He’s Making Over $100K/Year Cash Flow with Small, Affordable Rental Properties
Nathan Nicholson was the top salesperson at his company but had very little to show for it. His retirement fund? It wasn’t doing anything for him today, so he did something most would call “crazy”: he cashed it out. And it was the best move he could’ve made, as it’s helped him buy 23 rental properties and generate well over $100,000 a year in true cash flow!

How Much One “Ordinary” Rental Property Has Made Me in the Last 6 Years
Real estate investors often talk about cash flow, or the profits from flipping a house, but rarely the total impact that buying a rental property and holding it for multiple years can have on your net worth. If you’ve never done the math, it’s significant. In many cases, a single property can create several hundred thousand dollars in wealth.
And to prove it, Dave and Henry have each handpicked

Homes Are Selling for Much Less Than You Think | July 2026 Housing Market Update
We’ve reached the midway point of 2026, and with six months of housing market data to pull from, one thing is clear: the headlines don’t match reality.
The media is full of economic uncertainty, global conflict, and even housing crash predictions. But the actual data points to something else entirely.
The 2026 housing market? It’s surprisingly stable. No, there isn’t a ton of activity. Inter
Build vs. Buy: Which Is Best for Your First Rental?
You don’t have to buy your first rental property—you can build one instead. Newer systems, fewer repairs, and that “brand new” feeling that tenants may pay more rent for. But…is it worth it? Building a small multifamily in a single-family area could let you house hack and own a rare property in your market, but is the headache worth the effort?

If House Flipping is “Dead,” How Is She Flipping 10+ Houses THIS Year?
Many people assume house flipping doesn’t work anymore.
They’re wrong.
House flipping isn’t dead. The “easy” money is. While it’s true that flipping houses isn’t as forgiving as it was just a few years ago—and yes, the “bad” flippers are being exposed—the fear surrounding this investing strategy is actually creating massive opportunities for those who do their homework.

He Bought 58 Rental Units in Just 4 Years by Solving Other Landlords’ Problems
When the Great Recession hit, Andy Gil lost his business. Suddenly, he was forced to start over. But the fear of losing everything again was the driving force behind what would come next.

I Started Investing with Just $7,500. Now I Own Millions in Rentals
One day, Remington Lyman was brought into his boss's office, told that he did above-and-beyond at his job, and was handed a 2% raise with a smile. All the extra hours, all that hard work, equaled the equivalent of an inflation-matching salary bump. That was it—it was time to put his financial freedom in his own hands.
Remington began building an income-replacing rental property portfolio, so wh
How Much Real Estate Do You Actually Need to Be Free?
How many rental properties do you need to retire? A lot fewer than you think.
When people start investing in real estate, they think they need 20, 50, or even 100 rental units to build wealth, retire early, and secure financial freedom for themselves and their families. This is not the case…and it’s not even close.
The average American only needs eight—yes, eight—paid-off rental properties t

Chad Carson’s 2 Deals/Year Strategy That Makes You a Rental Millionaire
Is buying rental properties still worth it in 2026?
There’s no denying that rising interest rates, sluggish rent growth, and other factors have taken the shine off many properties that would have been home-run deals only a few years ago.
But this is real estate we’re talking about. Buy-and-hold investing tends to reward people in the long run. It’s just that, to buy in this market, you’ve go
I Bought 15 Rental Units While Making $15/Hour Putting Up Fences
Britton Eads was making $15 per hour putting up fences all day. He had no college degree; he dropped out of the electrician trade and didn’t have many other options. One day, he read Rich Dad Poor Dad, and realized his life didn’t need to stay on the same track it was going.

The Strongest Sign for the Housing Market in Years | June 2026 Update
The housing market is doing what nobody expected—and none of the mainstream media is covering it. Trends are forming that most Americans thought were impossible in this type of economy, greatly impacting home prices, days on market, and buyers' negotiating power.

Morgan Housel: The Investing Expert’s “System” for Stress-Free Wealth
Morgan Housel, best-selling author of The Psychology of Money, Same as Ever, and The Art of Spending Money, has a “system” for building wealth that seems too simple, too easy to be true—but is. Most Americans think getting wealthy is only for those willing to work 100+ hour weeks, build a business from scratch, inherit millions, or get a high-paying six-figure job.

Retire Early with Less Than 10 Rentals? She Did It, Starting in 2022
You don’t need a big, expensive, stressful rental property portfolio to retire on your terms. Today’s guest was able to leave her W-2 job in her late 30s, all thanks to a small, smart rental property portfolio.

Buy 1 Rental Every 2 Years and Watch What Happens
Buying just one rental every two years can make you financially free—and by a lot.
So many real estate investing influencers constantly talk about buying dozens, even hundreds of rental units to live your dream life and become a millionaire. But, as someone who’s been consistently investing, doesn’t own dozens of properties, and has made millions from real estate, I thought I’d do the math.
The Little-Known Loan That Helped Me Turn $9K Down into $150K in Equity
This is arguably the best real estate investing loan on the market today. It funds the purchase, renovation, closing costs, and up to six months of mortgage payments, so you’re not on the hook when renovating a vacant property, all for 3.5% down.
Today’s guest used it to put down just $9,000 on a house and, less than a year later, had $150,000 in equity. It changed his life and enabled him to

6 Green Flags Most Real Estate Investors Miss
There are six “green flags” most real estate investors completely miss, but can make them serious wealth. Any of these six will allow you to buy an undervalued investment property, increase its value (and rents), and walk away wealthier than the other investors who simply glanced past it.

If a Rental Doesn’t Pass This “Test,” Don’t Buy It
If you’re about to buy your first rental property, or are buying another, hear this.
In today’s market, investors are growing more nervous before making a down payment on a property. That could be tens, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars you’ve worked for, and putting it in the wrong rental could set you back years to financial freedom.

Buy a $500K/Year Income Stream? This Is How to Do It

How to Find $150K Rental Properties in 2026
You’re looking online and seeing properties priced at $300K, $400K, $500K, or more. As a real estate investor, that won’t cut it.

Would We Ever Invest in Tenant-Friendly States?
Are “tenant-friendly” states actually making investors richer? Ever since we started investing, people have always told us to invest in “landlord-friendly” states—places with quicker eviction laws, no or limited rent control, and fewer license requirements and fees. But most Americans will know that the top-appreciating markets like California, New York, Washington, and Hawaii are tenant-friendly.

The Worst Real Estate Investing Advice I've Ever Heard
This is the worst real estate investing advice I’ve ever heard—and I KEEP hearing it. If you go on to any “real estate investing” TikTok page, they say the same thing: use other people’s money, wait for the crash, interest rates will go down…and that’s not even the worst of the advice.
This type of real estate advice will make investors broke, put them in riskier positions, and stop them from r
Michael Zuber: Why the Average American Won’t Make It Without Rentals

The War Has Changed the Housing Market | April 2026 Update
The Iran War is already changing the housing market. Home sales have slowed, mortgage rates jumped back up, a reversal in crucial housing affordability is well underway—and we’re not done yet.

What Happened to Real Estate Investing?
What happened to real estate investing?
From 2010 until 2022 everyone wanted to buy real estate. Fortunes were being made, cash flow was plentiful in many markets, and real estate seemed to only go up…until it didn’t.

He Bought After 2008, Sold at the Peak, and JUST Bought Again
Few investors have gotten the real estate market as right as Brian Burke.
