On The Market

For the past few years, “subject to” real estate has been all the rage. Everyone is talking about how they scored a great real estate deal by taking over a seller’s rock-bottom interest rate mortgage payment. You see it all over social media, “I got this house for zero dollars down with a three percent mortgage rate!” And while this may seem too good to be true, the practice of subject to real estate isn’t illegal, but some of its huge risks could ruin an inexperienced real estate investor. So, who do we have on to talk about subject to? Eddie Speed! Eddie is a creative financing master who’s been in the real estate note investing business for over forty years. Eddie has been around the block more than most and has seen the good and bad sides of subject to real estate. It’s become alarming to Eddie how many inexperienced investors are using this strategy without knowing the risks, putting their wealth and, more importantly, sellers in danger by being far too cavalier about the massive downsides of getting this real estate strategy wrong. Eddie walks through exactly how subject to works, the one clause that could blow up your entire deal, what will trigger it, the difference between subject to and assumable loans, who should be using subject to, and who DEFINITELY shouldn’t. Even if you’ve done a subject to deal before, you’d better stick around for this one, because you may have gotten it wrong. In This Episode We Cover: Subject to explained and whether this “no money down” strategy is worth the risk Subject to real estate vs. assumable mortgages and why these are NOT the same strategy The “due on sale” clause that could ruin your entire deal (and what triggers it) A workaround to the “due on sale” clause that most investors get WRONG Who should be investing in subject to real estate (and why it’s probably NOT you) Often overlooked state laws that could put you in hot water if you’ve done a subject to deal And So Much More!

Squatters’ rights are quickly being stripped away as more states move to end this widespread illegal occupation of private property. Blackstone predicts real estate prices to “bottom” as they gear up to go on their next homebuying shopping spree. Rent increases get capped for affordable housing, and why doesn’t the American public know about the BILLIONS of dollars in government housing subsidies? It’s another wild week in the housing market, so let’s get you up to speed. In this Headlines Rumble show, we’re pitting the top housing market headlines against each other as we dive deep into the stories that affect real estate investors the most. First, we talk about DeSantis’ war against the squatters, as Florida becomes one of the first states to take action against squatters illegally occupying private property. Next, we discuss the $7.3 billion in housing subsidies that banks receive but AREN’T flowing into homebuyers’ pockets. So, where is all that money going? Blackstone predicts real estate will “bottom” soon as they prepare to buy over $1 billion in single-family homes this year. If one of the most data-backed hedge funds in existence is saying now is the time to buy, should you begin searching for your next property? Finally, we’ll discuss the recent rent caps for affordable housing that are stopping landlords from increasing their rents even during times of quickly rising costs. In This Episode We Cover Squatters’ rights explained and why states are finally saying no to squatting The massive homebuying subsidies that no one knows about (but should!) Blackstone’s bet on a “bottoming” housing market and whether or not this means you should buy NOW Affordable housing rent increase caps and why this may lead to even less affordable housing The winning real estate market in our “Market Madness” bracket!

The NAR lawsuit changed the real estate industry overnight. Just like that, buyer’s agents were no longer getting their standard three percent commission, and many investors began imagining what buying and selling homes would be like without realtors. But is this massive NAR settlement as dramatic as the headlines are making it out to be? Is there really an agent exodus on the horizon, or is this just a way for the bad agents to exit the industry quickly? We brought on a panel of top investor-friendly agents to find out. Joining us are four agents from across the nation: Avery Carl, Craig Curelop, Juliet Lalouel, and Mike Savegnago. All of these agents are affected by the recent NAR lawsuit settlement, but they don’t seem so shaken up. For many of these agents, this lawsuit simply thinned the competition, putting the expert agents back on top while showing the less-than agents the door. Plus, after the recent deals they’ve done, they’re not too concerned about a lack of buyer’s agent fees. Today, we’re asking each of them their thoughts on the changes to the NAR’s rules, how this will affect buying and selling homes, what this means for real estate agent commissions, and what agents should do NOW to get ahead of the game. Plus, since our agent panel is all investors as well, they give some crucial advice on finding an agent in your area that will help you build your real estate portfolio even bigger. In This Episode We Cover: The NAR lawsuit explained and what it means for real estate agent commissions A “huge exit of agents” and how this could change the real estate industry forever What to do when a seller offers you or your buyer’s agent a zero-percent commission What real estate agents need to start doing NOW to ensure they still get paid The key signs of an investor-friendly agent that any landlord should be looking for Massive downsides of buying or selling without an agent (it will cost you…) And So Much More!

Compass is the latest brokerage to settle after the recent NAR lawsuit made sweeping changes to agent commission payments. With NAR, Keller Williams, Compass, and more associations and brokerages paying out massive settlement fees and rewriting their agent agreements, could we be on the cusp of even more lawsuits to come? We’re breaking it all down in this week’s On the Market headlines episodes! First, we’ll discuss what happened in the Fed meeting last week and whether interest rate cuts could still be coming down the line in 2024. Unsurprisingly, the Fed has forecasted even stronger economic growth than expected, but will this hold rates where they are? Next, Compass pays $57.5 million to settle their antitrust lawsuit, but even with this week’s news and last week’s NAR settlement, many top agents aren’t seeing much of a change in demand. Redfin reports on a sizable bump in housing inventory, with the “biggest increase in nearly a year,” as more homes for sale begin hitting the market. This is great news for the housing market, but will it start to slow down sales? Finally, we discuss how much you have to make to afford a $500K home and how affordability struggles could keep many Americans renting for much longer than they anticipated. In This Episode We Cover: Compass’ recent agent commission lawsuit settlement and what this means for investors The Fed’s rate cut predictions for 2024 and when we can expect rates to finally fall Strong economic projections from the Fed that point to a successful soft landing What the annual spring housing inventory increase could do to the market (will it even make a dent?)

