Multifamily real estate is still offering some significant opportunities to investors—you just need to know where to look! Although the past two years have been rough for multifamily, with falling rents, rising interest rates, and higher vacancy, we may be on the way out of this vicious multifamily market we found ourselves in just a year or so ago. With new multifamily construction predicted to dry up significantly over the next few years, current multifamily rents are already beginning to rise. So, where should YOU be buying to take advantage of this positive trend?
Thomas LaSalvia, from Moody’s Analytics CRE, joins us to give a multifamily real estate update and share where to find the best multifamily opportunities in 2024. With some markets still seeing more supply than demand, investors could pick up deals from distressed owners. Plus, one often-forgotten region may see demand pick up in a big way—if you invest here, you could get ahead of the curve!
We’ll also discuss how multifamily rents have been performing, why new multifamily construction will see a huge slowdown in 2025 - 2026, whether today’s sluggish economy will affect multifamily, and the one big danger multifamily real estate investors (and future investors) CANNOT overlook.

Should I pay off my rentals or scale to more doors? Should I start flipping houses in my local but expensive market or go long-distance? When is the time to move from residential to commercial real estate? We’ve got some crucial questions to answer on today’s Seeing Greene as David and Rob tackle the best ways to build wealth and set yourself up for retirement in 2024. Want to reach financial freedom faster? Then, this is the show for you.
First, an investor who eagerly wants to retire asks whether he should flip houses in the expensive San Francisco Bay Area or begin in a lower-priced area. Next, when is it time to scale vs. pay off your rental properties? When partnering on a house hack, who’s responsible for what, and how do you split up the finances? Finally, a return caller asks about the pros and cons of residential vs. commercial real estate and whether bigger properties will help him reach his goal of retiring with a sizable rental portfolio.

Airbnb bans escalate, a “tsunami” could be coming for this real estate niche, and “sinking” cities lead to skyrocketing insurance prices. The housing market changes every week, so we’re here to break down the headlines and sift through the hype so you know what could impact YOU. Dave Meyer and the entire On the Market panel are here to discuss four of the top real estate-related news stories from this week.
First, we discuss the commercial real estate credit crunch that could cause a “tsunami” in the office investing space. Next, one major European city will ban Airbnb by 2028 in an effort to give locals a better chance at buying their first home. Will it work, or is it just a move to get more votes? With the dust of the NAR settlement settling, homebuyers could face thousands in fees to work with an agent, but will this stop homebuying?
Before we go over our last headline, make sure you’re standing on solid ground because “sinking” cities are becoming the new norm. Is your home slowly sliding off a cliff? If so, your insurance costs could be rising even higher. We’ll get into this story and the rest of the relevant real estate news on this episode!
In This Episode We Cover
A world without Airbnb and whether the newest ban could actually help homebuyers
Another “tsunami” coming for real estate and whether there’s truth behind the hype
Private equity’s new plan to gobble up even more real estate as one niche suffers
More fees for homebuyers as agent commissions change, but will this have to be paid out of pocket?
“Sinking” cities causing rising insurance costs and sliding home values

In this episode, we’re sharing two of the real estate markets we’re investing in NOW. One you may have heard of and one you probably haven’t. Both have strong long-term fundamentals, a sizable renter population, and more demand than meets supply. Which markets are we talking about, and why did we pick them over the thousands of other real estate markets across America? We’ll go into detail on today’s show!
Dave and Henry are sharing two of their favorite real estate markets, both seeing sizable returns EVEN in 2024. First, Henry talks about the buy and hold goldmine of a town with low-priced homes, strong rents, and sizable cash flow. Plus, with “opportunistic rehabs,” Henry is seeing his cash flow explode with some basic home renovations. Next, for the passive investors, Dave talks about a syndication deal that’s so good it’s giving him bonus distributions! With many passive investments seeing poor returns this year, Dave may make it rich with this historically relevant real estate market.

