This is buy far the most properties I have ever purchased in one year, and I still have a few months to go.

Both of those loans I obtained this year from Ben Shaevitz with Patch of Land. I shy away from hard money loans because of the high rates, hoops you must jump through, and length of time it can take to get the loan. However, I worked with Patch of Land because they were able to eliminate many of those difficulties. The thing that really helped me out was they did not require a full appraisal to get the loan completed.

He started flipping houses in his early twenties and was very successful before the housing crash. Tyler also held some properties as rentals and eventually sold his properties before the crash, which caused him to incur a huge tax bill.

I get a lot of questions about how people can find the money to invest with, but the first question you should ask is how much money will you need. Once you know exactly how much money you need to invest in real estate, it becomes much easier to get that money and actually buy a house. You will also need varying amounts of money depending on what kind of real estate investing you do. Flipping, renting, wholesaling will all take different...2017-08-2325 minOPM Mastery113 How to Repair Rental Properties and House FlipsBuying Rentals and flips can be an awesome opportunity to make money. However, buying the property is only one step of the process, you usually have to repair properties as well. Even if you buy rental properties that are in perfect shape, you will have to repair them at some point after you run into some less than stellar tenants. I have 15 rental properties and 14 active fix and flips right now. There is a big difference in the way I repair my flips versus my rentals. On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast I go into how...2017-08-1025 minOPM Mastery112 How do Hard Money Loans Work with Dan LeydenHard money loans are a great option for real estate investors who want to flip houses.

Dan talks about the different types of hard money available, rates, terms, how to finance repairs, who can qualify, and he also talks about...2017-08-0240 minOPM Mastery111 Should you Invest in a Hot Real Estate Market?The real estate market has been crazy in Colorado. Median prices in my town have jumped from $110,000 to $280,000 in 5 or 6 years. My town has some of the lowest prices in the area! With real estate prices increasing so fast, I decided to stop buying residential rental properties and focus more on flipping. There were a number of reasons I stopped buying rentals, but the biggest one was that I would not cash flow on properties anymore. On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast I talk about the current real estate market. How crazy it is in Colorado...2017-07-2825 minOPM Mastery110 Do you need a Real Estate Agent to Sell or Buy a House with Jarred KesslerOn this episode of the InvestFourMore Podcast I talk with Jarred Kessler who is trying to start a company that would eliminate the need for real estate agents. I am a real estate agent, and a big proponent of using agents to make the most money when selling or buying houses. This podcast definitely had some tense moments and differing opinions!

I have a great team who helps me, and I have systems to get them repaired and sold. Before my team can do anything with the properties, we have to find properties to buy! In the past, I bought most of my flips from the foreclosure sale then had to change strategies and buy from the MLS. In the last year, I have bought many flips from wholesalers, and I am adding additional ways to buy. I have had good luck b...2017-07-1224 minOPM Mastery108 How Crowdfunding Offers a Smaller Real Estate Investment with Amy KirschOne of the biggest hurdles to real estate investing is the cash needed to flip or buy rentals. Investors have to put more money down than owner occupied buyers, which makes it tough for many people to ever buy an investment property. Not only are there higher down payments for investment properties, but if you want a really good deal you may have to spend money on repairing a house as well. It also takes time to find good deals, find contractors, manage properties, and sell properties. Crowdfunding is one way to invest in real estate with less money...2017-07-0627 minOPM Mastery107 Why the Real Estate Industry is Targeted by Hackers with Idan Udi-EdryAs a real estate agent I see emails all the time that are from fake title companies asking me to open an attachment. I also see emails from fake agents or buyers asking me to open attachments as well.

Owning rental properties allows you to depreciate the structure of the property, but when you sell you may have to repay that tax savings. 1031 exchanges can be a way to defer the taxes when you sell rentals, but they come with many restrictions. 1031 exchanges cannot usually be used when you flip houses either.
