If you know how to find investment properties the right way, your path to real estate wealth gets a lot shorter. Today, we’re giving you two methods anyone can try—one from an expert on finding great deals with incredible financing options, and another, more “lazy” method that even beginner investors can take advantage of. You won’t just find real estate deals faster, you’ll get the best deals in the market, while investors who don’t listen to this podcast doomscroll on listing websites, praying they’ll find a diamond in the rough.

We’re back, answering your BiggerPockets Forum questions on today’s episode, and the first one is crucial—how to find profitable rental properties. Next, an investor wants to buy a duplex with tenants in place. The problem? They’re paying way below market rents. Is there a way to keep good tenants around while raising rent prices? Yes—we’ll show you how!

When should you keep, sell, or reinvest in a rental? Run this quick calculation to figure out which properties need to be let go, which need to be upgraded, and which you should let ride. Finally, got $400,000 in cash? We’re sharing exactly what we’d do to turn that amount of money into consistent passive income.
