About this episode
This might be the easiest time to find real estate deals in years—and early signs suggest 2026 could be even better.
The year is almost over, so today, we’re reviewing our favorite trends, tactics, and real estate investing strategies of 2025. Plus, many of them will last well into 2026. These are the things that we’re focusing on next year, and there’s a lot of good news for investors. This is shaping up to be one of the easiest times in years to find profitable real estate deals. But we’re not just talking rentals—we share a “mailbox money” investment that’s still holding strong in 2025 (and could in 2026).
Plus, Dave details a “slow” strategy that builds wealth with way less stress—one that both he and James are going all-in on. Tired of sharing your profits with the tax man? A massive tax benefit that returned this year will last into 2026, and Kathy is ready to take full advantage of it.
