In this episode of the Tax Smart REI Podcast, Thomas and Ryan sit down with seasoned real estate investor and author Henry Washington to discuss why he’s not chasing creative finance trends, and why his “boring” strategy continues to deliver results in 2025’s unpredictable market.
Tune in to learn:
- Why Henry sticks with off-market deals and direct mail (even in the age of AI).
- How he adjusts his strategy based on market cycles—without overreacting to headlines.
- Why he believes helping sellers matters more than squeezing every dollar.
- How to find pain points in the market—and actually solve them.
- What newer investors get wrong by chasing the “next big thing.”
If you’re looking for a grounded, proven approach to real estate investing, even in times of rising rates and economic uncertainty, this episode will give you clarity and confidence.
