Ever feel like you’re stuck at 5 rental properties and just can’t seem to grow beyond that? In this episode of the FasterFreedom Show, Sam and Lucas unpack one of the most common—and frustrating—plateaus real estate investors face: the stall after property number five.

Ever wonder if owning your home is actually a smart investment—or just an overhyped “American Dream”? In this episode of the FasterFreedom Show, Sam and Lucas dig into one of the most debated questions in personal finance: Is your primary residence really a good investment?

They tackle the common arguments against homeownership (hello, opportunity cost and maintenance headaches), and explain why—despite the critics—they still strongly prefer owning over renting in the long run. From building equity and locking in costs to the freedom of making a space your own, they break down the overlooked benefits of buying your home.

Then, the conversation takes a sharp turn into a hot topic: the WNBA’s ongoing pay split debate. Sam and Lucas weigh in on the economics, media narratives, and what fair compensation really looks like in pro sports.
Oh—and Sam also shares a quick story about his recent trout fishing adventure.

Ever wonder if that “Big, Beautiful Bill” Trump passed is actually helping real estate investors? In this episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam and Lucas sit down with CPA and tax strategist Kaden Hackney (BEC / beccfo.com) to break down exactly what’s inside Trump’s major tax reform—and what it really means for investors like you.

They dive deep into Opportunity Zones, domestic manufacturing incentives, and all the real estate-friendly goodies packed into the bill—plus a few curveballs you might not expect. Kaden explains how using a tax pro (like him) can make a world of difference compared to doing your taxes on TurboTax—and why your average accountant might be leaving money on the table.

But it’s not all sunshine and deductions. They also call out some of the less investor-friendly parts of the bill and share what real estate investors need to watch out for in 2025 and beyond.

If you're serious about maximizing tax benefits and building long-term wealth, this episode is a must-listen.
