The David Greene Show: How a Small Town Couple Built a RE Portfolio I Episode 143

Mom and Pop investors Jamie and Jana Gibbs join David and share how they built a portfolio of investment properties in small town Ohio, one at a time. The show covers how they manage them as STR’s, student housing, and rent by the room properties, as well as how they bought a house across the street and “overpaid” only to end up with a 40% cash on cash return. You’ll love this couple’s dedication and humility as they’ve built a portfolio that has allowed them to raise their children, work from home, and allow Jamie to coach college wrestlers. They’ve built the whole system using only one VA, and they share just how they do it, as well as how they analyze deals and hunt the next one, all on today’s show!

Mortgage Monday I Fixed-Rate Second Mortgages, a Unicorn Deal & the Truth About Unlicensed Lenders I Episode 142

This week we break down the fixed-rate second position loan (the "HE loan") — how it works, when it beats a HELOC, and how it can help you avoid PMI with an 80/10/10 structure. We also walk through two real deals: a 17,000 sq ft "unicorn" property with no comps and an urgent appraisal deadline, and a Smoky Mountains short-term rental that moved from a 9-month hard money loan into a 30-year fixed DSCR loan using projected rental income. Plus, a candid warning about the unregulated corners of non-QM and hard money lending, and why working with a licensed professional protects you from bait-and-switch tactics that leave borrowers with no recourse.

We cover how Jack identified and purchased properties, how he structures his BRRRR partnerships, and crazy stories from Airbnb guests. We also talk about the exact scripts Jack used when calling off market properties and what he did to find their phone numbers while walking around downtown. The show dives into the perspectives that drive one’s ambitions to invest in RE and what made Jack successful when others lost interest. Really inspiring show!

David Greene Show I RE Success to Gambling Addiction and Back with Dillon Alder I Episode 139

Dillon started his career off with several successful BRRRR’s, pulling more money out of his first house than he put in. This lead to several more successful deals until life circumstances through him off balance and he found himself checked out on his job, his business, and his investments. A few bad tenants later and Dillon was staying up all night playing poker, sleeping in, and living off the money he had pulled out of his deals. When he finally realized how bad the finances had become, Dillon got back into church, found a girlfriend, made his way back into the gym, and turned things around. Now with his contractor’s license intact, Dillon shares his story of how he fell into the trap and what he’s doing to stay out. A great cautionary tale for other investors who have yet to experience the hardship he did. We cover what to look out for, how our culture is creating dopamine addicts, and how you can prepare for the likely upcoming recession.
