Grow Your Gold, Earn Yield in Physical Gold Instead of paying to store your metal, you could earn up to 4% annually in gold by leasing it through Monetary Metals. https://www.monetary-metals.com/ken If I had to start over in real estate in 2025, there are three types of deals I’d run from, no matter how “good” they look on paper. After buying thousands of units, making every mistake in the book, and living through multiple market cycles, I’ve learned that the fastest way to lose money in real estate is by ignoring the risks hiding in plain sight. In this video, I’ll walk you through: 1️⃣ Why overbuilt condo communities can destroy your margins 2️⃣ How HOAs drain your cash flow (and control your business) 3️⃣ The hidden danger in oversupplied urban cores with heavy new construction You’ll learn exactly what to avoid, the traps most new investors fall into, and how to protect your downside while still building long-term wealth in today’s market.
