Investing In Real Estate With Lex Levinrad
🎙️ The Investing in Real Estate Show Sellers Are Capitulating Hosted by Lex Levinrad Hey everyone, and welcome to the Investing in Real Estate Show. I’m your host, Lex Levinrad, and on today’s episode, I want to talk about what’s happening right now in the real estate market — because things are changing very rapidly. For the first time in a while, we’re beginning to see signs of capitulation. Now, capitulation is a term that comes from the stock market. It describes the point when investors give up — when stocks have been falling and people finally throw in the towel...

The Current State Of The Real Estate Market in 2025
Investing In Real Estate With Lex Levinrad
TRANSCRIPT: Hey everyone, welcome to the Investing in Real Estate Show. This is your host, Lex Levinrad. In today’s episode, I want to talk about the changing real estate market. And I’ve got to tell you—things are changing quickly. I had a Boot Camp event a couple of weeks back, the Buying Rentals and Building Wealth Boot Camp. We were showcasing some case studies, and one of our students, Manny and Haley, had acquired a property for just $105,000 in Palm Bay. They decided to wholesale and flip that property. I was actually the buyer—I ended up purchasing that property for $110,000....

The Opportunity With Section 8 Rental Properties
Investing In Real Estate With Lex Levinrad
TRANSCRIPT Hi everyone, welcome to the Investing in Real Estate Show. This is your host, Lex Levinrad. On today's episode, I want to talk to you about the opportunities in today's market with rental properties. We have a very unique set of circumstances that have led us to where we are now. The first thing we saw was the absolutely crazy increase in prices that happened after COVID, from 2020 to 2022. There was a huge jump—most areas increased at least 50%. In some areas, prices went up as much as 70%, 80%, even 100%. With this huge price increase, it became nearly impossible to find...

How To Make more Money
Investing In Real Estate With Lex Levinrad
On today’s podcast episode I talk about how to make more money. I talk to some students at my real estate training events who are looking for ways to increase their income. Not everyone is interested in waiting years to build wealth and equity with rental properties. Some people are looking to make more money now. And that is what today’s podcast episode is about. Many new real estate investors are attracted to real estate investing and specifically wholesaling and flipping houses, because they are looking for an easy way to make more money. But I have noticed that these people...

Understanding the BRRR Method
Investing In Real Estate With Lex Levinrad
On today's podcast episode I talk about the Buy, Repair, Rent and Refinance strategy commonly referred to as the BRRR Method. This is one of my favorite real estate strategies and one of the easiest ways that I know to create long term wealth with real estate. The Buy, Repair, Rent and Refinance Strategy was the method that I used to make my first million dollars in real estate. It has helped me, and many of my students become multi millionaires. Ironically, out of all the real estate investing strategies that there are, it's the easiest strategy to employ for a beginner and requires the...

How To Buy Houses in 2025
Investing In Real Estate With Lex Levinrad
On today's podcast episode I talk about how to buy houses in 2025 and what to look out for as an investor when buying in today's market. The past 3 years have been an interesting time for real estate investors - especially in Florida. We have seen interest rates move up from a low of 2.65% in 2022 to above 7% by October 2023. This rapid increase in interest rates which was orchestrated by the Fed to reduce inflation had a very sobering effect on the real estate market. Prices peaked around July 2022 and have been on a gradual decline ever since. Over the past year, the market has...

Bidding on Online Auction Sites
Investing In Real Estate With Lex Levinrad
On today’s podcast episode, I talk about bidding on online auction sites, and buying bank owned properties and foreclosures. In order to understand buying foreclosures and bidding on bank owned properties on online auction sites, it’s important that you understand the foreclosure process and how it works. I will be covering this in detail at the Foreclosures and Bank Owned Properties Boot Camp next weekend. You can learn more about the Foreclosures and Bank Owned Properties Boot Camp at the link below: There are 4 stages to foreclosure: Pre-Foreclosure Foreclosure ...

How To Find Deals in 2025
Investing In Real Estate With Lex Levinrad
On today’s podcast episode, I talk about how to find deals in 2025. The market has shifted and 2025 will be a big year for change in real estate. The Current Real Estate Situation Real estate prices are up by more than 50% since 2020. The 30 year mortgage rate has increased from a low of 2.65% in 2021 to above 7% today. Anyone who purchased real estate before 2020 is sitting on a lot of equity, and most likely refinanced into a very low interest rate mortgage. These homeowners have no incentive to sell. This is one of the main reasons why inventory has been so low. But what about...

How To Buy Bank Owned Properties
Investing In Real Estate With Lex Levinrad
BUYING BANK OWNED PROPERTIES On today's podcast episode I talk about buying bank owned properties. This is an important episode because pre-foreclosures and foreclosure auctions are sky rocketing in 2024, and many of these foreclosures that we are seeing now will ultimately end up as bank owned properties. It is important for you to understand how the foreclosure process works in your State so that you can better understand how many of these foreclosures will become bank owned properties and the timeline of how that happens. Typically, when you have not made your mortgage payment for 120 days,...

Buying Houses Subject To the Existing Mortgage
Investing In Real Estate With Lex Levinrad
On today's podcast episode, I talk about buying houses subject to the existing mortgage. This investment strategy is also known as "assuming the mortgage" or buying "subject to". As prices have pulled back around 15% from the peak, many sellers are realizing that they will not be able to get their Zillow estimate if they sell their house. There are a lot of people who purchased houses 3 years ago when interest rates were as low as 2.5% or 3% (on a 30 year fixed rate mortgage). Today the rate is 6.5% which is more than double what the rate was just 3 years ago. This has created an...
info_outlineOn today's podcast I talk about creating a life of financial freedom.
I think this is a very approriate time for me to be talking about this becauase last week I returned from a two month trip to the Bahamas where I was living on my catamaran.
I was interviewed by my students Fred and Andy on Sunday night on an IG Live that they were hosting, and one of their main questions on that interview revolved around how to create financial freedom, and what it means to build your life by design and to have a freedom lifestyle.
But their real question was "How do you manage to be off the grid in the Bahamas for two months and still have your real estate business run so efficiently? So I thought I would talk about this concept of financial freedom on today's podcast episode.
Building a life by design means having intent in how you want to live your life, and then creating that life and that lifestlye by purposely planning for it. Learning how to invest in real estate and building a real estate business that buys and sells real estate is the best vehicle to help you achieve financial freedom.
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments.
