Episode Description

Welcome back to Radical Wealth Plan, hosted by Paul Mark Morris and brought to you by Entrepreneur Media. Today I’m joined once again by Merse Kollo — a top developer agent who helps investors find deals that crush the average returns you’ll ever see on Wall Street. We break down the real numbers behind real estate versus the S&P 500, why 91% of stock investors underperform, and how developers routinely get 70% or higher cash-on-cash returns. From leverage and control to tax advantages and 1031 exchanges, this episode is a full breakdown of why real estate doesn’t just build wealth — it beats the market by a mile.
