Want financial freedom through real estate investing? Then the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast is for you. Sit down every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with Dave Meyer, the Head of Real Estate at BiggerPockets, as he uncovers tried and true tactics and shares candid conversations with real estate investors who are building wealth in today’s market. Join Dave to walk through deals that went right (and wrong) and learn the strategies you can deploy—start growing your side income today to take control of your financial future.

Today’s guest makes $60,000 per MONTH the old-fashioned real estate investing way. He buys rentals you can find on any real estate listing site, uses his own money to invest, doesn’t need “creative financing” techniques to fund the deal, and treats his tenants well. This is a real estate portfolio anyone can repeat, and it has made Welby Accely a multimillionaire in just over a decade, even after he lost everything (three times!). 

In a time when every real estate guru is trying to get you into the lowest-money-down deal with the most risk and the shallowest margins, Welby takes it the whole other direction. His simple offer “formula” allows him to buy properties under market value, fix them up, get them rented, and refinance out to create an “infinite return.” Basically the BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) strategy, but EVEN safer.

How does he find rentals that are (almost) always worth more than what he pays for them? Welby says, “Every deal is a flip,” meaning if you buy rentals like a flipper would, your profit margins massively multiply, and you reap huge financial benefits. Welby is a REAL real estate investor, giving you a real strategy you can use in 2025, even with high interest rates. The question is, will you take advantage of it like Welby did? 

In This Episode We Cover
Welby’s unbeatable “offer formula” to get discounted real estate deals with HUGE equity upside 
Why Welby believes every investment is a “flip” and how it’s made him millions
How to find real estate deals ON-MARKET by simply browsing listing sites and activating notifications 
Why Welby always puts more money down on his properties (and it pays him back BIG time)
What you can offer (that isn’t money) to get a seller to accept your bid 
And So Much More!

Making $60K Per Month with the Repeatable, Low-Risk Real Estate “Formula”

Home prices are falling fast in some prime real estate markets across the country while others remain stubbornly stuck. What’s the defining factor between a stable housing market and one where sellers are actively cutting prices? Housing inventory! This metric defined the 2020 - 2022 run-up in home prices, but the rubber band of demand is snapping back as buyer power grows, housing inventory rises, and investors get even better buying opportunities.
Remember when people said, “I’ll buy when prices drop”? Well, now might be the time.
ResiClub’s Lance Lambert joins us to provide a holistic view of housing inventory, prices, demand, and emerging opportunities. Lance walks through the most up-to-date data on where housing inventory is rising fast, where prices are quickly declining, and which markets are holding on as sellers remain in control.
We’ll also talk about why homebuilding costs are about to JUMP and the reason Warren Buffett sold his homebuilding stocks shortly after buying them. Will construction slow down, limiting new inventory and leading us back into ultra-low supply? If so, this could push home prices higher, creating a prime opportunity for real estate investors.

In This Episode We Cover:
Is spiking inventory a worrying sign for the housing market, or are we merely normalizing?
What to look at in your housing market to forecast whether prices will rise or fall 
Why are homebuilding costs about to JUMP, and could this lead to even more inventory problems?
The new housing trend: Older renters, but could this mean more demand for rentals?
And So Much More!

Housing Market Shift: Inventory Catapults Back, Buying Opportunities Grow

What’s the best rental property for the average investor? It’s not a single-family rental, it’s not a large apartment building, it’s not even a duplex or a triplex—it’s a “sweet spot” small multifamily. These investment properties, ranging from five to 25 units, make more money, are easier to manage, and help you scale faster to achieve financial freedom. Even large multifamily investing experts like Brian Burke are ditching the huge apartment complexes to buy these.
But what makes these small multifamily investment properties so much better than their bigger and smaller counterparts? We’re discussing the massive investing opportunities in 2025 for these properties with Brian today and how new investors and those looking for a manageable portfolio can leverage these properties to reach financial freedom.
These types of properties are still experiencing low prices with limited competition, which means that if you know about them, you already have an advantage. How long do we have until multifamily prices rebound and these investments become out of reach for regular investors? How do you analyze a small multifamily property to ensure it makes you monthly passive income? Brian shares his wisdom and gives an exact timeline for when it may be too late to buy.

In This Episode We Cover:
The rental property “sweet spot” for more income and fewer headaches 
Why it’s easier to own multifamily than single-family homes 
The multifamily real estate crash and why prices are LOW right now
How to analyze small multifamily before you buy and which expenses most new investors forget
What makes a “good” small multifamily real estate deal in 2025
And So Much More!

The Ultimate Underrated Rental Property of 2025 (for Small Investors)

This investor built a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio with low-money-down loans and little cash-to-close. Thanks to his smart “rinse and repeat” strategy, he’s quickly scaled from zero to 13 rental units in just four years, all while collecting thousands of dollars of cash flow a month. He would have never been able to get to this place if he hadn’t followed a strategy many investors are too scared to try.
Mike Johnson knew the best way to take bigger career risks was to have a backup plan. The ultimate passive income plan? Rental properties. But he didn’t want to put 20% to 25% down on each property he bought, so he started where many investors do—house hacking. Four years later, he’s continued his repeatable house hacking strategy, purchasing a new property every year, living in one unit, and renting out the others.
This has allowed Mike to build a portfolio worth $3.4 million in just four years while buying in B+ or A-class neighborhoods and taking home a healthy amount of cash flow. But he has dealt with his fair share of headaches—squatters, non-paying tenants, and a lot of purple paint. Mike still says investing has been a massive win for him, and you can repeat his same strategy! 

In This Episode We Cover:
How to start investing in real estate with little money using the house hacking strategy 
Why your primary residence IS an investment (and a phenomenal one at that)
The biggest mistake Mike made that led to him buying a property with a squatter in the unit 
The new 5% down multifamily loan you can use to buy bigger, better, more expensive properties 
The cash flow AND appreciation market Mike is bullish on (and keeps investing in)
When to self-manage vs. hire property management for your rentals 
And So Much More!
