The Freedom Investors Should Appreciate

One of the quiet blessings we often overlook is the freedom to build a better life through our own effort. Real estate investors, entrepreneurs, business owners—we all operate within a system that allows us to pursue profit, opportunity, and a future that’s better than the one we started with. That’s not something to take for granted.

Winston Churchill famously said, “Capitalism is the worst economic system… except for all the others.” He wasn’t celebrating perfection—he was acknowledging reality: capitalism has flaws, but it remains the system that consistently gives ordinary people the chance to work hard, make smart choices, and change their lives.

And that’s worth a moment of gratitude.

In some cities, and in some corners of society, there’s a growing skepticism toward profit, private enterprise, or investing for personal gain. History shows—repeatedly—that alternatives like socialism or communism might sound compassionate in theory but fail disastrously in practice. They remove incentives, restrict opportunity, and consolidate power where it doesn’t belong. But we don’t need to turn this into a political lecture. The point isn’t to argue—it’s to appreciate.

Because no matter what’s happening in NYC, Seattle, or any other market struggling under the weight of its own bad ideas, we still have the freedom to:

• Invest where opportunity exists

• Build businesses that create value

• Pursue returns that reward risk

• Improve our families’ futures

• Choose where to live, work, and put our capital

Real estate investors benefit directly from this freedom. You can buy a rental across town, flip a house in another state, partner with someone across the country, or shift your entire investment strategy whenever you want. You’re not waiting on permission from a central planner. You’re not capped, restricted, or prevented from pursuing profit because someone else decided your “fair share.”

We talk a lot about deals, numbers, formulas, markets, and strategies. But beneath all of that is the simple fact that we get to participate in an economic system that gives everyday people a path to prosperity.

And that freedom—the freedom to build, grow, earn, invest, and create—is something truly worth being thankful for.
