Rental Income Podcast With Dan Lane

Ten years ago, Chase Bauer was commuting to work and listening to the Rental Income Podcast every day, dreaming about buying his first rental property. He had no idea how to get started, but after hearing enough success stories, he finally took the leap and bought a rental that generated just $400 per month in cash flow.Fast forward ten years, and Chase has built a portfolio that generates more than $1 million per year in rent and nets over $40,000 per month after expenses.On this episode, Chase shares exactly how he scaled from one rental to 80 doors. We discuss how his original goal was simply to own 15 doors, and how each purchase became easier as he gained experience, built systems, and developed relationships with contractors. He explains how he came up with down payments, the price range he targeted, and why keeping his properties concentrated in one small geographic area has been a major advantage.We also talk about his market, why most of his tenants use Section 8 housing assistance, and how that has provided a consistent source of qualified tenants. Chase explains how he self-manages the entire portfolio while still working a full-time job, the biggest challenges he faces as a landlord, and the level of rehab he typically performs on newly acquired properties.Finally, we dive into the numbers. Chase breaks down his portfolio's rental income, mortgage payments, maintenance costs, and overall profitability. He also walks us through the numbers on his most recent acquisition and shares practical advice for listeners who want to follow a similar path.https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode579Thanks To Our Sponsors:Rentec Direct - Automate the day-to-day work and make property management easy.

This bonus episode features Caeli Ridge from Ridge Lending Group, breaking down what’s happening right now with DSCR loans and why they’re getting so much attention from rental property investors.Caeli explains how DSCR loan rates have been coming down and are now very close to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac rates. We talk about why DSCR loans are often simpler than conventional mortgages, how they qualify based on the deal instead of the investor’s personal income, and why that makes them especially attractive for investors.We also discuss how increased competition from DSCR lenders has pushed Fannie and Freddie to lower their down payment requirements. Single-family rental properties now require as little as 15 percent down. Caeli also walks through the documentation needed for conventional loans and what credit scores lenders are looking for.Listen in on a coaching call with Caeli and a client: https://rentalincomepodcast.com/bonus-tinaContact Caeli:Websiteinfo@ridgelendinggroup.com1-855-747-4343

Tim Delaney has built a diversified real estate portfolio that includes long-term rentals, a short-term rental, and a strip mall.What makes his story especially interesting is that his very first deal was the strip mall, and he bought it with zero money out of pocket.On this episode, Tim breaks down how that deal came together and how a simple conversation with his banker introduced him to the BRRRR strategy. Tim knew he wanted to rehab properties, but he also knew his limits. He wasn’t a contractor and didn’t have deep construction knowledge. Instead of forcing it, he partnered with a friend who was a contractor.That partnership became a key turning point, with his partner handling rehabs while Tim focused on management, financing, and the numbers.We also dig into the day-to-day reality of managing rentals. Tim shares how much time property management actually takes, and the software he uses to stay organized.Finally, we talk about Tim’s Airbnb and whether the higher returns are truly worth the extra time and effort that short-term rentals demand. https://rentalincomepodcast.com/episode557Thanks To Our Sponsors:MidSouth HomeBuyers – Turnkey Rentals In Memphis & Little Rock.
