When there's fear in the market...

We’ve all seen the headlines: S&P down, Dow down, rents falling, the office sector taking a beating, interest rates climbing, the list goes on. The truth is, media outlets are businesses, and what sells is drama and conflict.

But real estate investing should be the opposite. It’s not about panic or headlines. It’s about fundamentals, patience, and long-term strategy.

Real estate has been around since the first Neanderthal claimed the cave closest to food and water. It’s not going anywhere. Just as currencies lose value over time and governments inevitably disappoint, real estate remains a proven vehicle for wealth creation. (And yes, the grease gun is always empty when you need it, if you’ve got employees, you know exactly what that means.)

You’ve probably heard the quote, “90% of millionaires made their wealth through real estate.” It’s often attributed to Andrew Carnegie. Maybe it’s true, maybe not, but the underlying message is. Nearly every wealthy individual owns real estate in some capacity. Just look at Bill Gates, now the largest farmland owner in the U.S. It’s not because he enjoys hobby farming.

We everyday investors should take notice. Maybe not all the tactics or headlines, but the patterns. Real wealth is built through patience, small smart decisions, and consistent action.

At Legacy Way Holdings, we believe deeply in buying and holding sub-institutional multifamily assets. We do it to build lasting wealth, not just for ourselves, but for our investors. Our mission is to help others buy back their time so they can invest more in their families, their communities, and the causes that matter.

We don’t just want to grow portfolios. We want to help change lives with the returns. Let’s build something that lasts—together.
