As a toddler, Daniel was lucky sufficient to dwell the perfect suburban way of life, however when his dad acquired laid off throughout a recession, issues rapidly modified for the more severe. After seeing his mother and father wrestle to place meals on the desk, younger Daniel determined he would do every thing he might to stop himself from being in an analogous state of affairs financially. As soon as Daniel began making his surgeon wage he assumed he’d be financially steady, however he started to broaden his way of life to his wage and began drowning financially. It was at this level he determined to show to actual property investing.
He began by listening to BiggerPockets and determined investing was for him as soon as he realized he might attain monetary freedom quicker by means of actual property. The primary couple properties he invested in had been turnkey properties. With much less danger, Daniel felt it was a cushty begin to his investing journey, however after some time he needed extra of the motion.

What do now we have to do,” and assessment earlier than we acquired began. However you guys will discover one factor totally different, my background, should you’re watching on YouTube, I’m not in my closet. So I lately this previous week I went snowboarding in Colorado and I hit a few timber.
Tony Robinson:
Actual, good and informal about it.
Ashley Kehr:
Yeah. So I ping ponged off some timber entering into a woods path and I’m now sitting right here on the sofa and my leg elevated with some ice, knee brace, crutches, and ready to go to an orthopedic surgeon on Monday. So we’ll see. However I believe it’s a ligament that I tore. So we’ll discover out.
Tony Robinson:
Simply one other day within the lifetime of Ashley Kehr, you by no means know what you’re going to get. At some point it’s bull driving in New Orleans, the following day it’s ping ponging off the timber in Denver, you by no means know, nevertheless it’s a enjoyable story. I’m glad I get a primary row seat for all of these things although
Ashley Kehr:
And there’s so many different issues which have it on this journey. There was a windstorm in Buffalo so the flight was delayed, so I needed to keep in a single day in Buffalo as a result of there was no sense of going house. Then on my manner house, there was a windstorm in Denver, so I’d to finish up spending the evening in Detroit as a result of I missed my connection. So it was attention-grabbing. Properly, it’s my first time ever on crutches after which having to journey being on crutches is certainly attention-grabbing.
Tony Robinson:
However there are some good issues that occurred when you’re in Denver as effectively. I hear one thing about some business properties, one thing’s taking place. Give us the replace.
Ashley Kehr:
Yeah. So whereas I used to be in Denver, I used to be truly there with my enterprise associate and we had been assembly with Tyler Madden and his spouse, Zosia. Tyler’s been on the podcast earlier than, and also you guys might in all probability have seen him on social media should you’re on Instagram @tylermadden, however we simply had a brainstorming mastermind a complete day, Sunday. That was superior. After which on Monday, we went to an actual property meetup, but in addition on Monday, my enterprise associate and I acquired our supply accepted on a 700-acre campground. So we’re past enthusiastic about this, and now the work begins.
Tony Robinson:
I wouldn’t even know the place to start out on 700 acres. That’s so intimidating to me to consider that a lot land. So I’m all of the extra, I believe, impressed along with your braveness on taking down one thing that huge. It’s wonderful.
Ashley Kehr:
Yeah, it’s. I used to be truly stunned how many individuals already doubt me. I’ve an agent that I’ve labored with on another smaller offers and stuff and he or she even mentioned to me, “Oh my gosh, are you certain about that?” And even after I had my test written for the down fee, the financial institution that I used to be utilizing to get the take a look at of, I’ve a great relationship with that particular person they usually had been like, “Are you actually certain about this? This can be a huge endeavor.” And I simply haven’t had individuals doubt me like that for some time. So it’s going to be a great problem.
Tony Robinson:
There you go. Hey, I’m not doubting you in any respect, I acquired nothing however religion and confidence in you. And it’s good when individuals problem you in that manner. I’ll always remember, only a fast facet story. After we purchased our first property in Joshua Tree, I informed that agent, I mentioned, “Hey, my objective is to purchase one property each quarter.” And he checked out me and he laughed, and he was like, “Man, you’re fairly bold.” We ended up shopping for them one virtually each month. We purchased 12 within the final 12 months.
Ashley Kehr:
It drives you.
Tony Robinson:
Proper.
Ashley Kehr:
It offers you that little bit. Yeah.
Tony Robinson:
Yeah. Properly, that’s superior, Ashley. I’m excited for you.
Ashley Kehr:
Yeah. So what’s new with you?
Tony Robinson:
Truly actually thrilling. We bought our first turnkey Airbnb flip about three weeks in the past now, actually excited to start out build up this a part of our enterprise. We now have second turnkey flip, we simply listed about three days in the past now. And should you guys need to see the flips, you guys observe me on Instagram @tonyjrobinson, I normally publish all of them there.
Ashley Kehr:
Truly, the higher place to observe is his spouse, Sarah, as a result of her Instagram footage and her reels are wonderful.
Tony Robinson:
That’s true. That’s true. She’s acquired this recurring, like cropped picture of us. So she similar to plops on each home we purchase. She’s @saraaraad, S-A-R-A-A, anyway, observe me on Instagram, you’ll discover her profile fairly simply. However that’s been actually cool to see as a result of we’ve achieved renovations up to now, however we’ve by no means truly flipped earlier than. It’s similar to a special cooler factor for us to do, so we acquired the flips occurring. And I spent a whole lot of time up to now couple of weeks simply attempting to get my targets in place for 2022. So we’ve acquired our single household stuff nailed down, placing my workforce collectively for our business enterprise as effectively. So issues are transferring, thrilling issues.
Ashley Kehr:
Yeah. Since you acquired to hang around with Brandon Turner just a little bit in Vegas and in addition Tyler Madden, who I used to be simply with, you had been with him, making your targets, every thing concerning the day earlier than I noticed him. So we had a joke the entire weekend that Tyler had been hanging out with Tony and Brandon, the 2 best podcasters so ever to going to slumming it with the okayest podcast so it was more durable. Very humorous.
Ashley Kehr:
Okay. We’re going to deliver on at present’s visitor, Daniel. Daniel is a physician and he’s going to speak to you guys about private finance, turnkey properties, taking by yourself BRRRR and what mindset shift appears like, beginning to take properties by yourself and transferring away from that turnkey mannequin. So let’s get to the present.
