BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast

There is an almost fool-proof way to invest in real estate in 2023. It requires very little money down, no experience in investing, and can be used over and over and over again to build millions of dollars in real estate wealth. The strategy? House hacking! Real estate millionaires agree that this strategy is the BEST way to get started investing and can help launch you to the next level of financial freedom. You DON’T need a ton of time or money to house hack, and doing so could set you up for life. And if you think our empire-building hosts, David Greene, Henry Washington, and Rob Abasolo, aren’t spitting facts, think again. All three of these investors started house hacking and credit it as the greatest move they made to build wealth. But how does house hacking work, and if it’s such a smart move to make, why isn’t everyone doing it? In essence, house hacking allows you to monetize your living space. So, you get paid to have a mortgage instead of paying a mortgage. This could mean renting out your spare bedrooms, Airbnb-ing your mother-in-law suite, or buying a duplex and renting out the other side. And during a time when mortgage rates are higher than many of us have seen before and housing affordability is at an all-time low, house hacking can become your savior of savings, helping you keep more money every month. This compounded savings allows you to buy even more real estate, build your dream portfolio faster, and retire earlier than you thought. So, if you’re ready to invest in real estate, don’t sleep on house hacking!  In This Episode We Cover: House hacking explained and why it’s the EASIEST real estate investing strategy of 2023 Investing in real estate with no and low money down and why house hacking is the perfect starter option The different ways to house hack, from buying a duplex to renting out rooms How to find and analyze your house hack to ensure it’s paying for itself The best housing markets for house hacking and why you DON’T need to cash flow The house hack stack and the secret to building a multi-million dollar portfolio over just a few years And So Much More!

The BRRRR method is one of the most celebrated, highly-effective real estate investing strategies the world has ever known. Never heard of it? BRRRR stands for “Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat” and is a simple framework to allow any real estate investor, no matter their skill level, to get into real estate investing for no money at the end of the deal. This down payment recycling system allows you to use the same amount of cash to build a real estate portfolio that’ll expand to infinity. And for a while, the BRRRR method was yet to be bested—until now. Janice Stitzer may have cracked the code. As a house-hacking California native, Janice was pushed out of the golden state right before the last crash when housing prices were high, cash flow was low, and traffic was at a standstill. She and her husband decided to boost their quality of life by relocating to Colorado, where they started a construction company and a BRRRR-ing empire. Then in 2008, when lending screeched to a halt, her BRRRRs died down. But some years later, a new idea hatched—the BRRRR 2.0. Using this simple strategy, Janice got a brand new short-term rental that cash flows like crazy, all while gaining $200K in equity before her first guest checked in. This repeatable system can be used by almost anyone and doesn’t require much experience. With just five properties, this “BRRRR 2.0” investing style could make you a millionaire. But you won’t know how it works if you don’t tune in! So, stick around! In This Episode We Cover: The BRRRR 2.0 method and how it unlocks MASSIVE amounts of equity  House hacking in expensive markets and the lowering your cost of living (even in LA) The BRRRR strategy explained and why it’s still one of the most profitable ways to invest The five things to look for when developing land or investing in new construction  Why you NEED a great general contractor at your side ANY time you plan on building  Short-term rental investing and why the cash flow beats consistent long-term rentals  And So Much More!

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.  Want to ask David a question? If so, submit your question here so David can answer it on the next episode of Seeing Greene. Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can hop on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot! In This Episode We Cover: The “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 (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  And So Much More!

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!

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  And So Much More!

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!

He even got caught by his first mentor stealing food after a speaking event when he didn’t have enough money to eat. Fast forward to today, and Lewis is a best-selling author, owner of a multi-million dollar business, and gets paid more in an hour than most Americans make in a year. So what changed?

In this month’s BiggerNews, the mortgage rate rollercoaster continues, ChatGPT tries to take your job, Facebook tells investors to get lost, and David discusses his love-hate relationship with Jack in the Box. That’s right, we’ve crammed in all the most important news for real estate investors, including AI realtors, dangerous fast food options, and why buyers and sellers keep pushing down hard on both pedals. David Greene and Dave Meyer will go down the real estate rabbit hole, discussing the most important headlines affecting today’s housing market. Welcome back to BiggerNews, where we touch on the facts, data, and everything else affecting real estate investing. This time, the Dave duo hits on why mortgage rates shot down earlier this year and what’s causing them to rise again, plus what this will do to buyers and sellers who are waiting to get into the market. Then, we’ll hear how the BRRRR method could be in danger as new mortgage rules make a cash-out refinance far harder than before. Ever thought, “We need more artificially conscious investors.” If so, you’re in luck! We’ll touch on how ChatGPT could allow an influx of sub-par investors to enter the market.

