The speaker advocates for acquiring affordable housing properties with value-add potential, allowing for refinancing to extract capital and acquiring the property for free using a commercial-level BRRRR strategy. They believe such properties will not depreciate in rent or value due to their already low cost.
"I'm looking for affordable housing so just uh so this is 12 16 units at 1.2 million so you're talking about what's that 75k unit so you're way below average with a value add and then you can refi which just means up the value the bank will say it's worth more money and you can get all your money out so you're getting really affordable housing at good rents and then you're basically doing a burr but at a commercial level so you're getting a free 16-unit apartment complex that's probably not going to drop in rent rate or in value because it's already cheap."

The speaker prioritizes acquiring properties at a cheaper price with better quality renovations, believing this strategy leads to fewer vacancies, sustained cash flow, and attracts longer-term tenants, ultimately increasing profitability due to reduced turnover costs. They estimate a $10k-$15k renovation cost per unit, which can increase rent from $700 to $900-$1000.
"I always want to be on the more affordable side and you know if you purchase this place it doesn't matter what brand thinks but I'm more about going on the better quality cheaper price because you will never have a vacancy or not you don't have to max like squeeze every dollar out of the deal so should there ever be a recession or whatever you've got room to sell it you've got room to increase rents you're always going to cash flow with it and so stainless steel is in new kitchens and a floor plan like this would cost what 15 maybe less yeah it's not going to be a lot yeah 10 to 15 000 labor's still decently cheap in this area it's just going to take time to get renovated so you put 15 000 in the 75 000 unit you go from 700 bucks a month in rent to 900 to 1000 ish your tenants are still happy they're not furious at the price but the quality is so much nicer and what I've discovered the hard way is better quality units at a higher price attract much longer term tenants and the longer term your tenants are the more money you're going to make because turnovers suck."

The speaker suggests converting apartment complexes into student housing, potentially generating $1500-$1600 per student per month, significantly higher than traditional rents ($500-$600 per student). They believe student housing ensures consistent tenancy due to its on-campus appeal.
"The current owner of this apartment complex hates the idea of doing um student housing which to me would make all the sense in the world you rent a place like this for let's say five or six hundred dollars per student right you're not at seven hundred dollars anymore you're at fifteen to sixteen hundred dollars granted you have to carry the utilities plus if it's anything like me or I would school then you just always have tenants because yeah you wanna live on campus their friends take it next they don't super care about the conditions."

Despite small bedrooms, the property's lower price, good neighborhood amenities (new high school, proximity to expensive subdivisions and university), and potential for higher per-room rent make it attractive.
"So the bedrooms are just around they're probably like eight by tens yeah 80 square foot maybe 100 square foot yeah so they're not gigantic bedrooms but the thing is you're the lower price very good neighborhood yeah I can't stress that enough because the new high school was just built right over there um you've got a lot of older retirees on this road your the two most expensive subdivisions in town are two blocks north and then half a mile north and you know the university right so you can probably get away with doing a higher rents yeah per the room quote unquote yeah."

The speaker plans to negotiate a price reduction or a credit for repairs, aiming to upgrade units and increase the capitalization rate (cap rate) for greater profitability.
"I figure I can ask for 50k yeah and a price reduction I always do this I don't actually care about price reductions because I'm leveraging the money okay I wonder if he would do a credit for repairs oh which is basically a price reduction right but yeah give me instead of giving me 1.1 give me 100 for repairs and then you can do six of these kitchens right off the bat and with a place like this you can kill to keep the rent slow but you can increase your cap rate enough to make it really worth your while right."

In a 'B' neighborhood, the speaker identifies multiple rental strategies including Section 8, higher-quality rentals, or keeping the property as-is. They highlight the potential benefits and challenges of Section 8, emphasizing the importance of screening tenants and building relationships with caseworkers.
"So in a solid b neighborhood you could do pretty much whatever you want you could do section 8 you could do just nicer quality rentals you could keep it as is yeah because as is I mean you probably you probably wouldn't have to do repairs for section 8 yeah you could just fill it up with section 8. but that comes with a lot of you know downsides it can it depends on how you know how to screen tennis it doesn't the big thing that I have found out is if you can become good friends with your local caseworkers at section eight they can kind of they can't give you advice on their the the section eight tenants but they can say hey I would go talk to the neighbor on this person I had one tenant uh section eight person say hey can't tell you anything about this person but I want you go or you should do some interviews with the neighbors and we found that the guy that was had a section 8 voucher he was robbing the elderly neighbors for their pills like we said inside the rental."

The speaker emphasizes that 'everything is for sale' if the right approach is taken, encouraging direct outreach to owners via door-knocking or social media. They believe even a 1% success rate in finding motivated sellers can be highly profitable.
"So um over here we've got two institutionally owned apartment complexes and they are almost identical to the one that we looked at um it's like everything everything's for sale if you talk to the right person that's why we're doing the real estate course and doing a lot of education and training online because it's like the average person I don't think knows that we could knock on these people doors or we find them on facebook it's like facebook stock these people and ask them do you have any interest in selling your house and even if your success rate's one percent and you make a hundred thousand dollars on the deal it's still worth it."

The speaker is exploring a financing option where a bank would provide a loan for $1 million down, including rehab costs, for a portfolio. They suggest the seller could hold $1 million while they provide $2 million upfront, with the intention of refinancing later. The seller has shown no interest in delaying payments for repairs.
"I've got a bank that I think would give it to us for a million down including the rehab okay and so if he could basically hold that million for us we could give him two million immediately and then when we refi we could even give I think he could do that because I've asked him about that he said I don't understand it at all and I said so you're not willing to you know delay a little bit of the payment while somebody else comes in and fixes it up and he's like I don't have any interest in that."
