In this final episode of Real Estate Lowdown, I take a moment to reflect on the close of one chapter and the bold beginning of another.
As I transition into my new podcast, Debt Doctor, I’m inviting you into a conversation that’s more than just a farewell - it’s a meditation on change, intention, and the cycles that shape both markets and life itself.
We’re in the middle of a historic pivot. From the end of low-cost capital to the volatility of rising interest rates, the current transitional phase in the real estate market echoes past economic cycles, but this time with deeper complexity.
I share why I believe these patterns aren’t just market phenomena, they’re mirrors of our own need to evolve, adapt, and reimagine what’s possible.
