He Bought After 2008, Sold at the Peak, and JUST Bought Again

BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast
Few investors have gotten the real estate market as right as Brian Burke. He bought heavily discounted deals after 2008, sold at the post-2020 peak, waited years to buy, and finally just made his next big move—taking down a profitable, large investment property for 50%+ off. If he’s finally getting back into the market, should you, too?
Brian has owned thousands of rental units across dozens of apartment complexes, bought and sold 500+ single-family homes, and seems to innately know the time to buy, the time to sell, and, as he puts it, the time to sit on the beach. Brian is seeing seller pressure start to peak across a specific type of investment property—loans are coming due, and banks are forcing owners’ hands. This is the opportunity we’ve all been waiting for.
In today’s episode, Brian explains how to get in front of these deals before other investors, the sector seeing the biggest discounts (50%+ off), and what small, single-family investors should do now to capitalize on the growing opportunity everyone seems to be ignoring.
Heaven in 2027 for investors? Brian’s been saying it for years—looks like he’s about to be proven right.
