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?

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. Want to ask David a question?

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) And So Much More!

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.  In This Episode We Cover 2023 multifamily market updates and when prices could start to fall Lessons learned from managing 25,000 rental units, plus an INSANE story about an in-unit butchery Third-party property management vs. self-management (and who can handle it)  Three questions to ask ANY property manager before you hire them  “Receivership” and what happens to owners who can’t pay their bills  What you should NOT ask a property manager to do on your behalf  And So Much More!

Two real estate markets still look like they’ve got room to grow in 2023, even as home prices face downward pressure for high mortgage rates and days on market begin to creep up. Markets like these two exploded in 2020-2022 and are still seeing strong demographic signs that more growth could be on the way. But, as two markets that have witnessed some of the most dramatic price appreciation in history, is now a worthwhile time to invest? In this episode, we’re doing a market deep dive into two hot housing markets, Tampa, Florida, and Dallas, Texas. These two metro areas saw population booms like never before, shooting their home prices high and keeping competition hot, even as rates rise. But are these two markets starting to see a slowdown in 2023, or are there surefire signs that another wave of buyer activity is about to take place? With so many Americans moving to Texas and Florida, could this be the appreciation play of a lifetime? We’re joined by Kim Meredith-Hampton and Victor Steffen, realtors in the Tampa and Dallas areas, respectively, to talk with David Greene and Dave Meyer about the potential of these two property markets. They’ll touch on how to find cash flow even with high home prices, the strategies they’re using today to lock in wealth-building buys for their clients, and why the days of bidding wars and buyer ferocity may be far from over. In This Episode We Cover: Updates on the Tampa and Dallas markets and whether or not there are still opportunities to buy Florida cash flow and whether or not the sunshine state has been tapped out of passive income  The Texas “BEAF” strategy wealthy investors are using to buy better properties  Short-term rental risk and regulations and what to do if your BnB gets banned  Out-of-state investing and which investors should put money into these property markets Mortgage rate impacts and what high home costs have done to buyer competition  And So Much More!

Real estate investing was never meant to be easy, but there are a few ways you can get started without putting a ton of your money or time at risk. Most real estate investors go gung-ho from the start, buying as many cheap rental properties as possible, only later to realize their mistake. But here’s the thing; you don’t need to invest in sketchy markets or buy dirt-cheap rentals to make money, you just need a bit of creativity if you want to get ahead. On this episode of Seeing Greene, we’re taking you through a plethora of investing strategies. We talk about how to invest in real estate when at the tail end of your career, whether to convert your garage into a rental or buy an out-of-state investment, the true cost of holding onto a risky rental property, and why your “cash flow” numbers probably aren’t what they seem. And, if you’re a young investor thinking of skipping college to dive head-first into real estate, you may want to hear David’s advice before you make that move. Want to ask David a question?

For real estate investors, passive income is almost always the goal. You may be making good money at your job, but the long days, longer nights, lack of sleep, and limited time off is probably leaving you feeling fatigued. This is exactly how Brittany Swait felt after a severe diagnosis put her life in danger. She was working harder than ever, but the time with her family was slowly slipping away. That was until she started investing. Brittany was able to build a fifty-nine-unit rental property portfolio in just three years. These properties bring in a staggering $200,000 per year passive paycheck, allowing Brittany to focus on her family, not take tasks from a boss. But this portfolio wasn’t easy to build, even though it happened quickly. Brittany had to learn the BRRRR method, take considerable risks (like draining her retirement accounts), and put herself in an entirely new position. Now, just a few years later, Brittany is building her rental property portfolio at a fast pace, but she loves every minute of it. In this episode, she’ll walk through the exact strategy she uses to make such high cash flow, her five tips for remodeling and renovating that will save you TONS of time, and how she’s been able to pull her cash out of the deals she’s doing.

