Your real estate cash flow is suffering. Rent growth is slowing, mortgage rates are rising, and property prices are staying put. So where can you find more room to profit with your rental property? The answer is medium-term rentals! Until a couple of years ago, medium-term rentals, also called corporate rentals or traveling nurse rentals, were the sleepy investing strategy that only experienced investors like Jesse Vasquez knew about. But now, they’ve become (arguably) the best rental property on the planet.
With medium-term rentals, you can often make four (or more) times the rent than a regular rental. You’ll also have minimal turnover, more professional tenants, and be able to book out your place at a high monthly rate for four, five, or six months at a time. They’re easier to manage than short-term rentals but have substantially more cash flow than long-term rentals. So, how do you get in on this high-cash flow craze?
We brought Jesse back to the show for a step-by-step tutorial on starting, running, and profiting with a medium-term rental. He gives in-depth answers on how much it costs to start, the best locations to buy (or rent), how to get the biggest rental contracts from top corporations, amenities guests will expect, and what to charge. If you want to take your rental property from break-even to making bank, this is the strategy for you!
01:01:31 Connect with Jesse!How to Design the PERFECT Floor Plan (From an Expert Flipper)BiggerPockets2023-06-17 | Your floor plan is arguably as important as the house you’re buying, building, flipping, or renovating. With today's homebuyers looking for open spaces, natural light, and modern design, your floor plan can make THE difference when you put your house up for sale. So what should a new house flipper or home renovator look for when walking a potential property? And what red flags can you spot at first glance that could cost you tens of thousands during a fast-paced rehab?
We asked James Dainard, a fifteen-year flipping veteran in the Seattle area, to explain how he designs the perfect floor plan for his renovations. He touches on the three things you MUST pay attention to before putting your plan in place and how to look at comparable sales in the area to maximize the bang for your buck. Renovations can go over budget quickly, and if you’re not designing your property to make the most, you could be left in the red when a rehab is finished.
Even if you’ve never designed a floor plan before, James’ tips will help you make use of wasted space and open up your property to enhance its natural features while helping your bottom line. You don’t have to be an architect or engineer to take some of these tips to heart, so stick around!
Insurance myths could be costing you THOUSANDS of dollars a year! You might THINK that having a low deductible landlord insurance policy is enough because everyone online tells you to make room for cash flow. But when disaster strikes, you’re the one stuck with thousands, if not tens of thousands, in costs you haven't accounted for. Or what about when a burglar breaks into your rental and steals all your things? You’re probably covered, right? Wrong!
Getting the right landlord insurance can make or break your deal, but you don’t have to tell Jesse Vasquez that. Jesse has been through the wringer with break-ins, floods, collapsed roofs, and more! You never think the improbable will happen until it happens to you. So, to stop you from losing your property during a bad storm, fire, or flood, Jesse will debunk the biggest landlord insurance myths that could cost you your property!

The key to financial freedom? Work as a pizza delivery driver! Not only will you learn how to handle high-pressure situations, but you might also find your next property on a regular pizza run! At least that’s what Pamela Bardhi did to build her twenty-seven-unit rental property portfolio and reach financial independence in her late twenties! Pamela’s family moved to the United States when she was just five years old, thrusting her into the restaurant business before she realized that real estate was her true passion.
Pamela did everything right. She studied hard, got scholarships, worked at internships, and built her own business, but she was still miserable. Working every day of the week, often twelve hours at a time, was eating away at her. She wanted some side income to help her dial back the time spent building her business, but when her first deal turned into a $100,000 profit, the property game was too enticing to resist. Since then, she’s scaled to massive heights and wants you to do the same.
With twenty-seven rental units, over one hundred deals done, and a financially free lifestyle by thirty-one, Pamela knows what it takes to build a property portfolio FAST. But she also knows what can make it crumble. Pamela shares her three BIGGEST lessons learned from doing over one hundred deals and how she turned delivering pizzas into a passive income stream that will create generational wealth for her whole family.

For years, investors have been holding fire sales, trying to get rid of these pieces of real estate as quickly as possible. With demand falling off a cliff, subleases hitting new highs, and even more inventory about to hit the market, this real estate investing niche might be the riskiest bet we’ve seen in a long time. Which asset class is it, and what should you do if you own any of these properties?
Dave Meyer, BiggerPockets VP of Data and Analytics, has the data to prove the market crash predictors right. Investors of this asset class have seen vacancy rates hit highs that even 2008’s global financial crash couldn't compete with. And it doesn’t look like there’s any hope on the horizon. While this may be bad news for investors who currently own this asset type, new investors trying to enter the market could be picking up deals for dimes on the dollar. But you’ll need to be extremely careful when investing because the next few years could get rough.
Do you think the real estate forecasts for this asset class are overhyped? Or could this market crash be even worse than we think? Let us know in the comments below!

