On The Market

Are real estate syndications dead? Some multifamily syndicators are making capital calls and hiding information from investors who anxiously wait (and pray) for their money to be returned. A lot is going wrong, so should you pause investing in real estate syndications for now, or should you write them off entirely? Brian Burke, who saw it coming and sold almost everything before prices fell, is on today to give us his answer. Joining him is a fellow syndication investor and BiggerPockets CEO, Scott Trench, who’s had his fair share of syndication headaches over the past few years. We’re going back in time, talking about what exactly went wrong for multifamily syndications, why we saw a rise in untrustworthy/inexperienced syndicators entering the market, and why multifamily specifically is taking the majority of the headwinds. We’re also sharing the numbers on the almost unbelievable amount of multifamily investors who have short-term loans coming due, all at a time when interest rates are still high and values are close to (if not at) the bottom. We’ll even talk about our own failed deals and whether or not we’d continue investing in syndications. In This Episode We Cover Real estate syndications, general partners, and limited partners explained Why the multifamily real estate market is a “traffic collision” in 2024 Areas of the country with the highest/lowest risk for real estate syndications The astonishing amount of distressed investors with short-term loans coming due Our own failed investments and whether we’d still invest in syndications When multifamily real estate investments could finally rebound and become investable again And So Much More!

The Fed’s recent rate cut signaled something clear about the US economy, but what are they trying to say? With a bolder rate cut than many of us expected, homebuyers, business owners, and real estate investors are seeing the light at the end of the high-rate tunnel, where borrowing money and buying houses could come at a lower cost. But with markets already anticipating a rate cut, did the recent cut even really matter? Today, Federal Reserve reporter from The New York Times, Jeanna Smialek, shares her thoughts on what the Fed move meant after studying them full-time for over a decade. Jeanna believes that the Fed feels confident, even if this recent rate cut was overdue. Inflation has seen a substantial dropoff, but on the other hand, unemployment is rising, and Americans are getting nervous. Did the Fed move fast enough? Jeanna also shares the future rate cuts we can expect from the Fed, with more potentially coming this year and a sizable series of cuts already lined up for 2025. How significant will the cuts be, and will they be enough to stop unemployment from getting out of control? How will rent prices and home prices move due to more rate cuts? We’re answering it all in this episode! In This Episode We Cover The Fed’s recent 0.50% rate cut explained and their forecast for 2025 rate cuts The signal the Fed is sending by making a bigger rate cut (and preparing for more to come) Why the Fed decided NOW was the time to finally cut rates (and whether it was too late) Inflation updates and good news for the slowing of growing prices Housing affordability and whether or not these rate cuts will help homebuyers/renters And So Much More!

Your real estate business could fail if you don’t do this right. We’ve seen it happen time and time again. A business finds success, starts growing at lightning speed to capture all the demand, and then burns out, leaving the business owner or investor (i.e., YOU) cleaning up the pieces of spectacular debris. Growing your business can be a HUGE mistake, but scaling it rarely is. Today, we’re teaching you how to do just that—scaling your business to new heights so you can work less, your team (or future team) can accomplish more, and your wealth compounds in the background. And one person on the On the Market panel knows how to scale a business arguably better than anyone else—Kathy Fettke! Today, Kathy and her husband, Rich, are on to teach you how to start Scaling Smart (which is also the name of their new book!). Kathy and Rich touch on why once-giants like WeWork failed so fast, how overgrowing can kill everything you’ve worked for, how to start hiring (and who to hire first), and the “never enough” trap that can keep you working for years (or decades) longer than you should. Plus, they even coach Henry and James on their own scaling struggles! In This Episode We Cover Why “scaling” (NOT growing) your real estate business is the smartest way to build wealth The thirteen questions that will stop you from growing too fast (and failing) Defining your “why” and the reason most investors burn out even after building wealth When to start hiring employees, and what tasks you should outsource to them Incentivizing employees to work hard for you while they build their own financial freedom Being a “humble leader” and realizing that you’re NOT the best person for every job And So Much More!

The US economy isn’t doing as well as you think—it’s doing even better. While mainstream media outlets and grocery prices may make you feel that the US economy is struggling, the data points to something different. Inflation is getting under control, the Fed is about to lower rates, recession risks could be shrinking, and a long-term growth trend is emerging. The American economy is leading what Joe Brusuelas calls the “global recovery.” Named 2023 “Best Rate Forecaster” by Bloomberg, Joe has an unmatched view of the economy at a macro and microeconomic level. Today, we’re talking to Joe about the state of the US economy and why it’s outperforming global players like China. Joe shares the “secret sauce” that is helping the US take center stage in global economic growth, which could keep us on course to see continued economic success for years to come. But, with China’s economy showing cracks, the Middle East conflict getting more tense by the day, and the risk of recession still top of mind, what’s next for the US economy? Joe gives his economic outlook and shares the most significant risks the US economy could face, plus why he sees a BIG Fed rate cut coming in 2025. In This Episode We Cover The state of the US economy and why we’re seeing such unmatched economic growth The “secret sauce” that makes the American economy particularly efficient China’s growing economic troubles and whether it could bleed into the US economy Fed rate cut predictions and why we may see a BIG drop in rates by this time next year Joe’s US economic forecast and the regions of the US real estate investors MUST watch Commercial real estate risks and whether we should still be worried about “the wall” of maturing debt And So Much More!

Are we finally at the end stages of this harsh housing market? With housing inventory increasing, mortgage rates steadily falling, and inflation cooling, we might be returning to a much healthier time to buy a house. But one of these improvements we’ve seen over the past year could begin reversing, and that’s creating some interesting future scenarios. One that even we’re surprised to hear as we bring on top housing market analyst Logan Mohtashami. Logan has referred to 2022-2023’s housing market as “savagely unhealthy,” but he’s a bit more optimistic now that we’re seeing relief. While we’re still not at 2019 inventory levels (which were already low), we’re slowly getting there. However, we could see the positive inventory trend start to reverse, leading to even more affordability problems for homebuyers. So what has to happen for affordability to see meaningful improvement? Today, Logan is giving us his take on housing inventory, where mortgage rates could be heading, and why we may NOT see a spike in home prices even if rates fall significantly (something most analysts are bullish on). In This Episode We Cover Logan’s housing market, mortgage rate, and inventory forecast Why our increasing housing inventory could reverse once rates start to fall The one thing holding affordability back and whether Logan has hopes of it improving Why watching the labor market and jobs numbers will help you predict mortgage rates Were we wrong about the “lower rates = higher home prices” premise?

No matter who wins your vote during the presidential debates, odds are, the housing market will still have its problems. We’ve got high building costs, low inventory, and slow bureaucratic procedures that stop homes from being built or renovated. So, what would WE do if we were in charge of the country’s economic policies, and how would we use them to make a better housing market? Welcome to the 2024 On the Market debates, where Dave, Henry, James, and Kathy duke it out over who has the best housing policy, economic plan, and…presidential slogan. We’re putting our plans out in the open for you to vote on. Dave is focusing on construction prices, Henry wants to “Make Housing Affordable Again,” Kathy is rallying to reduce government spending, and James wants to fast-track building and renovations so housing inventory can grow. Who has the best housing market policy, and are there any you’d personally want to see on the ballot come the next election? Leave a review and let us know your thoughts, or give your take over on our YouTube channel! In This Episode We Cover Four economic policies we’d put into place TODAY to save the housing market Tax breaks for investors and builders and why the government MUST incentivize affordable housing Speeding up permitting times with a plan that could help those who can’t afford home repairs Why we NEED more Americans learning the trades before it’s too late Are prefab homes the future of affordable housing in America?

