BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast

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.

So, if you’ve been saving up to buy your next deal but can’t find anything worth investing in around your area, check out ANY of these eight markets because if you don’t buy in them, we will (and Henry already has)!

In This Episode We Cover:

Eight boring, stable, cash-flowing real estate markets you can invest in NOW

The East Coast beach city with MASSIVE population growth and cheap home prices

The college football towns where you can make a killing on student housing

Staying away from single-industry markets and what happens when employment starts to fall

The state pushing for zero percent state tax that could see a significant population boost

The growing city where Henry is gobbling up rental properties as fast as he can

And So Much More!

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 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:

Why you should stop caring so much about cash flow and focus on THIS instead

What to do with “trapped capital” in your properties and how to make more money to invest

BRRRRing vs. flipping in 2023 (and which one Kevin HATES)

The investing “advantage” you might not even know you have

Partnership problems and the one real estate investment Kevin won’t touch 

Using private money to fund your down payment (and Kevin’s STRONG opinion on this)

And So Much More!

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? 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 turn your home into a rental property and investing in expensive areas

When you should (and definitely shouldn’t) use a HELOC to fund your rental property purchase

The super passive short-term rental “reverse” arbitrage model most landlords don’t know about

Scaling your real estate portfolio even when you’re out of capital

Inherited properties and how to make hands-off cash flow

The smartest ways to fund rental property repairs and renovations

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!)

And So Much More!

“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. So, how do you know if selling and swapping is the best move to make? Or, if you do sell, could you be missing out on even more wild appreciation potential? Let’s find out!

Welcome back to Seeing Greene, where your investor, agent, lender, big guy at the gym who helps you with your form, and mentor, David Greene, is here to answer your real estate investing questions.

Then, David shows you exactly where to find rental property leases, when pulling out equity may not be a good idea, what to do when you CAN’T get home insurance, and how to calculate depreciation on your next rental.

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!

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.

In today’s episode, David will walk through EXACTLY how to find off-market real estate deals the RIGHT way, how to get around the lazy lists that most off-market investors use, and how to turn a few properties into millions of dollars of wealth and close to six figures a year in passive income. And in today’s tough housing market, finding deals like these is even MORE crucial. So, what are you waiting for? Financial freedom is only a couple of years away!

In This Episode We Cover:

How to reach financial freedom in just a couple of years by buying off-market real estate 

Driving for dollars and using this strategy to find massively underpriced deals

Outsourcing your deal finding so you can drive less and make more money

Building your off-market deal list and how many houses it’ll take to get your first payday 

To BRRRR or not to BRRRR and why NO cash flow isn’t always a bad thing 

And So Much More!

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. In this episode, David pokes holes in the “cash-out refinance to buy a new property” strategy. We also hear from two late starters who want to get a jump on their retirement, a burnt-out property manager looking for the best way to scale, an equity-heavy investor who’s debating buying a rental or lending out his money, and a reviewer who was scammed by the real estate “gurus.”

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 use your home equity to buy more rental properties and build a real estate portfolio

How to retire early, build a nest egg, and create cash flow as a late starter

Scaling your real estate business and whether you have what it takes to do so

The real estate “gurus” who will take your money and run (and telltale signs of a scam)

Why quitting your job for real estate isn’t a smart move to make (especially in 2023)

Private money lending vs. property investing and which will make you more money

And So Much More!

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? 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 retire in ten years (or less) by investing in rental properties in THESE areas

Turning your home equity into more real estate and investor-only loans most don’t know about

Extracting the wealth you’ve built without the tax man taking your gains

Rental property upgrades that are ALWAYS worth the money (and which to skip)

The new “BEAF” real estate investing strategy that says “NO” to cash flow

Ryan Tseko became a multifamily millionaire by his mid-thirties after giving up his previous career to invest. By the time Ryan was thirty, he already had twenty-one rental units, paid off over six figures in student debt, and used his pilot job to scope out new property markets. Everything was going to plan until a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity presented itself. Ryan left everything and made the jump.

But how did Ryan end up in his multi-millionaire position? How did he go from house hacking “crash pads” for pilots to helping manage one of the largest real estate portfolios in the country? A better question—how did a commercial pilot become Grant Cardone’s right-hand man? Ryan’s story is unbelievable, but it’s true.

In today’s episode, Ryan will share why he gave up his high-paid job to bust his butt working for Cardone Capital, why Grant Cardone told him to sell his ENTIRE real estate portfolio, and the two-minute deal analysis Ryan does that instantly tells him whether a property is worth pursuing. Ryan proves ANYONE can go from nothing to much more than something—and you can, too!

In This Episode We Cover:

Becoming a millionaire by your mid-thirties and turning active income into passive income 

House hacking, “crash pads,” and how to make money off of your first home

Paying off six figures in student debt and why you MUST be frugal at the beginning of your investing career 

Millionaire tips from Grant Cardone and what to do when your property ISN’T profiting 

The two-minute deal analysis Ryan uses at Cardone Capital EVERY day 

And So Much More!

