BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast

Rental properties and early retirement go together like peanut butter and jelly. If you want to leave your nine-to-five behind, make six figures, and have ultimate time freedom, real estate investing may be your best bet. But, with so many influencers constantly pushing “more doors,” it seems like real estate is becoming a death race to retirement, not something that grants total financial freedom. If you want to ACTUALLY retire early, with fewer headaches, and a lot of passive income, Chad “Coach” Carson is who you should listen to.

For the past year, Chad and his family have been living abroad in Spain. He’s taken time to learn Spanish, lounge around, and have a siesta while his rental properties create his passive income. The best part? Chad spends two hours (yes, TWO) a week running his rental property portfolio. But Chad didn’t need to build a real estate portfolio of a billion units to accomplish his goal of ultimate time flexibility. Instead, he built a “small and mighty” portfolio.

In today’s episode, Chad walks through how to build a rental property portfolio that will help you reach financial freedom without owning hundreds of units. He also uncovers why debt and leverage aren’t always the best option and why you should pay off your properties before they’re due! You can learn more about Chad’s exact strategy in his new book, “The Small and Mighty Real Estate Investor.” Use promo code “SMALL795” for a special discount!

In This Episode We Cover:

How to retire early with rental properties and only work two hours per week

When to take profits and when to reinvest in your portfolio

Delayed gratification and why you SHOULD take “mini-retirements” on the road to financial freedom

The five most commonly believed myths about building a real estate portfolio 

Paying off your rentals early and the double benefit of being debt-free

And So Much More!

Is your market worth buying in? With the economy on shaky footing, now ISN’T the time to guess. And once you find your investing area, how do you ensure your rental property will profit? Even in 2023, when cash flow is low, and home prices are high, it doesn’t take long to determine whether a rental is worth your money (or time). And, if you’re still trying to get your FIRST real estate deal, odds are you’re probably spending HOURS finding deals and crunching numbers. So let’s speed up the process. 

In this webinar bonus, Dave Meyer, BiggerPockets VP of Data and Analytics and On the Market host, will walk through EXACTLY how to analyze a rental property in minutes, the tools he uses to calculate cash flow, cash on cash return, and more, and how to know whether or not a real estate market is worth investing in. With mortgage rates rising and affordability at historic lows, Dave was STILL able to find a property that produced positive cash flow. So, if Dave can find a deal like this, why can’t you? Stick around to learn how to calculate rental property profits in MINUTES and which markets are worth the money.

Creative finance is a home-buying hack that most people don’t know about. If you know what it is and how to use it, you can pick up properties for only a hundred dollars, build your rental portfolio faster than ever, and reach financial freedom in mere years. And in 2023, when the housing market is still hot, and home prices have barely cooled off, creative finance could be the solution to no cash flow and overpriced deals. But before you creatively finance your next rental property, you’ll need to know which strategy to use and when to use it. 

Jenn and Joe Delle Fave used creative finance to move from snowy Upstate New York to sunny Florida after escaping soul-crushing work. Jenn, a former teacher, loved her career, and the time she spent with her kids. But Joe was stuck at the car dealership, working late into the night, sacrificing family time to make more money. He knew he needed a way out but didn’t want to give up the financial security of a W2. Everything changed when he had the “light bulb” moment to try creative finance.

Now, Jenn and Joe have run a full-time investing business, picking up pristine properties using strategies like seller financing, subject to, or wrap mortgages. They’ve acquired properties for very little down in some of the most competitive neighborhoods in the country, growing wealth WITH the time freedom they desired. Jenn and Joe give invaluable advice on which strategies work for which seller, the easiest way to get leads sent to you, and how you build wealth with real estate faster. 

In This Episode We Cover:

The EASIEST way to get dozens of off-market properties sent to you EVERY DAY

The best creative financing strategies and when to use each

Wrap mortgages explained and taking advantage of someone else’s low mortgage rate 

Time freedom and the “golden handcuffs” that stop you from accomplishing your dreams

The one thing you should ask EVERY seller before you buy a property 

Investing with a spouse and the benefits of building a business together

And So Much More!

Want to know how to start a business? One that will help you reach financial freedom, find purpose, and give you more opportunity to spend time with your family? Those are the reasons why almost all of us get into real estate investing, and while having a couple of rentals may not sound like a business to you, running your portfolio like a business will have immeasurable effects on your life. But first, you’ll need to know how the pros build businesses.

