How to Turn 1 Rental Property into MANY (The Right Way)

Episode #825
Have a rental property? What if you could use it to buy even more rentals, build your real estate portfolio, and have a steady stream of passive income flowing into your bank account? On today’s Seeing Greene, one viewer is asking exactly how to do that, and while his strategy could work, it may not be the best move with mortgage rates so high and deal flow so low. So, what would David do instead?
It’s Sunday, so we’re taking listener questions directly from rookies, veteran investors, and those wanting to retire early. In this episode, David pokes holes in the “cash-out refinance to buy a new property” strategy. We also hear from two late starters who want to get a jump on their retirement, a burnt-out property manager looking for the best way to scale, an equity-heavy investor who’s debating buying a rental or lending out his money, and a reviewer who was scammed by the real estate “gurus.”
Want to ask David a question? If so, submit your question here (www.biggerpockets.com/david?u...) 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!

    Get a HELOC on the paid off property then use it as the capital resource to buy the new cash flowing property by using the BRRRR strategy to restore the HELOC when you refinance it.

    Just pre-ordered! I’m excited to read this. I devoured “Choose FI” a few years ago. Now, I’m excited to read a book that is focused more on the making money-side and the power of real estate as a means of retirement income. Just bought my first STR this year and hoping to add 1-2 more per year going forward!

    Hey Gregory! It's awesome to hear your story about making money from your short-term rentals. You mentioned inheriting some money, and it's smart to use it to make more money and secure your family's future. Investing in homes that need a bit of fixing up or even considering buying houses that need work and then selling them at a profit could be a great way to go.

    For the first question asker, at 6:30 in the video, David says "I'm not a huge fan of putting debt on existing properties to buy new properties." Really?!? David wrote the BRRRR book which is all about taking money out of existing properties to buy new properties. Just as David recommends for the second question asker.

    Hi i follow your channel with bog interest despite me not living in the us. I live in dubai and i want to built a real estate portfolio as retirement plan. Here is a totally different market than us and it is very volatile. I already pulled the trigger on a premium 1 bed on a off plan payment and i wanted to ask you a question. I want for my next move/buy to go for rental property in order to get some cash flow. Here the payment thru the bank is 20% downpaymwnt + 5% charges. When you go for 75% mortgage from bank, i didn t find any single property in dubai wich will give you extra cash flow after paying service cherges wich are very high over here. The question is , is it still worth going for such a plan if let s say the rental pays off the morgage? In that case should i rely on capital appreciation wich is very up and down? What would be your suggestion for a fuy like me ? I m 46 yrs old and looking to build a real estate retirement plan. Thks Sami

    Wooo Hooo 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Kudos to you, passive income concept is the largest lie 🤣🤣 Even a billionaire must at least manage their money, liabilities, and assets to remain a billionaire = Active! Investment in the stock marketplace is not passive growth. There is an entire team working actively to keep the fund relevant and profitable. The investor must actively keep their life in check so they don’t need to tap into savings/investments to fix hiccups. Great video!!🎉🎉

    The change of tone is stark between the the podcasts from 6 yrs ago and today. We need to be real with ourselves. Now is an absolute horrendous time to buy real estate. 40% national increase in 3 yrs, 2x-3x increase in the cost of money. And while rents have gone up in 3 yrs as well, they are now stagnant nationally, and declining avg in many markets. You will need to both be creative and persistent in this market. So that means you don't find shit on the MLS. You have to make your own deals, off market, creatively. People need to wake up to reality. I bet majority of regular BP guests between 2015-2020 aren't even buying anymore. The days of just browsing the MLS and running a rental calc are over

    If I was the guy with $900k and at his stage in life I'd just put it into a 5% money market and enjoy the guaranteed $45k/yr interest income. No hassles, no work, and it's liquid. Who needs the headaches of flipping houses or being a landlord when your health is declining and you just want to enjoy life?
