Episode #837

Kevin Paffrath, AKA “Meet Kevin,” one of YouTube’s most famous financial influencers and real estate investors, joins us for this week’s Seeing Greene to answer YOUR real estate investing questions. But this time, you’ll hear a bit more about who should be investing, who shouldn’t, and why partnering up on a property is a huge “no-no” in Kevin’s book. Plus, if you’re starved for cash flow in this impossible investing environment, Kevin has some good news for you.

But that’s not all we get into. David and Kevin talk about why cash flow isn’t as important as you think, why dating the mortgage rate could be risky, the social media investing scam you could be falling into, and why investing with no money down is a fool’s game. One investor even submits a potential deal that makes Kevin want to vomit (his words), so if this sounds like something you’re about to buy, run away!
