My name is David Pere, I am an active duty Marine, and have realized that service members and the working class use the phrase "I don't get paid enough" entirely too often. The reality is that most often our financial situation is self-inflicted. After having success with real estate investing, I started From Military to Millionaire to teach personal finance and real estate investing to service members and the working class. As a result, I have helped many of my readers increase their savings gap, and increase their chances of achieving financial freedom! - Click here to SUBSCRIBE: https://bit.ly/2Q3EvfE to the channel for more awesome videos!

Building Landlordology, Cozy.Co, and a Real Estate Empire with Lucas Hall

Friday Oct 16, 2020

Friday Oct 16, 2020

Episode: 112

Lucas Hall

Join David Pere and Alexander Felice, with Lucas Hall, as they talk about Landlordology and how a side hustle blog evolved into one of the best sites when it comes to real estate educational tools and resources.

 

Lucas is a successful entrepreneur, product manager, and a skilled leader with the heart of a teacher. From purchasing a townhouse to impress a girl, to becoming an expert in real estate investing and technology; he has definitely come a long way! He founded and built a landlord education business, Landlordology.com, which was acquired by Cozy in 2014 and by CoStar Group (Nasdaq: CSGP) in November 2018. At present, Landlordology still receives nearly half a million visitors a month.

 

In this episode, Lucas will share some tips on tenant screening, short term rentals for vacation home properties, and a lot more. Stay tuned!

 

About Lucas Hall:

 

I’m an experienced landlord, real estate investor, national speaker, husband, father, and puppy-daddy. Oh, and the founder of Landlordology and head of industry relations at Cozy

 

I was 24 years old when I bought my first rental property to impress a girl. That’s right, a girl.

 

She purchased her first property at the age of 23, so I did the next logical thing. I bought a six-bedroom townhouse in her neighborhood and house hacked it, bringing my own costs to near zero. My cunning plan worked because we married three years later! The moral of the story is that if diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then real estate is a close second!

 

Now, I have dozens of tenants, properties in three states, and a profitable portfolio. I counsel thousands of property managers every year, teaching them how to successfully manage their rentals, build wealth, and keep their tenants happy.

 

I spend only a few hours a month self-managing my properties with Cozy, which saves me $34,000 a year in property management fees.

  • [01:54] House-hacking a six-bedroom townhouse to impress a girl.
