Are investment properties dead? Everyone is impacted by the changes happening in real estate whether they’re buying, selling, or just on the business side. It can seem like it’s time to step away so you can check other assets. Let’s have a REAL conversation on where investment properties stand in terms of how they benefit you or could cause trouble. LISTEN UP.

The real estate game is changing - screw that - it already has and no-one is REALLY talking about it....until now. Real Estate of Tomorrow holds conversations on crucial topics needed to successfully navigate the shifting real estate industry. In this bi-weekly podcast we break down the massive shifts in real estate and tell you the specific steps you need to take to kick a$$ in the coming years, just like we are. We’re your hosts, Edgardo Balentine and Scott DiGregorio, giving you the rundown on real estate from decades of experience and the new generation.

These days, an investment property takes more money to buy and more money to finance on top of the high insurance to keep everything in order. Despite the rising costs, there are ways to set yourself up for success. It’s mostly a game based on numbers, but more importantly, it’s a full picture that you can take on from multiple angles: remodeling, Airbnb, and more.

Today we talk about if rates killed investment properties as we knew them. A lot of this episode includes stories from personal experiences and strategies we use with our investment properties. We’ll also give you insight on using investment properties as an inflation hedge, managing cash flow of multiple properties, and House Hacking.

What are you doing today to be relevant tomorrow? What are you doing today to be successful tomorrow?
