Investing In Real Estate With Lex Levinrad

We have a lot of questions coming in asking about rental properties and turn key rental properties. Today's podcast episode talks about Turn Key Rental properties in Florida. On this episode I discuss a typical turn key rental property that we sell to our investors with property management included. The example that I used on this podcast is a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house in Port St Lucie, Florida....

On this podcast episode I talk about buying rental properties with no money down. No money down real estate investing is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood aspects of investing in real estate. I have had real estate agents and mortgage brokers tell me that it is impossible to buy real estate with no money down. Even my own mortgage broker who refinanced my rental properties could not qui...

On this podcast episode I talk about the pros and cons of Wholesaling, compared to Fixing and Flipping and Landlording. If you are a beginner then wholesaling is the easiest and best place to start out since it involves very little money, does not require credit and has no risk. Fixing and Flipping requires more money, borrowing hard money and has much more risk but also much higher profit potenti...

On this podcast episode, I talk about how new real estate investors have a tendency to focus on the wrong things. Many real estate programs tell new investors to start out by setting up their LLC's, opening checking accounts and setting up their website and business cards. As a new real estate investor, the only thing you should be focusing on is making money. The most important thing as a new rea...

On this podcast episode, I discuss buying real estate with other people's money and how you should be using private lender's to fund your real estate deals. I give you examples, including the first house that I purchased with no money down, and how that deal was structured. We discuss the advantages of borrowed money and why the leverage of tapping into other people's money is crucial to increasin...

On this podcast episode I discuss bidding on online auction sites like Hubzu, Auction and Xome. Online auction sites that list bank owned properties (REO's), and short sales are an excellent resource to find good deals at wholesale prices. Many of these deals have enough profit potential for you to be able to wholesale the property to rehabbers or fix and flip the property yourself. For example, I...

One of the biggest challenges for new investors who are looking to get into fixing and flipping houses, is the fear of not having a good contractor to do the work for them. I have seen this fear stop investors dead in their tracks, even when they have a good house, and the money lined up to buy the house. The fear of not knowing a contractor that will do the work or how much it will cost will prev...

On this podcast episode I discuss the importance of understanding full retail value when calculating the After Repair Value. As an investor it is very important for you to understand what a house would sell for once it has been fixed up. In order to know this, you need to understand the difference between full retail price on a property that has been completely remodeled with granite counter tops,...

One of the best ways to locate real estate deals is by something called "driving for dollars". Many of your competitors may be mailing post cards and yellow letters, or paying for expensive pay per click campaigns on Google or buying Facebook Ads. Some of your competitors may even be using automated dialers to cold call expired listings, for sale by owners or targeted lists that they have acquired...

On this podcast episode I discuss how wholesalers assign contracts when they are flipping houses and how assignments of contract work. We talk about the pros and cons of assigning a contract versus paying for a double closing and when you should double close versus assigning the contract. My personal preference is to always double close but many wholesalers that I know always assign almost every h...

On this podcast episode I talk about something that from the guy that taught me real estate - my mentor Ben. It's the concept of urgency and how when you spot a deal you need to have the sense of urgency to understand what you have and lock it up before someone else does. I like to use the analogy of a lion in the wild. If a lion has not eaten for weeks and it spots a deer then it doesn't think to...

On this podcast episode I talk about motivated seller appointments. When you are marketing to motivated sellers, regardless of the method you use to market to sellers, you will need to go on motivated seller appointments. On this podcast I discuss the initial lead intake form, and the type of conversation that you will have with a motivated seller. When you have that first conversation with the se...
