How do you keep the cash flow and avoid the headache? Let’s find out! David is back on Seeing Gre...

“Negative” cash flow can help you reach financial freedom up to FIVE TIMES faster, so why are most investors ignoring low-to-no cash flow deals?

But, with another recession risk looking more real, are hosts still safe? We brought AirDNA’s Jamie Lane back to...
