My thoughts on the 2021 real estate market:
First, interest rates are at their historical all time lows, ever. Typically, this would bode REALLY well for a real estate investor like myself….
But, SECOND…that comes at a cost. Because interest rates have become so inexpensive, it’s driven up the price of real estate because – now – people can afford to spend just a little more than before, and there’s more demand to lock in a mortgage.
Third, speaking of demand – there’s a LOT of it. So much so, that it’s caused inventory to drop to its all time lowest level…also, in history.
That means, fourth – when you combine low interest rates, with low inventory, with high demand…you get a market that’s EXTREMELY difficult to find the type of deals that I’m looking to buy.
WHY I’M NOT BUYING REAL ESTATE:
For the last 10 years, I’ve invested nearly EVERYTHING I save into Real Estate, and for the longest time – that made up almost the ENTIRELY of my investment portfolio.
Even though it was VERY PROFITABLE…it’s NOT SMART to hold 90% of your net worth in real estate, in one city. It’s just too big of a risk that something COULD happen, without at least having SOMETHING ELSE to hedge that position. Something like this never really clicked when I was younger, because I was all about going after whatever made the most money…but, at a certain point, it becomes more important to PRESERVE your wealth, then CONTINUE growing it as fast as possible…and by diversifying AWAY from Real Estate, it’s given me a LOT more peace of mind that – no matter what happens – I’ll be good.
Next, another recent revelation that I’ve come to understand over the last year – is that value of my time. I’ve gotten to a point where I don’t have enough time in the day to get everything done. Even something like “hopping on a 30 minute call” has turned into a “I need o schedule this a few days in advance” because otherwise, everything else is booked up and I have to pull away from something else just to make the time. If I didn’t prioritize EVERYTHING this way, NOTHING would get done, and things would fall through the cracks…so, I now have a value for my time, and I ration it very precisely.
Because of that, I’m not able to spend the time I used to to be able to find the right deal, and manage the work myself.
For me, and – I think for MOST people – Real Estate is a PHENOMENAL TOOL for wealth CREATION. There’s no other investment that offers the opportunity to potentially DOUBLE your money, YEAR AFTER YEAR, through sourcing the right deals, fixing them up, and renting them out.
However, at a certain point – I need to take a step back, and realize that I’ve been TOO oriented around real estate, from a diversification standpoint, and it MAKES SENSE to take a more hands off, passive approach so that I have more time to focus on other endeavors.
My investments right now are all about lower risk, lower return, more diversification, and a safer allocation that allows it to continue to grow – but, at a slower, more consistent rate. It’s less stress, less work, less for me to think about, the more I can streamline my entire life – the better I can work on other things. .

Biden is planning on making laws to cap rent prices. So eventually people will no longer be able to make sky high rent prices.

