House flipping is a very potent form of investing. After just one fix and flip, many investors find themselves hooked, leaving their stable jobs for the profit (and rush) or finishing another flip. This happened quickly to Jason Pritchard, flipper and rental property investor in central California. Jason was working at a sales job he hated and after watching one of the many famous HGTV flipping shows, thought, “Hey, I could do that!”
He gave it a try, using his life savings and retirement funds available to him. It was a success, so he decided to scale up. One flip grew to a few, and now, Jason's team does over seventy-five flips and wholesale deals per year! This incredible volume didn’t happen overnight—it took Jason seven years to go from W2 worker to one of the best flippers in the state! And it’s not just flipping Jason is after. He’s been able to grow a massive rental property portfolio, some eighty-three units, at the same time!
You’re probably wondering how Jason did this so fast. Worry not, as he details every step from how he finds leads, builds a team, pays the taxman, and even compensates employees. If you’re trying to get your foot into the flipping door, Jason’s story should inspire you to do almost exactly what he did.

Should I pay off my rental property or reinvest? How do I replace my six-figure salary with cash flow from real estate investing? And what’s the best way to analyze crime BEFORE I invest in an area? You asked, and we’re here to answer on this episode of Seeing Greene as we take questions from rookie real estate investors, veterans in the rental property game, and everyone in between. If you want to scale your portfolio faster or quit your job with real estate, this is the place to be!
First, we take a question from a high-earner asking whether they should pay off their rental properties OR use their extra money to build a bigger portfolio faster. A fledgling house hacker wants to know the best way to analyze an investing area for crime now that many online listing websites have taken down this data. A business owner is struggling to find real estate write-offs and asks for help, and a rental property investor needs to know which commercial real estate investment boasts the biggest cash flow. Finally, an anonymous question comes in from a techie who’s about to lose their job. How can they replace their six-figure income with rental properties fast?
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 jump on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot! 
In This Episode We Cover:
Whether to pay off your mortgages early or reinvest to build a bigger portfolio
Replacing your salary with real estate income and why you may want to get a job instead 
How to analyze an investment area for crime with limited online data 
The short-term rental tax loophole that could save you a TON on taxes
Will an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) add value to your property on an appraisal?
Cash-flowing commercial real estate investments and why top investors pay attention to something else 
And So Much More!

936: 4 Ways to Start Investing in Real Estate with NO or LOW Money

Mortgage rates are high, supply is low, and inflation just won’t go away. These market conditions make investing in real estate harder than ever…or so most investors think. The truth? This housing market isn’t all that different from years past, and if you know which moves to make, you can get ahead of all the other investors without them noticing. What do we mean? We’ve got a seasoned investor with over thirty years of rental property experience on the show, ready to share how buying during “high” rates can be a huge advantage.
But that’s not all we’re getting into on this BiggerNews episode. We’ve got questions directly from BiggerPockets listeners that we’re throwing at expert investor Kathy Fettke to see what time-tested advice she’d give. First, a listener wants to know why mortgage rates aren’t falling and how to get into the real estate investing game during a time like this. Then, we discuss how investors can save themselves against inflation. With a spike in part-time work, could the American economy be showing signs of weakness? Finally, we answer the question everyone has on their minds: Is it the darn millennials’ fault for causing these high home prices?
Want to ask a question for a future BiggerNews episode? Post your question in the BiggerPockets forums and get answers from a community of over 2,000,000 real estate investors!
In This Episode We Cover:
Mortgage rates explained and why interest rates are staying so high
Sneaky ways to snag a LOW interest rate in 2024 (Kathy got 4.75%!)
The best hedge against inflation and how to protect the money you have
Rising part-time work and whether or not this is a recession warning sign 
Did millennials cause this unaffordable housing market?
And So Much More!

935: BiggerNews: Investing with High Rates, Stubborn Inflation, & Low Supply w/Kathy Fettke

With so many real estate tax write-offs, it’s no wonder that CPA Brandon Hall says rental real estate is one of the most tax-advantaged assets on the planet. But, even with so much free-flowing information on how to pay less to Uncle Sam, most real estate investors are missing out on a MASSIVE tax deduction that could be saving them thousands, if not tens of thousands, on their tax bill. What’s the write-off that even our host, Dave Meyer, didn’t know about? Stick around, or walk away from a HUGE tax savings.
Brandon Hall is a real estate investor-focused CPA. He knows the deductions, write-offs, and audit red flags that could be helping or hurting you. Today, he’s walking through whether or not you need a tax professional (a LOT of people DON’T), why you need to start tax planning BEFORE you buy your first property, the biggest real estate tax write-off that most people miss, and why you should WAIT to file your taxes to see if a MASSIVE real estate tax benefit is making a much-awaited comeback.
Need a tax professional to help you make the right tax moves? Find one for FREE with BiggerPockets Tax Finder.
In This Episode We Cover:
The big real estate write-off that most investors are completely overlooking
Why you should WAIT to file your taxes in case this MASSIVE tax benefit returns
Who should (and definitely shouldn’t) be doing their own taxes 
Scaling your portfolio? Why you MUST start strategically planning your taxes now
The biggest audit red flags that are NOT worth the deduction (watch out for these!)
A bonus depreciation update and how this could save you hundreds of thousands
And So Much More!

934: How to Pay Less Taxes by Buying Real Estate (1 Write-Off You’re Overlooking) w/Brandon Hall

If you follow these Airbnb design tips, you could double your nightly rates almost instantly. Don’t believe us? Erica Dike, a short-term rental design expert, has done it before and is sharing her “designing for dollars” formula ANYONE can use to boost nightly rates, double revenue, or increase their bookings. Erica, like many of us, has seen the standard Airbnb designs. You know what we’re talking about—the sterile walls and lack of color, or the obscurely small dining room table for a cabin that’s supposed to sleep ten. Erica’s designs go far beyond what most guests expect, and that’s why she’s been so successful.
Erica gives us the three steps to her “designing for dollars” formula, plus seven tips that ANY Airbnb, medium-term, or long-term rental investor can use to attract their target guest/renter and start making more money than ever before. Plus, if you’re a host with a lackluster short-term rental and are looking for some quick design ideas to spruce up your space, Erica shows you step-by-step how to refresh your rental for MORE revenue!
No matter what space you’re in—vacation rentals, travel nurse housing, student rentals, or fix-and-flips—these design tips will blow your potential renters and buyers away, leaving you with more money than the house next door. Ready for Erica to “crack the code” on Airbnb design? Let’s get into it!
In This Episode We Cover:
How Erica doubled a client’s Airbnb revenue with smart design strategies
The “designing for dollars” formula that’ll get you more bookings on Airbnb
How to define your “target market” and attract the exact guests you want 
The seven steps you can use NOW to get higher rents on your short-term rental
Why long-term rental landlords MUST pay attention to design to attract the best tenants
The first thing to do if you think your Airbnb needs a redesign or refresh
And So Much More!
