  • August 2025 Housing Market Update: Rates Fall, Price Corrections Spread

    August 2025 Housing Market Update: Rates Fall, Price Corrections Spread
    Aug 15 2025
    Mortgage rates just hit their lowest point in 2025. The housing market correction spreads to nearly 50% of the country. Sellers are giving up as new listings begin to retreat. Is this just a normal correction or the signs of a housing market crash? Should you take the chance and buy now with lower rates and desperate sellers, or could this just be the start of a downward spiral? We’re giving the data on it all in this August 2025 housing market update! Interest rates got some serious relief at the start of the month. We’re now around 0.5% lower than we were at the beginning of the year, bringing some much-needed affordability to the housing market. The cause? New and revised jobs reports are getting investors worried about the economy, and increasing our likelihood of a recession coming our way. But with less labor stability, will homeowners be forced to sell? And will we see foreclosures begin to rise? Sellers are starting to realize what we all already know: it’s a buyer’s market. Would you sell your home when buyers have all the leverage? Probably not. And most sellers are feeling the same, choosing to hold onto their houses instead of putting them on the market. What’s the chance this locks up inventory yet again? Is this the tipping point for the housing market and a perfect window to buy? Dave’s giving his take today. In This Episode We Cover Mortgage rate updates: why they’re falling and whether this downward trend will continue Why we could be entering a nationwide housing correction as price declines deepen Foreclosure and delinquency updates: will homeowners be forced to sell soon? The growing buyer’s market and why would-be sellers have decided to wait it out Is now the perfect time to invest with low rates and high buyer power?

  • How to Find Profitable Rentals in 2025 (Lazy + Expert Methods)

    How to Find Profitable Rentals in 2025 (Lazy + Expert Methods)
    Aug 13 2025
    If you know how to find investment properties the right way, your path to real estate wealth gets a lot shorter. Today, we’re giving you two methods anyone can try—one from an expert on finding great deals with incredible financing options, and another, more “lazy” method that even beginner investors can take advantage of. You won’t just find real estate deals faster, you’ll get the best deals in the market, while investors who don’t listen to this podcast doomscroll on listing websites, praying they’ll find a diamond in the rough. We’re back, answering your BiggerPockets Forum questions on today’s episode, and the first one is crucial—how to find profitable rental properties. Next, an investor wants to buy a duplex with tenants in place. The problem? They’re paying way below market rents. Is there a way to keep good tenants around while raising rent prices? Yes—we’ll show you how! When should you keep, sell, or reinvest in a rental? Run this quick calculation to figure out which properties need to be let go, which need to be upgraded, and which you should let ride. Finally, got $400,000 in cash? We’re sharing exactly what we’d do to turn that amount of money into consistent passive income. In This Episode We Cover How to find investment properties even if your local market seems low on supply The “lazy” way to get real estate deals sent directly to you (Dave’s method!) How to raise rents the right way and keep inherited tenants happy and paying When to reinvest in your rental to make more cash flow (or sell it and use the money elsewhere) How we’d spend $400,000 if we wanted 100% passive retirement income And So Much More!

  • These “Small” Rentals Boast BIG Cash Flow (Even at 7% Rates)

    These “Small” Rentals Boast BIG Cash Flow (Even at 7% Rates)
    Aug 11 2025
    Think today’s mortgage rates are stopping you from getting rich with rental properties? Think again. Today’s guest built an 11-unit rental portfolio—starting in 2022, with high interest rates—and is cash flowing on each property. In fact, he’s making more cash flow than most investors we know, even with still sky-high rates. How’s he doing it with such little money down? No creative finance, no expert skills—Justin Albrecht is just following a simple, repeatable rental formula. After moving back in with his mom, Justin was getting the itch to find his own place. The problem? This was 2022, where single-family homes for sale were rife with bidding wars. What about small multifamily properties, like a duplex, triplex, or quadplex? That seemed to be the sweet spot. With zero experience in property management or landlording, Justin took the plunge. Fast forward three years, Justin now owns four properties totaling 11 rental units, and just quit his W2 job to focus his full-time efforts on his rentals. He did it all without putting a ton of money down and dealing with 7% interest rates on most of his properties. Still, he’s making sizable cash flow, impressive return on equity numbers, and living for free. Today, he’s breaking down his blueprint. In This Episode We Cover The small multifamily rentals that average investors can use to build massive wealth How to unlock monthly cash flow even with interest rates at 7% (or higher!) Getting into your first real estate deal with just 3.5% down Does the 1% rule still exist in the 2020s? Yes! Here’s how Justin is finding these deals “Turnkey” rentals that are move-in ready but still produce serious cash flow And So Much More!

