Episode #1310 Get $500 back on your appraisal at closing. Forbes named Express Capital Financing the #1 Hard Money Lender for the third year in a row, and they're crediting every borrower who submits a deal to celebrate. Offer ends August 31st: expresscapitalfinancing.com/biggerpockets Real estate investors often talk about *cash flow,* or the *profits from flipping a house,* but rarely the _total_ impact that *buying a rental property* and *holding it for multiple years* can have on your *net worth.* If you’ve never done the math, it’s significant. In many cases, *a single property can create several hundred thousand dollars in wealth.* And to prove it, Dave and Henry have each *handpicked a real estate deal from their own portfolios.* They’ll walk you through *how they found these properties, how they funded them,* and some of the biggest challenges they ran into along the way. But then, they’ll reveal exactly what happened once the dust settled and *compounding started to do its thing.* *These weren’t home-run deals or rare investing opportunities.* They were very “normal” rental properties in the hands of patient investors. If you do exactly what they did — *buy a quality asset in a good neighborhood and play the long game* — you, too, could *create life-changing wealth through real estate investing.* Episode Show Notes: https://lnk.to/biggerpocketsYT Join BiggerPockets for FREE 👇 https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?utm_source=owned_media 🎉Join us at the BiggerPockets Conference October 2-4 in Orlando.