If you want to build a rental portfolio, you need to know how to scale the right way. Buying a property every year or two is good, but it won’t give you the financial freedom you desire. However, if you know how to double, triple, or quadruple the amount of real estate you’re acquiring without adding tons of tasks (or stress) to your plate, you could be financially independent faster than you’ve ever thought. This is precisely what Niti Jamdar & Palak Shah did, building a ten-million-dollar real estate portfolio in less than a decade.
As two burnt-out corporate workers, Niti and Palak were tired of putting their jobs before their future family. So after having children, they realized it was time to start building something that would help them regain their freedom instead of shackling them to golden handcuffs. With a busy schedule and little time, Niti and Palak were forced to automate, delegate, and systematize their real estate business. And now, you can copy their exact steps.
In their newest book, “Accelerate Your Real Estate: Build a Hands-Off Rental Portfolio with the SCALE Strategy,” Niti and Palak uncover the five-step system to unlock eight-figure wealth. They used this same strategy to build their portfolio with little free time or money to throw at projects. In this episode, they’ll review these five BRRRR-inspired steps, explain why today’s market isn’t what most people think it is, and debunk the myths that’ll stop you from investing.

That’s right, not twenty-five, not twenty, but FIVE percent down. With a lower down payment, you can buy in the best neighborhood, have plenty of money left over to upgrade your rental, AND keep more money in your pocket for your next income property. But, if low-money down real estate was that easy, why isn’t everyone doing it? Christian Bachelder and David Greene are here to explain.
Most real estate investors think they can ONLY buy investment properties with twenty or twenty-five percent down. While this is right, it’s also wrong. Using this “sneaky” rental property tactic, you can buy homes without much cash, live for free, and walk away with thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands in extra equity. You can sell the property a few years later and take home some tax-free profits, or keep it as a rental and make cash flow forever. So, what’s the tactic, and how can you get in on it? Stick around to find out!

With retirement coming up in a couple of decades (or even years), what can you do to build the nest egg that’ll allow you to enjoy your time away from work?

Instead, David will touch on some of the most crucial questions about real estate investing. From building your retirement with rentals to investing in “cheap” out-of-state markets, buying mobile homes as vacation rentals, and why you CAN’T control cash flow, but you can control something MUCH more important.

Three housing markets could be primed for massive growth this summer. While boom towns like Austin, Boise, and Denver saw huge price run-ups just to suffer from devastating declines, the three markets we’re looking at today have kept their prices stable while increasing their populations and keeping inventory at rock-bottom levels. With more residents moving in but not enough homes on the market, price hikes could be in the cards for any of these markets.
We’re back with our VP of Data and Analytics at BiggerPockets, Dave Meyer. Dave has been keeping a sharp eye on the southeast, and for good reason. Since the pandemic, many southeast real estate markets stood firm while much of the West saw significant price drops. With demographic trends pointing in the right direction, Dave decided to do a data-first analysis of three of the most promising markets in the area, all with trends that EVERY investor should pay attention to. Want to know which markets look the best? Stick around!

Sounds unreal, right? What if we told you that after that, he grew his portfolio to nine properties, built four businesses, and now collects over $100M annually? If you stick around, you’ll hear the exact concept Chris discovered that led to this massive growth and how you can use it to build a rental property portfolio that sets you financially free!
We always hear about ROI (return on investment), cash flow, cash on cash return, and other metrics used by the investing masses. The problem? These don’t give you a clear indicator of whether or not your money could be used in a better way. Chris used an often-untouched calculation to turn his single condo into a cash-flowing four-unit property that pays him more than FIVE times the rent. And if you’ve bought a property over the past few years, you could use this same strategy to multiply your rental portfolio faster than you thought.
Want to play real-life Monopoly and collect even more cash flow? Then, stick around! Chris will share the exact plan that took him to financial freedom!

