0:00.0	I am convinced real estate is the best investment that you can make, both in the coming year
0:05.7	and over the long run.
0:07.3	And there might be some people that tell you this isn't the case, but I believe that the
0:11.5	fundamentals and the reasons for investing in real estate are as strong as they have ever been.
0:16.9	And in today's episode, I'll prove it to you.
0:24.1	Hey, everyone, it is Dave from Bigger Pockets.

1:17.3	industry well beyond 2025. I commonly hear people asking or wondering at least if real estate
1:24.0	is still worth it, if you should wait to invest, or maybe you should consider
