This episode features Travis and producer Eric in a wide-ranging, practical talk about what it really takes to build wealth in real estate, busting through common myths and offering clear, non-hype advice for buyers in 2025. Whether you’re scared of becoming a “Money Pit” homeowner, unsure about Grant Cardone’s “asset for asses” line, or just wondering how to buy smarter and flexibly, this one’s packed with lessons from real-world experience.

On this episode we talk about:

– The “Money Pit” phenomenon—how to spot and avoid big real estate mistakes

– Is buying a house actually an investment, or a liability?

– Grant Cardone’s radical take on homeownership—and why context matters

– Creative buying strategies (house hacking, buying with “subject to,” etc.)

– Tips for first-time buyers (avoiding emotional decisions, maximizing flexibility, stress-testing your finances)

Top 3 Takeaways

1. Your house is not usually an investment; treat it as a home first, and focus on flexibility, smart terms, and the ability to hold long-term.

2. Don’t let emotion or lenders dictate your limits—set your own payment boundaries and shop patiently for deals.

3. Opportunities still exist via creative financing, multi-units, and focusing on acquiring and holding real estate for the long game—don’t wait to buy, buy and wait.

Notable Quotes

"Always be careful of advice that directly benefits the person who's giving you the advice."

"Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait."

"In real estate, the deal is what matters. Nothing else."
