814: BiggerNews: Home Prices to Stall as “Deflation” Concerns Pop Up Sep 05, 2023

Show notes

Home prices are about to slowly slump, real estate agents get their listings held for ransom, “deflation” concerns begin to grow, and multibillion-dollar lawsuits could change real estate investing forever. In other news, it’s just another day in the 2023 housing market. Some say the sky is falling, others are optimistic, but what do the equally named yet unequally-haired Daves think will happen? Tune into this BiggerNews to find out!

David Greene and Dave Meyer are reviewing some top headlines on today’s real estate market. Whether you love them or not, real estate agents are at the center of this episode as new lawsuits and cybersecurity attacks put their careers at risk. And this is no exaggeration—one of these stories could foreshadow “the beginning of the end” for real estate as we know it, and David has some strong opinions to share.

We’ll also touch on how “deflation” could push prices down as the US economy enters shaky territory and what would have to happen for us to realize this notorious economic event. And if you’re ready to buy or sell a home this year, we have good/bad news for you (depending on what you’re doing) as Goldman Sachs releases their newest home price predictions for 2023 and 2024.

In This Episode We Cover:

The multibillion-dollar lawsuits that could create HUGE hurdles for first-time home buyers

Deflation concerns and whether or not inflation could reverse entirely

Home price predictions and why the housing market could fall flat

MLS (multiple listing service) cyberattacks that are holding real estate agents hostage

Why institutional investors want to END buyer’s agents and take over home buying

And So Much More!

813: Seeing Greene: The Real Estate “Red Pill” That Made Me $400K/Year w/Dana Bull Sep 03, 2023

Show notes

Real estate investing is changing. Builders aren’t building what buyers and renters want, insurance companies are pulling out of top investing states, and property threats are growing increasingly common. This may sound like doom and gloom to you, but in reality, it’s keeping your competition out of the game, and if you use the advice on today’s show, you could build wealth while most cower in fear.

Seeing Greene is back again as David is on to give his time-tested wisdom to every real estate investor on the planet. But he’s got backup. Rob hangs around on this episode, and special guest Dana Bull, the “know when to stop” investor, is here to drop some knowledge bombs. We take viewer questions like whether you should buy one pricey property or a handful of smaller rentals, what to do when a property you’re buying has an illegal ADU (accessory dwelling unit), why insurance companies are leaving states like California, Florida, and Texas, and what’s the BEST property type to buy in today’s market?

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 real estate “red pill” you must swallow if you want to become wealthy

Why knowing your “why” is overrated, but having THIS goal isn’t

The three rules of real estate and why you should NEVER skip any of them

Going big vs. small on your first rental property and the “jump-start” plan you’ll need

Illegal additions and ADUs and whether or not a home is worth buying with one

Insurance problems and why policies are being dropped in high-risk states

The one property type you should focus on when buying in 2023

And So Much More!

812: 17 Properties in 3 Years Thanks to “Non-Stop Rejection” w/Jason Lee Aug 31, 2023

Show notes

Jason Lee owns more rental properties than most full-time real estate investors. But, he didn’t do this by investing after the last housing crash, inheriting millions from his parents, or buying a hundred-unit apartment building at once. Actually, Jason seemed like the least likely person to end up as a big earner. He was raised in a household where finances were a constant source of contention, and he only went to college to play sports.

Jason’s parents gave him one choice: become a doctor, lawyer, or other high-skilled professional, so he wouldn’t have to struggle like they did. After scraping through pre-med classes, living in the library, and dedicating all his time to school, he thought what every real estate investor thinks, “Maybe this isn’t the right path.” After having a sudden mental breakthrough, Jason knew he couldn’t continue. So what did he do instead? Real estate.

He was working (for free) four days a week and going to school two just to level up his skills so that he could finally do what he loved when he graduated. His first deal almost blew up, he almost quit, and he got six figures stolen from him, but Jason is now back on top, only three years after graduating, with a portfolio in the eight figures. How’d he do it so fast? Stick around and find out.

In This Episode We Cover

Quitting a (potential) career to focus on what will REALLY build your wealth

How non-stop rejection allowed Jason to become one of the most successful brokers/investors in his area

Why working for free has a far higher ROI than most college students think

Investing in an expensive market and why “cash flow” doesn’t matter

How to NOT get scammed by a contractor and signs yours is stealing money

Jason’s “formula for underwriting” and what he looks at most when doing deals

And So Much More!

Tom Brady is the GOAT (greatest of all time). But that makes his performance coach, Greg Harden, the GCOAT (greatest coach of all time). Greg has been coaching elite athletes like Tom Brady, Michael Phelps, and Desmond Howard, as well as top executives at some of the most well-known companies in the world. He knows what makes someone successful and, more importantly, what does not.

What could life be like without fearing the future? All of these questions are answered by Greg today, and they’re the same questions he’s been answering for decades to help top athletes reach their peak.

In today’s show, Greg explains why giving 100%, 100% of the time is the ONLY option for success, how consistency beats skill, why you’re not changing (even though you want to), and how to turn your fear into an eternal fire that will make your life better than it’s ever been before.

