Homebuyers are getting the biggest discounts on properties in over 12 years—and it’s only getting started.  At this point, nobody can refute that a full-on buyer’s market has arrived. Homes are selling below list price, buyers are waiting out the market, and sellers are getting increasingly desperate. All the while, mortgage rates are a full percentage point lower than a year ago, inventory is up, and mortgage payments are actua...

Stop Buying Rentals and Start Buying Rental Portfolios (Scale Much Faster)

February 16, 2026 • 31 mins
If you want financial freedom faster, you need to stop buying rentals and start buying rental portfolios. Most people have never thought about it. Instead, they slowly build their rental portfolio to 10 or (at the most) 20 units. And while we love the slow-and-steady approach, Jose Martinez is doing something much more—buying 10+ unit portfolios in a single transaction. He only needed a few “deals” to reach financial freedom.  ...

February 9, 2026 • 37 mins
One property can change your entire life. Less than a decade after buying your first, you could be completely financially free, like today’s guest, who has one piece of advice: “Just buy something.” Cameron Philgreen bought a small house in Kansas. Less than ten years later, that home’s profit allowed him to build his dream business—a coffee shop that he runs, instead of working a 9-5 job. But that’s just the effect of one pr...

Renting vs. Buying a House: How to Get Wealthier with Either Decision

February 6, 2026 • 36 mins
Renting vs. buying a house. Everyone has the debate completely wrong, and it’s costing Americans their financial freedom. “Live in Los Angeles? Guess you have to rent. Live in the Midwest?

The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.
