GI352: Real Estate vs. Small Business: Diversifying into Both with Dr. Jason Balara

If you think real estate is the best way to build passive income… you might be missing a huge piece of the puzzle.
In this episode of the Global Investors Podcast, Dr. Jason Balara breaks down the real difference between investing in multifamily real estate and acquiring small businesses — and why combining both could be the smarter strategy for long-term wealth.
We go beyond the typical “passive income” narrative and talk about what actually happens when markets shift, cash flow slows down, and investors are forced to adapt.
You’ll learn:
- Why real estate cash flow is often slower than expected
- How small businesses can generate faster income
- The biggest mistake investors make with leverage and debt
- How to balance cash flow vs long-term appreciation
- What changed after interest rates disrupted the market
- How experienced investors really think about risk
If you're trying to decide where to put your money, this conversation will challenge your assumptions.