In This Episode We Cover:

The mental secrets that only elite athletes know about

How to let go and why your past baggage is self-sabotaging your life

Controlling the controllables and how to stop letting life push you around

809: How 1 Rental Property Saved Corey Kent’s Financial Future Aug 24, 2023

Show notes

Just six years ago, Corey Kent was a broke college graduate, renting out half of a room to save money, eating the same meal every day of the week. His dream was to make a living as a musician without selling out. Now, most country music fans know Corey's name and his platinum record speaks for itself. But what you don’t know is that Corey fueled his music career thanks to a handful of properties he bought years ago.

Corey’s side project real estate portfolio allowed him to launch his music career, make passive income when times got tough, and fall on his feet when the world was shut down. Corey was looking to invest in property at just seventeen years old, but when a bank turned him away, he had to change his entire mindset and learn the personal finance game from a very early age.

After his grandfather taught him the do’s and don’ts of buying raw land, Corey slowly built his real estate portfolio. At this time, Corey was below the poverty line, sleeping in his truck and saving whatever money he could to invest. He continued to buy property, EVEN when times were tight, successfully using his passive income to help him leapfrog into later becoming a chart-topping musician who now can follow his one true passion.

In This Episode We Cover:

Investing in real estate when you have low (or no) credit

Buying land and the rule of thumb that Corey ALWAYS follows before he invests

Corey’s “side project” passive real estate portfolio that helps pay for his lifestyle

How one rental property saved Corey’s family when the lockdowns began

Why real estate DOESN’T need to be your passion to build passive income

And So Much More!

808: This “CARFAX for Properties” Could Change EVERYTHING About Investing w/Sheila Fejeran and Teresa Grobecker Aug 22, 2023

Show notes

Real estate investing is about to get much, much easier. Up until now, buying a property has seemed like a guessing game. Your real estate agent, inspector, and title company do their best to ensure you’re buying the right home, but a few months, or weeks, into owning it, something breaks. But not something small—something huge. Now you’re on the hook for tens of thousands in repairs, and this is just one of many things that could go wrong.

What if there was a way to see EXACTLY what a home has been through since it was built? What if you could know about every past owner, system malfunction, renovation, repair, or addition to the home? And what if you could access it in seconds when analyzing deals? Sheila Fejeran and Teresa Grobecker from Consortia are building the technology that lets you do just that.

Consortia is real estate on the blockchain. But before you start thinking crypto, know that this is something MUCH different. Consortia gives interested parties—lenders, agents, buyers, and more—access to information you would have NEVER known about a home. But that’s not all. Consortia makes closing and lending quicker, so you can buy a house FAR faster than ever imagined.

In This Episode We Cover:

How the “CARFAX for properties” will make buying rentals painless

The blockchain explained and how it will evolve the entire real estate industry

Uncovering unknown property risks and how investors can use Consortia to buy even better deals

Stopping wire fraud in its tracks and how blockchain could solve this HUGE payment problem

Why you should NEVER, ever decline title insurance on a property purchase

And So Much More!

807: How to Build a Deal Flow “Funnel” to Get UNLIMITED Deals Sent To You w/James Dainard and Sam Primm Aug 20, 2023

Show notes

Want to grab the best real estate deals before the rest? The properties with motivated sellers, high-profit potential, equity upside, and BIG cash flow—the real estate deals that every investor dreams about getting. Well, what if we told you that top investors have a tried-and-true way to get them before anyone else and that they do this consistently, every day, every year, while ninety percent of investors are forced to buy their scraps?

Of course, we’re talking about funnels. Not the cake you buy at the fair or the thing you use to pour oil—we’re talking about real estate marketing funnels, and if you know how to use them, you can make money at ANY TIME with ANY property. James Dainard and Sam Primm have been using marketing funnels for years to get off-market deals sent their way. But they’ve also used them to get agent business, find property buyers, and build investor lists. So how do they do it?

Today you’ll get a masterclass on building your own investing funnel, so you can get the best deals sent to you instead of picking up low-profit on-market properties. This is the same system the TOP investors are using, and if you repeat the steps outlined today, you’ll be able to build a bigger portfolio, create more passive income, and reach financial freedom faster.

In This Episode We Cover:

How to find more real estate deals, buyers, sellers, and investors in ANY market

The #1 thing you MUST do when creating a real estate marketing funnel

Metrics and KPIs (key performance indicators) to track (so you don’t waste $$)

TV ads, direct mail, cold calling, and other funnel sources you can use to grab deals

What to do when your funnel is costing you money but not providing the leads you need

How to Find Financial Freedom with Small Multifamily Rentals Aug 19, 2023

Show notes

Small multifamily investing is one of the fastest ways to reach financial freedom through real estate. With just a few multifamily rental properties, you can create passive income streams that’ll allow you to retire from your W2 job, go full-time into real estate investing, or have enough money to do whatever you want, whenever you want. Don’t think it’s still possible? Dave Meyer, multifamily investor and VP of Data and Analytics at BiggerPockets, may change your mind.

Dave started investing in real estate by buying a couple of small multifamily rentals within a block of each other. He lived in one of the units while renting out the others, allowing him to live for free and collect some sizable cash flow. Now, years later, Dave is collecting around $5,000 per MONTH from just these two properties. And if you invest in small multifamily rentals, you could experience the same cash flow!
