Key Takeaways:

“But the BRRRR is the idea that you can find the undervalued asset, you pull your down payment and you repeat the process, and it effectively allows you to tax-free withdraw from the property because you don’t pay taxes to yourself all of your down payment, and then roll into another property.” – Mike Rosehart

“There are two things that appeal most about real estate over all other asset classes, the first one is leverage. No one’s going to lend you the money, but they’ll lend you to buy real estate.” – Mike Rosehart

“Leverage is super attractive because if you’re buying strong cash flowing properties, good returns on investment, you’re looking at leveraging five to one, that’s an amazing return you can’t do in the stock market.” – Mike Rosehart

“The thing that I loved about real estate is that when you look into real estate, single-family, duplex, triplex, and a lot of the markets, institutional investors don’t touch that space, they stay out of it. So, it’s easy to develop a competitive advantage in that market.” – Mike Rosehart

“I very rarely JV anymore only because of the complexity attached to a JV having to have another stakeholder, I prefer to just raise the capital and then borrow the money at four or 5%. And then the rest of it,10 or 12%. And if you’re buying cash flowing properties, typically end up having more capital in your pocket and not having to share the equity.” – Mike Rosehart

“This is how I do a fixed return with the investor. I structure their piece as debt on the property all secured as debt for their capital that they’re bringing towards the deal, and then I give them an equity sweetener.” – Mike Rosehart
