597: Seeing Greene: Should You Pay Off Debt or Invest in Real Estate? 58:35

    <p><strong>Should you </strong><a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/rookie-podcast-94"><strong>pay off debt or invest in real estate</strong></a><strong>? </strong>Whether you’re young or old, rich or poor, in consumer debt or student debt, this is a question that almost everyone has. With <strong>inflation hitting decade-long heights</strong>, debt seems to be worth less and less every day. But, the other side to this coin is that <strong>asset prices, including real estate, are going up</strong>. Is there a right move to make, or are we stuck treading water without enough financial traction to stick to?</p><p>Hear answers to this question (and many more) on this week’s <strong>Seeing Greene</strong>, with your favorite host, agent, investor, and mortgage magician, David Greene. In this episode, you’ll hear topics touched on like <strong>whether to house hack or buy cash-flowing rentals</strong>, <strong>what to expect (and not expect) from your real estate agent</strong>, how to reduce (and account for) property taxes, <strong>how inflation and interest rates will affect the housing market</strong> and the best piece of advice David would give new real estate investors.</p><p>Heard a question that resonated with you?
