In this week’s REI Only episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam breaks down the surprising stat from the Wall Street Journal: small investors are buying 30% of homes in 2025. But is it as crazy as it sounds?
Get the real story behind the numbers — who these “small investors” actually are, why hedge funds are backing off, and how local knowledge and off-market deals are creating massive opportunity for savvy investors. Sam shares practical insights for thriving in today’s “weird but normal” market, plus key tips on creative financing, exit strategies, and staying disciplined in your buy box.