A bombshell NAR settlement could bring wide-sweeping changes to the housing market. After a snowball of NAR lawsuits, the realtor association agreed to settle for a whopping $418 million and make critical changes to how real estate agent commissions are paid and how competition can be upheld. This significantly impacts anyone buying or selling a home and has life-changing effects for every real estate agent and realtor in the country. The New York Times’ Debra Kamin joins us to break the story. Debra breaks down the enormous legal loss that NAR (National Association of Realtors) suffered last week and the impacts it will have on the housing market. First, we discuss the new agent commission rules, which may break the standard six percent fee that realtors are used to taking. These commissions are real estate agents’ livelihoods, and a new model that supports lower commissions could force many agents to leave the industry entirely. We’ll also touch on the turbulent times NAR has faced recently, from sexual harassment scandals to changing leadership and, now, a massive settlement that could lose them more than half of their members. Will a new type of real estate agent form from the ashes of this century-old model? Or, could a brand-new way of buying and selling homes transform the housing market? Stay with us; we’ll give you the entire scoop. In This Episode We Cover: NAR’s massive settlement creating ripple effects across the real estate market The new real estate agent commission rules that could shock an entire industry Changes to the multiple listing service (MLS) that may open the market up to new competition The future of buyer’s agents and whether or not they’ll remain a critical component to buying a home Sexual harassment scandals, turbulent leadership, and recent NAR struggles What the future of using a real estate agent could look like And So Much More!

The Fed isn’t happy, but what’s new? After inflation numbers were released last week, showing higher-than-expected consumer price growth, our rate cut dreams could be slowly dwindling. Are we still on a timeline to see lower mortgage rates by summer, or is the US economy just too strong to prompt any help for prospective homebuyers? This story, and plenty more, are coming up in this week’s headlines show. Ever get that feeling that someone is watching you? Airbnb recently announced a new policy that banned indoor surveillance cameras in hosts’ properties. This is a shock for almost every Airbnb guest and most hosts, too, as it seems we all incorrectly assumed that security cameras were only allowed on the OUTSIDE of a property. But this episode isn’t just about short-term rentals. We have some good news for housing inventory, as new listings finally saw a bump, helping add some homes to the already supply-strained market we’re facing. We’ll also talk about new unemployment numbers that are trending in a direction the Fed wants to see but may not be enough to convince them of a rate cut. All that, and more, in this episode. In This Episode We Cover: A housing supply update and the “surge” of new listings that hit the market New jobs numbers and whether rising unemployment is something we should worry about Why the Fed may become even more hesitant to cut rates in 2024 New inflation and CPI (Consumer Price Index) numbers (and what they mean) Airbnb’s newest “no indoor camera” policy and what this means for anyone hosting a short-term rental The naked man in James’ newest investment property (will he EVER get out?)

Welcome to the “redemption year” for real estate investing. We talk a lot on this show about the real estate deals being done all across the country. From interviewing flippers to developers to agents and investors, it always seems like there’s still money to be made, no matter the market. But is that really true? Or is it a bunch of pro-property investing propaganda that “big real estate” is pushing? To prove that there are indeed real deals to be done in 2024, we’re bringing on some of OUR latest investments and walking through the ACTUAL numbers on this show! Each of our expert hosts (including Dave!) has a real estate deal to review on today’s episode. First, we’ll touch on James’ new joint venture partnership that’s making him a hefty six-figure profit that could almost be considered passive income. This deal alone could make James over $300,000—a sum that could change anyone’s life! Then, Dave jumps back into the market as he makes his first active real estate investment in YEARS. This home has a lot of potential, so what should he do with the property? Next, the “Kat(hy)-Signal” goes up as a growing city in Oregon pleads our own Kathy Fettke to start developing homes so local workers have a place to live. Thankfully, she picks up an astounding deal from a local farmer who doesn’t know much about developing. Finally, we’re back to good ol’ Arkansas as Henry walks through the numbers of a quick house flip that could profit him $80K. But that’s not the only sweet part of this deal. Another big benefit comes from the lot right next door. What will Henry do with it? Stick around to find out! In This Episode We Cover: Why NOW is the time to buy as competition is low and “walk-in equity” is high James’ almost passive real estate investment that could make him $300K Develop, add an ADU, or do nothing—what’s the best move for Dave’s new property?

