Is “subject to” real estate investing a mistake? Why is cash flow SO hard to find? And what do you do when you overpay for a property? With so many ways to build wealth with real estate, you’ll also need to be aware of the pitfalls. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you could end up with a property you paid too much for, with no cash flow and empty pockets. Thankfully, this is BiggerPockets, so we’re going to give you all the tactics you need to make your next investment a home run. Put on your green-tinted goggles because David does NOT have a green light for this Seeing Greene episode. Due to this unforgivable offense, we brought another expert investor, Rob Abasolo, on to help David answer some of YOUR real estate investing questions. First, we hear from an investor who makes some great cash flow from her short-term rental but wonders if it’s worth all the work. Next, an investor finds out that his new build property is selling for a significant discount—can he get out of the deal? Similarly, an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) investor is looking to develop but doesn’t know the best way to finance his new construction. David also answers some questions from the comment section about why investors stopped chasing cash flow so much. And finally, a realtor is concerned about the amount of subto (subject to) “speculation” in today’s industry. Are his concerns legit? Stick around; we’ll get into it all in this episode! In This Episode We Cover: How to automate your short-term rental so you do less work What to do when you realize you’ve overpaid for a property How to fund a new development with equity, construction loans, or both  Why cash flow is NOT the only thing to focus on anymore  Subject to speculation and whether overpaying to lock in a low rate is EVER worth it  And So Much More!

There’s one type of investment property most people would NEVER consider that could make you a millionaire. They’re not regular rental properties or huge apartment complexes—in fact, they’re so cheap that most investors could probably buy them outright in cash. What’s this “overlooked” investment property that could make you millions? Stick around, we’ll tell you. Four years ago, Jason Velie worked at a W2 job without any investment property or passive income. Now, he’s a multimillionaire, making $10,000/month in pure cash flow, NEVER having to wake up to an alarm clock again. After a first deal gone wrong, where Jason spent two years working on a house just to break even, he was introduced to a new type of investment property—one nobody talks about. With the massive profits from these cash cow deals, Jason was then able to use just $15,000 to buy a property that is now worth $1,000,000. And this was ALL during one of the hottest real estate markets ever. The best part? You can do EXACTLY what Jason did to become a millionaire, too, so stick around to hear his FULL strategy! In This Episode We Cover: The “overlooked” asset class that could make you six figures with ONE deal Why you should NEVER pay a contractor without seeing the completed work Calculating your “worst-case scenario” before you buy ANY property Investing in mobile and manufactured homes and cheap real estate with huge upside The one real estate investing tool Jason used to explode his portfolio  How Jason turned $15,000 into $4,000 per month in pure cash flow!

“Want to invest in multifamily real estate, do zero work, and make a million dollars, all in a few months? Well, we have the opportunity for you! We’re about to make you a gazillionaire for the low, low price of your entire life savings. Don’t worry about doing any due diligence; just sign these papers without looking through them. You’re about to strike it rich!” Most people can call out an obvious scam or bad real estate deal, but what about the less-than-obvious signs? Today, we’ve got two multifamily real estate experts, Andrew Cushman and Matt Faircloth, on the show to go through the multifamily and syndication red flags that could cost you EVERYTHING.

Whether you’re partnering on a deal or passively investing in syndications, if any of these red flags show up, you should run—immediately. From vetting a sponsor to investigating track records, which metrics to trust (and which NOT to), and the questions you MUST ask, this episode alone could stop you from losing tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. In This Episode We Cover: The seven deadly signs that a multifamily syndication deal is a scam (or at least a dud) Vetting a sponsor/syndicator and why you MUST avoid “FOMO investing” Partnerships, inexperienced sponsors, and who you can REALLY trust The new financial “metric” unsophisticated syndicators hope you DON’T look into  The “capital stack” explained, and how to do your due diligence on a syndication’s debt (before you invest) And So Much More!

Have home equity? Well, you could retire early, thanks to it. If you bought a house from 2009 up until 2021, there’s a good chance you could be sitting on tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of dollars in equity. But equity just sitting in a property isn’t doing much for you unless you can use it to retire early! Want to know how? Stick around; we’ll show you! We’re back on another Seeing Greene where average investor Rob Abasolo joins buff, strong, beautiful, and bald David Greene to answer your real estate investing questions. In today’s show, we talk to Anthony, a slow-and-steady investor who’s built up an impressive amount of equity over the past decade. He wants to retire early and use his equity to increase monthly cash flow. But what’s the best way to do it? Next, we share some public loathing of HOAs (homeowners associations) and how they can be the bane of your investing existence, plus when it’s time to sell a property in an HOA. Finally, an investor who is STRUGGLING to pay off her HELOC asks what the next best move to make is: work hard to pay it off the old-fashioned way or leverage ANOTHER investment to become debt-free faster. In This Episode We Cover: How to turn your home equity into cash flow and an early retirement  Buying rental properties in cash and when it makes sense to forgo a mortgage Syndications vs. active investing and when you should stay away from “passive” income HOA headaches and why a homeowner association could ruin your cash flow Cash-hemorrhaging HELOCs and the fastest way to pay off bad debt And So Much More!

