April 2025 “Upside” Update: Making a BIG Change to My Portfolio (Cashing Out)
Wednesday, 2 April, 2025
Over the past month, I’ve decided to make a big move that will greatly affect my real estate portfolio. This was a decision I made after seeing severe weakness in the market and realizing it was time to put my money where my mouth is. For months, I’ve been talking about the “upside” era strategy of real estate investing—the theory that now is a great time to buy as real estate is primed to experience significant upsides in the future, making investors rich. I’m doubling down on this due to market volatility—and in today’s episode, I’m sharing exactly where I’m putting my money. I made a move that most investors would caution against, but I ran the numbers (many times) and am confident in what I decided to do. Part of my plan is to move money out of riskier assets with potentially lower returns and into assets that I’m confident will generate stronger returns. This is something EVERYONE (yes, even you) should be thinking about NOW to build long-term wealth in the future. I’ve got two places I’m planning on putting the money from making this move. One will allow me to capitalize on future real estate deals, the other will guarantee me a minimum of a 6.5% return—and that’s just the floor of the return. I’m putting the “upside” strategy into play now, and if you’re feeling the same way about the economy as I am, you should, too! In This Episode We Cover: The big move I made and why I’m cashing out of some investments to fuel others How I’m getting a guaranteed MINIMUM 6.5% return with this big investing move Rental properties I’m looking for right now that have the highest “upside” potential Three things every investor should do right now to ensure they capitalize on the “upside” era Key indicators that the stock market is significantly overvalued (and what I did with my stocks) And So Much More!
