The Moonlight Real Estate Side Hustles and Syndications Show

From Working Multiple Jobs To Make Ends Meet To Financial Freedom Through Using The BRRRR Method With Austen Baxter 🔧🏠💥

Eric Lindsey Season 1 Episode 160

Meet Austen Baxter—former gas‑line technician by day, former DOT road‑crew worker by night, former weekend subcontractor, and always a husband and dad.


For three solid years he:
• Woke up at 9 AM to trade the market 📈
• Fixed gas lines until 7 PM 🔧
• Clocked in for overnight highway work until 5 AM 🚧
• Grabbed a 4‑hour nap 😴
• Repeated that loop Mon–Fri—then ran his own remodel crew 12 hours each Saturday & Sunday 🛠️


🚀 Austen’s First BRRRR Deal (Real Numbers)
🛒 Bought: $65 k fixer
🔨 Rehab: $20 k paint, floors, light kitchen work
💰 Rent: $1,450/month (≈ $500 net cash flow)
🏦 Refi: $142 k appraisal → 75 % DSCR loan repaid hard money & returned his $10 k
♻️ Capital rolled straight into the next house—every 30‑60 days.


📈 How He Scaled While Working Full‑Time
1️⃣ Lunch breaks = lender calls ☎️
2️⃣ Midnight drives = contractor check‑ins 🛻
3️⃣ Hard‑money + stacked business credit lines funded deal after deal 💳
4️⃣ Property managers handled tenants so he could keep grinding (and sleeping) 🛏️


🎯 Why & When He Quit The W‑2 Grind
⚠️ Safety First: Falling asleep in traffic and even in a tree with a chainsaw was the wake‑up call.
💵 Income Next: After roughly two years, rental cash flow tripled his old wages, allowing him to drop the weekend gig, then the day job, and finally the night shift—once he’d built a solid portfolio of cash‑flowing properties.


💡 Key Tips For Busy Professionals
🔹 Leverage Your Paycheck 🏦 – Banks love steady W‑2 income.
🔹 Buy Below Market 📉 – Big spreads absorb high rates.
🔹 Recycle Dollars With BRRRR 🔄 – One pile of cash can fund many homes.
🔹 Quit Last, Not First ⏳ – Replace your paycheck before handing in notice.
