else can't utilize low interest debt as a tool for additional wealth building.
@@kensmith2796 low interest debt for 'wealth building' is the cause of this millennium's bubbles and has ruined developed countries and their economies for the foreseeable future
Good advice to the guy a little stessed . Two steps forward , one back . Smiling along the way sounds nice .

I have a question - I’m in the U.K. so can’t call in.
We have a hybrid car. It’s paid off. My husband is making noises about getting another car (more debt) and getting rid of this one. The battery is now only about 50% efficient. We can’t agree on what to do about this car.
We have no debt except the mortgage. I want to try to go debt free.
sounds like the caller loves to play "hide the pea"
That's not all he hides...
Exactly. Compare having a house you're renting out to people and almost all that money going back into the mortgage or the fixing of the property to that property being paid off and you put some of it back into the property and the rest in your pocket. There's more cash flow when you have less debt and one of the people at my previous brokerage wouldn't listen to how much of a problem it is to leverage debt. But it's alright. I hope she doesn't go broke.
Why doesn't he sell the 650k one and use that 200k difference to pay off his house and the other debt?
160k as a longshoreman is dam good
having a paid for house then real estate investing all in cash is ridiculous I mean come on. ill be 50 before I I start

I just hate the single family home rental business! Everyone always assumes that the tenants will consistently pay their rents, and this is seldom the case. The only real estate rentals that make any sense to me is commercial rentals, where you are renting Office space to companies. Unfortunately, to get into this type of business you need to have deep pockets, or you need to be in partnership with maybe two or three other investors. I don't understand why people who have such great incomes can't see that if they would just live a little frugal for a while and invest a significant portion of their income in the stock market or a mutual fund for just a few years, and then reduce the amount slightly, they would be well on their way to building significant wealth over a ten year period. In this example, these people should be investing about $60,000 per year!
So he's got 200 in equity on rental a, paid for rental b, and I'm assuming because he said nest egg that's not just 60 sitting in a savings account somewhere. 130 in debt between rental b and his personal non mortgage debt making 275 a year at work. I gotta disagree with Dave, it'd be different if they made 90. Sell the one you owe 450 on, take that 200k and put yourself at 4 5 and 6. Every penny from the rental plus more going toward their primary mortgage and they knock it out in 18 months to 2 years easily. Then you're piling cash and looking for the next real estate deal.
Preach Dave !!! Preach !!!
Why does Dave hate it when people have real estate?
His renters are paying the mortgage, taxes, maintenance.
Dave is always bring up his story from decades ago. But he hardly tells anyone that it was all his fault for taking out hard money loans.
Another eviction moratorium. Tenants can again live for free 😂😂😂
@@jeanlenor1858 That is an old tried excuse.
It's how he sells books, fear mongering into followings only his plan. He doesn't teach people to make their own financial decisions, he teaches you shut up and follow the baby steps.
It is because Dave Ramsey failed at this strategy
Having rentals is great UNTIL the tenant can’t pay the rent.
continuously helped me like you have. I thank God for your presence in my life. Thanks a lot!!!
Just bought a apartment and added $30k bank loan to my debt with a $279k mortgage 💸
-Still got a student loan: $5200/$17000 left
-Car loan: $44k/$50k left current value $68k
-Make about $100k after taxes
-My roommate (girlfriend) makes about $33k after taxes
We plan on getting married once we got the money.
And the apartment need a new kitchen and bathroom (not going to do this until other debts are paid off)
You don't need an elaborate marriage to tie the knot, just sayin' :) Dave's advice would probably be to sell the car, buy one in cash, and target the debt with gazelle'ish intensity. Peace!
I call BS. Dont know any apts going for only 279k.
This is a concerning situation. They only make a little over $200k, have four kids and a million dollars in debt. Neither one of them thought this through, God forbid if they lose their jobs. This is a disaster waiting to happen
@@hawkeye2958 there are details missing here I think. The situation could go either way...but being in debt 5x what your yearly income is ...is definitely NOT fine

He won't take the advice, he's gonna turn to tik tok for the "feel rich" advice.
well, that’s not always true. he can just live in leverage and control it very well if they are a finance geek.
Because he's not financially illiterate and understands how money works. Not all debt is created equal.
Dave's hatred towards renters is a turn off for me - I have never been a bad renter, I always get a letter of reference from the previous landlord, I like living clean and I don't have pets or cause trouble. I'm boring.
You are in the minority.
You're responsible! Thank your parents.
I have lived with maybe 10 different adult from age 18-30. And I gotta tell you from my experience some people are absolutely the WORST renters.
Some of these people don’t care about the landlord or his finances or even his property in the slightest.
My grandparents are landlords as well. But man I would NEVER own/rent out multiple properties in this day and age. This younger generation is self centered and have no work ethic.
Debt is debt.
Not all debt is bad debt.

Never heard Dave talk like this 😳
He called him Ramsey...Definitely doesn't know the show or Dave. Its ok bud
Yeah. This is a question for the money guys.
This is why real estate can be a dangerous investment bc you can become over leveraged and over worked. I stick to stocks since I have to cash flow all of it.
“Investment debt” = oxymoron
With his equity he is better off selling off those rentals & invest in more long term stable investments. They both make very great income already.
They deserve everything that coming to them. What they do to innocent people is awful. Thank you so much for what you do. It clearly is getting to them and love to see it.

He can keep the properties and have the tenants pay for them. Also a good chance that he has a bad year and ends up bankrupt
