756: Seeing Greene: How to “Supercharge” Your Rental Property's Cash Flow in 2023

Real estate cash flow is why most investors decide to buy rental properties. But with interest rates at decade-long highs, rents starting to stagnate, and home prices still in unaffordable territory, making cash flow, or breaking even for that matter, has become challenging. And while the “golden age” of cash flow real estate investing might be over, there are still numerous ways to bring in more passive income on properties you already own.

We’re back for another Seeing Greene, where your favorite investor, broker, and “definitely not a loan expert,” David Greene, is back to answer YOUR real estate investing questions. This time around, we’ve got some serious questions about which rental properties are worth buying, how to get around zoning headaches, whether building an ADU is worth the money, and whether or not now is the right time to sell a high-equity property. David also touches on the EASIEST way to increase your cash flow in 2023 and the investing method that EVERY investor should focus on.
