Would you learn how to drive by watching Fast & The Furious?
Then why are so many people learning real estate investing from Instagram reels and TikTok gurus?
In this episode of The Real Estate Pessimist: The Good, The Bad, and The Truth About Real Estate Investing, Kristi Kandel and Erik Stenbakken break down hyperreality — the blurry line between what’s real and what’s just for show in the real estate world (and life).
We’re pulling back the curtain on: → Fake door counts → Burnout business models → Curated social media highlight reels → Chasing goals that aren’t even yoursThis is the stuff nobody talks about — but everyone needs to hear.
Because in real life? There are no stunt doubles. No filters. No shortcuts.
Just the truth about building a real estate business (and life) that actually fulfills you — not just looks good online.
