Don't Ignore Low Cash Flow Rental Properties

[@jarodfranklin1081]

I was telling my 4 year old why I listen to this show. And told her it’s because it helps me make more money by teaching me how to get others to pay me to live in homes that I own. Her mental wheels were turning, asked a few questions, and then said “ok dad can you keep playing it?” Thanks for giving my 4 year old a master class on real estate.

[@dimedavispresentstalkyospit]

I Love it ❤️

[@davidgreene2717]

I hope to make a fan of her!

[@hankking4878]

Wow, that was genius!!! Buy one primary property a year. I am too busy and I make too much money in my business to ever go into real estate FT.

[@linhpham6909]

Thank you David you are amazing

[@Rinaj77]

Thank you David as always!

[@MrPeterschmit]

I really love this format. I'm wondering if you could do something relating to estate planning. How could I create a virtual oil well for my heirs? A foundation of sorts maybe,... I don't want to burden them with having to sell my 5 houses (that I plan to acquire)?

[@desztino9829]

for the low cash flow deal ? what if theres was little or no equity and the owner let you take over the payment for 7 to 10 years? for say 5 to 10 percent down? thanks alot

[@DonesdeMotivacion]

I had 3 properties with loans at 2.7, 2.9, 3.5. I am out of cash since I invested in the Stock market and I'm 50% down. Should I be refinancing my low interest loans yo get more real estate or wait for the tides to go back to normal in the stock market to buy with profits?

[@dzikijohnny]

I am wondering what you invested in the stock market...I am guessing it was in single stocks etc and not mutual funds/ETSs. Can't imagine anywould advise you to refiance because you would pay higher interest rates and pay loan origination fees.There are other ways to get some cash out of your equity. Go to Bigger Pockets Forum.

[@HappyPenguin75034]

Noooooo. Stocks will come up. Unless you are in Roku or PayPal. That will take 10 years or - never to return.

[@Neilhouse5]

Hi David, thanks for this content! I heard you say the formula for return on equity is cashflow over equity, but I was reading a blog that said it's cashflow plus mortgage paydown plus market increase over equity. In their example they were using 3% for market increase and one year principal paydown. (I'd guess your way is correct because using the current market value and current mortgage balance minus last year's mortgage balance account for these two things, but the blog's numbers make my returns look a lot better lol!) Can you clarify?

[@CA-hs8qn]

Do all of these refis that you suggest take a hit on your credit and affect ability to get more loans? Specifically, asking in regards to the answer you gave to the fellow from Columbus ohio

[@davidgreene2717]

Not a credit hit no. But it can increase your DTI. We have loans that aren’t based on DTI (I use them). That’s how I get around that being a problem.

[@sadams6663]

May we please have more episode of Seeing Greene?

[@nickureta868]

Where do I get the book in your thumbnail pic?

[@midnitespecialist4872]

that’s a good question

[@loganroca]

Anywhere you get books at! Amazon, bigger pockets, Barnes and noble, etc buy rehab rent refinance repeat

[@mannymorales8094]

Amazon

[@biggerpockets]

You can get it directly from the BiggerPockets store! store.biggerpockets.com/products/buy-rehab-rent-refinance-repeat

[@loganroca]

David, you are the man! Thank you for answering my question! I didn’t even think of using a HELOC to get this renovation completed! I am reaching out to the ONE Brokerage now! Thank you again!

[@davidgreene2717]

Glad to help! Let me know how that goes.

[@almostastar2]

Great stuff as always Dave. I would sure like to hear more from you and Data Deli Mike about where you think the market is going over the next year.

[@erinsteward6594]

I call that the ‘Big 5’…….looking not only at cash flow but the pay down, tax benefits, value increase etc…..Big Picture baby😁

[@michaelelias2866]

Hi David, you asked this once and I got to say, I do kind of miss the intro with the "announcer guy". Any chance we could get Henry Washington to do it?

[@ZeeVeeio]

Any specific brokerages that will look at a property as STR and give you terms with that in mind?

[@davidgreene2717]

No this is more something a specific agent can help with, not a brokerage. Feel free to email me and I’ll get you connected with a loan officer who understands this

[@HandsomeSquidward1995]

Between May of this year, no later than April of next year, there’s going to be the biggest buying opportunity in real estate in the last 100 years.

[@kimhimes3244]

That person who was talking about cash flow had a short-term perspective in a long-term vehicle..I've made the same mistake, but due to this podcast and the Marvelous Mr. GREEN, my brain is in the long-term lane!! With all the tax and equity goodies sprinkled on top!!

