      Why is it brilliant? Think of why you don’t own your own home AND investment properties. Because you don’t have unlimited amounts of money.
      Scenario 1:
      Montage the home you live in. You put your $30,000 down for the downpayment. You have a debt service of $1500 per month plus about $250 to put toward upkeep. The house doesn’t give you any positive cashflow. You work 100 hours a month just to service that debt.
      Scenario 2.
      You put that $30,000 into a downpayment on a fourplex, it pays you $3600 per month in positive cashflow in addition to your regular income. Your debt service is $1500-2000 a month, leaving you a net of $1600 more than what you had in scenario 1. You can take that $1600, save it over the next 18 months, and put it as a downpayment on another fourplex. Now you have two properties providing positive cashflow and growing in equity. Now your annual income is $84,000 more than what it was before. In another 18 months, you can take that to $120,000. Sure you have 20-30 years of debt, but you are still cashflow positive, all your expenses are tax deductible, your net worth is increasing exponentially, and you have the choice of being debt free with massive amounts of cashflow for your retirement, or keep building your net worth to pass it on to your kids.

      I own 17 rent houses and my own home. I pay $1500/mo on my own home, that includes the mortgage, insurance, and property taxes. If I were to rent this home, it would cost at least $1500/month, and I own nothing. Now granted, I did not include upkeep, but that is a small price to pay for something that will double in value every 20 years or so. Only rent if you are not going to be in the same place for 5 plus years.

    • @ih8itdotcom
      @ih8itdotcom 5 лет назад +80

      @The Indigo Child 438 what i do is. Build a portfolio with the bank. For example. Lets say i have 500k in the bank. And i bank with wells fargo. And i buy one home in cash for 100k then i find a renter within a month or two. Now that i have a renter and i have a passive income on the home. I go to the bank and refinance it for 150k. So now i have a mortgage but i have a renter that is paying my mortgage and i have more than what i put into the home. I paid 100k got 150k and have a renter paying my mortgage. Now imagine doing that with all the 500k. So your 500k turned to 750k and allthkse five properties are being paid for. (Mind you you still get money from the renters because your mortgage is usually lowers than what a renter pays you) so now that you have 750k in your pocket. You go ahead and now buy 7, 100k properties and the cycle continues.

    I figured this out about a year ago. I sold my house and now have 3 rentals. They cover the money for my rent in a better house and my car payment. My savings will now go into another rental and then another. By the time I get to 10 (which will take me another 5 years, I'll be 43) I'll have around a hundred grand a year in income, which will match my normal income. This strategy works :)

  • @InfiniteTranscendence
    @InfiniteTranscendence 7 лет назад +124

    Great post. I've tried to explain this to many people who are brainwashed into believing they need to own a house to get ahead. In reality a home is the biggest debt trap for most people. It holds them down and restricts their options. Once you look at inflation and the market plus the other costs you end up being behind.
    Owning homes makes sense when you're renting them out but if you're living in your home you are consuming and not investing it. At best you are speculating that it will be worth more in the future. Which in many cases you don't. That's what people found out in the last crash.
    I've made many videos about the great lies of life (school, house, job, etc.) and this is a big one. Great video!

      Renting is very convenient, especially with houses...and when you think about it, you take out a 30 year mortgage to buy an overpriced house....for the first 1/2 of those 30 years almost all of your payments are going toward interest not principle, and so you really aren't gaining anything. You only "win" if you are able to pay off the loan before the mortgage note matures OR if you are able to flip it at a profit. Of course, you may end up buying in at the market top and when the home values plummet you're stuck with an upside-down mortgage liability and trapped in a house that you probably won't be able to continue making payments on. Either way, the bank wins and you get screwed over. The system is not designed for plebians to get ahead.

    Just want to say thanks Grant. I was on a journey to buy my Mum a home in 2 years so we can all have some independence, but after some thought and guidance from you I realised that a) owning a home wasn't the goal at this stage (living independently was, and having to raise a deposit would only further the time to that outcome), and b) that to provide long-term wealth for our entire family it would not be smart to tie up $120-$200k in a house deposit (plus the $30k + per year) and that we'd be much better off investing that to a greater effect and have others pay for our real estate.
    I cannot say that this input from you has changed my life (because I haven't done anything of effect yet) , but it did allow me to consider different possibilities, which I strongly feel will give me the opportunity to thank you for changing not just my life, but my family's life a few years down the road.
    Thanks for being awesome Grant! 10x

    As a home owner, I can tell you, buying a home is not a savings account. You have constant maintenance, break downs, property taxes ($600 a month), insurance ($300 a month). Return on investment is slow. Based purely on Purchase Price vs Current Value, my house value has gone up 12.8 percent per year for the 16 years I've owned it. I've put tens of thousands of dollars toward upgrades and maintenance. I've paid about $10,000 per year for interest. Yeah, buying a home is bullshit. So if you sell and you think Ok, I'm selling for $350k, I bought for $220k, I made $130k. No, you didn't. Subtract all those things I mentioned above and you find you didn't make half what you think.

