How do you get higher rents, more appreciation, and bigger returns from real estate investing in 2025? It’s easy—copy the experts. They’re doing it over dozens of deals, so why not apply their same tactics to your properties? That’s precisely what we’re sharing in today’s episode—the “upside” tactics ANYONE can use on ANY investment property to create more cash flow, better equity upside, and make their future selves richer.
Last week, we discussed the ten different “upside” investing tactics you can use in 2025 to boost your real estate returns. Today, we’re walking through six of them, in-depth, with investing experts Ashley Kehr and James Dainard. Ashley has been investing in rentals for over a decade, seeing basic properties become home-run rentals over time. James has made millions of dollars flipping houses with HUGE “upside,” he’s teaching you how to do the same, even if you’re only buying rentals.
We’re walking through our favorite “upside” strategies and how to spot the properties that have multiple “upsides” for investors. Follow these steps, and in a few years, the properties you buy in 2025 could become your best investments yet!

Welcome back to the BiggerPockets podcast. I’m Dave Meyer, head of real estate investing here at bp. Today we’re talking more about designing your deals because the reality is you’re probably not going on Zillow and finding some perfect deal ready to go. You have to spend time figuring out what are good assets and how to maximize the performance of those assets over the long run. And I actually talked about a framework last week on BPRE, episode 10 at 75, and to underscore this and help everyone really understand this, I’m bringing on two expert investors, James Dainard and Ashley Kehr to talk more about it so they can share examples of how they use these strategies in their own investing. James and Ashley, welcome back to the show. Good to see you both.

Thank you…
