    Seeing Greene: The Cash Flow "Golden Age” Could Be OVER

    Seeing Greene: The Cash Flow "Golden Age” Could Be OVER

    The golden age of cash flow real estate investing could be over as we know it. For the past decade and a half, landlords got used to buying standard homes that made a killing in cash flow. Combine that with exponentially appreciating home prices, and anyone who purchased a property in the past ten years looks like an investing oracle. But now, the tide is starting to turn, and rookie real estate investors are struggling to find any house in almost any market that can cash flow. So what happened, and why has the nation’s cash-flowing real estate suddenly disappeared? 
    Welcome back to another Seeing Greene, where your “don’t just go for cash flow” host, David Greene, is back to drop some real estate knowledge for ANY level of investor. In this episode, we get into why it’s so challenging to find real estate deals that cash flow in 2023, when to invest in an appreciation vs. cash flow market, and whether or not to sell a property that isn’t profitable. Then, we switch gears and touch on how to vet a private lender you met online and whether or not an out-of-state rental rehab project is too risky for a brand-new real estate investor.

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 “Golden Age” of cash flow and why it might finally be over in 2023
    How to pivot when you can’t find a “deal” in today’s housing market
    Cash flow vs. appreciation markets and which makes for a better long-term bet
    What to do when your rental property isn’t profitable and how to know it’s worth selling
    Vetting private money lenders and why you should NEVER send money to one
    Out-of-state renovations and rehabs and why rookie real estate investors should stay clear of them
    Delayed gratification and why it’s the true path to building wealth 
    And So Much More!

    SVB's Collapse: Is Real Estate at Risk in The Fallout?

    SVB's Collapse: Is Real Estate at Risk in The Fallout?

    SVB’s (Silicon Valley Bank) collapse has more to do with the housing market than you think. With bank runs becoming contagious, Americans in fear of economic turmoil, and a recession now closer on the horizon, assets like real estate could be affected in ways that most everyday Americans don’t realize. But, to understand what could happen to home prices and the US economy, we’ll need to explain the entire situation.
    Back on as expert guests, J Scott, multi-decade investor, and Scott Trench, CEO of BiggerPockets, are here to share their takes on the SVB’s meltdown. More importantly, they explain the events leading up to this bank collapse, how the pandemic created fuel for this future fire, and whether SVB’s collapse could cause a chain reaction that leads to more bank failures, harder economic times, and, surprisingly, higher mortgage rates. 
    J and Scott debate whether or not more small banks are at risk, what could happen to HELOCs (home equity lines of credit), mortgages, and other financing options, and whether or not real estate will go down with the ship as our economic situation goes from bad to worse. And, if you’ve been saving up for your next investment property, stick around as J and Scott walk through how real estate investors should be using their money in troubling times like today.
    In This Episode We Cover:
    SVB’s collapse explained and how it could drag us into a deeper recession 
    The effects on real estate and whether or not prices will drop as a result
    Mortgage rate predictions and the Fed’s shaky decision to raise or halt rates 
    HELOCs (home equity lines of credit), mortgages, and other property financing options that could be in danger 
    Whether or not we’re in a recession, and if we aren’t, when the recession could hit
    Investing in real estate in 2023 and the moves you MUST make to protect your investment

    From $500 to 40 Rental Units After Going Broke in The Last Crash

    From $500 to 40 Rental Units After Going Broke in The Last Crash

    Eric Quinn turned $500 into over forty rental properties without rich relatives, a winning lottery ticket, or a magic genie. Like many investors after the 2008 crash, Eric was left flat broke, with an unbelievably high adjustable mortgage rate, hundreds of thousands in credit card debt, and just a few hundred dollars to his name. His “bed,” a pile of clothes in an empty apartment, was the one thing that could comfort him while digging himself out of the housing market hole he fell into.
    Now, Eric’s life looks a little different. With dozens of cash-flowing rental units, even Eric questions how he got here. His story includes selling snakes, dealing drugs, storage wars, terrible real estate deals, and bad debt, but at the end of it, thanks to making the perfect pivot, he came out on top. He made almost every real estate investing mistake in the book, from buying a property he knew nothing about to purchasing fifteen rental properties in one month (don’t do this) and taking risks that were never worth the reward.
    But Eric isn’t here to cry over spilled milk. Instead, he’s here to share EXACTLY how he made it out of a horrible situation and turned his life around to build wealth, have time freedom, and live without worrying. You might be feeling a bit like Eric did, and if you want to know the mistakes you should avoid and the moves you should make to get in a better position, tune into today’s episode!
    In This Episode We Cover:
    How to build wealth when starting from ZERO (or in SERIOUS credit card debt)
    Storage wars and making thousands flipping items found at auctions
    The HUGE cash flow of sober living facilities and why they beat regular rental properties
    Becoming a real estate agent and why you HAVE to go all in if you want to make more money
    Purchasing portfolios and the big mistake Eric made that cost him hundreds of thousands
    Property inspections and why you NEVER use a residential inspector on a commercial property
    And So Much More!

