Is house flipping officially dead?
In this episode of the Wealth Architect Podcast, Emilio DiSpirito—who flipped over 45 homes in just five years—shares why wholesaling has changed the economics of flipping and why new construction and condos may be the better long-term strategy.
Emilio also delivers his 2026 real estate market outlook, breaking down where opportunity still exists and where investors are getting it wrong.
In Segment Two, we replay an important conversation with Shannon Elizabeth Weinstein, who explains how rent control policies affect housing markets—and why they often hurt the very cities they’re meant to protect.
If you’re investing, building, or advising clients in real estate, this episode will change how you think about the next cycle.
