  • Bill welcomes Matt Porcaro, creator of the 203K Way. Matt transitioned from corporate America to full-time real estate investing, starting with a 3.5% FHA loan and turning $9,500 into $130,000 in equity. He dives into the details of the 203K Way, an FHA loan program that allows for purchasing and renovating properties with minimal down payment. Matt shares his journey from working as an engineer in New York City to discovering this lesser-known, government-backed financing tool, which enabled him to buy a duplex and accumulate significant equity. He emphasizes the importance of owner-occupancy and leveraging low down payment opportunities as a beginner. Despite facing challenges, including long commutes and dissatisfaction with his corporate job, Matt persisted and found success in real estate. The discussion also touches on refinancing strategies, the role of mortgage insurance, and the benefits of house hacking. Matt reveals his current portfolio, flipping houses for active income and holding properties for long-term gains. He provides insights into current market trends, the impact of political uncertainty, and the emergence of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) as a solution to the housing shortage. The episode concludes with a focus on the future of real estate investing and the importance of flexibility and resilience in one's strategy. The host encourages listeners to follow Matt's journey through his coaching program and Instagram, emphasizing the value of the 203K loan as a critical tool for real estate investors.
