Airbnb bans escalate, a “tsunami” could be coming for this real estate niche, and “sinking” cities lead to skyrocketing insurance prices. The housing market changes every week, so we’re here to break down the headlines and sift through the hype so you know what could impact YOU. Dave Meyer and the entire On the Market panel are here to discuss four of the top real estate-related news stories from this week.
First, we discuss the commercial real estate credit crunch that could cause a “tsunami” in the office investing space. Next, one major European city will ban Airbnb by 2028 in an effort to give locals a better chance at buying their first home. Will it work, or is it just a move to get more votes? With the dust of the NAR settlement settling, homebuyers could face thousands in fees to work with an agent, but will this stop homebuying?
Before we go over our last headline, make sure you’re standing on solid ground because “sinking” cities are becoming the new norm. Is your home slowly sliding off a cliff? If so, your insurance costs could be rising even higher. We’ll get into this story and the rest of the relevant real estate news on this episode!
In This Episode We Cover
A world without Airbnb and whether the newest ban could actually help homebuyers
Another “tsunami” coming for real estate and whether there’s truth behind the hype
Private equity’s new plan to gobble up even more real estate as one niche suffers
More fees for homebuyers as agent commissions change, but will this have to be paid out of pocket?
“Sinking” cities causing rising insurance costs and sliding home values
And So Much More!

(02:24) A “Tsunami” Coming?

In this episode, we’re sharing two of the real estate markets we’re investing in NOW. One you may have heard of and one you probably haven’t. Both have strong long-term fundamentals, a sizable renter population, and more demand than meets supply. Which markets are we talking about, and why did we pick them over the thousands of other real estate markets across America? We’ll go into detail on today’s show!
Dave and Henry are sharing two of their favorite real estate markets, both seeing sizable returns EVEN in 2024. First, Henry talks about the buy and hold goldmine of a town with low-priced homes, strong rents, and sizable cash flow. Plus, with “opportunistic rehabs,” Henry is seeing his cash flow explode with some basic home renovations. Next, for the passive investors, Dave talks about a syndication deal that’s so good it’s giving him bonus distributions! With many passive investments seeing poor returns this year, Dave may make it rich with this historically relevant real estate market.
Don’t know where you should invest next? Stick around to hear the investing experts give their take on finding a market. You can even use our Market Finder to find your perfect market in minutes! Once you’ve found a market, use the Deal Finder to search for rental property investments in the area!

Life happens, and you’ve accumulated some debt. You’re wondering how to buy real estate EVEN with a high DTI (debt-to-income) ratio. Whether it’s good debt, like rental property mortgages, or bad debt, like credit card debt, holding you back, David and Rob have some ideas to help YOU grow your real estate portfolio faster, make more passive income, and get yourself out of the red!
In this Seeing Greene, we’re talking about good, bad, and ugly debt. First, a house hacker hits hurdles when trying to buy his next property due to his current mortgage. Thankfully, there’s a way to get around this using the “sneaky rental” strategy. An investor with a growing portfolio struggles to find a bookkeeper who can keep his finances together WITHOUT costing him an arm and a leg; David and Rob give two very different pieces of advice. Got bad debt? We give an investor options on what he should do to consolidate his $40,000 credit card balance.
Wondering when to refinance your mortgage? A repeat caller asks whether a cash-out refinance on one of his properties is worth the rate increase and closing costs. Finally, what would you do with two houses on one lot? Renovate them and sell one? Keep them both as rentals? And how would you fund the renovation? David and Rob give their takes and a HUGE red flag that everyone trying to “subdivide” land should know about.
In This Episode We Cover
How to scale your real estate portfolio FAST with the “sneaky rental” strategy (even if you have debt!)
When to refinance your mortgage and whether a higher rate is worth cash in the bank
Bookkeeping for real estate investing beginners and how to not lose yourself in spreadsheets

Heather Blankenship has made $10,000,000 alone from just one RV park investment. She got into it with no money and zero experience. While pregnant with her first child, Heather answered the phones, paid the bills, laid mulch, and slept on the office floor, working long days and longer nights to do anything she could to keep the campground running. Over a decade later, she has a $30,000,000 portfolio, with her first campground worth almost half that amount. How did she do it, and can you repeat her same investing strategy?
In her new book, Real Estate Campgrounds, Heather dives into the almost unbelievable streams of income you can create from just one campground or RV park investment. In today’s show, she shares the different ways you can make money (and cash flow!) from your first campground investment, what to know before you buy, and how rental property owners can transition from single-family or multifamily rentals to campground investments.
We also bust some myths that have probably stopped you from investing in this lucrative asset class before. Do you need a ton of money? Nope. Do you need a HUGE campground? Not really. Should you have hospitality experience? Maybe. Heather started with ZERO real estate investing experience and now is a campground multimillionaire! Want to follow in her footsteps? Don’t miss this episode!
In This Episode We Cover
How Heather’s campgrounds create over ten income streams (BIG cash flow!)
Making millions by buying overlooked RV parks and campgrounds
The biggest expense of running campgrounds and why you CAN’T get this wrong
What you should know BEFORE you buy a campground to ensure you make money
Transitioning from rental properties to campgrounds and why it may be easier than you think

