Ken, I'm a D.C. based Re investor with a portfolio north of $30M under management and you are the only TH-cam RE professional I recommend to friends and family looking to learn about commercial RE. Keep doing your thing.
Thanks for all the great info ken! With you and Robert kiyosaki teachings im ready to go out and make my mark! Ive put my fear away and brought the dog out of me. After almost 20years of working in the brutal Michigan winters and tons of hours spent working for someone else with your help ive reached deep down and found my confidence. I may fail,but ill never know unless i go for it. I pray you somehow see this comment. It would mean alot to get any advice. Thanks. God bless.
I supervise 420 Class C units for two local Real Estate investors, and our vacancy rate has been between 1-2% for the last 18 years that I’ve been with them.
Ken is so darn generous...without these "typical" mistakes made by those "Big Heads" in the industry, how do we expect to get the opportunity to pick up some value add investments which require some TLC/fine tuning....Those w/ plenty of $$$ but not enough "wisdom" in the real estate trade should thank Ken for his generosity and lessons to the game....Lots of lenders can learn from Ken's thinking to ensure they don't make so many bad loans down the pipeline....(of course, many are in it for the quick $$$/commission/flip, so they don't care beyond 3 yrs....)
Wow , you ate my virtual mentor! Tip #1 trust and verify. I've been looking for CRE 2 years and hearing lies from sellers, brokers. Thank goodness I've done the due diligence and passed on the CRE. Prices are dropping and good deals are coming up. Thank you
Ken ur information is amazing really appreciate you and learn a lot Any chance u can do a video of u walking potential deals and pointing out stuff like the condition, etc?
I see trouble down the road with single family homes, when rates do come down, those who bought high with high rates are going to want to refi but property has no more room for equity or are underwater. Same ppl who fell into fomo drove prices up.
Just curious, it seems you have mentioned people raising money online a few times. It does not seem you favor this method. What wiuld you recommend to someone new who has a deal they are working to close in todays hi tech environment where people barely converse with one another? Just curious. From someone that follows your channels all the time.
My problem is my local area is in Santa Barbara county in CA where everyone wants to own and overpays retail. How far out of area is ok as I know that area only. 3.5 cap which sucks and that’s cashing it out. Limited opportunities and slim pickings. Do I move?
I have a question about the washing machine idea. It seems to me that your tenants are going to be using your machines, whether they're inside their own apartments or in your laundry room. So why pay to own and maintain 2-300 washer-dryer units if you could pay to own and maintain, like, 20-30? Pay me $50 more for the machine, or pay me $120?
Hi Ken thank you for all the real information and what to look out for I'm seriously thinking about investing in Providence Rhode Island since it made the list maybe use a VA loan

Hey Ken, I have not purchased a unit yet , BUT i,m thinking about small resort unit ( 2/2 with kitchenette, furnished , ex- electr, w/ 275 HOA, covers internet water trash and outdoors cleaning and pool , this one happens to be in a premier Golf destination. How do you feel about those ? An in-house short term rental program is there but i think i want to rent the bedrooms separately and have a shared TV room /living and the kitchen . i have only roughly, done the numbers, it looks good. but wanted some one 's opinion weather i should buy into these kinds of apartments , my reasoning is IF i can,t get a 1year lease,that will cash flow , i can always go short term tourist rental and have another option of making money from it .What say YOU ?
25:45 It’s impossible to find a deal that cash flows day one. I’m looking for past 3 years. Brokers are fudging the numbers. Sellers are unreasonable. The market is just so upside down. 😢

