Short monologue advising when to prioritize capital preservation versus capital growth, using real estate market cycles as the main example. Speaker argues that in expansionary phases (e.g., buying real estate in 2002) it makes sense to pursue yield and aggressive growth, whereas in later-cycle conditions (about 10–11 years later) one should shift toward capital preservation and defense. The guidance is practical and cycle-driven rather than universal.

Capital preservation versus capital growth. Can you speak on that a little bit? Absolutely. So if you have the right maps, there are times where chasing yields and capital growth is more important than capital preservation. For example, if you went out in and bought real estate in 2002, that was a great time to chase yields and be aggressive and play offense and try and grow your portfolio. And then as that cycle kind of moved along, then you start to switch a little bit more from the offense. You know, the cycle kind of repeats itself where we're at now 10, 11 years later, playing more, a little bit more defense. There's still deals out there, but you're playing a little bit more defense than overly aggressive just offense all the time. And I think that's very important for folks to understand because it might make a huge difference in the trajectory of your life as far as like investments and growing your capital.
