BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast - Cash Flow Concerns & Should I Invest Now or Wait?

Should I invest now or wait? How do I set up my children for financial success? What do top agents do to stand out in the market? These are all questions of real estate investors, agents, and onlookers who wait to see what’s next in the 2022 housing market. With so much uncertainty around us and an environment of intense competition, it can be a struggle to know what move is the right one or whether or not to sit out of the game entirely. Well, if you’re looking for a top agent, investor, and podcaster with a very shiny head, you’ve come to the right place. David Greene is back with another fan-favorite episode of the Seeing Greene series as he takes questions directly from BiggerPockets listeners and commenters on YouTube. In this week’s seeing Greene, you’ll hear David go granular into commonly asked questions and topics like: how to finance a rental without W2 income, what to do when a home is zoned incorrectly, investing in expensive markets like Hawaii, asset protection for real estate investors, and why cash flow isn’t the most important metric when house hacking. ~~~~ Join BiggerPockets for FREE: https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Ask David Your Real Estate Investing Question: https://www.biggerpockets.com/david?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Upgrade to BiggerPockets Pro for Exclusive Tools and Articles: https://www.biggerpockets.com/pro?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Grab BiggerPockets’ CEO Scott Trench’s Book “Set For Life”: https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/set-for-life?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Our Interview with Rich Dad’s CPA Tom Wheelwright: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/biggerpockets-podcast-569-tom-wheelwright?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Should I Wait Until the Market Drops to Buy an Investment Property? https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/should-buy-investment-property-market-drop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none ~~~~ Connect with David’s Lending and Agent Teams: Lending: https://www.the1brokerage.com/ Buying and Selling: https://thedavidgreeneteam.com/ ~~~~ Follow David on Instagram: @davidgreene24 or https://www.instagram.com/davidgreene24/ ~~~~ Connect with David on BiggerPockets: David: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/davidgreene24?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none Episode 582 Show notes at: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-582?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none 0:00 Intro 2:26 Quick Tip 3:16 How to Stand Out as a Real Estate Agent 14:42 Real Estate Investing for Your Children 16:55 House Hacking Loan Troubles 19:46 How to Mitigate Zoning Issues 23:47 David's YouTube Report Card 25:38 Investing in Hawaii's Rental Market 30:42 What If Your Partner Doesn't Want to Invest? 34:19 Buy Now or Wait? 42:36 How to Buy Rentals w/out a W2 45:20 Asset Protection for Landlords 47:19 The Massive Benefits of House Hacking 54:08 Ask David a Question!
