Summary
Vacation rentals, real estate agent commissions, brokerage fees, insurance quotes, and everything in between just start to scratch the surface of who Christian Bachelder is. Some of you may have seen Christian before on our YouTube channel where he talks about interest rates, loan products, and other future financing projections. But today, Christian gets to talk about how he not only built a large rental portfolio but did so while running multiple businesses.
Even as full-time workers, many Americans feel like they don’t have enough time in the day to relax, let alone invest. So how does someone with a jam-packed schedule, a lot of pressure, and a mountain of responsibilities find time to not only buy one rental but fifteen rental properties in a year? To Christian, it took a bit of trial and error, but the answer is simply making your time as efficient as humanly possible.
He’s been able to heavily invest, start and run one of the top mortgage brokerages in the country, work as an agent, and provide insurance to clients as well. He drills down into what business owners and investors alike need to do to reclaim their time, and once it’s theirs, use it to the highest and best use. He also drops some financing pro tips that may help you lower the down payment you need or close with a better-than-average interest rate!
In This Episode We Cover:
Turning your referrals into full-blown businesses that can build your wealth
Why investors should always choose brokers, lenders, and agents who invest themselves
The velocity of time and why focusing on “return on time” beats ROI when investing
Creative financing and loan programs that can save you serious cash at closing
Partnering up to not only buy real estate but build businesses faster
How to get three times more work done in the same amount of time
And So Much More!

| 0:04.8 | But you never know, right? Your next relationship, your next lead, your next investment |
| 0:09.5 | partner could come from anywhere. And if you're always thinking of maximizing the time |
| 0:13.7 | that you're spending through your life, it compounds. It just like money does, right? |
| 0:17.8 | Everybody has their 401k that, you know, compounds on interest every year. Time is the same exact |
| 0:22.7 | way. And if you choose very carefully where you put that first minute, before you know it, |
| 0:26.6 | you're getting five or ten minutes out for every minute you spend. What's up everyone? This is |
| 0:30.0 | David Green, your host of the Bigger Pockets Real Estate Podcast. Here with my co-host, |
| 0:34.4 | Rob Abbasolo. Rob has it going today. I'm feeling good, man. I'm feeling really good. I'm the |
| 0:39.6 | closing all my rings on my Apple Watch. And that's honestly the only goal that's a requirement |
| 0:45.0 | every single day. So close my rings, get my steps in, burn some calories, and hopefully, |
| 0:50.4 | gotta, you know, get a little bit towards the who I used to be physically. That's what I, |
| 0:55.3 | it's my big project for the next two or three months. It's no joke. And then it's over. Then I'm |
| 0:59.1 | done. I'm just kidding. Yeah, I'm obviously trying to maintain fitness while you're able to make |
| 1:02.9 | money. It's really hard. It's so hard because you're like, oh, if I take off two hours and I go |
| 1:07.2 | workout, I might lose ten grand. Like it's always in your head. It's very hard to stay disciplined |
| 1:11.6 | with that. Yeah. The channel pandemic, everything, like everything just really put up, oh, having kids, |
| 1:18.7 | put a pause on anything physical for me for like the last two years. And as someone who's always |
| 1:23.8 | on camera, I was like, okay, all right. All right, buddy, it's time. It's time to trim you up, |
| 1:28.2 | pal. So I give myself motivational talks in the mirror every day. Well, let's keep at it. You |
| 1:33.1 | can always send me those Jim selfies, man. We'll keep each other accountable. That's right. You |
