700: How Rob Dyrdek Fits Family, Real Estate, and $100M Businesses into His Day
Rob Dyrdek is one of the most well-known pro skaters, entrepreneurs, and media figures of all time. He essentially owned the MTV lineup for years with hit shows such as Rob & Big, Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory, and Ridiculousness. At first glance, Rob may look like a phenomenal skater who turned his passion into something profitable. But behind the half pipes is an almost unbelievable amount of discipline, wisdom, and time optimization that only a select few know about.Rob, like many entrepreneurs, ditched school early on when he realized that his talents were best used elsewhere. He left high school at sixteen, went on to compete in the highest level of skateboarding, and started his first company at seventeen. He was bringing in millions of dollars a year at an age where money is almost incomprehensible. Rob was fueled by creation, starting dozens of businesses that were doing millions in revenue but weren’t making a financial difference in his life. So, he took a high-level view of what was worth keeping and cut out everything but that.From then on Rob began investing down two major avenues—businesses and real estate. Most people who follow Rob know about the former, but very few know about the latter. Now, Rob’s on the show to help us celebrate the 700th episode of the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast and show us how we too can make millions of dollars by tracking every minute of our day as intelligently as possible. In This Episode We Cover:Becoming an entrepreneur and Rob’s earliest business venturesWhy quantity over quality is key when building businesses and brandsReal estate syndications and why Rob will only touch a certain type of propertyThe “soul-sucking” landlord life and why it is NOT for everyoneRob’s recession-proof plan that will make him millions even as investing fear peaksTracking your life and how doing so will make you richer and happier almost automaticallyBuilding your financial framework and how so many doors open after you do soAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an Investor-Friendly Real Estate AgentBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets MerchListen 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 AreaDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramDavid’s YouTube ChannelRob's YouTubeRob's InstagramRob's TikTokRob's TwitterRob's BiggerPockets ProfileWhy Elite Investors Know Exactly How Much Their Time Is WorthSyndications and Everything You Need to Know BEFORE You InvestHere’s What It Takes to Succeed as an EntrepreneurConnect with Rob Dyrdek:Rob's WebsiteRob's InstagramRob's TwitterRob's PodcastClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-700Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

699: Seeing Greene: How Do I Buy Another Property When My DTI is Too High?
Having a high DTI (debt-to-income) ratio is enough to stop many would-be investors from taking the leap and buying their first, or next, rental property. So, what do you do when your income isn't enough to buy the next property? What if you've used up all your financeability on your primary residence or house hack? How can you squeeze out a loan to buy another property?We’re back on another Seeing Greene episode, where your “one away from seven hundred” host, David Greene, is here to give you practical advice on buying and selling properties. In today’s episode, we take multiple video and written submissions, with topics touching on how to buy more real estate when your debt-to-income is maxed out, what to do with a dangerous tenant, refinancing at today’s high interest rates, and why off-market deals aren’t always what they seem to be.

697: BiggerNews December: 3 Coast-to-Coast Markets We’d Invest in Next Year
Each real estate market has its own type of flavor. Some are short-term rental markets, others are affordable cash-flowing long-term rental markets, and many are in between, capitalizing on strong appreciation with enough monthly profit to keep investors going. The great thing about investing in the US is that we have fifty states' worth of land to buy, improve, and rent out. And today, we’ll be looking at three specific markets, all with wildly different price ranges and profit potential for 2023.Welcome back to this month’s BiggerNews, where your host Dave Meyer (not David Greene *gasp*) will be interviewing three of the most elite agents across the United States. We’ll talk to Rob Chevez, the investor and experienced agent operating in our nation’s capital, Washington, DC. You’ll also hear from Dahlia Khalaf, managing broker of ASN Realty Group in affordable Oklahoma. And, of course, we’ve got David Greene, California’s favorite realtor, here to talk about why sunny San Diego deserves an investment from you.With mid-priced markets like DC, affordable real estate in Oklahoma, and massively-appreciating west-coast properties to build your wealth, this episode of BiggerNews shows you how you can invest in ANY of these markets and build wealth in 2023. The agents also talk about the strategies that are working in each market and some of the major pitfalls you could stumble upon if you aren’t a local expert.Need to find an agent in your neck of the woods?

696: How to Plan for (and CRUSH) Your 2023 Goals
It’s 2023 goal-setting time! For some investors, setting goals is a coveted experience where they get to center themselves and plan for the coming year. For others, setting goals can seem stressful as there are too many shiny objects always around to chase. This type of dichotomy exists even among the most experienced investors, as you’ll see in this episode. David Greene, everyone’s favorite investor, agent, broker, and mentor, systematically sets his goals, while Rob “Robuilt” Abasolo, the internet’s short-term rental oracle, does things a bit differently.In this episode, you’ll get a peek behind the scenes at how two very successful investors set goals in two very different ways. But this isn’t just about real estate investing and building wealth. David and Rob both touch on the personal goals they’ve set out for themselves and how they organically intertwine with the lofty investing goals they’ve set for 2023.David and Rob both want to grow their wealth substantially in 2023. But this doesn’t mean that they’re just hungry for doors. You’ll hear a crucial tip on how top real estate investors focus more on revenue than on unit count and how mistakenly chasing more properties could put you in a stressed-out situation without much to show for it! If you’re ready to tackle some of your biggest goals yet, tune in to this episode, and bring a planner while you’re at it!In This Episode We Cover:How to crush your 2023 goals by revamping and reviewing your 2022 plansConstantly updating your MINS (most important next steps) to hit goals even fasterThe struggles of outsourcing and hiring and why you MUST do it to growThe “more doors” trap that investors often find themselves falling intoBuilding your vision for the next year and basing your goals on an end-resultContent creation, building your brand, and becoming a bigger figure in the real estate spaceAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an Investor-Friendly Real Estate AgentBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets MerchListen 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 AreaDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramDavid’s YouTube ChannelRob's YouTubeRob's InstagramRob's TikTokRob's TwitterRob's BiggerPockets ProfileHear Our 2022 Goal Setting EpisodeLandlord Tax Loopholes That’ll Help You Pay ZERO Taxes in 20223 Simple Steps to Set Achievable (Yet Ambitious!)

