The “Lazy” Person’s Guide to Retiring with Rentals (in a Decade!)

November 26, 2025 • 46 mins
Don’t buy in good school districts. Always end your leases in winter. NEVER raise rents on a tenant.

He achieved financial freedom, retiring early with a $200,000/year passive income after slowly, steadily, and lazily investing for the past decade. Want to never swing a hammer? You don’t have to!

November 17, 2025 • 31 mins

The “Great Stall” Has Begun

November 7, 2025 • 32 mins
The housing market is not going to crash tomorrow. It’s also not going to boom soon. We’re not in 2008, and we’re also not in 2020. We’re in a strange gray area, a zone that most Americans have never experienced before.  We’re entering the “Great Stall.” And this could last for years.  All data points to a new kind of housing market forming. But why, and why now? Is there any chance of a housing crash or home price explosion ...

Don’t Bet on the Fed: What Investors Need to Do Now as Rates Rise Again

October 31, 2025 • 30 mins
The Federal Reserve just cut rates by another 0.25%, but mortgage rates went…up? This is now the fourth time the Fed has lowered its federal funds rate, and mortgage rates have defied them. It’s becoming clearer than ever before: real estate investors cannot rely on the Fed to save them. If you’re waiting for mortgage rates to get back in the mid-to-low 5% range, you might be waiting for a while. But you don’t have to. Dave (and...

Home Prices Could “Stall” for Years | October 2025 Housing Market Update

October 24, 2025 • 36 mins
Home prices might not rebound for years. For many markets, we’re seeing negative price growth, and even in the “hot” markets, that growth is slowing way down. Inventory is up, affordability isn’t, and the supply-demand balance is shifting fast. But here’s the thing. If prices remain stagnant, investors may have years’ worth of opportunities to buy, and when the market swings in the other direction, those who did could see signif...

    Are You A Charlotte?

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
