Quitting His Job with Real Estate After Cracking the Cash Flow Code
About this episode
Want to quit your job with real estate investing? Rookie investor Miller McSwain has a strategy anyone can copy to make serious cash flow. This investing strategy is rookie-friendly and allows you to learn the real estate investing ropes while making serious money. Miller now has six properties with forty-one units in total, and today, he’s sharing this easily repeatable strategy for quickly building wealth.
Miller will be the first to tell you that his “coliving” strategy is not rocket science. He should know—he’s a former rocket scientist. After house hacking and renting out the rooms in his home, he realized how much cash flow the rent-by-the-room strategy makes. But instead of buying houses with as many rooms as possible, he began focusing on community living and homes with inviting common spaces, allowing for higher rents.
So, how do you start with this strategy? Miller explains, in detail, precisely what makes a great coliving investment property, how to market your rooms to get the most tenants possible, and what to do when conflict arises between roommates. After six properties, he’s still hunting for more, and if you’re looking for higher cash flow rentals, this is a strategy you should definitely try.
