Talking Points:

  • Before we start, I want to clarify what I mean when I say wealthy. Rich and wealthy are commonly used interchangeably, but truly wealthy people accumulate assets that produce income and/or appreciate in value, usually both. This being said, we will focus on true wealth-building strategies through real estate.
    • Buy and Hold Residential Properties
      • Single Family Homes: Purchase houses and rent them out. Maybe they are properties you renovate and then rent out. Single-family homes attract longer-term tenants that usually require less management.
      • Multifamily Properties: Purchasing multiple-unit properties helps to scale your portfolio faster. The business plan is pretty straightforward. When you purchase multifamily properties, ensure the rent covers your expenses and mortgage. Make repairs and renovations to boost rents. Focus on tenant retention; in 10 years, the property has doubled in value. Of course, this is oversimplified, but one recurring theme in these strategies is that they are pretty simple…maybe not easy, but simple.
      • Vacation Rentals: Buy properties in popular destinations and rent them out on short-term rental platforms like Airbnb and VRBO.
    • House Hacking
      • This is one of my favorite ways of getting involved in real estate investing. Buy a multifamily property, 2-4 units, live in one unit and rent the others out. Since you live there, you can usually get a low-down payment loan, making it within reach for many people. Check SS41 to learn more about house hacking. The link is in the description.

 

  • Commercial Real Estate
    • These properties usually require more experience and capital but can be very profitable. They include office buildings, mixed-use properties with residential and commercial spaces, retail properties, warehouses, and large apartment complexes. If you want to know more about Commercial Real Estate Financing, check out GI244, where Peak Financing Co-Founder & CEO Anton W. Mattli discusses Commercial Real Estate Financing. The link is in the description.

 

  • Real Estate Syndications
    • Passively invest in a real estate syndication with an experienced operator. Syndications allow smaller investors to pool their money with other investors to purchase larger commercial properties managed by professional operators.
  • Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
    • Investing in REITs is definitely the easiest way to start investing in real estate. REITs are available in most brokerage accounts and usually require a small minimum investment. Yes, you will miss out on the tax benefits (more about that later) and other important benefits, but it is easy, 100% passive, and you can do it today.
  • Some Additional Strategies the Wealthy Use:
    • Utilizing Depreciation: Depreciation is one of the major benefits of owning investment real estate. It allows real estate investors to defer taxes throughout the property’s investment hold period. For example, you own an income-producing apartment complex. As the property value increases, this is an unrealized gain, so it is tax-deferred, and you are receiving regular income from the property, which can also be deferred. How much income can be shielded depends on your tax situation. Still, it is not uncommon for many investors to defer taxes on their cash flow by utilizing depreciation.
    • 1031 Exchanges: 1031 exchanges allow real estate investors to defer capital gain taxes on an investment property when it’s sold if they purchase another like-kind property with the proceeds.
    • Team Building: Wealthy people have a team around them that includes bookkeepers, accountants, attorneys, property managers, real estate agents, and lenders, to name a few.
  • A Few Steps You Can Take to Start Building Real Estate Wealth
    • Start Educating Yourself
    • Start Preparing Yourself Financially
    • Choose a Strategy and a Market
    • Start Building Your Team
    • Start Underwriting Properties
    • Get a Mentor if You Need Hands-on Guidance

Charles:
Before we start, I want to clarify what I mean when I say wealthy, rich and wealthy are commonly used interchangeably, but truly wealthy people accumulate assets that produce income and or appreciate in value, usually both.

Charles:
That being said, we’ll focus on true wealth linked strategies through real estate before this. Episode. Number one is buy and hold residential properties. So this could be single family homes where you purchase homes and rent them out. Maybe they are a property to renovate first and then rent out. Single family homes attract longer term tenants that usually require less management. They could also be multi-family properties. Purchasing multi-unit properties helps to scale your portfolio faster, and the business plan is pretty straightforward. When you purchase multifamily properties, ensure that rent covers your expenses and mortgage, make repairs and renovations to boost. Rents focus on tenant retention, and in 10 years, the property has doubled in value. Now of course, this is very over simplified, but one recurring theme in all these strategies is that they’re pretty simple. Maybe not easy, but they’re simple. Another way of using rental houses is a vacation.

Charles:
Rentals now buy properties in popular destinations and rent them out on short-term rental platforms like Airbnb and VRBO. Number two is house hacking. Now this is one of my favorite ways of getting involved in real estate investing. Buy a multi-family property, two to four units live in one unit and rent out the others. Since you live there, you can usually get a low down payment loan, making it within reach for many people. Check episode SS 41 to learn more about house hacking, and the link is in the description. Number three is commercial real estate. Now these properties usually require more experience and capital, but can be very profitable. They include office buildings, mixed use properties with residential and commercial spaces, retail properties, warehouses in large apartment complexes. If you wanna know more about commercial real estate financing, check out GI 244, where peak financing Co-founder Anton Mattli discusses commercial real estate financing with us.

Charles:
And the link is also in the description. Number four is real estate. Syndications passively invest in a real estate syndication with an experienced operator, and syndications allow smaller investors to pool their money with other investors to purchase larger commercial properties managed by professional operators. Number five is real estate investment trusts or REITs. Now, investing in REITs definitely is the easiest way to start investing in real estate. Reits are available in most brokerage accounts and usually require a small minimum investment. Yes, you’ll miss out on the tax benefits more about that later and more important benefits, but it is easy. 100% passive and you can do it today. Some additional strategies the wealthy use that I want to touch base on utilizing depreciation. ’cause Depreciation is one of the major benefits of owning investment real estate. It allows real estate investors to defer taxes throughout the property’s investment hold period.

Charles:
For example, you own an income producing apartment complex as a property value increases. This is an unrealized gain, so is tax deferred and you’re receiving regular income from the property, which also can be deferred. How much income can be shielded depends on your tax situation. Still, it is not uncommon for many investors to defer taxes on their cashflow by utilizing depreciation. The next strategy I want to touch on is another tax strategy called the 10 31 Exchange. So 10 31 exchanges allow real estate investors the ability to defer capital, gain taxes on an investment property when it’s sold, if they purchase another like kind property or the proceeds. And the third strategy I see wealthy people utilize with their businesses is team building. Wealthy people have a team around them that includes bookkeepers, accountants, attorneys, property managers, real estate agents and lenders to name a few. So a few steps you can take to start building real estate wealth.

Charles:
Number one, start educating yourself. Start preparing yourself financially. Choose a strategy and a market to focus on. Start building your team. Start underwriting properties and get a mentor if you need hands-on guidance. So I hope you enjoyed.
