Why is right now the best time to invest
I often hear David Greene say on the podcast that he believes that right now is one of the best times to buy real estate as an investment. I wanted to ask why that is because the price to buy real estate right now is very high and the interest rate is also continuing to rise right now. So why would right now be one the best time to buy?

I think what he is trying to get at is that waiting to buy real estate will only delay wealth creation and more than anything trying to get people to take action.
Goes back to the concept:
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, while the second-best time is today.
