Want a quicker way to buy rental properties? One that takes less cash, less time, and is beginner-friendly? Then you’re in the right place! In this Seeing Greene, we’re talking about the “sneaky rental tactic” that can help you build a real estate portfolio in just a few years. And if insurance and property taxes have been eating away all your cash flow, we go through a real-life investor’s situation to determine whether he should hold, fold, or change his real estate strategy. All that, and more, is coming up!
Like most investors in America, your property expenses are rising, but rent isn’t climbing at the same rate. What do you do when your cash flow disappears? That’s what our first investor is asking. Then, a house hacker wants to know how to get into his second property and what rules he has to follow to house hack once again. A rent-by-the-room investor gets given an ultimatum by his potential tenant—what should he do? We’ll also discuss the difference between “cheap” and “bad” houses, what to look for in a home inspection, and what to do when guests throw a party at your Airbnb.