How will the Trump and Harris economic plans affect your investing? One candidate is looking to increase affordable housing and give homebuyers a break on their first property. The other plans to keep taxes low so you can save more money. Both are concerned about inflation and rising costs, but will either of their plans correct the national budget deficit we constantly find ourselves in? We’re digging into the 2024 election economics on this BiggerNews episode with economist Joel Naroff. First, we’re discussing what happens economically during elections as Americans brace for a new president. Then, we dive into Harris’ economic plan and stance on inflation, cost of living, and affordable housing. She also has her eye on raising taxes for high-income earners, but will she bring things back to the pre-Trump era? Next, the Trump economic plan. Just like in his presidency, Trump plans to reduce taxes even more, which could help those on social security and those who make their income from tips. The question is, will this loss of tax revenue put too much of a dent in our government’s budget and push us further into a deficit? Could Trump’s pro-tariff stance help stimulate local manufacturing and increase tax revenue from imported goods? We’re answering it all on this BiggerNews! In This Episode We Cover Trump vs. Harris’ economic plans explained and how they may affect investors More affordable housing and Harris’ call to build millions of more housing units Trump’s plan to push foreign goods out of the US with higher import tariffs Rolling back Trump’s tax cuts and how Harris could increase taxes on corporations and high-earners Social security income and the benefit (but high cost) of lowering taxes on it How both of these plans could affect the national budget deficit And So Much More!

One startup is aiming to end traditional real estate commissions for good. Jobs numbers get their most significant downgrade in over a decade, forcing the Fed to rethink its rate-cutting schedule. And if that wasn’t enough, home sales fell in a historically hot month of the housing market. But are the expert investors worried? In this headlines episode, we’re sharing the latest news affecting the housing market and what YOU can do now to still make money in real estate, no matter the headline hype. First, we’re talking about the latest home sales numbers. With a slow summer homebuying season, we may return to a “balanced” market where investors can thrive if they know what they’re doing. What could bring more demand to the market? Lower mortgage rates. And with the latest revision on job numbers, downgrading job growth significantly, the Fed may be forced to pivot and make bigger moves when cutting rates. Will it happen? Lastly, we’ll discuss the new state of real estate agent commissions. After the groundbreaking NAR lawsuit that put agent commissions in limbo, a new startup has set out to offer flat-fee real estate agent services in an à la carte fashion. Will paying just a few hundred dollars get you the level of agent experience you need to close better real estate deals? We’re discussing it all in this episode! In This Episode We Cover The new real estate startup that could put traditional agent commissions in jeopardy What investors should know as home sales drop and whether it's an opportunity Planning for mortgage rates to fall and how to build in more investing upside if they do The latest job numbers REVISION putting our economy in a different spot than we thought Whether or not the Fed will change course now that job numbers don’t look as strong And So Much More!

Recession fears are increasing. The stock market has taken substantial hits, housing inventory is climbing, and bank account balances are starting to fall. So, with more economic turmoil, we have to ask: will the housing market crash? And if we get a housing market crash, how bad (or good) will it be for investors? Could we see a 2008-style selloff, or should we be more prepared for small dips worth taking advantage of? Today, we’re asking two top investors these questions, one of whom literally wrote the book on Recession-Proof Real Estate Investing. J Scott and James Dainard join us on today’s episode to discuss market crash predictions, scenarios, and opportunities for real estate investors. Both J and James experienced the 2008 housing market crash—an economic event almost impossible to forget. But is 2024 shaping up for a sharp decline like 2008, or will we simply see a slower real estate market like most people had expected when interest rates began to rise? If the market DOES crash, what should you look for to take advantage, and how do you ensure you don’t get caught biting off more than you can chew? J and James break down their game plans if prices fall and why buying now could set you up for wealth ten years from now, IF you can handle the “fear” of buying when others are running from real estate. In This Episode We Cover New housing market “crash” predictions and how low prices could go Why economic “fear” is rising now, and the recession indicators that are going off Rising housing inventory and why experienced investors expected this already The difference between the 2008 housing market crash and today What could cause a housing crash and how to know it’s time to buy The immense opportunities for investors that 99% of Americans will pass up And So Much More!

Are we in a recession? A lot of people certainly think so. After a surprisingly accurate recession indicator went off weeks ago, more and more Americans have begun to believe that we’re already facing an economic downturn. The problem? We rarely know we’re in a recession until we’re out of one. So, how can we be sure we’re in a recession and not just seeing a boomerang effect from the hot post-pandemic economy? For many Americans, it sure FEELS like a recession. Unemployment has gradually increased, the cost of living has risen significantly over the past few years, and men may be buying fewer pairs of underwear (that’s actually a recession indicator). So, if we are in a recession, what should real estate investors do now to prepare so they don’t get the rug pulled on them before it’s too late? Do you sit tight or start contemplating selling properties? Dave, Henry, and Kathy all share what they’d do in a recession, the not-so-obvious signs of a recession (or a recession in your specific industry), and whether or not they believe we’ll be in a recession over the next year. If the worst has yet to come, you’ll be able to spot the signs of a coming recession after this episode. In This Episode We Cover Whether or not we’re in a recession right now (and signs of one) The one recession indicator going off that’s pointing to an economic downturn Signs that we’re already in a recession and what we would do during one How to deleverage yourself from riskier properties if the economy starts to slow Whether or not a recession is still in the cards over the next year Why it may be time to start saving once your husband/brother/nephew stops wearing new underwear And So Much More!

Mortgage rates are falling, but the Fed hasn’t made any rate cuts yet. What’s the deal? We’re explaining it all in this August mortgage rate update with repeat guest and lender-friend of the show, Caeli Ridge. Caeli fills us in on today’s mortgage interest rates, why rates are moving without any federal funds rate cuts happening, what could cause rates to go even lower, and whether paying points on your mortgage makes sense in the current market. Good news for investors: interest rates are getting into the high sixes for some rental property loans, but lower rates aren’t always a good thing. With the economy slowing down and inflation (thankfully) seeing some significant progress, unemployment is rising, and better interest rates may come at the cost of a worse economy. But this isn’t a surprise, no matter how unfortunate it is for many workers in today’s market. We’re getting Caeli’s take on the Fed’s next moves, today’s mortgage rates, and what’s in store for future rates. This is crucial commentary from a lender working on loan products for investors in today’s exact interest rate environment, and hearing her may change your next investing move. Dave also gives his opinion on the mortgage rates we could expect to see next year and whether buying or refinancing even makes sense now. In This Episode We Cover August 2024 mortgage rate updates and where investor interest rates are right now Why mortgage rates have been falling WITHOUT the Fed lowering their rates Paying mortgage points and whether or not it’s worth it if rates are continuing to fall The BIG uptick in refinancing and purchasing activity since rates began to fall Where Dave thinks mortgage rates could be next year And So Much More!

