588: Seeing Greene: Climate Change, ADU Dilemmas, & Retiring with Rentals

Episode • Mar 27, 2022 • 50m

Want to retire with rentals? Want more cash flow? Want to put up a lower down payment? What about building an ADU on your land? All of these questions (and more) are coming up on this episode of Seeing Greene. Unfortunately, this is the first time in BiggerPockets history that David Greene, master investor/agent, hasn’t been able to answer a question (and for good reason).

David tackles some challenging topics this episode, ranging from climate change affecting real estate values, what to do once depreciation runs out, and at what point should an investor take profits in the form of cash flow? While you may have heard varying opinions from other investing experts (or even other BiggerPockets hosts), David has a rather conclusive take on why you should NOT be retiring early with rental properties, but you should do something much greater instead.
