This episode has opened up my mind to “control growth”. Sometimes I feel I need to kee buying. Right now I have 13 properties and cash flow above $8,000 x month net. I will get control growth mode to buy without rushing and only the best property possible. Thanks!!
Congratulation on your journey! Great interview! Both of you are great and thank you for sharing! I do not know many real estate investors and thru Bigger Pockets I am able to hear other great strategies…! Thanks!
Im cautiously optimistic that this Is actually gonna be about cash flow from longterm rentals . If so I’ll be super happy it seemed like bigger pockets didn’t do this anymore Thank you Henry !
Hello! Can you also discuss health care benefits as we all know it is so expensive. If you are quitting your job, I am assuming you are paying thousands of dollars for healthcare insurance.
Some states have affordable health insurance but payments are based on your income. NY has terrific health insurance if you are low income AND can prove it. Good luck if you can't find that proof.
I guess if you need it… without kids… we just pay any medical bills… which is basically zero at 40 years old…. Also… without insurance… your bill is less than half… sometimes even a quarter of what the insurance cost is.
I'm not a fan of his math. Leaving a job where he makes $60-80K per year to make a minimum of $48K imo is not the best. That $60-80K could easily equate to $78-104K when you factor in benefits like healthcare, vacation and retirement. I cash flow more than that and I would never dream of leaving my job for what I'm making now......
Did you listen to what he said? His job was demanding, being on the road away from family. No amount "benefits" is worth being away from family. He clearly wasn't happy. Now he has FREEDOM
Did he say how he was coming up with the down payments to scale to 104 units? Was he just saving his cash flow or was he doing a cash out refinance on other properties?
Best way to start if you don’t have the capital…I bought a foreclosure at a auction and flipped it…401k loan has turned into over 600k…I would of never started without it
Cash flow is after all expenses. Kind of like your take home check. His property value is $8 million total (104 doors). If he was to sell, it is technically worth $8million.
It’s frustrating when host Henry Washington provides inconsistent stories about his first investment. In this episode, he mentions using his 401k money, while in another, he claims his first investment property was 100% bank financed. BiggerPockets, please establish clear ethics and standards. The audience trusts this channel, but these inconsistencies from Henry create doubts.
Henry has actually spoke about his first investment several times. He pulled money from his wife's 401K to use as the down payment and the small local bank financed the rest because it was such a good deal. He was then able to do more deals like that with his local bank to scale the business. He has mentioned this so many times he is probably telling a cliff note version of the story these days. But I think he has been very consistent with how he started.

You want to reduce your taxes by deducting allowable expenses. As a rental property owner, you can generally deduct your expenses for managing and maintaining the property, including payments that you make related to the property for: Advertising Auto and travel expenses Cleaning and maintenance Homeowners association (HOA) dues Insurance Legal and professional fees Mortgage interest Property management Property taxes Utilities and other services And no you dont need 50 doors to make money, 50 doors with $800 rent (each) is $40.000 monthly income , any costs against that (like loan on 50% of that portfolio as example ) is still nothing , you be still making 6 fiugres a month probably , complete passively as you would have money for manager at this point.
@dwatt8004 I guess if you love paying more tax and penaties then live your best life. I've never heard a single bit of financial advice tell you to borrow from a 401k.
@@cvzphotography I agree not to borrow; you're better off cashing out and investing IF you have a solid plan. I would never borrow to go buy a car, or take a trip. I would cash out to invest in rental properties, though.
The exposure these people have to a rough market is wild. Sooo many people are too leveraged and when it goes sideways, watch out for all the bankruptcies.
If you have cash flow then what does it matter? Plus having reserves. Just ride it out. Rent doesn't go down. Plus he's putting 25% down which is conservative
You want to talk to me! I went on Disability from an ATV accident and bought a few houses! Now my Wife and I are looking ahead for Retirement and The Rentals should pay for our Retirement!
When is 25% EVER conservative? Lol. I mean even if houses are 170k -300k tgats 39-60k down each purchase where is he constantly getting this capital from if even with that many doors a year and net cashflow around 42k a year? I mean thats pretty costly guys?
Because 25 percent down is a lot they are saying it’s conservative . A less conservative Idea would be trying to get deals with 90 percent leverage or more. It seems you agree the 25 would take more cash and be slower and harder so it seems you agree that it’s conservative . As far as it being costly -yes it is costly to build and operate a large rental portfolio
I just purchased a property with 14 percent cash on cash return in Pittsburgh. Looking at real estate as a monolith across the country is silly. There are always good deals.