How much billionaire advice have you gotten? Ever decided to look up the wealthiest people in your area and give them a call? What type of tips could they give you for success? What business ideas would they push you to try? And how would your life change? Instead of speculating, at a young age, Andrew J. Abernathey tried out this strategy, and much to his surprise, he got the billionaire mentor he always dreamed of.Before that, Andrew was just a simple farm boy.

Andrew has been making incredible moves at almost unbelievably young ages. But we haven’t even touched on the most incredible part of his journey yet.

692: Fighting Cancer, Financial Freedom, and 20 Units in 2 Years/Josh Goldstein
Financial freedom isn’t something that most Americans strive towards. For the most part, working at a job, getting a steady paycheck, and bringing home the bacon is enough. That is until something forcibly stops you from working. It could be a workplace injury, a family emergency, or even a cancer diagnosis. What do you do when you can’t work or provide for your family, all while fighting a life-threatening disease?Josh Goldstein was in this exact situation in 2015 when doctors gave him a rough diagnosis—pancreatic cancer. Josh and his wife knew that he could make it through the treatments, but the financial problem still loomed largely. How would they be able to pay the bills, take care of their kids, or continue living the life they loved without any money coming in from Josh’s work? The answer—real estate investing.After years of analysis paralysis and a deep obsession with BiggerPockets content (woohoo!), Josh bought his first property as the world was starting to shut down. But he didn’t let the lockdowns stop his plan to hit financial freedom fast. Over the past two years, Josh has gone from zero to twenty units, some of which he’s never laid eyes on before. This portfolio, which was built out of a life-threatening situation, is now bringing in hundreds of thousands a year for Josh’s family, providing them well-earned financial independence.In This Episode We Cover:Solving life’s hardest problems (even when they threaten to kill you!)Building your foundation for financial freedom today so you’ll never be out of optionsKicking analysis paralysis to the curb and the simple way to start investing in real estateLong-distance real estate investing and why it isn’t as scary as you may thinkShort-term rental saturation and what will happen as hosts buy more and more homesWhy you always want to double-check the battery life on your home’s smart locks And So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an Investor-Friendly Real Estate AgentBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets MerchListen 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 AreaDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramHenry's BiggerPockets ProfileHenry's InstagramBiggerPockets Podcast 340 with Whitney HuttenBiggerPockets Podcast 364 with Avery CarlBooks Mentioned in the ShowRich Dad Poor Dad by Robert KiyosakiLong-Distance Real Estate Investing by David GreeneConnect with Josh:Josh's BiggerPockets ProfileJosh's InstagramJosh's EmailClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-692Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

691: Painless Property Management 101 w/Ryan Barone from RentRedi
Property management has always been a sensitive subject for landlords. Most real estate investors either want to be completely hands-off, letting a property manager handle the entirety of their leasing and management, OR be hands-on, constantly dealing with tenant issues themselves. And for a long time, there wasn’t a great way to self-manage. You either ran your business off scraps of paper or insufficient spreadsheets. But it’s 2022, and this has completely changed.When Ryan Barone was applying for his first apartment, he was blown away by how complicated the tenant application process was. So, he built an app that made it easier for tenants to upload all their documents to landlords. Then, the landlords started reaching out to Ryan asking for a tenant management version of the software. As a result, RentRedi was born, and has slowly grown to become one of the most popular property management tools around!Ryan credits much of his success to early BiggerPockets users, who constantly tested and tried RentRedi when it was in early development. Now, the software is fully formed—used by tens of thousands of investors across the country. And it comes standard with a BiggerPockets Pro Membership! If you want to know how to manage your properties without the headaches (or high costs) of regular property management, stick around. Ryan gives a full demo on how you can start using RentRedi today!In This Episode We Cover:Common landlord and tenant headaches and how RentRedi instantly solves themReporting, rent collection, bookkeeping, and more features you can get with RentRediHow to start self-managing as a new landlord even if you have no experienceHow RentRedi used BiggerPockets users as beta testers to build the best property management software aroundOutsourcing and delegating tasks so you can build your business faster than ever beforeTurning tenant problems into profits and managing your rentals without breaking the bankAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an Investor-Friendly Real Estate AgentBiggerPockets Youtube ChannelBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets Pro MembershipBiggerPockets BookstoreBiggerPockets BootcampsBiggerPockets PodcastBiggerPockets MerchListen 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 AreaDavid's BiggerPockets ProfileDavid's InstagramTry RentRedi Today!Angel.coRob's BiggerPockets ProfileRob's YoutubeRob's InstagramRob's TikTokRob's TwitterConnect with Ryan:Ryan's BiggerPockets ProfileClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-691Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?
