Feb 15, 2025 | Are institutional investors really taking over the housing market? Not even close. Despite the media hype, they account for just 0.06% of residential mortgage transactions. So, what’s REALLY keeping millennials from buying homes?

In this raw and eye-opening discussion, me and Mike Grambow break down the biggest misconceptions about today’s real estate market—and why first-time homeownership is more out of reach than ever before.

🔥 Here’s what we uncover:
✔️ The myth of institutional buyers—why the media is misleading you.
✔️ First-time homebuyers are now 38 years old (up from 28 in 1991!)—what changed?
✔️ Millennials are delaying life milestones due to affordability, cultural shifts, and crushing student debt.
✔️ The rise of fix-and-flip investing—is it making homeownership even harder?
✔️ Why government policies are fueling inflation and making housing unaffordable.
✔️ How the fear of child abduction changed an entire generation and affected financial independence.

🎥 If you’ve ever wondered why buying a home feels impossible, THIS is the conversation you need to hear.
