The Conversation That Changed How I See the Next Five Years

For Real Estate and Real Estate Investing

Last week, I had coffee with a serious real estate investor.

Not someone dabbling either. We are talking about someone who is buying property and has a networth of 25 million. Maybe more

He is buying single-family homes in the $450K–$650K range… renting them out for $2,200–$3,300/month… stacking deals. Some below market, some “ value add”, but most pretty much close to retail.

We’re sitting there talking…

and he says something that stuck with me:

“Nothing is going to stop the inflation wave that’s coming.”

“ Because it’s already here” “ Oil Prices are up because of the conflict and that will effect food prices, shipping, travel etc. “

Now… whether you agree with that or not isn’t the point.

The strategy behind it is.

He’s not trying to time the market.

He’s not waiting for rates to drop.

He’s not sitting on the sidelines.

He’s buying… and holding.

Because his belief is simple:

If inflation continues…

1. Rents go up

2. Costs go up

3. Values adjust.

4. Dollar and buying power weaken

And the people who own assets…

Win. in the long run

Here’s the part most people don’t think about.

What happens if you DON’T invest?

Not emotionally.

Logically.

Over the next 5 years…

You’re still paying rent.

You’re still dealing with rising costs.

And you’re watching the gap grow between:

people who own…

and people who don’t.

That gap isn’t just money.

It's an opportunity.

Now before you think…

“Yeah, but I’m not that guy…”

Exactly, most of us are not.

You don’t need to be.

You don’t need millions.

You don’t need 10 properties.

You don’t need to go buy a $600K rental tomorrow.

You just need to start at YOUR level.

That might be:

• House hacking

• Buying your first home

Buying your First Rental

Maybe Buying Rental #3

• Partnering on a deal

• Or just getting educated and ready

Because the goal isn’t perfection…

It’s participation.

I see a lot of people right now waiting.

Waiting for rates to drop.

Waiting for prices to fall.

Waiting for the perfect time.

Waiting for that perfect deal

I’ll tell you this straight…

The perfect time rarely shows up.

And over a 5-year window…

The biggest risk might not be investing.

it might be doing nothing.

If you’re reading this and thinking:

“I need to make a move… I just don’t know how…”

That’s where AZREIA comes in.

I will be speaking at the May’s monthly meeting on May 11th in Phoenix and May 12th in Tucson
