Want to invest in real estate in 2025? Then this is the show to listen to. We’ve had some phenomenal guests on the show this past year. This time, we rounded up our favorite tips from them, ranging from starting with $50,000, which markets to buy in, and how to retire early with fewer rentals, and compiled them into one life-changing episode. These were the episodes you all loved the most, so we’re taking the golden nuggets and giving them to you today!
Is it still worth it to invest in real estate when prices are so high, and affordability is so low? CEO of BiggerPockets, Scott Trench, gives his honest, raw opinion. Next, two investors who retired with small real estate portfolios share why you DON’T need dozens of rental properties to reach financial freedom. You might need just one! Plus, we’ll show YOU the best way to start investing with $50,000.
Finally, we’re breaking down the real estate markets we believe are the best for beginners and the ones with the most bang for your buck. Will Trump’s housing policies change the market? What will tariffs and tax cuts do to real estate? Stick around; we also share our thoughts on Trump’s 2025 plans!