Tony Robinson:
Daniel, welcome to the Actual Property Rookie, brother. Tremendous joyful to have you ever with us, man.
Daniel Shin:
Yeah. Thanks for having me. I’m actually excited to be with you guys at present.
Tony Robinson:
Yeah. And for these of you that aren’t watching this on YouTube, Daniel’s acquired like a extremely cool artwork historical past assortment occurring within the background. So placing mine and Ashley’s background to disgrace, however for a change, Ashley is just not in her closet at present, she’s in her front room. So she’s acquired like a fairly first rate background there. However Daniel, we’re not right here to speak about-
Ashley Kehr:
Are you saying that is higher than my closet, as a result of normally it’s not first rate?
Tony Robinson:
I’ll allow you to learn between the strains as you select. However Daniel, we’re not right here to speak about your artwork historical past assortment, we’re right here to speak about actual property, brother. So why don’t you give us the listeners little background who you’re, how you bought began in actual property?
Daniel Shin:
Yeah, completely. Once more, my identify is Daniel Shin. I’m a surgeon, I’m an actual property investor and I’m a blogger and educator at Darwinian Physician, kind of my alter ego. And mainly a number of years in the past, I went by means of this awakening that I needed to turn out to be financially unbiased. And though lots of people assume that it’s simple as a excessive revenue skilled, it’s truly not, it’s important to make a whole lot of intentional steps. And that led me down the trail of private finance after which to actual property now. And over the previous few years, I’ve grown a portfolio about 28 items.
Daniel Shin:
And I say about as a result of I hope that it’s going to be 27 subsequent week as a result of I’m promoting off an issue property.
Tony Robinson:
Yeah. I had a special remark, however you mentioned you’re promoting off an issue property, which jogs my memory, I nonetheless have a property for promoting in Shreveport, Louisiana. We’ve diminished the worth, I believe two occasions in final week. We’re truthfully now at this level, truly we’re going to promote it at loss. We owe like 130 on it, now we have it listed proper now for 129. So we’re actually simply attempting to eliminate it at this level. Anyway, sorry. Introduced up unhealthy reminiscences for me, Daniel, however I needed to return to one thing that you just mentioned. You mentioned that lots of people assume that since you’re a surgeon that it’s simpler to realize monetary freedom, however you mentioned a whole lot of occasions it’s not.
Tony Robinson:
And I believe lots of people would hear that they usually query why you’ll say that as a result of when individuals see huge incomes, they mechanically assume that there’s a very easy path to monetary freedom. So let’s break that down just a little bit.
Daniel Shin:
Yeah, completely. And I believe that’s one of the crucial frequent questions or criticisms I get on social media after I discuss cash and everybody says, “You make a excessive revenue, you don’t have any proper to speak. You’re set.” And it’s completely true {that a} excessive revenue makes it simpler to do a whole lot of these items, however you’ll be able to solely use the cash that you just truly save. And I believe that’s one of many issues that individuals don’t understand, regardless of how a lot cash you make, you’ll be able to spend above and past that. And should you’re not making these intentional selections to place your self on that good monetary path, you’re not going to have the ability to construct wealth regardless of how a lot cash you make.
Ashley Kehr:
Daniel, should you needed to begin over again, was there one thing totally different you’ll’ve achieved to start with, possibly even the start of your profession or while you had been going to high school to set your self up. So possibly if any individual’s listening that’s going to med faculty proper now or is a physician, what could be your recommendation to them about getting began in actual property?
Daniel Shin:
I believe that’s an ideal query. I believe for me, I don’t know if I might essentially change something. Once I was younger, I had a really idyllic early childhood. We had been rising up in suburban New Jersey, my dad labored in New York. And I believe he was doing business actual property truly. After which on the finish of the ’80s, I’m courting myself, however on the finish of the ’80s, there was a recession and my dad’s complete job went to crap. And swiftly we went from this good idyllic, suburban life and issues modified in a single day. We misplaced our home to foreclosures, we needed to transfer.
Daniel Shin:
Actually load over every thing up right into a transferring van one weekend, we moved throughout city to a rental. And there have been some actually robust years the place my mother struggled to even put meals on the desk for dinner. Issues had been actually robust. So considered one of my targets in early childhood was to get a job in a while that might be effectively paying with good monetary stability so my family and my very own youngsters wouldn’t need to spare expertise that. And for me, I additionally needed to assist individuals and I understood what medical doctors did. So my objective early on was to turn out to be a doctor. And to try this, I needed to do the entire thing, like get good grades, go to good school, get into med faculty.
Daniel Shin:
And one after one other, I used to be in a position to do all that. After which as soon as issues lastly acquired rolling, I acquired by means of six years of surgical coaching after which I began making that attending wage, in a whole lot of methods felt like I had lastly achieved it, however then a few years into my follow, I used to be overworked, I used to be driving 10 hours every week with my commute right here in Los Angeles, and I used to be feeling burnt out, however I used to be additionally feeling trapped as a result of I had made that mistake the place you broaden your way of life to your paycheck. So we had purchased the Dr. Home, I used to be driving an costly automotive, and I used to be actually hoping that I might pull again in my follow just a little bit, however I couldn’t, I felt these golden handcuffs.
Daniel Shin:
And for me, that’s after I was like, “Okay, so what do I’ve to do to place myself on a path in the direction of freedom?” And for me that was private finance and entering into actual property. However by that time, I had the revenue to try this and make these adjustments. And so I don’t know if I might essentially change something after I assume again.
Ashley Kehr:
Daniel, while you did resolve that you just needed to get extra into studying about private finance and actual property investing, what was the primary motion step you took in the direction of getting your first property?
Daniel Shin:
Mainly it got here from a whole lot of immersion into the world of private finance and actual property investing. So I began listening to BiggerPockets. I had a lot time within the automotive the place I needed to poke my eyes out due to the site visitors, and as an alternative, if I placed on a podcast from BiggerPockets, I began fascinated about and visualizing a life that was totally different. It was like a gateway drug. So I’d be capable of take heed to podcasts and begin formulating a plan. So earlier than that time, I used to be principally into shares. My plan to get to monetary independence was to take a position into shares, do this for like 15 or 20 years after which have an enormous pot of cash.
