BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast - Avoid These Off-Market Real Estate “Deals”

Off-market real estate is almost synonymous with a good deal. When you tell people you got an off-market property, they immediately assume you were able to snag a steal at a fraction of its actual cost. This line of thinking has made many new real estate investors believe that any off-market deal is actually a steal—but this isn’t entirely accurate. Before you buy that next direct-to-seller deal you’ve been telling everyone about, listen to David’s advice. We’re back on another Seeing Greene episode, where your “one away from seven hundred” host, David Greene, is here to give you practical advice on buying and selling properties. In today’s episode, we take multiple video and written submissions, with topics touching on how to buy more real estate when your debt-to-income is maxed out, what to do with a dangerous tenant, refinancing at today’s high interest rates, and why off-market deals aren’t always what they seem to be. And, if you’ve struggled with setting standards before, you’re in for a special treat, as David gives himself (and all of you) a personal pep talk on expecting excellency.