Disclaimer: Opinions expressed in this episode and written below are solely opinions of the hosts, guests, and writers and do not reflect the views of BiggerPockets. The recent NAR lawsuits are paving a new path for real estate agents—one that could change how we buy and sell real estate forever. For the past century, the NAR (National Association of Realtors) has been the controlling association for the American housing market. With most real estate agents in the country being members, the NAR has gone without an alternative for almost the entirety of its existence—but that’s about to change. Jason Haber and Mauricio Umansky, founders of the new “American Real Estate Association,” have come to give agents something different. To combat outdated fee structures, sexual harassment scandals, and a large bureaucracy, Jason and Mauricio wish to create an association that thrives on collaboration, innovation, and excellence for the best real estate agents so the industry can improve. But what type of changes are they thinking of? Say goodbye to the “basic brokers,” as Jason and Mauricio lay plans to strengthen the skills of serious real estate agents, create more investor-friendly education opportunities, bolster the ethics of those buying and selling real estate, and bring more diversity and inclusion to the decision-making that often happens behind closed doors. This could be a new era for real estate agents—one where their destiny is in their own hands. In This Episode We Cover: Recent NAR lawsuits that could put the trade association in jeopardy Breaking up the broker “monopoly” by finally giving real estate agents a choice Agent innovation and why we DON’T need more agents…we need BETTER agents Agent commissions, costs, and fees that could be changed with the American Real Estate Association Why women MUST play a more prominent role in the future of the real estate industry And So Much More!

China’s economy is on its last legs. Thanks to massive overspending and high unemployment, the Chinese economy is beginning to break down, with real estate prices crashing at a scale similar to 2008 in the US. This is bad news for not only Chinese investors but also global investors with money in China. But could these tumultuous conditions spill over into the global economy? We’ve got arguably the world’s best economic forecaster, Joe Brusuelas, back on the show to get his take on the global economy and what could be next for the US. Joe has studied the Chinese economy in-depth and sees a “debt and deleveraging period” forming. This is bad for Chinese investors, but will it affect the US housing market? Next, Joe speaks on the other global crises, from Israel to Ukraine to Iran and beyond. With our global reliance on importing commodities like wheat and oil, how risky are we getting with the massive Middle East and Eastern European conflicts? Finally, Joe touches on domestic trends, including one substantial economic insight that could point to a new era of economic productivity in the US. This could be game-changing for you if you own stocks, bonds, real estate, or any other US-based investments. What trend are we talking about? Stick around; we’re getting into it all in this episode! In This Episode We Cover: China’s “debt trap” and how they massively slowed down economic growth The “bad bank” solution that China could (but probably won’t) use to solve their housing crisis How the US and India could become the primary economic forces in the global economy The “risk matrix” and what could cause an oil crisis due to the Middle East conflict How the US may use Russia’s assets against them in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict A huge economic indicator pointing to a new era of productivity for the US economy And So Much More!

Rent prices peaked in 2022 after a double-digit percentage run-up. Due to more household formation, disposable income, and remote work availability, Americans were doing whatever they could to upgrade their housing to bigger, better, and often more expensive options. But, after interest rates shot up, the economy began to cool, and work-from-home became a not-so-sure thing, Americans became more budget-conscious. As a result, vacancies rose, and rent prices began to fall. So, how close are we to seeing rent growth return? Apartment List’s senior housing economist, Chris Salviati, joins us to share what his team has seen in the nationwide rent data. Chris looks mostly at large apartment data—the sector that’s been hit the hardest in recent years. With multifamily properties struggling to find renters and lowering their asking prices to prompt demand, you’d think the market had found a bottom—but this isn’t the case. A tidal wave of multifamily inventory is about to come online, and when it does, multifamily investors will be forced to compete with the newest and most luxurious options on the market. Will this oversupply trickle down to single-family rentals, or will renters turn away from the A-class buildings in search of more affordable options? Chris gives us his thoughts, plus future rent growth predictions, in this episode! In This Episode We Cover: What happens to rent prices when 1,000,000 more multifamily units come online Markets that have the most oversupply and could see significant rent cuts The massive concessions multifamily apartments are giving new renters When real estate investors can expect rent growth to pick back up 2024 rent price predictions and whether demand could come back How single-family rental prices will be affected by multifamily’s huge oversupply And So Much More!

Most real estate markets in America saw huge home price growth over the past five years. Ever since the pandemic, equity and appreciation have been slingshotted to new heights, with some housing markets having over FIFTY PERCENT home price appreciation in just a few years. Today, we’re touching on the four top appreciation markets in America, all of which saw massive price jumps over the past five years, and some are even still affordable! But, if you’re like most real estate investors, you’re screaming at your screen, “What about the cash flow? You can’t bet on appreciation!” Well, we’ve already read your mind as we get into a debate over whether or not appreciation SHOULD be accounted for before buying a property and whether or not it’s better than cash flow. Surprisingly, some of our appreciation-rich experts prefer cash flow, while our cash flow market investors prefer appreciation.

Which investing trends could make you wealthy in 2024? First, we had long-term rentals, then the BRRRR strategy, short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, syndications…the list goes on and on. And while trends come and go, acting on them at the right time could be your ticket to financial freedom. So, which trends are worth investing in this year, and which are dying out and should be avoided? We’re giving our takes on this episode. Some of the trends in this episode are brand new—only with advanced technology have these investments even been made possible, but some are trends you may already be part of. From room rentals to very flexible commercial investments, Elon Musk’s new affordable housing, and a way to “build” your own one percent rule properties, these trends have gone mostly unnoticed but are sure to catch fire in the coming years. But, some trends that exploded over the pandemic should be put to rest. These once cash-flowing investments reached their heyday in 2022 and 2023 and are slowly becoming lackluster (and often dangerous) investments for new investors. Which tactics are we talking about? Stick around to find out! In This Episode We Cover: Future real estate investing trends that could offer BIG cash flow in 2024 and 2025 The flexible commercial real estate investment that online businesses rely on to survive Kathy’s billion-dollar idea for a match-making app using this specific strategy How to maximize your dollar per square foot by renting out PARTS of your property The new smart homes that could finally solve the affordable housing problem How to create the one percent rule (EVEN in 2024) by building your own rentals Dying trends that are seeing low cash flow, high vacancies, and tough turnover And So Much More!