Gary Harper, esteemed business coach, went from a rental property investor shooing away copper thieves to Fortune 500 executive and now teaches other entrepreneurs how to do the same.

In this special edition of Seeing Greene, David and Rob will take listener questions on starting a business, building a rental property portfolio, real estate partnerships, and what parents should do when entering the high-stress world of entrepreneurship. You’ll also hear why being fixated on profit could be a BIG mistake. All that and more are coming up in this episode!

In This Episode We Cover:

Going from employee to entrepreneur and what to focus on when building a business

Scaling a busy business and how to start outsourcing and automating tasks you don’t want to do

Nate Shields and Troy Zimmerman had a straightforward goal: get to one hundred rental units in ten years. Now, near the halfway mark, Nate and Troy have made almost unbelievable progress in a real estate market most investors perceive as radioactive. With overpriced properties everywhere you look, out-of-whack cash flow, and high mortgage rates, will good deals ever come back? Thankfully for Nate and Troy, finding a deal was never the assignment; making a deal was.

After going through difficult partnerships in the past, Nate and Troy were hesitant to hop in the game together. But after years of getting to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses, it was only natural for them to tackle big deals together instead of small deals apart. Now, with forty rental units under their belt, they’re well on their way to hitting their hundred-unit goal. But this wouldn’t have worked out if they hadn’t made one special phone call.

In this episode, Nate and Troy will review their most recent acquisition, a fourteen-unit apartment complex with tricky financing in northwest Alabama. They’ll also share how calling one desperate listing agent unlocked a deal flow that brought dozens of units directly to them. If you’re struggling to invest in today’s demanding market and don’t think there are any deals worth the effort, this episode could change everything for you.

In This Episode We Cover:

The “desperate” real estate deals that NOBODY is looking at (and where to find them)

Real estate partnerships and why investing together beats going at it alone 

Exit strategies and the BIG mistake most partnerships make when getting started 

Why you might be just one phone call away from the best real estate deal of your life

Seller financing and how to use it to lower your loan costs and get a tricky deal done

Raising private capital and who you should (and shouldn’t) accept money from 

And So Much More!

Want a zero percent interest rate and a paid-off seven-figure property? What about a quick fix and flip that’ll net you six figures in profits? Or, maybe buy an office and make nearly half a million dollars while having your own workplace? It’s 2023, and the housing market has turned most real estate investors off. Everyone thinks that deals are impossible to find, but funnily enough, we keep hearing stories about real estate investors making massive profits while residential buyers cower in fear. So, where can you find these deals?

We’ve brought back Kim Meredith-Hampton and Victor Steffen from the Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida, area and the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, markets, respectively. Plus, Matthew Nicklin from southern seller’s market, Atlanta, Georgia, joins us as we review real deals from all three markets to show you that no matter the housing market cycle, you can STILL make money in real estate (even in 2023!)

We’ll go over six individual deals, from turnkey medium-term rentals selling at zero percent mortgage rates (with seller financing) to easy, instant cash flow deals with perfect tenants in place. But maybe you’re not a buy and hold investor. If so, a couple of flip deals are brought on to show that six-figure profit potential still exists for the right properties. And, we’ll deep dive into one of the agent’s commercial real estate deals that made nearly half a million dollars in equity alone!

In This Episode We Cover:

Three hot southern housing markets where you can still find real estate deals 

Signs of a stable market and why you want to see faster home sales 

Seller financing and how to use it to score a rock-bottom mortgage rate on your next rental 

How to use private lending to make a killing without getting your hands dirty on a deal

“Office hacking” and turning unused space into cash flow and HUGE equity gains 

Paying off your property faster and why having little-to-no cash flow may be worth an earlier retirement 

And So Much More!

Real estate deals are hard to come by in 2023. But, there are still a few overlooked rental markets that most investors aren’t aware of. In times like this, with investors ready to pounce on almost any property and other assets vastly underperforming real estate, you’ll need to think differently if you want to get ahead. Long gone are the days of buying any property in any market and expecting instant cash flow. Now, you’ve got to think like an expert investor and start Seeing Greene!

David is back with another Seeing Greene episode as we touch on how investors can find deals in 2023, which markets are worth looking into, why low cash flow isn’t such a bad thing, and how to decide between buying a single-family or a multifamily rental. We’ve also got some trickier-than-usual questions this time, as a seventeen-year-old wants to know where he should invest a $100K inheritance. We’ll also get into the nitty gritty of paying off loans vs. refinancing, where to find distressed properties, and what to do when natural disasters threaten your rental business.

