Rich Dad Radio Show: In-Your-Face Advice on Investing, Personal Finance, & Starting a Business

If you've been waiting for the perfect time to invest in real estate, 2025 is it! In this episode of the Rich Dad Real Estate Show, Jaren Sustar breaks down exactly why this year presents one of the best buying opportunities in recent history. 2024 had the lowest number of home sales since 1995, which means deals are everywhere. Sellers are dropping prices, and inventory is sitting longer—creating massive opportunities for investors. Forget chasing shiny objects. Single-family homes and small multifamily properties (duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes) are where the real opportunities are. These properties are easier to finance, rent, and sell—making them the perfect investment for 2025. Jaren shares his top 3 strategies for finding motivated sellers, including vacant properties, out-of-state owners, and estate sales—so you can land great deals before the competition heats up. 00:00 Introduction 00:36 Why 2025 is a Great Year for Real Estate 03:17 The Six Benefits of Real Estate Investment 04:01 Leverage and Forced Appreciation 06:28 Traditional Appreciation and Debt Paydown 07:25 Cash Flow and Tax Benefits 10:40 Market Trends and Opportunities 16:17 The Impact of Inflation and Saving Strategies 20:42 The Role of Investors in Revitalizing Neighborhoods 21:46 Understanding Real Estate Cycles and Market Trends 30:02 Finding and Acquiring Distressed Properties 36:06 Effective Strategies for Contacting Property Owners 38:26 Conclusion and Upcoming Webinar ----- Disclaimer: The information provided in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only.