Cash flow real estate is hard to find. In almost any big city, making financial freedom-producing cash flow is becoming a pipe dream. But that doesn’t mean there still aren’t pockets of cash flow throughout the United States; you just need to know where to find them. Thankfully, we’ve done the work for you, putting together a short list of cash-flowing real estate markets with the highest rents and lowest home prices. In this episode, we’re talking about cold, hard cash flow. More interested in building equity but still want some passive income on the side? We share four different strategies ANY investor can use to find cash-flowing rental properties in ANY market. Looking for a new market? You're in luck; we’ve got a list of four top cash-flowing real estate markets—but the real question is, would WE invest in them? Finally, we’ll share our takes on whether or not cash flow is crucial, especially as it becomes harder to find. You’ll see why Kathy and Henry have stopped caring so much about mailbox money and are focusing on something much more important when building wealth.

Is college worth it? Many Americans are beginning to boldly state, “Nope!” But does the growing anti-higher education sentiment point to facts or fiction around the cost of college? We invited Dr. Anthony P. Carnevale, research professor and director of the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, to the show to give us up-to-date data on the true ROI of a college degree. With America’s shockingly low college graduation rate and student loans being one of the biggest limiting factors of financial freedom for many Americans, it’s understandable why so many people are skipping college to go straight into the workforce. But the data paints an entirely different picture. Those who opt out of the traditional four-year degree system could be making a massive mistake, one that could cost them seven figures in the long run. A sum that size could be the game changer for finding financial independence. In this show, we ask Dr. Carnevale about why college has gotten so expensive, the problem with freezing tuition, which majors make the most (and the least), and whether where you go to college even matters. Plus, he shares some shocking statistics about how much a degree is worth and why one group of Americans is ditching degrees in today’s strong economy. In This Episode We Cover: Keller Williams' settlement of $70M in the NAR agent commission lawsuit and what this means for the future of agent commissions The rise of “niche” brokers and agents and why they may THRIVE in the coming years Our crucial advice for first-time homebuyers that you CANNOT miss Commercial real estate losses and how hard IS it to get an investor loan today?

Just when you thought the NAR lawsuit coverage was over, Keller Williams agrees to settle for $70M, bringing a big blow to real estate agent commissions. How will this impact buyers and sellers, and are we entering a new age of home buying where only a fraction of the real estate agents exist? We’re getting into this headline and others affecting the housing market in BIG ways in this episode of On the Market. Some agents will thrive while others barely survive in a post-NAR lawsuit world as real estate agent commissions are threatened once again. But it isn’t only agents getting hit hard this week. Banks have been “rocked” by real estate losses, primarily commercial real estate, as loans come due, but investors aren’t able to pay. One bank saw its share price slide by more than fifty percent this month as earnings reports showed a major loss from lending this quarter. Finally, it wouldn’t be a headlines show if we didn’t touch on the jobs report. This month, we’re getting a mixed bag of good for the economy but bad for rates type of numbers. Jobs are growing, and the economy is still chugging along, but will this push rate cuts back as the Fed fails to find weakness in our economy? We’re giving you our thoughts on this episode!

The Fed is putting us all in danger. With high rates, low inflation, a strong job market, and millions of Americans wishing they could buy a home (but can't), we're in a strange position. Buying a home is still unaffordable even with rising wages, but the Fed won't drop rates BECAUSE of rising wages and such strong job numbers. We're in a housing market stalemate, and all of this could have been avoided if the Fed stopped counting on old data to save them. You might think that these are wild claims, but thankfully, we've got the housing market expert of housing market experts on the show, Logan Mohtashami, to make his case. Logan's team at HousingWire tracks housing market data like no one else can. They have the most up-to-date metrics and the best forecasts in the industry and were right about this housing market, and the last one, the one before that, and…you get the point. It goes without saying Logan is the singular voice to trust when it comes to housing and the economy. Logan says the Fed is "playing with fire" by keeping mortgage rates as high as they are. They want to break the labor market, but with every number pointing to a return to normal, why should they? Logan gives his thoughts on why the Fed isn't dropping rates, the huge housing market mistake they're making, the metrics that could point to a disastrous labor market, and the harsh reality for first-time homebuyers. In This Episode We Cover: A normalizing job market and what could cause it to finally break The Fed's massive mistake that is putting the housing market in danger Why the Fed won't lower mortgage rates yet and what they're waiting for The devastating state of housing demand and why it shouldn't be like this in 2024 How lower-income households are getting hit the hardest, EVEN in an expanding economy Bond market effects and why yields are staying so high And So Much More!