Keleisha Carter built a $5K/month passive income stream as a new immigrant with NO green card, money, or ability to get a mortgage. After realizing that her corporate job in Jamaica wouldn’t lead her to where she wanted to be, Keleisha made the adventurous decision to pack up everything she had and move to the US. Overnight, she went from a high-respected marketing role to bussing tables in an entirely different country, but she had bigger plans. Keleisha’s goal was to support her family financially in any way she could and eventually bring them to the States. After numerous promotions, Keleisha built up a small sum of savings that she would use to buy her first rental property. Or, that was the plan until she realized that without being a US citizen, purchasing a home and getting a mortgage would be much more complicated than she thought. In today’s show, Keleisha shares her smart strategy to get around the banks and buy properties, EVEN as a new immigrant. Plus, she’ll show how she’s buying rentals today WITHOUT using her own money and why she’ll NEVER try to flip houses again.

Yes, there are STILL rental property mortgages with low interest rates AND low money down, even in 2023. These investment property loans are unknown to most real estate investors simply because they don’t know where to look or who to ask about them. Which loans are we talking about? Stick around because today, we’re uncovering all the ways that YOU can finance and fund your real estate deals in 2023 and 2024, even when getting a loan is harder than ever before. If you’ve been struggling to put properties under contract because your financing keeps falling through, this is the episode for you. After running into numerous closing table conundrums and non-stop financing fatigue, many real estate investors are giving up on buying new properties due to banks’ lack of liquidity and eye-watering loan requirements. But that isn’t stopping David, Rob, or today’s guest, Zach Lemaster, from closing deals. In this episode, we’ll go through the loan options that WORK in 2023 and 2024, the creative financing you can use to fund your next deal, and the often unknown loans that STILL offer only three percent mortgage rates or just five percent down on rental properties (seriously). If you haven’t tried these loans yet, you could be missing out on some of the best deals of the decade. In This Episode We Cover: The underrated, often overlooked rental property loans with low interest rates and low down payments Why getting a thirty-year fixed-rate loan may NOT make sense in 2023 and 2024 Whether to secure the debt or the deal first on your next real estate investment Loan “covenants” you MUST look out for before getting any new mortgage Mortgage rate predictions and where interest rates could be over the next five years How to build a relationship with banks/lenders so you ALWAYS get funding  And So Much More!

How many rental properties would it take for you to become financially free? Five, ten, twenty, one hundred? And once you know how many you need, how long will it take you to get there? KC Massie reached financial independence in his thirties after eleven years of slowly, quietly, and strategically building a repeatable rental property portfolio that rakes in over $100,000 per MONTH in rent. Yes, you read that right—six figures a month!  KC didn’t do anything spectacular to achieve this feat. He didn’t raise any money from friends or family, buy a thousand units in a year, or use risky debt. Instead, KC did things the old-fashioned way—slowly building a portfolio of rental properties, consistently buying every year, and making the most money he could at his job to fuel his purchases. Fast forward eleven years, he has complete financial freedom and has enough money to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. In today’s show, you’ll hear about KC’s repeatable path to real estate wealth, the surprisingly ordinary methods he used to build a BIG portfolio of rental properties, and why he encourages EVERY real estate investor to start “building quietly.”  In This Episode We Cover How KC built a $50K/month rental property income stream in just eleven years The “limiting beliefs” you’re telling yourself that stop you from achieving financial freedom Working with your spouse and why you WANT them included in your rental business  Why getting better at your job is the fastest road to early retirement  How KC doubled his portfolio overnight with one very smart move  Why you MUST start “building quietly” if you ever want to become wealthy  And So Much More!

You’ve seen Barbara Corcoran on Shark Tank, heard of her unbelievable real estate deals that make millions of dollars, and might own a product or two that she’s invested in. She’s spent her entire career betting on New York real estate, and her risk has come with tens of millions of dollars in rewards. And while Barbara is known for her “go with your gut” type of investing, her son, Tom Higgins, went a completely different direction—and it paid off. Tom has flown under the radar for most of his real estate career, never relying on his Corcoran lineage thanks to his different last name. He worked at a real estate brokerage in college, attended real estate finance classes at night, and eventually found himself in the industry as a real estate development professional, helping develop and renovate over 2,000 multifamily rental units! Tom is a hard-numbers guy. He knows the cash-on-cash return, loan-to-value, and acquisition cost of every deal he’s done. Barbara, on the other hand, self-admittedly, can barely remember which metrics are which. Today, Barbara and Tom debate whether you should go with your head or heart when investing in real estate and why using a little bit of both could make you richer than all the other investors. In This Episode We Cover: Barbara and Tom’s sneaky way of finding up-and-coming real estate investing areas Why Barbara says to never touch a DIME of your cash flow until… How Tom made Barbara even more money by making her go against her investing nature  One super simple way to immediately find out if a contractor will be worth the money  Risky leverage and the one type of loan Tom says to STAY AWAY from Why Barbara looks for “old ladies” every time she’s in a new market  How Tom uses BiggerPockets to meet investors, contractors, and partners (and why you should too!)  And So Much More!