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:

Emerging real estate markets that most investors overlook 

Low cash flow and whether a rental is worth buying if it only profits a few hundred dollars a month

How to spend a $100K inheritance and why real estate ISN’T the best choice 

BRRRR deals and how to find distressed properties that have huge equity potential 

Hard and private money loans, interest-only payments, and when to pay off your debt 

Single-family homes vs. multifamily and which makes the most money with the lowest down payment 

Natural disasters and whether or not it’s worth it to invest in dangerous areas 

And So Much More!

Lamon Woods used an ingenious rental property strategy to go from one house to over one hundred rentals in a small market without using almost any cash. This strategy is so brilliant that most real estate investors assume it doesn’t exist or they can’t use it in their rental property portfolio. Lamon luckily stumbled upon this way to invest, and now, he’s growing his real estate portfolio at a pace unfathomable to most landlords.

But Lamon didn’t start as some rental property investing expert. He was making a low income, working a job he had no passion for, and looking for any avenue that could help make him more money. When his wife suggested that they buy the house they were currently renting, Lamon put up a fight but eventually went along with the plan. It wasn’t until he moved out and rented his first home that the real estate investing lightbulb went off.

From there, Lamon realized how quickly passive income could replace his paycheck. So, he made it his goal to buy one house a year. The plan was working, but then Lamon realized he could purchase homes without using his own money. In fact, Lamon could take the properties he already owned and use them to grow his rental property portfolio even faster. Now with over one hundred units to his name, Lamon wants to teach other investors (like you) how to do the same!

In This Episode We Cover:

Lamon’s “infinite return” financing method that’ll let you buy properties with NO money down

“Cross collateralization” and how to use properties you already own to build your rental property portfolio

Knowing your real estate market and why over-improving will kill your cash flow 

Replacing your paycheck with passive income and going from renter to landlord 

Getting around your lender's seasoning period and how to use your equity WITHOUT having to wait 

And So Much More!

Brandon Turner is back! That’s right, live from the Sea Shed are your beloved BiggerPockets hosts, Brandon and David! Can you feel the bromance brewing through your speakers, or is it just us? David flew out to attend one of Brandon’s recent events and conduct a two-part interview with one of the most popular property investors on the planet! And boy, oh boy, has Brandon been busy!

In this episode, David puts Brandon in the hot seat, going through a fire round of top-asked questions to get Brandon’s input on not just real estate but life. You’ll hear Brandon talk about housing market crash prophecies and whether or not he thinks they’ll come true, the struggles he’s facing with today’s intense competition, an unflattering tattoo that may or may not be part of a bet gone wrong, and why humiliation is one of the BEST ways to get you in the zone to WIN.

But that’s not all; you’ll hear about how Brandon used social media to build his entire real estate business, why NOW is the time to lock down good debt (and invest!), and why you need to STOP trying to survive and start looking to thrive! Tune in as we take a nostalgic walk down metaphor lane with Brandon and David!

In This Episode We Cover:

Finding financial freedom and why the everyday struggle to survive is NOT enough

Investing in 2023 and whether or not the housing market could be headed for a crash

Using social media to raise private capital, find employees, and grow your business

Facing humiliation and transforming negative emotions into the fire that propels you forward

Why you can’t buy happiness, but you CAN buy an “environment” that makes you happy 

An update on Brandon’s bet with InvestorGirlBritt over who will get an embarrassing new tattoo 

And So Much More!

Want to make over a million dollars a year? Real estate may be the best way to get there. Just follow the same steps Dean Rogers took. In just a decade, Dean went from making $65,000 per year to over a million dollars; but the payoff wasn’t instantaneous. After being put in a position that most people would kill to be in, Dean left behind a seven-figure salary, glitz, glamor, fame, and a childhood dream to do something that fulfilled him. He had to start over entirely while his peers made more money than most of us could imagine.

Dean took over a ninety-percent pay cut just to enter the tireless, W2 working world that he thought he would excel in. After realizing that hard work and continuous overachieving gets you nothing but a meager pay raise, he knew he had to go in another direction. He stumbled upon a real estate podcast, started investing with no money (seriously!), and grew a small side hustle into a full-on business that pays him as much as only professional athletes make.

