• 13 Rental Units with a “Rinse and Repeat” Investing Method

  This investor built a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio with low-money-down loans and little cash-to-close. Thanks to his smart “rinse and repeat” strategy, he’s quickly scaled from zero to 13 rental units in just four years, all while collecting thousands of dollars of cash flow a month. He would have never been able to get to this place if he hadn’t followed a strategy many investors are too scared to try. Mike Johnson knew the best way to take bigger career risks was to have a backup plan. The ultimate passive income plan? Rental properties. But he didn’t want to put 20% to 25% down on each property he bought, so he started where many investors do—house hacking. Four years later, he’s continued his repeatable house hacking strategy, purchasing a new property every year, living in one unit, and renting out the others. This has allowed Mike to build a portfolio worth $3.4 million in just four years while buying in B+ or A-class neighborhoods and taking home a healthy amount of cash flow. But he has dealt with his fair share of headaches—squatters, non-paying tenants, and a lot of purple paint. Mike still says investing has been a massive win for him, and you can repeat his same strategy!  In This Episode We Cover: How to start investing in real estate with little money using the house hacking strategy  Why your primary residence IS an investment (and a phenomenal one at that) The biggest mistake Mike made that led to him buying a property with a squatter in the unit  The new 5% down multifamily loan you can use to buy bigger, better, more expensive properties  The cash flow AND appreciation market Mike is bullish on (and keeps investing in) When to self-manage vs. hire property management for your rentals  And So Much More!

• March 2025 Housing Market Update: Are Price Declines Coming?

  The housing market saw significant “softening” in February, with inventory rising, demand shrinking, and buyers regaining more control while sellers find themselves in a tough position. Why is this happening now, especially as mortgage rates continue to dip? With recession fears and economic tensions running high, Americans worry what’s coming next, causing much of the economy to shift. With price declines already happening in some markets and more potentially on the horizon, when is the right time to buy? We’re back with a March 2025 housing market update, going over what’s happening in the national housing market, which states are seeing the hottest (and coldest) housing demand, what’s going on with mortgage interest rates, and why the market is noticeably softening. But the real question remains: How can YOU continue building wealth while others fear the worst? Is this your “be greedy when others are fearful” moment? Dave is giving his take and sharing how he’s tailoring his own investing strategy in 2025. Find investor-friendly tax and financial experts with BiggerPockets Tax & Financial Services Finder! In This Episode We Cover: Why the housing market is starting to noticeably “soften” in 2025  Hottest/coldest housing markets in the United States with the most/least inventory  Are price declines coming? Whether we’ll end this year with negative price growth  Why mortgage rates are dropping, but housing demand isn’t rising Why real estate could be the “First In, First Out” investment of 2025’s wild economy  Whether or not now is the time to buy and what could cause a reversal of these worrying trends  And So Much More!

• How to Unlock Your Home’s Hidden Passive Income Stream (ADUs 101)

  There’s a hidden passive income stream in your basement, backyard, or garage, and only one investing strategy can unlock it. More and more homeowners and landlords are using this strategy to pay their mortgages, pad their pockets with cash flow, and increase their home values significantly. Of course, we’re talking about ADUs (accessory dwelling units), the rental properties that states are begging you to build, and you can do so right now with the home you already own. To help you affordably (and profitably) build your first ADU, we brought on Derek Sherrell, AKA That ADU Guy, to give you the beginner steps to your first attached (or detached) investment. We’re walking through which properties have the best ADU opportunity, how much an ADU costs to build or convert, how much an ADU will make, how to fund and finance your first ADU, and how Derek builds an ADU from scratch in just 90 days! Derek often makes an infinite return on his ADU investments, and he’s teaching you how to do the same! If you’re in an expensive state like California, Oregon, or Washington, this strategy is even more effective as you can collect more rent AND do so without local regulations slowing down your ADU progress! In This Episode We Cover: How much an ADU costs to build, and the wild returns Derek is making in 2025 The most affordable ADU conversion that will boost your property’s cash flow Three crucial beginner tips when designing and building your first ADU How to finance your ADU conversion/build and why Derek loves HELOCs Best states for building ADUs and who to call BEFORE you decide to build And So Much More!

• Building HUGE Equity With 100% Hands-Off Investing

  House flipping can make you wealthy. Everyone has seen the TV shows, podcast interviews, and the high-priced renovations, even in their own neighborhoods. But what if where you live is WAY too expensive to flip houses? The home costs are high, the labor costs are high, and underpriced, outdated homes are hard to find. Thankfully, you’re not out of luck. Today, we’re teaching you how to flip houses from a distance, even thousands of miles away! Dominique Gunderson is currently flipping 12 houses from 2,000 miles away. Yes, it’s possible (and profitable), and Dominique has made it her full-time business. As a Los Angeles native, Dominique couldn’t afford anything in her home market, but through visiting family in New Orleans, she realized it was the perfect place to flip. So, she slowly started scaling a team that would allow her to be anywhere in the world while she ran her business. In only her mid-twenties, she’s been able to build a team that takes care of the renovations and rehabs for her while she handles finding the deals and getting the funding. Today, she’s teaching you how to do the same: build your out-of-state team, scale the right way, and when (and how) to delegate so you don’t do all the work. She’s even breaking down her profit margins and revealing how much you can actually make flipping in affordable markets. In This Episode We Cover: How to flip houses anywhere (and FROM anywhere!) without doing the work yourself How much long-distance flips can make you in 2025 (Dominique’s profit margins) Building your boots-on-the-ground team to handle renovations for you When to flip vs. hold and signs a flip should become your next rental property  The secret to scaling your team so you can do less work and make more money  And So Much More!

• Scott Trench: How I'm Protecting My Money From “Irrational Exuberance”

  Stock prices are falling, and Americans are fearful. Tariffs, trade wars, economic tension, and interest rates are putting pressure on asset prices. Commercial real estate has already crashed, but the worst may be yet to come. Home prices aren’t growing; in fact, small multifamily prices may even be declining. What should you do? We can’t provide financial advice, but Scott Trench, CEO of BiggerPockets, is revealing how he’s protecting his wealth in 2025.  A recession could be coming; we’re all aware of that. But what does this mean for real estate, stock, crypto, and gold prices? The “irrational exuberance” bubble seems to have popped after stocks hit wildly high price-to-earnings ratios, Bitcoin soared to six figures, and gold began a massive runup. Things are about to change very quickly. Scott is putting his money where his mouth is, revealing the contrarian moves he’s making to his portfolio to keep his wealth growing during this increasingly volatile period. He’s giving his stock market prediction, interest rate prediction, and home price prediction and sharing where real estate investors should look for stellar deals as everyday Americans run away in fear.  Find investor-friendly tax and financial experts with BiggerPockets Tax & Financial Services Finder!   In This Episode We Cover Scott’s exact portfolio allocation: what he’s selling and what he’s holding NOW The speculative bubble that could be very close to (if not already) popping Will interest rates rise further despite market volatility?  The biggest buying opportunities for investors to score killer deals on investment properties The critical risk to index funds that investors MUST be aware of  Could commercial real estate prices crash even more, creating substantial potential margins for investors?  And So Much More!
