This could be the most encouraging sign for the housing market in years. It’s the final month of 2025, and the housing market has flipped from this time last year. Real prices are down, mortgage rates are near a percent lower, inventory is stabilizing, and affordability…it’s actually improving. But hints at a wave of underwater mortgages are making people nervous. With the number rising, is this the “distress” signal many have been...

Has real estate finally bottomed? Ben Miller, CEO of Fundrise (managing over $7B in real estate), says it’s so. And he’s not just talking about commercial real estate. If true, one particular type of real estate investment could do exceptionally well over the next year, but most people (even Dave!) are going in a different direction. Where could the next big real estate boom happen? We’re getting into it!

Your real estate agent is ignoring you and not sending you deals. You told them you’re interested in investing, but they’re leaving your texts on “read.” This happened a lot to Dave and Henry until they started saying the right thing to agents. Now, they have more investing opportunities than they can handle.
What’s the secret to landing an agent who will put you first? They’re sharing the tactic today.
We’re back, taking que...

Within three years, this high school teacher bought eight rental units, giving him an extra $1,600/month in pure cash flow and helping him pay for his child’s future. Through a combination of affordable markets, “reverse BRRRRs,” and beginner-friendly renovations, Ben Vidovich has built financial freedom that middle-class America rarely achieves.
With his first child on the way, Ben knew he needed something more than the retire...

We know you’ve been thinking about it. Dreaming about it. Talking to your spouse, friends, and family about it. Take our advice: don’t do it…yet.
Obviously, we’re talking about the one thing every real estate investor is after: quitting your job. It’s the goal of every rental property owner to have enough real estate cash flow to pay for your life, tell your boss it’s over, and walk out the door, fading away into the sunset.

Home prices are about to “bend”...but will they break? The 2026 housing market could be another year of a correction, but how low could we go?
Last week, we gave our mortgage rate predictions for 2026; this week, we’re focusing on home price forecasts. The housing market is stuck, and something needs to give. Americans can’t afford homes at these high prices, but with so many “locked-in” homeowners, where will the new supply com...

By the time you finish this episode, you’ll have your exact plan for financial freedom through real estate, starting in 2026.

If you can’t answer all four of those questions, you...

How does a 9th-grade dropout end up retiring early in his 40s with over 50 rental properties that generate the highest possible cash flow?
And we’re not talking about big properties—no apartment buildings or commercial real estate. This investor built the perfect rental property portfolio from duplexes and triplexes—small multifamily properties that any new investor can buy. Instead of taking his energy and buying larger proper...

Want lower mortgage rates? One economic “X factor” could give them to us. It’s time for our 2026 mortgage rate predictions!
Is this the year we get back into the 5% mortgage rate range? It might be more likely than you think. But two things are currently holding mortgage rates in limbo, keeping the housing market “stuck” as buyers beg for a more affordable interest rate. These crucial factors could finally budge, and if/when th...

The housing market has been flat or falling for almost three years, and last month we called it what it is: a correction. Not a crash…but a real correction. So what does that actually mean for investors right now?
Today, the On the Market crew is taking over to talk through how to approach a correction, what smart investors are doing in this environment, and what WE’RE buying as opportunities start to surface. The market feels “...

Don’t buy in good school districts. Always end your leases in winter. NEVER raise rents on a tenant.
These are just some of the “Dionisms” that have made Dion McNeeley, the so-called “lazy investor,” rich with rental properties. 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! Wan...

Mike Baum owns just one rental property, but this one property alone has changed his life. It’s allowed him to become such an investing expert that he’s constantly being asked for his opinion on the BiggerPockets forums, and he provides some of the most well-thought-out investing advice on the internet. So why does he have just one rental property, and why doesn’t he grow using his expertise? The answer isn’t that obvious.

Someone drove a car into Henry’s house. Yes, through his rental property.
For 99% of people reading this, that would put them in the hospital from stress. But Henry didn’t even need to lift a finger when this happened to him on vacation. Why? We’re about to tell you on this BiggerPockets Forum Q&A episode!

Ben Chester had no money. In fact, it was worse—he had $120,000 in debt. He was sleeping at work and renting out his own rented apartment just to survive in America’s most expensive market—New York City.
Now, six years later, he has eight rental properties, is debt-free, and even owns Billy Joel’s former residence (yes, you read that right).
If you’re living in an expensive market and think it’s impossible to invest, Ben has...

How’d he do it? A combination of easy, done-for-you out-of-state investment properties and the ever-profitable BRRRR method.

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 ...
