In this episode of The Personal Finance Podcast, Andrew sits down with Dave Meyer to break down exactly how to think about real estate investing in 2026, covering what the data actually says versus what headlines and social media are telling you, why most investors are choosing the wrong strategy for their life, the first three questions every investor should ask before buying anything, what a real deal looks like right now and which underwriting assumptions people keep getting wrong, why waiting on the sidelines for a crash is a strategy with its own serious risks, and when passive investing simply beats active investing for most people.
