Robert Kiyosaki issues a dire warning but says the crash is the “best time to get rich.” Here’s the biggest bargain he’s seeing right now

Airbnb Inc. is in the spotlight. On September 5, New York City implemented what Airbnb described as a “de facto ban” on the short-term rental platform.

The number of short-term listings on Airbnb in New York City, one of the platform’s top markets, has dropped significantly. And according to “Rich Dad Poor Dad” author Robert Kiyosaki, a big change is on the horizon in the real estate landscape.

“Airbnb is causing the real estate market to crash,” he said in a recent post on X, formerly Twitter.

While a crash in property prices can have devastating consequences for homeowners, Kiyosaki believes it could represent an opportunity for potential buyers.

“If you’re looking for a new home, your halcyon days are just around the corner. The same goes for rental properties,” he wrote. “The best time to get rich is a crash.”

The famous author has long been a fan of precious metals such as gold and silver, which have served as a store of value for thousands of years.

Unlike fiat money, which can be produced in unlimited quantities by central banks, precious metals are inherently scarce, making them a valuable hedge against inflation.

As Kiyosaki pointed out, silver also plays a central role in both the solar and electric vehicle industries due to its unique conductivity properties.

The story goes on

“Silver is the second most used commodity after oil. Silver has been money for centuries. Who can’t afford a silver coin, but most people prefer to save fake dollars. Sad,” the author wrote.

Investors can easily access the gray metal. There are silver exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mining companies that could benefit from higher silver prices.

However, in an interview earlier this year, Kiyosaki said that he is “staying away” from precious metals ETFs because he doesn’t want to have “counterparty risk.” Instead, he prefers physical gold bars.
