I didn’t achieve financial freedom until my 40s, but I’m incredibly grateful I started investing. After facing many challenges, I now own a new home and earn $155,000 a month. God has been faithful, and my family is thriving. If this can encourage anyone-no matter your age, you can start investing today and change your future. Investing in the financial market was the best choice I made.

Many people minimise the role of advisors until their own feelings get enraged. When I needed a boost to keep my firm viable years ago, I looked for licensed advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing to over $550,000 despite inflation.

I've been looking to get one, but have been kind of relaxed about it. Could you recommend your advisor? I'll be happy to use some help.

Fantastic content as always! Appreciate the rare honesty and transparency. After experimenting with stocks since late 2021, I've shifted to 100% S&P 500, regretting not doing so from the start.

[@ImariJust]

I find it more productive and safe to buy growth/blue-chip stocks & large caps. It's advisable to work with a fiduciary advisor for a well-diversified portfolios instead of relying solely on speculations.

[@Jeffcraparo]

Exactly, a good number of people discredit the effectiveness of financial advisor, but over the past 10years, I’ve had a financial advisor consistently restructure and diversify my portfolio/expenses and I’ve made over $1 million in gains… might not be a lot but i'm financially secure and that's fine by me.

[@philipfletch]

First mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were common when I bought my first house to live in, which was in Miami in the early 1990s. People will have to come to terms with the fact that we may never get back to 3%. Home prices will have to drop if sellers are forced to sell, and appraisals will drop as a result. I'm very certain that I'm not the only one thinking this.

[@RoseGuerra7862]

In fact, it will only grow worse. Affordable homes will soon become unaffordable. Therefore, if anyone wants to do something, I suggest doing it right away because tomorrow's costs will appear to be lower than they are today. I believe that frenzy brought on by excessive inflation will persist until the Fed tightens its regulations considerably further. The bandage cannot be torn off in the middle.

[@martinheaway]

consider moving your money from the housing market to financial markets or gold due to high mortgage rates and tough guidelines. Home prices may need to drop significantly before things stabilize. Seeking advice from a financial advisor who understands the market could be helpful in making the right decisions.

[@JaneClark7861]

nice! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier.. who is your advisor please, if you don't mind me asking?

[@martinheaway]

There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’ Amy Desiree Irish” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up

I’m in San Jose and the housing market here over the last 7-8 years is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Homes that were bought for $130K in 2015 are now being sold for $590k. I’m talking about tiny, disgusting, poorly built 950 square foot shit boxes in quiet mediocre neighbourhoods. Then you’ve got Better, average sized homes in nicer neighbourhoods that were $300K+ 10 years ago selling for $750k+ now. Wild times.

[@iamlaurenmoe]

Home prices will come down eventually, but for now; get your money (as much as you can) out of the housing market and get into the financial markets or gold. The new mortgage rates are crazy, add to that the recession and the fact that mortgage guidelines are getting more difficult. Home prices will need to fall by a minimum of 40% (more like 50%) before the market normalises. If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

[@JosephMartin7226]

Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $121k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

[@michaellaw321]

I'm glad I came across this exchange. Could you tell me how I can contact the financial advisor you trust with your money, if that's okay?

[@Kin-28-8]

This is precisely why I like having an asset manager look over my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a manager for more than two years, and I've made over 85% of my initial amount

Asking a real estate agent whether you should buy a home right now is like to asking an alcoholic whether they think you should have a drink lol. Homes in my neighbourhood that cost around $450k in sales in 2019 are now going for $800 to $950k. Every seller in my neighbourhood is currently making a $350k profit. Simply unreal. In all honesty, deflation is what we require. The only other option is for many people to go bankrupt, which would also be bad for the economy. That is the only way to return to normal.

I've found success investing in real estate, starting my journey in my early 20s, and now I'm in my mid-50s. One key factor for me has been my passion for real estate. I've always been fascinated by real estate, and I love spending my free time researching and learning about the market. What began as a hobby has turned into a lucrative venture for me. On the other hand, I have no interest in researching the stock market. Everyone has their own path!

[@sazabi1980]

I agree. Some people just love real estate, and do very well. However I would like to point out that for the stock market, there is really no research or time needed. It is the simplest way to invest. People just need to get it out of their head that they must pick individual stocks and 10x it. This video is the best example, just buy the SP500 index (there are tons of them out there). Buying 500 of the best and most profitable companies in America, there is no research or maintenance needed...ever!!!