Daniel Shin:
However what I spotted is which you could get there quite a bit quicker by means of the money circulate of actual property investing. So I truly bought $100,000 of shares. I had a number of shares that had achieved very well, fortunately, it was all blind luck, however I had some Amazon, Apple, and many others. And I simply bought it as a result of I knew that I might incur a capital good points tax, however that’s what I wanted. As a result of if I had this pot of cash burning a gap in my pocket, I knew that would offer me the motivation to start out down the true property investing path
Tony Robinson:
Daniel, you made a degree that I need to return to about way of life clip, that you just put in all of the exhausting work, you went to med faculty, did every thing you wanted to do. You lastly acquired the wage, the monetary safety that you just had been on the lookout for, however you then allowed your different bills to fulfill that new revenue that you just had. And I believe that’s human nature. I believe that that’s what everybody struggles with as their revenue begins to develop. However it simply makes me consider this, I suppose, these two competing path to monetary freedom. Should you take heed to Dave Ramsey, Dave Ramsey’s all about controlling your bills and consuming beans and rice and promoting the automotive and never doing this and never doing that.
Tony Robinson:
After which should you have a look at somebody like Grant Cardone. Grant Cardone’s like, “I’m going to purchase as a lot espresso as I would like, however I’m going to give attention to promoting tons of of tens of millions of {dollars}’ value of actual property.” So there’s this faculty of thought that’s centered on residing manner, manner, manner under your means, virtually to the purpose that it’s insufferable. Then you’ve gotten this different finish of the spectrum that’s all about simply centered on the revenue, the bills will care for themselves. However what I’ve discovered is that you just in all probability want just a little little bit of each. You should be conservative along with your bills and discover a joyful medium of nonetheless having fun with life, however nonetheless pondering of your future, however then simply as aggressively specializing in exploding your revenue, as a result of I observed my actual property life modified after I was in a position to mix these two issues collectively.
Tony Robinson:
So I’m simply making a remark right here, however I’m simply curious, Ash, possibly you can begin first, what are your ideas on discovering the stability between these two issues?
Ashley Kehr:
Yeah. Once I truly was a Dave Ramsey’s follower, I needed to repay my debt, however I had already began actual property investing. So for me I used to be taking all my money circulate to repay my debt. So I used to be nonetheless investing as a result of I used to be doing the BRRRR technique the place I wasn’t utilizing any of my very own cash after which simply utilizing that to repay my debt. And now I simply have mortgages, however no private debt, not automobiles or something like that, however I’m taking a look at it a special manner even now. I simply thought, “I don’t need to any private debt. I need to personal my vehicles free and clear.”
Ashley Kehr:
However you then additionally hear individuals discuss, “Properly, a automotive mortgage is barely 3% curiosity. Why wouldn’t you’re taking that cash as an alternative of paying money for a automotive and go and put it right into a property and have that money circulate pay to your automotive?” So it truly is a mixture of mindset and the way would do the numbers work out? As a result of for me to maintain a mortgage on my major residence, that’s tremendous low cost cash to me as a result of that’s the bottom mortgage I’m going to get as I’m on private residence, nevertheless it’s additionally a mindset factor for me, I need to personal my very own free and clear. So I believe it’s actually similar to a mixture of each and what helps you sleep at evening too.
Daniel Shin:
Yeah, I completely agree. I believe it’s a mixture and I believe that a whole lot of it all depends the place you’re in your monetary journey, as a result of should you’re having a tough time making ends meet, you’re drowning in bank card debt, I completely assume that Dave Ramsey will in all probability aid you since you acquired to buckle down. You bought to promote that automotive that’s sucking away your paycheck, you bought to make some adjustments. However should you’re possibly just a little bit alongside your monetary journey the place you’ve gotten a bit extra means, and also you’re fascinated about, “The place do I spend this further that I’ve as a niche between my revenue and my bills,” I believe that it’s actually related to start out fascinated about the price of your cash when it comes to rising belongings versus paying down debt.
Daniel Shin:
I believe that is particularly related for individuals who do a whole lot of skilled faculty and find yourself with tons of of 1000’s of pupil debt. Once I graduated residency, I actually had $300,000 of pupil debt. After which I might have spent the following 5 years aggressively paying that down, however as an alternative, after a few years after I went by means of all of my monetary awakening, I used to be like, “Look, I’m going to start out investing that, I could make a a lot greater return investing that extra cash that I’ve as an alternative of paying down this debt that I had at like 3% rate of interest.” So I do know that a whole lot of private finance writers and thinkers are all about eliminating debt, however I believe that it’s actually essential to consider the 5 or 10 yr horizon.
Daniel Shin:
You’re going to finish up with much more cash should you make investments that neatly, in my view. You’ll in all probability have extra danger alongside the best way, however should you can stand that danger and it’s not going to be a psychological burden to you, I believe you’re significantly better off investing.
Tony Robinson:
Daniel, thanks for opening up that may of worms. And clearly, this isn’t the BiggerPockets Cash Podcast. You guys can go hang around with Scott and Mindy once they drop these episodes, however Ash and I we discuss this on a regular basis that your private monetary place performs an enormous and essential position in your potential to turn out to be a profitable actual property investor. So I do know there are lots of people on the market proper now that possibly hear Daniel’s story and say, “Properly, I’m not a physician. I can’t get began in actual property investing.” And if that’s what you’re pondering, you’re lacking the purpose.
Tony Robinson:
The purpose is wherever you’re at give attention to controlling your bills, give attention to rising your revenue, and you’ll observe a whole lot of what Daniel mentioned right here. I need to discuss a bit about your portfolio. Did you’ve gotten one thing to say, Ash?
Ashley Kehr:
Yeah. I used to be simply going to say, it’s not about how a lot cash you’ve gotten. It’s about the way you handle the cash that you just do have. So even in case you have a low paying job, residing under your means, is what’s essential and saving that further little bit of money that may aid you get in the direction of your first deal.
Tony Robinson:
Possibly we have to have a facet hustle episode the place we simply deliver individuals on and discuss concerning the totally different facet hustles they’ve had to assist fund by means of actual property profession. That is likely to be cool.