Grant doesn’t have a vested interest in you. What I mean by that is he doesn’t care about any of us individually. On RUclips, he cares for us as a whole because when we show up to watch his videos, we are making him money. Of course his videos bring us all value but he’s not a mentor!

In terms of buying, the rents in this country are rising exponentially, therefore, it is cheaper to have a mortgage, when I say cheaper I mean the mortgage repayments are considerably less than paying rent. In terms of buying property to rent, the laws in this country penalise landlords financially, therefore, most of them are now in negative equity and broke with property hanging around their necks on which they are still paying mortgages. The best investment here, currently, is purchasing commercial property which returns far greater profit than almost anything else. Thanks for your excellent input... much appreciated.

      1) You do not want to live by your tenants. You want to manage less, not more. More face time is more problems. Ideally with scale you hire someone else to manage.
      2) You miss out on the rental spread by doing this. If you are good at renting your units you can rent them for above market rates and then you rent from a landlord who sucks at advertising / is lazy and you rent for below market rate.
      When you're first starting out, every bit of spread makes all the difference.

      RapperGeek Media LLC That's a good plan from a meta perspective, but details on the ground make the difference. If you're going to live in one, it better be an especially nice unit. Remember, many multiunit dwellings were not designed for high achievers. Make sure you get a trained microbiologist to inspect it to ensure that it's a healthy environment w/o unusual mold growth or anything else that can strip your health away. Make sure it has good airflow and air exchange, too, or improve the unit so it does. Mycotoxins kills, but plain old CO2 accumulation destroys productivity.

    I learned from this man the miracle words of "leverage" (thanks Cardone. I will always be in debt with you).. Thanks buddy. Leverage. Cardone use a lot of leverage, specially using Syndicate money. You guys can do that to. If you live in the USA I can tell you that there's like 1500 federal, state and local programs for investors were you can buy properties with minimal down payments. For example, I bought a 10 unit condo for $1 million dollar (distressed condo) and only had to put $10,000 because a Federal program called Hack. When you hack a building, you only have to put 3,5% down payment or $35K in my case. I borrowed another $25K from family. The only condition is that you have to live in one of the unit for at least 12 months. I then asked for another federal program called $203K, which is a loan to rehab the property. After I finished the rehab I raised the rent on the units and 12 months later I refinanced the property taking out over $350K tax free and lowered my mortgage which means more cash flow to me. In Multifamily your property is valued by the income, not by comps like residential RE. So if you raise rent, say $400 buck a month x 10 units is a extra $4000 or $48,000 a year. That's mean your building appreciated $450,000 at least just by rising the rent. Once you have a few successful deals under your belt, then its when thing gets funny. You then can syndicate the loans. Loan Syndication is when a group of banks or investors put money to lend you for a large multifamily property.
    In the USA at least, there's like 200 ways to buy properties way under the market value. The beauty of Real Estate in the USA, Is that there's like a gazillion tax breaks. I don't thinks that any other industry have so many tax breaks like the RE industry in this nation. I know a couple making $500K a year in cash flow 100% tax free.
    PD: I just got My second multifamily property this year. A great 6plex outside Miami. It was a steal.

    I think this definitely makes sense if you are someone who wants to live in multi million dollar homes, BUT if you are happy living in normal houses, the cost of renting is much higher than owning unless you plan on moving in less than 3 years. Although, it is a good idea to buy a rental home before buying a house to live in, or like has been said by others, by something to live in with other renters.

    This is great information, but the key piece of advice that's missing and without which people will still find themselves at a crossroads is this: live below your means. Not, WITHIN your means.. BELOW. A lot of people who rent and don't buy, do so precisely because that's the only way for them to essentially live above their means because they could never afford to buy where they live. So, if you want to have enough slack to cover living costs AND invest, you need to squirrel away those nuts, which you could never do if you're renting at or above your means. With that being said, you could BUY below your means and accrue that equity while still buying what you rent. Can I get an amen?

Everything you buy doesn't have to be an investment but you do have to have multiple investments to stay ahead of the curve.