    Where the REAL Money is Made in Multifamily (Asset Management 101)

    Where the REAL Money is Made in Multifamily (Asset Management 101)

    The way you manage your multifamily real estate could be the defining factor when growing a bigger portfolio, reaching financial freedom, and leaving a lasting legacy. The “DIY management” style works for most real estate investors until they build a significant stack of multifamily properties. Then, the toilet calls, tenant complaints, and late rent checks get a little exhausting when you’re now taking care of dozens of tenants, not just two or three. So, what’s the right way to scale with multifamily real estate without losing your hair?
    We’ve brought back multifamily investing experts Andrew Cushman and Matt Faircloth to explain how new multifamily investors can start to scale by making some strategic hires. Both of these battle-tested investing experts have dealt with their fair share of flaky property managers, late maintenance technicians, and asset managers who care more about a paycheck than building a profitable portfolio. They know exactly what does (and doesn’t) make a good hire and how you can start scaling quicker by outsourcing work you once thought crucial for an owner to do.
    Andrew and Matt break down the difference between a property manager and an asset manager and explain why these roles are commonly confused. They also hit on how essential operations are at a time when cap rates are starting to expand and many buyers have fled the market. Finally, they’ll walk through the exact skills you should be looking for in an asset manager, property manager, leasing agent, and maintenance supervisor, so you can focus on growing your portfolio, NOT handling the day-to-day hiccups. 
    In This Episode We Cover:
    Asset management vs. property management and how these two separate roles create investing synergy 
    The changing multifamily market and how “buying a deal” isn’t as easy as it was before
    What small multifamily investors can do NOW to build the road to a bigger portfolio 
    Hiring a property manager and the twenty-seven questions you MUST ask them before you bring them into your team 
    Attitude over skills and how to find the rockstars that want to build your real estate portfolio
    Incentivizing success and making sure your workers are paid for increasing value and cash flow

    Future Millionaires: The “Pickle Jar” Offer That Could Score You a Property

    Future Millionaires: The “Pickle Jar” Offer That Could Score You a Property

    Building a real estate portfolio in 2023 isn’t as easy as it used to be. Without the free-flowing deal flow of the past decade, real estate investors need to try more intelligent strategies to snag properties that can help them reach financial freedom. To help them hit their goals, expert investors David Greene and Rob Abasolo have been coaching a small group of real estate mentees on their journey to build a robust property portfolio. Over the past three episodes, we’ve seen them build their buy boxes, decide on markets, formulate offers, and level up their investor skills. At the end of this ninety-day journey, our mentees have made some profound revelations.
    We start with Philip, who’s been struggling to find a worthwhile campground to get under contract. He’s been able to wrangle in a deal, but it comes with “hairy” circumstances that could allow him more bargaining power when negotiating with the seller. Next, Wendy is back on her hunt for a house hack. After viewing potential properties in the Las Vegas area, she’s had to pivot her investing strategy to tackle something that comes with lower costs. And finally, Danny joins us to talk about two “offensive” offers he made and the “pickle jar” method that investors should know about before negotiating with a seller.
    All of the mentees have made MASSIVE strides in their real estate investing journeys, but what comes next is entirely up to them. Stick around to hear how they got ahead of the game, what made the most significant difference in their property searches, and how they’re gearing up to tackle even bigger deals throughout 2023!
    In This Episode We Cover:
    Negotiating with a seller and what to do when hidden costs pop up during your due diligence
    Networking with other investors and the MASSIVE benefit that comes with it
    House hacking, medium-term rentals, and what to do when struggling to find cash flow
    Pivoting your rental property strategy and why you should NEVER make an offer unless the numbers make sense
    Making “offensive” offers and why lowballing isn’t always such a bad thing
    Building your “buy box” and keeping it flexible enough, so you’re still able to get properties under contract
    Analysis paralysis, outsourcing, and what will stop you from making it in real estate
    And So Much More!

    How to Use the 2023 Housing Correction to Get RICH with Real Estate

    The 2023 housing correction could be the PERFECT time to invest in real estate. Don’t believe us? Maybe you’ll be more convinced by Dave Meyer, VP of Data and Analytics at BiggerPockets and real estate investor who got his start right after the 2008 housing market crash. For a fresh-out-of-college Dave, this was one of the scariest purchases he could have ever made. Right off of the Great Recession, no one knew which way the housing market would head, but because Dave took an educated, data-backed risk, he’s been rewarded handsomely with passive income.
    And if you’re like most new real estate investors, you want to find financial freedom and spend more time doing what you love while building wealth in the background. Now, with skittish sellers and high mortgage rates scaring away many would-be-homebuyers, you can pick up real estate deals that could propel your wealth forward for years to come. And in this webinar, Dave will show you EXACTLY how to find, analyze, and finance your real estate deals. He’ll also dive deep into the data behind today’s housing market and prove why now may be one of the BEST times to buy real estate in years.
    Now is YOUR time to start building wealth. Don’t sit on the sidelines while others are reaching financial freedom.
