I’m your host Keith Weinhold and I’m going to answer a few listener questions today… ...about your cash flow, your total rate of return, and finally, Home Equity Lines Of Credit. Then we’re going to have one of the top real estate trend trackers in the nation join us here later. Let’s get right into it. Ellis from Gastonia, North Carolina asks, “Keith, Episode 188 had a great breakdown of how run you all of the numbers on an income property. The thing I’m wondering about is that your example only resulted in a positive cash flow of $150 on that property. With the maximum of 10 conforming loans that we can get, that’s only $1,500 in monthly cash flow. How would that be enough for us to leave our job?” Thanks, Ellis. And, of course, not everyone that listens here wants to have their passive real estate income replace their passive job income. Though many do. ...and it’s not a get rich quick thing...it’s about incrementally building up durable cash flow streams over years. Well, Ellis, and I’m not sure how many shows you’ve listened to. That example of the $150 cash flow was just for one SFH - and really for one of the lower-cost ones - the purchase price on that was 70-some thousand dollars. It was in Memphis. So most of the income properties you buy will have a higher purchase price, higher figures, and often a higher cash flow. Really, $1,500 with ten properties would be about as low as a projected number could possibly get. So Ellis, if you’re married, both you and your spouse - you each qualify for 10 one-to-four unit properties...20 total and BTW… ...you want to put those in your individual names. If both you and your wife were on the loan, that would count as a strike against each of your limit of 10, so as you buy, alternate back-and-forth - you own the first one, she owns the second, you own the third, and so on, or something like that. So that’s 20 doors minimum there - or I guess 19 since your primary residence is part of that formula, plus if you have some duplexes or four-plexes in there, that might be 25 or 30 or 40 doors. So, there’s so many reasons why you would likely have substantially more than $1,500 in passive monthly cash flow. Then there are financing programs beyond conventional ones, you might also have some 5+ unit apartment buildings, some agricultural parcels or a mobile home community, or maybe you even got a couple low-cost properties paid-off and don’t think it’s worth getting a loan for tiny amounts, so they produce cash flow although there’s no loan there… ...there are a ton of reasons why it would be way more tha
