1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Real estate developer and author Thomas Guss discusses his book, Why Real Estate Does Not Appreciate and Why You Need More of It, with host Jason. Guss explains that historical data spanning centuries demonstrates that real estate fundamentally acts as a wealth preservation tool rather than a short-term growth asset, typically tracking the long-term rate of inflation. Unlike gold or government bonds, income properties offer the dual advantage of maintaining purchasing power while simultaneously generating a reliable, continuous stream of income. The conversation also highlights the unique power of the American 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, which allows investors to safely utilize leverage to build generational wealth. Ultimately, Guss advises investors to maintain a long-term perspective, purchase quality assets, and embrace the multi-dimensional benefits of real estate to achieve financial peace of mind. &amp;nbsp; Key Takeaways: 0:00 Whistleblower 7:09 Appreciation vs. inflation 11:02 Get your FREE account today at https://PropertyTracker.com/ 12:33 Defining &quot;long-term&quot; 14:35 Mamdani and New York 16:40 Real estate vs. other asset classes 24:07 The Iceberg 26:38 The unique American Market 28:42 Leverage 35:51 Its NOT for the short term 40:48 Join our community https://empoweredinvestorpro.com &amp;nbsp; _______________________________________________________________ https://empoweredinvestorpro.com Contact our Investment Counselors today!&amp;nbsp;https://empoweredinvestor.com/ Get your FREE account today at&amp;nbsp;https://PropertyTracker.com/ Join our FREE Masterclass every second Wednesday of the month&amp;nbsp;https://EmpoweredInvestor.com/Wednesday Check out our properties at&amp;nbsp;https://EmpoweredInvestor.com&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;https://empoweredinvestormarketplace.com/app/search Check out Jason Ai&amp;nbsp;EmpoweredInvestor.com/Ai _______________________________________________________________ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM &amp;amp; LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit:&amp;nbsp;https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: &amp;nbsp;Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else:&amp;nbsp;http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes &amp;amp; Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course:&amp;nbsp;https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com Creating Wealth Real Estate Investing with Jason Hartman http://www.jasonhartman.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/43732489/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/208820119
