Why I Bet Big on Real Estate (and My Clients Don’t All Have To)

My Personal Wealth-Building Mix—and What Others Are Doing Differently

Real estate is my favorite because I can control it. I can negotiate, add value, refinance, and leverage other people’s money to build equity faster. Stocks can’t do that.

That said, not everyone wants tenants or toilets. Some of my clients balance their portfolios with index funds, syndications, or private lending. Others focus on business equity or dividend plays. The point isn’t what you invest in—it’s that you’re building something that works while you sleep.

My advice? Start where you can make the biggest difference with your time, money, and knowledge, and start with what you KNOW and UNDERSTAND. For me, that’s always been real estate.
