The Importance of Integrity

David: I've been doing this for just about six years. When I first got started, I was holding a lot because it was fairly easy to cash flow. But then 2021 hit and I started doing the math on, well, yeah, I could rent this and make a few hundred dollars a month net cash flow. David: So I use that as a time to trim fat in my portfolio? And we have the option to tell you the truth, which is what we at Bigger Pockets believe is the right approach.

Episode notes

Real estate investing has changed a LOT over the past few years. For most people getting into rental property investing in the mid-2010s, profitable properties were plentiful, cash flow was almost automatic, and equity was flowing in the tens (if not hundreds) of thousands every year. Unfortunately, this real estate market is long gone. Now, there’s blood in the streets as new investors try to salvage sickly-looking deals that don’t cash flow and come with pathetic-looking profits. And maybe, just maybe, that’s why now is the best time to buy.

Make no mistake, real estate investing isn’t easy, and just buying any house WON’T make you rich. But, the 2023 housing market has far more opportunity than most people think, and David Greene, Henry Washington, and Rob Abasolo are here to explain how. These three investors have been gobbling up rental properties as quickly as possible. And even with lower margins, slim cash flow, and limited equity, there is some method to their madness.

If NOTHING you’re looking at is cash flowing and almost every home seems overpriced (especially with today’s mortgage rates), this is THE episode to tune into. In it, David, Henry, and Rob will detail how you can “create” a profitable property while the masses sit on the sidelines, as well as go over real, authentic deals they’re doing today to show you it isn’t impossible to invest in 2023.
