Replacing His Income with Rentals (in 3 Years!) by “Recycling” Money | Bigger Pockets Podcast

In just three years, this investor scaled up to making over $100,000 per year thanks to real estate. He did it all starting in 2022 when interest rates were beginning to rise, the market was turning, and many investors decided to sit on their hands. Thanks to a strategy that allowed him to “recycle” his money, he went from one down payment to 16 rental units in record time. How’d he do it?

Only in his 20s, Ricardo Adames already knew he wanted out of his career. Working harder wasn’t paying him dividends, so he knew he needed an extra income source. Even after taking a “risk” on his first deal, he was able to walk away with a perfect rental property that only cost him (after all was said and done) $5,000. How’s that possible? Simple—the BRRRR method. 

In this episode, Ricardo details this cash-recycling method investors can use TODAY to build a six-figure-producing real estate portfolio, even if you have little experience. Plus, Ricardo shares his exact “buy box”—the properties he’s targeting for more home-run real estate deals in 2025!
