    Venezuela Crisis Reveals the BEST Real Estate Play for 2026

    🚨 Venezuela, Energy Independence & The Real Estate Shift NO ONE Sees Coming Trump just captured Venezuela’s president in a 2-hour operation—and the real estate implications are MASSIVE. While everyone focuses on oil, smart investors are connecting the dots to what this means for housing, inflation, and where to deploy capital in 2026. In this episode, we break down the geopolitical chess game and why manufactured housing is the clear winner: ✅ Venezuela takeover: What 20% of world’s oil reserves means for inflation & real estate ✅ Energy independence play: How this cripples China & Russia (our real competitors) ✅ Multifamily bloodbath: Phoenix assets down 40%, La Jolla offering 3 months FREE rent ✅ The mobile home park advantage: 3% turnover vs 50%, half the cost, ZERO new supply ✅ Billionaire tax strategy: How to use depreciation to offset passive income (we break down the math) ✅ Hard assets: Silver up 175% vs USD down -7% in 2025—why cash is NOT king KEY TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - 2026 Kickoff: What’s Coming 2:15 - Venezuela Capture: The Real Story 12:40 - Geopolitical Strategy (China, Russia, Energy) 23:45 - Why Multifamily is Underwater 35:20 - Mobile Home Parks: The Tortoise Passing The Rabbit 48:15 - Cost Segregation & Depreciation Mastery 58:40 - Cap Rates: 4% Apartments vs 5% MHP (With Way More Upside) 1:05:30 - Debt, Inflation & The Fiat Currency Endgame While geopolitical chaos creates uncertainty, manufactured housing offers structural stability, inflation protection, and the best risk-adjusted returns in real estate. Period. We’re not speculating on rent growth in oversupplied markets. We’re executing on supply-constrained affordable housing with 2-4 years of visible runway.
