The Real Estate Market is Crashing… What Should Investors Do?
Depending on who you ask, real estate is either falling apart or presenting some of the best buying opportunities we've seen in years.So which is it?I sat down with Cam Cathcart, Ben Humble, and Michael Miller to figure out what's ACTUALLY happening in the real estate market right now. And as usual, we didn't exactly agree on everything.We're talking falling home prices, rising foreclosures, struggling house flippers, and why some investors are finding incredible deals while others can't seem to make the numbers work.In this episode:- Why the real estate market might be frozen rather than crashing- What's happening to multifamily properties versus single-family homes- Why rising foreclosures don't necessarily mean another 2008- How new investors can find off-market deals without spending thousands on marketing- Whether house flipping still makes sense in today's market- Why luxury real estate might be outperforming traditional housing- What we'd each do differently if we were starting over today🏠 WANT TO FIND OFF-MARKET DEALS?I put together a FREE playbook showing you how to approach pre-foreclosure opportunities and start conversations with potential sellers.Just head to my Instagram and DM me the word PRE26:https://www.instagram.com/beardybrandon/Drop a comment: Do YOU think the real estate market is crashing or crushing right now?Subscribe and hit the bell 🔔 for more conversations about real estate, business, financial freedom, and building a BetterLife.00:00 – Is the Real Estate Market Crashing?02:16 – What's Actually Happening to Home Prices?04:45 – Why the Housing Market Might Be Frozen08:18 – Price Cuts, Builder Confidence, and Foreclosures11:01 – Are Foreclosures Really Surging?15:03 – How to Find Distressed Properties19:55 – Finding Real Estate Deals With Almost NO Marketing Budget26:07 – What Investors Are Seeing on the Ground30:30 – Should You Sell at a Loss or Hold?34:03 – Is House Flipping Still a Good Business?36:51 – Why Luxury Real Estate Is Different39:59 – Our Best Advice for Investors Right Now🧔♂️ WHO AM I?My name is Brandon Turner!

10 Real Estate Strategies Ranked for 2026 (And 3 We're Avoiding) | Ep. 203
Real estate has changed.Strategies that felt almost impossible to screw up five years ago are getting investors crushed today... while other corners of the market are quietly producing some incredible opportunities.So Cam, Ben, Michael, and I sat down and asked a simple question:What real estate strategies would we ACTUALLY bet on going into 2026 and 2027?In this episode:🞄 The real estate strategies we're actively avoiding right now🞄 Why simply buying a rental and waiting might not cut it anymore🞄 10 strategies we believe can still work extremely well in today's market🞄 Why operations are becoming more important than the asset itself🞄 The strategies we're personally buying, watching, and staying away from🞄 Why the “best” strategy still comes with problems you'll have to solveHere's the biggest takeaway: there is no easy strategy.Every one of these has problems. The opportunity is finding a problem YOU are willing to become world-class at solving.Pick your thing. Go all in.

We Almost Got Into a Real Fight About Strategy | Ep. 202
Things got a little heated on this one.And the funny part is... this wasn't even supposed to be a podcast.We were hanging out with Ben Humble after last week's episode when Cam started pressing him on his system for finding real estate deals - and the debate took off from there.The conversation was too good NOT to share, so... here's the accidental podcast.In this episode:🞄 Ben and Cam debate what it ACTUALLY takes to consistently find great deals🞄 Why your market might be the problem - not your acquisition system🞄 The difference between being a real estate investor and building a real estate business🞄 Why success online doesn't always mean someone is great at what they teach🞄 The surprisingly complicated ethics of wholesaling real estateNobody really backed away from disagreement on this one.We got into everything from acquisition systems and scaling into new markets to authenticity, wholesaling, and whether the industry needs more regulation.And somewhere in the middle... Cam attempted a handstand.Drop a comment: Where do YOU draw the ethical line with wholesaling?

Escaping Communism to Buy 300 Houses with Ben Humble | Ep. 201
Ben Humble escaped communist Romania as a kid, lived in a refugee camp, moved to Canada, failed math twice, started a cleaning business... and somehow ended up doing hundreds of real estate deals.So yeah, we had a lot to talk about.Ben joins Cam and me for a conversation about his journey into real estate, the lessons he learned after trying just about every strategy in the book, and the framework that eventually changed the way he looks at buying properties entirely.We also get into a surprisingly deep conversation about ego, humility, social media, and whether successful people have a responsibility to share what they've learned.In this episode:🞄 Ben's wild story of escaping communism and eventually finding real estate🞄 Why humility might actually be a business superpower🞄 The problem with treating real estate like “passive income”🞄 Ben's “Four Exits” framework for buying deals with multiple options🞄 Why serious investors should be making WAY more offers🞄 The debate over cash flow, equity, and what actually makes a good dealOne of my biggest takeaways from this conversation:Most investors spend all their energy trying to decide whether they should flip, wholesale, BRRRR, or hold rentals.Ben uses a framework that looks at it differently.It's a framework Ben and I actually disagreed about at first... until I eventually had to admit his system was better than mine.You'll be seeing a lot more of Ben around here (and inside First Deal!) going forward.Drop a comment: What's more important to you when buying a rental - cash flow or equity?Subscribe and hit the bell 🔔 for more conversations about real estate, business, financial freedom, and building a BetterLife.00:00 – We're Back in the Interview Seat07:08 – Ben's Escape From Communist Romania17:08 – Humility, Ego & the Problem With Perfection29:09 – From Cleaning Business to 300 Real Estate Deals36:49 – The Four Exits Framework46:00 – Why Most Investors Aren't Making Enough Offers55:30 – Finding Great Deals Is a Numbers Game01:01:02 – Should Your Rentals Even Cash Flow?01:07:32 – What's Next for Ben & First Deal🧔♂️ WHO AM I?My name is Brandon Turner!