You’ve heard cash flow stories before, but NOTHING like this. We’ve talked to hundreds of investors that have flipped houses, bought apartment complexes, storage facilities, and more. But a high school? A high school rental property? Surely this has to be a first. If you want to know the pioneer behind this absolutely insane passive income project, look no further than Jesse Wig, who turned a dilapidated high school into a thirty-one-unit apartment building.
But before Jesse went on a literal wild ride through this high school, he faced defeats that would stop most investors in their tracks. After making just ten dollars per hour working under a flipper, Jesse tried to do his first deal himself, but things didn’t go to plan. He walked away from his first real estate deal in debt with a massive loss but decided to try again. Jesse learned quickly from his mistakes and started buying rentals in an up-and-coming area right outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Through a brilliant investing tactic that we’ve never heard of before, Jesse was able to catapult and control his rental properties’ values, skyrocketing his personal wealth while bringing up an entire neighborhood with him. Soon after that, he found his off-market high school and, through some savvy partnerships and serious work, turned it into a cash cow unlike anything we’ve ever seen on the show. Jesse is about to school us on the right way to do real estate!

Whatever real estate market you’re in, you probably can’t buy a home for $200K or less. With the average home price in America hovering above $400K, are homes half that cost only in the worst investing areas possible? Surprisingly, no! Dave Meyer, VP of Data and Analytics at BiggerPockets, has found five strong housing markets offering much more than low home prices. With high cash flow, growing populations, and continued appreciation, these markets could be your next best bet for an investment property.
Dave will list his five top real estate markets with home prices under $200K, from most to least expensive. He’ll also review their cash flow potential and profitability indicators for investors. You may have heard of these housing markets before when talking to other investors, and with prices still rising and mortgage rates stuck around 7%, these cities could be the last bastion of hope for affordable homes.
Rent prices have steadily risen for as long as we can remember. But, few of us would have ever expected the unimaginable rent hikes of 2020-2022. With major metros seeing double-digit year-over-year rent percentage bumps, residents were forced to throw a larger chunk of their income toward housing. Now, with higher rent prices than ever before, America has become “rent-burdened,” and a dangerous threshold has been crossed.
What’s causing this rise in rents? Are investors to blame? And what’s a solution that could benefit builders, buyers, and renters? We’ve got Lu Chen and Thomas LaSalvia from Moody’s Commercial Real Estate division to give us their findings. Lu and Thomas’s team have been tracking rent prices carefully, logging which cities have seen the most significant price increases, which are becoming increasingly unaffordable, and what can be done about the problem. With a lack of housing supply and inflation eating away Americans’ income, what can everyday investors like us do?
Thankfully, there is a solution to this problem that could help curb unaffordability while presenting a profit for investors. Lu and Thomas go over exactly what would have to happen to return to a normalized, affordable housing market and what’s hurting our efforts to get there. Plus, with rents becoming unaffordable for many young Americans, our Dave duo asks, “Is real estate still safe to invest in?” All that and more in this edition of BiggerNews!

Buy real estate or face your dollar’s demise. While this may sound like doomsday prophesying or over-bullish investor attitudes towards properties, the fact is that most investors today won’t make it. With inflation raging ahead, home prices double-digit percentages higher than they were a few years ago, and food and energy costs spiking, your cash isn’t safe. The value of your money is burning, and your bank account won’t be able to extinguish the flames. But there is still hope to build wealth.
Welcome back to a macroeconomic Seeing Greene episode where David tells you what he really thinks about today’s inflationary economy. If you want to grow your wealth while prices pop off, this is the episode to tune into. But it’s not just CPI rate rants this time; David will also advise on what to do when down payment requirements more than double at the last second, why Midwest “cash flow” markets aren’t what they seem, building vs. buying an ADU (accessory dwelling unit), and when to sell a rental or flip that is bleeding money every month.

This type of “real estate trading” has become commonplace as more investors jump into the market and sellers desperately try to get out of homes they’ve inherited, refuse to fix up, or need to sell. Wholesalers like Jamil Damji come in, buy properties at a discount, and sell them to investors so everyone profits.
Jamil will walk through each step of the wholesaling process, from finding deals to talking to agents, building a buyers list, and finally taking home a check! If you think wholesaling is complicated or too difficult to try, stick around because Jamil will be live-calling agents within his area and immediately gains access to a few deals that most investors would only dream of picking up.

Want to make more money? Boost your rental property ROI? Rein in more cash flow? Well, you’re in the right place. For most investors in 2023, the housing market is a dangerous place to invest, with rates steadily rising throughout the year, some markets outright crashing, and others still seeing price bumps. Nobody knows what’s happening or what will come next, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make money in a wild market. Investors like Henry Washington are still picking up deals, counting cash flow, and crushing the rental property game while most investors sit on the sidelines.
So, how do you boost your rental property’s returns, score more cash flow, and buy deeply discounted deals? Stick around; Henry will share four time-tested (but easily implemented) strategies to make real estate work for you no matter what happens in the market.