Kamala Harris has a plan to make it easier for first-time homebuyers to buy a house, but it comes at the expense of institutional investors. Eviction filings surge throughout the Sunbelt states, EVEN as apartment rent prices fall across all bedroom counts. And could commercial real estate’s struggles lead to you paying even higher property taxes? We’re getting into it all in today’s headlines show! First, we’re talking about Kamala Harris’ new proposal to kick Wall Street out of the single-family homebuying arena, potentially opening up space for first-time homebuyers to finally break out of renting. The proposal sounds promising, but is it too late to actually impact today’s housing market when institutional investors take up such a small amount of the single-family supply? We’re giving our takes on the new proposal. Apartment rent prices fall across all bedroom counts for the first time in years. But, even with seemingly improving rent affordability, eviction filings have surged across the South. Even with the rent drops, are tenants simply unable to pay such high prices for everything, rent included, in 2024? Lastly, we’re talking about how the decline in commercial real estate and office space has led to cities increasing property taxes, and by no small amount. In This Episode We Cover Whether Kamala Harris’ anti-Wall Street ownership proposal could work for homebuyers Why apartment rent prices are falling, and whether or not this will continue Single-family rents and why we AREN’T noticing them fall too The real reason evictions have seen such a spike across the Sunbelt states Commercial real estate-caused property tax hikes happening in THESE cities And So Much More!

New “broker fee” reform could help tenants save thousands of dollars when finding their next apartment or home to rent, but it could come at a significant cost to landlords. In big cities like Boston and New York, it’s not unusual for landlords to hire a broker to help bring in more potential tenants. The problem is that, unlike the rest of the United States, landlords in these cities DON’T have to pay the broker—the tenant does. But this isn’t some small fee. These broker fees range from eight to fifteen percent of the annual rent, and in pricey Boston or New York City, that could mean thousands of dollars in fees to move into a new place. We brought on StreetEasy Senior Economist Kenny Lee to explain why this antiquated system is still in place and whether or not the reform will go through and help renters. What are the economic implications for the rental market if these reforms are passed? Will this help renters, landlords, or both, and could it actually increase competition in already competitive markets by lowering the barrier to entry for finding a new rental? In This Episode We Cover Boston and NYC’s “broker fees” explained and why they’re so different from the rest of the US How the broker fee reform could change the rental market in big cities The cost of moving and how high broker fees restrict renters who are already struggling What broker fee reform could do to rental property demand in these big cities Broker fee negotiation and what the future looks like for landlords who have to pay these finder’s fees And So Much More!

We’re currently in a home insurance crisis. Everyone (except for Henry, apparently) is feeling the sting of home insurance prices rising significantly year after year. Some investors have seen their homes’ insurance costs double or triple over a few years. This is making it harder not only to protect your property but also to keep your cash flow. What do you do, and can anyone save us from this home insurance crisis? Today, we’re discussing something too big to ignore: your home insurance bill. Premiums are rising fast across coastal states and are starting to creep inland. In this episode, we’re talking about why home insurance prices have gone up so much and so quickly, the state governments actively working to get premium prices down, and what investors MUST do now to limit the price hikes coming down the road. We’re also exploring state-offered insurance programs that help homeowners whose policies have been dropped. Can the government come in and fix our insurance premium problems before it’s too late, or will rising prices lead to home price corrections as affordability suffers? In This Episode We Cover 2024’s home insurance crisis and why premium prices are rising so fast The states with the highest risk of insurance price hikes and what’s causing them Government intervention and how some states are trying to limit rising prices Whether or not higher insurance prices will cause home prices to correct in at-risk areas What investors must do NOW to keep their insurance premiums reasonable Whether people will start fleeing states with the highest insurance costs and move to more affordable areas And So Much More!

A couple of years ago, everyone was expecting an “Airbnbust,” where short-term rental investments would sit vacant, hosts would be forced to sell, and hotels would take the reigns as the leaders in hospitality. But that didn’t (exactly) happen. Instead, we got a slightly slower short-term rental market with fewer bookings, some more supply, and a slight dip in revenue for hosts. The short-term rental market is now reaching “equilibrium,” and demand is returning. So, what do hosts need to know now? Jamie Lane from AirDNA, the leading global short-term rental data and analytics company that tracks every listing on the market, is here to give us a mid-year update. Jamie talks about how the short-term rental market is returning to normal, why demand is starting to shoot back up all while prices are dropping, and the “cracks in the system” that could point to future short-term rental weakness. He points out the short-term rental markets with the most growth potential, the oversupplied ones seeing drops in demand, and why the European Airbnb scene, even with its regulations, is exploding. Plus, he’ll share the amenities and policy changes you can make NOW to get more bookings and what to look for BEFORE you buy in a new market. In This Episode We Cover A 2024 short-term rental market update (supply, demand, pricing, and threats) The short-term rentals seeing the least demand, and why this may be worrying for hosts “Fringe” markets that are performing even better than the traditionally popular markets Why hosts are seeing a drop in revenue and the markets with weak demand International travelers returning and the minor tweaks you can make to get more bookings Jamie’s forecast for the rest of the year and why he predicts demand will rise this fall And So Much More!

Why are developers ditching California NOW? Is commercial real estate still struggling, and what’s up with all those empty office buildings all over town? Does it seem like everyone is overpaying for properties nowadays? It’s not just you; we’ve been seeing it, too, but there’s a reason why they’re doing it. Today, we’re touching on hot topics from the BiggerPockets Forums and giving our takes on what investors are seeing in today’s housing market. First, everyone has another reason to bag on California real estate as developers decide to move out of the state, thanks to rising construction costs, long permitting times, and bureaucratic inefficiencies. But in a state with such massive appreciation and high rents, is it really the right move to make? Next, we’re back to the commercial real estate crash, specifically, the office investing space crash, as more and more buildings sit vacant. There’s one way to solve this, and doing so could make you a LOT of money. Who’s got the guts (and the money) to make something out of all those empty offices? Finally, we’re discussing WHY investors commonly overpay for properties and how they may be making money EVEN when you think their offers are ridiculous. Do you have an investing question? Ask it on the BiggerPockets Forums! In This Episode We Cover The developer departure from California and why builders are ditching the Golden State Changing regulations and how it’s getting harder to build rental units Office space’s continued struggles and the one way investors can solve this problem Overpaying for properties and why investors commonly offer over the ARV (after repair value) How to audit your construction/renovation costs to know if you’re throwing away money on your rehabs And So Much More!

Why is everyone ignoring this one severe housing market trend, what does a 2008 crash predictor think will happen in 2025, and why are homes starting to sit longer on the market, even with mortgage rates starting to fall? Are all the headlines pointing to housing market havoc or a return to normalization where homes aren’t flying off the market like they were just a few years ago? We’re getting into it all in this headlines episode as we touch on four of the top housing market stories from this week and give our opinions on whether they’re hype or not. First, a market-shifting trend has substantial side effects on the housing market. We’ve talked about this before, but many homebuyers are overlooking it. This trend could push people out of once-popular housing markets and into underrated areas that boast far more future-proofed benefits. What’s the trend we’re talking about? Tune in to find out! We’re also discussing the increase in average days on market (DOM), why homes are sitting for longer, and whether this is something to be concerned about. Think moving to Washington, Texas, or Florida will save you money due to no income taxes? Think again because there are some serious downsides to no-income-tax states most investors don’t think about. Finally, we’re analyzing a 2008 crash predictor’s 2025 forecast—could he be right again? In This Episode We Cover The one housing market trend hiding in plain sight that could become a considerable issue soon A 2008 crash predictor’s take on the 2025 housing market and whether home prices will decline Why so many people are reversing on the “great reshuffling” and moving away from sunny states A sizable bump in homes sitting on the market and why it’s taking longer to sell The serious downsides of buying/investing in a no-income-tax state And So Much More!

