Having Kevin on the channel is really awesome. You are definitely an inspiring man Graham. I hope you are a good person as well and that you keep prospering. 👍
When Kevin asked graham why he didn’t raise rents... I get making as much money as you can is a core principle in the world of finance, but Graham’s wisdom of wanting long term tenants is one of the many reasons why I follow the dude
Yeah I was really shocked at how surprised Kevin was that Graham doesn't raise rents. If it was me being asked why I would raise rents I'd just reply with "because I'm not an asshole".
If i bought houses I would be the same way keep lent below market value rent of the area by 2 to 5% and have long term good tenants instead of new tenants every year.
My mother rents houses. One thing I've heard from her more than anything is about bad tenants. She rents one of her houses out to this couple for the same price now for some 10 years just because they're good tenants. Bad tenants make you have to go in and renovate to a certain extent. Torn up carpet, holes in walls, etc. Nightmare.
@@digitalconsciousness I can definitely see that. At that point though I'd just put something in the contract they sign when they rent the house that if they are really bad with the place they get evicted.
@@sevencolours5014 If you raise it so that it complies with inflation then that's fine, 1 to 1.5% a year is roughly the rate of inflation anyways. But the property managers where I live for example raise it over 10% per year.
LitBurn 487 How, though? Unless he decides to continue to hold 3M i.e. 30% of his portfolio in cash at all times. That would not make sense because the point in using low interest rate leverage is to allow you to grow your capital at a higher rate and pocket the spread. So, it wouldn’t make sense to borrow at x % when you’re always going to keep equivalent cash losing value @~2% thru inflation. I feel like this point could have used a little more discussion. After getting laid off from my very first proper job out of college with all of the debt in front of me, it has had enough of a psychological impact on me to not be able to use debt to grow. So, I’m more with Kevin on this but I am aware the folly in my thinking as I look back at how this mindset has held me back. So, I was hoping to learn from them as to how they go about sustainably managing debt during downturns. I have some ideas of my own but learning from their experience would have been a great opportunity. I think it’s a tough needle to thread.
shreetron the cost goes down each month as his tenants pay down the debt so overtime unless he keeps buying hyper expensive real estate he will not need the 30% in cash. That was Kevin’s point about your proteins paying for your pastas.
Zach M sorry but you’re missing the point. If he is lowering his debt over time (thru whatever means), he’s no longer in the same leveraged position. In other words, taking it to an extreme, once he’s paid off everything, he’s zero loans I.e. he’d have zero obligations, which was Kevin’s original point. I get that bit. What I’m specifically looking has to do with a leveraged position, not over-leveraged, just leveraged. I wanted to understand their perspective on how they’d go about sustaining a leveraged position long term. And maintaining an equivalent amount of cash position, which was Graham’s answer to Kevin’s question, is not a sensible solution.
Lol ,That's the Bigger boss attitude .The video reminds me of a year when I was so broke that I could barely pay my bills. I remember the most important step in my life when I invested my last income with an experienced Forex trader who was recommended to me by a friend. It may seem a bit, but it took courage to know that investing was the right thing to do at the time. Today my small investment of just $ 300 generated over $ 150,000,After I kept Investing and reinvesting. To be successful, you must take a big step. It all starts here.
@@klaus1618 I had a similar experience to yours. My investment in forex trading saved me from financial burdens after losing my job. Forex trading is very profitable when you have a good Forex trader.
I love how this is an actual conversation between these two men... Kevin is taking his time to look at the portfolio and make remarks, Graham is listening intently and giving his own explanations too. Love it!!!
I love how he just says, "Yeah, I get it." when graham is talking about selling his car to buy his second home. Kevin has such a boss billionaire mentality, doesn't waste time and he doesn't mess around!
Graham, I don't think I've ever commented on your channel, but I HAVE to say how impressed and heartened I was by hearing you say you don't raise rents. ❤️ Thank you on behalf of your tenants for being such a kind and generous property owner! Wish there were more like you!

