The FasterFreedom Show Podcast

Foreclosures are spiking across America and every news outlet is asking the same question: is this 2008 all over again? In this episode, Sam Primm and Lucas peel back the curtain on the actual foreclosure data — state by state — and give you the truth Wall Street and the media aren't telling you. Foreclosure filings are up double digits year over year, and headlines are scaring homeowners and investors into thinking a housing crash is coming. But when you look at the real numbers, a completely different story shows up. 🏠 GET THE FREE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY: [Skool link] 📊 In this episode you'll learn:✅ What the foreclosure numbers ACTUALLY say (spoiler: still below 2019)✅ Why foreclosures went to nearly zero from 2020-2023✅ The 5 states leading the surge — and why each one is different✅ The states barely feeling it (including Sam's home state, Missouri)✅ The 3 reasons this is NOT 2008 (and why comparing them is lazy)✅ How today's $34 trillion in homeowner equity changes everything✅ Why smart investors are quietly celebrating this shift✅ How to find pre-foreclosure deals in your market right now The mainstream media wants you to click. The data wants to tell you the truth. Foreclosures are up FROM artificially low COVID-era levels, TO still-below-normal historical averages. In 2010, America had 2.9 million foreclosure filings. In 2024, that number was around 322,000. Even at today's elevated pace, we're on track for well under half of pre-2008 levels. More importantly: the underlying setup is completely different. In 2008, subprime lending, no-doc mortgages, and negative equity created a system-wide collapse. In 2026, lending standards are the tightest they've been in decades, homeowner equity is at a historic high, and most people facing foreclosure can SELL their home for a profit before it ever hits auction. Sam and Lucas walk through the state-by-state breakdown — Florida's insurance crisis, Vegas's overpricing correction, Illinois's tax delinquency surge — and explain why the "national foreclosure crisis" narrative falls apart when you actually look at the map. For real estate investors, this shift means one thing: deal flow is back. Pre-foreclosure lists are getting bigger for the first time in five years. Motivated sellers are returning to the market. The retail buyers scared off by the headlines are leaving room for the smart money to move. Plus we talk about or man-date this weekend! www.fasterfreedomcapital.com

The June CPI report just dropped and inflation fell from 4.2% to 3.5% — the biggest one-month decline in over six years. Wall Street is celebrating. Stocks are ripping. But here's what nobody's talking about: this news is even BETTER for real estate investors than it is for stock owners. In this episode, Sam and Lucas break down exactly what happened this morning, what inflation actually is, what causes it, and why owning real estate is the ultimate cheat code in ANY inflation environment — whether it's rising, falling, or staying flat. You'll learn: What the new inflation numbers actually mean for interest rates Why the Fed's next move could reshape the housing market How real estate destroyed inflation over the last 5 years (47% vs 19%) The 5 wealth engines that fire HARDER during inflation Why rents have outpaced wages 2-to-1 for 40 years How your fixed-rate mortgage becomes cheaper to pay off every year Why savers lose while asset owners quietly get rich Plus: World Cup Cahtter, LeBron's off-season sightings, and the internet's favorite 2,200-pound Tasmanian elephant seal. If you've ever wondered why inflation makes the rich richer while everyone else falls behind — this is the episode that connects every dot.

Missouri just passed a law that's about to make wholesaling as we know it illegal — and it's not stopping there. Six states passed similar laws in 2025. More are lining up. If you're a real estate investor, this changes the game. In this episode, Sam and Lucas break down exactly what the new Missouri law does, why it's part of a nationwide crackdown on unlicensed wholesaling, and what smart investors should be doing right now to stay ahead of it. Sam shares why he actually thinks the ban is a GOOD thing for the industry — and how the pros are already winning while the TikTok wholesalers panic. Plus World Cup takes, a little chaos with Lucas, and the story behind Sam's newest deal. Sponsored by: 🏦 FasterFreedom Capital — need lending for your next flip or rental?

Congress just passed the biggest housing bill in 36 years — the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act — with veto-proof majorities in both chambers. The Senate passed it 85 to 5. The House passed it 358 to 32. Then Trump canceled the signing ceremony at the last second. In this episode, Sam and Lucas break down every major piece of the bill — including the new cap on institutional investors (goodbye, BlackRock buying up your neighborhood), the Build Now Act, NEPA streamlining, community banking reform, and the manufactured housing unlock. More importantly: what does this bill actually mean for the small and mid-sized real estate investor? Sam gives his honest take on why this bill is a net positive for regular investors like you — and why Wall Street is quietly panicking. Plus: World Cup shockers, NBA off-season heat, and where the smart money is going next.
