Navigating Market Shifts: Nic DeAngelo and the Art of Real Estate Investing

Welcome to a brand-new episode of The Cashflow Project. Today, we are rejoined by the wildly successful Nic DeAngelo, CEO and founder of Saint Investment Group. Nic, who began his journey in the banking industry, eventually ventured into the captivating world of real estate, where he realized his true calling. From growing up in a family with a deep-rooted work ethic to witnessing the 2008 financial crisis, Nic's journey offers great insights into the role that resilience and sustained vision play in the road to success.

We'll discuss the importance of observing market conditions, the pros and cons of investing in hard assets, and the need to think long-term in real estate investing. With an impressive portfolio and a strategy-driven process, Nic and his team aim to navigate this dynamic landscape with clarity, vigilance, and adaptability.

And it's not complete without some predictions about the future, especially around inflation and the adjustments investors need to make to stay ahead. Nic shares his belief that real estate is a good investment over the next decade, given a landscape of 5-6% interest rates.

Expect some hearty discussion on time horizons in investing, understanding value, and forging profitable, flexible cash flow models. This episode is a wealth of knowledge and insights for both novice and veteran investors looking for strategies to fortify their financial future.

Stay tuned, folks. It's going to be quite a ride!
