The OMC Real Estate Podcast

Think You’re Diversified? AI May Have a Bigger Stake in Your Portfolio Than You Realize.

You don’t own Nvidia. You never invested in an AI fund. And you’ve spread your money across hundreds of companies through index funds. So you’re diversified, right?

Not necessarily.

In this episode of the OMC Real Estate Podcast, Vaibhav Puranik uncovers the hidden AI exposure inside traditional stock market index funds—and why companies far beyond Silicon Valley could be affected if the AI boom loses momentum.

From chipmakers and cloud giants to power infrastructure companies, discover how seemingly different investments can depend on the same economic trend. Plus, find out why adding more stocks doesn’t always mean adding more protection.

The bigger question: If AI enthusiasm fades, how much of your wealth could feel the impact?

What if AI could do more than answer your questions? What if it could help manage everyday tasks, follow up on work, and operate across applications with less manual effort?

Vaibhav Puranik explores the practical possibilities of personal AI agents, including Meta Muse, Grok Bot, Instinct, and ChatGPT Dots. Discover how these tools can support daily workflows, improve delegation, and help you work more efficiently.

The discussion also covers real-world challenges, including permissions, access limitations, setting guardrails, building workflows across websites, and correcting mistakes when an agent gets something wrong.

Presenter: Vaibhav Puranik, Founder of Old Money Capital and author of Own Real Estate, Not the Headaches.

A Friday evening email. Three failed water heaters. And repairs that might have to wait until Monday.

From Los Angeles, Vaibhav Puranik was trying to manage an unfolding problem at an apartment property in Modesto. Residents needed answers. Then a phone call revealed an unexpected complication.

In this episode, Vaibhav shares the story of that weekend and what it exposed about everyday property operations. When familiar systems fall short, what gives a real estate operator an edge—and how much does the team’s background really matter?

Personal AI agents go beyond the familiar ask-and-answer experience of using an LLM. They combine language models with tools, memory, and access to applications so they can help get things done. Listen to this episode to understand that difference—and what it could mean for your everyday life.

Vaibhav Puranik explores five capabilities that make personal agents useful: their own cloud computer, communication from your phone, work across applications, monitoring replies, and proactive reminders when something needs your attention. From school permission slips to following up on daily goals, discover how these tools can start to feel like your own personal assistant.

Want to see them in action? Join our event, “Transforming Your Life Through Personal AI Agents,” on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, from 6–7 p.m. Pacific. We’ll go deeper with practical demonstrations, product comparisons, and a discussion of privacy and account access.

He had $1.3 million. Then he had $8,000.

Charlie Prestwood had worked for decades, reached retirement, and believed he had finally earned the freedom to enjoy the years ahead.

Travel. Time with his longtime partner. A life without the demands of work.

Instead, within a surprisingly short period, his financial reality changed completely.

What happened?

And how could someone who had accumulated more than $1.3 million end up with just $8,000?

In this episode, Vaibhav Puranik takes you back to Charlie’s story and the events that turned a comfortable retirement plan into a very different reality.

Listen to the full episode. You may look at your own financial future a little differently afterward.

What If Real Estate Didn’t Have to Be a Second Job?

In 2008, a software developer discovered stock options for the first time. Years later, after building his own real estate portfolio, he discovered something that could give busy professionals real estate exposure without the headaches of being a landlord: multifamily syndications.

In this episode, we explore the story behind Own Real Estate. Not the Headaches.—why passive investing matters, what investors often misunderstand about syndications, and why due diligence may matter more than projected returns.

The bond market is enormous, but most people rarely think about it. In this episode, VP explains bonds in simple terms—what they are, how bond prices and yields work, and why the bond market can influence mortgage rates, car loans, stocks, real estate, and the broader economy. If bond yields have ever sounded confusing, this episode is designed to make them much easier to understand.

Imagine being able to invest $5,000 in an apartment building instead of $50,000—and then, if you wanted your money back, simply sell your ownership interest to another investor almost like selling a stock. That is the promise behind tokenized real estate.

But turning real estate ownership into digital tokens is the easy part. What happens when hundreds of investors start buying and selling those tokens throughout the year? Who handles the K-1s, tax allocations, securities regulations, and all the additional investor administration?

In this episode, Vaibhav explores both sides of tokenized real estate: why it could dramatically expand access and liquidity, and the less obvious problems that may prevent it from becoming as simple as its supporters imagine.
