Now, albeit I don’t travel a ton, but I love coming here. It’s the most gorgeous place I’ve ever been. Maybe Cabo San Lucas refers to all the Cabos.īecause somebody here has to know. I believe this is… is it called Cabo because it’s Cabo San Lucas, or are those two different places? What’s up everybody? This is David and Rob coming at you from Mexico where we are enjoying a wonderful getaway in Cabo. Then if you’re good at making money, you’re good at saving money, you’ll die with the big savings account, but never have passive income, never have exponential growth, you have to build to invest the money. If you’re one of those people that’s like, “I live off of $12,000 a year, but I make my own soap and I wear the same socks every day and I wash them with my hand,” you’re not getting the most out of yourself.

If you’re very good at saving money, but you cannot make money, you will be grinding your entire life and never being satisfied. If you cannot save money, it doesn’t matter how much money you make, you’ll never be wealthy. There’s offense, there’s defense, and there’s investing. My philosophy is that building wealth is a three-pillar system. This is The BiggerPockets Podcast Show, live from Mexico. If you want an authentic look into the making of a real estate tycoon without the rose-colored hindsight, this is the episode to tune into.Ĭlick here to listen on Apple Podcasts.

In this episode, you’ll hear precisely how David hustled for years to buy his first property, how his first tenant stole thousands from him, the long nights he spent working overtime to save up even more, and how eventually everything clicked, and he started building wealth at record speed. He sacrificed almost every weekend to make more money so he one day could own his schedule. David was waiting tables, working at restaurants, trying to become deputy sheriff, and had no real estate to speak of. But just fourteen years ago, this was far from his reality. He owns a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio, multiple cash-flowing companies, and hosts the best real estate podcast ever (we’re not biased). To most, David Greene is the epitome of an entrepreneur. What about the seven-day work weeks, the night shifts, the financial stress, the bad tenants, and the failures? This is what made David Greene what he is today. However, what you’re seeing is the result, not the journey. There are always so many properties, cash flow, retreats, speaking events, and jam-packed, money-making schedules that most nine-to-five workers would be envious of. The world of a real estate investor can seem glamorous. Cash flow, cartels, building a real estate empire, and everything in between-this is the story that many have yet to hear.
