What’s your real estate retirement plan? How should you fund your rentals? And why is today’s housing market so hard to cash flow? These are just some of the questions that regular real estate investors ask themselves. In a high interest rate, low inventory environment like 2023, landlords need to find better deals, use better financing strategies, and look for different ways to profit, to turn their portfolios into passive income-generating machines.Welcome back to a Seeing Greene episode that has questions from all over the nation. Some investors wonder why their cash-on-cash return numbers look so bleak. Others are debating using a HELOC (home equity line of credit) to buy rentals, even as interest rates continue to rise steadily. You'll hear answers to those questions all while David touches on topics around buying for cash flow vs. appreciation, how to buy rental properties while in college, how to find off-market properties, and where to meet private money lenders!Want to ask David a question?