Will 2024 bring about a soft landing or a hard recession? Tough economic times could be upon us as more and more economists disagree with the “soft landing” narrative of early and mid-2023. Even though the economy hasn’t broken down yet, top-tier investors like Fundrise’s Ben Miller believe that a recessionary “lag” is taking place that could give us some severe financial whiplash—and only the best of the best will survive what is to come. So, what does it take to survive a recession, and how do you know whether or not you’ve put yourself at risk of losing everything? Ben, David, and Rob all give their takes on what could happen in 2024, how they’re protecting their wealth, and why they’re taking fewer risks to ensure they make it out alive. This may be a HUGE wake-up call if you’re still actively buying real estate deals and leveraging your portfolio as much as possible. Ben will also talk about his lessons from the last two crashes, how the companies he worked with got crushed, and how he changed his investing perspective to build wealth far faster than almost anyone around him. Wealth is built during the downtimes, but if you don’t follow the advice of those who have been through past crashes, you could lose everything you’ve built! In This Episode We Cover: When the 2024 recession could hit and why it may be worse than most Americans believe The recession “lag” that is catching up to us and why it might hit you by surprise  A soft landing vs. hard recession and how bad the economy could get Impacts on real estate and whether or not you should be buying or holding right now Playing financial “defense” and how to ensure you don’t get wiped out during downtimes High mortgage rates and how they could lead to unemployment, a housing market standstill, and a tough economy And So Much More!

We’re about to show you the eight best housing markets you’ve never heard of before. If you want boring, unsexy markets that give you mailbox money every month, have growing populations, cheap homes, and strong economies, bring your notepad because you probably haven’t thought of any of these markets before. We sent our On the Market researchers on a quest to find the country’s most boring, underrated, yet promising rental property markets—and we’re sharing the list with you today. From college football towns to underrated beach cities and strong manufacturing centers, almost all these cities have cash-flowing real estate where you can find steals and deals easier than already-tapped markets like Miami, D.C., or Denver. Some of these markets are on the smaller side. Still, with housing affordability tanking, these cheaper states could see a massive influx in population as coastal workers seek financially stable inland cities.

Could the end of real estate investing already be upon us? How do you know how much to spend on a renovation before buying a house? And is a negative cash flow rental EVER worth investing in? On this Seeing Greene, we’re answering the tough questions you’ll be forced to ask in a hard housing market so you can build wealth while the masses run for the hills. Thankfully, David has his co-pilot on this episode! David and Rob are back to answer YOUR real estate questions, EVEN if you’re too scared to hear the answers. On today’s show, a live caller asks, “How do I get a renovation estimate BEFORE bidding on a BRRRR?” If you’ve stressed over which comes first, the bid or the buy, stick around. We’ll also touch on negative cash flow and when it makes sense to buy a rental that’s losing money every month (there’s a science to this). Then, for all you doomsayers, David and Rob give their take on what happens when the population declines, and no one is left to rent houses. Finally, we answer the age-old question, “should I rent or buy in today’s market?” Want to ask David a question? If so, submit your question here so David can answer it on the next episode of Seeing Greene. Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can jump on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot! In This Episode We Cover: How to estimate rehab costs BEFORE you bid on a BRRRR When it’s worth it to buy a “cash flow negative” rental property  The secret to getting out of ANY contract if you need to exit a deal The long-term effects of declining populations and whether real estate investing could meet its end Renting vs. buying and when it makes sense to invest while you're still a renter And So Much More!

Darius Kellar went from making ten dollars an hour as a janitor to a real estate investor with over $1,000,000 in rental properties in less than a decade. By taking advantage of property auctions and investing in areas that most real estate investors wouldn’t even consider, Darius has built a real estate portfolio that will soon bring in six figures in rent every year, most of which he’ll get to keep. How he did it was a lot simpler than you’d expect. Before real estate, Darius had $100,000 in student debt, was making a close-to-unlivable wage, and knew he needed a way out. He bought his first home six years after the Great Financial Crisis in an economically devastated city. Darius couldn’t get a mortgage and needed to save up to get out of the two-bedroom house he was sharing with six other people. Once he closed on his first house, he knew he had to repeat the system. But this wasn’t easy. Darius has seen everything from sewer problems to stripped copper piping and wiring, no electric hookups, and renovation headaches, but he never stopped. Now, he makes as much passive income per year as many people’s full-time jobs and can show you how to do the same so you can make more money than you ever dreamed possible. In This Episode We Cover: How to buy properties at auctions for THOUSANDS of dollars each (seriously) The one thing you MUST do before you buy any property (getting this wrong could cost you thousands) DIY rehabs and how to outsource your home renovations so you can focus on investing How to use BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) to build your real estate portfolio faster Why Darius’ overlooked area could be a cash flow goldmine for investors Turning your real estate skills into a business to make even more money And So Much More!

