Dear Reader,

They’re stealing it right out from under you.

Not with guns. Not with masks. They’re using something far more powerful.

Cash. And a crisis you’re not supposed to see.

My rich dad taught me one thing. Pay attention to where the money flows. Not the noise. Not the news. The money.

Right now, the money is flowing into dirt. But not for you.

 And the people you elected to protect you are driving the getaway car.

I saw this coming. Years ago. People called me crazy. They’re not calling me crazy now.

A home builder in Virginia, a guy named Steve Alloy, was getting ready to build 516 new homes. 

A nice little project. The American Dream in action. Then he noticed something odd. The land around him wasn’t being bought by other builders.

It was being snapped up by Microsoft. Google. Amazon.

Big Tech.

Why? Data centers. The giant, humming warehouses that power artificial intelligence. 

The cloud. Every photo you upload, every movie you stream. They need land. Lots of it. And they’re willing to pay prices that make your head spin.

That builder? He learned the new rules of the game. Fast. He had bought a chunk of land for about $50 million. 

A few years later, Amazon came knocking. They wanted it for data centers. They paid him $700 million.

Think about that. A $650 million profit. For doing nothing but holding the right asset at the right time. 

He didn’t build a single house on it. He just sold the dirt.

This is the game, you see. It’s not about building homes for families. It’s not about community. 

It’s about who can write the biggest check for an asset. And you, the average person, can’t compete. 

You were never meant to.

I’ve said it for decades. Your house is not an asset. 

People get angry when I say that. They don’t understand financial literacy. They think a mortgage is an investment.

An asset puts money in your pocket. A liability takes money out. Your house takes money out. 

Mortgages. Taxes. Insurance. Maintenance. Now, it’s a bigger liability than ever.

Why? Because the very ground your house sits on is now a target.

In Illinois, a company bought an entire 55-home subdivision. Paid nearly a million dollars per house. 

Then they knocked them all down. To build three massive data centers.

They didn’t see homes. They saw an obstacle. An obstacle to a bigger payday. 

In Texas, land near Dallas that was $40,000 an acre three years ago? It’s now fetching over $350,000 an acre. 

A home builder can’t make that work. The numbers don’t add up. But for a tech giant with a market cap in the trillions? It’s a rounding error.

This is the invisible force strangling the housing market. It’s not just interest rates. It’s a supply problem.

A supply problem created by a tsunami of cash from the wealthiest companies in the world. 

They are outbidding everyone. For land. For labor. For concrete and electricians. 

They’re even driving up your energy bills to power their server farms.

They are pricing you out of your future.

And where are the politicians in all this? The ones who promise to make housing affordable? 

They’re taking the money.

In Prince William County, Virginia—the epicenter of this boom—data-center-connected donors are some of the largest contributors to the local supervisors. 

One former supervisor, Jeanine Lawson, admitted it. “Money influences, especially a lot of money,” she said. 

She took their money. She also said she “misread” her constituents, who would “rather have homes than data.” 

She lost her next election. Too little, too late.

They create rules to “protect” rural land from housing. That just concentrates all the development in one small area. 

It creates a feeding frenzy. Data centers, warehouses, and home builders all fighting for the same scraps. 

Guess who wins? The one with the deepest pockets. Every time.

They’ll tell you it’s about jobs and tax revenue. And it is.

But that tax revenue comes at a cost. The cost is the death of the single-family home. 

The cost is a generation of renters. 

The cost is a future where you own nothing. 

And you’re not supposed to be happy about it.

So what do you do? You get smarter. You stop playing their game.

The rules have changed. The idea of buying a home, paying it off for 30 years, and retiring happy is a fairy tale. 

It was always a fairy tale designed to keep you in the Rat Race, but now it’s a dangerous one.

You have to see the world for what it is. A world of assets and liabilities. A world of producers and consumers.

These tech companies are producers. They are building assets that generate billions in cash flow. 

The people protesting the data centers? The people hoping to buy a home in these areas? They are being forced to be consumers. 

With fewer and fewer choices.

Don’t be the person holding a sign that says “Grow Tomatoes, Not Data Centers.” 

Be the person who owns the land where they have to grow the tomatoes. Or build the data centers.

My rich dad didn’t get rich by working for money. He got rich by having his assets work for him. 

He understood that the most valuable skill is not what you learn in school, but your ability to see where the cash is flowing and get there first.

Look for the assets. The real assets. The ones that have cash flow. 

The ones that can’t be printed or deleted. 

The ones that the rich and powerful are quietly accumulating while you’re worried about your mortgage.

They’re buying up the dirt. Maybe you should too.

P.S. In a bombshell interview, Elon Musk declared that AI and robotics are "the only thing" that can solve America's $38 trillion debt crisis. He predicts it will happen within three years. One Wall Street veteran has identified a single fund at the center of this AI buildout - and you can get in for less than $20.
