Dustin and Adam tackle a question many passive investors face right now: is the market too high to invest? With concerns about AI investment bubbles, potential recessions, and stock market volatility dominating headlines, it’s easy to fall into analysis paralysis. In this episode, they make the case for why focusing on cash-flowing real estate investments provides a fundamentally different risk profile than timing the equity markets.

The conversation explores why some wealthy investors continue rebalancing toward stocks despite valuations, and contrasts this with the benefits of income-generating assets that provide cash flow, tax advantages, and debt pay-down regardless of economic conditions.

Dustin and Adam discuss their recent deal activity, what they’re seeing in the current market, and why supply-demand imbalances create opportunities even during periods of general uncertainty. They also address the misaligned incentives many traditional financial advisors face when clients consider moving capital into alternative investments.
