I really love bizarre facts and well, roadside attractions. I know, it’s weird, but what can I say!
I recently came across some real estate stats that might surprise you—and could even change how you invest.
Check these out:
34% of all U.S. homes are owned free & clear – These homeowners have no mortgage, making them prime candidates for seller financing. (I’ve bought a lot of homes this way and have even gotten 0% financing)
27% of all U.S. homes have an assumable mortgage – With rising interest rates, taking over a low-rate loan could be a game-changer. Assumable loans makes it much easier to cash flow properties in 2025.
1 in 3 home purchases are made in cash – Investors and savvy buyers are skipping traditional financing to move faster and get better deals.
There are over 17 million vacant homes in the U.S. – That’s a lot of opportunity sitting on the market for the right investor. Learning how to find these homes and their owners can put $10-20,000 in your pocket in less than 90 days!
90% of ALL millionaires own real estate – No surprise here, but a great reminder that real estate builds long-term wealth, offers great tax benefits and cash flow, PLUS appreciation! Investing in hard assets is something that millionaires do.
These are just a few of the insights that smart investors are leveraging to find deals and build cash flow.

And, as far as roadside attractions go, I highly recommend a trip to Casey, IL, the little town with BIG Things. There are a littany of world record BIG things there, such as: The world’s largest rocking chair, the world’s largest windchime, the world’s largest mailbox and the list goes on and on. It’s a fun afternoon exploring this precious little town and finding these LARGE things.
