The Investor Who Says Never Buy a House

Real estate investor Grant Cardone says never buy a home — rent instead, and put your money in the market. Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley debate the case for renting versus owning. Dave, who's rented for over a decade, lays out the freedom of renting against the nonstop chores of ownership. They find zero libertarian voices anywhere in their research — everyone agrees housing is broken. Internationally, Vienna's rents run roughly a third of market rate, Tokyo's the cheapest big city on Earth, and one city's rent control crushed new construction by 48%.