@@mikeschafer4440 the video summarized it quite well, but basically the way I understand it is that if you buy a duplex let’s say for 200k, put 20% down (40k) loan is 160k, rent income for both units is 1600 a month and your mortgage is $600 (40k interest, 200k total mortgage, not sure too much on his interest works) net income is 1000, the owner of the duplex would not live a luxurious lifestyle, instead save and wait until he feels safe enough to be out of the existing debt, which is the 200k mortgage including interest. Which is why Kevin later mentioned that once the duplex is paid off then the owner would be able to eat steak because it is now debt free and the owner doesn’t have to worry about real estate crashing because he paid it off and is now profiting $1600 a month off rent. Also, Kevin mentions that the stresses of the debt (200k) in this instance can make the owner bankrupt in case of market crash, which is why the owner Eats “pasta” in his analogy. Also which is why Kevin also said to take on debt you’ll be able to get out of, hence him asking graham if he had 3 million dollars available to pay off all his debt in case of crash so he doesn’t go bankrupt. Hope this helped, I’m just stating my thoughts, anyone is free to correct if I may have said something wrong, thanks.
I know that it was an analogy to mean cutting back where possible, but for those who might take it literal: eating only pasta is not necessary to save...
I fully agree with Kevin on that. I got so many house calls and margin calls when I was poor and struggling to trade properly. Crap messes you up in so many ways. 1. It makes you sell at the bottom. 2. It makes it so you can't buy any at the bottom. 3. It adds extreme levels of anxiety you just don't need. 4. Against a market that likes eating noobs for breakfast and spitting out their bones.
Graham: I'm not going to geek out and be a fanboy. 15 seconds later Graham: Hey, remember that time when you were at the place and I saw you and got a picture with you??? That was awesome.
Property taxes usually go up annually esp if home value rises as his all did (can be by a lot). Also home insurance and maint in terms of cost of goods (items to be replaced or trade fees ie plumbers, elections etc) and for condos HOA fees incr annually incl large lump sum fees for special reassessments on owners and there’s no control or cap on them.
@@penguin12902 you gotta understand that as a landlord the rent is often your income. Eventhough rent doesnt increase, everything else that you purchase will increase with inflation. Its not greed its simple economics.

Financial education should be taught in every level of school but because of the misplaced priority we have in the system, those that don't know are suffering it.
@@is300vids He didn't come from rags to riches though, literally shows in the video that he bought $291k (in cash) worth of real estate/renovations in 2012 at the age of 21 without even having credit. There's no way a 21 year old had earned that much free capital starting from nothing, he was far from poor.
I've been watching this stuff since I was 16, 21 now and in still pathetic lol net worth is only a little over 50k, but also just graduated college which was tough to save/invest
Nothing wrong with raising rents. Taxes go up, insurance goes up, overall cost of property goes up as time goes on. Graham making a mistake by not at least trying to keep up with market rates.
Good episode. Although I think him being at a later stage in life gives him a more conservative outlook than someone in the wealth building phase. But good advise nonetheless
Market crashes are an opportune time to protect capital in the sense that one can gain years of growth from the bottom of a crash in a matter of months. this last crash provided over a decade of growth in majority of stock. Always be ready to jump at these opportunities.
Kevin O'Leary mentorship. He definitely didn't seem like the Shark on his show. I can now see why he's called Mr. Wonderful and on episodes why people prefer to work with him
So he says never put more than 20% of your savings into one specific investment/sector (stocks, realestate, bank account, etc) what are a list of different sectors to put money into to stay diversified?
Hey Chris, you're a legend! Bonds or other fixed interest assets are an important sector because of how safe they are. Some other examples are commodities and financial derivatives such as futures and options, although most people wouldn't really have high investments in those. I wouldn't take his 20% rule too seriously though, as even he said that more than 30% of his assets are cash.
@@btn1 he said 30% of his networth is in cash. the 20% was regarding investments. so 70% of his networth is in investments and of that he'll try have no more than 20% of his invested captial in any one asset and no more than 5% in any one stock option
Honestly, this concerns me and has left me uneasy. Especially this potential depression, no more a recession. I'm unsure about my $130K account strategy, considering the uncertainty of this whole recession mostly.
Agreed! this is why I work with one. My $520k portfolio is well-matched for every market season yielding 85% rise from early last year to date. I and my advsor are working on more figures for this year. IMO, financial advisors are the most sought-after professionals after doctors.