Ashley Kehr:
Yeah. That’s an ideal concept.
Tony Robinson:
Properly, Daniel, let’s discuss your portfolio. You talked about the highest of the present, however simply give us like a 30,000 foot view of the place your portfolio is at present, after which you’ll be able to take us on the journey of how you bought began.
Daniel Shin:
Certain. My actual property portfolio at the moment is 90% long-term rental. I began out with a few turnkey, single-family houses, scattered within the Midwest and Southwest. After which I truly centered extra lively, actual property investing in Indianapolis, and I bought during the last three years 4 duplexes and two small residence buildings. One of many residence buildings is seven items, the opposite residence constructing was eight items, and I’m attempting to make it a ten unit, nevertheless it’s combating me. And I simply purchased a short-term rental in Palm Springs that I’m furiously renovating now. And we simply acquired the granite poured for the pool within the again. In order that was an enormous milestone.
Ashley Kehr:
Daniel, congratulations. That’s an superior portfolio and I can’t wait to be invited out to Palm Springs when that home is completed.
Daniel Shin:
It’s complete, hopefully going to be actually superior.
Ashley Kehr:
Yeah. Cool. Let’s begin from the very starting. You began out with turnkey, so please inform everybody what a turnkey funding is. After which let’s discuss the way you even discovered that you just needed to put money into the Midwest in these markets.
Daniel Shin:
Completely. A turnkey rental is, I believe it’s a pleasant gateway in to actual property investing, particularly in case you have a whole lot of worry and anxiousness concerning the course of as a result of a turnkey firm will primarily take a whole lot of the guesswork out of it for you. They may discover a distressed property, their workforce will renovate it and work out what’s fallacious with the property. After which they’ll promote it to an investor at a retail worth, however they’ll care for typically discovering a tenant and doing the property administration they usually’re promoting you a complete package deal.
Daniel Shin:
Once I was fascinated about entering into actual property investing, I didn’t know a lot about it to start out and I needed that hands-holding expertise. So I centered on a few areas the place I felt that the cashflow could be higher, so the Midwest and the Southeast. And so my first property was truly in Birmingham, which is I believe a well known cashflow market. And an organization down there mainly bought me already a renovated home for $92,000. And this property, I believe is a black sheep of my portfolio and I’m truly hopefully promoting it on Monday, nevertheless it was the gateway that acquired me began. So I’ve a love-hate relationship with it.
Daniel Shin:
It was my first deal, my worst deal, nevertheless it acquired the ball rolling. And now, I believe I’m going to primarily internet little or no on the property due to septic tank points, which I’ll discuss later, should you guys need me to, nevertheless it was what acquired the ball rolling.
Tony Robinson:
Can I ask one observe up query? I suppose first, what’s the advantage of the turnkey mannequin for somebody like your self? After which the observe query to that’s, how did you discover a turnkey operator that you just trusted sufficient to take a position with?
Daniel Shin:
Yeah, nice questions. Mainly I believe the profit is that it takes a whole lot of the chance out of the renovation facet. So since that have, I’ve extra centered on the BRRRR technique, however should you’re shopping for a turnkey product, they’ve already achieved the renovation for you. So if somebody goes to search out out that its knob and tube wiring within the partitions, or if the sewer line’s all tousled, it’s going to be the turnkey firm. After which by the point they’re promoting this property to you, they’ve figured every thing out, they know the way a lot it prices they usually’re going to promote it to you at a worth that makes them cash and in addition will get you hopefully a fairly good return.
Daniel Shin:
I believe what I discovered in my expertise at turnkey, you’re in all probability going to get a couple of 5 to 10% return, nearer in all probability to the 5 to eight% nowadays than the ten%. So that’s, I believe, the good thing about it, it’s a dependable return. It’s not nice, however you’ll be able to be taught concerning the course of in a manner that’s very secure. That being mentioned, if you are able to do issues neatly on the extra lively facet of investing and also you’re doing issues the place you’re renovating your self and pulling cash out by way of refinance, you will get a lot greater returns, infinite return, 50% return. And that’s one thing that I’ve seen in my very own portfolio.
Tony Robinson:
When you determined that, “Okay, turnkey is the best way for me to get began,” how did you discover the appropriate operator to take a position with initially?
Daniel Shin:
I’m sorry, you’ve requested that 3 times and I carry on ignoring you.
Tony Robinson:
No, no, it’s all proper.
Daniel Shin:
I simply carry on forgetting. However mainly, it was by means of BiggerPockets. Within the BiggerPockets boards, I began taking a look at what had been written about turnkey operators, and I contacted individuals who had purchased properties from them and I requested them, “How did issues go?” And I might say that nothing replaces truly going and assembly the operators. I make up that one of many explanation why this property didn’t do as effectively is that I didn’t fly down and meet the turnkey firm. I did that for the second turnkey firm that I used. I truly went and noticed their operations and shook their hand and I used to be like, “These guys are nice.”
Daniel Shin:
And that property has achieved significantly better in Little Rock, however primarily, I talked to individuals, I requested round, I regarded up individuals’s experiences and for opinions, and I referred to as them and talked to them. And I believe they’ve a great operation issues, simply didn’t go my manner ultimately three years down the highway.
Ashley Kehr:
Yeah. If anyone needs to be taught extra about turnkey, I’ll throw in there that we did episode 29 with Whitney Hutton on turnkey properties too, should you guys need to test that out. However Daniel, how a lot was your airplane ticket? How a lot did you spend to go and take a look at and meet this turnkey property? This can be a massive funding that persons are making, buying a property. And the way is that worth? How is that a chance price so that you can pay to go and fly out and meet these individuals?
Daniel Shin:
I believe it’s undoubtedly related query. I needed to take off a pair days from work, so I wasn’t creating wealth in my job. Truly I believe I acquired a paid trip day or one thing like that, however I had to purchase the airplane, get out to Little Rock and I suffered the worst allergy assault of my life, mainly flying out. The bottom of those guys’ operation was truly in Memphis. So I flew on the market and as quickly as I sat within the airplane in Los Angeles, the air from Memphis gave me the worst allergy assault of my life. I began sneezing and primarily didn’t cease all the manner.