One of the most reliable recession indicators, the “Sahm Rule,” just issued a “yellow flag” for the economy. Even now, with low unemployment, high spending, and overall economic growth, we aren’t protected from a recession or economic downturn. Will the US economy be able to dodge this recession, and will the Fed be fast enough to save us from falling into a state of high unemployment and meager economic growth? The Washington Post’s Heather Long joins us to share the latest data on the labor market, unemployment rate, Fed rate cuts, and why this particular recession indicator is going off now. First, we talk about why there is so much positivity in the job market and why most people won’t notice the cracks starting to form. With tech jobs getting slashed and government jobs growing, are we moving in the right direction? Heather also explains a strong recession indicator, the “Sahm Rule,” and why it’s throwing up a “yellow flag” warning even with the hot job market. Finally, we’ll touch on interest rates, whether the Fed will actually come through with a rate cut this year, and how fast future rate cuts could come after the first. In This Episode We Cover The unemployment-based recession indicator that’s throwing up “yellow flags” Which industries are hiring and which are firing in 2024 What the “unemployment rate” really means, and why most people get this wrong Immigration’s HUGE effect on unemployment and how it may be skewing the numbers The Fed’s tricky decision to make and whether rate cuts could help this situation And So Much More!

A new nationwide rent control proposal could cap rent increases for any landlord with a certain amount of properties. But will it actually pass? How would landlords survive when rents can only marginally increase each year while expenses continue to see double-digit percentage price growth? We’re getting into this story and a few more hard-hitting housing market headlines on today’s episode! First, we’re talking about the new rent cap proposal coming straight from The White House. This could significantly affect anyone who owns a large real estate portfolio or plans to in the future. Is this proposal merely a grab for votes, or could it actually come to fruition? Next, great news for homebuyers, as mortgage rates fall once again, all while completed homes see a sizable boost. Is this a sign that a healthier housing market is to come? Why are international buyers fleeing the US housing market? Could this end up helping first-time homebuyers who have to fight off less competition? Finally, we talk about the twenty hottest housing markets that are seeing a BIG increase in home viewership. If you own a home in one of these markets, it might be time to consider selling. In This Episode We Cover The newest rent cap proposal that could stop landlords from raising rents higher than five percent each year Mortgage rates drop again, but are more rate cuts coming this year?

For the past four years, everyone, and we mean everyone, has been doing some form of home improvement. All your friends are redoing their kitchens, your spouse keeps asking when you can renovate the bathrooms, and your best friend just built their dream home office with—don’t get too excited—recessed lighting. This was the home renovation boom of the decade, and now, we could be at the tail end of it. With home improvement spending starting to dip, interest rates keeping homeowners from big projects, and labor costs still sky-high, what happens when enough demand leaves the market? Do material prices fall as manufacturers try to lure homeowners back in? Will labor costs soften with contractors waiting for work? We brought on The Wall Street Journal’s Ryan Dezember to get some answers. In today’s show, we discuss the boom and bust of lumber prices, why home renovations are starting to stall, what impact this could have on materials, and whether or not the home improvement spree will pick back up as new construction starts decline. If you’re planning a home renovation, you'll want to hear this episode before you begin. In This Episode We Cover An update on the home renovation industry and why demand is shrinking Labor costs and the factory-building boom that’s taking away all the contractors The surprisingly old age of most American homes and why so many renovations happened High interest rates and their effects on home improvement project spending Whether or not we’re already in the home renovation “slowdown” and what could happen next And So Much More!

Airbnb bans escalate, a “tsunami” could be coming for this real estate niche, and “sinking” cities lead to skyrocketing insurance prices. The housing market changes every week, so we’re here to break down the headlines and sift through the hype so you know what could impact YOU. Dave Meyer and the entire On the Market panel are here to discuss four of the top real estate-related news stories from this week. First, we discuss the commercial real estate credit crunch that could cause a “tsunami” in the office investing space. Next, one major European city will ban Airbnb by 2028 in an effort to give locals a better chance at buying their first home. Will it work, or is it just a move to get more votes? With the dust of the NAR settlement settling, homebuyers could face thousands in fees to work with an agent, but will this stop homebuying? Before we go over our last headline, make sure you’re standing on solid ground because “sinking” cities are becoming the new norm. Is your home slowly sliding off a cliff? If so, your insurance costs could be rising even higher. We’ll get into this story and the rest of the relevant real estate news on this episode! In This Episode We Cover A world without Airbnb and whether the newest ban could actually help homebuyers Another “tsunami” coming for real estate and whether there’s truth behind the hype Private equity’s new plan to gobble up even more real estate as one niche suffers More fees for homebuyers as agent commissions change, but will this have to be paid out of pocket? “Sinking” cities causing rising insurance costs and sliding home values And So Much More!

The mortgage industry has just been through one of its biggest booms and busts, but some tech-first, cost-saving innovations could improve things for borrowers after this current cycle. During the low-interest rate environment, transactions were at record highs as borrowers rushed to refinance or buy homes at rock-bottom rates. But, once interest rates shot up, the volume stopped, and those in the mortgage industry saw their incomes plummet. Many had to raise prices to keep the lights on, making originating a mortgage even more expensive for borrowers. But things are changing—for the better. Faith Schwartz from Housing Finance Strategies is here to unveil some of the groundbreaking changes the mortgage industry is making and how it could make getting a mortgage more accessible and cheaper for first-time homebuyers and investors. Faith even shares some new loan products we didn’t know about, from mortgages that help low-money-down borrowers to products that allow access to equity without refinancing or using a HELOC (home equity line of credit). With mortgage origination costs around a whopping $13,000, Faith walks through the new technology that could dramatically reduce this high price for borrowers and lenders. Plus, an AI and high-tech push from the government could completely flip this often archaic system. If you invest in real estate, want to invest, or work in a real estate-related service, this will seriously impact you! In This Episode We Cover Tech-first solutions that could make originating mortgages cheaper and faster The massive boom and subsequent bust that led to today’s struggling mortgage industry Why originating a loan is SO expensive, and the fees that could be eliminated in the future How the Federal government is creating new policies that help struggling buyers New loan products that can assist first-time homebuyers and those with untapped home equity And So Much More!