The biggest real estate tax deduction is coming back. That’s right—100% bonus depreciation is almost cleared for a triumphant return as the House pushed a new tax bill to the Senate, one that includes some massive tax deduction potential for real estate investors and everyday Americans alike. So, why is this SUCH a big deal? We’ve got Brandon Hall, CPA, on to break down why bonus depreciation could save you tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars. Everyone knows that real estate boasts some of the best tax benefits of any investment in the nation. But, the one tax benefit to rule them all is almost always depreciation. This tax write-off lets you expense a portion of your property every year and can turn your real-life gain into a paper loss, so you keep your cash flow while avoiding taxes. But bonus depreciation is like regular depreciation on steroids. And the tax benefits can be massive. So, how do you take advantage of this huge tax write-off? What do you need to know BEFORE you take it? And should you hold off on filing before this new bill passes? We’ve got answers to all that and much more in this episode, so stick around! In This Episode We Cover: Four of the hottest housing markets in 2024 that we’d flip houses or long-term invest in The high-priced coastal market that we love…but wouldn’t buy rentals in A snowy northeast market that has low prices and big rent-by-the-room potential A sleeper city with a big price tag but solid investing benefits The not-so-sexy market that made the number-one spot and surprised us all Unemployment rates, home prices, average rents, and top metrics you MUST check before investing And So Much More!

We know mortgage rates will fall this year, but how long will we have to wait? Will they get down to the fives or stay in the six-percent range? And even if the Fed lowers the federal funds rate, will this significantly impact mortgage rates? We brought on three elite lenders to get their takes on when rates will drop, how low they could go, and why waiting for lower rates is a riskier decision than you think. Caeli Ridge joins us again as our go-to investor-lender combo, and Krystle and Kenny Simpson, San Diego-based lenders, are on the show to give their viewpoints from the small investor and large commercial lens. Plus, these lenders are about to share the info on some investor loans that you may have NEVER known about—loans that other investors are taking advantage of TODAY to get deals done, even with high interest rates. Speaking of high interest rates, our lenders show mathematical proof that rates are NOT the defining factor of your real estate deal and how waiting for a half-percentage drop could cost you more than you think. Plus, the commercial real estate “bloodbath” coming for one certain sector unless local governments step in. In This Episode We Cover: The investor loans that you’ve NEVER heard of that are being used TODAY to get deals done Mortgage rate predictions and how low rates could go by the end of 2024 The commercial real estate drop-off and why buying/selling has come to a halt High-rate investor HELOCs you can get today that’ll cost you LESS than a thirty-year mortgage Huge opportunity in commercial real estate as one sector becomes a “bloodbath” DSCR, non-QM, and other investor-only loans you can take advantage of NOW And So Much More!

Home prices will rise, home sales will jump, and mortgage rates will fall to a familiar range, according to Fannie Mae’s Doug Duncan. In their newest consumer sentiment survey, Fannie Mae points to a “tale of two housing markets” where both buyers and sellers are stuck. Rates aren’t low enough to get back into the housing market, and with prices set to rise, why should homeowners sell? Doug provides some incredible insight on today’s episode, explaining why housing market sentiment is still so low, what could boost homebuying demand, and where Fannie Mae expects mortgage rates to be in 2024 and 2025. If you’re praying for rates to hit the rock-bottom levels of 2020 and 2021, Doug has some news you NEED to hear. But rates and prices aren’t the only factors impacting buying/selling. Our huge undersupply of housing is making the market even more competitive as builders remain stuck, forced to pay high interest rates and high labor costs, all during a time when most of America doesn’t want to purchase. How do we get out of this housing market stalemate? Stick around as one of the top minds in housing gives us his answers. In This Episode We Cover: Fannie Mae’s newest housing market sentiment numbers and what they mean for buying/selling 2024 vs. 2008 and the factors causing so much property purchasing pessimism The mortgage rate “range” we can expect in 2024 and 2025 The three factors that MUST change if we’re to see a return back to a normal housing market Recession indicators that are going off, EVEN with today’s solid economic growth The massive construction constraint that’s stopping more inventory from coming on the market And So Much More!

The “frozen” housing market is about to get blowtorched as competition is set to heat up in 2024. With lower mortgage rates, bigger investor tax benefits, positive economic sentiment, and tight inventory, homebuyers will need to act fast unless they want to make the same mistakes of 2021 and 2022. Are the bidding wars and price hikes coming back? Will we look back at 2023 as an “affordable” time to buy a house? Welcome to the first On the Market Headlines Rumble Show! We’re putting Dave, Henry, James, and Kathy in a metaphorical cage match as they each bring hard-hitting headlines to knock each other out with bigger and better news. No physical punches will be thrown, but psychological piledrivers will be aplenty in today’s show. We’ll talk about the “frozen” housing market reigniting in 2024 due to stiff competition, low inventory, and falling mortgage rates. Next, why Americans are giving up on college degrees and going straight into employment. A MASSIVE investor tax write-off could make a comeback as bonus depreciation goes BACK on the legislative table. Plus, why Blackstone, everyone’s favorite hedge fund, is buying BILLIONS of dollars in housing in the US and Canada. In This Episode We Cover: Housing market competition and what could cause higher prices, bidding wars, and more seller power A 100% bonus depreciation comeback and whether investors should bet on bigger write-offs Sinking college confidence and the surprising statistics showing Americans’ lost faith in higher education New housing starts numbers that could signal even MORE competition to come Blackstone’s $3.5 BILLION bet on the American (and Canadian) housing market Newest consumer sentiment survey results showing a surprising change of tune for Americans And So Much More!