@@bighands69, very well said. A monthly mortgage payment (on a 30 year fixed loan) is almost always cheaper than rent would be on the same property. But the big benefit is the equity gain. Could you buy a cash house for dirt cheap and then buy a bigger one down the road when you've saved up for it? Sure. But that adds a big layer of risk over buying a modest house at a good price, and at a good interest rate, and just staying in it.
@Kristof Alexy If there is hyper-inflation, don't expect stocks or bonds to protect your wealth. If it happens, the only thing that can are real assets, of which real estate is just one example. And the operative word there was 'can', not 'will'. But there won't be hyper-inflation. It isn't caused by printing a lot of money, that has never happened. Not in Egypt, Rome, France, or Weimar. Hyper-inflation is caused by a nation losing a war, having massive losses of productive capacity, and governments being forced to take out large foreign debts denotated in currencies they don't control. And it has to happen in that order. As long as the federal debt is denotated in >90% Dollars (I believe it is 100% right now), there will be no more than 5% annual inflation.
@@rightwingsafetysquad9872, you're absolutely right about inflation risk. If you borrow 100k at 3.5% interest (like a mortgage), and inflation hits above 3.5% at any time in the next 30 years, you're literally making money in the form of equity just by spending someone else's money.
"I actually have more than 30% in cash"- Kevin How I understood this is that investors are not buying in todays market and are waiting patiently for the bubble to pop.
It’s also election time, coronavirus fears, plus the stock market is currently pulling back.. this guy is way richer than we could even hope to become, No reason to waste money lol
Billionaires acknowledge the sacrifice necessary to achieve what they've achieved. They aren't surprised by it and they aren't blind to it. To them it's the norm that you had to work 15 hours a day to build yourself up to millionaire status and it's the norm that you had to sell your car to get money for an investment.
@@brunomatassini9879 sacrifice such as somehow having enough cash on hand to buy hundreds of thousands of dollars of real estate at age 21... hmm everyone could totally do this
@@brunomatassini9879 there are plenty of people who do/have done that that are not now millionaires. he was smart and got rich off his investments - but the main separator from him and other people was having the cash on hand to invest at that level, not that he's a harder worker than anyone else.
@@tonykirk8295 Highly disagree, if it were easy everyone would be a millionaire. Having the money to invest isn't the hard part especially if you're working since 16 and not blowing your money on college. I made 10,000 in 3 months working a regular 40 hour job with overtime every once in a while at age 18. Imagine if I had started at 16 and kept the job until 21. Not sure why the "cash on hand" part is what's so difficult for you to grasp when it's actually the simplest aspect of how he started off.
It's crazy to know how big Graham's channel and himself has grown, first he started recording with his iPhone in an open house, fast forward a few years, to meeting Kevin O'Leary! Way to go Graham, ur such an inspiration ❤❤
@@GrahamStephan I agree with this statement. I feel you are and have been very wise with your money / investments. Real estate is a great place to invest. People always have to have a place to live. Starting out with the cash to purchase these investments, that you saved for years... putting off gratification in this instant gratification world. That says so much about your character and your determination. kudos!
This is a really smart move on Graham's part, especially since it looks like all his real estate properties look like family dwellings. My parents do the same thing with all their properties. This makes it so it is much easier to find good tenants that are generally there for the long-term and will take decent care of the property while they live there. A lot of times, the previous tenants will find new tenants for you when they move out and pass the lease on to someone they know so that you don't even have to do much legwork. By doing this, you'll never have to worry about months in between renters where you're basically losing 2-3k in rental income.
I like his thinking. He prefers long term reliable income over the stress of nickel and diming people and the hassle of always finding new tenants. Would you take a small financial hit to avoid significantly more stress and be able to focus on other things? I would
"Imagine being 40 and having to start again.." "You made some good purchases, these guys were buying yachts... OR GETTING DIVORCED" Gee! I wonder why marriage rates are through the floor!
Can you imagine a public figure you look up to saying you've done a good job with your investments, 8 years later when you finally meet. That must feel amazing!
