BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast - The “Base Hit” Rental Properties That Will Make You Rich

If you’re looking to buy rental properties, build a real estate portfolio, and level up your wealth⁠—you’re in the right place. But, as the housing market stays red hot, it can be a struggle for both new and old investors to know where to look for their next cash flow or appreciation play. Do you stick with on-market properties that may be easier to come by but with serious competition, or do you go the off-market property route and look for distressed, yet overlooked properties. Get answers to this question (and many more) on this episode of Seeing Greene, with your host, David Greene. As always, David takes questions from you, the listeners, to answer some 2022-specific and age-old questions about rental property investing and real estate as a whole. Topics of today’s show include classics like buying new construction vs. an existing rental property, how to invest within your retirement accounts, on-market deals vs. off-market deals, and why certain properties stay on the MLS for so long.
