Challenges and Strategies in Real Estate Investing

Ever heard the expression “what got you here won’t get you there”?

It’s especially true for real estate investors today. Instead of finding great deals – or getting bailed out thanks to rising values – you’ve got to make great deals and unlock hidden value.

So we brought in BiggerPockets Podcast host David Greene for a game of “How Do I…”, where he and Brandon break down 6 different real estate investing strategies, and how to execute each one – today – without putting yourself at risk of financial ruin.

Recorded in front of a live audience at the BetterLife REI Summit last month, this episode covers:
- Does traditional 20% down rental property investing still work in 2024?
- How to “make” the deal rather than finding it 
- Two things you must do to successfully BRRR in today’s market
- Why this is actually a great market for flipping houses
- Is it a good time to wholesale?
- How House hacking is up to 7X more efficient than buying rentals
- The risks of commercial real estate investing in this environment
- A super-detailed breakdown of cap rates and commercial vs. residential financing

Books Mentioned:
- Traction by Gino Wickman
- Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert R. Kiyosaki