Daniel Shin:
After which I needed to drug myself midway to loss of life. So I used to be in a position to discuss to individuals and work together with individuals in Memphis. I don’t know if I might truly ever go to Memphis once more. However it was actually beneficial as a result of the airplane ticket, I believe it was about 500 bucks spherical journey. I acquired an Airbnb, however for me, I had already mentally allotted that cash. This was schooling for me. I used to be getting within the sport and I had already money out these shares, So I wanted to determine learn how to spend that cash properly. And for me, I needed to truly study it firsthand.
Ashley Kehr:
I believe that’s one thing individuals neglect about is these little tiny prices which might be truly add a lot worth and prevent a lot cash in the long term. And I do know out of state investing, the concept is to not need to go to the property and issues like that, but when that is your first time, don’t be afraid to spend that extra cash to go and meet individuals firsthand, to go take a look at the property and make your self really feel extra comfy and assured. After which you’ll be able to go forward and buy property web site unseen and by no means truly ever see them in particular person, but when it makes you’re feeling extra comfy and you actually need to know who you’re going to be interacting with, what the property appears like, then spend that cash to go and have a look at a property.
Ashley Kehr:
I simply checked out a property a pair months in the past the place we paid the upkeep man on the property like 100 bucks to take us by means of and excursions the property and inform us a lot info. And yeah, that was $100 for a property we didn’t even know if we had been going to get underneath contract, however we realized a lot and had been in a position to underwrite the deal so significantly better as a result of we took the time to pay this man. And that’s the identical with an inspection, that is a chance price so that you’re studying as a lot as you’ll be able to concerning the property and never find yourself, “Oh, there’s $20,000 I now need to spend after closing.”
Ashley Kehr:
So add these into your quantity too. Whenever you’re analyzing a deal, put in your journey, put in what the Airbnb goes to price you in order that you understand what your complete bills are going into this property. And also you truly get a greater worth, a greater return on how a lot you’re placing into the property of including these prices into it.
Tony Robinson:
Ashley, I used to be simply going to say you make a extremely good level as a result of there’s so many individuals that ask, “How do I get this agent to take me critically?” Or, “How do I as a brand new investor, get this normal contractor to take me critically?” Or, “How do I get this wholesaler to take me critically?” I’ve a pal who was investing, he lived in California the place I’m at. He needed to put money into Huntsville, Alabama, was having a tough time with deal circulate. Couldn’t discover something on the MLS, was getting ghosted by a whole lot of wholesalers. So he lastly acquired in touch with one and he mentioned, “Hey, what do I have to do to get in your record, to truly be one of many individuals that you just ship offers to?”
Tony Robinson:
And the wholesale was like, “Come out right here and see me.” And he booked the following flight out to Huntsville, Alabama, spent the entire day with him. They ended up shopping for like 9 or 10 homes from this one wholesaler. So if you wish to stand out as a brand new investor, present that you just’re severe, present that you just’re not simply going to waste their time, hop on a flag, get on the market, shake their fingers and meet in-person. I like that recommendation, Ashley, actually good level.
Daniel Shin:
Oh, yeah. I believe that could be a huge stumbling block early on as a result of primarily while you’re beginning out a facet hustle or a brand new enterprise, I believe it’s actually tempting to attempt to do every thing on a shoestring and never spend any cash. But when you consider it, individuals spend cash on schooling as a result of it’s value it. And ultimately you understand that’s going to yield you much more return. So for me, I mentally put apart some amount of cash and I chalk it as much as schooling. Once I take an actual property investing course or after I fly someplace and do hands-on analysis for me, that’s a part of an investing into the enterprise that I do know in the long term goes to internet me much more return.
Tony Robinson:
Yeah. Yet another remark for me on the turnkey facet, Daniel, as a result of I like that you just’re speaking concerning the academic part, as a result of I believe should you get with somebody that’s skilled with the appropriate operator, they could be a supply of schooling, of confidence constructing for you. I don’t know if I ought to share this broadly as a result of I really feel like individuals may steal this concept, however we’re toying with the concept of doing this within the short-term rental house. There aren’t, I believe a whole lot of, or actually any that I’ve discovered to this point that do that for short-term leases.
Tony Robinson:
So we began flipping homes in among the markets we’re on this previous summer season and we’re not simply flipping them and making them good, however we’re flipping them, absolutely furnishing them, supplying you with actually cool Airbnb experiences, in order that manner whoever we buy that home just about on day one can take that property dwell and never have to fret about, “Oh man, how do I rehab? How do I design? How do I get it prepared for company?” So I believe that there’s an enormous alternative there to assist individuals break into a few of these areas with actually low danger. Clearly, the returns received’t be pretty much as good as the individual that discovered the deal and did all of the work, however you’re getting in with quite a bit much less friction than what it might sometimes take somebody,
Ashley Kehr:
My enterprise associate, Daryl, is right here and he’s actively writing down your concept proper now and about to launch it.
Daniel Shin:
I believe that’s going to do nice, Tony. Being on the renovating facet of a reasonably large rehab proper now in Palm Springs, this factor has been torturing us. And I believe it’s going to be value it ultimately as a result of the market is simply going bonkers on the market, however there are these hours necessities that it’s essential do to get materials participation in these items. Initially when my spouse and I first purchased the property, we had been like, “Oh, we acquired to verify to get these hours.” God, that isn’t an issue. We’ve been on the market a lot, this factor has been such a time suck, nevertheless it’s a labor of affection at this level.
Ashley Kehr:
Daniel, how did you get comfy with making that change from turnkey to your able to tackle a property by yourself? What did that seem like for you?
Daniel Shin:
Mainly I needed extra of the motion after I ran the quantity. I used to be like, “This return is fairly good.” However you then examine infinite returns from a great BRRRR property the place you’re shopping for, renovating, renting, refinancing the property your self, and I needed that and I knew that to essentially entry that I must do it myself. And I needed my cash to go additional as a result of while you’re even shopping for a turnkey property on the worth factors within the Midwest and Southeast the place you should purchase a pleasant house for 100,000 or $120,000, that’s some huge cash. That’s 25 to $30,000 that it’s important to plunk down.
