Should I pay off my rentals or scale to more doors? Should I start flipping houses in my local but expensive market or go long-distance? When is the time to move from residential to commercial real estate? We’ve got some crucial questions to answer on today’s Seeing Greene as David and Rob tackle the best ways to build wealth and set yourself up for retirement in 2024. Want to reach financial freedom faster? Then, this is the show for you.

First, an investor who eagerly wants to retire asks whether he should flip houses in the expensive San Francisco Bay Area or begin in a lower-priced area. Next, when is it time to scale vs. pay off your rental properties? When partnering on a house hack, who’s responsible for what, and how do you split up the finances? Finally, a return caller asks about the pros and cons of residential vs. commercial real estate and whether bigger properties will help him reach his goal of retiring with a sizable rental portfolio.