She knows the up-and-coming areas, the overpriced hipster neighborhoods, the streets to stray away from, and which will make you rich when owning real estate. And while Barbara has made a killing, she’s done it in a way foreign to almost any other real estate investor. If you want to know the “formula” for making a fortune, this is the episode to tune into. In it, Barbara uncovers the exact way she finds the hottest rental markets before anyone else, why she consistently overpays for properties, the reason you should partner on almost EVERY deal you do, and why small-time investors are MUCH more likely to succeed than the big players. Not only that, but Barbara also shares her past failures and why falling flat on her face was what she needed to see great success. She talks about her infamous word-of-mouth campaign that sold out an eighty-unit apartment complex in hours, the “Corcoran Report” that landed her on the front page of The New York Times, and why you MUST talk to waiters whenever investing in a new area.  In This Episode We Cover: Barbara’s investing formula that will make you a FORTUNE (if you take the risk!) A terrible first real estate investment and a crucial finding Barbara learned from failing Overpaying for properties and why savvy investors don’t worry about the purchase price Cash-out refinances and why Barbara is ALWAYS taking money out of her properties Almost unbelievable marketing moves that Barbara made to boost her business Whether or not buying with today’s “high” mortgage rates is a mistake Why taking a night drive could be your key to finding the best real estate markets  And So Much More!

The US dollar could be ousted as the world’s reserve currency as more and more countries move away from using a dollar-backed standard for trade. This could lead to an economic domino effect causing more inflation and a difficult domestic economy. But what will this do to the housing market?

How do you go from absolute poverty to passive income in a short amount of time? What if you were raised on the other side of the world, where even a basic education had to be fought for, and every opportunity was a constant struggle? This is the real story of Yamundow Camara, who went from sleeping on a dirt floor in a small village of Gambia to making a million dollars per year thanks to real estate. Yamundow grew up in an environment foreign to many of us. When her parents passed away in her youth, she was forced to live with relatives that treated her as a nuisance, not someone worth nurturing. She slept on the floor of her family’s home and was sometimes lucky enough to have a cardboard box as a mattress. She was set to be wed in her early teenage years, but thanks to her drive, determination, and pleading of her aunts, Yamundow was given a chance to go to high school and college and later immigrate to the US. From there, Yamundow put success as her sole focus. She not only academically overachieved, but was able to do an INCREDIBLE amount of investing with almost no money, no credit score, and no experience in the industry. She now sits on over thirty rental units, with a monthly income that rivals most Americans’ yearly salaries. Yamundow has one of the most incredible stories we’ve ever shared on the podcast, and you’ll have to tune in to hear her unimaginable path to success. In This Episode We Cover: How Yamundow went from complete poverty to making $80,000 in cash flow a month  Putting education first and the true value of hard work and perseverance  Investing with NO credit score and VERY little money and how to find banks that will lend to you Working two jobs and why increasing your income is ESSENTIAL to building wealth Out-of-state real estate investing and what to do when your local market is too expensive How to find (and keep) quality contractors, property managers, and other team members Using the BiggerPockets Rental Property Calculators to make sure a deal is worth doing And So Much More!

Has housing market hysteria returned? For a few months, homebuyers took a sigh of relief as competition stayed low, prices began to drop, and the real estate market returned to reality. But it seems like the days of sweet deals and plenty of showings are now behind us as homebuyers are jumping back into the market.

A rental property doesn’t need to be brand new, have the best amenities, or offer 24/7 property management to do well. An older home can out-cash-flow a new build with one specific factor. So, what is THE key to having a profitable rental property, and why do so many rookie real estate investors not pay attention to it? Tune in, and find out on this week’s episode of Seeing Greene! We’re back with your “I finally remembered to turn on the green light!” host, David Greene. This time around, David is taking questions from all levels of real estate investors. Questions like what to do when your HELOC (home equity line of credit) rate is about to skyrocket, how fast to scale your rental portfolio, whether new homes are worth it as rentals, and how to turn a couple of rental properties into a real estate retirement plan. We even get a quick cameo from tax expert Tom Wheelwright on how to avoid taxes the next time you’re selling a rental! Want to ask David a question?

