Creating Wealth Real Estate Investing with Jason Hartman
Today Jason interviews executive coach Britt Lefkoe, as they explore how individuals can overcome internal obstacles by shifting from a scarcity mindset to one of infinite possibility.

Lefkoe explains that our brains are often governed by the amygdala, which triggers fear-based responses rooted in childhood patterns, leading us to prioritize safety over progress. To combat this, she suggests reframing fear as...

The conversation shifts to a "confession" regarding interest rates, with both experts admitting they were wrong to predict immediate cuts due to persistent inflationary pressures and energy costs. They further analyze...

They also discuss the irony of a well-known market bear purchasing a home despite predicting a significant price crash.

info_outlineJason does a commentary on a video by Kevin O’Leary, who warns of a catastrophic housing crisis driven by a severe supply shortage rather than bad loans. The discussion highlights how median home prices have become disconnected from household incomes, largely due to fluctuating interest rates and the rise of institutional investors buying single-family homes. While the situation creates significant barriers for first-time buyers, the speaker argues that it simultaneously presents a massive opportunity for direct income property investors. Using the Hartman Risk Evaluator, the Jason explains that high construction costs make entry-level housing difficult to build, suggesting that the inventory squeeze is unlikely to resolve soon. Ultimately, Jason frames this economic shift as a transition toward a renter society, where those who own physical assets can build wealth through inflation-induced debt destruction.
