Unfortunately I spent the entire Labor Day Weekend on the couch with what I thought was just a bad cold until I tested positive for covid. During this time I binged Netflix’s latest series, How to Get Rich. The fact that I found comfort watching a personal finance show while sick proves how twisted I am. Of course, you can’t have a show called How to Get Rich without talking about real estate. I think we are all familiar with the narrative that owning a home is the “American Dream” and that real estate is the biggest driver of wealth. The host of the show, Ramit Sehi (a financial expert) reevaluates real estate’s role in what he calls building “a rich life.”

Rather than subject you to 8 hours of a personal finance show, I am going to lay out some of his more interesting points about real estate. Similar to the renting vs. buying conversation, prospective buyers are hungry for a more intellectual conversation about what buying real estate in this country means and, of course, if they are interested in buying, exactly how to do it.

So skip the “I’m a top producer” posts and let’s build content around what people really want to hear.
