It is no secret: The housing market has been engineered to keep you out. Institutions are buying entire neighborhoods while the average saver is told to "wait for rates to drop." That is a dead end. Today, we are deploying a specific Counter-Measure. We are bypassing the banks, skipping the mortgage, and buying shares of cash-flowing rental properties for as little as $100. I’m sitting down with Nick Roman from Real Bricks to expose how fractional ownership is no longer a "crypto gimmick"—it is SEC-regulated, deed-backed Liquidity that puts you on the same playing field as the hedge funds. But we aren't just playing offense. We are playing Active Defense. Later in this episode, I’m showing you the "Yellowstone Loophole"—how to use bees, "ugly house" photos, and specific legal exemptions to slash your property tax bill. The county treats you like a tenant on your own land. It’s time to cut their rent. 👇 DEPLOY YOUR CAPITAL👇 Real Bricks: Fractional Real Estate Investing 🔗 https://www.realbricks.com/ SPECIAL OFFER: Use Code EPIC50 to get a $50 Bonus on your first investment. 🛡️ YOUR SURVIVAL TOOLKIT 🛑 STOP THE BLEEDING: The system has blind spots—liens, title fraud, and tax over-assessments—that drain your equity while you sleep.

The internet won’t stop screaming “Housing crash! 2008 again! Get ready!” But what if the entire conversation is upside-down? In this episode, I sit down with George Ellison — the guy who sold a 15,000-home REIT for billions — to break down the truth behind today’s market. And trust me… this story is nothing like the doomsday crowd wants it to be. If you want to invest like the pros instead of guessing like the rest of the internet, check out George’s platform → https://www.propbee.com/They basically built the institutional toolkit for normal people. George walks me through the day his $2.5B deal collapsed in April 2020, why Wall Street predicted 80% of his tenants would stop paying rent, and how the real number ended up being 3%. Then he explains why the fundamentals today look nothing like 2008, why Warren Buffett is quietly loading up, and why high rates have actually created the best setup for buyers we’ve seen in years.
