Home equity in the US is at a record high of $35 trillion, making it an opportune time for direct real estate investment. By self-managing properties, investors can gain more control, avoid potential pitfalls of syndication deals, and maximize their returns. The "Fire Your Managers" course provides valuable insights and strategies for effective self-management, including increased cash flow, higher security deposits, and improved tenant relationships. https://fireyourmanagers.com/ Bob Pellegrini, a seasoned real estate investor from Denver, shares his recent success with rent-to-own deals. By converting traditional rental properties into lease options, he's secured larger security deposits, reduced management responsibilities, and increased cash flow. This strategy, learned through a fire-your-manager course, involves carefully screening tenants who are potential buyers. Pellegrini's latest deal involves a new construction home in Huntsville, Alabama, where he's implemented a two-year lease option with a significant non-refundable deposit. This approach not only benefits the investor but also offers a pathway to homeownership for qualified tenants. #RealEstateInvesting #RentToOwn #LeaseOptions #PassiveIncome #FinancialFreedom #PropertyInvestment #RealEstateTips #Investor #RealEstateMarket #Homeownership Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 2:33 Become a DIRECT investor 5:56 https://fireyourmanagers.com/   Robert Pelligrini's interview 11:43 Meet Bob 13:08 Rent-to-own deals 14:36 Finding the right tenant 17:03 Details of the deal 20:39 it's not for everyone 23:13 Blog post: Navigating the Maze- Dealing with the Pivotal Issues of Rehab Property ___________________________________________ I'm speaking at Global Citizen Week and as one of the speakers, I’m also excited to offer my network a few VIP passes—which means your access will be complimentary (usually priced at $1,500).
