Is it a good time to invest in real estate? Yes, and we have proof that real estate may be underpriced, even as we hover around the most expensive average home prices in history. How can real estate be undervalued when prices are at historic highs? Dave is sitting down with Scott Trench, CEO of BiggerPockets, who has condensed ten hours' worth of research into one episode to prove to you that, without a doubt, real estate will be winning over the next few years. Plus, he’s about to make a BIG financial bet on it.
We’ve been talking a lot about entering the “upside” era recently—the new cycle of real estate investing—and wanted Scott’s take on it, too. He has invested in real estate for over a decade, reached financial independence through rental properties, and has been openly critical about multiple sectors of the real estate industry over the past few years.
Today, Scott makes a compelling case for real estate as a better investment than stocks, crypto, or gold. Some specific real estate niches could see prices drop even more, making 2025 (and 2026) phenomenal opportunities to buy. Make your choice: tune into this episode and build wealth while others sit on the sidelines or wish you had done so in a few years.
In This Episode We Cover:
Why residential real estate may actually be undervalued in 2025
One sector of real estate with enormous buying opportunities nobody is noticing
Scott’s MASSIVE real estate bet and why he’s selling much of his stock portfolio
Where interest rates will be in 2025 and whether they could rise even more
Rental housing demand and the almost irrefutable case that rent prices will rise
Why Scott believes Bitcoin will be going to $0 in the long term
And So Much More!