I mean, TECHNICALLY, I raise rents to keep up with rent control - BUT, I give a credit back for timely payments so their actual out of pocket doesn't go up. That way, they pay the same - I increase the rent control limits every year so I'm not left behind - and everyone wins.
Kevin's greatest attribute is honesty. It's hard to find somebody that will tell you what you are doing wrong when you appear to be doing everything right.
Kevin has so much money that his sense of scale far exceeds what ours is. That meaning he doesn't need to compete with us so he can freely give advice as 99% of us won't even get close to stepping on his toes financially and it also helps to build his image. There's more profit in him helping smaller investors than it is to give them poor advice.
I think that's the best part of his whole portfolio. He treats the people on the other side of the table with respect and recognizes the value they have as good tenants.
I have to agree with Kevin, your expenses as a landlord increase yearly (taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc) so the rent increase should reflect that. It doesn’t have to be a huge bump, but a set 2.5% annually at renewal, and if renter on a month-to-month, then 3% increase.
@@---cr8nw But your opinion literally invalidates the entire purpose of investment, which is to maximize profits. It's like people that ask, "Why don't corporations just make less money?" That's like asking an NBA team to limit the amount of points they put up in a game. Kevin made the right decision.
OMG Graham--the transparency on your entire portofolio is mindblowing; the nuggets of financial wisdom from Kevin is priceless--we're watching the young titan vs the seasoned titan--love it! I just need to replicate this now LOL
I hear where Graham is coming from. I haven't raised rents on any of my tenants in years because I value their long-term commitment and contributions/enhancements to our units.
I must say I find Kevin O'Leary a lot more enjoyable and understanding in this casual mentor-student type of conversation. He has quite a lot of expertise, but he just seems like a nicer person this way. I guess he respects Graham being self-made. And it's probably true what he says: a lot of rich self-made people that eventually get bankrupt do so because of underestimating debt. Even though their investments were smart, there's always a small chance that you have to pay off all of your loans in a down cycle but don't have the liquidity to do so.
I'm surprised that he's as conservative as he is with investments. Maybe it's him having so many more years under his belt and knowing there's still a lot of time to do things. There's no need to rush as hard as we sometimes want. I don't know, just thinking out loud :)
You have to understand he probably got completely ransacked by the 2008 crash whereas Graham was only exposed to the positive aftermath of that (dirt cheap cash deals)
@@tungstenrat3994 u know Graham either already had it for businesses meeting or he rented it or bought it for cheap Graham ain't about to buy an expensive suit just for 1 video.
Raising rents means that he can cover inflation but on the other hand not raising rents means he can be super competitive in the marketplace. It can also lower vacant properties on his portfolio. Nothing worse than a property sitting empty as it can form damp and rodent issues.
@@bighands69 yes not only is he getting money from rent, but he is also getting free maintenance on the property. I'm sure that's hundreds a month of maintenance. And like he mentioned the longest someone has stayed is 7 or 8 years so he may loose some money after that many years but the average person only stays around 2 probably
@@rileyesmay, he's not losing money. The mortgage payment (P&I) is a fixed monthly price and that will always stay below rent. The taxes and insurance will grow and those SHOULD always stay within the rent payment, but even if they don't, he still comes out ahead. Sure, he might have to spend a little out of pocket every month to cover, but that's a full month of ownership where someone else paid the principle and interest toward equity for HIS ownership.
@@bighands69 It seems to me that generally "rent control" and other such practices, while sounding nice and fluffy, really are the kind of thing that could collapse the entire market if they were widespread enough.

How, though? Unless he decides to continue to hold 3M i.e. 30% of his portfolio in cash at all times. That would not make sense because the point in using low interest rate leverage is to allow you to grow your capital at a higher rate and pocket the spread. So, it wouldn’t make sense to borrow at x % when you’re always going to keep equivalent cash losing value @~2% thru inflation.
I feel like this point could have used a little more discussion. After getting laid off from my very first proper job out of college with all of the debt in front of me, it has had enough of a psychological impact on me to not be able to use debt to grow. So, I’m more with Kevin on this but I am aware the folly in my thinking as I look back at how this mindset has held me back. So, I was hoping to learn from them as to how they go about sustainably managing debt during downturns. I have some ideas of my own but learning from their experience would have been a great opportunity. I think it’s a tough needle to thread.
shreetron the cost goes down each month as his tenants pay down the debt so overtime unless he keeps buying hyper expensive real estate he will not need the 30% in cash. That was Kevin’s point about your proteins paying for your pastas.
