@therobertleonar provides a constant drip of refreshingly practical and authentic real estate investing advice. Always a good day when his latest show hits my feed

His conversation this week with @FIG_Multifamily is no exception

5 points that stuck with me:

👇Thread👇
1/ Finding a House Hack:

Great deals still exist

The 1% rule isn't gospel; if the numbers work...do it

Look at the oldest listings on the MLS to find hidden gems

More units = more cashflow (typically)
2/ Financing a House Hack:

Owner-occupied mortgage rates are stupidly low; pounce now

Use seller credits to lower cash to close and boost ROI

FHA loans create massive upside potential due to the low down payment

PMI shouldn't scare you if the numbers still work
3/ Raising Rents After Closing:

Provide rental comps to frame the conversation

Increase rents incrementally (between current price and full market rent)

Treat tenants as partners not adversaries

Real estate is a business; run it like one
4/ The Beauty of Fourplexes:

The Goldilocks of real estate investing

Conventional financing on commercial scale cashflow

New builds are "arm chair value-add" opportunities
5/ Cost Segregation:

Residential real estate is depreciated over 27.5 yrs

Cost segregation allows you to accelerate depreciation for certain parts of a property

More depreciation = less taxes and greater wealth
