Long-Distance Real Estate Investing by David Greene

I had saved up $100,000 for the five years that I was in school. So when it did drop off is when I started buying properties. I didn't understand it was like an escalator that drops off at the end. That version of David assumed prices would go up and then they would kind of gradually climb down. I was watching teachers buying million dollar properties and I did not have foresight to recognize we were going to have a crash. Just what am I going to study? What am I going to do for work? I didn't buy a house because I could just see that it didn't make any sense. I wasn't looking for the college experience. I worked throughout college quite a bit and saved. So I saved up all the money that I made from working there. And I was kind of watching just those crazy prices and the crazy market we were having. I knew I wanted to buy a house at some point. Most kids my age probably weren't thinking about buying a house, but I was. I was kind of like most … maybe not like most kids my age.

So if you can, David, just give us a little bit about your background, what you're doing, how you ended up at BiggerPockets, and what you do in the real estate world. David, it is great to have you on the WealthAbility Show. And so we have a very special guest with us today, David Greene, who is the host of the BiggerPockets Podcast. At least some of us are old enough to remember 2007, 2008 painfully. We are in that point of inflection where do we see … We've had huge increases in asset prices, huge increases in rents, and are we going to have big decreases in asset prices and or rents? So we've been through this once. Your host, founder, and CEO of WealthAbility. Welcome to the WealthAbility Show, where we're always discovering how to make way more money and pay way less tax. This is The WealthAbility® Show with Tom Wheelwright.
