How to Start Investing with $20K and Creating Cash Flow in 2024

Episode #882

A few years ago, everyone was wondering how to start investing in real estate, but now the question has switched to “Is it too late?” If you’re stuck on the sidelines but want to get into the real estate investing game, this Seeing Greene is for you.

The man of the people is back for another Seeing Greene-style show! This time, David is answering questions from new investors, experienced investors, and everyone in between. First, we’ll hear from an investor who’s wondering about the value of a low mortgage rate, especially when buying a new build. Is a lower rate worth a higher price? Then, David tells you how to convert your home equity into a new investment property and what you MUST know before getting into commercial real estate. A college student wants to know how to use his $20K savings, and a “late starter” searches for cash flow in a market that’s dry as a desert!