Will the new jobs report finally prompt the Fed to cut rates, leading to you scoring a lower mortgage rate? With multifamily rents still falling, should we fear a nosediving rent trend in the near future? And why are all these traditionally overlooked investing markets becoming the new rental property hot spots? You asked, and on this episode of BiggerNews, we’re answering. We’ve taken top questions from the BiggerPockets forums and are answering them on today’s show!
It wouldn’t be a BiggerNews episode without talking about the Federal Reserve. With the latest job numbers pointing in the right direction, is this the final signal the Fed needs before they start cutting rates? Or is there a specific unemployment rate we must hit for the Fed to give us some interest rate relief? Next, we’re talking about the continuously “softening” rents around the country. One sector is actually seeing rents grow, but if you’re not seeing that with your rentals, how do you ensure your tenants stay put and keep paying you rent? We’re giving our expert tips on mitigating falling (or stagnating) rents.
Next, we’re highlighting the “affordable” investing hotspots popping up throughout the country as the cost of living increases. Are these markets actually worth investing in, or are the big cities going to have better returns once they bounce back? Finally, should you wait to save up emergency reserves and risk home prices rising OR buy your first property now? We share exactly what we did in the same position when we first started investing.
In This Episode We Cover
Fed rate cut updates and how close we could be to mortgage rates finally falling
The “softening” rent trend and what you can do NOW to ensure your rent prices stay put
Why the oversupply of multifamily rentals could actually reverse soon
The new “affordable” investing areas that are emerging across the US (and whether we’d buy there)
Emergency reserves 101 and whether you should buy now or keep saving

Are tiny homes a good investment? For just $50,000, you can get a brand new tiny home investment—not even fifteen percent of the average single-family home price in the United States. Even better? These tiny investment properties can bring in over $15,000 per year in rent, making your payoff period minuscule compared to a standard real estate investment. To learn more, we brought Steven Harrell, tiny home builder and investor, on the show to walk through all the numbers and how investors can cash in big on these tiny homes.
Steven has seen the tiny home industry shift from off-the-grid, fringe mini homes in the woods to now a mainstream necessity as more Americans struggle to pay the sky-high cost of rent or a mortgage on standard homes. With affordability at a forty-year low, Americans need cheaper housing options, and tiny homes might be the perfect answer.
We discuss the costs of tiny homes, how much they rent for, finding and buying land to put them on, insurance, financing, and how beginners can get started on this investment at a very attractive price point. Want tiny houses with big profits? This episode is for you!
In This Episode We Cover
How much does a tiny home actually cost to build, and how much it’ll rent for
Tiny home appreciation and whether these small investments are for cash flow only
How to find and buy the land for your next tiny home, plus what you MUST look for
The average insurance cost for a tiny home (it’ll surprise you)
Why the average tiny home tenant might not be who you think it is
Exactly what Steven would do now to get started investing in tiny homes

Should you use a HELOC to buy investment property? Would we use home equity to retire? When is it time to sell a performing property and exchange it for a more expensive one? If you’ve got home equity, this episode could help you reach financial freedom faster as we answer real listener questions, many about home equity, on today’s Seeing Greene!
If you’ve been investing for a while, you may have some paid-off properties. Should you get a cash-out refinance and live off the loans? That’s what one of today’s investors is asking, but Rob and David have different views on whether this is a good retirement plan. Did your property almost get destroyed by the city this week? Rob’s did! We’ll share the full story at the start of the show.
Next, an investor debates selling her performing rentals to scale into a bigger property. We also answer how to use a HELOC (home equity line of credit) to quickly grow your real estate portfolio. Why are contractors so hard to find? A veteran investor/contractor shares the reason why most contractors suddenly disappear. Finally, a listener has inherited multiple lots of land but wonders if he should build multifamily rentals on them. Can he use the lots as collateral to get the funds to start his investing journey? All that in this Seeing Greene!