Zach M sorry but you’re missing the point. If he is lowering his debt over time (thru whatever means), he’s no longer in the same leveraged position. In other words, taking it to an extreme, once he’s paid off everything, he’s zero loans I.e. he’d have zero obligations, which was Kevin’s original point. I get that bit. What I’m specifically looking has to do with a leveraged position, not over-leveraged, just leveraged. I wanted to understand their perspective on how they’d go about sustaining a leveraged position long term. And maintaining an equivalent amount of cash position, which was Graham’s answer to Kevin’s question, is not a sensible solution.
I think what he was referring to here was the fact that he can cashflow the payments out of his TH-cam earnings if the rental income goes away.

According to Google, O'Leary is worth north of $400 million.
the pasta and protein analogy is absolutely eye-opening!
Can you summarize that analogy real quick?
@@mikeschafer4440 the video summarized it quite well, but basically the way I understand it is that if you buy a duplex let’s say for 200k, put 20% down (40k) loan is 160k, rent income for both units is 1600 a month and your mortgage is $600 (40k interest, 200k total mortgage, not sure too much on his interest works) net income is 1000, the owner of the duplex would not live a luxurious lifestyle, instead save and wait until he feels safe enough to be out of the existing debt, which is the 200k mortgage including interest. Which is why Kevin later mentioned that once the duplex is paid off then the owner would be able to eat steak because it is now debt free and the owner doesn’t have to worry about real estate crashing because he paid it off and is now profiting $1600 a month off rent. Also, Kevin mentions that the stresses of the debt (200k) in this instance can make the owner bankrupt in case of market crash, which is why the owner Eats “pasta” in his analogy. Also which is why Kevin also said to take on debt you’ll be able to get out of, hence him asking graham if he had 3 million dollars available to pay off all his debt in case of crash so he doesn’t go bankrupt. Hope this helped, I’m just stating my thoughts, anyone is free to correct if I may have said something wrong, thanks.
@@muraddadasov8595 it mean you increase rent but you pay same debt

Kevin O’Leary: I don’t like debt anymore
Dave Ramsey: Lets be friends
Debt is a tool for many people that can help them grow their wealth. Too much debt is madness or having debt when you do not need it is madness.
@@bighands69, very well said. A monthly mortgage payment (on a 30 year fixed loan) is almost always cheaper than rent would be on the same property. But the big benefit is the equity gain. Could you buy a cash house for dirt cheap and then buy a bigger one down the road when you've saved up for it? Sure. But that adds a big layer of risk over buying a modest house at a good price, and at a good interest rate, and just staying in it.
@Kristof Alexy If there is hyper-inflation, don't expect stocks or bonds to protect your wealth. If it happens, the only thing that can are real assets, of which real estate is just one example. And the operative word there was 'can', not 'will'.
But there won't be hyper-inflation. It isn't caused by printing a lot of money, that has never happened. Not in Egypt, Rome, France, or Weimar. Hyper-inflation is caused by a nation losing a war, having massive losses of productive capacity, and governments being forced to take out large foreign debts denotated in currencies they don't control. And it has to happen in that order. As long as the federal debt is denotated in >90% Dollars (I believe it is 100% right now), there will be no more than 5% annual inflation.
Kevin O’Leary: But I understand debt and how it can be used to generate cashflow.
Dave Ramsey: Oh, nevermind.
@@rightwingsafetysquad9872, you're absolutely right about inflation risk. If you borrow 100k at 3.5% interest (like a mortgage), and inflation hits above 3.5% at any time in the next 30 years, you're literally making money in the form of equity just by spending someone else's money.

Graham: I don’t raise rent.
O’Leary: Why not?
Me: Where do I sign up?!
