In this Ask Me Anything episode of the Paul Morris Podcast, Paul Mark Morris explains how homeowners can rent out their primary home for up to 14 days per year with zero federal income tax on the rent under Section 280A (“Augusta Rule”), and how going to 15 days removes the exclusion and changes the strategy. He shares cautions about local short-term rental rules, HOAs, insurance, and documentation, including a business-owner approach where a company may deduct reasonable rent for legitimate meetings held at the home. Morris also breaks down the “100% write-off” via cost segregation and bonus depreciation, what income it can offset, passive-loss limits, and recapture and state conformity issues. He then answers investor questions on LLC pros/cons and costs, whether to buy now or wait for rates, real estate’s outlook for 2026, investing out of state, and ADU vs. another property. *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network* Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Tax Free Side Hustle 00:00:53 Market Snapshot Today 00:01:12 Important Disclaimer 00:03:10 14 Day Rental Rule 00:06:05 Business Meeting Rent 00:08:05 Bonus Depreciation 100% 00:12:28 LLC Pros and Cons 00:17:07 Buy Now or Wait 00:19:09 Real Estate in 2026 00:22:59 Where to Invest 00:24:32 ADU Versus Rental 00:26:54 Final Disclaimer Wrap Learn more about your ad choices.

Paul Morris and Josh Spitzen interview real estate entrepreneur Daryl Owen, who describes being inspired at 14 to buy investment property, then purchasing his first rental at 19 while working at Papa John’s, struggling to rent it, and selling it two years later for a modest gain that pushed him into getting his real estate license. He shares lessons from buying an expensive personal home before 2008, losing money, and rebuilding by living below his means, then getting hooked on flipping after a first profitable deal and doing hundreds more. Daryl discusses mistakes (including permit issues), choosing between selling “home runs” and holding, using strategies like 1031 exchanges and cost segregation, and his current portfolio (~$10M holdings, ~$4.2K/month net cash flow). He emphasizes sourcing off-market deals via high-volume outreach, deciding quickly, and advising investors to stop waiting for perfection, buy decent deals, and hold long term, with future focus on multifamily value-add and ADUs. *Daryl Owen* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/darylrowen/ Website: https://www.zillow.com/profile/Daryl%20Owen *Josh Spitzen* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spitzenjosh/ Website: https://forwardone.com/agents/josh-spitzen/ *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network* Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Podcast Welcome 00:00:39 Real Estate Spark 00:01:58 First Rental Lessons 00:04:17 Get In The Game 00:05:28 Ego And Lifestyle Trap 00:06:18 Rebuilding After 2008 00:08:02 First Flip Breakthrough 00:09:48 Scaling Holds And Mistakes 00:11:31 Big Exits And Regrets 00:15:08 Deal Sourcing Playbook 00:17:43 Buy Now Hold Forever 00:19:14 Fourplex Deal Regrets 00:20:31 Renovation And Big Offer 00:22:01 Healthy Profit And 1031 00:23:16 Value Add Cap Rate Math 00:25:15 Rebuilding After Divorce 00:26:35 Multifamily And ADU Strategy 00:29:51 Income To Assets Mindset 00:31:35 Entry Level Rental Moat 00:36:20 Buy Buckets And Flips 00:37:38 Deal Sourcing With Team 00:38:53 Get In The Game Advice 00:39:25 Top Of The List Rules 00:40:57 Long Beach 24 Unit Close 00:41:42 Final Thanks And Wrap Learn more about your ad choices.