      How not? Ok so lets say you are renting. Rent is going up every year. The increase can take away your cash flow.... Lets say you decided to move as Grant suggest doing.... Now you are still interrupting your cash flow (moving expenses etc). My point is everything will cost so being strategic with your capital is the only solution to making more money rather you buy or rent.

      PREEMINENCE If you don't move around, it seems just fine to buy. If you're portable like Grant, it makes sense to rent. In some cities, such as London, especially, it makes sense to rent, as rental payments there tend to be vastly lower than mortgage payments.
      With rent, I like to think I'm paying the current market rate w/constant inflation. Not a good situation unless the flexibility or other factors are benefitting you. With mortgage, I like to think in terms of paying $ in the past. It's like a time machine hack. People bitch about interest, but you're basically freeze framing your investment in past dollars. Every year, heck every day, that passes, you are better off paying things off at yesterday's prices.

    I pay $35,000 a year in rent...my company gives me $35,000 a year as housing allowance (so free rent)...instead of throwing that in the trash, I'll buy the house I'm living in...that way my company is "buying" me a house
    I'll put the down myself, but the monthly / annual mortgage would be paid through the housing allowance
    Surely that's better than still renting my house, right?

    its a simple concept people.... if it produces money for you, its an *asset* .... if its losing you more money than it makes you, its a *liability* .... as far as what you really sign your NAME on, you dont _want_ those things to be liabilities... if you feel you must deal with a liability.... then don't sign your NAME on it in a more permanent context... remain free to drop it once its beneficial to you, got it? 👍

    It's fairly easy for anyone who can operate a spreadsheet to find out if it's better to buy or rent where they want to live. If you're in a high cost area, it'll probably be cheaper to rent because property speculators will be sitting on houses hoping to build equity.
    If you live in an area where it costs $2200 a month to rent a house that costs $225K, then it's not going to work out in your favor.
    I own my house, I'm not a borrower and the equity in my house builds at the same rate as it would with a rental property. Loan+insurance+taxes for a house like mine is about $1300 after an FHA loan. Rent is at least 1 1/2 times that and increasing. I maintain the responsibility for maintenance and improvement, but at the cost difference, that can be folded in.
    If it costs $600k to buy a house that you can rent for $2800 a month or whatever it may be in some areas, then the situation will be flip flopped.
    Perhaps the most important thing for people to realize is that everything in life isn't just "always do this" or "always do that". It's important to learn to figure out what's intelligent and do it.
    My spare dollars are almost 100% equity invested because it appreciates faster than anything else at this point, and it requires me to do nothing. The small percentage of people who don't have enough qualified options to dump money into have tax issues that I don't have.
    My parents don't believe in the market and bought income producing open land. $1.1MM worth of open land that has made about $45k of income per year on average now for over a decade. It's farm land. after costs and taxes if they sell it (which they're thinking about doing), they'll net somewhere around $500k in appreciation - post tax, plus the income less taxes that they've had each year (average 35k).
    That makes their annualized after tax return about 5.25% per year. they also needed to have the capital available to buy at that. (actually, the annualized return is slightly lower, I forgot to count taxes on the rent income).
    If they had invested in something simple like the vanguard total market index, their after tax return would've been about 6.7% per year, and they wouldn't have needed to do anything (they needed to chase non-paying renters for a couple of the last 15 years). That after tax return for vanguard includes the horrid 2008 market year, but they didn't have a current need for cash and would've been foolish to sell. The farm income includes the same dandy period during that time when crop prices were up and rent was up, too.
    what's the difference between what they have now after investing $1.1MM and what they'd have had if they just stuffed money into the domestic market? About 23-24%. And they haven't found a buyer for the land yet, though they've been trying for 3 years. They could sell the equity fund at any time with a mouse click or a phone call.
    That 23-24% difference in appreciation is about $570,000. That is, they'd have about $570K more right now in actual value than they would if they manage to sell their farm tomorrow for the ask. They were smart and only bought the land around the farm and sold the buildings to someone else who wanted them, so it is bare land only.
    What people need to realize about buying OR renting is there's no reason to fall in love with your house. The structure is depreciating. Don't get in over your head and get stupid. the bigger and more expensive the structure, the more the maintenance cost and the higher the depreciation on the actual structure if it remains unimproved.

    Grant you said to take smaller steps before you get to the bigger ones. So would a fourplex or fiveplex be ideal for my first investment just to get some experience? Or should I go for more units on my first investment? I also thought about purchasing a duplex because it is only two units.Would a duplex be too small of an investment starting off as well?