Zillow’s latest housing market forecast shows a decline in home prices over the next year after a very slow spring homebuying season. While spring is traditionally the hottest time of the housing market, with more sellers and buyers hitting the market at once, this year was stunted significantly. Will this trend continue as housing inventory remains at rock-bottom levels, or are things gradually improving, with a return to normalcy in sight? We’ve got Dr. Skylar Olsen, Chief Economist at Zillow, on to share the latest forecast and which markets could be in trouble. With mortgage rates still hovering around seven percent, homebuyers and sellers are stuck. Sellers don’t want to trade into a more expensive mortgage payment, and buyers can’t afford today’s median home price. As a result, some under-the-radar, affordable real estate markets are seeing home and rent prices increase, while some traditionally hot markets are already seeing price corrections. Where will the next correction hit, and which markets will have the most opportunity for real estate investors? Skylar explains it all, plus why Zillow updated their recent home price forecast to show a DROP in home values over the next year. In This Episode We Cover Zillow’s updated housing market forecast and why they’re predicting prices to drop The spring homebuying season’s “extra slowdown” and why buying/selling is so stunted Skylar’s 2025 housing market and mortgage rate predictions What happens when mortgage rates get cut, and whether this could fire up the housing market again The real estate markets seeing the most price corrections, plus hot markets Zillow is keeping an eye on Markets with the strongest rent growth (for single-family AND multifamily investors) And So Much More!

“Super cities” are seeing a massive comeback in demand—one that most investors thought was impossible. With work-from-home being scaled back by many major companies, returning to downtown is a no-brainer for high-paid employees. With more amenities than the suburbs, younger workers are being enticed back into the office. And who’s winning with all this boomeranging demand? You guessed it—office investors. We brought CBRE’s Richard Barkham back to give us the latest update on how cities and office investors are faring. Office investing has been heavily criticized over the past few years as vacancies exploded and tenant turnover became increasingly common. Office space was an easy target as remote work became the new norm. However, trends change, and Richard sees a massive investing opportunity in certain office space sectors. But which cities are worth investing in and around? What type of office investments are faring the best? And will we continue to see downtown demand rebound? We’ll get into it all in this episode of On the Market. Plus, stick around to hear Richard’s predictions on interest rate cuts, whether or not we’ll achieve a “soft landing,” and what investors must be looking at NOW to make significant gains over the next few years. In This Episode We Cover The cities seeing the biggest influx in demand and why Americans are moving back to downtown Why the “doom loop” scenario never came true, even though so many forecasters predicted it The one type of office investing that could see a massive surge in demand over the next two years Richard’s “number one investment strategy” of 2024-2025 that investors MUST look into How residential real estate investors can take advantage of the rising demand for downtown housing And So Much More!

When will housing prices drop? Will real estate prices go down, or are we stuck with ever-worsening affordability as home prices continue to rise? What’s the solution to affordable housing, and why can’t investors just build smaller, more affordable homes? Our panel of expert investors gets asked these questions all day, so in this episode, we’re taking the above questions and some others from the BiggerPockets Forums and throwing them at our seasoned investors to get their takes. First, we ask, “What would have to happen for home prices to drop?” Investor or first-time homebuyer, you’ve probably asked yourself this question. We’ll give an in-depth scenario of the exact supply and demand factors that could cause prices to finally fall. Next, how to create affordable housing and why investors might be the answer. With high home prices, is it better to buy and hold or flip houses in today’s market? Plus, the experts share exactly WHICH markets they see the most potential in today. Finally, you’ll get the pro flipper’s tips for comping properties in a market with barely any home sales. Do you have a question to ask the experts? Post it in the BiggerPockets Forums, and we may answer it on a future show! In This Episode We Cover What would cause home prices to fall and affordability to improve (and if it’s likely) The investor-friendly solution for affordable housing that could help you build wealth while providing much-needed housing Flipping vs. renting and what will make you the most money in today’s market The rarely talked about real estate markets with immense potential that we’d invest in today How to comp (compare) properties when the market is changing and there are limited home sales And So Much More!

Downward pressure on rent prices is causing a “cascade” effect across all unit types. Whether you live in a luxury apartment or budget-friendly multifamily building on a busy street, you’ve probably seen asking rents lowering around you with apartment concession offers in many leasing offices. With multifamily supply hitting “peak completions,” apartment operators have had to tackle rising vacancy rates by lowering rents. But this trend could be reversing soon, just as things were getting more affordable for renters. Jay Parsons, rental housing economist, spends much of his day searching through rental data to find trends pointing to what could happen next. We’ve brought him on to understand why rents are dropping, where they could be heading, and what happens now that multifamily construction is starting to pause. Jay speaks on the rebounding rental demand that’s starting to show, why our “oversupply” of multifamily could quickly become a shortage, which apartment classes are seeing significant rent price discounts, and whether or not these problems could spill over into the single-family rental market. Plus, Jay gives his outlook for the next few years on whether or not rent growth will reaccelerate as multifamily construction starts fall significantly. In This Episode We Cover A rental demand update and why rent prices are getting more affordable What’s causing the recent demand rebound in the multifamily rental market? Why our multifamily “oversupply” could quickly vanish and create a new problem Growing demand for single-family rentals and why these investors may be in a better position When rent growth could reaccelerate and supply could shrink once again One growing risk multifamily investors must be aware of when choosing a market And So Much More!

Will we finally get the rate cuts the Fed hinted at earlier this year? Has the job and housing market taken a big enough hit for us to still be concerned about inflation? And how are more Americans going mortgage-free during such economic uncertainty? The housing market is changing fast, but we’re here to break down all the latest data from recent headlines as we touch on inflation, rate cuts, housing market competition, foreclosure activity, and more! We know what you want to hear about—rate cuts. We’ll touch on the latest Fed update in our first headline, as the chance of a 2024 rate cut increases with last week’s promising inflation data release. This is good news for homebuyers but may make getting a job (or keeping one) challenging. What do we mean? We’ll explain it all at the start of the show. Next, housing competition begins to drop as inventory increases and homes sit on the market longer. Will this lead to a decrease in home prices over the next year? One top listing site believes so. With all this worry about mortgage rates, many Americans are going in the opposite direction as mortgage-free homeownership steadily increases. This could have long-lasting effects on housing inventory, but when will it hit? Finally, we touch on the increase in foreclosure activity and whether or not it’s a sign of a shaky housing market to come! In This Episode We Cover The Fed’s new rate cut prediction and how big the cut could be in 2024 Inflation rate updates and why financial markets celebrated last week How a spike in new listings could lead to lower competition and on-market houses sitting longer The steady increase in mortgage-free homeownership and what happens when these houses get inherited Why foreclosure activity is starting to rise, but it may not mean what you think And So Much More!

Multifamily sales are at the lowest point in the past four years. We haven’t seen transaction levels this low since the start of the pandemic and after the last housing crash. But, for buyers, this could point to some tremendous opportunities. With fewer sales could come higher cap rates, lower prices, and more profit per dollar spent on your next multifamily deal. The question is, how low will prices go, and when WILL be the right time to buy? Xander Snyder, Senior Commercial Real Estate Economist at First American, joins the show to give us the latest update on multifamily sales, prices, cap rates, and even a prediction for 2025. Xander strongly argues that multifamily price declines could be far from over. With buyers patiently waiting for sellers to drop their prices and the cost of capital still so high, motivated sellers must act quickly to get a buyer, which could mean more price cuts. We’ll also discuss why cap rates are expanding and how they’ve already jumped fifty percent in some markets. Plus, what could happen to rents as the “oversupply” of multifamily investments hits the market? An even better question is what happens when all that supply gets used up? We’re answering it all in this episode. In This Episode We Cover 2024 multifamily transaction volume updates and why sales are so low Cap rate expansion and why this is great news for buyers (but NOT for sellers) Why multifamily price drops aren’t even close to finished Rent price growth predictions and why multifamily investors shouldn’t be too sure that they can increase rents How our multifamily “oversupply” could quickly become an undersupply What to expect from the multifamily market in 2024 and into 2025 (significant changes!)

