    5 Steps to Get ANY Home Offer Accepted (WITHOUT Being the Highest Bidder) w/Christian Bachelder and Lindsey Iskierka

    5 Steps to Get ANY Home Offer Accepted (WITHOUT Being the Highest Bidder) w/Christian Bachelder and Lindsey Iskierka

    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!

    Seeing Greene: Early Retirement, Private Lending, & The $10,000 “Guru” Trap

    Seeing Greene: Early Retirement, Private Lending, & The $10,000 “Guru” Trap

    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!

    Bankruptcy to Financial Freedom by Following the “No B.S.” Real Estate Rules w/Jason Lewis

    Bankruptcy to Financial Freedom by Following the “No B.S.” Real Estate Rules w/Jason Lewis

    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!

    The Tax-Free Strategy Only Real Estate Investors Can Access w/Mitchell Baldridge

    The Tax-Free Strategy Only Real Estate Investors Can Access w/Mitchell Baldridge

    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!

    Seeing Greene: The 10-Year Real Estate Retirement Plan (Use Home Equity!)

    Seeing Greene: The 10-Year Real Estate Retirement Plan (Use Home Equity!)

    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
    And So Much More!

4-H

Great job - love the podcast.

I just wanted to add some context to the 4-H conversation. It’s the pledge that makes the four Hs make sense.

I pledge my head to clearer thinking,
my heart to larger loyalty,
my hands to larger service,
and my health to better living,
for my club, my community,
my country, and my world.

Keep up the good work!

Jf9786 ,

Knowledge supercharged

BiggerPockets has taken me from an 8 year mortgage LO “veteran”, to a wise real estate PROFESSIONAL confident enough to jump into the NJ investment market.
In 60 days I have acquired so much knowledge, it almost feels unfair. Plus David’s enthusiasm and confidence comes in a way that allows the action to flow FREELY. Thanks to the whole bigger pockets team!