Paul Mark Morris argues the housing market is not heading for a 2026 crash, pointing to existing home sales rising 3.2% in May to a 4.17M annual pace (highest since December), with gains across most regions and first-time buyers at 35%, while prices keep climbing due to tight supply (about 4.5 months) and improved affordability (index 105.6). He explains mortgage rates remain stable around 6.5% despite expectations the Fed won’t cut in July, and highlights a surprising divergence: despite US-Iran strikes near the Strait of Hormuz, oil and gas prices are falling, easing inflation pressure. He also breaks down the proposed 21st Century Road to Housing Act, which would cap large institutional investors (350+ homes) from buying more single-family homes, potentially reducing competition for small investors, and outlines regional shifts with Sun Belt cooling and Midwest/Northeast strengthening. *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network* Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 War Headlines Divergence 00:00:48 Show Intro Disclaimers 00:01:42 No 2026 Housing Crash 00:02:20 Sales Demand Rebound 00:04:49 Prices Supply Affordability 00:10:30 Mortgage Rates Reality 00:12:43 Fed Cuts And Mortgages 00:14:43 War Oil Gas Twist 00:18:38 Investor Cap Housing Bill 00:23:54 Hottest Coldest Markets 00:29:03 Luxury Market Signal 00:32:01 Three Moves Next 90 00:35:06 Wrap Up/Disclaimer Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this State of the Market episode, I break down why the housing crash so many people are waiting for still is not showing up in the data. Existing home sales just hit a five-month high, prices are still rising year over year, inventory remains far from crash territory, and first-time buyers are back in the market. I also walk through the bigger forces shaping real estate right now: mortgage rates, inflation, gas prices, the Fed, the war’s impact on oil, and why global headlines can quietly affect your monthly payment. But the biggest lesson is that national data only gets you so far. Your real edge as a buyer or investor comes from knowing your local market, your submarket, and even your street better than anyone else. I talk about why waiting for the perfect moment can cost you, why you should underwrite deals at today’s rates instead of betting on a refinance, and how buyers may still have a window to negotiate before the crowd comes back in. If you want to understand what is actually happening in the market without the hype, this episode is for you. *Connect with Paul*Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorrisYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris  *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network*Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcastsMoney News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 State of the Market Intro 00:00:47 Crash in 2026 No 00:00:58 Sales Surge Despite Chaos 00:01:53 Inventory and Supply Explained 00:02:56 First Time Buyers Return 00:04:28 Forecasts and Local Reality 00:05:52 Hot and Cold Metro Swings 00:08:19 Micro Markets Matter Most 00:10:35 Is Now a Good Time 00:11:12 Buyer Leverage and Waiting Cost 00:13:10 Local Edge and ADUs 00:15:19 Mortgage Rates in 2026 00:16:12 Oil to Rates Chain 00:18:39 Fed Shift and Warsh 00:21:34 War Peace Gas and Action Plan Learn more about your ad choices.

Paul Mark Morris explains a major shift away from SaaS as agentic AI becomes accessible to non-programmers, citing his own use of OpenClaw to run task-completing AI agents and the implication that tools like CRMs can be built quickly without traditional development teams. He connects this disruption to falling SaaS valuations, highlighting Salesforce’s drop from $337B to $179B by March 2026 despite rising revenue, and argues markets are pricing in a broken seat-based SaaS model. Morris describes a rotation toward hard assets, prompted by a conversation with nine-figure entrepreneur Mike Lazarow (who sold a company to Salesforce for $785M), and outlines three real estate plays: data centers (via REITs like Equinix and Digital Realty), multifamily amid shrinking supply and a 2026 debt-maturity-driven distress window, and secondary-market residential growth driven by AI-enabled migration.

Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. Today I sit down with entrepreneur and investor Michael Lazerow to break down what it really takes to build companies that scale—from the early days of the internet to billion-dollar exits and the rise of AI. Michael shares the hard lessons behind launching golf.com, building and selling Buddy Media to Salesforce, and why timing, demand, and storytelling matter more than technology alone. If you’re building a business, investing in the future, or trying to understand where AI and entrepreneurship are headed next, this conversation is packed with practical insights you can use right now. *Michael Lazerow* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lazerow/ Website: https://kassandmike.com/ *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network* Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Meet Mike and Cass 00:01:09 Marriage and the Book 00:03:52 Entrepreneurship Origins 00:05:51 Golfcom Domain Deal 00:07:48 Golfcom to Buddy Media 00:11:32 Timing and Tech Waves 00:14:39 Real Estate and Demand 00:22:09 Liquid Death and Go Gauge 00:38:17 Moats And Big Markets 00:39:47 Best Likely Vs Worst Likely 00:41:20 Demand Gen As Defense 00:43:53 Storytelling Wins Attention 00:46:39 Real Estate Returns Debate 00:54:14 Content Strategy For Realtors 01:05:26 Agentic AI And Local Brains 01:11:44 Fire Round And Farewell Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I break down the exact criteria professional investors use to evaluate markets and share the top three U.S. cities that stand out heading into 2026. We’ll walk through the real data—migration trends, affordability, job growth, cap rates, and regulations—and why places like Knoxville, Tulsa, and Savannah are attracting attention from investors. But more importantly, I explain why the city itself is never the whole story. The real opportunity comes from finding the right deal, understanding your local market, and preparing for the wave of distressed properties that could emerge as billions in debt comes due in 2026. If you’ve been wondering where to invest next, this episode will help you think like a professional investor and make smarter decisions in the year ahead. *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcast Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network* Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Show Premise And Question 00:00:50 Investor Criteria Overview 00:02:13 Top Cities Revealed 00:02:20 How Migration Data Works 00:02:54 Knoxville Market Breakdown 00:04:06 Knoxville Cap Rates Math 00:04:35 Tulsa Starter Market 00:04:56 Tulsa Rental Demand Signal 00:05:28 Savannah Coastal Diversification 00:06:02 Savannah Prices And Rents 00:06:32 Recap The Three Picks 00:06:46 Why LA Still Feels Full 00:08:19 Neighborhoods Beat Averages 00:09:46 LA On The Five Factors 00:13:36 Deal Focus And 2026 Debt Wall Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I break down the real state of the market—from global conflict and rising oil prices to interest rates, stocks, and housing—and explain what all of it actually means for investors right now. There’s a lot of noise out there, but I walk you through the data I’m watching and why uncertainty doesn’t always mean disaster. Most importantly, I share why I believe the next 18 to 24 months could present one of the most significant buying windows we’ve seen in years, driven by what’s known as the “debt wall”—a wave of loans coming due that could force many property owners to sell. I also highlight the sectors I’m watching closely, the ones I’m avoiding, and how disciplined investors can position themselves to take advantage of what may be a rare opportunity cycle. *Connect with Paul*Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorrisYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network*Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcastsMoney News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Market State Intro 00:00:48 War Changes Everything 00:01:23 Operation Epic Fury Facts 00:02:12 Strait of Hormuz Shock 00:03:45 Gas Prices Hit Home 00:05:29 Fed Meeting Breakdown 00:07:12 Mortgage Rates Reverse 00:08:21 Stocks After War Start 00:09:24 Winners and Losers 00:09:51 Dollar and Gold Diverge 00:12:35 Real Estate Opportunity 00:13:00 Housing Spring Complicated 00:14:25 The Debt Wall Explained 00:17:28 Sectors to Buy and Avoid 00:19:39 Big Picture Summary Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I sit down with Clare Baukham to explore a fascinating and often misunderstood investment category: art. Clare shares her unconventional journey, from trading options and working as a financial advisor to launching an art investment platform, and explains how high net worth investors are using art as a diversification strategy alongside traditional assets like stocks and real estate. We talk about how art funds work, how investors can buy shares of major pieces, and why some collectors believe art can provide alpha that is not correlated with the public markets. Clare also breaks down how experts identify emerging artists, how portfolios of artwork are built, and what it takes to spot value in a market driven by culture, scarcity, and expertise. If you have ever wondered whether art can truly function as an investment, and how sophisticated investors approach it, this conversation offers a look inside a world most people never see. *Clare Baukham* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clarebaukham/ Website: https://www.clearwealthgroup.com/ *Connect with Paul*Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorrisYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network*Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcastsMoney News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Art Investing Intro 00:00:36 Claire’s Unusual Path 00:01:58 Finance Career Breakthrough 00:03:05 Bel Air Moment Sparks Fund 00:04:43 Billionaire Blueprint PPP 00:05:45 Art Fund vs Real Estate 00:11:10 Portfolio Strategy Alpha 00:17:30 Shares Structure Liquidity 00:34:26 Beating the Market Myth 00:35:24 Real Estate Underwriting Edge 00:36:45 Back of Napkin Returns 00:37:50 Specialized Teams Matter 00:40:31 Art Fund Allocation Strategy 00:42:31 Returns Risk and Exit Plans 00:43:38 Minimums Portfolio and Fees 00:58:44 Fire Round Finale Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I walk you through a real $850,000 duplex I analyzed this week and break down exactly how I underwrite deals in today’s market. At a 5 cap with mortgage rates around 6%, most investors would immediately pass. But when you look closer at below-market rents, long-term leverage, and the ability to add two ADUs, the numbers start telling a different story. I’ll show you how cap rates and interest rates actually interact, when leverage helps you and when it hurts you, and why I’m willing to consider a deal that isn’t a “screaming steal.” This is a transparent look at how I evaluate risk, think conservatively about debt, and search for built-in upside in expensive markets like Los Angeles. If you want to understand how to analyze real estate beyond the hype and make disciplined, long-term decisions, this episode is for you. *Connect with Paul*Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorrisYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network*Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcastsMoney News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps00:00 Disclaimer and Welcome 00:13 The Duplex Deal Setup 00:43 What a Five Cap Means 01:46 Cap Rates in LA Reality 02:07 5 Cap vs 6 Percent Debt 03:10 When Leverage Helps Returns 04:58 How Higher Rates Kill Yield 05:47 Why Consider This Duplex 06:25 Upside One Below Market Rents 06:44 Rent Control and Rent Bumps 07:46 Upside Two Build Two ADUs 08:37 ADU Math Doubling Income 10:19 Financing Strategy 30 Year Safety 11:52 Underwriting Rules and Upside Review 13:05 Buy and Hold vs Fund Approach 14:02 Wrap Up and Viewer Questions Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I break down what’s actually happening in the market right now — strong jobs data, slightly friendlier mortgage rates, and luxury properties pushing toward nine-figure price tags. I walk you through the four or five biggest finance headlines of the week and explain, in plain English, what they mean for real estate investors at every level. We also unpack interest rates as they stand today, including the difference between conforming and non-conforming loans and why that distinction matters more than most people realize. If you’re trying to make smart, disciplined decisions in 2026, this is the clarity you need.

