Is it Better to Nomad™ or Buy Rentals All Cash?
09/01/23 • 36 min
Prices have gone up rapidly in the last few years. And, interest rates are much higher. And even though rents are up, they’re not up enough to counteract the much higher prices and much higher interest rates. That makes it harder to achieve good cash flow with a reasonable down payment.
One way to overcome the impact of higher interest rates is to not use loans to buy rental properties.
In this comparison mini-class James will compare the NomadTM real estate investing strategy to taking the significantly longer extra time to save up and buy rental properties for cash.
With the NomadTM strategy, James will have you put 5% down and buy an owner-occupant property that you live in for at least a year until you’ve saved up the next 5% down payment plus closing costs and reserves. Then, buy another 5% down payment owner-occupant property and move into the new property. Convert the previous property to a rental. Repeat this process until you’ve acquired 10 properties total—9 of them rental properties you purchased with 5% down payments.
When buying properties for cash, you’ll still buy your first property with 5% down payment and move in. But, after that, you’ll take the significantly longer time to save up 100% to buy a rental property all cash. And, free and clear properties without loans have much, much better cash flow than properties financing with 5% down. But, it takes a lot longer to save up to buy the first property. Keep saving until you buy up to 9 rentals all cash.
Which strategy will get you to financial independence fastest? Which will get you the highest net worth? Which is riskiest? We will analyze this comparison for 305 US cities.

The Importance of Loan Planning for Real Estate Investors
The Importance of Loan Planning for Real Estate Investors
Real estate investing is a little like the game of Chess. You can play the game with an elementary understanding of the basic rules. But, you soon learn that just knowing how the pieces move about the board are the table stakes for being able to sit at the game board.
If you want to do well, you need to start thinking about the consequences of your actions. And, not just the consequences of your actions for the immediate next move, but the consequences for moves multiple turns into the future.
The same applies to real estate investing... you need to be thinking not just about the deal analysis and loan of the property right in front of you; that’s table stakes. You need to be thinking about what the consequences are for that property far off into the future and, if you’re good, for multiple properties and multiple loans into the future.
That’s why loan planning is so important and why we’ll cover it in detail in this mini-class.

Amazing Rental Property Cash Flow Strategy with Ryan Chaw
Home prices are up a lot over the last 10 years or so, interest rates are up even more in the last 18 months or so, and—while rents are up—they’re not up enough to counteract the higher prices and interest rates.
That makes cash flow harder... but not for Ryan and his strategy...
We discuss this method of improving cash flow under "Improve Strategy" when we discuss our 88 cash flow improving strategies, but Ryan really drives home just how amazing it is.
