Struggling to pick what to invest in, especially when real estate prices and mortgage rates are still so high? Many investors are sitting on the sidelines, saving cash for their first or next investment property, but nothing seems to work out. So what do you do, keep your money socked away or invest in other assets that aren’t real estate while waiting for the right time to pull the trigger? We know many of you are in this position, so today, we’re sharing what we’re investing in that ISN’T real estate.

This may be a surprise, but even some of the most well-known investors in the BiggerPockets universe aren’t 100% in real estate. Dave Meyer, Brian Burke, and Mindy Jensen all don’t have even half of their net worths in real estate investments. As such respected real estate investors, what else are they putting their money into that ISN’T more rental properties?

In this episode, you get to peek into our investment accounts as we share exactly what we’ve been investing in, how we diversify our investment portfolios, and the “riskier” assets we put our money into that you may not even know exist. So, if you’re struggling to buy real estate or just don’t think investment properties are for you, worry not; you can still build wealth without purchasing a property.
