Summary

Want to make multiple streams of income? Well, guess what? You DON’T need to buy more properties to do it. Instead, you can turn an existing rental property into a cash cow…but it has to meet the right qualifications. This is precisely what today’s first guest, Stacie, is looking for. She’s got multiple properties, and some have enough land to add a second rental property. But is doing development worth the high cash flow? Welcome back to Seeing Greene, where David and Rob answer real estate questions from BiggerPockets listeners just like you! First, we’ll talk to Stacie about her buy vs. build dilemma, and which makes MUCH more sense in today’s market.

Finally, David gives some swift advice on using a home equity “agreement” and how to make the MOST money on your house hack. Want to ask David a question?
