In this episode of Masters of Real Estate, Matt breaks down how to think clearly when markets feel unstable.
Most investors lose money during volatility for one reason. They react instead of analyze. Matt explains why volatility itself is not the enemy, and how poor decisions during uncertain markets destroy portfolios.
You will hear how to evaluate risk using data instead of headlines. How to assess asset classes, operators, and market trajectories before making a move. Why capital protection means cash flow, conservative leverage, and stress testing, not sitting on the sidelines.
Matt also shares real examples from past cycles, including Covid and rising interest rate environments. He walks through how lending strategies, seller financing, distressed acquisitions, and diversification created opportunity when others froze.
This episode is about building a plan that works in both up markets and down markets. A plan based on cash flow, reserves, and long term thinking. If your strategy only works when conditions are perfect, Matt explains why that is not a strategy at all.