Graham, it would be easier for users to subscribe to your second channel, if you put a link in the description
“What’s up Graham, it’s guys here…”. Thought it was funny. Good video.
Why would you buy rental properties when the government will tell you not to collect rent anymore, but you still have to pay property tax.
Hard to collect rent? Hard to find borrowers with jobs? Extreme real estate taxes? High maintenance costs? Now is not the time to buy a home.
A ridiculous amount of commercials. I’m out.
Real Estate Real Estate Real Estate.
Hey did campaigns with Irvine Company so I know. I worked with developers in 2005 and we know what happened in 2008. Got the ball rolling there as far as it being developed.
Mortgage forbearance extended to September of 2021. That will alter the course a bit. Superb video Graham!. You always keep it informative. 🙂
So that’s why you talk so fast
nice jacket
The super deer interspecifically head because reduction quickly march near a substantial open. accurate, untidy peer-to-peer
“Whats up graham it guys here “- brilliant way to get us all the comment and boost algorithm. Well played
Let me save you 11 minutes. Because his youtube channel makes more than real estate with much less effort and expenses. Thus, his priorities has shifted – where money is. There you’ve got your answer. You’re welcome.
You are young and sharp…aggressive…congratulations
But you need to start fixing your image ..you look lack of sleep and need a good facial massage recharge . Make you like millions bucks as you do had
So basically pay someone less than what their asset is worth. I guess that’s the American way.
When you spread out your “risk” what you end up doing is guaranteeing you will feel pain in the next down turn, since at least some of your portfolio is exposed to the failures in the market. If you are invested in truly valuable and profitable enterprises, you will succeed. period. full stop.
If your invested in trash, even diversified trash, you will lose in the long run.
He said it the other way around to get more comments nice gram
Gram Ik u did the intro to get more comments I’m on to u
Actually, the fastest money I ever made was holding TSLA in 2019 and 2020.
How do you kick people out your house tho
Whats up graham, its guys here?
-graham stephen
You bugging me to smash the like button makes it so i cant morally ignore your request lol
Whats up Graham its guys hear 🤣🤣, l love that intro
I’ll save you a seemingly lifetime of babbling . Real estate is overpriced now due to low inventory.
We’ll all be too poor to buy homes with how bad the government is tanking our currency and are hell bent on redistribution of wealth. On the bright side we’ll all be equal… equally poor but equal. Yay progress!!!
Mr Wonderfull got to you
Graham: . . . You’re saying I can make how much money, just increasing my ads on videos?
Youtube: $$$$$$
Graham: let’s make this 10 min video 20 minutes long with ads! 🤑
I feel like this isn’t a good time for investors.
The stock market is literally at all time highs. LOL
Dude, you got a “i dont work here” sign right next to you… thats clearly a lie. You seem like a 10/10 workaholic. Most 20 year olds spend their nights trying to netflix and chill not… husslin like you did. I guess everyone places value in different things. I certainly dont want to be broke, but life has some pretty rich experiences you cant buy.
I’m not liking your video before you’ve said anything.
The only reason I got a house in September and am not still living in my parents’ basement was because my uncle and his girlfriend moved in together and he wanted to sell his house. He gave me a good deal on it and I was able to get a gift of equity because of that & him being my uncle… Meaning I didn’t need a down payment because I was buying the house for about $20,000 less than market value. And I got the awesome interest rate.
My parents cosigned just because I don’t have enough credit history. But they can get off of it once I have 20% equity… Which honestly I’ve probably got considering the upgrades I’ve done. I just need to get the money to pay for an appraisal. The mortgage company told me they’ll cover a refinance to get them off my mortgage as long as I do it within 5 years. (I know I need to do it soon or I’m not gonna get a good interest rate)
When you give up on the lady that brought you to the ball.
Too bad LA investing was doomed.
you are the best
The bigger issue is owning so much real estate in California. I don’t trust that state not to violate the constitution and confiscate wealth to fuel their failed state.
He’s giving up on real estate because he has lost his touch. He is paying $1.5 million for a house in Vegas that is sure to tank.
Exactly ! He goes back and forth with the crash. Just another kid that should just keep his option to himself.
Nice 🔥
The simplest advice I can take ATM is to keep investing, but invest smartly. I’ve been going a bit more aggressive for a few months now and my 1 year old portfolio has smashed $450k in value from an initial allocation of $180k. Learn to diversify and DIY or get a professional help. However investing has no one way to it
this is what I am talking about. how did you manage this make all that swiftly?
@Energy god Nothing out of the ordinary. I would say i was lucky to have the guidance of a successful and highly knowledgeable wealth advisor – (Freda Lynn Johnson) That was a smart move since my portfolio has grown at a tremendous pace. unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along. i even had to roll most of it over to Freda’s strategies. my account just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing
@Shondrella Avery I am going to follow your steps,so I looked up Ms Freda in google and researched her accreditation with FINRA. She seem very proficient and pretty genuine to me. I will contact her through her webpage and I expect to hear what she has to say about my situation.
How did you get the initial 180k saved up?
Graham you hiring? I’m I finance major in need of a internship.
Graham wastes his own potential fooling with all the contracters , he could be doing most of the work him self learning skill on the job and putting on muscle to his dwarf frame
Graham, when we first discover your videos, we find interesting contents. But over time your videos get quite boring and annoying. It is annoying to have to wait 11 minutes to hear and answer that can be resumed in seconds. We have to wait 1 minute for the time you make your introduction and remind us to smash the like button. I wish you could start the video by giving the answer followed by the explications.
because you realise that communist/socialism just got elected?
in this episode we have learnt that Graham, after cutting down on Starbucks, is now cutting down on his editor.
Real reason, he knows David Dobrik and thats all you need to make it now
MAKE SHORTER VIDEOS
YOU NEVER GOT TO THE POINT BLAH BLAH
If you look at the faces Graham makes on his thumbnails you’d think that he is spiralling towards bankruptcy. Somehow I think that’s not the case, lol.
Basically, he’s retiring. Enjoy it buddy!
Probably because he knows is smarter to just buy Bitcoin which is a new asset in its adoption phase as compared to real estate which is at all time high.
stop dont say phoenix they’re mine! lol
weed selling albanian click bait guy
He doesn’t want to say it, but here it is- real estate is a crappy investment right now.
I smashed the dislike button does that still count?
YES
@Graham Stephan win-win%!
So. Diversify
i love your honesty
$tsla 😎
He stopped buying real estate for several reasons. One he gets enough cash flow from what he has already. Two he is doing a bunch of other things and real estate takes a fair amount of time to find deals. It’s something you do when you have time on your hands. Three I think real estate has become boring to him. It looks like he sticks with something for a while until he has mastered it but once he mastered it he is bored and wants to move on. Even if I had a bunch of other things going on I can make time to buy real estate. There is things like property management companies. He just doesn’t want to make time for real estate because it bores him now
Why would anyone buy real estate during Covid times. The house prices are insane.
The journey is very individual and your evolution has brought you to this point now. I too started in real estate and still have some interest there. But transitioning from a full time job being a full time landlord is not that different. It’s still a job. But 2020 taught me the diversification lesson too. Had to lay off a few managers and refinance to stay in the black. The plus side was that not only did I have real property but REITs and mREITs. And many have performed well even through the lockdowns giving fair distributions. If stocks are your thing, maybe look into those or some ETFs that automatically diversify your portfolio. Since security is important in your portfolio, look into DLR, CONE or AMT for exposure to real estate outside of residential.