Without asset protection, your wealth is as good as gone. One slip and fall from a tenant, one angry ex-spouse, one jealous onlooker, and you could have your real estate relinquished and your bank accounts drained. And as the economy continues to get even more rocky, lawsuits that threaten your hard-earned nest egg are becoming more and more common. So, how do you build a legal fortress around your fortune? Brian T. Bradley, Esq., our go-to asset protection expert, is back on the show with news that could affect all real estate investors. A recent case surrounding LLCs (limited liability companies) has completely changed the landscape for investors, businesses, and anyone who operates within an LLC. Now, the LLC you so carefully set up could mean nothing if you eventually get sued. But there is something you can do about it. In this episode, Brian goes over the changes in this new LLC law, how you can start protecting your assets (even if you only have a couple of properties), how to NOT commit “accidental fraud,” and the rise of “Robin Hood” lawsuits you MUST protect yourself against. In This Episode We Cover: The asset protection “layers” anyone can use to protect themselves from lawsuits  A new court case on LLCs that could change the way business is done  “Piercing the veil” and mistakes you’re probably making that could cost you everything The “accidental fraud” actions MANY investors make when protecting their assets Why you NEVER want to put your rental properties into an S-Corp The rise in “Robin Hood” lawsuits that target wealthy, successful investors And So Much More!

Kevin Paffrath, AKA “Meet Kevin,” one of YouTube’s most famous financial influencers and real estate investors, joins us for this week’s Seeing Greene to answer YOUR real estate investing questions. But this time, you’ll hear a bit more about who should be investing, who shouldn’t, and why partnering up on a property is a huge “no-no” in Kevin’s book. Plus, if you’re starved for cash flow in this impossible investing environment, Kevin has some good news for you. But that’s not all we get into. David and Kevin talk about why cash flow isn’t as important as you think, why dating the mortgage rate could be risky, the social media investing scam you could be falling into, and why investing with no money down is a fool’s game. One investor even submits a potential deal that makes Kevin want to vomit (his words), so if this sounds like something you’re about to buy, run away! Want to ask David a question?

If Lindsey Duguet can reach financial freedom, you can too. She was hundreds of thousands in debt from student loans, trying to raise a family with almost zero free time, working eighty-hour weeks, and failing to find financial footing. Now, just five years later, she’s financially free, owns over five hundred rentals, and works not because she has to but because she wants to. She’s scaled faster than almost anyone else we’ve interviewed, so tune in to hear her secrets! Let’s address the elephant in the room. Lindsey Duguet is actually Dr. Lindsey Duguet, a physician who was the first in her family to attend college. After being told “you can’t do that” more times than she could count, Lindsey made it her mission to prove everyone wrong on her road to success. She got into medical school, nailed residency, became a doctor, and then built a massive passive income rental portfolio on the side to free up family time. In this episode, Lindsey talks about what made her realize she couldn’t rely on a W2, why buying squatter-filled rentals for just $5,000 isn’t the best move to make, a MASSIVE BRRRR win that made her $300K (tax-free), and how to get “unstuck” when you feel like your real estate investing has hit a wall. In This Episode We Cover: How to build a massive real estate portfolio in five years (or less) Direct mail and other ways that Lindsey found killer off-market deals Why you should NEVER buy a house sight unseen (unless you do this) Real estate partnerships and how to use them to build an even bigger portfolio Creating passive income and why you CAN'T rely on your W2 forever Working full-time while running a real estate portfolio and how to start outsourcing tasks And So Much More!

Earlier this year, many Airbnb hosts expected the short-term rental market to fall off a cliff. With the threat of an economic recession, travel spending was supposed to crater, and with it, a slew of Airbnb failures. But that never happened. While demand did drop, supply increased, and daily rate growth eventually fell flat, there was no “Airbnbust” that so many doomsayers predicted. But, with another recession risk looking more real, are hosts still safe? We brought AirDNA’s Jamie Lane back to give his take on whether or not a short-term rental crash could happen this year or next. But that’s not all; Jamie also goes over what top hosts are doing NOW to increase their revenue and keep their businesses afloat even as rates come off their post-pandemic highs. Plus, what’s happening globally as a strong US dollar scares away would-be international travelers. If you run an Airbnb, this is data you must pay attention to. We’ll review which short-term rental markets are in danger, the amenities that will explode your occupancy, what to do when regulations get introduced in your city, and how to prepare if a recession cuts into Americans’ travel spending. In This Episode We Cover: The “Airbnbust” that never happened and why the short-term rental market held up Supply, demand, and why average daily rates are starting to fall across the industry Airbnb bans and short-term rental regulations that could immediately impact your business Global Airbnbs and why international travelers are steering clear of vacationing in the US Fires, floods, hurricanes, and other natural disasters threatening lives and Airbnb businesses Jamie’s advice on getting your first Airbnb and how to find a market that will last And So Much More!

About to take out a HELOC to buy an investment property? This could be a move you regret for years, ESPECIALLY if you’re doing this in 2023. As home prices have risen and real estate investors search for more money to invest, the HELOC (home equity line of credit) has become an obvious choice for many. But drawing from these lines of credit could come with a lot more risk than you might think and may tank your cash flow. David Greene is back on another Seeing Greene, live from Florida! But that’s not all; Rob (Robuilt) Abasolo is coming on to tag-team your real estate investing questions. They'll first talk to Tim, who wants to invest in real estate in high-priced Southern California. He has a townhome with some sizable equity but doesn’t know how to fund his first investment or make the most cash flow. David and Rob also hit on what to do with inherited or paid-off properties and how to scale when you lack the capital. Plus, we read a two-star review and combat it with a YouTube comment compliment from David’s secret admirer. Want to ask David a question?