Can you start real estate investing in your 40s, 50s, or 60s? We’re here to prove that it’s 100% possible, even if you have zero real estate experience or feel like you’re getting a “late start” to rental properties. You don’t need a lot to begin, and if you have some of the basics down, you can go from zero rental properties to twenty like today’s guest, Kim Woolf Bosler, who started her real estate portfolio at age fifty-six, with six children and twenty grandchildren!

But before we get into Kim’s fast-paced property story, we’ll chat with Kyle Mast, the financially-free CFP (certified financial planner) who already achieved financial independence with the help of real estate investing. Kyle is here to help show that even if you don’t have millions of dollars in the bank or rental property experience, you can STILL invest, no matter your age. He’ll talk about where to pull money from, how to increase your income in retirement, home equity, and more!

After some solid tips from Kyle, Kim will share her story of going from primary residence owner to building a portfolio of twenty properties in a VERY short amount of time. Now she has the flexibility to live every day as she chooses and use all her extra income to spend time with her BIG family! You can copy Kim’s exact strategy by tuning into today’s episode!

How to start investing in real estate in your 40s, 50s, or 60s

Using your retirement accounts (like 401(k)s) to buy your first rental property

Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) and leveraging yours to invest

1031 exchanges and turning taxable gains into a tax-free “dream house”

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.

Andrew Cushman, long-time friend of the show and multifamily investor, gives his seven quick tips on finding a better rate and protecting your property if and when disaster strikes. DO NOT analyze another deal before you watch this episode because, by the time you finish, your new insurance rate could ruin the profit potential. 

In This Episode We Cover:

The wild 2023 insurance crisis explained and why rates have gone up so dramatically

The “capacity crunch” forcing insurance carriers to leave risky markets 

What’s causing rates to rise and the “reinsurance” problem carriers face 

Underwriting your next rental/multifamily and how to properly predict property insurance costs 

The safest states/areas to invest in that carriers are flocking to 

The “percentage deductible” trap that could bankrupt your deal if you aren’t careful

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!)

And So Much More!

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!

Don’t know how to invest in real estate? If you’ve got $20K (or less) sitting around, there’s a good chance that you could start TODAY. With home prices still sky-high and most Americans under the impression that buying is out of the picture, David Greene comes in to save the day with the “sneaky rental tactic” that can help you start building a real estate portfolio for less than it costs to buy a car!

Welcome back to the long-awaited return of Seeing Greene. We’ve taken some of the BEST questions from BiggerPockets listeners just like you and rapid-fired them at David to get his take. In this show, a military couple is looking to start investing but doesn’t know where to begin. A wholesaler wants to buy rentals with a partner but doesn’t know how they should form an LLC. A high-earner debates whether a “luxury house hack” is worth the extra money. Finally, an active-duty family debates selling their homes, and a deputy sheriff wants to know where best to put her leftover cash from a home sale.

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!

“Luxury house hacking” and why buying better properties may be worth the lower cash flow

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!

Home prices are about to slowly slump, real estate agents get their listings held for ransom, “deflation” concerns begin to grow, and multibillion-dollar lawsuits could change real estate investing forever. In other news, it’s just another day in the 2023 housing market. Some say the sky is falling, others are optimistic, but what do the equally named yet unequally-haired Daves think will happen? Tune into this BiggerNews to find out!

David Greene and Dave Meyer are reviewing some top headlines on today’s real estate market. Whether you love them or not, real estate agents are at the center of this episode as new lawsuits and cybersecurity attacks put their careers at risk. And this is no exaggeration—one of these stories could foreshadow “the beginning of the end” for real estate as we know it, and David has some strong opinions to share.

We’ll also touch on how “deflation” could push prices down as the US economy enters shaky territory and what would have to happen for us to realize this notorious economic event. 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!

Real estate investing is changing. Builders aren’t building what buyers and renters want, insurance companies are pulling out of top investing states, and property threats are growing increasingly common. This may sound like doom and gloom to you, but in reality, it’s keeping your competition out of the game, and if you use the advice on today’s show, you could build wealth while most cower in fear.

Seeing Greene is back again as David is on to give his time-tested wisdom to every real estate investor on the planet. But he’s got backup. Rob hangs around on this episode, and special guest Dana Bull, the “know when to stop” investor, is here to drop some knowledge bombs. We take viewer questions like whether you should buy one pricey property or a handful of smaller rentals, what to do when a property you’re buying has an illegal ADU (accessory dwelling unit), why insurance companies are leaving states like California, Florida, and Texas, and what’s the BEST property type to 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 hop on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot!

In This Episode We Cover:

The real estate “red pill” you must swallow if you want to become wealthy 

Why knowing your “why” is overrated, but having THIS goal isn’t

The three rules of real estate and why you should NEVER skip any of them

Going big vs. small on your first rental property and the “jump-start” plan you’ll need

Illegal additions and ADUs and whether or not a home is worth buying with one

Insurance problems and why policies are being dropped in high-risk states

The one property type you should focus on when buying in 2023

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!
