Episode notes

When is enough enough? When is it time to STOP investing in real estate? When you have a hundred units or a thousand? When can you step back and let the hard work and grind pay off so you can spend more time with your family, spouse, children, and loved ones? But maybe this is just the start of your real estate investing journey, so a better question would be: how to start investing when you DON’T have tons of money to get in the game? Whether you’re a couple of years away from early retirement or gearing up for your first rental, we’ve got you covered on this episode of Seeing Greene.

Full-time real estate investors David and Rob are back to answer your investor questions! This time around, live-caller Ethan wants to know when enough is enough. He’s built a big real estate portfolio, but his spouse is asking, “What’s the end goal?” Next, David and Rob share what’s going on in their own lives and the “perfect storm” that hit David head-on that could be headed your way. A young house hacker wants to know the best plan for his property after he moves out: rent by the room, turn it into a long-term rental, or go the short-term rental route. Finally, a homeowner with some sizable equity but no extra money asks if she should sell her low-rate primary residence and exchange it for some investment properties.