[@ericolsen1573]

I’m curious about this. Do you employ the BRRR method? I’m interested in making my first rental property purchase and want to know if identifying a good turnkey cash flowing property or going for a BRRR is a better option to start off.

[@davidgreene2717]

Awesome!

I'm having trouble finding a lender for a short term rental. Do you have any suggestions?

[@som1980]

Where are you located?

[@dollarsenseinsights]

Hi, I am planning to get into my 1st house hack in a couple of months once I have just about enough reserve and downpayment but can you give some info on how can it be cash-flow positive in Canada given the high prices. I used the bigger pockets calculator but it is not even zero-sum. Thank You.

[@sergiolauramaldonado3098]

Great episode again! Thank you David!

[@HandsomeSquidward1995]

Questions should be 15seconds

[@TheChefAli]

What are some examples of “Real Estate related business”? What is meant by build a business vs investing? Aren’t both the same?

[@davidgreene2717]

This typically refers to having solid systems and hiring others to do the smaller tasks

[@patton9696]

So if you continue to buy as a primary owner, only to turn it into a rental in a year or so, isn’t that fraud? Can the bank do anything about it?

[@jeanlikedenim]

I believe the requirement is that you stay. In that primary for a minimum of a year

[@loganroca]

Most of the time the requirement is that you have the intention of staying in the home for at least a year. I’ve never heard of a bank ever coming after you because you only lived there for a year.

[@HappyPenguin75034]

A year usually.

[@Eastbaypisces]

pretty sure its 2 yrs cuz i had a neighbor who did that n he was there 2yrs def wasn't 1 year

[@TheWealthBuildingJourney]

Yup - it's an ellipsis (the three dots...)

[@raulcalderas8310]

How do I start?

[@som1980]

Buy a duplex. Live in one side, rent out the other.

[@dss9775]

And instead of renting, buy an acre of land, put 2 tiny houses on it and save. Live in 1 tiny house or RV and rent the other tiny house and save that money. Add another tiny house, rent it and save. $$$$$ And/Or put pads w/hookups on the land for tiny house owners to rent.

[@tiffanyholloway4480]

Brilliant

[@carlosserrano694]

Hi David! I have a str in Spain with a 20% down payment, in order to get another loan you have to put a 50% down payment as vacational home, I was wondering if it’s possible to finance real state investments in other countries. Thanks for answering rookie questions and spreading your knowledge.

[@paulcharbo636]

Hi David, I love the show! I have a 30 minute commute for my 9 - 5 and listening to these podcasts is a great use of that time. I think you may have misunderstood the second question regarding the low cash flow properties your listener has. I don't think he was asking if they were good deals - they obviously were great. However, now that he has taken most of the juice from the squeeze, I think he is asking if keeping those properties is still the way to go or should he sell them because of the opportunity costs. I assume if he refinanced that he still has 20% - 30% equity in these properties. Could he make more than the $100 -$200 per month by pulling that equity out and redeploying that money?

[@kylekotecha153]

You’re the man. We appreciate you David. You’ve done a great job with this channel. It could have gone one of two ways, and you absolutely made it better.

[@davidgreene2717]

Thanks Kyle!

[@AtumA1Day1]

Agreed my guy.

[@bobjohnson1212]

Robert kiyosaki would have charged you $1,000 for this information.

[@BluemazeWesley]

You need enough cash flow to be able to make repairs. He should have pulled out less money to be able to save for repairs.

[@johntexas7371]

I agree with one of the commenters. The rambling video questions are annoying. They make it almost impossible to watch the entire show. Please vet the questions better before airing them.

[@MetalBum]

(As someone who’s been investing in real estate for 15 years) I actually thought a lot of questions didn’t go into enough detail, but actually needed more context. There’s just so many variables and background to give correct answers in real estate and biz

[@helloromie]

I'm with the person who said there should be a 3 min cap . If the person mumbles and starts their stream of consciousness rant, he, she, or they should not make the cut.

[@curtiscrane2749]

I agree totally but I would add to that, cut anyone who has their phone/camera in their lap. I don’t care to see straight up your nostrils. If your ceiling fan is in the background you need to rethink your camera angle!

[@helloromie]

@@curtiscrane2749 Totally! People should know by now how to record and find the best angle. I'm watching now and the financial dude from David's The One Brokerage has his camera too high and we see the top of his head. We need to see eyes! Why is he not advised?!

[@armyfazer1410]

Yes, some of these questions could use a little editing.
