The HELOC Strategy That Lets Him Buy Rentals Over and Over With Ryan Blackstone (Ep 569)

About this episode

Ryan Blackstone shares his HELOC strategy for building a rental portfolio by using a line of credit to purchase properties and fund renovations.

Ryan is using a simple but powerful strategy to build his rental portfolio, and it all starts with a HELOC. Instead of going through traditional financing, Ryan uses a line of credit to buy properties, using what appears to be cash. That gives him a huge advantage when making offers. After closing, he funds the renovations with the same credit line, focusing on cosmetic upgrades like flooring, fixtures, and paint to dramatically increase value. Once the property is stabilized, Ryan completes a cash-out refinance, pays off the HELOC, and repeats the process.
