The Moneyball Real Estate Show

People have been making all sorts of predictions regarding how COVID will affect the real estate industry. You may recall some discouraging predictions, like that home prices we’re going to drop, and comparisons with the Great Recession have indeed been made on many occasions.  So Steve and I got together recently to summarize our impressions about what’s really been going on in recent months. We...

For the first time ever on the Replace Your Income Podcast, we’re going to have one of our clients tell their story. Today, we welcome Kelly Fasterling, a long-time client who has transacted 13 properties with us. Kelly’s background is a career in IT with over 25 years of experience creating software. After her 401k being halved twice in just under 10 years, she realized she wasn’t going to reach...

We’re all involved in real estate in some shape or form. Whether we’re making money from it, or making somebody else money, we all have a role to play.  There’s simply no way around it. Or, as Steve likes to put it… ALL roads lead to real estate. With that in mind, it’s not surprising people find it a naturally appealing form of investing. But there’s one thing we learn along the way - real estate...

To LLC, or not to LLC?  That is the question, and lots of people have been asking it, hoping to find the right answer. We’d love to share our thoughts, but first, we have to set a disclaimer. Steve and I are NOT attorneys. Nor are we licensed CPAs.  To that extent, we’re not capable of providing you with any type of legal advice whatsoever. What we can do is speak from a place of experience. We’ve...

We’re huge advocates of using data to estimate real estate opportunities. Looking at numbers is a large chunk of what we do, and it plays a crucial role in how we make the right call. But it’s also incredibly important to know exactly which numbers to look at. If someone is cherry-picking data, then their estimate is irrelevant. There are a billion ways to look at the numbers. And if they seem too...

The biggest thing on everyone’s mind these days has to be the Covid-19 outbreak. It has affected virtually every single aspect of our lives. If there’s something we can all agree on, it’s that people are scared. And to a degree, that’s perfectly normal. The situation is serious, and we have to be serious about it. But we can’t let fear cloud our judgment. Whenever the situation becomes unbearably...

What makes a good real estate market for investing? In our line of business, this is one of the most frequently asked questions, and we regularly discuss it with our clients. First and foremost, an attractive real estate market has to fit well with what you’re trying to accomplish. Sounds simple enough, but that’s just the foundation. The tricky part is diving into the data, analyzing and weighing...

With real estate, people usually think they should invest close to home. To buy properties they can see, touch, and feel every day.  And in a way, it makes sense because it helps them feel like they have greater control over their investment. However, there are some massive downsides to this approach.  First off, real estate investments are a lot of work. And there’s only so much you can handle on...

Good deals get you closer to your goal. On that point, what makes a good deal will depend on what your goals are. It's all about perspective. Steve and I are focused on income replacement, which means conventional methods for estimating real estate opportunities don't apply. They're outdated. So, what are our options? In today's real estate industry, you can often hear people advocate "going with...

The first few episodes of Replace Your Income have been so much fun, and we got to go over some really interesting topics. Today, we’re going to bring everything together and explain exactly what we do with Done For You Real Estate. When we got started, Steve and I were looking to build our own real estate portfolio.  We understood that traditional retirement was broken, that income replacement wa...

Lots of people tend to overhype the importance of net worth. Plenty of it has to do with an old school of thought, but it’s easy to get tricked into believing it. After all, social media is full of people flaunting their extravagant lifestyles. And when your feed is full of people flashing wads of cash at you and showing off their fancy cars, it’s only natural to start thinking it’s synonymous wit...

Our great nation was founded on real estate and ownership. It’s a pretty powerful concept when you think about it, and in this episode, we’re going to explore it a little bit closer. Real estate isn’t the only thing you can invest your money in. For us, it’s the best way to go, and we’ll demonstrate why that's the case. We’re going to share a bunch of reasons why we like real estate far better tha...

What do you imagine when you think about retirement? For most people, the traditional retirement model is founded on building a nest egg. You work hard at a steady job for a long time, hoping to save up enough money to last you for the rest of your life. Still, recent statistics about retirement show that there is a legitimate reason for concern.  A sizable portion of the country is not on track t...
