Summary
Unless you’re trying to invest in real estate using all cash, you’ll need to know which investment loans work best for you. But what if you’re a contractor, a business owner, or self-employed? What if you’ve already used up all your financeability and your DTI (debt-to-income ratio) is too high for lenders to take you seriously? What’s your next step? Fortunately, even if you’re feeling the crunch of difficult financing, you still have numerous ways to buy rental properties. You just need to know where to look!
We’re back! Or more like David is back on another episode of Seeing Greene where he takes the most-pressing questions from our audience and answers them live for all investors to benefit. In this episode, we’ll be talking about mid-term rentals and the threat they pose to “regular” rental property investing, why it’s so challenging to find investor-friendly agents, how wholesaling real estate could get you into trouble, and house hacking in an expensive market (even with VERY little down).
Want to ask David a question? If so, submit your question here so David can answer it on the next episode of Seeing Greene. Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can hop on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot!
In This Episode We Cover:
Why mid-term rentals may be the perfect sweet spot between effort and cash flow
How to grow an investor-friendly team of agents when most agents simply won’t cut it
Scaling your rental property portfolio using DSCR loans and other investment property products
The 10-second calculation that’ll help you decide whether to sell or rent out your house
House hacking in an expensive market and whether the “5% down” method is just a myth
Why agents could find themselves in serious trouble when trying to wholesale real estate
And So Much More!

| 0:05.0 | In basketball we had this concept called a 4.0 swing. |
| 0:08.0 | So imagine that you're on a fast break, you got a wide open layup, you miss it, the other |
| 0:12.6 | team gets the rebound, they throw the ball the other side and then they get an open layup. |
| 0:16.6 | It's not that they scored two points, it's that you lost two points and they scored two |
| 0:20.4 | points equaling a 4.0 swing, that's like the worst thing that can happen. |
| 0:24.7 | The same is true if you don't house hack. |