Dean’s story goes from riches to rags to riches again as he left his dangerous yet high-paying career to live paycheck to paycheck doing something that he knew would pay off Now, he rakes in more money in one year than most Americans make in a decade, controlling his own life, putting his health and family first, and helping new investors, like you, along the way. Want to make your millions? Tune in! 

In This Episode We Cover:

How Dean does over 100 real estate deals per year and profits seven figures

Walking away from a high salary when you know that the career isn’t worth the cash

Investing with no money and how to do your first deal without ANY experience

Why you should always make this ONE phone call before partnering with anyone

Losing six figures on bad deals and red flags that you should look out for

Building your “friends with benefits” that all build wealth together

And So Much More!

You’ve built a sizable rental property portfolio; now, it’s time to relax. You book a trip to the beach, get on your swimsuit, and are about to head out the door, but then, your tenant calls you. “The toilet is leaking,” “I lost my keys,” “The oven just went out.” Instead of enjoying your vacation, you’re spending hours looking up plumbers, locksmiths, and electricians. You’re juggling phone calls while trying to enjoy your time off. Wasn’t real estate investing supposed to be passive?

This is the scenario that most landlords are living in. And it only gets worse the more homes you buy and the more money you make. But, there is a way never to pick up another tenant phone call again while giving your renters the best experience imaginable. All you have to do is build a system like Pasha Maleknia did. Pasha went from 218 tenant phone calls a year to only one by creating and tweaking this passive income system. In today’s episode, he’ll provide the exact steps so you can do it too.

Pasha’s system isn’t complex, and most of it can be built for free. There’s no expensive software or complicated formulas to create this rental portfolio system. If you have some time to set aside from your day, you can build something like this in a matter of hours. So, are you ready to trade tenant phone calls for more trips to the beach? If so, stick around!

Grab Pasha’s system spreadsheet template here.

In This Episode We Cover:

The five-step system to turn a nightmare rental portfolio into truly passive income

Why you DON’T need to spend a lot of money or time building a rental systems

Finding your “why” behind real estate investing and financial freedom

How Henry Washington saved over twenty hours immediately by implementing one super simple system

The two things you need to build any system quickly and cheaply

And So Much More!

The real estate market is crumbling…or is it? According to experienced investors like Jessie Rodriguez, now is one of the best times in recent memory to start building wealth. As a multi-decade house-flipping veteran, Jessie understands how the housing market works. He lost his business, his home, and the majority of his wealth in 2007 but has made it out not only surviving but thriving with a house-flipping business that prints cash. And he knows something that you probably don’t.

The past few years have been a bloodbath for flippers. With home prices correcting and buyers fleeing the market, many flippers from years back aren’t around today. But, the tide has started to turn, and buyers are getting back into bidding wars, willing to spend good money on homes that fit their remote-first lifestyle. Jessie and his team are HEAVILY capitalizing on this, and more good news may be on the way.

In this episode, Jessie talks about rebuilding his business after losing it all in 2007, why now may be one of the BEST times to start house flipping, key indicators of a market shift that most investors miss, the biggest myth in today’s real estate space, and how Jessie’s team is redeveloping a historic building and turning it into a passive income stream that offers millions in profits. The best part? You can copy Jessie’s strategy to build your own wealth in 2023, so don’t skip this!

In This Episode We Cover:

Rebuilding your wealth after losing EVERYTHING in a financial crash 

The biggest myth of 2023 real estate and why most investors are wasting time 

Signs of a housing market shift and the metrics that predict where we’re headed 

Finding a mentor and how the right one can put you decades beyond the competition 

Redeveloping historic real estate and the unusual deals that are making Jessie a fortune 

Building a seven-figure passive income stream, EVEN if you’re new to rentals 

And So Much More!

Commercial real estate has been teetering on the edge of crash territory for months now. With banks tightening their funding, forcing investors to refinance at higher rates and occupancy down across multiple sectors, commercial could be crashing very soon. But we aren’t here to prompt fear for real estate investing; instead, we’re presenting some opportunities to build wealth, even when most investors think the sky is falling.

To help give us a read on the whole commercial real estate situation is Willy Walker, CEO of Walker & Dunlop, one of the largest commercial real estate finance companies in the nation. Willy knows precisely what’s happening in the industry because he is the industry. As the third largest apartment lender in the US, valued at over $2 billion, Willy’s ability to forecast the commercial real estate market has helped Walker & Dunlop grow to new heights. And he has some news to share.

