If you make good money, you already know saving alone is not enough.
You probably also know you do not want another job. You are not interested in tenants, toilets, or learning real estate the hard way. You want to understand where your money goes before you commit it.
The Cash Poor, Asset Rich Podcast is for high earners with extra cash who want a simpler way to invest in real estate, reduce taxes, and avoid costly mistakes without becoming landlords.
Hosted by Mickael Gibrael and Amer Batal, each episode breaks down real estate investing in a way that's easy to understand, practical to apply, and grounded in real-world experience.
Mickael asks the questions most investors are thinking but rarely ask. Amer works inside real estate deals and explains how investment decisions, risk, and opportunities actually play out over time.
Together, they discuss:
• Real estate syndication
• Passive investing
• Asset building strategies
• Wealth creation through real assets
• Deal evaluation
• Risk management
• Investor mindset
• Tax-efficient investing
• Common investing mistakes
No hype. No urgency. No deal pitching.
Just clear conversations for people who want to build income-producing assets, make smarter investment decisions, and think like long-term investors.
New episodes every Wednesday.
