Creating Wealth Real Estate Investing with Jason Hartman

Jason Hartman and his mom take this Christmas Eve to evaluate how the United States was able to go an entire decade without going into a recession. This is something that has never been done before, so why did it happen now? The two listen to a CNBC story and break down each of the points: sometimes agreeing, sometimes pointing out flaws in logic.

Then to cap off the episode, Jason's mom discusses her recent 3 day property tour of the Space Coast and how it reminds her a little bit of California.