Willy touches on the “pain to come” for commercial real estate, why residential has stayed safe, big investors’ refinancing dilemma, and why banks are pulling out of lending for large assets. With commercial investors needing cash to fund their deals but failing to find it, everyday investors (just like you) could help fill the void and walk away with a sizable profit. If you want to fuel your wealth, not your fear, stick around!  

In This Episode We Cover:

The impending commercial real estate crash and who’s in danger 

Balloon loans, risky refinances, and why high mortgage rates have put investors in a tough spot

Residential vs. commercial real estate and why one can fall while the other holds strong

Private lending and how you can take advantage of banks pulling back from larger investments 

Asset classes that could have the biggest opportunity if a crash hits 

US debt and how increasing the debt ceiling will lead to unmanageable consequences 

And So Much More!

Your real estate cash flow is suffering. Rent growth is slowing, mortgage rates are rising, and property prices are staying put. So where can you find more room to profit with your rental property? The answer is medium-term rentals! Until a couple of years ago, medium-term rentals, also called corporate rentals or traveling nurse rentals, were the sleepy investing strategy that only experienced investors like Jesse Vasquez knew about. But now, they’ve become (arguably) the best rental property on the planet.

With medium-term rentals, you can often make four (or more) times the rent than a regular rental. You’ll also have minimal turnover, more professional tenants, and be able to book out your place at a high monthly rate for four, five, or six months at a time. They’re easier to manage than short-term rentals but have substantially more cash flow than long-term rentals. So, how do you get in on this high-cash flow craze?

We brought Jesse back to the show for a step-by-step tutorial on starting, running, and profiting with a medium-term rental. He gives in-depth answers on how much it costs to start, the best locations to buy (or rent), how to get the biggest rental contracts from top corporations, amenities guests will expect, and what to charge. If you want to take your rental property from break-even to making bank, this is the strategy for you!

In This Episode We Cover:

The medium-term rental strategy explained and how to use it to make 400% more cash flow

Short-term rental regulations and why many hosts may need to switch to medium-term stays

Best real estate markets for medium-term rentals and signs of low vacancy

The key to financial freedom? Work as a pizza delivery driver! Not only will you learn how to handle high-pressure situations, but you might also find your next property on a regular pizza run! At least that’s what Pamela Bardhi did to build her twenty-seven-unit rental property portfolio and reach financial independence in her late twenties! Pamela’s family moved to the United States when she was just five years old, thrusting her into the restaurant business before she realized that real estate was her true passion.

Pamela did everything right. She studied hard, got scholarships, worked at internships, and built her own business, but she was still miserable. Working every day of the week, often twelve hours at a time, was eating away at her. She wanted some side income to help her dial back the time spent building her business, but when her first deal turned into a $100,000 profit, the property game was too enticing to resist. Since then, she’s scaled to massive heights and wants you to do the same.

With twenty-seven rental units, over one hundred deals done, and a financially free lifestyle by thirty-one, Pamela knows what it takes to build a property portfolio FAST. But she also knows what can make it crumble. Pamela shares her three BIGGEST lessons learned from doing over one hundred deals and how she turned delivering pizzas into a passive income stream that will create generational wealth for her whole family.

In This Episode We Cover:

How to reach financial independence with rentals in under ten years 

The three biggest lessons every real estate investor must learn to NOT get burnt on a deal

Passive vs. active income and why the investor life isn’t for everyone 

Becoming your own boss and quitting corporate to do what truly fuels you

How the right mentor can immensely speed up your road to early retirement 

Real estate partnership red flags that’ll lead to you losing money or pulling your hair out 

And So Much More!

 If you want to build a rental portfolio, you need to know how to scale the right way. Buying a property every year or two is good, but it won’t give you the financial freedom you desire. However, if you know how to double, triple, or quadruple the amount of real estate you’re acquiring without adding tons of tasks (or stress) to your plate, you could be financially independent faster than you’ve ever thought. This is precisely what Niti Jamdar & Palak Shah did, building a ten-million-dollar real estate portfolio in less than a decade.

As two burnt-out corporate workers, Niti and Palak were tired of putting their jobs before their future family. So after having children, they realized it was time to start building something that would help them regain their freedom instead of shackling them to golden handcuffs. With a busy schedule and little time, Niti and Palak were forced to automate, delegate, and systematize their real estate business. And now, you can copy their exact steps.

