  • The No Money Down Lie (and How We Actually Did It)
    May 20 2025

    Send us a text

    Colin and Josh finally spill the beans on their latest mobile home park deal — a $3.6 million portfolio they locked down with (almost) no money out of pocket. But here’s the catch: they actually did bring a few grand to the table… so is "no money down" just a sexy lie to sell you a course?

    This episode dives into what “no money out of pocket” really means, how their investor got 5% equity, and the beautiful mess of coordinating signatures with trusts, partners, and a very tired Josh who went to bed at 7:30 PM. Oh, and if you're a high-income earner looking to offset taxes — the boys talk depreciation and short-term rental loopholes too. Grab a wine (hopefully worth $460 like Colin’s), and enjoy the banter.


    🔑 Key Topics :

    💸 No Money Down... Or Is It?

    How they bought a $3.6M deal with $3K out of pocket — and why that’s not exactly “free real estate.”

    👨‍⚕️ Locums Life & Sleep Goals

    Josh’s 11-hour coma, energy drinks, and travel anesthesia grind.

    🥳 Fiesta Neighbors & $500 Wine

    Colin's neighbors throw better parties than most weddings. Perks: loud music, cupcakes, and luxury wine.

    ✍️ The Signature Struggle

    Why getting everyone to sign a deal is harder than herding caffeinated cats.

    🏡 Short-Term Rentals & Tax Loopholes

    Why short-term rentals might be the move for high-income W2 folks (and how depreciation works, simplified).

    💰 Bonus Depreciation Breakdown

    The legal trick that lets you pay no taxes (for now), and how it’s phasing out fast.

    🏦 Investor Equity Math

    $75K = 5% equity. The logic, fairness, and long-term strategy behind the split.

    🙃 The Least Sleazy Community Ever™

    A future IRN real estate community that’s honest, helpful, and definitely not trying to upsell you.

Plus: appraisals that make no sense, closing delays that never end, and Colin’s dog Estelle being unfairly blamed (again). Whether you're a Dadpreneur or just here for the chaos, this one’s a ride.

    In this episode of the Investing RN Podcast, Josh and Colin take you inside the messy, chaotic, and crucial early stages of building a real estate portfolio.

    Starting with just 11 crummy multi-family units, they learned the hard way that good management beats good deals — and that lesson helped them scale to nearly 250 doors.