Life happens, and you’ve accumulated some debt. You’re wondering how to buy real estate EVEN with a high DTI (debt-to-income) ratio. Whether it’s good debt, like rental property mortgages, or bad debt, like credit card debt, holding you back, David and Rob have some ideas to help YOU grow your real estate portfolio faster, make more passive income, and get yourself out of the red!
In this Seeing Greene, we’re talking about good, bad, and ugly debt. First, a house hacker hits hurdles when trying to buy his next property due to his current mortgage. Thankfully, there’s a way to get around this using the “sneaky rental” strategy. An investor with a growing portfolio struggles to find a bookkeeper who can keep his finances together WITHOUT costing him an arm and a leg; David and Rob give two very different pieces of advice. Got bad debt? We give an investor options on what he should do to consolidate his $40,000 credit card balance.
Wondering when to refinance your mortgage? A repeat caller asks whether a cash-out refinance on one of his properties is worth the rate increase and closing costs. Finally, what would you do with two houses on one lot? Renovate them and sell one? Keep them both as rentals? And how would you fund the renovation? David and Rob give their takes and a HUGE red flag that everyone trying to “subdivide” land should know about.
In This Episode We Cover
How to scale your real estate portfolio FAST with the “sneaky rental” strategy (even if you have debt!)
When to refinance your mortgage and whether a higher rate is worth cash in the bank
Bookkeeping for real estate investing beginners and how to not lose yourself in spreadsheets

Heather Blankenship has made $10,000,000 alone from just one RV park investment. She got into it with no money and zero experience. While pregnant with her first child, Heather answered the phones, paid the bills, laid mulch, and slept on the office floor, working long days and longer nights to do anything she could to keep the campground running. Over a decade later, she has a $30,000,000 portfolio, with her first campground worth almost half that amount. How did she do it, and can you repeat her same investing strategy?
In her new book, Real Estate Campgrounds, Heather dives into the almost unbelievable streams of income you can create from just one campground or RV park investment. In today’s show, she shares the different ways you can make money (and cash flow!) from your first campground investment, what to know before you buy, and how rental property owners can transition from single-family or multifamily rentals to campground investments.
We also bust some myths that have probably stopped you from investing in this lucrative asset class before. Do you need a ton of money? Nope. Do you need a HUGE campground? Not really. Should you have hospitality experience? Maybe. Heather started with ZERO real estate investing experience and now is a campground multimillionaire! Want to follow in her footsteps? Don’t miss this episode!
In This Episode We Cover
How Heather’s campgrounds create over ten income streams (BIG cash flow!)
Making millions by buying overlooked RV parks and campgrounds
The biggest expense of running campgrounds and why you CAN’T get this wrong
What you should know BEFORE you buy a campground to ensure you make money

Will the new jobs report finally prompt the Fed to cut rates, leading to you scoring a lower mortgage rate? With multifamily rents still falling, should we fear a nosediving rent trend in the near future? And why are all these traditionally overlooked investing markets becoming the new rental property hot spots? You asked, and on this episode of BiggerNews, we’re answering. We’ve taken top questions from the BiggerPockets forums and are answering them on today’s show!
It wouldn’t be a BiggerNews episode without talking about the Federal Reserve. With the latest job numbers pointing in the right direction, is this the final signal the Fed needs before they start cutting rates? Or is there a specific unemployment rate we must hit for the Fed to give us some interest rate relief? Next, we’re talking about the continuously “softening” rents around the country. One sector is actually seeing rents grow, but if you’re not seeing that with your rentals, how do you ensure your tenants stay put and keep paying you rent? We’re giving our expert tips on mitigating falling (or stagnating) rents.
Next, we’re highlighting the “affordable” investing hotspots popping up throughout the country as the cost of living increases. Are these markets actually worth investing in, or are the big cities going to have better returns once they bounce back? Finally, should you wait to save up emergency reserves and risk home prices rising OR buy your first property now? We share exactly what we did in the same position when we first started investing.
In This Episode We Cover
Fed rate cut updates and how close we could be to mortgage rates finally falling
The “softening” rent trend and what you can do NOW to ensure your rent prices stay put
Why the oversupply of multifamily rentals could actually reverse soon
The new “affordable” investing areas that are emerging across the US (and whether we’d buy there)
Emergency reserves 101 and whether you should buy now or keep saving
And So Much More!
