Rental Income Podcast With Dan Lane

Most rental property investors look for existing homes to buy. Howard Jacobson takes a different approach. He builds them.On this episode, Howard explains why building new rental properties can be more profitable than buying existing homes. He shares how new properties can rent faster, attract better tenants, require very little maintenance, and create significant equity from day one.We talk about what Howard looks for when buying land, what makes a good building lot, and the type of rental properties he likes to build, including the ideal number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Howard walks us through the building process and explains why you don’t need to be a construction expert to do what he does. He says the business is much more about managing contractors and managing money than actually knowing how to build a house.Howard also shares how much equity he typically creates when he builds a property, how he finances construction without putting a lot of his own money into the deal, and some of the challenges that come with building smaller, affordable homes.We also talk about how Howard handles repairs when they eventually come up and why he believes building rental properties is something almost any investor can learn to do.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode594Thanks To Our Sponsors:Mid South HomeBuyers – Turnkey Rentals In Memphis, Little Rock, and Dallas.

Huy and Maribel Nguyen have built their rental portfolio around a pretty simple idea: buy houses they would be comfortable living in themselves.They focus on properties in good neighborhoods that need little to no rehab. By starting with homes already in good condition, they have found they attract tenants who pay on time, take care of the property, and tend to stay out of trouble.That strategy has also helped keep maintenance expenses low and made owning rentals much less stressful.On this episode, Huy and Maribel share how they choose properties, what they look for in a neighborhood, and why they prefer simple, move-in-ready rentals over heavy rehab projects.We also break down the numbers on one of their rentals and find out whether anything has gone wrong along the way, or whether owning rentals has really been as hassle-free as their strategy sounds.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode593Thanks To Our Sponsors:PadSplit - Earn 2.5X more rental income with PadSplit's shared housing model.Ridge Lending Group - Ask about the All-In-One loan.

Michael Perna has been investing in rental properties since he was 20 years old. But one comment from Gary Keller, President of Keller Williams Realty, completely changed the way Michael thinks about building wealth with real estate.On this episode, Michael shares why he believes time is the most powerful force in real estate investing and why he has decided he will never sell his properties. Instead, he plans to hold them for life and eventually pass them down to future generations.Michael explains why he is willing to buy properties that may not work as traditional long-term rentals today. In some cases, he operates them as short-term rentals until rent growth makes them profitable as long-term rentals. His philosophy is that investors shouldn't obsess over what a property makes in year one or two. They should be looking five, ten, or twenty years into the future.We talk about how Michael got started using FHA loans with just 3.5% down, the wealth he has created through rent growth and appreciation, why he says money is a function of time, and whether cash flow or appreciation matters more.We also break down one of Michael's recent deals, including how he found the property and structured the purchase by taking over the seller's 3.5% interest rate.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode591Thanks To Our Sponsors:Mid South HomeBuyers – Turnkey Rentals In Memphis, Little Rock, and Dallas.
