A 5 - Year Game Plan To Mortgage Freedom For Millennials - AJ Scott & Nicole Kichko13 Jun 202501:05:18

A 5 - Year Game Plan To Mortgage Freedom For Millennials - AJ Scott & Nicole Kichko

 

On this episode I welcome relatively new investors AJ and Nicole, who are young but are already on the right path to financial and mortgage freedom, and on the way to a very early retirement. They started investing only 5 years ago, already own 3 properties and are here to share their incredible story and journey so far! The strategy they’ve used so far is house hacking, where you purchase a home but either renovate to add additional rental units, or purchase an already renovated duplex, so that it actually MAKES you money the moment you move in. Your expenses drop dramatically while your tenant pays down your mortgage for you! Have they made mistakes? Yes, but willing to share to help others avoid some of them. We talked about how they saved for their down payment; what are their monthly costs, and it’s incredibly low; managing risk; mindset; and MORE! And a tip of the week from Gary!

 

If you are someone who thinks it will be hard to purchase a home, this is the episode for you. House hacking is a strategy that allows you to find a home and help it pay for itself.

Bio

 

Ryan Carr is a full-time real estate investor from the Durham Region who specializes in helping homeowners get out of tough situations. His company, R.W. Carr Investments, has completed dozens of transactions with people across the GTA where debt, timing, maintenance, and repairs, or family nuances are a critical component to the deal.

 

Additional information about Ryan:

 

As a prior auto mechanic and custom metal fabricator, his involvement with real estate began in 2012 with a rural bank-sale property, quickly followed by the first "fixer-upper" bungalow. Previous to the vertical split technique (A clever method of adding 2nd units to existing homes), this bungalow was converted to a legal basement apartment. The progression from these initial properties, and subsequent resale lead to fantastic experiences which propelled the concept of "vertical split" homes into the marketplace. As home values began to rise with the Durham Region, the cash flow crunch became the mainstream, which transformed the housing industry in 2 ways. The first being a solution to covering monthly expenses on properties, and the second being outside investor interest. His business now focuses on purchasing properties from homeowners in sticky situations quickly and quietly.

 

Ryan also is also involved in partner opportunities, mentorship programs, and speaking engagements. He continues to innovate the industry with residential real estate purchases, coaching, new construction techniques, JV Partnerships, flipping, and small scale development. The purchasing of residential real estate has become a true passion, not just a business endeavour.
