May 26 How Money Rules Change as You Get Richer

The money rules that work when you're broke will actively hold you back once you're comfortable. The strategies that work at middle income leave you exposed at upper middle class. And what wealthy people obsess over would be a complete waste of time at lower income levels.
Most people are playing the wrong game for their level. Here's what each level actually looks like.
We cover:
→ Level one: the only two priorities when you're totally broke... income and budgeting
→ Why building even a $500 emergency fund changes everything at the lowest income levels → The lifestyle inflation trap that derails most people the moment their income rises
→ Why the bottom 50% of earners pay effectively zero federal income tax and how to take advantage of that
→ The two index funds beginners should start with before worrying about anything else (VTI and VEU)
→ When to stop spreadsheet budgeting and switch to rules-based budgeting instead
→ Why upper middle class families are often the most financially exposed despite high incomes
→ How you make money through concentration but keep and grow it through diversification
→ The study showing 90% of wealthy families are back to middle class within three generations
→ Why the entitlement mindset is the biggest threat at the upper middle class level
→ How to surround yourself with people one level up... and why that's the highest-leverage move at any income level
→ How to invest in the same deals wealthy investors use with as little as $2,500 through an investment club
Most people climb one or two rungs on the ladder and level off. This episode is about what it actually takes to keep climbing.

May 19 What’s Your Worst-Performing Asset? You’d Be Surprised
Join the Co-Investing Club and start building passive income through real estate ($2/day): https://sparkrental.mykajabi.com/co-investing-club-sparkrental
Most people think their home is their best asset. It's actually their worst-performing one. And the two most common ways people handle their mortgage... paying it down aggressively or refinancing every few years... are both quietly costing them.
Here's what to do instead.
We cover:
→ Why US homes have historically appreciated just 2-4% a year and what that means for your overall returns
→ How mortgage arbitrage lets you earn a spread between your mortgage rate and your investment returns
→ Why racing to pay off a 3% mortgage while passing up 15%+ investment returns is the wrong move
→ The amortization schedule most borrowers don't understand... and how refinancing resets it every time
→ Why refinancing every four or five years extends your debt horizon indefinitely and costs thousands in closing costs
→ How home improvements almost never add more value than they cost
→ Why home equity is your most illiquid asset and why adding to it aggressively rarely makes sense
→ Where to put that money instead... syndications, funds, private partnerships and passive real estate investments
→ How to go in on those investments with $2,500 instead of $50K-$100K through an investment club
Your home provides shelter. That's what it's for. The less you spend on it as a living expense the more you free up to put into assets that actually work for you.

April 28 If I Had to Start Over in Real Estate in 2026, I’d Do This
Join the Co-Investing Club and start building passive income through real estate: https://sparkrental.mykajabi.com/co-investing-club-sparkrental
If Brian and Deni had to start over in real estate investing today... they'd do it completely differently. No rental properties. No landlording headaches. No $100K minimums blocking diversification.
2026 is a strange year for real estate. Interest rates are stuck high. Commercial property values have crashed. Investors are paralyzed on the sidelines. But here's the thing: when there's blood in the streets, that's when the best opportunities exist.
The problem? Most people are approaching real estate investing the same way they did 20 years ago. And that strategy doesn't work anymore.
We cover:
→ Why passive investing beats active landlording (and it's not what you think)
→ The two types of liability that come with rental properties (legal and debt)
→ How to invest in real estate with $2,500-$5,000 instead of $50K-$100K
→ The power of vetting investments as a community vs. going it alone
→ The "lazy 1031 exchange" that makes taxes simple
→ Dollar-cost averaging in real estate (yes, it's possible)
→ Why analysis paralysis keeps smart people broke
→ How Brian lost hundreds of thousands buying rentals without a mentor
→ Plugging into existing investor communities instead of starting from scratch
→ The bell curve approach to diversification and stress-free investing
Starting over doesn't mean starting from zero. It means learning from two decades of expensive mistakes so you don't have to repeat them.

April 21 Which home improvements ACTUALLY pay for themselves?
Join the Co-Investing Club and start building passive income through real estate: https://sparkrental.mykajabi.com/co-investing-club-sparkrental
You're spending tens of thousands on home improvements that'll never pay you back. Brian and Deni break down the cold, hard math on which renovations actually increase your home's value (spoiler: there aren't many).
Most homeowners justify massive renovation bills by convincing themselves they'll recoup the money when they sell. They won't. The numbers don't lie... and we've got two major industry reports to prove it.
We cover:
→ The ONE renovation that breaks even (and it's weirdly specific)
→ Why garage door replacements crush everything else at 268% ROI
→ The worst performers that lose you thousands (primary suite additions tank at 18% recovery)
→ How investors renovate profitably while homeowners overpay
→ Why middle-class Americans trap too much wealth in their homes
→ Energy-efficient upgrades that actually save you money while you own the property
→ The joy factor: when spending makes sense even if you lose money
→ Why your home is a liability, not an investment
→ How to think about renovations vs. moving costs
→ Kitchen and bathroom remodels: the math behind the myth

April 03 Avoid These 3 Risks When Investing in Real Estate
Join the Co-Investing Club and start building passive income through real estate: https://sparkrental.mykajabi.com/co-investing-club-sparkrental
Every asset class looks frothy right now. The S&P 500 has had three straight years of outsized returns. Nvidia is up 721% in three years. Gold and silver are surging. Home prices hover near record highs. So where do you actually put your money?
In this session, Brian and Deni break down how they personally invest in real estate when everything looks like a bubble… and why multifamily might be the exception.
We cover: →
→ Why multifamily already had its crash (down 25-30% from 2022 peak)
→ The three biggest risks in real estate right now: recession, inflation and geopolitical uncertainty
→ How recessions are a double-edged sword (lower NOI but also lower interest rates and cap rates)
→ Recession-resilient strategies: property tax abatements, LIHTC properties and the Section 8 overhang loophole
→ Why Class B multifamily can actually benefit during downturns
→ How new multifamily supply is crashing (creating tailwinds for existing properties)
→ What the 2025 UBS Billionaire Survey says about where the ultra-wealthy are moving money
→ Dollar cost averaging into passive real estate ($5k at a time across 12+ deals per year)
→ Diversifying across geography, asset types, operators and investment timelines
→ Creating a bell curve of returns instead of betting everything on one deal
→ Real lessons from deals that went south (and how to vet lead sponsors vs. co-sponsors)
Whether you're worried about a stock market correction or looking for alternatives to overpriced assets, this session walks through a practical framework for investing through uncertainty.