In their newest book, Accelerate Your Real Estate: Build a Hands-Off Rental Portfolio with the SCALE Strategy, Niti and Palak uncover the five-step system to unlock eight-figure wealth. They used this same strategy to build their portfolio with little free time or money to throw at projects. In this episode, they’ll review these five BRRRR-inspired steps, explain why today’s market isn’t what most people think it is, and debunk the myths that’ll stop you from investing.

In This Episode We Cover:

The five-step “SCALE” system Niti and Palak used to build an eight-figure portfolio 

Quitting corporate to find financial freedom, start a family, and build wealth 

BRRRRing in 2023 and why the Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat strategy isn’t dead

Investing with high mortgage rates and why inexperienced investors are wrong about them

Outsourcing, delegating, and how to run a HUGE portfolio without any employees 

Real estate myths that stop you from building wealth (and how to get around them)

And So Much More!

Think it’s too late to retire with real estate? Maybe you’re in your forties, fifties, or sixties and have decided that now is the time to put passive income first. With retirement coming up in a couple of decades (or even years), what can you do to build the nest egg that’ll allow you to enjoy your time away from work? Is it even possible to retire with rentals if you didn’t start in your twenties or thirties? For those tired of the traditional route to retirement, stick around!

You’ve hit the jackpot on this Seeing Greene show; it’s episode number 777! But, unlike a casino, everything here is free, and we’re NOT asking you to gamble away your life savings. Instead, David will touch on some of the most crucial questions about real estate investing. From building your retirement with rentals to investing in “cheap” out-of-state markets, buying mobile homes as vacation rentals, and why you CAN’T control cash flow, but you can control something MUCH more important.

You’ve heard cash flow stories before, but NOTHING like this. We’ve talked to hundreds of investors that have flipped houses, bought apartment complexes, storage facilities, and more. But a high school? A high school rental property? Surely this has to be a first. If you want to know the pioneer behind this absolutely insane passive income project, look no further than Jesse Wig, who turned a dilapidated high school into a thirty-one-unit apartment building.

But before Jesse went on a literal wild ride through this high school, he faced defeats that would stop most investors in their tracks. After making just ten dollars per hour working under a flipper, Jesse tried to do his first deal himself, but things didn’t go to plan. He walked away from his first real estate deal in debt with a massive loss but decided to try again. Jesse learned quickly from his mistakes and started buying rentals in an up-and-coming area right outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 

Through a brilliant investing tactic that we’ve never heard of before, Jesse was able to catapult and control his rental properties’ values, skyrocketing his personal wealth while bringing up an entire neighborhood with him. Soon after that, he found his off-market high school and, through some savvy partnerships and serious work, turned it into a cash cow unlike anything we’ve ever seen on the show. Jesse is about to school us on the right way to do real estate!

Rent prices have steadily risen for as long as we can remember. But, few of us would have ever expected the unimaginable rent hikes of 2020-2022. With major metros seeing double-digit year-over-year rent percentage bumps, residents were forced to throw a larger chunk of their income toward housing. Now, with higher rent prices than ever before, America has become “rent-burdened,” and a dangerous threshold has been crossed.

What’s causing this rise in rents? Are investors to blame? And what’s a solution that could benefit builders, buyers, and renters? We’ve got Lu Chen and Thomas LaSalvia from Moody’s Commercial Real Estate division to give us their findings. Lu and Thomas’s team have been tracking rent prices carefully, logging which cities have seen the most significant price increases, which are becoming increasingly unaffordable, and what can be done about the problem. With a lack of housing supply and inflation eating away Americans’ income, what can everyday investors like us do?

Thankfully, there is a solution to this problem that could help curb unaffordability while presenting a profit for investors. Lu and Thomas go over exactly what would have to happen to return to a normalized, affordable housing market and what’s hurting our efforts to get there. Plus, with rents becoming unaffordable for many young Americans, our Dave duo asks, “Is real estate still safe to invest in?” All that and more in this edition of BiggerNews! 

In This Episode We Cover

America’s “rent-burdened” status and why prices have crossed a critical threshold 

Real estate markets that have seen the largest increase in rent over the past three years

Luxury housing and how its development is hurting the effort to increase affordable housing 

Whether or not investors are to blame for rents skyrocketing 

“Inclusionary housing” and how investors can fill the affordable housing need while making a profit 

Whether or not real estate is still safe if renters get priced out of the market 

And So Much More!