The “silent depression” is here. Just like in 1929, the American economy is ravaged by a declining GDP, plummeting asset prices, widespread unemployment, and a completely fractured banking system. Wait…are any of those things happening today? Not quite. But, according to social media, a “silent depression” is widespread across the American economy, with high inflation, limited wage growth, and low homeownership for millennials and Gen Z. To explain the “silent depression” trend, CNBC’s Jessica Dickler is on the show, giving her take on this trend and other popular economic trends across social media. We’ll get into why younger generations feel so bad about the economy, EVEN with strong financial fundamentals, the rising cost of living across the country, and whether or not economists agree with the “silent depression” theory. And if you want to see Dave get really fired up, prepare to hear his best “you darn kids!” impression as he explains why so many young Americans are tired of older generations holding so much of the wealth. In This Episode We Cover The “silent depression” explained and why so many Americans are financially fearful How BAD is the American economy in 2024? (is it even bad at all?) Economic depressions vs. inflation and why the rising cost of living hits so hard Explaining other popular TikTok trends like “loud budgeting” and “girl math” Social media vs. reality and why you can’t (always) trust the internet Dave aging instantly by thirty years during an on-air rant And So Much More!

The tide may have finally turned for real estate investing and the housing market. After carefully tracking sentiment among small investors, Rick Sharga’s team at CJ Patrick Company has seen a BIG boost in optimism over the last quarter. It seems that betting on the housing market is back as improving investor sentiment and confidence pushes more and more people to go after rental property investing and house flipping. But which strategies will have the most explosive growth? We sat down to break the story with Rick on the newest Investor Sentiment Survey, what investors are feeling the most bullish about in the 2024 housing market, and the biggest concern investors have on their minds. And the data Rick shares isn’t just shown in the survey—it’s mirroring today’s market conditions. In James’ market alone, investor demand has quadrupled recently, showing a STRONG resurgence in a specific type of real estate investing. We’ll walk through the new investor sentiment numbers, why house flipping activity could explode over the next year, one big risk hurting rental property investors, and where investing activity is pooling across the nation. In This Episode We Cover: Latest investor sentiment numbers and the one strategy that is about to have a BIG comeback The HUGE opportunity for rental property investing that most investors will miss How James made MORE money doing HALF as many flips in 2023 Low mortgage rate predictions and why investors need to get in BEFORE rates drop One serious hurdle that’s hurting rental property investors in 2024 And So Much More!

Right now, many multifamily operators are scared. They’ve got debt due, higher vacancy rates than ever, and banks that could be coming for them at any second. And although a “soft landing” in the economy could help keep most multifamily operators from being foreclosed on—not everyone is safe. If you’re looking to invest in multifamily this year, there could be some big buying opportunities. To walk us through the state of the multifamily and commercial real estate market is CBRE’s Richard Barkham. Richard leads a team of six hundred research experts, all digging into the most up-to-date real estate data around. Today, Richard touches on the commercial real estate space, why prices AREN’T crashing, the sectors that will continue to struggle in 2024, and why the industry as a whole has remained so resilient, especially when no one expected it to be. We’ll also get into cap rate forecasts and how high they could get so prices finally come back down to earth. But that’s not all; Richard gives a rare take on why so many struggling multifamily investments DIDN’T get foreclosed on, whether or not the oversupply of multifamily could make trouble for residential buyers, and what will happen when the “wave” of multifamily construction hits. In This Episode We Cover: A 2024 commercial real estate update and whether or not a price crash is still on the table Rising vacancy rates and the commercial sectors that could get hit the hardest Cap rate expansion and whether or not we’ll see price cuts this year Why Richard sees 2024 as a “year of opportunity” for multifamily investors States with the most multifamily construction that could see price cuts spill over into residential “Distressed” multifamily investors and why we WON’T see a wave of foreclosures And So Much More!

Americans are convinced that today’s economy is bad…really bad. In fact, many of them think that this is the worst economic period in US history. Are they right, or are they just historically challenged? In today’s show, we’re going to touch on the good and the bad happening in the economy, from new job numbers to negative economic sentiment, corporate landlords who want you to live at work, and whether or not buying a house in 2024 is a smart move to make.

Is this good for employees, or does this bring more power to the employer? Speaking of employers, how would you like Elon Musk to be your landlord? Well, if you work for Tesla, SpaceX, or The Boring Company, this could be your reality.

Home equity just hit an all-time high for Americans. And while this is great for homeowners, what effects could this have on the housing market? Will house hoarding become a new trend as homeowners “lock in” with their rock-bottom mortgage rates? Will those who are equity-rich take their profits and move to cheaper markets, causing prices to skyrocket as they bid higher than local buyers can? Molly Boesel, Principal Economist at CoreLogic, is on to answer these questions and more! CoreLogic’s latest Homeowner Equity Insights report has a clear takeaway: Americans are equity rich—really equity rich. On average, American homeowners have hundreds of thousands of dollars sitting in home equity, with some of the priciest housing markets having millions! This is causing a new type of investor, the “accidental investor,” that could keep housing supply locked up. Molly gives her take on why so many homeowners are refusing to sell, whether or not mortgage rates will fall substantially next year, when refinancing will finally start to rise again, and if foreclosure risk is even a relevant worry in today’s rock-solid economy.

