Episode 210 - The 2026 Real Estate Opportunity Explained

The real estate market is shifting and with it comes one of the most unique buying opportunities in years.

Drawing from years of experience and hundreds of millions in assets under management, he explains what's really happening beneath the surface. Dan dives into the two biggest drivers of real estate success: timing and location. He explains how the market cycle from the 2020–2021 peak to the current wave of distress has created discounted buying opportunities, and why many properties are now being sold below previous purchase prices. He also unpacks how the surge of new supply in 2023–2025 impacted rents and vacancies, and why the sharp slowdown in construction is setting the stage for future rent growth. With fewer new units coming online and continued population growth in key markets, conditions are aligning for the next phase of the cycle.
