ANECDOTE

Henry's Spider-Infested Rehab

Henry Washington bought a $55,000 house full of spiders and major rehab needs across from a lake.
He's turning it into a $265,000 rental and family's vacation home with short-term rental income potential.

ADVICE

Manage Rehab Costs Strategically

Control renovation costs carefully and avoid over-renovating to keep profits intact.
Leveraging volume with one contractor can get material discounts and efficiency.

ADVICE

New Builds for Busy Investors

Buying new construction in growth suburbs suits busy professionals who can't rehab homes.
Negotiate interest rate buy-downs with builders to improve cash flow and below median price purchase.

These rental property deals are making us richer in 2025, even with high housing prices and interest rates. Everyone thinks it’s impossible to find cash-flowing rental properties in today’s housing market, but this is NOT the truth. We’re going to show you three real rental property deals we’re buying in 2025. All of these are being purchased in 2025—these are NOT cheap deals from 2020 with 3% - 4% interest rates. Each one will build major equity, cash flow, or both.

Dave brought backup on this episode—the entire expert panel from the On the Market podcast—to share real deals they’re doing right now. We’ve got three to go through—a $55,000 heavy rehab rental property that will also serve as Henry’s own vacation home, a new build rental property at a super reasonable $214,000 price, and finally, a very creative (but somewhat costly) land-banking deal in Seattle, Washington.

Each of these deals ranges in expertise needed. Some of the heavier rehab projects may require a few years of renovation experience, while Kathy’s new build deal is a profitable rental ANYONE can buy right now. Regardless of your experience, you can copy these strategies and get richer with these rentals!
