In this REI Only episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam shares his outlook on what the real estate market could look like in 2026, using 2025 as the baseline. He explains why he expects conditions to be slightly better overall, while emphasizing that outcomes will remain highly situational and location dependent. Sam also discusses why improving affordability could bring more buyers back into the market and how potential changes like 50-year mortgages and looser credit requirements may help expand access to homeownership.

Whether you’re planning your next investment or thinking about timing your entry into the market, this episode offers a realistic, level-headed view of what steady, predictable growth in 2026 could mean for real estate investors.

In this week’s Behind The Scenes episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam breaks down how his team sets the vision for the year ahead across all four companies—and why real strategy doesn’t start with a random goal or a last-minute plan.

He walks through their annual off-site executive retreat, where the leadership team steps away from day-to-day operations to focus on big-picture thinking, alignment, and clarity. You’ll hear how they work backwards from a long-term 5-year vision into a 3-year outlook, and finally into a clear 1-year picture that gives every team direction without getting lost in unnecessary details.

From setting broad strokes that guide decision-making to creating alignment that helps teams execute with confidence, this episode gives a behind-the-scenes look at how intentional planning sets companies up to actually hit their goals—year after year.

In this episode of The FasterFreedom Show, Sam and Lucas break down the absolute chaos unfolding in Hollywood—from the rumors and reactions around Warner Bros, Netflix, Paramount, and the broader wave of studio shakeups happening right now. They walk through the history of major Hollywood mergers, why these giants keep consolidating, and what’s really driving the sudden scramble across the industry.

They even take a moment to connect the dots between how these massive companies borrow, restructure, and reposition themselves—and how everyday real estate investors use similar principles to scale their portfolios. It’s a small but eye-opening look at how the same financial mechanics show up in totally different worlds.

Then the guys switch gears to dive into the newly revealed College Football Playoff bracket. They give their unfiltered reactions, hot takes, what the committee got right (and wrong), and the issues still present with this selection process. They preview the biggest storylines to watch and make a few bold predictions of their own.

From Hollywood turmoil to CFP fireworks, this episode blends business insight, entertainment breakdowns, and the candid real estate talk you expect from the show.