Zero-down mortgages are back. That’s right. You can now get into a home with (potentially) zero dollars out-of-pocket. But wait…this is starting to sound a bit like 2008. Remember the fully-funded mortgages that didn’t require income verification? Are we back to the days of NINJA loans as homebuyers struggle with affordability, forcing them to take on zero-down loans? Not quite. We’ll explain why on this headlines show! This time, we’re talking about the new zero-down mortgage loan. But that’s not all. One crucial housing metric has exploded, and if you sell, BRRRR, or flip houses, this is one metric you MUST pay attention to. Remember back in 2021 when lumber prices were so high that you needed to take out a personal loan to buy a toothpick? The mahogany tables have turned as we bring some good news for new construction investors and home renovators. Lastly, we look overseas at the international housing markets that are seeing the biggest price drops and increases. We also share where we would invest abroad and whether or not we think these markets beat the good ol’ USA. Stick around for your latest housing market update on this headlines show! In This Episode We Cover New zero-down mortgage loans and whether they’ll lead to risky home purchases What you must know (and do) if you’re going to buy a home with low money down The one home price metric you should pay attention to when flipping, rehabbing, or buying new construction Good news for new builds and why lumber has finally returned to pre-pandemic price levels The international housing markets seeing the biggest price drops, and whether we’d buy there or not And So Much More!

Wholesaling real estate may be banned nationwide within a few short years. After a new law was passed in South Carolina prohibiting the practice, other states started to follow their lead, making their own laws that limit or completely restrict wholesaling real estate. Why is this happening now, and if a nationwide wholesaling ban does get passed, are there loopholes for wholesalers to still make money assigning properties? South Carolina real estate attorney Gary Pickren is on the show to explain. Gary is no stranger to wholesaling. He’s quick to tell you how crucial wholesaling has been to his business’s growth. But Gary isn’t trying to dance around the new laws and pretend that everything will be alright for real estate wholesalers. In fact, Gary believes that this new South Carolina law could change real estate wholesaling forever, and it may even be for the best. We’ll describe the new South Carolina law and the legal verbiage that spells out the wholesaling ban. Gary even gives a completely legal way of getting around the new wholesaling law, but the rules MUST be followed. If you’re a wholesaler anywhere in the United States, this law directly affects you and your livelihood. Not staying up-to-date on this could, at best, cost you money or, at worst, land you behind bars. In This Episode We Cover Wholesaling explained and why the practice is currently in jeopardy The newest South Carolina wholesaling law and its monumental effects on the industry Wholesaling “assignments” defined and the risk of marketing a property in the wrong way Whether or not this new law could lead to a nationwide ban on wholesaling Gary’s savvy way to get around this wholesaling ban through this one type of “contract” Whether or not this new law applies to commercial real estate wholesaling as well And So Much More!

Millennials can’t afford homes, but somehow, their younger siblings, Gen Z, can. Even with over a decade more work experience than Gen Z, Millennials still feel priced out of the housing market. So how can the younger generation, only twenty-seven years at the oldest, already be on track to beat Millennials in the homebuying race, all while mortgage rates and prices are high, inventory is low, and inflation is eating away at Americans’ disposable income? We’ve got Redfin’s Chen Zhao back on the show to explain. Today, we’re trying to answer one question: Who is buying all the houses? With younger generations struggling to buy and more Baby Boomers aging in place, real estate investors want to know their competition and who they may be selling their homes to. In this episode, Chen breaks down the data behind age trends in homebuying, plus shares why Millennials fell behind past generations. But that’s not all. We’re getting into the changing landscape of the “buy vs. rent” debate and whether more renters now will mean fewer homebuyers in the future. Plus, with an aging Baby Boomer generation, will we finally see the “Silver Tsunami” of housing inventory hit the market as boomers “age in place,” especially with their large share of family-sized houses? Could our housing supply problems reverse if a sizable amount of inventory hits the market? We’re answering it all coming up! In This Episode We Cover Why Millennials can’t afford houses, and the reason so many still don’t own homes How Gen Z is already on track to get ahead of Millennials even with today’s economic turbulence Buying vs. renting a home and the “mismatch” between what renters want and what landlords supply A potential reversal of our massive housing shortage and when this could happen Whether or not the “Silver Tsunami” will hit the housing market as boomers get older How the increase of “aging in place” will affect home inventory as Gen Z/Millennials try to buy And So Much More!

Home prices are still soaring as they hit a new record high, despite high mortgage rates and low inventory dampening demand. At some point, this unaffordable housing market must make Americans even a bit bearish on real estate, right? Well, maybe not, according to a new survey that shows what Americans view as the best investment in the long term. But these updates are just the tip of the iceberg on today’s headlines show! We’re back to discuss the housing market’s most hard-hitting headlines and share our opinions on whether they’re fact, fiction, or pure hype.

If you’re like most investors, you’ve probably asked yourself, “Should I pay off my rental property early?” With today’s high mortgage rates, troublesome inflation, low inventory, and risky economy, many investors don’t know whether it’s the right move to pay off their mortgage, reinvest in their properties, or go out and buy more. Paying down your debt gives you a guaranteed return, but with home prices still climbing, you could miss out on the sizable appreciation of getting another rental. On today’s show, we’re going to debate which is the best move to make. Should you pay off debt, buy more investment properties, reinvest in your portfolio, or put more money down when you buy? Each investor has a different method for their next move, but thankfully, our expert panel gives their thought processes for figuring out which decision is best for your portfolio. Henry even shares his “three buckets” framework that EVERY investor should think through BEFORE investing or paying off a property. We’ll also discuss the crucial calculations you can use to help you decide and avoid analysis paralysis if you’re stuck between choices. Plus, how a high-risk house flipper like James protects himself from downsides even during tough markets like today. Don’t pause on making moves that could help you reach financial freedom; stick around, and we’ll show you exactly how to know which moves to make in 2024’s housing market! In This Episode We Cover Whether to pay off your mortgage early, reinvest, or buy more properties Why EVERY investor needs to calculate return on equity (ROE) on their portfolio Is it too risky to invest today? Why James is making even more high-risk investments in 2024 The “three buckets” of your real estate portfolio that will help decide what you should do with your cash What to do with extra money and how to make some serious passive income with private money lending The only time when we would put a large down payment on a rental property And So Much More!

Owning real estate could get expensive—yes, even more expensive than it already is today. Insurance prices, property taxes, maintenance costs, and more are going through the roof, and there isn’t much stopping these costs from jumping even more. What’s accelerating the rise in these upkeep costs? Hotter summers, colder winters, and more natural disasters. Growing climate risk is making real estate deals harder and harder to pencil, and even some safer areas to invest are seeing sizable pricing upticks. John Sheffield from ICE brings us the latest data on the financial impacts of climate risk in this episode. When we say “climate risk,” we know what you’re thinking: hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires. But that doesn’t even scratch the surface of what’s causing real estate expenses to jump. Areas of the US with once-cool summers are now experiencing record-breaking heat, increasing hail damage is denting roofs and breaking windows, and flooding has become the norm. These subtle climate effects have huge implications for your bottom line. So, what should you do to secure the profit you’re looking for on your next property? John hits on the expenses that are rising the most, the areas where home upkeep costs could almost mirror monthly mortgage payments, and what investors must do when underwriting their next deal to account for this massive jump in expenses. In This Episode We Cover The actual cost of climate risk and the expenses that are seeing the most significant pricing surges Why even areas without hurricanes, fires, or tornadoes are still at significant risk Property tax problems and underfunded local governments that could quickly raise taxes Insurance underpricing that could lead to even more expensive home protection Areas where home prices could drop as a result of inflated home expenses Where to find and track climate data so you know where (and where not) to invest And So Much More!

