Pillars Of Wealth Creation

In this episode, Todd sits down with Jonathan and Dustin from Convoy Home Loans to dive into DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans and how they can be a game-changer for real estate investors. Unlike traditional banks that rely heavily on personal income and tax returns, DSCR loans focus on the cash flow the property itself generates. They talk about how this approach opens the door for investors to continue scaling their portfolios, even if they already have multiple properties or complex financials. Jonathan and Dustin also share insights into the different loan structures Convoy offers, how they match the right loan to each investor’s needs, and why flexibility in lending can make the difference between stalled growth and long-term success.

In this solo episode, Todd breaks down how history repeats itself in the real estate market — and why Class C properties are getting hit harder than Class A and B in today’s environment. Todd discusses why C-class rents are declining faster, property values are softening, and growth is slowing compared to their higher-class counterparts. He explains why tenants don’t “move down” from A-class to B-class, and what that means for your investing strategy. Wrapping up, Todd shares why investing in your own backyard can give you a major advantage — but only if you do your due diligence with the same rigor you’d apply to an out-of-state deal.