Right, and it really depends on what you’re aiming for. With stocks, you’ve got potential for steady growth, but the ups and downs can be tough to stomach, especially now. And real estate-it’s more stable in some ways, but then you’re dealing with maintenance, taxes, and market fluctuations. It’s far from a guaranteed win

[@roseyfischer]

Exactly. People talk about real estate like it’s foolproof, but it’s not. I’ve seen people invest in property and end up with a house that costs them more than it makes. Stocks, on the other hand, can feel like gambling when you don’t have a strategy. And that’s where so many folks get burned

[@SteveTyurin]

Just starting out with investing, and I’m already coming across some mixed advice on asset allocation. People say ETFs and index funds are great for covering the market, but I’ve heard they can also include weaker stocks that might dilute returns from stronger performers. I’m aiming more for financial independence than just traditional retirement, so I’m wondering if I should be more selective or if I'm maybe overthinking it. Already made some rookie mistakes too, like selling during a recent dip, which led to unexpected capital gains taxes

[@DaliTaliani-wz4ti]

I’ve been there myself, especially as I got closer to retirement. The impact of market dips felt heavier, so in a panic, I shifted a lot of my portfolio from stocks to bonds, thinking it was safer. But I didn’t anticipate the capital gains taxes I’d owe or that I’d miss out on the rebound. That mistake alone cost me more than I realized until I spoke with a financial advisor. With their advice, I restructured my investments, used them tax-free to secure real estate, and the rental income covered the debt while the properties appreciate. I’m now on track to retire with around $4 million, something I might’ve missed out on entirely if I hadn’t sought advice. getting it right early can set you up for a far more stable future

If you do not currently own a home, it is very difficult to advise against this. I work in private wealth management and deal with these kinds of decisions all the time. Even if stocks strongly outperformed, the one thing for retirees, unless they are very wealthy, is expenses in retirement. Even a change in $200/mo over a period of 20-25 years of retirement is astronomical when accounting for inflation. If you can retire with the least amount of expenses, housing be a large portion of that, it’s a huge win. If you have this accounted for by living with family or already owning a home, then the decision is a bit more nuanced and subjective

Much of this is right on point. We were fed a misconception (often by parents and others) that we just HAD to own our home otherwise we're "throwing money away" by renting. We were also told that being a landlord is passive income, which it is not. Stock offer great opportunities for return, and while real estate has significant value as well, it's not a must-have.

Buying a single-family home when you'll be living in it for many years - has always been the BEST investment - things changed over the last 4 years. So your parents were right!!!! Single-family homes across America - especially in desirable cities/areas - are being bought up by investors, ie, Blackstone, Blackrock, Wall Street, etc. - making it difficult for an individual or family to purchase. Investors pay CASH and are renting out all the properties for many years. That started in 2008, 09, 10, 11, 12, etc.

[@Aggie4life77]

Go back and read my post. She was not necessarily talking about your main home. She was talking about rentals. You absolutely want to own your own home and live in it. Even if you make a lot of money way in stocks, why would you keep renting? You’re still throwing away money young lady! Make a down payment and buy a home to live in! Eventually you will pay it off. That means no more mortgage or rent. Just property taxes. If you keep renting, that doesn’t stop until the casket drop!

[@MoonShine-o5n]

​@@Aggie4life77This is just bad boomer advice lol. It makes sense to buy your own property IF its cheaper than renting after accounting for maintenence, taxes, HOA fees, etc. Theres no point in getting a house you can't afford and being "house poor". If you keep investing in the market, you can always sell it and use the profits for buying property in the future.

[@poonekar]

I commend you, Shelby, for investing in both real estate and stocks. Here are a few insights from my 24 years in stocks and 20 in real estate: 1) Returns in each asset class depend more on a person's skill and risk tolerance than the asset class itself. 2) A primary residence is often a liability unless you’re house-hacking or tapping its equity. So, let's focus on rentals vs stocks. 3) Choosing the right investments is key. For example, I prefer QQQ over the S&P due to its higher returns (14.5% vs 10%). Also if you learn technical analysis, your returns will even be higher. 4) In real estate, steady investments like multiplexes in stable markets yield better returns than flashy properties like STRs in Palm Springs. My recent quadplex purchase offers a 9% cash-on-cash return, with a total annual return of ~20% with leverage. 5) While real estate investors emphasize leverage, leveraged ETFs (like TQQQ) also offer high returns but with increased volatility. My advice: invest in both, start with stocks, and shift more toward real estate as retirement nears for steady low/no tax cash flow.

[@ZakiyaAbdullahi]

If you are a property owner, EVERYTHING Shelby has described is spot on about the amount of carrying costs (PROPERTY TAX, PROPERTY INSURANCE KEEPS INCREASING INDEFINETLEY) that come with property ownership, along with unexpected expenses (maintenance, upkeep, etc) that are rarely factored into peoples ability to comprehend which of the 2 is likely to be the better return. The lower the down payment, and the faster the appreciation in a preferred dwelling located in an urban center, the more favorable for the individual. The more down payment, with slow to steady appreciation, along with low to no cashflow is not competing with stock market returns. Not everyone will have access to favourable deals in urban centers, and that is okay. In the mean time, until the numbers make sense to buy real estate, it's better to have the money deployed in the stock market. Great video.

