    Why 2026 Is Set Up to Be a Great Time to Invest in Real Estate

    What if the best window to build real wealth isn’t when everyone feels confident—but when most doctors are sitting on the sidelines, waiting for clarity that never comes? Many doctors get stuck trading time for money, parking their savings in familiar places, and telling themselves they’ll invest “when things feel safer.” Meanwhile, rising costs, market cycles, and missed opportunities quietly compound, keeping them locked into the rat race longer than they planned. In this episode, Kenji and Leti break down why 2026 is shaping up to be a rare inflection point for real estate investors—and how doctors who understand the cycles, manage their mindset, and take intentional action can position themselves years ahead of the crowd. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER: • Why slowing markets, reduced competition, and shifting interest rates often create the best buying opportunities • How tax strategies like 100% bonus depreciation can accelerate wealth building when used intentionally • The mindset shift required to act strategically while others wait—and why real wealth is often built in quieter seasons If you want, I can also adapt this for Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, or a short newsletter blurb.