How to retire using home equity and cash-out refinances (and whether you should!)
Why Rob was close to having his newly-renovated home destroyed by the city

Should you pay off student loans or invest in real estate? This is the question Tom Keating had to ask himself back in 2018. At the time, he had no real estate investing experience and only picked up The Book on Rental Property Investing by chance. He still had student loans but decided to spend his savings (which could have made him debt-free) on the down payment for his first rental property. Now, just six years later, Tom has an entire real estate portfolio of passive and active investments and is free from his W2!
If you’ve got some form of debt—student loans, credit card debt, medical debt, etc.—you might think you can’t invest in real estate, but you’d be wrong. In today’s episode, Tom breaks down the simple equation you can use to figure out whether you should pay off your debt or invest. Tom took the path less traveled, and now, he’s benefiting from it, being able to go anywhere in the world, live where he wants, and control his schedule.
Tom also shares a simple yet unbelievably valuable way to find the hottest real estate markets and areas to buy rental properties. The best part? The data he uses is FREE, and you can copy his same strategy to get cash flow, appreciation, or a bit of both!
In This Episode We Cover
Whether to pay off student loans or invest and the simple calculation you can use to decide
The super simple way to find hot real estate investing areas with appreciation potential
Quitting your W2 job and becoming a full-time real estate investor, even with a small portfolio
How to diversify your real estate portfolio with both passive and active investments

Zillow’s latest housing market forecast shows a decline in home prices over the next year after a very slow spring homebuying season. While spring is traditionally the hottest time of the housing market, with more sellers and buyers hitting the market at once, this year was stunted significantly. Will this trend continue as housing inventory remains at rock-bottom levels, or are things gradually improving, with a return to normalcy in sight? We’ve got Dr. Skylar Olsen, Chief Economist at Zillow, on to share the latest forecast and which markets could be in trouble.
With mortgage rates still hovering around seven percent, homebuyers and sellers are stuck. Sellers don’t want to trade into a more expensive mortgage payment, and buyers can’t afford today’s median home price. As a result, some under-the-radar, affordable real estate markets are seeing home and rent prices increase, while some traditionally hot markets are already seeing price corrections.
Where will the next correction hit, and which markets will have the most opportunity for real estate investors? Skylar explains it all, plus why Zillow updated their recent home price forecast to show a DROP in home values over the next year.
In This Episode We Cover
Zillow’s updated housing market forecast and why they’re predicting prices to drop
The spring homebuying season’s “extra slowdown” and why buying/selling is so stunted
Skylar’s 2025 housing market and mortgage rate predictions
What happens when mortgage rates get cut, and whether this could fire up the housing market again
The real estate markets seeing the most price corrections, plus hot markets Zillow is keeping an eye on
Markets with the strongest rent growth (for single-family AND multifamily investors)

Military real estate investing is perhaps the easiest way for veterans to reach financial freedom. Today’s guest is a prime example, going from broke recruiter to “military millionaire” in just FIVE years. And get this—military real estate isn’t just for service members. Everyday investors can take advantage of certain perks, too!
During his first seven years in the U.S. Marine Corps, David Pere was a serial spender, blowing each paycheck and saving very little money. But when a friend recommended the personal finance classic, Rich Dad Poor Dad, things finally clicked, and David realized the unique investing opportunities the military provided. Within four months, he had taken advantage of the favorable VA loan and bought his first house hack!
In today’s episode, you’ll learn how the military puts you in a great position to take financial risks early in your career. David takes a deep dive into VA loans, their benefits, their requirements, and what buyers and sellers should know. He even shares the best-kept secret in military investing—the Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL) program—which makes it EASY for investors to score a better interest rate!
In This Episode We Cover
How veterans can build wealth through military real estate investing
Why the VA loan is the “best primary residence mortgage in the world”
What YOU should know about VA loans (even if you’re not a service member!)

High interest rates are stopping you from investing, so what do you do? Wondering how to prepare for a recession if one hits soon? Should you sell your rentals and pocket some cash, or will you regret dumping your performing properties to secure some short-term safety? These tough questions can’t be answered by just anyone, so we have our expert investors David Greene and Rob Abasolo on to help you navigate through the most financially puzzling parts of real estate investing.
In this Seeing Greene, we’re tackling topics like how to prepare for a recession as a landlord, what to do when high interest rates kill your deals, and whether you should build an ADU (accessory dwelling unit) or simply park an RV on your land and rent it out instead. But that’s not all; a contractor wants to know how to work with investors while making even more money. Is he barking up the wrong tree, or is going the investor instead of the residential route a better choice for those trying to grow their contracting business?
Plus, how long a tenant turnover should take and whether your property manager is moving too slowly. All that, and much more, is coming up in this Seeing Greene show!
In This Episode We Cover
How to invest in real estate during a high interest rate environment (and find lenders!)
Whether or not to sell your rentals if a recession hits in the near future
Renting out an ADU vs. an RV and which will make you more money and come with a lower cost
The power of compound interest and David’s genius method to pay off properties fast
Tenant turnover times and how long it should take for your property manager to find new renters
How contractors can get consistent work from investors by doing this

Today’s guest makes up to $100,000 per year, PER investment, by buying businesses. Yep, you heard that right. We’re not talking about a few hundred bucks a month in cash flow like most rental properties get you. Instead, you can make a living by buying a business “no one wants,” which is exactly what Matt DeBoth is doing.
Matt saw the writing on the wall after building up a sizable real estate portfolio. Low interest rates flooded buyers into the housing market, putting those with properties to sell in a great position. So, Matt sold many of his rental properties and wondered where he should put the money into.

