Summary
What’s your real estate retirement plan? How should you fund your rentals? And why is today’s housing market so hard to cash flow? These are just some of the questions that regular real estate investors ask themselves. In a high interest rate, low inventory environment like 2023, landlords need to find better deals, use better financing strategies, and look for different ways to profit, to turn their portfolios into passive income-generating machines.
Welcome back to a Seeing Greene episode that has questions from all over the nation. Some investors wonder why their cash-on-cash return numbers look so bleak. Others are debating using a HELOC (home equity line of credit) to buy rentals, even as interest rates continue to rise steadily. You'll hear answers to those questions all while David touches on topics around buying for cash flow vs. appreciation, how to buy rental properties while in college, how to find off-market properties, and where to meet private money lenders!
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!

| 0:03.0 | 7-1-4. |
| 0:04.0 | Most people in college don't look at it like a time to earn money. |
| 0:07.4 | They look at it like a time to have fun, time to grow. |
| 0:10.4 | You can do all that stuff and still make money, man. |
| 0:12.3 | So I would push you towards finding a job where you can earn more and then get your parents |
| 0:17.2 | or someone else that you know to co-sign with you on a loan to buy a rental property |

| 0:31.4 | likely problematic tenants and having your first experience as a real estate investor being |
| 0:35.2 | a scenario like that. |
| 0:36.2 | What's up everyone? |
| 0:37.2 | This is David Green, the host of Seeing Green. |
| 0:40.2 | Isn't it ironic that we call it Seeing Green but my last name is Seeing Green. |
| 0:44.3 | Also like what are the odds that I'd end up hosting a show that has the same name as |
| 0:48.5 | my last name. |
| 0:49.5 | Crazy right? |
| 0:50.5 | We had done this years ago but we couldn't think of a name. |
