What if we told you that real estate might just be the only investment where you don’t actually pay for it yourself?

Sounds too good to be true—but in this episode, Kevin and Steve break down why that bold claim isn’t only true, but why it’s the exact mindset shift most investors need.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:

• Why tenants, the bank, the government, and even the market all “chip in” to fund your investment.
• How to stop thinking of maintenance, management, and lost rent as expenses and start seeing them as investments.
• Why cash flow is actually the least important benefit when you’re building your portfolio.
• How reframing your language and mindset around real estate could be the difference between frustration and long-term success.

If you’ve ever looked at your property and thought, “This thing is costing me too much,” this episode will flip that thinking upside down and show you why, in reality, real estate costs you nothing.
