583: "Getting Your Money to Work For You" is a Middle Class Trap

Keith reviews the state of the real estate market, noting that existing home sales are down about 33% from their 2021 peak, while prices remain firm due to low supply and high demand. 

Affordability challenges are driven by stagnant wages, inflation, and higher mortgage rates, with 70% of mortgage holders still locked in at rates below 5%. 

He observes that in certain markets, new construction may now offer better investor terms than comparable existing properties, especially where builders buy down rates. 

The episode highlights a comparison of nearly a century of asset class returns, reporting real estate's long-term annual appreciation at approximately 4.7%.