There are a few real estate investing red flags that an investor should ALWAYS look out for. If you don’t, you could end up in the same situation as David Pere, who just finished off a four-year lawsuit after a seller tried to get rid of a deal that wasn’t even worth the dough. But David wasn’t a rookie when this happened. This was David’s third deal after having multiple units under his belt. And even though he was able to walk away from the lawsuit, the downsides, years of stress, and wasted opportunity is what he wants to make sure you DON’T repeat.  This deal didn’t look fishy at the start, but as soon as closing came, difficulties started to crawl out of every nook and cranny of this property. Made-up leases? David’s got them! Weirdly intertwined relationships between sellers and property managers? It’s there too! Repairs that never got made? You bet! And this isn’t even the worst of the deal gone wrong. The story gets even more unbelievable, fraudulent, and downright confusing as David spills the tea. But this isn’t a pity party. All while this lawsuit was happening, David has been scaling his rental property portfolio, reaching financial freedom, and still doing the best he could to build wealth. This story is NOT meant to scare you off from investing but to show you that any deal, no matter how bad it gets, can be a learning lesson that allows you to reach your goals even faster!   In This Episode We Cover: The “more doors” trap and why scaling bigger isn’t always the best move Lease options explained and why a seller would risk signing one  Mixed use real estate and the multiple streams of income that come from one property  Why you should ALWAYS get your team into a deal before you sign the contract  Red flags David missed that you should ALWAYS look out for when buying a new property Taking a seller to court and what to do if you find out there’s fraud in your deal  Why savvy buyers (and sellers) always document EVERYTHING said in a negotiation  And So Much More!

The housing market is heating up as homebuyer season comes back in full swing. For the past few months, most real estate investors have assumed that high interest rates and low inventory would stop first-time homebuyers from making offers on houses. But, most of us assumed wrong. At the start of this year, demand started picking back up, causing investors to pivot to get offers in quickly. So, if you’ve been waiting to buy your first or next deal, now may be the perfect time to start analyzing properties, sending in offers, and getting your property portfolio started. But you can’t do it without an elite agent! We brought in three of the nation’s top agents to tell us what’s happening in their markets, what types of deals they’re doing, and how you can make the most off your next purchase. We first welcome back Dahlia Khalaf from ASN Realty in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She’s recently helped a client get into a “double dip deal” that resulted in tens of thousands in profit on a deal that almost any beginner investor could do. But they had to get creative to find it! Next, we bring back Rob Chevez from Washington, D.C., who’s worked out an interestingly debt-ridden real estate deal to help his investor client pull in some SERIOUS cash flow from short-term renting. And lastly, who could forget about our own David Greene? He’s California’s favorite real estate agent, and his team has been using the house hacking strategy to help first-time homebuyers subsidize a SIGNIFICANT portion of their mortgage. Even better? This deal required no money down and allowed his clients to lock in a low mortgage rate and a low cost of living while in one of America’s most expensive cities, San Diego. If you want a home run deal like any of the ones discussed on today’s show, head to BiggerPockets’ Agent Finder to find an elite investor-friendly agent in your area.  In This Episode We Cover Why the housing market is heating up as homebuyers come back with higher demand  Wholetail real estate deals and how to flip a property without ANY renovation costs  How to find off-market deals and targeting homes that have been sitting on the market  Home liens and using them to find sellers who are willing to give a discount on their properties  Whether or not cash flow is still possible in 2023 and which strategies will bring in the highest rents House hacking and using this strategy to lower your cost of living significantly  Rate buydowns, seller credits, and more ways to come to closing with less money  And So Much More!