Welcome back to The Paul Morris Podcast, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I sit down with Mikey Taylor to talk about what happens after the spotlight fades — and why planning for the end while you’re still at the peak changes everything. We get into grit versus talent, turning income into assets, using leverage intelligently, and why real wealth is about optionality, not ego. Mikey shares how he transitioned from professional skateboarding to building and exiting a major brand, and now running a private equity real estate platform — all by thinking long term. If you’re building something today, this conversation will challenge you to think beyond the next win and start designing your second act. *Mikey Taylor*Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/mikeytaylorInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikeytaylor/ *Connect with Paul*Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorrisYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@paulmorrispodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris *Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network*Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcastsMoney News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps00:00:00 Meet Mikey Taylor: From X Games Favorite to Life Lessons 00:00:51 Starting at 12: Obsession, Coordination, and Earning Every Trick 00:02:48 Grit vs. Natural Talent: Why Some Gifted Kids Stall Out 00:04:07 Skateboarding Paychecks & the Reality of Post-Career Work 00:05:08 Skater Mindset in Business: Seeing What Others Miss + Marketing Genius 00:11:21 Sponsorship Money Is Fragile: Turning Income Into Assets 00:15:12 Profit First & Pay Yourself First: Building Margin (and Avoiding Tax Pain) 00:22:43 St. Archer Story: Finding the Blue Ocean and Selling to MillerCoors 00:34:18 Risk vs. Reward: Why Real Estate Feels Safer Than Operating Businesses 00:36:41 Leverage Debate: Dave Ramsey, Good Debt vs. Bad Debt 00:37:58 How Leverage Actually Works: Cushions, Rate Risk & Tenants Paying the Note 00:41:07 Is Your Home an Asset?

We unpack why inflammation may sit at the root of many chronic diseases, why modern medicine often reacts after symptoms show up, and what real prevention actually looks like. Dr. Jonas and I dive into metabolic health, fasting, mitochondrial function, weight loss strategies, cryotherapy, red light therapy, supplements, and how to think critically about both pharmaceuticals and the supplement industry.

Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I break down the real story behind Wall Street and institutional investors buying single-family homes—and why the truth is more nuanced than the headlines suggest. Nationally, the numbers are smaller than most people think, but in certain Sunbelt cities, high investor concentration is quietly reshaping affordability and access to homeownership. We’ll talk data, market mechanics, and where free markets work—and where smart guardrails may actually protect the American dream. *Connect with Paul* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulmarkmorris/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@itspaulmarkmorris YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@radicalwealthplan Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paulmarkmorris Presented by Entrepreneur Media & Money News Network Entrepreneur Media: https://www.entrepreneur.com/podcasts Money News Network: https://www.moneynewsnetwork.com Timestamps 00:00:00 Introduction and Milestone Celebration 00:00:21 Episode Overview: Institutional Homeowners 00:00:54 Understanding REITs 00:01:27 Private Equity Firms Explained 00:02:18 Scale of Institutional Ownership 00:04:51 Impact on the American Dream 00:05:25 Regional Disparities in Ownership 00:06:07 Reasons for Sunbelt Focus 00:07:03 Bulk Buying and Its Implications 00:07:44 Is Institutional Ownership a Real Problem? 00:09:00 Political and Regulatory Considerations 00:11:29 Foreign Investment in US Real Estate 00:12:38 Extent of Foreign Ownership 00:13:57 Concerns and Conspiracy Theories 00:14:47 Conclusion and Call for Feedback Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media.

Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. Today, we're talking about an exciting and potentially lucrative area of real estate—short-term rentals. I had the pleasure of sitting down with Josh Rudin and Patryck Swietek, two impressive young investors who have built a thriving business in the short-term rental space. They didn’t just dip their toes in—they went all in, from buying and managing properties to scaling up by acquiring an entire property management company. Josh started flipping houses at just 19 years old, learning the ropes of real estate investment firsthand. Patryck, on the other hand, comes from a high-tech entrepreneurial background and brought his business expertise into the world of short-term rentals. Together, they’ve built a rapidly growing business, managing dozens of properties and helping others succeed in this space. In this episode, we cover what it really takes to be successful in short-term rentals, from choosing the right market and property type to standing out in an increasingly competitive field. They share the hard lessons they learned from buying a business, the strategies they use to maximize profitability, and why regulations are actually a good thing when choosing where to invest. Whether you’re looking to get started with your first rental or scale an existing portfolio, there’s a lot to take away from this conversation. If you’ve ever considered short-term rentals as a path to wealth, or if you just want to hear a great story about two entrepreneurs taking big risks and making them pay off, you won’t want to miss this one.

Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In today’s episode, I sit down with Remoun Said, a real estate investor and agent who has mastered the ability to create value in real estate. From transforming single-family homes into multi-unit cash-flowing properties to leveraging California’s ADU laws, his approach is both strategic and highly effective. What makes Remoun’s story so compelling is that he didn’t come from wealth—he built his success through determination, smart decision-making, and a relentless work ethic. Having immigrated to the U.S. as a child, he saw firsthand the sacrifices his father made for a better future, and that experience shaped the way he approaches business and investing today. Now, he’s built a portfolio by focusing on value-add opportunities, staying local, and using zoning regulations to his advantage. We go into detail on some of the biggest challenges and opportunities in real estate investing. Remoun shares how his first deal went horribly wrong, leading to foreclosure, and what he learned from that experience that allowed him to come back stronger. He explains his Buy Box strategy and why having clear investment criteria helps avoid costly mistakes. We also take a close look at how he turns small properties into highly profitable rental units through ADUs and zoning adjustments. If you’ve ever wondered how to legally and efficiently maximize the potential of a property, this part of the conversation will be invaluable. One of the most important topics we cover is why Remoun prefers long-term wealth-building over house flipping. He breaks down why flipping can feel like two steps forward and one step back, and how owning income-generating properties provides much greater financial stability. We also discuss the realities of rent control, how it affects property values, and what investors can do to work within those regulations while still making smart investment decisions. Throughout our discussion, he emphasizes the importance of treating real estate as a business, building strong relationships with local experts, and making informed decisions based on long-term potential rather than short-term gains. Toward the end of the episode, we shift gears with a rapid-fire Q&A where Remoun shares his biggest regrets, his goals for the future, and even what would make his Sundays perfect. It’s a great way to round out a conversation that is full of practical insights, real-world examples, and expert strategies. If you’re looking to invest in real estate but aren’t sure where to begin, or if you’re an experienced investor looking for new ways to improve your approach, this episode offers valuable guidance.

Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. In this episode, I sit down with developer and contractor Adam O’Neill to uncover the untapped opportunities hiding in plain sight for real estate investors—opportunities most people overlook because they fear the complexity of entitlements, zoning, and development approvals. Adam reveals how recent policy shifts in California have transformed the playing field, creating new “by-right” development paths that strip away many of the political and bureaucratic roadblocks that used to stall projects. We explore how to identify progressive cities with high housing demand, spot parcels with hidden potential, and use strategic relationships to turn local knowledge into extraordinary value. You’ll also hear how creativity, curiosity, and calculated risk can open doors to projects with outsized returns, even for those who aren’t seasoned developers.
