5 Rentals and 4 Flips WITHOUT Needing a W2!

from BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast · host BiggerPockets

Clay White has done the seemingly impossible. He’s bought five rental properties, completed multiple flips, and done it all in the past fifteen months with high mortgage rates. To make it more impressive, he did it WITHOUT a W2 job at just twenty-three years old! So what sets Clay apart from ninety-nine percent of other investors? As you’ll hear in today’s episode, he went through an almost comical amount of failures, but how he solved them makes him an elite investor. If you think you missed the boat on real estate investing, Clay proves that you couldn’t be more wrong. He not only built an entire rental portfolio in one of the most challenging times to invest but did it with no consistent income, no experience, and in a market you’ve probably never heard of. If you can follow Clay’s advice, mimic his ingenuity and tenacity for problem-solving, and are willing to put up with small failures to achieve massive success, you, too, will be able to build serious wealth, no matter your timeline, no matter your age, and no matter your job. In This Episode We Cover: How to invest in real estate even if you’ve got little money (and no job!)  Returning a house after you bought it (yes, you can do this!)  Why bringing in a partner is an excellent idea for your first real estate investment  Clay’s straightforward solution when you can’t find the right licensed contractor  Cash-out refinances vs. HELOCs and when to use each to pull out equity  Why you should always overestimate your home renovation costs  And So Much More!
