Long before “BRRRR” was a viral meme referencing Jerome Powell’s manic money-printing machine, it was an acronym for David Greene’s “Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance and Repeat” real estate investing mantra. Greene’s latest book, “Long-Distance Real Estate Investing”, explores his approach through the lens of remote, out-of-state real estate investing. Greene argues that the real estate markets which have the potential to provide the highest returns aren’t necessarily where most people choose to live. From there, he shows investors how to invest where it makes sense while living where they want.