Luke Carl’s real estate “gateway drug” took him from one home to three hundred rental units in record time—and it can do the same for you. What started as a niche type of investing quickly took over the world, and Luke was able to use these mega high-cash flow properties to buy more rentals, build more wealth, and have enough real estate to do whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. If you want that same type of financial freedom, you’ll want to copy Luke’s blueprint. Luke and his wife, Avery, bought their first short-term rental before the term “Airbnb” even existed. They got in the game so early that they currently have the longest-running Airbnb in the Smoky Mountains. One vacation rental turned into another and another until they eventually reached a breaking point, forcing them to pivot and turn their short-term profits into long-term rentals, a move that Luke would wholeheartedly do again. Now, with a massive rental property portfolio, Luke credits his passive income portfolio to short-term rentals. The high cash flow has allowed him to buy more passive properties that can be outsourced and don’t require constant attention. But can YOU still repeat Luke’s short-term rental strategy with the so-called “#Airbnbust” upon us? Surprisingly, yes. He'll show you how. In This Episode We Cover: How to use high-cash flow vacation rentals to build your real estate portfolio WAY faster Why Luke DIDN’T quit his job to invest in real estate EVEN when he had enough income Transitioning from short-term rentals to long-term rentals and when to STOP buying Airbnbs Luke’s financial “buckets” every short-term rental operator must set up Property management vs. self-management and why you DON’T need to outsource most vacation rentals And So Much More!

Want to speed up your retirement savings so you can retire even faster? With the right out-of-state rental properties, you can have consistent cash flow coming in every month, along with tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, in equity from properties you bought this year! Today, we’re talking to two investors building their retirement nest eggs with long-distance real estate investing. Even better, the deals they’ll share were bought THIS year in today’s impossible housing market. First, we’ll talk to Keith, who lives in pricey California. He knew he couldn’t invest nearby but wanted to start building his passive income empire. With the help of Indianapolis agent Peter Stewart, Keith was able to lock down a medium-term rental that now cash flows $700 per month! Keith and Peter get into all the details, from how much the house cost to how they got it close to $30,000 under asking price, and the almost-perfect BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) they did. Next, we’ll talk to Dave, who sold off all his rental properties in the last crash. Now, with retirement inching closer, he wants to build a legacy for his two boys. Dave worked with Oklahoma’s own Dahlia Khalaf on finding a long-term rental in a market with PLENTY of demand—so much demand that Dave had seventy-five interested applicants the weekend he posted this home for rent! If you want to find deals like Keith and Dave did in TODAY’s housing market, tune in! In This Episode We Cover: Retiring with rental properties and how to start building your nest egg today Out-of-state real estate investing and landlording at a distance when your home market is too pricey Building your “buy box” so you know exactly what rental properties to look for How to get WAY more cash flow out of the same rental with the “medium-term rental” model Using the BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) method to pay close to nothing for rental properties  Why overbidding isn’t always a bad thing (and how it can make you money!)

“Should I sell my rental property in 2023?” If you own investment property, you’ve probably asked yourself this numerous times over the past ten months. Prices are high, inventory is low, and your appreciated property’s profits could be turned into even more rental units, making you wealthier over time.

Off-market real estate deals can make you a millionaire in just a few YEARS. Instead of buying the nicest-looking rental property in the best area through a brutal bidding war, David Lecko went the opposite route, purchasing the properties nobody else wanted, finding deals simply by driving for dollars or paying someone else to do so. He went from a burnt-out nine-to-five worker to financial freedom in just two years by following this strategy, and you can do it, too! David was working all day and all night, making a meager salary with almost zero time freedom. His boss, who worked far less than he did, outsourced his business and had rental properties on the side. David knew that to be in the same position, he’d have to mimic his boss’ path to wealth. So, after work, David would drive around his local area, looking for the tallest grass, the biggest roof repairs, and the worst paint jobs. He finally found his first deal, which cost less than a used car, but ended up springboarding David to make millions.

DON’T sell your low-cash flow rental property just yet—you could make it a cash cow with one quick strategy switch. At least that’s Rob Abasolo’s advice as he joins David this Sunday for a Seeing Greene episode, where they take questions directly from BiggerPockets listeners, commenters, and reviewers! And even if you don’t have your first rental in the bag, this episode will be worth tuning into. David and Rob discuss whether buying your first property with a fixed vs. adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) makes more sense with today’s high interest rates. Then, we hear from an investor looking to sell their rentals and move that money into a bigger city with more appreciation potential. The problem? Their rentals are making some serious cash flow. Speaking of cash flow, we hear from an investor who’s got a townhouse that COULD become a rental but would have some meager returns. Is it worth keeping? Tune in to hear answers to all those questions and more! Want to ask David a question? If so, submit your question here so David can answer it on the next episode of Seeing Greene. Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can hop on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot! In This Episode We Cover: How to turn your low-cash flow rental into a passive income machine  Partnering with family members on a rental and how to split the profits  Fixed-rate mortgages vs. adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) and whether the low rate is worth the risk  When to trade your stable, cash-flowing rentals for long-term appreciation in a better market  Why lenders DON’T want you to downgrade to a cheaper primary residence (and how to get around it) And So Much More!