The last housing crash wasn’t a good time for most Americans. And for Brent Daniels, it was the worst time of his life. Before the crash, he was riding high, making six figures, living in a big house with a new car, and building a real estate brokerage with eighty employees. Then, the market started to tank, and so did Brent’s revenue. He had to let go of all eighty workers, watch his car get repossessed, and witness his wife leaving him. But that wasn’t all. The ten-year office lease for his brokerage was still due, and the owners shackled him with seven hundred thousand dollars of debt. Brent hit rock bottom as his reputation lay ruined, forced to stay with friends to survive. He slowly got back into real estate, making a few hundred dollars here and there. But then, one day, Brent stumbled upon an assignment fee. He watched one of his friends walk away with a five-figure check simply for flipping a contract to an investor. Thus, the wholesaling fire was sparked, and Brent gave up his dreams of becoming a top agent or real estate investor. He hit the phones, finding as many motivated sellers as possible. From there, Brent shares how he built a business that does over a million dollars a year with just four team members, why he doesn’t invest heavily in real estate, and the exact script he uses to get hefty wholesale fees from motivated sellers. Now, with a net worth of over eight million dollars, Brent has proven that no comeback is impossible and that the best foundation for success is rock bottom. In This Episode We Cover: Overleveraging and Brent’s mistakes that made him lose everything in the last crash The toxic “supreme ego” that will push you to take risks that are never worth it Paying off six figures in debt and how to rebuild when starting from below zero  The secret to talking to motivated sellers and the four pillars of negotiation in a deal Cold calling tips and what you should NEVER say to a seller  How to scale a LEAN business that operates almost entirely without you  A glimpse into an alternate universe where Henry Washington is David Greene’s wife  And So Much More!

The real estate markets that have the highest populations tend to have the highest housing prices. Think of cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle. Just a few years ago, these bustling metros were packed to the brim with tech workers, all of which contributed to housing shortages and sky-high home prices. Now, with remote work the new norm, these big cities are seeing their populations slowly start to siphon out to more affordable housing markets in America. As an investor, you may ask yourself, “where are the most people (and money) headed?” In this episode, Dave Meyer and David Greene will answer this exact question. But, it isn’t as easy as solely looking at population growth. Dave and David go deep into the data to see where businesses, tech jobs, and high salaries are moving so you can make the best bet for future equity plays. And even though it seems like Miami, Austin, and other booming markets have already priced out most investors, recent price drops could be a short-term loss that leads to your long-term gain. But even if you know where Americans are migrating, you’ll still need to know the “why” so you can find future markets fitting these criteria. Dave and David touch on how work from home changed the housing market, why the pandemic split the nation into affordable and unaffordable housing markets, and how something as simple as a warm day could heavily impact where the best investing opportunity is. So stick around if you’re planning on buying, investing, selling, or moving in 2023! In This Episode We Cover: The ten real estate markets that are seeing massive migration even in 2023  The “great reshuffling” and how a nomadic work culture changed America’s housing landscape Work from home’s effect on migration, high-paying jobs, and home prices  How political stances and low/no income tax enticed many Americans to leave their home states The housing markets seeing the BIGGEST population drops and where not to invest  Where businesses are moving, and the sneaky tax incentives states use to entice corporations  Why short-term price drops DO NOT predict the future of the housing market  And So Much More!

You don’t need a hundred rental properties to make a million dollars a year. You can do it with less than ten properties. Sounds insane, right? If so, tune in to hear Jesse Vasquez’s story as he breaks down exactly how he built a seven-figure income stream with fewer rental properties than most medium-sized landlords. He even gives an example of how just two of his rental properties are cash-flowing enough to replace a six-figure salary. So what is he doing differently from the rest? After escaping the “golden handcuffs” of a six-figure healthcare sales job, Jesse knew he couldn’t ever return to the corporate work environment again. He loved the paycheck but was paralyzed by the work and needed an escape that could help him build wealth without sucking his soul. After sparking up a conversation with a traveling nurse, he realized there was an unfilled niche in the medium-term rental space, one that traveling professionals would pay handsomely for. From working in healthcare, Jesse has been able to pinpoint exactly what makes a high-cash flow medium-term rental, which amenities can dramatically increase your rent price, and how to make six figures in cash flow with just a few properties. This deep dive will give you EVERYTHING you need to know before you buy a medium-term rental, how to achieve a near-zero vacancy rate, and the most lucrative way to find tenants that will net you five times higher rent than a regular long-term tenant. In This Episode We Cover: The medium-term rental strategy explained and how it produces so much cash flow Leaving a cushy six-figure job to build a real estate business, not just retire early  How Jesse makes close to a million dollars a year with just nine rental properties  The secret amenities that nurses MUST have to book your property  The exact agencies to call to get your property rented at SIGNIFICANTLY higher rates  How to choose the perfect medium-term rental market and what to look for in local hospitals  Home insurance rental coverage and how to use it to fill up your units FAST  And So Much More!