Financial freedom isn’t important until your life flashes before your eyes. When everything could end, thoughts of your partner, children, and family come to mind, and most notably, what you left behind for them. Pasha Maleknia was thrown into a warzone and came within minutes of meeting his end. As he sat, not knowing whether or not he would ever see his wife again, he made a promise to build financial freedom for his family so that if anything happened to him, they would be protected.
Pasha kept his promise and is here to share exactly how he got it done. Through chaos, Pasha was given a second chance at building the life he dreamed of, starting a real estate investment portfolio that has grown to a double-digit unit count with close to six figures in expected cash flow. None of what he did was easy, but using his background in coding, systems, and optimizing everything for efficiency, Pasha is building a hands-off real estate empire that will set his whole family financially free.
If you’ve struggled to progress with rental properties, do NOT miss out on Pasha’s story. He explains exactly how his “why” forced him to reach financial freedom in only a few years and what he’s doing now to ensure his wealth never stops growing. Don’t wait for it to be too late. Put your life in your hands, and take Pasha’s words to heart.

Real estate investing has changed a LOT over the past few years. For most people getting into rental property investing in the mid-2010s, profitable properties were plentiful, cash flow was almost automatic, and equity was flowing in the tens (if not hundreds) of thousands every year. Unfortunately, this real estate market is long gone. Now, there’s blood in the streets as new investors try to salvage sickly-looking deals that don’t cash flow and come with pathetic-looking profits. And maybe, just maybe, that’s why now is the best time to buy.
Make no mistake, real estate investing isn’t easy, and just buying any house WON’T make you rich. But, the 2023 housing market has far more opportunity than most people think, and David Greene, Henry Washington, and Rob Abasolo are here to explain how. These three investors have been gobbling up rental properties as quickly as possible. And even with lower margins, slim cash flow, and limited equity, there is some method to their madness.
If NOTHING you’re looking at is cash flowing and almost every home seems overpriced (especially with today’s mortgage rates), this is THE episode to tune into. In it, David, Henry, and Rob will detail how you can “create” a profitable property while the masses sit on the sidelines, as well as go over real, authentic deals they’re doing today to show you it isn’t impossible to invest in 2023.

But today, we’re uncovering the truth and what you can do to boost your score!
It’s mortgage (and Memorial Day) Monday, but this time, instead of talking about what the loan industry is doing, we’re talking about how YOU can get a better rate on your next rental, primary residence, or investment property. Christian and David will go through the different credit score “brackets” a lender looks at when pre-qualifying you, the “sweet spot” for loans, and why you DON’T need an 850 credit score to get the best rate possible.

You’ve been lied to about affordable housing. Most people will either tell you it’s impossible to buy an affordable home or that those buying affordable homes are outright stupid. The term “affordable” has been correlated with inexperienced buyers getting cheap deals on homes, often ending up in trailer parks or something of the sort. But things have changed. Mortgage rates are at decade highs, home prices tower over what everyday workers can afford, and a new age of affordability is upon us—we’re here to unlock it for you.
A new forest of David Greenery has sprouted as we welcome Kristina Smallhorn and Rob Abasolo onto this episode of Seeing Greene. Kristina, Louisiana-based realtor, has been fighting for affordability, helping get her clients into creative homes that don’t break the bank. She’s here to dispel all the myths about affordable housing, manufactured homes, modular homes, land investing, and more. We’ll touch on build-to-rent homes and who should NOT be investing in them, green flags to look out for when buying land, and the danger behind new forty-year mortgages.

The Florida housing market doesn’t make a lot of sense. Whether talking about the most growing or declining markets, Florida cities always tend to make the list. This state is polarized in home prices, appreciation, population, and gators-per-square mile estimates. But are there still solid investing areas in this swampy state? Or has the massive Florida immigration caused everything to become overpriced? If you live in The Sunshine State or want to invest in this high-growth market, stick around!
Dave Meyer, VP of Data and Analytics at BiggerPockets, is back with some Florida data from our friends at Belong. Dave will go over which markets are rising and falling, why home inventory is starting to spike in some unsuspecting areas, and whether or not rents are still keeping pace as landlords search for cash flow. Florida has some HUGE opportunities, but with one BIG COST about to skyrocket, investors may be wary of investing here.

These short-term rentals are MUCH cheaper than you’d think. Even in an expensive market like California, investors have been able to pick up steals of deals and turn them into quirky vacation rentals that charge a high nightly rate. But, can two expert investors guess how much these property prices REALLY are? We took three luxury rentals in the Joshua Tree, California area, hid the price, and had real estate pros take their best guess.
Welcome back to another episode of “The Price (of the Property) is Wrong!” where Rob Abasolo (Robuilt) forces best friends Jamil Damji and Pace Morby to fight for fame, glory, and the ability to impress him ever so slightly. This time, we’re in the desert, scoping out dusty domains and guessing their price tags! So stick around to see who reigns supreme and who gets burnt.

