The housing market could do something it’s never done before—permanently reverse. For as long as home prices have been recorded, they’ve always increased over time. But, with one of the largest generations, the Baby Boomers, aging out, and household formation shrinking as birth rates decline, we could face a new problem—insufficient demand. This is a huge problem for Millennials and the Gen Z generation since buying a house, the p...

More price cuts could be coming this year. Zillow just made headlines by revising its 2025 housing market forecast, now predicting home values to drop in much of the United States. But do other top housing market forecasters agree, and if home prices fall this year, does it put you in a better position as an investor to lock down discounted deals? Dave is unpacking Zillow’s new prediction, plus sharing his own take on what might ha...

We’re going to show you three real rental property deals we’re buying in 2025. All of these are being purchased in 2025—these are NOT cheap deals from 2020 with 3% - 4% interest rates. Each one will bui...

Andrew Freed turned one condo into a rental property portfolio that makes him $10,000 per month! Just four years ago, Andrew had little to his name—around $50,000 and a $200,000 condo. That’s what a decade of working had gotten him, but to Andrew, it was a sign he wasn’t doing enough. Like most real estate investors, Andrew stumbled upon Rich Dad Poor Dad and made an immediate change that would propel him to financial freedom. Four...

Home prices could weaken, bringing big bargains to patient buyers who’ve been sitting on the sidelines. The housing market is seeing some turbulence, even if it remains more stable than other parts of the economy. Inventory is rising, and sellers are in a tough position, with many buyers still waiting out the market. Stock sell-offs and tariffs are keeping fear high, and the housing market could freeze because of it. Where is the h...

Real estate investing in 2025 has huge, underrated potential to make you wealthy—but hardly anyone is talking about it. As tariffs, mortgage rates, and stock market volatility take over the news cycle, average Americans are turning away from time-tested investments like real estate and worrying about unstable markets instead. This could be a huge mistake because, as I’m about to show you, the ability to get rich with real estate ha...

This high school football coach grew a real estate side hustle over the past four years that now replaces his W2 income. He did it making a median salary, all while working his full-time job and raising his family. He didn’t use flashy methods, risky strategies, or constant cold calling. Starting with around $30,000, Lamontis Gardner went from zero to 19 rental units in just four years and is STILL growing! After pandemic lockdown...

Does your rental property need some updating? Maybe you’re buying a house with unpermitted work, and you’ve got to go back and fix a few problems. Or, this could be your first home renovation as you try to squeeze some sweat equity out of your property. Regardless of your situation, if you’re planning a home renovation, you’ll need to know how to do a few things: build a scope of work, pull permits, manage contractors, and ensure t...

Inflation is eating away your net worth, and if you don’t do something about it, you could be worse off in the future. What’s the best inflation-proof investment to make in 2025? Which options will merely hedge against inflation, and which will beat inflation so you grow your wealth while prices are going up? With new tariffs potentially flaring up inflation again, every investor should be paying careful attention to this. Dave did...

Just buy ONE rental property and watch your life change. Today’s guest was working multiple jobs, and a single property purchase allowed her to finally free up her weekends and regain some freedom in her life. The best part? She did it with just around $4,000, then repeated the process again and again, leading her to quit her demanding teaching job in just four years! Today, she’s describing exactly how she did it!

The housing market is finally giving buyers a break. Home prices aren’t crashing, but many of them are dropping, or stagnating, as homes sit on the market and seller confidence drops, buyer control rises, and economic sentiment remains low. Americans aren’t feeling good about the economy, but this makes buying a home even better: lower mortgage rates, the ability to get seller concessions, and longer negotiation times put buyers in...

Over the past month, I’ve decided to make a big move that will greatly affect my real estate portfolio. This was a decision I made after seeing severe weakness in the market and realizing it was time to put my money where my mouth is. For months, I’ve been talking about the “upside” era strategy of real estate investing—the theory that now is a great time to buy as real estate is primed to experience significant upsides in the futu...

Today’s guest makes $60,000 per MONTH the old-fashioned real estate investing way. He buys rentals you can find on any real estate listing site, uses his own money to invest, doesn’t need “creative financing” techniques to fund the deal, and treats his tenants well. This is a real estate portfolio anyone can repeat, and it has made Welby Accely a multimillionaire in just over a decade, even after he lost everything (three times!). ...

Home prices are falling fast in some prime real estate markets across the country while others remain stubbornly stuck. What’s the defining factor between a stable housing market and one where sellers are actively cutting prices? Housing inventory! This metric defined the 2020 - 2022 run-up in home prices, but the rubber band of demand is snapping back as buyer power grows, housing inventory rises, and investors get even better buy...

What’s the best rental property for the average investor? It’s not a single-family rental, it’s not a large apartment building, it’s not even a duplex or a triplex—it’s a “sweet spot” small multifamily. These investment properties, ranging from five to 25 units, make more money, are easier to manage, and help you scale faster to achieve financial freedom. Even large multifamily investing experts like Brian Burke are ditching the hu...

This investor built a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio with low-money-down loans and little cash-to-close. Thanks to his smart “rinse and repeat” strategy, he’s quickly scaled from zero to 13 rental units in just four years, all while collecting thousands of dollars of cash flow a month. He would have never been able to get to this place if he hadn’t followed a strategy many investors are too scared to try. Mike Johnson kn...

The housing market saw significant “softening” in February, with inventory rising, demand shrinking, and buyers regaining more control while sellers find themselves in a tough position. Why is this happening now, especially as mortgage rates continue to dip? With recession fears and economic tensions running high, Americans worry what’s coming next, causing much of the economy to shift. With price declines already happening in some...

There’s a hidden passive income stream in your basement, backyard, or garage, and only one investing strategy can unlock it. More and more homeowners and landlords are using this strategy to pay their mortgages, pad their pockets with cash flow, and increase their home values significantly. Of course, we’re talking about ADUs (accessory dwelling units), the rental properties that states are begging you to build, and you can do so r...

House flipping can make you wealthy. Everyone has seen the TV shows, podcast interviews, and the high-priced renovations, even in their own neighborhoods.

Thankfully, you’re not out of luck. Today, we’re teaching you how to flip houses from a distance, even thousands of...

Stock prices are falling, and Americans are fearful. Tariffs, trade wars, economic tension, and interest rates are putting pressure on asset prices. Commercial real estate has already crashed, but the worst may be yet to come. Home prices aren’t growing; in fact, small multifamily prices may even be declining. What should you do? We can’t provide financial advice, but Scott Trench, CEO of BiggerPockets, is revealing how he’s protec...