Real estate vs. stocks. Cash flow vs. consistent dividends. Equity vs. price-to-earnings. If you’re reading this right now, chances are that you’re more of a real estate investor than a stock picker. But maybe you’re on the wrong side. Does the passivity of stock investing beat buying properties? Or do things like depreciation, tax write-offs, and the ability to use leverage while having tangible assets take the cake when it comes to the stock vs. real estate debate? And what about investing in 2023 as the economy continues to falter?  We brought on return guest, stock investing expert, and host of We Study Billionaires, Trey Lockerbie, to put him head-to-head against some of the most famous names in real estate podcasting. Rob Abasolo emcees this battle of investment strategies as Dave Meyer and Henry Washington bring in the housing heat. And while no physical jabs are thrown, Trey and our real estate investing experts put these two popular asset classes head-to-head to see which is a better bet for today’s investors. And if you’re trying to scoop up deals at a discount, we touch on whether stocks or real estate are better bets during a recession, which comes out on top, and the risks you MUST know about before investing in either asset class. So, if you’ve got some cash burning a hole in your pocket and don’t know what to do with it, we may have the exact answers you need!  In This Episode We Cover: Stocks vs. real estate and which asset class has better returns over time  Volatility, risk, and which types of investments could put you in the MOST danger  Investing during a recession and whether or not real estate or stocks have reached their bottom Investing in bonds and why it may be a smarter move than you think in 2023 How to identify your “risk profile” so you can invest with MUCH less stress  Bitcoin, farmland, and other alternative assets that our guests would invest in  And So Much More!

When you think of creative finance, you think of Pace Morby. He didn’t invent creative finance, seller financing, or subject to investing. Instead, he perfected it, buying deals often with zero dollars down, low (or no) interest, and with terms any investor would dream of. But maybe you don’t know what creative finance is. Maybe the terms “seller financing” or “subject to” have never been mentioned to you before. As Pace describes in this episode, this industry-wide ignorance of creative finance is by design and keeps you from building wealth. To Pace, creative finance is the ultimate key to building a big rental property portfolio. But most sellers, buyers, and real estate agents don’t know about it. Describe creative finance to a regular realtor, and you’ll get laughed out of the listing. But, bring it up to a buyer, and suddenly everything changes. Don’t believe us? Pace brings up numerous examples in today’s show of how he was able to get real estate deals done that agents and realtors alike thought impossible. In this episode, you’ll get a complete intro to creative finance. Pace runs through the definitions, how each strategy works, why NOBODY talks about creative financing, and how YOU can start investing today (yes, TODAY!) with zero dollars out of your pocket and even with limited experience. Ready to start your rental portfolio? Tune in and get your copy of Pace’s new book, Wealth without Cash, today!  In This Episode We Cover: How Pace Morby buys multifamily real estate for NO MONEY out of pocket  Pace’s new BiggerPockets book that’ll help you get your first creative finance deal done  Seller financing explained and using it when a seller won’t budge on purchase price  The “subject to” strategy and how to lock in a rock-bottom mortgage rate even in 2023 Underwriting a real estate deal and seller lies that can often trick an inexperienced buyer Tax benefits of creative financing and how it makes a win-win for you and a buyer  The risks of subject to and seller financing and how to EASILY avoid them  And So Much More!

Real estate cash flow is why most investors decide to buy rental properties. But with interest rates at decade-long highs, rents starting to stagnate, and home prices still in unaffordable territory, making cash flow, or breaking even for that matter, has become challenging. And while the “golden age” of cash flow real estate investing might be over, there are still numerous ways to bring in more passive income on properties you already own. We’re back for another Seeing Greene, where your favorite investor, broker, and “definitely not a loan expert,” David Greene, is back to answer YOUR real estate investing questions.
