The latest episode of the Invest Four More Real Estate Podcast features me (Mark Ferguson) talking about financing. I know many people are scared of debt and feel cash is the best way to buy properties, but using cash actually decreases your returns if you are buying the right properties as flips or rentals. In this podcast episode I will talk about how financing is not as risky as you think if done right and how it can increase your returns as well!
Most of what’s been covered on the Invest Four More blog and podcast have been fix and flip, rental, and wholesale deals. Today’s show is a world different - land deals. Seth Williams got into real estate investing after reading the classic book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and hasn’t looked back since. The very first deal he found was a land sale and he made a profit on it. That set the course for him becoming very proficient at finding and working land deals and in this episode of Invest Four More, Seth’s going to share the basics of how to find land, how to make contact and work a purchase, and then how to resell the land for the best price and least amount of work possible. It’s an out-of-the-box episode you’re going to love.
Are you working at a low paying job? WalMart? Target? Convenience Store? Do you feel like you’re never going to be able to get into real estate investing? Today’s interview should be a very encouraging episode for you. Nate Armstrong was working at Target and watching all the fix and flip TV shows. In his own words, he was addicted to them. He was excited to flip a house himself so he financed his first deal on a credit card and with a bank loan… and that’s how an incredible real estate empire began. Don’t believe it? Listen to Nate’s entire story on this episode of Invest Four More.
One of the best investments possible - yes, one of the best possible, is in rental properties. Why? There are many reasons, which Mark Ferguson is going to cover as best he can in this episode. But one of the biggest reasons is the cash flow good rental properties provide. Cash coming into your bank account, month after month, enables you to do lots of things: supplement your personal budget, buy additional rental properties, pay off debt, and many other great things. The stock market can’t provide that. Neither can government bonds. And on top of that there are other advantages to rental properties that Mark’s going to cover in this episode.