Buy real estate or face your dollar’s demise. While this may sound like doomsday prophesying or over-bullish investor attitudes towards properties, the fact is that most investors today won’t make it. With inflation raging ahead, home prices double-digit percentages higher than they were a few years ago, and food and energy costs spiking, your cash isn’t safe. The value of your money is burning, and your bank account won’t be able to extinguish the flames. But there is still hope to build wealth.

Welcome back to a macroeconomic Seeing Greene episode where David tells you what he really thinks about today’s inflationary economy. If you want to grow your wealth while prices pop off, this is the episode to tune into. But it’s not just CPI rate rants this time; David will also advise on what to do when down payment requirements more than double at the last second, why Midwest “cash flow” markets aren’t what they seem, building vs. buying an ADU (accessory dwelling unit), and when to sell a rental or flip that is bleeding money every month. 

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:

What to invest in when inflation is eating away at your hard-earned money 

Down payment requirements and what to do when you can’t close with low money down

Cash flow vs. appreciation and using “portfolio architecture” to build the BEST portfolio possible

Buying vs. building an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) and which will make you wealthier as a result 

How to make money on a house flip gone wrong (even if it’s in a rough neighborhood) 

Negative equity and whether or not to sell a rental that is losing value

What to do with $30K in today’s expensive investing environment 

And So Much More!

Financial freedom isn’t important until your life flashes before your eyes. When everything could end, thoughts of your partner, children, and family come to mind, and most notably, what you left behind for them. Pasha Maleknia was thrown into a warzone and came within minutes of meeting his end. As he sat, not knowing whether or not he would ever see his wife again, he made a promise to build financial freedom for his family so that if anything happened to him, they would be protected.

Pasha kept his promise and is here to share exactly how he got it done. Through chaos, Pasha was given a second chance at building the life he dreamed of, starting a real estate investment portfolio that has grown to a double-digit unit count with close to six figures in expected cash flow. None of what he did was easy, but using his background in coding, systems, and optimizing everything for efficiency, Pasha is building a hands-off real estate empire that will set his whole family financially free.

If you’ve struggled to progress with rental properties, do NOT miss out on Pasha’s story. He explains exactly how his “why” forced him to reach financial freedom in only a few years and what he’s doing now to ensure his wealth never stops growing. Don’t wait for it to be too late. Put your life in your hands, and take Pasha’s words to heart.

In This Episode We Cover:

The near-death experience that forced Pasha to find financial freedom for his family 

Building your “income-producing box” that will take care of your family for decades 

DIY rehabs and why you DON’T need to know everything before you start investing 

Pasha’s killer first rental property and the “surprise” basement that came with it 

Using the BRRRR method to quickly multiply your portfolio without much cash needed 

How to automate your ENTIRE rental property portfolio so you do nothing 

And So Much More!

Real estate investing has changed a LOT over the past few years. For most people getting into rental property investing in the mid-2010s, profitable properties were plentiful, cash flow was almost automatic, and equity was flowing in the tens (if not hundreds) of thousands every year. Unfortunately, this real estate market is long gone. Now, there’s blood in the streets as new investors try to salvage sickly-looking deals that don’t cash flow and come with pathetic-looking profits. And maybe, just maybe, that’s why now is the best time to buy.

Make no mistake, real estate investing isn’t easy, and just buying any house WON’T make you rich. But, the 2023 housing market has far more opportunity than most people think, and David Greene, Henry Washington, and Rob Abasolo are here to explain how. These three investors have been gobbling up rental properties as quickly as possible. And even with lower margins, slim cash flow, and limited equity, there is some method to their madness.

If NOTHING you’re looking at is cash flowing and almost every home seems overpriced (especially with today’s mortgage rates), this is THE episode to tune into. In it, David, Henry, and Rob will detail how you can “create” a profitable property while the masses sit on the sidelines, as well as go over real, authentic deals they’re doing today to show you it isn’t impossible to invest in 2023. 

In This Episode We Cover:

How to analyze a real estate deal and what to do if none of the properties show a profit 

The 2023 housing market and how things have changed over the past few years

Investor expectations and why the times of “get rich quick” are long gone 

How to build, buy, or force equity into your rentals so you get rich in the background

Simple steps the average investor can do to make their real estate deals work 

Renting vs. flipping and which exit to take in a volatile housing market 

And So Much More!

You’ve been lied to about affordable housing. Most people will either tell you it’s impossible to buy an affordable home or that those buying affordable homes are outright stupid. The term “affordable” has been correlated with inexperienced buyers getting cheap deals on homes, often ending up in trailer parks or something of the sort. But things have changed. Mortgage rates are at decade highs, home prices tower over what everyday workers can afford, and a new age of affordability is upon us—we’re here to unlock it for you.

