747: Seeing Greene: “Amplifying” Your Equity and When to Pay Off Debt vs. Invest


Listen Later

Want to buy rental properties while the market is down? If you didn’t already know, you could be sitting on the perfect funding source found right under your own feet. But with today’s mortgage rates still double what they were last year, is taking out any of your equity a mistake, or could this be the opportunity of a lifetime to scoop up some sweet real estate deals at a stellar price? We’ve got our expert investor, lender, broker, and ship-metaphor-making host, David Greene, to give you his wealth-building secrets.

Welcome back to another Seeing Greene, where we take questions live from BiggerPockets listeners on how you can retire early with real estate, build a business you love, and create generational wealth. This time, we’ve got questions on how to use home equity to buy more property, then we debate cash flow vs. appreciation and which is a better bang for your buck. We’ll also compare commercial vs. residential real estate and explain how these two seemingly similar assets operate VERY differently. And finally, David gives his favorite news sources on where to learn about the economy, the housing market, inflation, and every other variable that’ll help you make intelligent investing decisions!

Want to ask David a question? If so, submit your question here so David can answer it on the next episode of Seeing Greene. Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can hop on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot!
