This Week In Real Estate: Housing Facts vs. Doomsday Fiction: Analyzing the 2025 Market with Michael Zuber
Jason and Michael critique predictions of a housing market crash, arguing that current data contradicts "doomer" narratives.

2365: 465% ROI: Why Single-Family Homes Crush the S&P 500 and Gold | Client Case Study with Jay VonLehman
Today, Jason talks about the power of leverage and real estate investment. A core argument is presented through comparative returns, illustrating that leveraging single-family homes yields a superior return on investment compared to the S&P 500 and gold, driven by the host's "inflation-induced debt destruction strategy." He also touches upon a housing shortage, limited inventory, and the Federal Reserve's rate cut, which is expected to further increase home prices. Finally, Jason encourages listeners to become direct investors and "buy some houses and rent them out," criticizing more complex investment vehicles like syndications and the stock market as deals where only the promoters profit significantly. Jason then welcomes client Jay Von Lehman, a former Army engineer officer turned real estate investor, who discussed his investment journey from reading Rich Dad Poor Dad in 2013 to his current focus on gold investments through Monetary Metals. They explored the economic benefits of real estate and precious metals investments, particularly in the context of inflation and currency devaluation, while also discussing the government's stance on cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin. They conclude with a discussion about the current real estate market conditions and the benefits of self-managing properties across multiple states, with Jay sharing his experience managing properties remotely. #RealEstate #Leverage #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #AssetAppreciation #SingleFamilyHomes #IncomeProperty #TaxFavoredAssetClass #FedRateCut #MoneyPrinter #HousingShortage #ShadowDemand #EconomicBoom #GDPGrowth #TechnologyBoom #AI #MonthsOfSupply #DirectInvestor #StopOvercomplicatingIt #BuyHousesRentThemOut #MasterClass #ClientCaseStudy #PasadenaCalifornia Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:58 Join our FREE Masterclass every second Wednesday of each month.