The interest rates today at ~6.5% are putting a lot more substantial downward pressure on the real estate side of the equation. The leveraged advantage you mentioned comes with such a substantial cost, you are basically buying the house twice over in interest after 30 years. Interest has to be like 2-3 times the maintenance and taxes today on a new mortgage.

[@ashishpatel350]

yeah low rates allowed housing to have a big jump. she would be better off comparing from 2008 to now.

[@NatashaEstrada]

Yeah and you also have to factor in that a 4% appreciation in value is far from guaranteed in real estate. In LA for example a lot of houses didn't appreciate much between the mid 80s and the 90s then they surged up in the early 00's only to crash a little in the housing crisis and then there was the run up in the late 2010s and the covid surge. Historically speaking for Palm Springs she bought at nearly the top of the market and I would expect a plateau for awhile. Also you have to factor in that a lot of the historical growth in housing has come from growth in the surrounding geographical area. In Los Angeles the city has been growing for the last 40 years and that growth period is starting to come to an end.

Real estate's sole advantage in terms of wealth creation is the power of leveraged investment with lower risk than leverage in stocks. I mean 20% down on a $375k house in 1988 is $75k. Your initial outlay yielded a 2300% ROI in real estate. The inflated dollars you paid on principal and interest may make the return appear less favorable, but absent good luck with options investing, you don't have the same leverage available in stocks and you could have a tenant pay the mortgage and taxes the entire time you are buying the real estate.

[@aaronjjacques]

Option trading is not that difficult even when you are just starting out For example i bought 500 shares of amd at 4/share at thevsame time the call option 2 years out strike $4 was trading at 1.1 /share Sokd 400 used the premium to pay off a 100 shares When the contract struck (amd traded at 10) the stock was pulled away and covered the losn Now that i am better at predicting out of money strikes i sell covered calls.without losing the stock (87% of the time) That same stock just esrned $54/share with a strike $195.

Great video, Shelby. The headache factor in real estate is often not appreciated. Thanks for that point in the video. I really like index funds. Very low fees and they take care of themselves. I also own my home which is nice when you get into your mid-fifties like me. Thanks again.

[@mjacksonjones]

This is where I'm at with a property I'm renting. Our long-term renter is leaving soon, and we (more than likely) will sell and invest the proceeds in the stock market within an ETF vs. keeping the property. I have used similar math as you did but at 7-8%, and it's a little more return with stocks vs house appreciation (minus -xyz). But not having the HEADACHE of renters and maintenance makes stocks so much better to me. Especially as you get older. I also agree with you regarding your CA property. If you use the property for pleasure, it's hard to measure against that. And last, definitely own something u live in.

[@AaronHenray]

Well done for breaking it down, especially for people who don’t take the time to really do a deep dive into the numbers and are left with an asset that may just end up costing them money, especially in the short term 👍🏽

[@Squatanddeads]

The best investment is self-improvement. It is not the investment product (house or stocks). It is the investor. Great video and great job getting that cash flow! 👍🏼

[@DeannaWillistonOFS-x5q]

I'm glad you made this video. It reminds me of my transformation from nobody to a good home, an honest husband, earning $38k biweekly, and having a daughter full of love❤️

[@KenHonda-w1i]

Hello 👋 how do you make such weekly amount?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God

[@DeannaWillistonOFS-x5q]

Thanks to Mrs Elizabeth Regina Nelson's time in my life,which had a profound impact on me.

[@DeannaWillistonOFS-x5q]

It is the digital market. That has been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it. God has been good to my household. Thank you, Jesus.

[@JamesLaura-k5e]

Wow! I'm kind of in shock that you mentioned the expert, Elizabeth Regina Nelsen. What a coincidence!!

[@WilliaSmith232]

😨Sounds familiar, I have heard her names on several occasions.. And both her success stories on wall street journey!

[@daviswatkinsyt]

We REALLY need to change the mindset that owning a home is an "investment" rather than simply a place to live. I don't like the idea that owning real estate is the only way to build wealth

[@DS-gt1ft]

Except for MOST people it is. You can't get a mortgage for stocks and unless you can leverage you investment, you can't build wealth.

[@danderich2768]

Yeah but with low net worth there is only 1 shot or get poor

[@leoprg5330]

There are examples worldwide where big chunk of population preferred investing into real estate so much, that they stopped investing into innovation and business and ended up with way overpriced housing market and economy that doesn't generate enough growth.. I guess people dreamed off becoming affluent without hard work?

[@moonstone3662]

Nothing needs to be changed. Reality is reality and when you buy a property you get both a house, and an asset which may or may or may not be worth more than when you bought it. Why change fact?