Did you know you can invest in real estate using funds you’ve probably forgotten about? For years, you’ve been socking away money into your IRA or 401(k) to ensure an abundant retirement. The problem? You’ve only been able to invest those funds into passive investments like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. What about the investors who want a more active income stream with bigger tax benefits, more equity upside, and plenty of cash flow? Can you use your retirement accounts to build wealth with real estate?
If you ask Kaaren Hall, her answer is a resounding yes. Kaaren saw quickly how the real money was being made in real estate, so she began investing herself, later realizing that she could use her retirement funds to build a real estate portfolio faster. She founded uDirect IRA Services to help other investors build wealth a better way, opening up more options for passive income, so your retirement accounts can grow into the millions.
If you want to scale your real estate portfolio but don’t have the cash on hand, this could be your PERFECT option. Kaaren goes over exactly how to use your retirement accounts to invest in real estate, what you can (and definitely can’t) do when investing this way, and how you can start raising capital for your own deals using other people’s retirement funds. This is a $40 trillion untapped opportunity, so don’t miss out!

Housing market forecasts are starting to get a little...weird. Mortgage rates and home prices might rise, but new listings are falling off a cliff. Some real estate markets are still seeing hot buyer activity, with bidding wars going off on every other home. Other markets are watching their prices nosedive as buyers wait for the dust to settle before bidding. This isn’t a normal housing market, but that’s not stopping Dave Meyer from making some data-first predictions.
As the VP of Data and Analytics at BiggerPockets, Dave is always looking at housing data. But this time, it’s stranger than usual. With a recession looming, potential global conflict afoot, and the chance of the US finally defaulting on its debt, we’re not just dealing with regular supply and demand. Dave has taken this all into account and shares five of his top 2023 housing market predictions so you can buy when it’s your best bet!

From just rental properties alone, James is bringing in a full-time salary in rental property profits MONTHLY, and this isn’t even taking into account his flips or other businesses! But it wasn’t always like this. James went from a broke college student waiting tables at Red Robin to becoming one of the most prominent real estate investors in the Pacific Northwest. Here’s how he did it…
James didn’t inherit millions of dollars or win the lottery. He knew that the key to making millions was finding off-market real estate deals, so he started wholesaling. Once he had enough cash to invest himself, he began house flipping. James started with simple properties that any rookie investor could buy, but now, he’s flipping multi-million dollar mansions and walking away with high six (sometimes seven) figure returns as a result.
If you want to steal James’ plan for success, stick around! He’ll share exactly what he did to grow his wealth and make millions. You can do it too!

Debt can make you rich. The wealthy have been using other people’s money since the beginning of civilization to build their empires, acquire assets, and make more income without using their own capital. But, in today’s high-consumer-debt world, most Americans are only accustomed to one type of debt—bad debt. So if you want to make moves like the wealthiest in the world, stick around to hear what Henry Washington says.
Only a few years back, Henry had no properties to his name. Now, he’s sitting on a portfolio of over one hundred rental properties as a financially free investor. But how did he do it when he had no money? With the right type of debt, Henry was able to build his real estate portfolio, start making passive income, and become his own boss. Now you can do the same.
Henry will walk through the five ways to use debt to build wealth, reach financial freedom, and grow a real estate portfolio.

The multifamily market is about to buckle. With sellers still riding the highs of 2022, buyers are at a crossroads; keep pursuing deals or wait for the market to go south. And, with mortgage rates rising and short-term financing coming due, many multifamily owners could be forced to sell their properties to the highest bidder. While some of this may sound like speculation, we’ve got a multifamily forecast straight from an expert in the industry, Angie Smith, from Strategic Management Partners.
Angie and her company manage 25,000 rental units at a time. Yes, you read that right! For the past decade, Angie has been the go-to manager for top apartment complexes across Georgia, dealing with everything from noisy tenants to in-unit farms and goat grilling operations (seriously). She knows the ins and outs of property management, what makes a good property manager, and why self-managing isn’t always the wisest move.
In this episode, Angie gives her take on the 2023 housing market and when she thinks multifamily will start to get shaky, why most investors are wrong about property management, how to choose a property manager, and the questions you should ask ANY management company before you hire them. If you want TRULY passive income through real estate, you DON’T want to manage your rentals alone.