The housing market has two big problems: home prices and a lack of supply. With so few homes on the market, buyers have barely anything to choose from, and sellers remain in control. But how did we get to this point? Back in 2008, there were too many homes on the market, and we all know what happened to home prices. So how did we go from being oversupplied to undersupplied by MILLIONS of housing units so quickly? The answer is pretty simple. Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody’s Analytics, joins us again to give his take on the 2024 economy, the housing market, home prices, and our massive underbuilding problem. The last time Mark was on the show, he explained the “slowcession” that could have taken place in 2023. Instead, a roaring economy took off with low unemployment, high consumer spending, and real wealth increases for many Americans. But, as we head into 2024, there are still a couple of BIG problems: little-to-no housing supply and a polarizing presidential election of epic proportions. Both of these will have big impacts on the economy, and if you want to know what could be coming next, don’t miss this episode! In This Episode We Cover: The “rip-roaring” labor market and why unemployment has stayed so low Why middle and high-income households are thriving while low-income households are struggling even more The Fed’s recent rate pause and whether it was the right move for them to make The 2024 election and the huge effects it could have on the economy Our lopsided housing supply and why we’ve been building the wrong real estate for too long Marks’ 2024 home price predictions and why weak/flat pricing could be in our future And So Much More!

With doomsday headlines and lagging consumer confidence, how should you proceed in 2024? Time to get the advice of TWO senior economists! BiggerPockets’ Dave Meyer talks with ZILLOW’s Orphe Divounguy and REDFIN’s Chen Zhao to demystify the latest US economic indicators and provide you with strategies to thrive in this year’s housing market.

Both Chen and Orphe share their outlook for the 2024 economy, the state of the American consumer, and what could happen as student loans kick back in, credit card delinquencies increase, and cash reserves run dry. Finally, we’ll end things with Chen and Orphe’s list of real estate markets to watch and the pricey areas that may see a revitalized post-pandemic boom. If you want to know what to expect, where to invest, and if the hot housing market will return in 2024, stick around!

Americans have been waiting for a recession to kick in for the past year. With consumer sentiment down and debt piling up, it’s understandable why so many feel like the worst is yet to come. But what if the “hard landing” everyone was so afraid of already happened without us even noticing it? Could a “rolling recession” be why the economy never crashed at once? We’ve got Liz Ann Sonders, Charles Schwab’s Chief Investment Strategist, on the show to explain. In a new report, Liz Ann touches on the one industry that could get hit hardest in 2024, what will happen if the labor market starts to break, and why we aren’t out of the woods yet for another recession. In today’s show, she’ll detail her findings and explain why SO many Americans feel now is an economically dangerous time, even while hard data points to confident consumers. We’ll get Liz Ann’s take on the Fed rate cuts and whether or not they’ll even happen as the Fed eagerly awaits mortgage rate hike effects to finally kick in. Plus, recession indicators to watch in 2024 and why the bond markets could be pointing to something that no one else has been able to see. In This Episode We Cover: The “rolling recession” and why a “hard landing” may have already hit One industry that could get hit HARD in 2024 if the labor market starts to weaken Why we haven’t felt the full effect of the Fed’s rate hikes yet Fed rate cut predictions and how long the Fed could continue to hold high rates Recession indicators and what the bond market tells you that no one else is talking about And So Much More!

Where are the BEST places to live in the US? Well, U.S. News & World Report just released their annual list to show which cities are worth picking up and moving to. Some of these cities are investor favorites, while others are rarely discussed within the real estate investing community. If these cities truly are some of the best places to live in the country, wouldn’t having property in such desirable markets lead to big investing profits? Henry, James, and Kathy go over the top cities on the list, talking about which are worth investing in, which aren’t, cash flow vs. appreciation potential, and where they’d comfortably park their dollars in properties. And even though Dave is away on his honeymoon, we’re still bringing you LOTS of data, statistics, and trends to watch so YOU can get in on some of the top cities before investing masses know about them.

A “reset” could be coming to the housing market in 2024. As mortgage rates fall, inventory rises, and consumer wealth begins to grow, more and more renters are in the position to buy. An economic “trifecta” could form that brings us back into a hot housing market, but will it be anything like 2021 and 2022? We’ve got Orphe Divounguy, Senior Economist at Zillow, back on the show to give Zillow’s 2024 housing market predictions and share where he’s personally looking to invest. 2023 was an impossible year for homebuying. Rates were high, inventory was non-existent, and fears of a recession made Americans have second thoughts about buying real estate. But now, it looks like the Fed will land their so-called “soft landing” as the economy continues to slow but grow at a rate we’ve been waiting for. This is good news for housing. If you want to hear what Zillow thinks could come next in 2024, what will happen to housing inventory, where Americans will move, and how a presidential election could impact the property market, this is the episode to watch. Be sure to subscribe to On the Market, as Orphe will be back to discuss even more housing market predictions with Redfin’s Chen Zhao. In This Episode We Cover: Why the housing market could have a “big reset” in store for 2024 The economic “trifecta” that could put Americans in the perfect position to buy homes Improving housing inventory and the BIG jumps made towards the end of 2023 2024 headwinds to watch out for and how a presidential election could freeze investing Affordable markets that Americans are planning to move to in 2024 Where Orphe is looking to buy his next investment property (watch this market!)