Want a PRACTICAL guide to making six figures in real estate? What about a way to do it in a year or less? That’s precisely what Keith Everett did, trading his sixteen-dollar-an-hour factory job for the potential to make six figures by himself, wholesaling real estate. Keith dropped out of college to work, realizing he made as much at his job as his university professors. After working twelve to sixteen-hour shifts and receiving a ten-cent raise (seriously), Keith knew he needed a way out. Keith purchased a twenty-dollar book on real estate investing and got his first deal soon after. He was flying high, thinking the rest would be easy until the money stopped flowing in, his car got repossessed, his bank account ran low, and his wife was forced to move away for a job that would support the family. This wasn’t Keith’s plan, but he quickly turned things around. Now, Keith runs a real estate business that brings in not just six figures a year but six figures a MONTH. He’s done over 400 deals in the past seven years and went from factory worker to scrappy hustler to CEO. Keith walks through every book he read, course he attended, and skill he learned that took his wealth to the next level. If you follow his practical tips, you could end up right where he is. In This Episode We Cover: How to make six figures a year (or month) by wholesaling real estate Finding your “financial thermostat” and setting it so you save money EVERY month How to fix your credit and the one thing you can do now to boost your score How to go from hustler to CEO and build a business instead of another job  The biggest mistake Keith made when he started making serious money The three things Keith focuses on when doing ANY deal  And So Much More!

The 2023 housing market may be the “toughest real estate market” we’ve ever experienced. But, after this episode, we bet your home offer will get accepted, even during a wild seller’s market, even if you’re not offering the highest bid, and EVEN if this is your first time buying a home. While you may THINK that sellers always choose the “highest and best” offer that comes their way, we have a few experts to prove that that’s rarely the case and how you can win even in an impossible housing market. First-time home buyers and veteran investors alike are feeling the sting from this never-ending sellers market. There are still more buyers than sellers, and bidding wars have come back into fashion. Thankfully, a few quick tips from today’s expert agent, Lindsey Iskierka, and David Greene’s own mortgage broker, Christian Bachelder, can help you win the home you love or your next cash-flowing, equity-boosting investment property. We’ll walk through the five steps ANYONE (yes, even you) can take to put yourself in the BEST position to make a bid on a property, how your lender can ensure you DON’T get squeezed into paying more, and the biggest mistake new home buyers make that are costing them their dream home. Stick around because once you put these tips into practice, you could have too many accepted offers on your hands. In This Episode We Cover: How to get your home offer accepted in 2023, EVEN if you’re not the highest bidder Pre-qualification vs. pre-approval and why you CAN’T mistake the two Why you MUST call your lender before putting in ANY property offer (save THOUSANDS) The “rate stack” that could lead to a lower mortgage rate or a credit to closing costs The powerful negotiation tool that could land you tens of thousands at closing One common “hiccup” you MUST avoid when closing on your next property And So Much More!

Have a rental property? What if you could use it to buy even more rentals, build your real estate portfolio, and have a steady stream of passive income flowing into your bank account? On today’s Seeing Greene, one viewer is asking exactly how to do that, and while his strategy could work, it may not be the best move with mortgage rates so high and deal flow so low. So, what would David do instead? It’s Sunday, so we’re taking listener questions directly from rookies, veteran investors, and those wanting to retire early.

Jason Lewis made it his life’s goal to hit financial freedom by thirty-five. After watching his family go bankrupt, lose their multi-generational farm, and have to give up their dreams, Jason knew that this was NOT what he wanted his future to look like. Instead, Jason would build a multi-million dollar real estate portfolio. One without high risk, high leverage, or a bank breathing down his neck when things went sideways. A portfolio that would make him MILLIONS in tax-free income, using techniques every average American can repeat. Jason quickly learned the right way to use debt. After securing a loan at the young age of seven, Jason started raising hogs. When he became the Grand Champion for hog raising at his local fair, he was given a check for a couple thousand dollars—MORE than enough for any seven-year-old. This lesson later helped Jason repeat the same strategy, but with real estate, always adding value and ALWAYS paying his debts. Jason’s “opportunistic” way of investing allows him to buy anything and everything that makes money. House hacking, fix and flips, mobile homes, and oil and gas leases are just SOME of the asset classes that Jason has invested in. One of these allowed him to make $1.9 million using a strategy that ANYONE listening to this episode can take advantage of. Want to hear how? Stick around! In This Episode We Cover: The danger of “overleveraging” and how it can ruin your chance at financial freedom House hacking and how to make tax-free millions simply by living in your home Syndication hype and why you should NEVER “fake it till you make it” in real estate Jason’s “No B.S.” advice to find real estate deals WHEREVER you are Partnerships and when it’s a wiser move to fly solo in your investing career  And So Much More!

