TBT: Ask Marco - What Should We Pay Ourselves From Our Rentals?

from Passive Real Estate Investing · host Real Estate Investing with Marco Santarelli, Investor and Entrepreneur.

Click Here for the Show Notes Today’s Throwback Thursday episode of Passive Real Estate Investing brings back a listener favorite that’s just as relevant now as when it first aired. In this episode, Marco revisits a great question from Victor, a new investor who—along with his sister—recently closed on their first three seller-financed rental properties. Victor asks when investors should start paying themselves from rental income and how much is appropriate. Marco uses this as a springboard to clarify how to correctly calculate NOI, how to think about expenses, and how to align your payout decisions with your overall investment strategy. He also breaks down the difference between focusing on cash flow now versus reinvesting for rapid portfolio growth, plus how the “snowball” method of mortgage payoff can speed up your journey to financial freedom.
