Live calls, Dave Ramsey style!
In this episode we open up the phone (er, Zoom) lines to take audience questions on everything from “should I flip or hold this deal” to “Coronavirus cost me my job… how can I invest now?”
Brandon and David offer also advice on house hacking, Home Equity Lines of Credit (HELOCs), appraisals, and the pros and cons of tapping a retirement account to jumpstart a real estate investing career.