What’s the key to paying fewer taxes? A cost segregation study. Never heard of it? Most real estate investors haven’t, but we’re about to unlock a world of tax-free income earning using this specific tool. If you’ve wondered how the wealthy pay such few taxes while owning million-dollar-producing real estate, this is how. In today’s episode, you’ll learn how to use cost segregation, too, so you can keep more money in your pocket. Taxes aren’t everyone’s favorite subject, but paying fewer taxes? You can probably get behind that. We’ve brought on CPA and CFP Mitchell Baldridge to explain how he helps real estate investors, large and small, delete their taxable income and build their real estate portfolios faster. Our own Rob Abasolo uses Mitchell’s team to cut his taxes down by more than six figures! In this episode, we’ll explain what cost segregation is, why so many top real estate investors use it to lower their taxes, when you can (and can’t) use it on your properties, the short-term rental tax “loophole” to take advantage of, AND what happens when you do it wrong. In This Episode We Cover: How to wipe out your income taxes using cost segregation studies Bonus depreciation and writing off your property faster than before Using real estate losses to lower your W2 or business income The short-term rental “loophole” ANYONE can use to reduce their taxable income Carrying over losses and why top real estate investors will NEVER stop buying property Caveats and pitfalls of cost segregation and when it can come back to bite you And So Much More!

If you know how to use your home equity, you can retire MUCH faster than most Americans. For the majority of homeowners, equity is just something to sit on, not something worth using. But what if you could convert your home equity into rental properties, cash flow, or even more appreciation? Where would you be in a decade if you used your equity to make even more equity in other properties? You could retire early, make more than you’ve ever imagined, and KNOW that your wealth is working FOR you. It’s Sunday, and David remembered to turn his green light on…you know what that means. We’re back with another episode of Seeing Greene, where real estate investors, rookies, and business owners shoot some of their most pressing questions at David. In this show, a young business owner wants to know how to sell (without sounding salesy). Then David describes how to use your home equity to buy even more properties, the best way to pull "wealth" from your rentals, how to retire in ten years, and why no one talks about the “BEAF” strategy of real estate investing.  Want to ask David a question?

2023’s insurance market is bad. Really bad. “As bad as I’ve ever seen,” says Insurance Office of America’s Robert J. Hamilton. He’s never seen home and multifamily insurance prices as high as today. But, he has good reason to believe that a better insurance market could be upon us soon, especially as prices continue to ramp up and providers get priced out of the market.  If you’re a property owner, there’s a good chance your insurance premium increased significantly in price last year and the year before. After several unprecedented natural disasters, states like Texas, Florida, and California have seen carriers massively raise rates or leave their markets entirely. But why now? And how long will this last? Robert walks us through exactly what’s caused the higher insurance rates, why so many carriers have given up or died out, and “the beginning of a reset” that could be on the horizon.

Cash flow “machines” is how Mikey Taylor describes his most recent investments. To the non-investors, the numbers seem too good to be true. But Mikey has repeated this system, again and again, to make millions of dollars off of “boring” investments that most investors overlook. What “cash machines” is Mikey referring to, and how do you go from making $800/month to millions of dollars like he did? Mikey has no degree, full-time job, or wealthy parents to hand him an inheritance. At sixteen, Mikey made it his mission to find sponsors for his skateboarding career. What started as a hobby grew into a profession, but Mikey knew it wouldn’t last. After searching for some other income to support him when his career finally ended, Mikey conveniently stumbled upon real estate—and the rest is history. Since ending his skateboarding career, Mikey has built a brewery, invested in multiple BIG multifamily deals, and started buying the “cash machine” properties so many investors WISH they could get their hands on. If you want to know the strategy behind these bold moves and how you can go from barely scraping by to financial mastery, like Mikey, this is THE episode to watch. In This Episode We Cover: The “cash machine” real estate investments only few investors will buy What REAL passive income looks like and how to start building your income streams today Starting a brewery from scratch and selling it for an almost unbelievable profit The “blue ocean” real estate deals many are too scared to touch Converting Kmarts into self-storage and how much money Mikey makes off of each How to avoid lifestyle inflation when you start making big bucks (so you can invest the rest!)

Small multifamily properties are one of the EASIEST ways to get into real estate investing. But, your market may be a little too pricey or lack the supply for you to invest in these “slam dunk” deals. So, where do you go? We’ve got two elite agents from the South and Midwest that can help YOU get your next killer deal in metro areas that are seeing STRONG demand, renter growth, and rising rents. To tell us about Chicago, the “we don’t actually love deep dish” city, is Dan Nelson. Dan was recently able to access a “private listing” that was severely underpriced. He brought this deal to a rookie client of his, who ended up making a MASSIVE amount of equity on closing. We’ll also chat with Jodi Gauthier, a Houston-based agent who secured a very lucrative seller-financed deal for her client, who couldn’t get a mortgage anywhere else. You might think these deals are too good to be true, ESPECIALLY in 2023’s housing market. But, we’re here to prove that as long as you’re in the right market, running the right numbers, with the right agent, you too can lock down these “slam dunk” small multifamily deals. In This Episode We Cover: Two housing markets with “slam dunk” small multifamily opportunities Metrics to watch BEFORE you invest in a market and how to know your home will appreciate What to do when you CAN’T find cash flow in your area (and whether or not cash flow is worth it) Seller financing and how to buy properties when you can’t get approved for a loan Questions to ask your agent to see whether or not they TRULY know what they’re doing And So Much More!

