PLP-079 Rashaad Rasberry: Looking At Comps From A Realtor’s Perspective

Published: July 22, 2019, 3 a.m.


Like most of those who get into this industry, Rashaad Rasberry saw real estate as a way to generate wealth. He did just that working as a real estate agent helping clients in their buying and selling experience. In today’s episode, Keith Baker talks with Rashaad about single-family comps and ARV, as he shares his thoughts on Houston pre- and post-Harvey. Having worked with investors and cash buyers, Rashaad walks us through the differences between the two. He also goes deep into his area and talks about comps from a realtor’s point of view - from what to look for in a property to the kinds of buyer behavior.

Rashaad Rasberry: Looking At Comps From A Realtor’s Perspective
How To Comp An SFR Property
You're going to get some bombs dropped on you. I’m excited about this episode, our interview with Rashaad Rasberry. If you're looking for practical tips and advice on mitigating and eliminating risks with the investment vehicle known as private mortgage lending, then you're in the right place. If you also want to learn from my mistakes that you can avoid them and the mistakes of others, then have a seat. This is the show that is created for those who are looking to take control of their financial future by doing what it takes to create wealth in the marathon of life with old-world techniques and values. I’m looking to create a tribe of lenders that will disrupt the way we think about money, not only the way we think about money, but especially the way that we teach our kids about money.

Together, we can all prosper without the too big to fail banks and brokers. This episode is sponsored by Quest Trust Company and their Self-Directed IRA EXPO being held in Houston, my backyard, from August 23rd to 25th, 2019. I attended in 2018. I was a vendor and I’m excited to take part in the second annual Quest EXPO. Quest does go out of the way to create these wonderful networking and education opportunities that benefit all types of investors. If you're within earshot, I highly recommend you make the trip to attend. When you do, stop by and say hi to me. I love to meet my audience. I’d love to meet other investors. I love to hear how people get creative in financing. Sometimes it's stuff that I haven't thought about or haven't heard about. Go to PrivateLenderPodcast.com/expo for the link to purchase your ticket. That's not an affiliate link. I don't get any money. As everyone knows, I want to beat Scott Carson over at We Close Notes. He won in 2018. He got the most tickets sold. I’d like to beat him. He's a great guy, but I love a little friendly competition.

In this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking to a new friend in the real estate investing world. I’m excited that he accepted my invitation and took time to come on the show. Let's go ahead and start talking about single-family comps with Rashaad Rasberry.

Lender Nation, I’d like to welcome Rashaad Rasberry to the show. Thank you for coming on and agreeing to come on and allow me to abuse you with some questions.

Thank you, Keith. I’m happy to be here. Hopefully, the abuse is minimized but we'll see how we fare towards the end of the show.

A little background, Rashaad and I met not through real estate, but through soccer. Our daughters played on the same team together. I see him wearing a realtor shirt. I’m like, “Real estate.” One thing led to another, one decent season of soccer with some kids. Now, here we are. I’d like you to give us a little background about yourself. Let the Lender Nation know how you got into real estate and how you became a realtor.

My venture into real estate was not your typical journey.