This is a really smart move on Graham's part, especially since it looks like all his real estate properties look like family dwellings. My parents do the same thing with all their properties. This makes it so it is much easier to find good tenants that are generally there for the long-term and will take decent care of the property while they live there. A lot of times, the previous tenants will find new tenants for you when they move out and pass the lease on to someone they know so that you don't even have to do much legwork. By doing this, you'll never have to worry about months in between renters where you're basically losing 2-3k in rental income.
Much better to lose a little to avoid hard tenants
I like his thinking. He prefers long term reliable income over the stress of nickel and diming people and the hassle of always finding new tenants. Would you take a small financial hit to avoid significantly more stress and be able to focus on other things? I would
But keep in mind, you'd be locked in with a rent of ~$4000 for a 3 bedroom house in his real estate portfolio.

Cuban - he's an idiot , he's a con artist😂
I have to agree with Kevin, your expenses as a landlord increase yearly (taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc) so the rent increase should reflect that. It doesn’t have to be a huge bump, but a set 2.5% annually at renewal, and if renter on a month-to-month, then 3% increase.

I hear where Graham is coming from. I haven't raised rents on any of my tenants in years because I value their long-term commitment and contributions/enhancements to our units.
God bless you. Keep doing good
I must say I find Kevin O'Leary a lot more enjoyable and understanding in this casual mentor-student type of conversation. He has quite a lot of expertise, but he just seems like a nicer person this way. I guess he respects Graham being self-made. And it's probably true what he says: a lot of rich self-made people that eventually get bankrupt do so because of underestimating debt. Even though their investments were smart, there's always a small chance that you have to pay off all of your loans in a down cycle but don't have the liquidity to do so.
I'm surprised that he's as conservative as he is with investments. Maybe it's him having so many more years under his belt and knowing there's still a lot of time to do things. There's no need to rush as hard as we sometimes want. I don't know, just thinking out loud :)
Yeah being against 30 year fixed uncallable debt on real estate for a 30 year old is... a little Dave Ramseyish.
I think at that point, it just makes sense to focus mainly on capital preservation and secondly on growth. 🤷🏼♂️ but I’m not too sure hah
When you have already won there is no need to play the game.
You take your chances when you grow, after you made it...conservative is king
You have to understand he probably got completely ransacked by the 2008 crash whereas Graham was only exposed to the positive aftermath of that (dirt cheap cash deals)
Poor Graham, in the end he was trying to impress Kevin and get a higher grade than last time (8.2) and Kevin actually lowers him to a 7 🤣
damn
Even went out of his way to buy a suit 🤣🤣.
@@tungstenrat3994 😂
@@tungstenrat3994 u know Graham either already had it for businesses meeting or he rented it or bought it for cheap Graham ain't about to buy an expensive suit just for 1 video.
@Alexa should have added the suit to the portfolio
😂
The Look on Kevin’s face when Graham told him that he doesn’t raise rents.
Raising rents means that he can cover inflation but on the other hand not raising rents means he can be super competitive in the marketplace. It can also lower vacant properties on his portfolio.
Nothing worse than a property sitting empty as it can form damp and rodent issues.
@@bighands69 yes not only is he getting money from rent, but he is also getting free maintenance on the property. I'm sure that's hundreds a month of maintenance. And like he mentioned the longest someone has stayed is 7 or 8 years so he may loose some money after that many years but the average person only stays around 2 probably
@@rileyesmay, he's not losing money. The mortgage payment (P&I) is a fixed monthly price and that will always stay below rent. The taxes and insurance will grow and those SHOULD always stay within the rent payment, but even if they don't, he still comes out ahead. Sure, he might have to spend a little out of pocket every month to cover, but that's a full month of ownership where someone else paid the principle and interest toward equity for HIS ownership.
@@bighands69 It seems to me that generally "rent control" and other such practices, while sounding nice and fluffy, really are the kind of thing that could collapse the entire market if they were widespread enough.
Bro Is the rent given is per month or year??
This was a super interesting vid...great job Graham.
"That's the biggest mistake you can make in your life is to worry about taxes. The fact that you need to worry about taxes is a wonderful thing.
It mean you're making money."
This is true - they are meant to be on top of what you are doing, not a heavy change of course pressure
My dad tells me this everytime I open my mouth about taxes.