Daniel Shin:
And even while you’re making a extremely good revenue as a doctor or surgeon, you’re going to expire of capital in some unspecified time in the future. So essentially the most environment friendly manner of rising your portfolio in my view is by that BRRRR methodology. And I needed to be extra environment friendly with my cash. So after I was fascinated about the place to try this, by means of BiggerPockets once more, I had a an acquaintance down right here in Southern California who was investing in Indianapolis and we met for lunch in some unspecified time in the future, we had some like Hawaiian pizza and he talked to me about out his workforce in Indianapolis, after which he made an introduction. And I used to be in a position to construct my very own workforce, I flew on the market, I drove round, and I met a realtor.
Daniel Shin:
After which on that very same go to, on the final day, we discovered the primary duplex that I bought there, which continues to be my like crown jewel property, I believe.
Tony Robinson:
I like that you just talked about that you just guys ate Hawaiian pizza. That’s the important thing takeaway from at present’s episode is that if you wish to construct good networks, you bought to interrupt out the Hawaiian pizza. And so I need to get into your psyche just a little bit, Daniel, as a result of it undoubtedly is much more work, however we perceive why you probably did it. However when you made that call, when you discovered that duplex, and possibly we will use this for our Rookie assessment or our Rookie deal assessment, how did you truly go about executing on that imaginative and prescient of shopping for this asset, this distressed asset, getting it renovated, inserting tenants, as a result of I believe that’s the half that lots of people wrestle with is, “Man, I’m midway throughout the nation, how do I on this a part of the globe, renovate, discover tenants, do all this factor on the opposite facet of the globe?” So stroll us by means of what your course of regarded like.
Daniel Shin:
Certain, completely. Mainly, I had in all probability a half dozen conversations with these individuals earlier than I ever flew out to Indianapolis, however mainly I had primarily a GC, a normal contractor who was going to have the ability to handle the renovation that I had talked to and my pal had used him so I knew that he was reliable. And I had an actual property agent who was youthful, hungrier to construct her enterprise. And after I flew on the market, I met with each of them and I mainly communicated… One of many greatest issues that I needed to do in that go to was to speak to each of those those who I used to be severe.
Daniel Shin:
I painted to them the imaginative and prescient of my portfolio in 5 or 10 years, which was going to be, jokingly on my weblog I name it my actual property empire. I would like an empire of actual property property. I painted that image, I mentioned, “Look, I’ve belongings that I’m keen to take a position. That is the place I need to get to. I might love so that you can be part of that.” And I believe that actually helped give us all of the belief to maneuver ahead. After which on the final day, my actual property agent, simply displaying me round, this one property got here on the MLS, it popped up and he or she referred to as me and I used to be on the point of go to the airport, however I simply was like, “Okay, I’m proper by right here.” So I simply drove by it, I checked out it, I couldn’t go in, however I mentioned, “Okay, let’s make a suggestion, let’s get it underneath contract.”
Daniel Shin:
And simply inside an hour of it occurring to the MLS, we had it underneath contract, and issues simply began from there.
Ashley Kehr:
That’s so superior. That’s actually thrilling, particularly being within the metropolis while you wish to make investments and also you get your first property earlier than you even depart.
Daniel Shin:
Yeah. It was actually thrilling. After which mainly, I might go into numbers now or I can discuss extra broadly about it. What do you assume?
Ashley Kehr:
Yeah, let’s go into the numbers of it.
Daniel Shin:
Okay. This was a duplex and it was simply east of downtown Indianapolis and an space that’s quickly up and coming referred to as Arsenal Heights or Holy Cross. And mainly, it was listed for $165,000 and there have been three bedrooms on each side. And the acquisition worth, wanting again at this now, this might by no means occur at present, however we provided $157,000 and we acquired it underneath contract at that worth. Proper now it’s important to supply normally 10% above what the record worth is they usually’re bidding wars, however this was, I suppose, about two and a half years in the past.
Ashley Kehr:
How had been you financing this deal? Had been you utilizing money out of your shares or what did you employ?
Daniel Shin:
I used a mortgage, so I acquired a mortgage on it, however I put a down fee, I consider 25% because it was a duplex. And I used to be utilizing money to finance a down fee, after which I acquired a mortgage for the remainder of it. So with the closing prices, it was about $161,000 complete to purchase the property, together with a mortgage, and it was in fairly good condition. We didn’t need to do a lot of the roof, and among the flooring was tousled. One of many loos was actually bizarre. So we did a fairly thorough renovation truly, the place we gave it a whole facelift, painted every thing. We ran counter tops, we utterly redid one of many loos, each of the kitchens had been primarily utterly upgraded, all new home equipment.
Daniel Shin:
And it regarded actually sharp after we had been achieved with it. And that price about $68,000 or $69,000. And that simply blew my thoughts coming from Los Angeles the place you repair your lavatory and it prices $30,000 to the place you’ll be able to renovate a duplex in Indianapolis for 70,000. That simply blew my thoughts.
Ashley Kehr:
Daniel, while you bought this property, did you get this budgeted out earlier than, or did you resolve to do the rehab after you bought it? After which, the place did you type draw the road? You mentioned you set in granite counter tops and no less than close to me, should you put in granite counter tops in a whole lot of the locations, you’re not going to get that worth again, you’ll be able to’t improve rents excessive sufficient to cowl that sort of price of placing these high-end finishes. How did you make that call of what’s an excessive amount of? What’s over upgrading the property as to the place you’re going to get that candy spot, the place you’ll be able to increase the lease and also you’re getting a pleasant property?
Daniel Shin:
Yeah. Nice query. Mainly I had every thing plugged right into a cash-on-cash return calculator. So utilizing my actual property agent there, she additionally does property administration. So I primarily requested her, “That is what I’m pondering with the property, what do you assume we will get for rents?” So she projected her lease and my contractor there walked to the property and mainly gave us a quote. And he mentioned, “That is what it’s going to price to renovate each items.” And utilizing that info and figuring out how a lot I put into the property, I used to be in a position to generate a projected return. And that was a projected return with out the refinance portion. Simply if I lease innovated it, put within the cash and rented it, what was my return going to be?
