Economic risk is growing, and protecting/building your wealth could get more challenging. Stocks are overvalued, mortgage rates are high, and many Americans feel stuck without a good option. What’s BiggerPockets CEO Scott Trench doing with his money to protect his wealth from inflation, recessions, and easy-money policies? Today, Scott shares his exact plan (and new investments!).

Scott went on record a few months ago to talk about his big move—cashing out of much of his index fund portfolio. What, in hindsight, looked like perfect market timing was instead a defensive move to protect himself from growing irrational exuberance. Where did he put the cash he got from the sale? Right into real estate, and so far, it’s working out quite well.

Today, Scott talks about the exact property types he’s buying, the best investing move for a beginner to make given today’s challenging economic landscape, and the significant economic risks that could be coming in 2025 and 2026. Scott’s putting his money where his mouth is, and, so far, he’s been spot on. Would you take the same approach to protect your wealth?
