In this episode, Jonathan Greene shares his vision for approaching real estate investing in 2026 with clarity, intention, and discipline. He begins by emphasizing the foundational role of mental health, why no investment strategy will work if your mindset, boundaries, and personal well-being aren’t in place first. Jonathan’s own habits, from mindfulness to strict schedule protection, demonstrate how aligning your internal world leads to better decisions and a calmer investing experience.
He also outlines why consistency is the theme of the year ahead. By carving out focused daily time to research your market, study hot sheets, and monitor your asset class, you quickly build mastery. Jonathan explains how these micro habits compound over time, making you the informed investor who’s always prepared for opportunities.
Finally, he explores midterm rentals as a powerful diversification tool within multifamily properties. Mixing long-term, midterm, and short-term rentals under one roof gives investors flexibility, reduces risk, and expands income possibilities, all while keeping options open as the market shifts.
In this episode, you will hear:
-Why mental health must come before any investing
-How consistency becomes your unfair advantage in 2026
-Why daily market research builds unmatched confidence
-How to combine rental strategies within a multifamily property