You can’t take his advice. He contradicts everything

This is so adorable. He’s following Kevin’s advice
Nice copying humble trader

Well congrats on your new chapter! Thank you for letting us be apart of world continue sharing ❤
He started investing in Fake Estate that’s why
It’s safe to say I merited the huge success I achieved these past weeks from trading bitcoin after a woeful adventure trading stocks in 2020
Investing in bitcoin now should be at the top of every wise individuals list
@Thompson Smith You are right the market is profiting a lot if you have good guidance
I work with an experienced, trusted and sincere expert broker by name Mrs Catherine Sawyer who manages my capital and return profits
Wow you really know expert Mrs Catherine Sawyer? I’m a living testimony of expert Mrs Catherine, She has been trading for me for months now.
@Stanley Martins My first investment with Mrs Catherine gave me profit over $25,000 and ever since then I trade with her weekly investment plan and it has been a good move
Why does every real estate investment training video have 1000 ads….
Cough cough YouTube premium
Not even farmland like Bezos and Gates?
The intro 🤣
I’ll save you all 11 minutes..it’s not like he fully stopped he’s just diversifying and investing in other endeavors like 3 mill in stocks. He is really enjoying it.
dealing with contractors is a nightmare
Is there anyway we can invest in the company Yotta Savings?
Do you do all of your own repairs? How do you avoid being scammed by construction?
What’s the point of buying real estate when the world economic forum says in 2030 “you’ll own nothing, and be happy”
I find it refreshing that you don’t lie about what motivates you: the pursuit of the dollar; and the rest is the means to the end.
your videos are amazing but you talk so fast
Did Kevin O’Leary convince you into diversifying?
For the algorithm
what’s up graham it’s guys here
I wouldn’t do real estate. the headache of finding a good tenant alone isn’t worth it. Its fine I don’t mind slower more boring growth.
What’s up Graham it’s guys here
Rental properties can be very profitable but are a pain in the butt type of investment. Apartment REITs offer less direct control and possibly (but not necessarily) less profit but as Graham alluded to, time also is worth something.
What are tesla call options. Looked it up and have no idea what it’s trying to tell me
He over leveraged, legislative bodies and governors have ruled that he can no longer collect rent or evict deadbeats so he is giving up and moving in with his mom and dad.
When you said you are known as the real estate guy I thought you were going to say that you are known as the click bait guy.
Now he is the Bitcoin guy
Considering the recent changes coming from the Biden administration (particularly the minimum wage change), I think that this is exactly the time to purchase, even though the market seems to be inflated. I would say it’s riskier, because the minimum wage change could cause an economic collapse and higher unemployment, but I don’t think it will, I think it will cause inflation (including the price of a home), so you can get a home right now at $500k and in five years it will likely be closer to $750k because of the upward cascade and increase in prices/wages across all segments and it will be at 2.8% interest.
I think that we’re on the verge of the biggest inflationary period in 40 years (since the late 70s/early 80s). If I’m right, then you should take advantage of it and get homes with historically low interest rates at what will be deflated values in five years.
The only thing you need is to claim Jesus as the son of God and your savior and repent as time is up.
not exactly click bait but kinda