The unemployment rate begins to rise as job growth slows in the latest jobs report, prompting many to wonder, “Will this finally lead to interest rate cuts?” With so many investors waiting and hoping for rates to fall, this metric may point to exactly what the Fed is looking for. But while waiting for rate cuts, investors could miss out on a huge opportunity to buy at discounted prices. If you’re sitting on the sidelines, you could be making a big mistake. What do we mean? We’re getting into it all in this headlines show! We’ve got four economic news stories to discuss today, ranging from Redfin’s $9.25 million settlement as part of the agent commission lawsuits to new jobs report numbers and what Americans really think about the economy. First, we’ll touch on Redfin news as the discount brokerage settles in what seems to be the never-ending NAR lawsuit. Next, Americans think now is the worst time to buy a house. Do we disagree? Not really! But, we do believe it could get even worse very soon for those who don’t buy before it’s too late. Next, we’ll review the latest jobs numbers, from rising unemployment to slowing growth, and whether this will prompt the Fed to finally cut rates. Lastly, we’ll hit on consumer sentiment and America’s growing economic pessimism. With so many Americans living in financial fear, why aren’t we seeing a drop-off in travel and consumer spending? If you’re listening to this episode on a plane to Europe with your designer bag and $500 headphones, we’re talking about you! Stick around as we break down the top economic headlines and their impacts on the housing market. In This Episode We Cover The latest agent commission settlement and the huge payout from Redfin Is now the worst time to buy a house, and what happens if home prices keep rising? The one type of real estate that may see a serious uptick in demand over the next few years New jobs report numbers and whether this could finally prompt the Fed to lower rates Consumer sentiment and the extremely confusing economic pessimism we’re seeing now Why you DON’T have to wait for rates to drop to get your next real estate deal And So Much More!

Squatters' rights have been a serious subject of debate over the past few years. It seems that more and more investors and even one-off landlords are dealing with squatters staying in their homes, whether they’ve had a lease in the past or not. This puts landlords in a strange predicament: try to get squatters out the legal way or offer unconventional incentives to entice the squatters to leave on their own accord. But how can a landlord prevent squatters from getting inside in the first place? Denise Medina and Patrick MacQueen, attorneys based in Detroit and Phoenix, are here to share exactly what a landlord must know about squatters’ rights and how to get a squatter out of your property legally. With new squatter laws taking effect in states like Florida, it seems that landlords and local governments have had enough. However, squatters’ rights remain strong in many other areas, such as James Dainard’s own Seattle, Washington. So what can landlords from either coast do to get squatters out? We’ll break down where squatters’ rights even came from, how landlords can get the legal upper hand and get a squatter OUT of their property, the exact steps a landlord should take, the prevention methods to stop squatting in the first place, and how James deals with squatters frequently without ever having to go to court! In This Episode We Cover Squatters’ rights explained, and the ancient laws that they’re based on Why state governments are getting tired of squatters and tightening up their laws What qualifies someone as a “squatter,” and why it’s MUCH broader than you think Evictions 101 and the steps every landlord should take to get a squatter out “Cash for keys” and maneuvering around the courts to remove squatters Trespassing vs. squatting and why the police CANNOT simply come and take a squatter away And So Much More!

The housing market has seen unprecedented home price growth in the 2020s. Already, we’ve almost beat the past three decades, and we aren’t even halfway through our own. And now, with home price growth slowing, many people wonder how we’re still in a position of high housing costs and low inventory. The answer is simple: “Switching costs” are holding the housing market in limbo, and the more you know about them, the more our current situation makes sense. Put simply, “switching costs” are not only the financial but also the psychological costs of selling your current home and buying a new one. With mortgage rates close to double what most Americans have locked in, there’s a substantial financial consideration when purchasing a new home. Lance Lambert, co-founder of ResiClub and housing data authority, is on the show today to talk about home prices, housing inventory, and how “switching costs” influence both. Lance details how our massive home price acceleration put many Americans in an affordability bind, making “switching costs” higher than in recent history. So, how do we cross the threshold to enter a time when “switching costs” are low, prices are stable, and housing inventory returns? Lance walks through exactly how to tell the direction your local housing market is going in and the data investors must look at to get a better sense of how home prices and housing inventory are trending. In This Episode We Cover “Switching costs” explained and why they’re keeping the US housing market in limbo The “lock-in effect” that’s suppressing our housing inventory and keeping owners from selling Inflation’s sizable role in the massive home price appreciation we’ve been seeing The slow recovery in active listings and how far behind pre-pandemic levels we are The one data point you must follow if you want to gauge how healthy your local housing market is And So Much More!

Multifamily syndications are getting squeezed. With short-term financing coming due and mortgage rates at multi-decade highs, syndicators are calling on their original investors to raise more money so they don’t lose the deal. The problem? If you’re an investor, how do you know if your additional investment will ever be returned? Could a syndication simply burn through your money without making any promising changes to the investment? What should you know BEFORE you put up the cash for a capital call? We brought two syndication experts, Brian Burke and Mauricio Rauld, on to share their tips for navigating capital calls. Before we start, let’s clarify this isn’t exclusively a syndication or multifamily problem. Much of the commercial real estate market is facing financing problems as loans come due and mortgage rates stay high. However, this problem has become a lot more common for syndication investors since rates started rising. In this episode, we’ll break down what a capital call is, why syndications do them, whether or not you’re obligated to invest more, and what investors MUST look for before putting up cash. If a capital call comes your way, we have the exact questions you should ask the syndicator to ensure your money is being used correctly. Plus, if you’re a syndicator or plan on being one in the future, we share the steps to pull off a capital call the right way and make your investors whole. Making the wrong move could cost not only your investor’s money but also your money and lead to serious legal consequences. Don’t get stuck in that spot; stick around! In This Episode We Cover: Capital calls explained, why they happen, and why they’re becoming common in multifamily Syndications 101 and the reason they’ve become popular among passive investors Commercial lending problems and the bridge loans that are squeezing multifamily investors What investors MUST look for when a capital call comes their way and the questions to ask The right way to execute a capital call and the steps every syndicator should follow And So Much More!

