Why Real Estate Has Room for Everyone

In Partnership With

Thankful for Abundant Opportunity

In sports, opportunity is scarce.

Ricky Bobby had his famous line: “If you ain’t first, you’re last.” And in a lot of competitive fields, he’s not entirely wrong. Every college and pro team that makes the playoffs—every single one—ends their season with a loss unless they win the championship. You can have a phenomenal season, break records, inspire a fan base… and still finish with disappointment.

Real estate is nothing like that.

In real estate, opportunity isn’t scarce—it’s abundant. There isn’t one trophy, one winner, or one champion’s circle. Person A can succeed wildly. So can Person B. And C. And the next hundred after that.

When I lived in Atlanta, I once estimated there were around 10,000 active investors in the metro area. At first glance, that seems like a crowded field. But then I looked deeper—just in Fulton County alone, there were around 90,000 vacant lots or abandoned homes at the time. That was just one county, and that was just the obvious opportunity.

That’s when I started saying:

“Keep your eyes open. Opportunities are everywhere.”

Real estate rewards creativity, persistence, and awareness—not scarcity thinking. Deals don’t vanish when someone else succeeds. Your neighbor buying a flip doesn’t take away your chance. Someone else wholesaling a contract doesn’t block your path. Markets ebb and flow, but the opportunities never dry up—they just shift, move, and wait for the investor who’s paying attention.

If you want something to be thankful for this week, start with this:

You’re in a business where winning isn’t exclusive. There’s room for everyone to succeed.

And that’s something worth appreciating every single day.

Here’s an un-boring way to invest that billionaires have quietly leveraged for decades

If you have enough money that you think about buckets for your capital…

Ever invest in something you know will have low returns—just for the sake of diversifying?

CDs… Bonds… REITs… :(

Sure, these “boring” investments have some merits. But you probably overlooked one historically exclusive asset class:

It’s been famously leveraged by billionaires like Bezos and Gates, but just never been widely accessible until now.

It outpaced the S&P 500 (!) overall WITH low correlation to stocks, 1995 to 2025.*

It’s not private equity or real estate. Surprisingly, it’s postwar and contemporary art.

And since 2019, over 70,000 people have started investing in SHARES of artworks featuring legends like Banksy, Basquiat, and Picasso through a platform called Masterworks.
