BiggerPockets Podcast 500: Robert Kiyosaki: America’s ‘Rich Dad’ Sees a Real Estate Crash Coming

Robert Kiyosaki is arguably the most influential author in the finance, real estate, and investing space. His book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, has sold over thirty million copies and has been translated into forty different languages across forty different countries. Since its inception in 2002, Rich Dad Poor Dad has become almost every investor’s favorite book, prompting them to get out of the rat race, pursue financial independence, and teach them everything Robert’s “Rich Dad” taught him.

Robert has seen numerous housing cycles, including crashes, booms, and busts. His knowledge of micro and macroeconomics is astounding (to say the least) and he has some strong predictions for the future of real estate investing and the global economy as a whole. We talk about capitalism, marxism, communism, inflation, debt, assets, liabilities, and everything in between. This episode is not only crucial for anyone who is a fan of Robert’s books, board games, and videos but anyone who truly wants to learn the game of real estate.
