Owning What You Rent — Policy, Tax, and the Lightning Round

A $100,000 investment can show $60,000 of paper losses in year one — a tax benefit ordinary renters never get access to. Sam Froerer tells Jerremy Alexander Newsome and Dave Conley that Trump-era policy restored 100% bonus depreciation after Biden had cut it to 40%. He argues the top 1% pulling away from everyone else is the same pattern behind every collapsed civilization in history. Asked what he'd do with $50 million to fix housing, Sam says he'd buy three more properties to prove his model works before pitching it to private equity and pension funds. In the lightning round, he says homeownership under 35 is, as of now, functionally over.
