Real estate investing is as old as time itself. You buy a place, rent it out, and pocket the profit after expenses. It's been a solid way to make money.

But in 2026 we're not sure we agree. In this week's episode Bob and Nelson tackle the topic. Nelson passes on his personal experience (including why he sold his physical properties in 2022), and we weigh on a way to get the same kind of exposure with a fraction of the work.

Another week, another guest!

Mark Seed joins Bob and Nelson on the pod again. This time the subject is finfluencers, folks who might have good intentions but often operate in a grey area outside of regulator control.

We debate whether finfluencers are a good or bad thing for DYI investors, how to tell if someone is worth listening to, and much more.

This week Bob and Nelson welcome another excellent guest to the pod. Anthony is the Newcomer Investor on X (@newcomerinvest), who absolutely loves the game of business.

After starting out as primarily a dividend growth investor, Anthony has evolved into primarily a growth investor -- but don't worry dividend lovers. He still owns a bunch of dividend stocks.

We talk about Brookfield, Thomson Reuters, and Franco Nevada, (plus more!) while Anthony also discusses things like how his research process has evolved and why he mixes individual stocks and ETFs.

Another great episode. You guys are going to enjoy this one.
