917: Seeing Greene: Can I Escape the Rat Race with Just $70K?
Want to escape the rat race? To do so, you’ll need some serious investments. And if you want bigger and better cash flow or appreciation, commercial real estate is the place to start. But how do you find these bigger deals? Sure, it’s easy to log on to your favorite listing website and find a hundred houses to buy, but what about self-storage facilities, multifamily apartments, warehouses, and more? How do you find the BIG deals?
On this Seeing Greene, we’re answering crucial investing questions so you can build wealth better and reach financial freedom faster. First, Real Estate Rookie guest Mike Larson calls in to ask how to find off-market commercial real estate deals. If you’ve ever wondered how to invest in commercial real estate, this is the place to start! Next, a BiggerPockets Forum poster asks for the best investment to “escape the nine-to-five rat race.” A short-term rental investor needs to know the best way to invest his home equity. Plus, we discuss why mortgage rates DON’T matter as much as you think they do!
