Summary

Want to go full-time into real estate investing? In only a few short years, you’ll be able to make millions of dollars, own a mansion on the beach, and ride your gold-plated jet ski into the sunset without ever having to work again…Of course, none of that is true. But, it’s precisely what the online “gurus” have been peddling for years, seductively luring in burnt-out workers by promising unimaginable income without much upfront work. If you REALLY want to build wealth and amass a portfolio of passive-income-producing properties, this is the show for you. We’re back with another Seeing Greene, where David goes hard on the havoc real estate gurus have unleashed. He’s here to tell you the truth about getting rich with real estate and why quitting your job to follow your dreams isn’t always the best choice. But, if you follow David’s advice, you can grow a skillset and investment portfolio that’ll lead you to the promised land of plentiful passive income. In this show, we’ll touch on topics like how to supplement your income to buy more properties, turning your side hustle into a full-time gig, when to quit corporate to pursue your real estate dreams, and how agents can instantly get better at their jobs. 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: The truth about going full-time into real estate and why you might want to hold on to your job How to build up enough capital to start investing even on a median salary Turning your side hustle into a fully-fledged business and how to know you’re ready to make the leap Real estate roles to look for when transitioning out of your job and into real estate full-time What the gurus aren’t telling you about having a career in real estate Three things that ANY real estate agent or realtor can do to level up their success And So Much More!
