You’ve heard it your whole life: “Real estate is risky.” But what if that belief has been feeding you the biggest lie in investing?

In this podcast episode, I’m going to shatter that myth and show you why Wall Street might be the riskiest gamble of all and how real estate could actually be your true path to financial freedom.

We’ve been programmed to believe that if we just keep throwing our money into mutual funds and 401(k)s, everything will work out. But let’s be honest how many people do you know that have actually achieved true financial freedom that way? Not many. I’m diving deep into historical data and uncovering what really happens to your wealth when it's in the stock market… especially during recessions.

I walk you through the actual charts of the S&P 500 vs. U.S. median home values over the past 70+ years. We analyze the patterns. We look at how both asset classes perform through every major recession since 1950. The results are shocking but they back up what I’ve seen again and again working with thousands of investors.

For example, the S&P 500 has had numerous drops of 40–50%, often taking years to recover. Meanwhile, real estate? It dipped in only one major recession and even then recovered faster than the stock market. And that’s not even counting the cash flow or the multiple profit centers real estate provides.

Look, there’s risk in everything including real estate. But the real risk comes from ignorance and blind trust in traditional financial advice. I’ve seen people gamble on stocks without understanding them, lose it all in options, and still come back thinking the markets are “safe.” That’s not safety that’s delusion.

I also talk about the difference between active and passive investing why trying to flip houses without a clue is risky, but passive real estate done right can build serious wealth. I share stories, stats, and personal examples that make it painfully obvious why most people have been sold the wrong narrative for too long.

So the next time someone says, “Real estate is risky,” pull out the receipts. This episode will arm you with the knowledge and confidence to counter that noise and make smart, strategic moves with your money.

If you’re tired of gambling on Wall Street, this episode will open your eyes to the truth: Real estate isn’t risky. Ignorance is.