Texas and Florida are seeing stagnating home prices as housing inventory booms while demand slips away. Housing is still expensive, but with more inventory, why is it staying that way? While the southern states catch their breath from the unprecedented demand of 2020 - 2022, a new housing market is taking control as one of the hottest areas in America. Is it all hype, or could this housing market really be a winner? We’re touching on this week’s news in today’s headlines episode! But first…shrimp. How much shrimp is too much shrimp? Apparently, miscalculated shrimp is a very costly mistake, as a beloved American chain restaurant could be declaring bankruptcy due to a costly “all you can eat” deal gone wrong. But before we get into crispy bottom feeders, we’ll talk about the home price woes Florida and Texas are facing as their inventory booms, but home prices stay stagnant. Speaking of stagnation, we discuss “stagflation” and whether or not this economy-killer could hit the US. With Americans getting fed up with the South’s high prices, a new Midwest market has been named America’s new #1 housing market, but would WE invest in it? From market saturation to stagflation, shrimp miscalculations, and top housing markets, we’re wrapping up this week’s economic news so you can invest better than the rest, so stick around! In This Episode We Cover: Southern inventory booms and why home prices are stagnating in once “hot” markets The nation’s new #1 housing market in a surprisingly small city you probably haven’t heard of Growing love for affordable housing markets and why so many Americans and businesses are moving Stock market sliding and the real fear that “stagnation” could hit the US economy The one chain restaurant that may be going bankrupt because of a jumbo-shrimp-sized miscalculation And So Much More!

When housing inventory is low, where do you go? Foreclosure rates are down, short sales are a hassle, and the open housing market has barely any sellers—is there a better way to find deals? Yes! Enter real estate receivership—the hidden housing inventory that our own James Dainard has been using for years to get better deals than what’s on the market. How do they work, and what’s behind these discounted deals? Attorney Jake Flothe works with receiverships daily and has seen the inside and out of these transactions that most real estate investors know nothing about. In short, receivership is when a court-appointed receiver takes control of a property in order to sell it to pay back creditors on the borrower’s behalf. This alternative to foreclosure and bankruptcy helps many real estate investors and everyday Americans escape a financial bind and can bring better properties to your investment portfolio. Jake gets into the nitty gritty of why someone would go into receivership, how to finance these discounted deals, the vast benefits of receivership over foreclosure or short sales, what the bidding and buying process looks like, and the one clause that could kick you out of an amazing receivership deal. In This Episode We Cover: The hidden inventory of “receiverships” that most investors have no idea about Why receivership real estate may be an even better deal than foreclosures The bidding process and how to start putting in offers on these discounted deals A BIG reason why foreclosures are down and receiverships are “ramping up” One clause that could completely ruin your receivership deals Why YOU may need to consider receivership if your deal goes sideways And So Much More!

America is in need of affordable housing; we’re all aware. Buying your first home has become increasingly challenging for everyday people. This is where housing subsidies come in. Federal housing subsidies were created over ninety years ago to help Americans get into the housing market and strengthen the economy, but in 2024, much of that money may not be headed to homebuyers—it could be going to banks instead. On today’s show, we talk to Sharon Cornelissen, Ph.D., Director of Housing at the Consumer Federation of America. Sharon’s mission is to advocate for safe, affordable housing with equitable mortgage lending for American consumers. In this episode, Sharon illuminates the shocking fact that most Americans are completely unaware of—billions in housing subsidies AREN’T being used for housing. So, if they’re not going to homebuyers, where are all the subsidies headed? Sharon discusses the banks that could be receiving a significant amount of these subsidies without providing any benefits for homebuyers, how the Coalition for Federal Home Loan Bank Reform is trying to change this, and how, if they succeed, affordable housing could see a MASSIVE influx in subsidies, that could help the housing market tremendously. In This Episode We Cover: Where the $7.3 billion in housing subsidies is actually going The Federal Home Loan Bank system and why it’s in dire need of reform How the mortgage market changed over the past century and why we’re seeing these problems How over $1 billion could be directed straight towards affordable housing How Sharon picked up a $7,000 house in one of the most devastated real estate markets And So Much More!

Over the past few years, you’ve probably heard the term “walkability” thrown out. For those who have lived in big cities, this is a common factor to use when deciding where to live or work. If you can catch a quick bus or walk to the office, the grocery store, restaurants, or a movie theater, there’s a fair chance you’ll pay more for where you live. But, most real estate investors aren’t thinking about this, and their ignorance could cost them. Jeff Speck, city planner and writer, is on the show to discuss how walkability, smart urban planning, and intentional property design can help you make much more money while improving the lives of your tenants and neighbors. Jeff has seen time and time again how smart urban planning leads to higher home appreciation and rents and a safer, happier community. The problem? Most of us are stuck in car-reliant American suburbs with little walkability and lacking public transportation. After hearing this episode, you’ll easily be able to spot the properties that will grow faster in value due to smart city planning.

America is in an affordable housing crisis. With home prices rising dramatically over the past four years and rents following right along, tens of millions of Americans are spending a significant chunk of their income just to put a roof over their heads. This means less money in Americans’ pockets for education, nutritious foods, investments, or an emergency fund. But, new government policies could help lessen the budgeting blow Americans are feeling from unaffordable housing costs, and investors may be able to help while turning a profit. Dennis Shea, Executive Director of the J. Ronald Terwilliger Center for Housing Policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center, has been fighting for affordable housing long before the recent ramp-up in housing costs. Today, we ask Dennis what caused our unaffordable housing market, why it got even worse after the pandemic, the impacts high home prices have on the economy, and the potential solutions every investor should know about. We even ask the uncomfortable question: Are investors to blame for the state of housing prices? But worry not—Dennis shares numerous ways investors can actually help low-income households and their communities while turning a profit with affordable housing development. If you’re looking to invest while building an even better housing market, this is the episode for you! In This Episode We Cover: Why America is experiencing such a shortage of affordable housing units in 2024 The “root of the housing crisis” that MUST be solved for our housing market to stabilize Why housing became even more unaffordable after the pandemic One potential solution that could be a massive win-win for real estate investors and tenants The affordable housing tax credit that could see a fifty-percent boost is passed What investors can do to help build affordable housing WHILE turning a profit And So Much More!

Mortgage rates were supposed to be going down by now, but what happened? Even in late 2023, many housing market experts predicted that we’d be seeing high to mid six percent mortgage rates at this point and hovering around the high five percent rate mark by the end of the year, but the Fed isn’t showing any sign of lowering rates soon. Some experts even believe rates could go UP again this year as the job market stays hot and the economy sees unprecedented strength. This begs the question: What IF mortgage rates remain high? It’s a reality many of us don’t want to see, but 2024 could end with minor, if any, rate cuts, keeping monthly mortgage payments high and affordability low. So, what should an investor do in this situation? Sit on the sidelines? Invest in a different asset class? Pray to Jerome Powell? While that last option may be worthwhile, top real estate investors are saying that NOW is the time to buy BEFORE rates fall. What do we mean? We’ve got the entire expert investor panel here to give their take on what investors should do IF rates don’t fall. From house flipping to long-term buy and hold rentals, our nationwide panel of investors shares exactly what they’re doing to make money even with high interest rates. Plus, we’ll give our predictions on when rates could fall, what will happen to housing inventory, what young people should do NOW to get their first house, and why investors need to “reset” if they want to thrive in this high rate housing market. In This Episode We Cover: Mortgage rate predictions and when interest rates could finally start falling What should investors do IF mortgage rates stay high throughout 2024 The “lock-in effect” and whether or not high rates are leading to lower inventory The homes that are flying off the market in many areas (and the ones that are sitting) How young people can creatively get into their first home or investment property Why investors MUST “reset” their expectations if they’re to build wealth in this housing market And So Much More!