[@ShelbyChurch]

seriously!

[@guysumpthin2974]

Such great Wisdom ❤❤❤, and concise delivery!

[@davidg4058]

Appreciate the numbers and your insight. Throughout retirement, I have been invested in stocks and cash, and have not owned any real estate of any kind. Now my net worth is at an all-time high, even though I have been retired for over 10 years and renting all along. Great stock market returns without dealing with home maintenance, yard work, etc. or bad tenants or the stress when tenants move out and your cash flow goes negative. Of course, the stock market bubble will burst sooner or later and go back to more historical levels.

[@Moustafa11]

This is a helpful comparison. An area not accounted for in the numbers is the benefits of all the annual tax deductions for real estate, including the depreciation deduction (a big one) which can reduce taxes from overall income.

[@MattsMkia]

As a realtor in my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.

[@winifred-k9e]

I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

[@richardhudson1243]

You are right! I’ve diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.

[@JacobsErick-u8r]

Could you kindly leave your investment advisor's contact information here? I absolutely must have one.

[@richardhudson1243]

She goes by ‘’Melissa Terri Swayne’ I suggest you look her up. To be honest, I almost didn't buy the idea of letting someone handle growing my finance, but so glad I did.

[@EmmanuelleNatty]

Thank you! I entered her full name into my browser, and her website came out on top. I filled her form and i hope she gets back to me soon.

[@HouseDoneLifeOver]

Good video, Shelby 😊. Other considerations are the tax write offs from deducting mortgage interest and depreciation. Cheers

[@NkeonyeSochima]

Thanks for the perfect update. Thinking about investment diversification is certainly key, How do I properly invest in the market and what strategies do I employ to make significant gains and stable cashflow?

[@BobbyGriffin-ur3ik]

in my opinion, some financial situations can be handled on your own if you research enough, while others are best navigated in consultation with a financial specialist

[@SylvieKgirard-ij2sx]

Productivity is never accidental; it is always the result of careful planning, dedication, and consistency. I am grateful to God for my advisor, MRS Clara Burn; with her help, I am now financially secure, earning between $10,000 and $25,000 per week.

[@Matswagner]

Workers are losing ground in preparing for retirement and increasing the risk that their assets will outlive them. We must all do more to help improve savings and retirement security in the country. If you are not the one who understands the strategies for investing wisely, seek help.

[@Wallason-zh1if]

Clara Burn is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services.She is well knowledgeable about financial markets.

[@bigsuperlivinginarizona7383]

Clara Burn is amazing and the best crypto guard. 💯❤

[@youngsantiago]

This was excellent, thank you! I like how you took into consideration all the little costs. Very precise! 👌🏾. I’ll stick with the stocks… no need for all the hassle!

[@SergioB-MakingMillionaires]

Do a cash out refinance and leave no money in the property. You will then be appreciating an asset without having any money invested. That’s what the stock market can’t beat. Thanks for the video.

[@GrandtHudson1]

The S&P 500 moved 8.9% higher last Month, achieving one of its best monthly performances in history.. which is an indicator for profits to continue to improve. I just want my money to keep outgrowing the inflation rate. I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $500K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...

[@ReginaAlbrighton]

I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.

[@JeanKlaasen]

Agreed, It's essential to diversify your portfolio. While quality stocks are a solid foundation, you should also consider other assets to spread risk. Thankfully, I can attest to the success of this approach aided by professional guidance seeing my portfolio of $330k grow by 29% this year alone... maybe you should do the same.

[@SoledadUnai]

This is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors I can get on the phone with? I'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation.

[@JeanKlaasen]

I work with Elisse Laparche Ewing as my fiduciary advisor. Simply look up the name. You would discover the information you needed to schedule an appointment.

[@EricCarrasco-g8h]

Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.

[@derekcarday]

0:42 1.7M dollars today was the equivalent of $657,400 in 1988 after inflation adjustment. You're not making as much on your home as you think you are.

[@derekcarday]

so basically your investment doubled after 37 years. not a 400% increase

[@MoonShine-o5n]

To be fair, she didn't adjust the stock market income for inflation either so it's fair in my view.

[@SamuelHenrique-dp4md]

@@MoonShine-o5n Stock market prices rise because of the productivity and inflation relationship, so it's already priced in. Companies pass on inflation and high costs and dividends, and prices stay current. But I could be wrong.

[@Gastone-y6j]

Thank you for sharing. Financial education is crucial today to show incredible resilience and discipline in the volatile market, masterfully balancing strategy and insight for success. This dedication to continuous learning is inspiring...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 540k in the space of a few weeks... I'm especially grateful to Milton Harper, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape..

[@Angelina-x6u]

Nice info, i appreciate your concern this will help a lot especially to the young investors who have no or lesser knowledge on how the market works.