Mortgage rates were supposed to be going down by now, but what happened? Even in late 2023, many housing market experts predicted that we’d be seeing high to mid six percent mortgage rates at this point and hovering around the high five percent rate mark by the end of the year, but the Fed isn’t showing any sign of lowering rates soon. Some experts even believe rates could go UP again this year as the job market stays hot and the economy sees unprecedented strength. This begs the question: What IF mortgage rates remain high?
It’s a reality many of us don’t want to see, but 2024 could end with minor, if any, rate cuts, keeping monthly mortgage payments high and affordability low. So, what should an investor do in this situation? Sit on the sidelines? Invest in a different asset class? Pray to Jerome Powell? While that last option may be worthwhile, top real estate investors are saying that NOW is the time to buy BEFORE rates fall. What do we mean?
We’ve got the entire expert investor panel from On the Market here to give their take on what investors should do IF rates don’t fall. From house flipping to long-term buy and hold rentals, our nationwide panel of investors shares exactly what they’re doing to make money even with high interest rates. Plus, we’ll give our predictions on when rates could fall, what will happen to housing inventory, what young people should do NOW to get their first house, and why investors need to “reset” if they want to thrive in this high rate housing market.

Every investor would love some extra cash flow…but at what cost? Does it make sense to go all in on a large down payment so that more money trickles in each month? If you want minimal debt, have no plans to scale, and are confident that your new property will appreciate, perhaps. But if your goal is to buy more rental properties and build your portfolio as quickly as possible, there are much better ways to leverage your cash position. In this Seeing Greene, we help a new investor navigate this exact scenario when buying his first property!
Next, we hear from someone whose earnest money deposit (EMD) is wrapped up in a failed medium-term rental. Should she cut her losses and walk away from the deal or weather the storm until the property can cash flow? Stick around to find out! Finally, we chat with an investor who has gone over his rehab budget and finds himself knee-deep in high-interest credit card debt. David and Rob walk him through the steps that will allow him to consolidate his bad debt and turn a ROUGH situation into MORE rentals!

Can you start investing in real estate with just $15,000? Yep, and mobile home investing is how you do it. We know what you’re thinking, “I don’t want to own trailers! I want to invest in “real” houses where the “real” money is at!” That’s what today’s guest John Fedro thought too some twenty years ago when he stumbled into mobile home investing, which, at the time, was even too embarrassing for him to share. But, over the past two decades, this at-first “embarrassing” investment has made him wealthy, and if you follow his lead, it can do the same for you.
John has successfully made money with mobile homes in various ways: buying and flipping, wholesaling, renting, and seller financing, the main topic of today’s episode. He provides a masterclass on how to make money buying and selling mobile homes, where you essentially take on the role of the bank. However, it’s crucial to be cautious. Mishandling this could lead you into an ethical gray area and potentially harm your buyer. On the other hand, getting it right can create a win-win situation for both the buyer and seller while making you wealthy.
John shares his whole strategy, plus how he’s getting into deals for $15,000 and often making DOUBLE his money and $400 per month (or more) cash flow per door when he seller finances these properties. If you want a way to get into real estate investing without a ton of cash but with the potential to make a serious return on your money, this may be your winning strategy.
In This Episode We Cover
The three “levels” of mobile home investing and how much each costs to get into
The danger of seller financing the wrong way and how it can hurt your buyer
Why you MUST background check EVERYONE you seller-finance a mobile home to
One thing that new mobile home investors overlook that can ruin your properties
The exit strategies you must know about to avoid losing money on your next deal
Whether or not we would invest in mobile homes (and our concerns with seller financing)

The rental market could finally be returning to stability after a wild past four years. Since 2020, we’ve seen rent prices skyrocket almost overnight, with huge asking price increases for single-family homes, multifamily apartments, and everything in between. But that trend quickly reversed as the fight against inflation began, mortgage rates rose, and would-be homebuyers sat still, not knowing whether to stay renting or search for a home. But, a return to “equilibrium” may be coming soon, and that’s good news for landlords and renters alike. To break it all down, Zumper’s Anthemos Georgiades joins the show to share his team’s latest rent data.
Anthemos brings some surprisingly good news for landlords, from new month-over-month rent growth data to consumer preferences shifting to a more renter-focused lifestyle; now may be the moment landlords have been waiting for as renter demand looks promising and rates stay high. We’ll also discuss the inflation lag effect our rental market has caused and how to stay on top of current rent prices.
Has the dream of homeownership died? And if so, how do YOU attract the long-term renters who want to make a home out of your house (while paying YOU rent!)? Stick around for this rental market update every landlord needs to know about.