Ken, you (and Kyosaki) were in the right place at right time. Congrats! Now, tell me how you’d do it all over again with today’s rates and lending restrictions if you were in your 30’s with say only $50,000 to your name. Thanks.
You are paid in a currency that loses its purchasing power faster than your pay increase, as long as you convert that pay into assets (doesn't have to be real estate) instead of liabilities, then you will be fine. I was a 25 year overnight success. Focus on your principles and values and extend your time horizon.
I’m a boomer too and when I was starting out in the early 80’s the country was going through a hard recession. I could not find work and had to move back home. Even if I did have a job I could not have been able to afford a home as interest rates were high. Over 12%. The baby boomers were born from 1945-1964. Two separate generations. The first group snapped up the good jobs leaving the second group to scrounge for whatever job they could get. I fell into the second group and I really struggled. I worried That I would not be established in a career (I was pushing to the age of 30) It all worked out. I found out career that paid a living wage. I was careful about my choices in where I invested. Because I was a late bloomer I couldn’t afford to make bad choices with money. Yes homes are priced to high. Not a good time to buy. So save your money and wait.
I would look into buying a 4 plex as a primary home, there are some very good financing options out there. If the payment is too high, get roommates (house hack). I bought my first house in college with me and 3 roommate's, yes it sucks, but it's temporary. I did / do what I had / have to, on my only property at the time, I've lost money every month during the 08-10, but I held on and made it. Good luck, I believe that you can do it too, and God bless!
Ken TBTH I never and I really mean I never comment on TH-cam and I never click adds (even though they might be good and even though I learn from a lot of them as they want to show some value to lure you). But out of thousands of people I listen to on investing, I have never seen someone so honest and straight that to me it seems you are not on here to make money (which I assume you already are making enough), I don’t see you selling so hard ( like grant C ha ha ). I paused my crazy life to make this comment so that you can appreciate that what a difference you are making in people’s life(I assume something you want to pass on as your legacy like ray dalio) . I want to learn to be rich from some one who is already rich and not preaching to get money but to get the appreciation (as I think after 38 we need more appreciation than money). Loved all the videos I have seen till now. I’d love to meet/talk if you ever come down to Toronto
Is this video for the U.S? I want to make a comment about Realtors in Canada (Alberta) It is very esential for the offer to have conditions, and as a realtor we always recommend it. Inspection and Condominium documents reviewed by a specialist. If a realtor doesnt recommend it, they are not working in your interest. Though in my years in realesate I have not seen a realtor not recommending conditions. I am shocked hearing this. Not sure of the area you live.
Do I need capital if I am only desiring to start my own management company (manage for fee)? I eventually would like to become an owner but I am not in the position to do so at this time.
I don’t think you would need any capital to get started. Just find an owner who needs help managing and start there! Real estate meetups would be my recommendation to meet your customers
I don't watch for advice, I just come here to fantasize about being able to own property in my lifetime. Pleb rentoids upvote if you own nothing and are not happy.
@@CrashBr0 yes, better to live hours and hours away from friends and family and also have to commute 2h to work every day, genius. What kind of society do you want to live in? You haven't thought this through. It's simply not okay for one boomer to own 15000+ housing units no matter what you bootlickers say.
With population collapse coming in the next few decades. The value of property will generally go down indefinitely, or until people start having babies again.
Your a genius! Oh your right, but... Did you have 1 million in your rainy day fund to cover your ass in 2007? When homes went down down down for 7 years? Rents went down to. How many bankruptcys happened in that time period, because homes only go up, right. Ok, Your a genius.
Until fiat currency collapses. Gold back or commodity backed currency would not be inflationary in the same way. And tech is also deflationary by nature which has been masked by inflation. Which cannot happen forever.
@darektartini194 What you really meant to say is, (Home values never change much at all.) But if you zoom out, and look at fiat currency, it will keep devaluating for the next 100 years, making us all think our homes are worth more. Only homes in high value areas, such as the beach front go up.

Sage advice well done
Thank you!
Ken is a legend! Thanks bud!
Thank you Ken, you are not only the guru of real estate..but the most honest teacher and advisor. We cannot thank you enough.
I supervise 420 Class C units for two local Real Estate investors, and our vacancy rate has been between 1-2% for the last 18 years that I’ve been with them.
Class C is a different animal but are you sure you're charging market rents? I'd be curious.
We keep up with market rents and have raised rents every single year except for this year.
Great, what area of the country are you in @walterperu68

Top notch video Ken. Incredible insights as always. We are fortunate to have you
Thank you Ken for your continued dedication to mentorship.
What he says makes sense. It's practical. Practical isn't sexy until a crash.

Appreciate your valuable insights that is evidenced with years of experience.
Ken…. You are a badass!! You alway create valuable content. Thanks!!!
Love This!! Super Grateful, Ken 😊
Killin it ken 🎉
Much appreciated!
Fantastic video, Ken ! Thank you
I see trouble down the road with single family homes, when rates do come down, those who bought high with high rates are going to want to refi but property has no more room for equity or are underwater. Same ppl who fell into fomo drove prices up.
Don’t worry rates won’t be coming down materially anytime soon.
Excellent video! Thanks for sharing.
Do people normally looking for CRE at looper and Crexi? I feel good deals will be snatched even before being listed there
thats the problem. good deals get snatched up directly from the selling broker pipeline, they network good with investors

Always very direct clear advice
Hello Ken, I am really struggling to understand cash flow. Any good resources you can recommend? Thanks
Excellent information! Bravo.

You can do it! Doesn’t matter what other people say, it matters what you tell yourself.
@@Lovepinkdress thank you. I appreciate your words of encouragement!
You have mentioned management many time but never go granular. What system do you use to train the property management? Maybe a new video idea ?
Great advices. Applies to many other things in life too.
Ken the MASTER 🙌🏻
Thanks Kenny
pure gold as usual
Hey Ken,

Correct go for it. Million aire coming ing
Great video - applicable to a lot of assets - thanks
25:45 It’s impossible to find a deal that cash flows day one. I’m looking for past 3 years. Brokers are fudging the numbers. Sellers are unreasonable. The market is just so upside down. 😢
I bought 3 rental properties in the last 3 years and all 3 were cash flow positive starting first or second month.
Have to find a different area

gold!
Value of dollar goes down as prices go up... check advantage.
Thank you.

I hope you have been fair with your tenants and have not exponentially raised their rents
Most ppl have more money than cents (sense)
What world do you live in? Most people don't have either is more accurate.

There are affordable homes. Probably just not where you want to live. But, with a defeatist attitude like that, you probably won't get anywhere.

Sorry, can’t relate.
What have you done wrong ?
If you zoom it out, real estate will always go up. Look at the next 100 years instead of 5 years.
