Episode 123
Is now the right time to buy real estate or to hold cash?
In this episode, Tait Duryea and Ryan Gibson sit down with Hunter Thompson, founder of Asym Capital and host of Cash Flow Connections, to unpack today’s real estate market. They cover cycles, debt structures, the COVID impact, rising interest rates, and why current distress is more about financing than fundamentals. Whether you’re an LP wondering how to vet a deal or a high-income professional looking for the next big move, this conversation offers clarity on where we stand in 2025 and what smart investors should do next.
Hunter Thompson is a real estate investor, author, and host of the Cash Flow Connections podcast. With 15 years of experience and billions in transactions, he’s built a reputation as a sharp student of economics and a hands-on operator. From launching Asym Capital to navigating the toughest market cycles, Hunter shares how debt, demographics, and timing shape opportunities for passive investors and active operators alike.
