If you don’t want to make money in real estate, skip this episode. If you hate the idea of having hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in equity and six-figure passive cash flow in the not-so-far future, ignore the ten strategies we’re sharing today.

When followed, these ten tactics will help you buy real estate deals with phenomenal “upside” potential in markets that most investors overlook but will WISH they bought in within a few years. Anyone can use this information to unlock the “upside” in whatever market they choose to invest in, but they aren’t obvious.

You’ve probably been told the opposite of the advice we’ll give you today. But here’s the thing: the housing market has CHANGED. In 2025, those 2015 strategies will not work. To unlock the “upside” potential that will lead only savvy real estate investors to generational wealth, plentiful passive income, and serious returns, you must shed the old ways and embrace the new strategies. That’s why Dave is outlining the ten strategies he would use to find hidden “upside” in the 2025 housing market and sharing how he’s doing it (right now!) with some of his properties.
