Ammon Childs

Just Buy That Real Estate

Near the end of the episode, Ammon is asked what advice he would give buyers right now. He doesn’t hesitate. If he could go back and tell younger Ammon one thing, it would be this: just buy that real estate. It appreciates over time. Rates come and go — and you can refinance. The forecast suggests rates will continue to fall. His regret is not buying more, sooner. Ryan echoes it: much of his own financial growth has come from real estate appreciation and rental properties, not his primary career income. Their shared message: real estate is how you get rich slowly — and that is not a criticism of slow. It is an endorsement of it.

Ammon shares a candid reflection on his financial journey, stating that his only major regret is not purchasing more real estate sooner. He notes that while he has worked hard in his career, he has often made more through the simple appreciation of his properties than through his primary job. He describes real estate as the ultimate 'get rich slowly' proven method and encourages others to buy as soon as they can, rather than trying to time the market perfectly.

Jimmy recalls a formative childhood memory of sitting at the bottom of the stairs, listening to his parents fight over money. This experience deeply affected him, leading him to conclude at a very young age that financial security was the primary way to avoid household problems and conflict. This early awareness shaped his drive to become wealthy as an adult to ensure his own future home would be free of such stressors.
