Is 2026 a good time to buy real estate? Brandon and Greg don't sugarcoat it — the answer is yes, and they break down exactly why in this episode of High Stakes Deals.The Fed held rates again. No cuts. And if you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the perfect moment to buy, Brandon has a message for you: there is no perfect moment. There never was. The people who time the market are usually the ones who never get started.In this episode Brandon and Greg cover everything — from the current state of the economy and what the Fed's rate decision actually means for multifamily investors, to the mindset shift that separates people who build real wealth from people who keep waiting for better conditions.They also unpack one of the most underrated concepts in real estate: staying power. Multifamily isn't a spec game. You're not betting everything on selling at the right price on the right date. You buy right, you hold, and you let the asset pay for itself while the market does what markets do over time.Plus — Brandon shares his personal wellness routine that's been keeping him sharp: intermittent fasting, NAD shots, vitamin IV drips, red light therapy, cryo chambers, and yes — the sauna where apparently half of BCGK's deals get done.

What happens when you finally make six figures… and realize it still isn’t enough?

On this episode of High Stakes Deals, Brandon and Greg sit down with Peter Bailey to talk about money, identity, career reinvention, and what it actually takes to build financial freedom.

Peter’s path has been anything but traditional. He studied theater, became a teacher, got laid off, spent time living out of his car, rebuilt his career in government, climbed to a six-figure salary—and eventually walked away from the security he had worked so hard to create.

Peter breaks down why earning more money doesn’t automatically create wealth, why so many people struggle to save even as their income increases, and the simple habit he believes should come before investing: paying yourself first.

The conversation dives into the 10% savings rule, lifestyle creep, student debt, buying vs. renting, financial protection, building assets, entrepreneurship, and the difference between being financially secure and actually feeling free.

They also get personal about Peter’s relationship with his father, meeting and marrying his husband within months, the role mentorship played in changing his life, and how experiencing a death in the family reinforced the importance of having your financial affairs in order.

If you’re making money but wondering where it keeps going—or you’re trying to move from simply earning a paycheck to actually building wealth—this episode is for you.

High Stakes Deals explores the money, real estate, business, and mindset decisions behind building something bigger.
