The Good, bad, and the truth about real estate investing!
Don’t let the name fool you. We’re not here to be negative. We’re here to be real pull back the curtain and show you what’s behind those highlight reels.
I’m Kristi Kandel: RE developer & investor. My cohost Erik Stenbakken, and I are bringing you the unfiltered stories behind the deals. The ones you don’t see on social media.
And the wisdom that only comes from actually living it.
Because real estate isn’t all private jets and passive income.
Sometimes it’s evictions and 3 a.m. plumbing disasters.
And we’re here for all of it.
What happens when the podcast built on telling the truth… tells you its own truth?
In this milestone Episode 50, we sat down in person for the very first time and peeled back the curtain on everything. The wins, the wounds, the lessons, and the twist no one saw coming. This isn’t just a recap. This is the capstone. The closing chapter of The Real Estate Pessimist Podcast. And wow… it hit us harder than we expected.
We talk about why we launched this thing in the first place, why it mattered so much, and why ending it now is actually the most honest, aligned move we could make. You’ll hear what this podcast taught us about investing, about people, about ourselves… and about how to build a life you’re actually proud to live inside of.
After a year of stories, wrecks, rebuilds, and belly laughs, we’re giving you the truth behind the truth-tellers.
