If you’re a beginning investor looking for the most painless and affordable ways to jump into real estate, you need to attend this month's meeting! Luke Neubauer and Bryant Grimes show you how to use the House Hacking and BRRRR strategies.
What's house hacking? That's where you use your own house as a launchpad into investing. As a homebuyer with W-2 income, you can qualify to buy a house using a low down-payment FHA loan. What can you do with that house to make money? You could fix it up, make it shine, and flip it a year or so later for a big profit. Or, you could bring in roommates and charge them rent — and cover most or even all of your mortgage payments as you learn to be a landlord.
What's "BRRRR"? It stands for "Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat." Would you believe that if you can scrape up enough money — whether through saving or borrowing — to buy and rehab one house into a rental, you have enough money to do that for countless others of them? It's true! And investors of all experience levels are BRRRRing their way into a portfolio of rental properties, achieving financial freedom one house at a time. The magic happens with the "Refinance" step.
This month Luke and Bryant will show you how to reach success with real estate even if you're new, even if you're working a 9-to-5 job, and even if you're saddled with student debt.
Meet Luke Neubauer
Luke describes himself as a “regular guy,” a lifelong learner and former middle school science teacher who invests alongside his wife, Christina. They have two children. Luke says they started investing part-time in 2011 with a $3,500 down payment and $5,000 in savings. They bought two properties that year and kept going.
By using the BRRRR strategy to buy and hold two or three rental properties a year over the next six years, Luke was able to transition into investing full-time in 2017. He says their family’s real estate income now supports their lifestyle.
Meet Bryant Grimes
Bryant is a CPA with over eight years of experience in accounting and finance. He began his career at Ernst & Young. Bryant is 32 years old with six years of gradual real estate investing experience and a full-time W-2 job. He describes himself as a “House Hacker x3” and says that after his first property purchase, he has lived exclusively in house hacks.
Bryant currently owns and self-manages 15 doors (short- and long-term rental) and has two flips in progress. Outside of work and real estate, he enjoys motorcycle touring, camping, and exploring new places.