42 doors for 4k in cash flow? that seems like too much work for so little money
He said that was the minimum he wanted to leave his job . He’s forshure making more with 42 doors
Right, I have 3 doors and have $1800 in cash flow in Pittsburgh. Before anyone says I don’t know cash flow, yes this is after expenses calculated in
What about the equity that’s being built while cash flowing 4k consider it like a saving account
@@L0se__ equity is bonus, can’t bank on it. 4k a month is good cash flow but 42 doors should bring in more than that
@donniebaer1992 just bought my 3rd here in pittsburgh...42 doors is crazy right. I know if I had 20 doors here I'm quitting. You selling anything lol

Very inspiring
2024 goodluck starting out to get any multi. I got beat out 13 times now with me offering over 30k-60k
Did he say how he was coming up with the down payments to scale to 104 units? Was he just saving his cash flow or was he doing a cash out refinance on other properties?
A combination of both. While scaling we were putting EVERYTHING back into the properties and portfolio
@@GrantFranckethank you for the response! Looking to be in your shoes someday with achieving financial freedom.
I personally won’t borrow from my 401K. And I won’t allow my husband to do it either. I believe in keeping these classes separate

If i’m not 3X’ng my monthly salary I’m not quitting my day job.
$8 Million in property value and just $48k/month in cash flow? Did I hear that correctly? Something’s off hear!
Cash flow is after all expenses. Kind of like your take home check. His property value is $8 million total (104 doors). If he was to sell, it is technically worth $8million.
He has a 7.2% return which is OK .
Thats $576,000 a year. Seems fair to me
18 doors and $10,400 cash flow.
Man can’t to hear how he manages all those doors.
Why was he using conventional loans instead of dscr loans?
What VA is available and decent ?

U seem like u have a personal issue with him. Learn to listen more attentively
PLEASE keep your negative thoughts to yourself.
Sounds like a personal issue you have against him.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
What is a VA? Or what does this mean

I wonder what his favorite band is.
😅
Im a newbie. So, whats the difference betwen a commercial bank and every other bank?
Difference is in how the loan is held - a commercial loan is one where the bank loans their own money vs. conventional which gets sold by the lender.
@@markcooke4866 the last part of your reply is confusing ... do you mean, it's sold by the bank to another lender?
@@truthalonetriumphs6572 most, if not all, conventional residential mortgages are sold by the originating bank to another lender, then they're repackaged in bulk as mortgage-backed securities.
Yeah, you need at least 50 doors to make any kind of money. You will get wrecked by taxes and repairs.
You want to reduce your taxes by deducting allowable expenses. As a rental property owner, you can generally deduct your expenses for managing and maintaining the property, including payments that you make related to the property for:
Advertising
Auto and travel expenses
Cleaning and maintenance
Homeowners association (HOA) dues
Insurance
Legal and professional fees
Mortgage interest
Property management
Property taxes
Utilities and other services
And no you dont need 50 doors to make money, 50 doors with $800 rent (each) is $40.000 monthly income , any costs against that (like loan on 50% of that portfolio as example ) is still nothing , you be still making 6 fiugres a month probably , complete passively as you would have money for manager at this point.

When is 25% EVER conservative? Lol. I mean even if houses are 170k -300k tgats 39-60k down each purchase where is he constantly getting this capital from if even with that many doors a year and net cashflow around 42k a year? I mean thats pretty costly guys?
