766: Explosive Growth Could Be in Store for These Two Real Estate Markets w/Kim Meredith-Hampton and Victor Steffen
Two real estate markets still look like they’ve got room to grow in 2023, even as home prices face downward pressure for high mortgage rates and days on market begin to creep up. Markets like these two exploded in 2020-2022 and are still seeing strong demographic signs that more growth could be on the way. But, as two markets that have witnessed some of the most dramatic price appreciation in history, is now a worthwhile time to invest?In this episode, we’re doing a market deep dive into two hot housing markets, Tampa, Florida, and Dallas, Texas. These two metro areas saw population booms like never before, shooting their home prices high and keeping competition hot, even as rates rise. But are these two markets starting to see a slowdown in 2023, or are there surefire signs that another wave of buyer activity is about to take place? With so many Americans moving to Texas and Florida, could this be the appreciation play of a lifetime?We’re joined by Kim Meredith-Hampton and Victor Steffen, realtors in the Tampa and Dallas areas, respectively, to talk with David Greene and Dave Meyer about the potential of these two property markets. They’ll touch on how to find cash flow even with high home prices, the strategies they’re using today to lock in wealth-building buys for their clients, and why the days of bidding wars and buyer ferocity may be far from over.In This Episode We Cover:Updates on the Tampa and Dallas markets and whether or not there are still opportunities to buyFlorida cash flow and whether or not the sunshine state has been tapped out of passive income The Texas “BEAF” strategy wealthy investors are using to buy better properties Short-term rental risk and regulations and what to do if your BnB gets banned Out-of-state investing and which investors should put money into these property marketsMortgage rate impacts and what high home costs have done to buyer competition And So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an AgentFind a LenderBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets MerchBPCON2023Listen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceLearn About Real Estate, The Housing Market, and Money Management with The BiggerPockets PodcastsGet More Deals Done with The BiggerPockets Investing ToolsFind a BiggerPockets Real Estate Meetup in Your AreaHear Dave on the “On the Market” PodcastSubscribe to the “On The Market” YouTube ChannelDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramDavid’s YouTube ChannelWork with DavidDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramCatch Up on The BiggerPockets Blog ArticlesCheck Out Dave’s Dallas and Tampa Articles:DallasTampaBooks Mentioned in the Show:Real Estate by Numbers by Dave Meyer Connect with Kim and Victor:Kim's BiggerPockets ProfileKim's EmailVictor's BiggerPockets ProfileVictor's WebsiteClick here to listen to the full episode: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-766Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

765: Seeing Greene: Out-of-State Mistakes, “Low Risk” Real Estate, & False Cash Flow
Real estate investing was never meant to be easy, but there are a few ways you can get started without putting a ton of your money or time at risk. Most real estate investors go gung-ho from the start, buying as many cheap rental properties as possible, only later to realize their mistake. But here’s the thing; you don’t need to invest in sketchy markets or buy dirt-cheap rentals to make money, you just need a bit of creativity if you want to get ahead.On this episode of Seeing Greene, we’re taking you through a plethora of investing strategies. We talk about how to invest in real estate when at the tail end of your career, whether to convert your garage into a rental or buy an out-of-state investment, the true cost of holding onto a risky rental property, and why your “cash flow” numbers probably aren’t what they seem.

That was until she started investing.Brittany was able to build a fifty-nine-unit rental property portfolio in just three years.

How do you go from absolute poverty to passive income in a short amount of time? What if you were raised on the other side of the world, where even a basic education had to be fought for, and every opportunity was a constant struggle? This is the real story of Yamundow Camara, who went from sleeping on a dirt floor in a small village of Gambia to making a million dollars per year thanks to real estate.Yamundow grew up in an environment foreign to many of us. When her parents passed away in her youth, she was forced to live with relatives that treated her as a nuisance, not someone worth nurturing. She slept on the floor of her family’s home and was sometimes lucky enough to have a cardboard box as a mattress.

She not only academically overachieved, but was able to do an INCREDIBLE amount of investing with almost no money, no credit score, and no experience in the industry.
