2. How many hours a night do you sleep?

6 – 7 hours

4. Do you invest out-of-state?

Yes.

5. Have you ever house hacked?

No, but I would if I could. It’s extremely hard in California.

6. Do you have a go-to paint color for your rentals?

Nope.

7. How long does it take you to analyze a property for investment?

About 5 minutes.

Conventional

10. What’s a landlord “hack” you use to make your life easier?

Networking with local boots on the ground. Whether you manage rentals on your own through RentRedi or have a property management company, you need boots on the ground to get advice on the market to make a good decision on purchasing your rental.

11. What is the #1 piece of advice you would give a new real estate investor just starting out?

Analyze deals every single day until you know what a ‘good’ deal is. Continue to do so until it becomes second nature, and start taking action & making offers on properties. You’ll learn everything else as you go.

More About Hayato Hori

I own a company called RocketOffr. We source off-market deals in the Midwest and currently do about 15-20 deals per month. I currently live in Long Beach, CA and even though it’s outside of LA it is still extremely expensive. 

It’s tough to find homes that are below $750k that cashflow (using financing) and that’s why the Midwest was so appealing. The prices of the homes can range from $30k – $150k and you can get great cash-flowing properties that also appreciate over time.

My goal is to continue building my rental portfolio and help others do the same through RocketOffr and make virtual out-of-state investing as easy as possible. I have been featured in the Hardy Hustle and Business Insider.