  • How to Make $5,000/Month with Rentals (Starting from Zero)

    How to Make $5,000/Month with Rentals (Starting from Zero)
    Aug 8 2025
    This is how to make $5,000 per month in passive income from rental properties on an average salary, starting with little money. You don’t need to have any real estate investing experience to follow this blueprint, but if you’ve already started investing, you could (and probably will) get there faster. How much money do you need? How long will it take? Which properties should you invest in? We’re sharing the complete blueprint in this episode. Financial freedom is the goal for almost every real estate investor; the way you get there is by having consistent cash flow that can pay for your life. Would $5,000 per month ($60,000 per year) in passive income make your financial freedom possible? If you’re like most Americans, there’s a good chance it would. Dave is walking through how to get there in less time than you’d think, so you can retire decades earlier and live life free from the pull of a paycheck. Want more than $5,000 per month? You can use this same blueprint and math to get to $10,000, $15,000, or $20,000 per month through real estate investing. In This Episode We Cover How to make $5,000 per month with rental properties (and retire much sooner) The simple calculation that will tell you how much money you’ll need to invest Why you should not focus on cash flow first if you want to reach financial independence The types of investments that will multiply your money faster How to switch from more active to passive investments so you can “harvest” your cash flow And So Much More!

  • How I Get Lower Offer Prices Accepted in 2025

    How I Get Lower Offer Prices Accepted in 2025
    Aug 6 2025
    Sellers are already accepting lower offer prices. The data is clear—the buyer’s market is back. So, how do you ensure you’re getting the best price for you, without making a seller feel like they’re getting taken advantage of? This episode is all about how we negotiate the best real estate deals in 2025, using methods that everyday homebuyers are unaware of, and most investors never try. This is how to do real estate negotiation the right way. Listen: you don’t need to be the highest offer to win the house. We’re showing you other “levers” you can pull besides the offer price that give the seller confidence in you as a buyer and get you under contract quicker. What if you’re doing off-market deals? You know, sending mailers, talking to sellers, walking homes. Henry breaks down the three offers he gives every seller (yes, three), and why this strategy is a winner. Rather have a low interest rate than a slightly lower price? There’s one subset of sellers that’s basically begging buyers to take houses off their hands. The best part? They’ll actually pay to get you a lower mortgage rate. Don’t worry, we’re sharing all our expert tricks to get you the best price/rate/terms on your next investment property. Learn expert negotiation tips from former FBI hostage negotiator Chris Voss at BPCon2025! In This Episode We Cover The “pre-negotiation plan” that leads to you making a much better offer Negotiating for a lower interest rate and the sellers who will pay for it Data proving that sellers are ready to accept lower offer prices How to “build trust” with sellers before you make a lowball offer The three options you should give every off-market seller (don’t give just one) Other “levers” you can pull to make a great offer without raising your price And So Much More!

  • Making $30,000/Month (Per Property) with Assisted Living Rentals

    Making $30,000/Month (Per Property) with Assisted Living Rentals
    Aug 4 2025
    This investor generates $30,000 per month in rental income from a single property. It’s not a short-term rental, or a beachside Airbnb, or anything even close to that. Within a couple of years of starting to scale, James Davis has a rental portfolio on track to gross $1,000,000 per year in rents, from just six properties. The best part? He’s not even doing it for the money. His investments are making lives better while securing him financial freedom. You may have heard of assisted living before, but probably not like this. While many assisted living facilities focus on older adults, James owns small assisted living properties that cater to individuals with disabilities. After taking on two traditional real estate deals, James’s brother, who worked in disability services, thought they could be treating residents better. So, they converted one of James’s properties into a compliant assisted living facility. They got their first monthly tenant—the rent: $15,000 per month for one bedroom. Sounds steep, right? James walks through the entire expenses and profit margins to prove that the caregiving business may be worthwhile, even just for the emotional benefits. Now, he has six properties and has already pulled in $500,000 just halfway through the year. Follow the same steps James shares in this episode, and your portfolio could grow just as fast. In This Episode We Cover How James went from making $16/hour to bringing in $1,000,000/year in rents How much assisted living investment properties make (cash flow!) Locking down a 3.5% interest rate using the creative “subject to” strategy The process of becoming legally compliant for running an assisted living property Why James still buys long-term rentals instead of more assisted living properties And So Much More!
