JF 4044: Authenticity Over Clickbait, Generational Funds Myths and Infinite Banking Exposed with Ash Patel

On this week’s episode of Best Ever CRE, Ash Patel goes full-send on authenticity in real estate and social media, calling out clickbait growth hacks and the hollow vanity metrics behind them. He unpacks why “generational funds” and decade-long holds often mask weak deals, and why infinite banking is just expensive life insurance dressed up with fancy marketing. Ash also takes aim at sloppy capital raising, urges investors to prioritize net worth over door count or passive-income theatrics, and shares how being real on LinkedIn helped him move capital quickly. The throughline is simple and spicy: authenticity wins, and anything less will cost you.
