#40 - Keith Offered More Than Asking Price And Here's Why It Made Perfect Sense

from First Deal Podcast · host Keith Gillispie

Keith does a live walkthrough inside Deal Labs to show exactly how he's finding and underwriting deals in a high interest rate environment — including the counterintuitive strategy of offering sellers more than their asking price. Then he shares the exact leverage percentage he never crosses in his portfolio, backed by 30 years of metro-level data going all the way back to 2008.TakeawaysHow to Underwrite Deals When Interest Rates Are HighLive Deal Labs WalkthroughHow Much Leverage Is Too Much — Keith's 55% RuleChapters00:00 Introduction00:48 Navigating Elevated Interest Rates21:59 Understanding Leverage in Real Estate Investment28:40 Outro📜FREE Purchase & Sales Agreement: https://go.reiautomated.io/strongest-psa-lm 📊FREE Deal Analyzer + Repair Estimator: https://go.reiautomated.io/deal-analyzer   📃FREE Joint Venture Agreement: https://go.reiautomated.io/jv-agreement-flm 🏠FREE Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/realestateinvestingandwholesaling  🧑🏻‍💻FREE COURSE (watch 5 min first): https://playbook.reiautomated.io/?source=Keith&campaign=OFC 🌟CLIENT RESULTS: https://youtu.be/wtDCqarJceM?si=QsXJyAKV6eVL-Eeb WHAT WE OFFER: https://youtu.be/JbV0LqjdhJ8 SOCIALSInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithg_rei/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Keith.GillispieMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/monobox/backboneLicense code: OZZJFTOT1V6EYPPY
