How to Do a “Slow BRRRR” in 2025 (Better Than BRRRR):


Connect with Dave:



If you live in a market where home prices are hovering above $500,000, this is the episode for you. You’ve all told us loud and clear: real estate investing is tough when you live in an expensive market. Many investors feel like they can’t buy a single property, let alone scale to financial freedom. We hear you, and today we’re giving you multiple strategies that work in high-priced markets.

We’re not only showing you which investments work, but sharing the cash flow “superchargers” that routinely make rental property investors even more money in markets that many assume won’t work.

We have different strategies for every investor: value-add, high-cash flow, low money down, and how to combine them to make the most money possible on your next investment. Plus, Dave shares the hybrid approach he’s using to invest in his pricey market (Seattle) and build a cash-flowing portfolio out of state.
