On today's weekly roundup of the biggest headlines on Wall Street, Nicole unpacks the biggest stories that hint at the future of an ultra-monetized internet where we pay for social media and our favorite content.

Having a high DTI (debt-to-income) ratio is enough to stop many would-be investors from taking the leap and buying their first, or next, rental property. So, what do you do when your income isn't enough to buy the next property? What if you've used up all your financeability on your primary residence or house hack? How can you squeeze out a loan to buy another property? We’re back on another Seeing Greene episode, where your “one away from seven hundred” host, David Greene, is here to give you practical advice on buying and selling properties. In today’s episode, we take multiple video and written submissions, with topics touching on how to buy more real estate when your debt-to-income is maxed out, what to do with a dangerous tenant, refinancing at today’s high interest rates, and why off-market deals aren’t always what they seem to be. And, if you’ve struggled with setting standards before, you’re in for a special treat, as David gives himself (and all of you) a personal pep talk on expecting excellency. Want to ask David a question? If so, submit your question here so David can answer it on the next episode of Seeing Greene. Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can hop on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot! In This Episode We Cover: The bright side of BRRRRing even with rising interest rates  DTI (debt-to-income) requirements and getting around them for your next deal When it’s worth selling a rental property that has a low interest rate loan on it Off-market real estate deals and knowing when a difficult deal is worth pursuing  Setting high standards for yourself and your team while not getting bogged down by lackluster work effort  What to do when a tenant poses a danger to not only themselves but your property  And So Much More!
