This was the sale of a rental home I purchased in September of 1991 for $52,000, a 2 bed 1 bath. At the time I purchased the home, it was a VA foreclosure. As an investor, I was able to get a special VA loan offered to investors with 10% down. This loan product is still available today. This is the 1st home I had ever purchased never living a day in this house. It has been a rental for 27 years. Why is this a win? Well, I sold the home in a 1031 exchange for $189,000 and netted $180,000. I took the net proceeds and purchased 5 more rentals with Memphis Invest that have a net cash flow even better than the amount I had been receiving on this free and clear home I sold. BOOM!, that takes us to 10 PASSIVE income Properties with Memphis Invest!
How did the FortuneBuilders team and resources help you to accomplish this deal?
I was a bit inspired after listening to Than's presentation at the Scottsdale Bootcamp about commercial property and leverage. I decided and/or came to the realization that good, practical leverage was the only way to create and increase passive income, cash flow and build more wealth. Being a conservative mortgage banker/investor preferring not to owe any money to anyone, debt and leverage have always gone against my grain. Being Debt Free, that's a nice concept, but it won’t help you increase passive income, cash flow or build wealth. Education and Action is the Key! That presentation was THAN-TASTIC !