A new forest of David Greenery has sprouted as we welcome Kristina Smallhorn and Rob Abasolo onto this episode of Seeing Greene. Kristina, Louisiana-based realtor, has been fighting for affordability, helping get her clients into creative homes that don’t break the bank. She’s here to dispel all the myths about affordable housing, manufactured homes, modular homes, land investing, and more. We’ll touch on build-to-rent homes and who should NOT be investing in them, green flags to look out for when buying land, and the danger behind new forty-year mortgages.

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:

Affordability in 2023 and how homebuyers can still purchase even with high home prices

Modular homes and how these cheaper builds are quickly becoming the high-quality norm

Build-to-rent properties and whether or not appreciation is worth the lack of cash flow

Red (and green) flags to watch out for when buying land, plus how to know a plot can even be built on

The forty-year mortgage explained and why it may be a BAD idea for desperate borrowers

Misconceptions about affordable housing and why “mobile homes” aren’t what you think

And So Much More!

Did you know you can invest in real estate using funds you’ve probably forgotten about? For years, you’ve been socking away money into your IRA or 401(k) to ensure an abundant retirement. The problem? You’ve only been able to invest those funds into passive investments like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. What about the investors who want a more active income stream with bigger tax benefits, more equity upside, and plenty of cash flow? Can you use your retirement accounts to build wealth with real estate?

If you ask Kaaren Hall, her answer is a resounding yes. Kaaren saw quickly how the real money was being made in real estate, so she began investing herself, later realizing that she could use her retirement funds to build a real estate portfolio faster. She founded uDirect IRA Services to help other investors build wealth a better way, opening up more options for passive income, so your retirement accounts can grow into the millions.

If you want to scale your real estate portfolio but don’t have the cash on hand, this could be your PERFECT option. Kaaren goes over exactly how to use your retirement accounts to invest in real estate, what you can (and definitely can’t) do when investing this way, and how you can start raising capital for your own deal using other people’s retirement funds. This is a $40 trillion untapped opportunity, so don’t miss out!

In This Episode We Cover:

Tax-free real estate profits and using self-directed IRAs to build your retirement accounts

How Kaaren used retirement funds to buy her newest investment property 

The self-directed IRA explained and why SO many savvy investors use one 

The “layers” of retirement that’ll help you build massive wealth for later in life 

Mistakes you can make when using self-directed funds to invest (and how to avoid them)

The BRRRR method allows you to buy rental properties faster, smarter, and with far less cash than ever before. It’s one of the most popular real estate investing strategies around, allowing almost anyone to take a small amount of money and turn it into an extensive rental property portfolio. And while this may seem complicated to imagine for the everyday worker or small landlord, BRRRR can change your life and supercharge your wealth, but only if you know how it works.

Of course, we have Sir BRRRR himself on the show, David Greene, to describe exactly how the BRRRR method works, what’s changed in 2023, and the signs you have a great BRRRR deal on your hands. Not only that, David will show you where to find the best BRRRR deals, how to analyze your properties BEFORE you buy, and the rules of thumb you should follow to ensure you’re getting the best BRRRR property possible. He’ll also sprinkle in some expert tips that allow you to maximize the value of your property while paying the least out of pocket!

The multifamily market is about to buckle. With sellers still riding the highs of 2022, buyers are at a crossroads; keep pursuing deals or wait for the market to go south. And, with mortgage rates rising and short-term financing coming due, many multifamily owners could be forced to sell their properties to the highest bidder. While some of this may sound like speculation, we’ve got a multifamily forecast straight from an expert in the industry, Angie Smith, from Strategic Management Partners.

Angie and her company manage 25,000 rental units at a time. Yes, you read that right! For the past decade, Angie has been the go-to manager for top apartment complexes across Georgia, dealing with everything from noisy tenants to in-unit farms and goat grilling operations (seriously). She knows the ins and outs of property management, what makes a good property manager, and why self-managing isn’t always the wisest move.

In this episode, Angie gives her take on the 2023 housing market and when she thinks multifamily will start to get shaky, why most investors are wrong about property management, how to choose a property manager, and the questions you should ask ANY management company before you hire them. If you want TRULY passive income through real estate, you DON’T want to manage your rentals alone.
