About this episode
Jason discusses his transition from a nomadic lifestyle back to homeownership, reflecting on how capitalism efficiently provides global resources. His conversation with Michael Zuber shifts to the impact of artificial intelligence, which Hartman views as a long-term wealth creator despite its potential to cause short-term job displacement and widen the wealth gap. He predicts that while high-tech hubs like Silicon Valley may face local real estate risks due to AI-driven layoffs, the broader housing market remains a strong investment. Jason highlights a significant supply-demand imbalance, noting that the U.S. population has grown by millions since the 2008 recession while housing inventory has plummeted. Ultimately, Jason and Michael suggest that investors can find major opportunities by providing rental housing to a growing population in an increasingly digital economy. https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ https://onerentalatatime.com/ #AIWealthCreator #JobDisruption #MoonbaseX #HousingInventory #WealthGap #CapitalismEfficiency #RealEstateInvesting #MinimalistNomad #TechMarketRisk #EmpoweredInvestor Key Takeaways: 0:00 The richest homeless man in the world 6:27 Artificial Intelligence and the wealth gap 14:57 Real estate and the short term pains vs. the long term gains 17:58 Chart: US population vs. Inventory and the Great Opportunity     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing:
