Epic Real Estate Investing

The internet won’t stop screaming “Housing crash! 2008 again! Get ready!” But what if the entire conversation is upside-down? In this episode, I sit down with George Ellison — the guy who sold a 15,000-home REIT for billions — to break down the truth behind today’s market. And trust me… this story is nothing like the doomsday crowd wants it to be. If you want to invest like the pros instead of guessing like the rest of the internet, check out George’s platform → https://www.propbee.com/They basically built the institutional toolkit for normal people. George walks me through the day his $2.5B deal collapsed in April 2020, why Wall Street predicted 80% of his tenants would stop paying rent, and how the real number ended up being 3%. Then he explains why the fundamentals today look nothing like 2008, why Warren Buffett is quietly loading up, and why high rates have actually created the best setup for buyers we’ve seen in years. If you want to understand the market instead of getting played by the headlines, this is the episode you listen to. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This episode delves into the implications of Universal Basic Income (UBI) and AI automation on society and the economy. It discusses how $2,000 per month UBI might seem like a relief but is actually a form of containment, keeping people compliant while tech industries quietly replace human jobs. Silicon Valley's advances in automation, from robotic kitchens to AI customer service, are side-lining human participation. The episode warns that UBI could inflate the housing market and create a 'useless class' of people the economy no longer needs. As prices adjust to absorb UBI, only those who control assets will thrive. The discussion draws from examples like the Stockton, California UBI pilot, suggesting that UBI could raise living costs without improving quality of life, pushing people to seek financial independence outside conventional systems.

Treasury Secretary reveals how the government plans to use property owners' wealth to address America's $37 trillion debt.
