In just four years, Dylan Osmon went from having no job, barely any money, and no real estate investing experience to owning over one hundred rental units. How’d he do it so quickly? Before we answer that, we’re going to make this a little more impressive. Dylan isn’t buying in the big cities with tons of inventory going on the market every week—he’s been buying in tiny towns that you and almost everyone else listening to this have never heard of. And he may have struck gold by doing so. Dylan acquired his first investment property right before the lockdowns. Then, after closing, he quickly realized that this was the worst rental property he could have bought. It had everything—low rents, tenants who never paid, and, to top it off, a cesspool of human waste in the crawlspace—everything you need for a deal gone wrong. He quickly got control of this nightmare rental, flipping it and walking away unscathed. But now, he had to start back from square one, this time with new knowledge. Over the next few years, Dylan made it his mission to build multiple income streams, so every dollar he made went into new deals. He eventually met partners that would help him scale even quicker and learned the secret to finding the best off-market properties—don’t worry, he shares it in this episode! Now, he’s got over one hundred rentals across three small markets, and if you copy his strategy, you could too! ~~~~ Join BiggerPockets for FREE 👇 https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?utm_source=owned_media ~~~~ Expand Your Investing Knowledge With the BiggerPockets Books: https://store.biggerpockets.com/?utm_source=owned_media ~~~~ Find an Investor-Friendly Agent in Your Area: http://biggerpockets.com/agentmatch ~~~~ Find Investor-Friendly Lenders: http://biggerpockets.com/findlenders ~~~~ Use The BiggerPockets Investment Calculators On Your Next Deal: https://www.biggerpockets.com/investment-calculators?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Hear Dave and Henry On the “On the Market” Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/OTM ~~~~ 8 “Under the Radar” Housing Markets With Low Prices and High Cash Flow: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/best-unsexy-housing-markets?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Connect with Dylan: BiggerPockets: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/dylano31?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dylan.osmon Instagram: @dylan_osmon or https://www.instagram.com/dylan_osmon/ Website: https://propertymanage.biz/osmonproperties ~~~~ Connect with Dave: BiggerPockets: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/davem27?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none Instagram: @thedatadeli or https://www.instagram.com/thedatadeli/ ~~~~ Connect with Henry: BiggerPockets: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/henryw22?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none Henry: @thehenrywashington or https://www.instagram.com/thehenrywashington/ Show notes at: https://link.chtbl.com/BPRE 00:00 Intro 01:28 Worst Rental Ever? 07:51 What You Need to Know to Invest 10:59 Investing in Small Towns 13:36 Scaling in a Small Market 16:58 124 Units in 4 Years! 22:32 How Dylan Finds Off-Market Deals 26:00 You NEED Cash Reserves 32:31 $70K Profit on One Flip!
