Questions from Listeners: 

  • Ken, Murfreesboro, TN, “My tenant shorted the rent this month, claiming they had to fix a water leak under the sink. Said he did it himself, but that saved me about $200, so he took $200 out of the rent. I think he can’t do this, but what do I do?”
  • Alexandra, Fresno, CA “It’s often a challenge to remove a tenant here in California. Where are some places that are more landlord friendly?”
  • Eric, Portland, OR “Hey I just caught your show on iHeart radio and watched some of your videos on YouTube. Thanks for all the information. I’m about to buy my first place and I’m thinking I might buy a duplex, live in one side and rent out the other. Do you think this will work?”
  • Robert, Tampa, FL “In your opinion what is the most reliable way to establish the fair market rent of a property? I’m not a realtor, don’t have access to the MLS, and hate to bug my realtor friends about it all the time.”
  • Ellen, Milwaukee, WI. “My husband and I just sold our home to downsize and we are trying to figure out what to do with the money -- over $200,000. He’s semi-retired, bored, and handy. We’ve thought about flipping some houses. What advice would you give us?”
  • Kandra, Las Vegas, NV “I recently attended a seminar here put on by [a TV personality]. I felt like it was just a sales pitch for a $20,000 course. But I was here for a course and really didn’t learn anything. I’m concerned that if I paid the $20,000 I might not learn anything there either. And I don’t have $20,000 anyway. So I didn’t do it. But I’m back to square one. I really want to learn this business! I don’t have any money and my credit has a few dings. Is there any hope for me?”
  • D’Wayne, Louisville, KY “How do you decide whether you are going to fix and property and flip it, fix it and keep it, or just wholesale it? I figure there must be a way to figure out the best thing to do with a property. I have a deal under contract for 72,000. It needs updating and paint and carpet. I think I’ll get $150,000 for it if I flip it. Or I could rent it out for $900 per month. But another investor just offered me $10,000 for my contract. What would you do?
  • Roberto, Long Beach, CA “What do you think the long term consequences for real estate will be in those areas hit by hurricanes. And do you think we will have a similar impact here in California because of all the wildfires?”
  • James, Lancaster, PA “I’ve been researching various REITs and crowdfunding platforms. REITs seem like less involvement from me, which I prefer, but the returns I’m seeing are at best around 6%. With crowdfunding I can get closer to 10% on my money but I have to be a bit more involved. While I’m thinking about it, do you have other options you would recommend?”

“Every person who invests in well-selected real estate in a growing section of a prosperous community adopts the surest and safest method of becoming independent, for real estate is the basis of wealth.” - Theodore Roosevelt, U.S. president
