The real estate market in the United States is magical, but its citizens often miss out on the unique opportunities it offers.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan sits down with Adiel Gorel, founder and CEO of International Capital Group, a world-renowned real estate investment firm founded in the San Francisco Bay Area. Since 1987, Adiel has taught investors how to secure a strong financial future for college, business investments, and retirement. Adiel also operates in the wellness space.

Jonathan and Adiel begin their discussion by exploring Adiel’s unwilling exposure to real estate as a child. When he began his career in Silicon Valley as a young adult, he discovered the many benefits of the U.S. real estate sector, learning how to leverage the mortgage system to build wealth with rental properties. Adiel explains the fluctuation in interest rates since the 1980s, the benefits of buying today instead of waiting, and why inflation can be a positive for investors. You’ll hear about venturing beyond your local market for rental properties, his criteria for the markets he buys in, and Adiel’s personal decision to rent for 20 years before buying his own home.

The real estate market in this country is unique, and Adiel wants everyone to know what they could be missing out on by not taking advantage of the magic it offers.
