About two weeks ago, I made a video explaining why I now own a little over $4 million dollars worth of real estate, and why I choose to pretty much invest EVERYTHING I make into buying more property:
1. First, I can borrow “cheap” money by taking out a fixed 30-year loan at a rate just barely above inflation
2. Second, I can leverage my money to generate a higher return on my investment
3. Third, real estate can make for great cashflow
4. Fourth, I get a LOT of great tax advantages
5. And fifth, I’m a believer in long term appreciation of property values
So given all that, it’s pretty much been an unspoken goal of mine to buy a new property every year. And this officially begins my home search…again…since last year.
To those who believe the market will drop, here are my thoughts - I have NO IDEA what will happen in the short term. But In terms of the people who ARE buying real estate…they’re VERY qualified. They have hefty down payments, they have great credit, they have verifiable income, they have equity in their home, and they’re getting 15-30 year mortgages with the intention of holding it long term. These are very few investors, these are owner users, and they’re not trying to flip the home for a profit in the short term like we saw in 2006 and 2008.
This TYPE of buyer should add plenty of stability to the real estate market in the event we see a downturn, because these are the people who are unlikely to sell, they aren’t going to take a loss on their home, and they have the finances to continue making their payments until the market rebounds.
I’m also seeing a LOT of wealthy people keeping cash on the sidelines, just WAITING for there to be a drop in prices…so I believe that if we DO see a sudden decline in prices, there’s no shortage of people out there to buy back in, giving us some level of support from things getting “too bad.”
However, I’m not naive, and I STILL do want to protect myself IN THE EVENT SOMETHING DOES HAPPEN….and you can only do that by getting a good enough deal where, if the market declines in value, my worst case scenario is just breaking even.
Point being….in this market, or ANY market - that is, I’m looking for value. I want something that I believe has a strong likelihood to go up in value, I want something that has some potential to fix it up, and I want something that would also have a strong rental demand. It’s a tall order, but - it’s out there. Somewhere.
Now…in terms of HOW I find deals in this market…I have two strategies:
One, look every single day and find a property as soon as it comes on the market. Every now and then, you’ll find a listing come up that’s absolutely AWFULLY marketed…I’m talking wrong square footage, terrible pictures, wrong bedroom or bathroom counts, you name it. Sometimes, those properties are also priced under market value because the seller and agent have NO IDEA what they’re doing. If you spot a listing like this, JUMP ON IT ASAP.
Secondly, my other tactic is to look at homes listed on the market a LONG time - because those properties are likely going to be more likely to negotiate. Those deals are AMAZING…go through old listings, make lower offers on homes that have been sitting around for awhile…and at that point, it’s a numbers game. Just go into it with your limit, knowing what it’s worth, knowing the upside the deal has…and stick with it. You NEED to negotiate everything, and if you’re a ready and willing buyer…you have the leverage, as long as you aren’t competing with any other buyers.

I took forex as my part time job and I invested on mr.Dennis trading platform $500 and got $6,5"0 after a week, this idea are for beginners and people like me I wish I had done this 3 years ago with mr Dennis @dennis_forex09 on instagram he doesn't discriminate.
A trader with so much ambitious goal towards his clients, a man with love and care for others.You're magnificent when it comes to investments,contact this great Manager at instagram @Dennis_forex09 send a direct message for guide .
The most fruitful decision of my existence was trading with Mr Charles @Charles_forex09 on Instagram, I wouldn't have a second thought of choosing him over every other trader. I started trading with just $700 and in few days I got a return of $8,500. His diligence and trustworthiness can't be compromised.
Which websites do you use to do your research on new properties? I just use Zillow but I want to use more
Trading as a beginner was very difficult due to lack on trading experience, this resulted in losing my funds though I've been able to recover all that I lost, all thanks to Mr Charles_forex09 on Instagram , i never knew good trader still existed till I come in touch with him.,
I was scammed 2 months ago by online scammers posing to be online crypto traders with glamorous looking accounts on Instagram but ever since a friend introduced me to a trader here in new York things really kicked off for me so well..I've so for invested $50,000 and made a profit off $255,000 you can go look him up on Telegram @AUSTEN ALEXANDER
Hey Graham, what type of counter tops do you recommend in rentals? Assuming you needed to replace the counter tops.
After Watching this I got to step up my game!

🔥 I’m smashing the 👍
Why was the real estate industry blind-sided by the coronavirus and how will we know when it will end?
There has been no previous occasion for this kind of downturn of economic activity. Recessions or severe economic slowdowns are usually caused by the exchange between economic and/or financial differences during the period of expansion. According to a leading real estate research company, calstatecompanies, this time it is very different because the underlying cause of the downturn initiated from external economic and financial domain: a highly contagious new coronavirus that has been spreading fast since the beginning of the year.
You have a black hole in the backroud😂😂ok lol i love real estate investing and i started doing it
Graham i’m a huge fan of yours man. Recently finished building my second property about 30% below market value at 25. I got my general contractor license about 3 years ago with the help of my father. Instead of looking for good deals I’m building my own deals well below market value at construction cost. I recommend that anyone with a little construction background to do the same. Now is time to refinance, cash out, and repeat. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.
Smart young guy buy really can anyone in any other area of America relate? Entry point on real estate is 1.8 million is insanity land. Im from NJ and now live in NC. Houses here in Raleigh area are 150k to 250k all day long. I have several rentals. Would anyone like me to start my own youtube page showing how to get started with a regular job. I mean most agent make 40k to 80k a year. I know in LA 4 houses sold at 2 million each will make you 160k-200k a year depending on your split with your agency but in the real world noone is selling 8 million in real estate unless they been in the market atleast 10 normally. I mean here in Raleigh that selling over 32 houses at 250k each. Thats almost 3 closing every month. Is anyone here a broker? I am i can tell you that is working 100 hours a week doing crazy marketing an really killing it. Sure a very very few agents who been in the game less than 10 years can achieve that but for newer agents 99 percent are not making that. Im not saying it cant be done but just incase you want a life and still want to know how to get started on buying rentals and having a couple of grand extra money a money in about 5 to 10 years. Thats having a regular job making regular salary. If you want to watch these very few guys who are making milliones have fun but if you want actual real world advice that works in the real not LA world let me know.
Great content as always. I’m all ears when I see your videos. Thank you
1 property per year, that’s interesting, i’ll do that
Thank you man. I’m 20, factory worker, 4k saved up with a 680 credit score. And studying for my Realtor license! Can’t wait to get started on my first rental!
You have to love real estate!
Great
