Top 3 Cities to Buy Real Estate in 2026
Apr 600:20:12Summary readyWelcome 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.

SummaryThe Real Estate Setup I Haven’t Seen Since 2010
Mar 3000:24:11Summary readyWelcome 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.

SummaryCan You Really Make Money Investing in Art?
Mar 1901:03:08Summary readyWelcome 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.

SummaryWatch Me Break Down a Real Investment Property
Mar 900:16:24Summary readyWelcome 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.

SummaryState of the Market: What Strong Jobs & Lower Rates Mean for You
Mar 300:19:31Summary readyWelcome 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.

SummaryPro Skater: If You Don’t Plan For This, You Lose Everything
Feb 2301:09:35Summary readyWelcome 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?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jonas Kuehne to talk about something that impacts every area of your life: your health. 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. This is a practical conversation about taking ownership of your health before small issues become big problems.
