Most people believe building real wealth through real estate is only for the lucky, the wealthy, or those who timed the market perfectly.

In this episode, we break down why that belief is holding so many families back.

We unpack the biggest myths around buying, investing, and waiting for the “right time,” and reveal what successful families actually do differently when it comes to real estate.

We’re joined by Jarett Kitaoka, the Ihara Team’s top producing agent, who brings real, on-the-ground insight from working with buyers, sellers, and investors across Hawaii every day.

You’ll learn:
• Why waiting is often more expensive than acting
• Why you don’t need perfect timing or 20 percent down
• How real estate helps you build, protect, and pass on wealth
• Practical strategies families are using today to create clarity and confidence

Whether you’re renting, owning, or sitting on an underperforming property, this episode will challenge how you think about real estate and show you a clearer path forward.