Daniel Shin:
And I used to be concentrating on 10% or greater. So my actual property agent thought that if we did the chrome steel home equipment and the granite counter tops, we’d entry just a little bit of upper return as a result of there’s truly a whole lot of younger professionals in that space, as a result of it’s proper close to downtown Indianapolis the place there’s gross sales pressure and all this issues. So there was undoubtedly a marketplace for that. In some locations round Indianapolis, undoubtedly you’re not going to essentially get your a refund should you go that prime finish, however she thought we’d and he or she was proper.
Ashley Kehr:
What does it seem like at present? What are the rents and what’s the property worth at proper now?
Daniel Shin:
Mainly what I used to be in a position to do is about six months after I’ve renovated the property and acquired all of it tenanted, I went for a refinance. And it was appraised for $256,000. So it was fairly good. So mainly, we had been in a position to money out ReFi, virtually the entire cash. And on the finish of the day, I solely had $14,000 left within the deal. So 70% of that new appraisal quantity was given again to me as a test and I used it to repay virtually the entire preliminary funding and the preliminary mortgage. After which while you rely that in opposition to the lease that we had been getting and together with issues like emptiness, property administration, upkeep, property taxes, our return projected was 62%.
Ashley Kehr:
Daniel, that’s nice. What did you say the worth was once more, 260-
Daniel Shin:
$256,000
Ashley Kehr:
Okay. So you’ve gotten $14,000 right into a property that’s valued at 256,000. I believe so many occasions individuals get hung up that you must have all of your a refund out, and that’s the one method to do a BRRRR, however solely having $14,000 right into a home for 256,000, that’s superior. That could be a nice BRRRR. Congratulations.
Daniel Shin:
Thanks. I used to be tremendous pleased with this. And mainly, this was proof of idea to me as a result of I’m a surgeon, I’m a numbers man, so mainly I wanted to have proof of idea to essentially go all in. And I additionally needed my spouse to return on board. So this complete time, this took a couple of yr, and this complete time I used to be doing it by myself, my spouse was taking a look at me with skeptical expressions on a regular basis after I was speaking about what I used to be doing, as a result of she’s additionally a spreadsheet particular person. So mainly after I was in a position to present this and I confirmed her the returns that had been projected to get, she was like, “Okay. All proper. I believe I get it now.” And really she’s been my associate ever since in the true property investing as effectively.
Daniel Shin:
A few issues ended up being just a little bit dearer than projected, the property tax went up just a little greater than we thought and I believe one of many water heaters went out. However constantly during the last two years, we’ve been in a position to get about 50% return from this property, which is inferior to that 62 that we projected, however how will you not be pleased with a 50% return in your cash?
Tony Robinson:
Daniel, what a tremendous first BRRRR for you? And I believe hopefully you’re simply inspiring a whole lot of different those who they’ll do the identical factor from a number of, a number of states away. I suppose my final touch upon the BRRRR, had been there any classes that you just realized all through that course of that you just utilized to the following BRRRR and extra like tactical, we’ll discuss mindset in a minute, however extra like tactical issues, like, “I missed this and we had been doing this scope of labor or I ought to have priced a property at this”? What are some tactical stuff you realized?
Daniel Shin:
I believe the largest take away, this has simply made a dream property, now, one thing’s going to go fallacious with it, knock on wooden. However what I’ve realized from the opposite properties is that you just don’t need to skimp on the inspection half. As I realized in one of many subsequent duplexes that I bought, it was a wholesale deal and I used to be like, “Oh, I’m going to purchase it money, anyway, I don’t want an inspection. My contractor walked it.” I want I’d paid for the inspection and I want I’d scoped the sewer as a result of each of these issues ended up being problematic. There have been issues fallacious with the plumbing that we didn’t foresee, there have been issues fallacious with the sewer line. In order that ended up being an costly lesson. And I might say that was the takeaway, nevertheless it’s extra on the second or third deal.
Tony Robinson:
It’s a extremely, actually nice level, one which I believe a whole lot of rookies want to listen to. On all of our single, actually on any buy we make, we all the time get an inspection as effectively. And if we discover one thing that’s far above and past what we had initially scoped out for our scope of labor, we’re going to ask for some worth discount, and we hope that the sellers are cheap and keen and perceive that these issues that may occur. So not solely does the property inspection aid you, I believe, preemptively take down sure issues or no less than plan for them appropriately, nevertheless it additionally might offer you a worth break on the property to get it at a barely discounted fee.
Tony Robinson:
So Daniel, congratulations, man. What a tremendous first BRRRR, thanks for sharing these classes with us, man. I simply need to maintain rolling with the portfolio actually rapidly after which we’ll discuss mindset, however you mentioned to procure that first property two and a half years in the past. Did I hear that appropriately?
Daniel Shin:
I believe that’s about proper. Yeah. It was about two and a half. Truly, is it three years in the past now?
Tony Robinson:
It’s someplace in that ballpark. Three years in the past, proper?
Daniel Shin:
Someplace in that. I really feel like I’ve been an actual property investor endlessly, nevertheless it’s truly solely been a number of years.
Tony Robinson:
However now you’re within the 20s approaching 30 items, which is totally wonderful, man. There’s a sure stage of momentum that comes together with being an actual property investor that I actually need to be sure that we spotlight as a result of there’s a lot effort and vitality, and braveness, and time, and persistence, and failure that goes into that first deal. However when you get that first deal achieved, you don’t have to start out throughout. You may carry that momentum into the second deal, into the third deal, into the fifth deal, into the twentieth deal, into the thirtieth deal, so an important factor for the rookies which might be listening proper now could be to focus as a lot of your consideration, as a lot of your vitality as you’ll be able to into getting that first deal achieved.
Tony Robinson:
After which hopefully, three and a half years later, three years later, you may be like Daniel and be at 20, virtually 30 doorways, as a result of that’s a tremendous journey, man. So I need to return although, to Daniel three years in the past, earlier than you bought that first deal, earlier than you burned homes midway throughout the nation and knocking it out the park, what had been among the misconceptions that you just had about being an actual property investor? What had been some issues that you just assumed to be true that turned out to be false?
