What’s stopping you from investing in real estate? Money? What if there was a profitable rental you could buy with just $500 down? Well, today’s guest has found the perfect investment for rookies—a low-money, low-maintenance, low-risk rental that can cash flow as much as many single-family homes!
Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! JJ Williams only had to pay a $500 deposit to secure an asset that cash flows over $2,000 some months. And this home-run investment was just the start of his real estate journey. As you’re about to find out, JJ has gone on to purchase ten doors across three properties in just two years, focusing on providing short-term rental “experiences” that command the highest Airbnb rates. The best part? His portfolio brings in well over $6,000 in monthly cash flow!
How has JJ been able to build his real estate portfolio so quickly? In this episode, he shares his two-pronged approach which consists of reinvesting his cash flow and using creative financing to keep buying properties with low money down. Stay tuned to learn how seller financing can help you land deals that are otherwise out of reach, why you should underwrite all deals as long-term rentals, and why your cleaner is your most important short-term rental hire!