Soli Cayetano makes over $10K per month in passive income at age twenty-five by buying the rental properties that most investors actively avoid. These properties are often in overlooked markets that aren’t as attractive as San Diego, Miami, Austin, or Seattle, but they make her as much, if not more, money. The houses Soli buys are often $100K or less, meaning almost any investor reading this could come close to buying one. In three years, Soli turned $50K into a $5M real estate portfolio, enough passive income to support her for life, and an online following constantly finding and funding deals for her. She started building her real estate portfolio right after college when lockdowns took away her chance to make any active income. After reading David Greene’s Long-Distance Real Estate Investing and listening to the Real Estate Rookie podcast, Soli scraped together every dollar she had and bought a Midwest rental that needed serious rehab. Now, a few years later, she and her partners own dozens of rentals across multiple markets. As a result, Soli was able to quit her job, focus entirely on real estate, and achieve ultimate time freedom. But will her cash-flow-first model work out in the long run? David goes head to head with Soli in this episode to debate whether or not these “cheap” markets are a mistake to invest in. In This Episode We Cover: Out-of-state investing and where to buy rental properties for just $100K Expensive properties vs. cheap properties and which will really make you richer  Keeping yourself accountable and why you need to tell people your goals to make them happen Raising private money and how Soli got over 800 private investors through Instagram alone  Real estate partnerships and how to grow your portfolio FAR faster by not going solo The battle of the BRRRRs and a David vs. Soli debate over which markets make the most money  And So Much More!

And if you’re ready to buy or sell a home this year, we have good/bad news for you (depending on what you’re doing) as Goldman Sachs releases their newest home price predictions for 2023 and 2024.  In This Episode We Cover: The multibillion-dollar lawsuits that could create HUGE hurdles for first-time home buyers Deflation concerns and whether or not inflation could reverse entirely Home price predictions and why the housing market could fall flat MLS (multiple listing service) cyberattacks that are holding real estate agents hostage Why institutional investors want to END buyer’s agents and take over home buying And So Much More!

Jason Lee owns more rental properties than most full-time real estate investors. But, he didn’t do this by investing after the last housing crash, inheriting millions from his parents, or buying a hundred-unit apartment building at once. Actually, Jason seemed like the least likely person to end up as a big earner. He was raised in a household where finances were a constant source of contention, and he only went to college to play sports. Jason’s parents gave him one choice: become a doctor, lawyer, or other high-skilled professional, so he wouldn’t have to struggle like they did. After scraping through pre-med classes, living in the library, and dedicating all his time to school, he thought what every real estate investor thinks, “Maybe this isn’t the right path.” After having a sudden mental breakthrough, Jason knew he couldn’t continue. So what did he do instead? Real estate. He was working (for free) four days a week and going to school two just to level up his skills so that he could finally do what he loved when he graduated. His first deal almost blew up, he almost quit, and he got six figures stolen from him, but Jason is now back on top, only three years after graduating, with a portfolio in the eight figures. How’d he do it so fast? Stick around and find out.  In This Episode We Cover Quitting a (potential) career to focus on what will REALLY build your wealth  How non-stop rejection allowed Jason to become one of the most successful brokers/investors in his area  Why working for free has a far higher ROI than most college students think Investing in an expensive market and why “cash flow” doesn’t matter  How to NOT get scammed by a contractor and signs yours is stealing money  Jason’s “formula for underwriting” and what he looks at most when doing deals  And So Much More!

Just six years ago, Corey Kent was a broke college graduate, renting out half of a room to save money, eating the same meal every day of the week. His dream was to make a living as a musician without selling out. Now, most country music fans know Corey's name and his platinum record speaks for itself. But what you don’t know is that Corey fueled his music career thanks to a handful of properties he bought years ago. Corey’s side project real estate portfolio allowed him to launch his music career, make passive income when times got tough, and fall on his feet when the world was shut down. Corey was looking to invest in property at just seventeen years old, but when a bank turned him away, he had to change his entire mindset and learn the personal finance game from a very early age. After his grandfather taught him the do’s and don’ts of buying raw land, Corey slowly built his real estate portfolio. At this time, Corey was below the poverty line, sleeping in his truck and saving whatever money he could to invest. He continued to buy property, EVEN when times were tight, successfully using his passive income to help him leapfrog into later becoming a chart-topping musician who now can follow his one true passion.  In This Episode We Cover: Investing in real estate when you have low (or no) credit  Buying land and the rule of thumb that Corey ALWAYS follows before he invests  Corey’s “side project” passive real estate portfolio that helps pay for his lifestyle  How one rental property saved Corey’s family when the lockdowns began  Why real estate DOESN’T need to be your passion to build passive income  And So Much More!