Daniel Shin:
I’d say one which involves thoughts is that actual property and traders are sketchy people who don’t have the curiosity of their tenants in thoughts. Once I make a TikTok video about actual property investing, a whole lot of my feedback are like, “Actual property traders are terrible. You’re parasites to humanity.” And I believe that’s completely, completely BS. I believe that actual property traders, and that is my strategy in life usually, should you correctly incentivize everybody, everybody can win. And I actually consider that. And my property supervisor is identical manner, when one thing’s going fallacious, you’ll be able to repair that as rapidly as attainable for the tenant, you’ll be able to mainly do every thing you’ll be able to to make it an ideal expertise for the tenant. And also you don’t need to be that typical what most people may consider as an actual property investor, which is actually a slum Lord.
Daniel Shin:
That doesn’t need to be you. You can also make a great revenue, you’ll be able to have nice properties and supply superior housing, and you’ll truly assist the financial system in a manner which you could’t do in your W2 job. In a W2 job, you’re working and serving to your organization, however as an actual property investor, you’re using dozens and dozens of individuals. You’re using actual property lenders and brokers, and contractors, electricians, plumbers, and also you’re offering an ideal place and supporting the housing market. In order that I might say is the largest mindset or realization, which you could be an moral, good affect on society as an actual property investor.
Tony Robinson:
Daniel, I’m so glad you talked about that, and I’m additionally glad that you just talked about TikTok as a result of individuals on TikTok are very indignant, and my spouse and I, we get a whole lot of hate on TikTok as effectively. However I believe like with any occupation, there’s good and there’s unhealthy. And also you show that, simply because there are some on the market which might be giving us a foul identify on TikTok, doesn’t essentially imply that that’s the trail it’s important to observe as effectively. So that you may be no matter landlord you need. So should you guys are on TikTok, attempt to discover the positivity there, not a lot the negativity.
Tony Robinson:
Additionally, should you’re on TikTok, observe me and my spouse, we’re @therealestaterobinsons. And should you’re on Instagram, observe me, @tonyjrobinson. Ashley’s @wealthfromrentals. And there’s a number of good individuals on each the social media platforms speaking about all the great that actual property investing is doing.
Ashley Kehr:
I solely have like 100 followers on TikTok, so I don’t get hate feedback but. I don’t get any feedback but.
Tony Robinson:
Give it a while. Give it a while.
Ashley Kehr:
Daniel, what’s your TikTok?
Daniel Shin:
All of my social media and my weblog is thedarwiniandoctor on Instagram, thedarwiniandoctor on TikTok, as in simply, thedarwiniandoctor, all one phrase, and add .com for my weblog. It’s not the simplest identify, however after I was fascinated about what I used to be going to attempt to obtain, I needed to evolve into an actual property investor, I needed to evolve into a private finance wizard, and so I assumed it epitomized my journey.
Ashley Kehr:
Yeah. We’ll be sure you guys take a look at Daniel’s social media. I’m going to take us proper now to the Rookie Request Line. In the present day’s query is from Landon. Should you guys need to name and depart us a voicemail that we are going to play on the present, you’ll be able to name 1-8885-ROOKIE. So right here’s at present’s query.
Landon:
Hello. That is Landon. I’m calling from Anchorage, Alaska. I’ve a fourplex out right here and I’m home hacking as my first property, so I’m simply getting began. I had a query relating to utilizing different individuals’s cash. I’ve heard so many podcast episodes and company discuss concerning the energy of using different individuals’s cash for investing. I lately met a physician and he has one other pal who’s [inaudible 00:47:08]and investing with somebody who is aware of just a little bit about actual property, they usually’re turning to me to ask these questions and to probably associate up sooner or later.
Landon:
And I simply needed to ask, what are some nice methods to construction a partnership and in addition current the partnership in a worthwhile method to these individuals which might be actually simply bringing the cash to the desk? And the way can I add essentially the most worth to them because the traders to, I suppose, each will mutually profit. Thanks.
Daniel Shin:
I believe that’s an ideal query. To start with, I need to congratulate him for doing a home hack as a result of that’s a incredible method to get into actual property investing. And OPM, different individuals’s cash, it’s like individuals, I believe use this as a catch phrase, however primarily, I believe a whole lot of actual property gurus on the market are saying, “Make investments 100% with different individuals’s cash, don’t put any of your cash in.” And I believe that different individuals’s cash doesn’t essentially need to be cash from an individual, it may be cash from a financial institution. So while you’re utilizing a mortgage, you’re additionally utilizing OPM. On this situation, although, you’ve gotten a typical situation, I believe, that’s going to be superior.
Daniel Shin:
It appears like this investor has a bit extra time on his fingers and a bit extra hustle, and he has some companions who’ve funds, however not essentially time. So it’s like a wedding made in heaven. He can mainly search for offers, he can do the legwork to search out them and get them underneath contract and possibly handle renovations, and he might make the most of the money circulate that his companions have. And there’s methods to construction it in order that they make an ideal return, however he additionally is ready to develop his portfolio and profit from that development in a manner that advantages everybody. Once more, mainly incentivizing each side.
Tony Robinson:
One remark for me on the OPM piece is which you could additionally construction this, Landon, as similar to a debt-based partnership. It doesn’t essentially need to be an equity-based partnership. So should you simply say, “Hey, non-public cash particular person, I’m going to pay you 10% curiosity paid out month-to-month, quarterly, yearly,” no matter it’s, that’s one other method to construction the deal, in order that manner they don’t essentially fear about how effectively the asset’s performing since you’re simply contractually obligated to pay them a selected return. So there’s no proper or fallacious reply on structuring the partnership, Landon. Hopefully that works for you.
Tony Robinson:
Daniel, you’ve been knocking out the park, brother. We actually recognize every thing that you just’ve dropped at the desk right here to this point. As we wrap it up, I simply need to give a fast shout out to considered one of our Rookie Rockstars.

And Bethany mentioned that she’s excited to get a pleasant huge test from their first flip at present, that she’s amazed on the energy of actual property, they usually couldn’t have achieved it with out the group, the BiggerPockets group.
Tony Robinson:
However they purchased it for $100,000, the rehab solely took six weeks. They had been in a position to promote it for $165,000. They usually had a number of prices, holding prices, issues like that, however they ended up profiting a complete of $39,410. That’s lots of people’s salaries. So to have the ability to make that on one transaction in six weeks is wonderful. So Bethany, huge congratulations to you.
Ashley Kehr:
