Listen "S&P 500 vs Real Estate (Most People Get This Wrong)"
Episode Synopsis
Ep.316Everyone says real estate is the safest investment on Earth.But what if it’s not?In this episode of More Knowledge, More Wealth, Gabriel Shahin, CFP®, exposes the dirty truth about real estate investing — the numbers no one shows you, the hidden costs most “gurus” ignore, and why so many investors lose money without realizing it.You’ll learn: • Why land is one of the few investments that costs you money every year • The real math behind a $500,000 rental property (and why “cash flow” often turns negative) • The overlooked expenses: property tax, insurance, vacancies, repairs, HOA, management fees, and more • How to calculate your true cash-on-cash return — and why the 4% rule should guide every real estate deal • When leverage helps… and when it becomes a liability • How appreciation, depreciation, and principal paydown really affect your long-term return • Why many investors confuse activity with profitability • The real reason renting is often cheaper than buying in 2025 • How the stock market outperforms “passive” real estate once you account for time, liquidity, and riskReal estate can still make sense — but not at any price, and not for everyone.If you’re buying property just because “everyone else is,” this video will show you the math that could save you six figures (and a lot of headaches). If it doesn’t cash flow, it’s not investing — it’s subsidizing someone else’s dream📅 Schedule a Free Financial Assessmenthttps://www.falconwealthplanning.com/...🎙️ Follow Gabriel Shahin, CFP®:Website – https://gabrielshahin.com/Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/falconoffin...LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/followgab...X (Twitter) – https://x.com/falconoffinance?s=21&t=...🔗 Follow Falcon Wealth Planning:Linktree – https://linktr.ee/falconwealthplanningInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/falconwealt...LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/falc...YouTube – @FalconWealthInc For business or podcast inquiries, please contact: Marketing@falconwp.com-----------------------------------Disclaimer: Advisory services are offered through Falcon Wealth Planning, an SEC registered investment adviser.
