If you do, or have considered, buying deals from off market providers, you simply cannot afford to miss this episode.

It’s almost here! As many of you know, I’ve been hard at work writing my next book, Better than Cash Flow.
For years, investors have been told that cash flow is the only safe reason to buy real estate. But as inflation rises and interest rates climb, cash flow has become elusive in most markets. While some wait on the sidelines, savvy investors continue building wealth by spotting opportunities others miss. This book reveals how the wealthy use real estate to grow and protect their money, even in challenging markets. You’ll learn to analyze deals like a pro, uncover hidden opportunities, and avoid common pitfalls. If you’ve ever wanted insight into how millionaire investors succeed, this book is for you.

After consecutive hurricanes, many Florida homeowners are selling flood-damaged homes “as is” for cash to escape the cycle of repeated repairs, rising insurance costs, and relocations. St. Petersburg resident Ali Linville, who saw her home flood three times since 2021, reflects the growing trend of residents ready to “cut losses” and leave. As some insurers pull out of Florida due to frequent natural disasters, residents face steep insurance rates nearly four times the national average, and many are opting to sell damaged properties to investors. While these sales may result in a financial hit, the relief from future hurricane stress is often worth it. This shift toward investor-owned properties could eventually alter the property values and community landscape in flood-prone areas as fewer long-term residents choose to stay.

In October, the unemployment rate for white Americans rose slightly to 3.8%, deviating from the national rate, which held steady at 4.1%.

Labor force participation also dipped overall, with white and Hispanic workers seeing lower engagement rates, while Asian participation increased.