For years, we’ve been hearing about how the single-family rental market is being bought up by hedge funds, iBuyers, and institutional investors. For the average investor, it seems like the corporate landlords are getting an unfair advantage—they have better data, better financing, full-time staff, and deep pockets to buy whatever and wherever they want. But a new single-family rental survey shows that the big players aren’t the ones controlling the market—it’s the little guys. To walk us through this massive, single-family rental survey, is Rick Palacios Jr., Director of Research at John Burns Research and Consulting. Rick’s team accomplished the seemingly impossible task of measuring activity for 270,000 single-family rental homes to see how landlords are faring in 2023 and what their plans are for 2024. And while this survey focuses on REITs (real estate investment trusts), private groups, and other larger-type buyers, it provides invaluable insights for the small-time landlord. Rick will walk us through rent growth (and decline) from the past year, where he believes rents will be in 2024, whether or not expenses could continue to rise, how high mortgage rates are affecting buyers, and why institutional investors are struggling in this market while mom-and-pops are buying! In This Episode We Cover: What the largest single-family rental survey says about the 2024 housing market Rent “normalization” and why those who aggressively projected rising rents will get hit hard Rising expenses, insurance costs, and whether or not it could get even worse Why institutional investors pulled out of the market while small-time investors thrived How long the “lock-in effect” could last as high mortgage rates become the new norm Whether or not the multifamily rent crisis could spill over into the single-family market And So Much More!

Our 2024 housing market predictions are here. Will interest rates finally fall? Will home prices continue to stay strong even with weak demand? And will we EVER “technically” enter into a recession? We’ve got the full On the Market panel here to give their forecasts on everything that could happen in 2024, plus where the biggest buying opportunities could be. But first, we’ll painfully review our incorrect housing market predictions from 2023 and one BIG guess that we all got wrong. But we’re not the only ones! Both Zillow and Redfin had some predictions that didn’t age too well. From there, we’ll get into 2024 housing price predictions and whether or not we expect to see home prices FINALLY decline after a standstill year. Then, what everyone’s been waiting for—mortgage and interest rates predictions. If these start to fall, you can assume that home prices will rise, a buying frenzy will ensue, and the bidding wars will begin (again). With the potential for a recession at some point in 2024, lower mortgage rates may result from an even worse economic event. So, what IS going to happen? Stick around for our predictions! In This Episode We Cover: Our 2024 housing market, interest rate, and home price predictions What could cause mortgage rates to fall in the latter half of 2024 Recession probability and why Americans are spending more than ever before What we got WRONG in our 2023 predictions (nobody’s perfect) Best real estate investing markets in 2024 and why “unsexy” cities could win The HUGE opportunity for cash buyers as banks seek to offload properties And So Much More!

Happy Thanksgiving! This Turkey Day, we're giving you an encore of our 2023 housing market predictions episode. Hear what we got right and what we (definitely) got wrong, and tune in next week for our 2024 predictions! ______ The 2023 housing market predictions are here. We heard you in the forums, the comments, and all over social media. We know you want Dave, the data man, to give you his take on what will happen over the next year. Will housing prices fall even more? Could interest rates hit double digits? And will our expert guests ever stop buying real estate? All of this, and more, will be answered in this week’s episode of On The Market. Unfortunately, Dave threw his crystal ball in with his laundry this week, so he’s relying solely on data to give any housing market forecasts. He and our expert guests will be diving deep into topics like interest rates, inflation, cap rates, and even nuclear war. We’ll touch on anything and everything that could affect the housing market so you can build wealth from a better position. We’ll also discuss the “graveyard of investment properties” and how one asset class, in particular, is about to be hit hard. With so much affecting the overall economy and the housing market, it can be challenging to pin down exactly what will and won’t affect real estate. That’s why staying up to date on data like this can keep you level-headed while other retail homebuyers run for the hills, scared of every new update from the Fed. Worry not; this episode is packed with some good signs for investors but also a few worrisome figures you’ll need to pay attention to. In This Episode We Cover The most important variables that could impact 2023’s housing market Which asset class will be hit hardest by price cuts and where investors can find deals Inflation, bond rates, and how the federal funds rate could impact homebuying Housing price predictions for 2023 and how far home prices could slide The seller’s vs. buyer’s market and how brand new investors can take advantage Whether or not cap rates will start to increase even as inflation pushes rents higher And So Much More!

With interest rates at the highest point in decades, multifamily and commercial real estate purchases have dropped by more than 50%. Cash flow looks almost nonexistent, but good deals could be right around the corner as inexperienced operators are forced to give up their properties or pay MASSIVE amounts of money to the bank. What can you expect as the 2024 housing market rolls around? Stay tuned; we’ll give you all the info! Alison Williams, SVP & Chief Production Officer at Walker & Dunlop, joins us to discuss “small balance lending” and where MANY multifamily investors get their money. Alison is able to tell you point-blank what a lender needs to see to lend on your deal, how much money you should be prepared to come to the table with, and what could happen as the bridge loan bomb begins to go off. Alison also believes we’ll see “a LOT of deals” in the coming months/years as operators are forced to refinance, foreclose, or sell. This presents a massive opportunity for new investors who have been starved of deals and are looking to pick up another property without paying 2021 or 2022’s high prices! In This Episode We Cover The bridge loan bomb that could blow up many investors’ deals Why multifamily and commercial real estate purchases have fallen off a cliff Default rates, foreclosures, and whether Alison expects them to go up Deals coming down the road and why investors with cash on hand could be in for serious discounts What a “good” deal looks like in 2023/2024 and what you NEED to get funding Alison’s biggest pieces of advice for investors and why many could be in for a “shock” And So Much More!

The US economy is on the brink of a recession, but consumers don’t seem to care. Consumer spending is up, credit card debt is through the roof, and the average American’s excess savings have been depleted. Could this financial rager we’re throwing end in chaos for the US economy? Or are these frightening metrics pointing to something else entirely? Today, Dave will get into the nitty-gritty details of the US consumer. After some serious pandemic stimulus, Americans were riding high, buying whatever they could with their stocked-up savings. But now, economic sentiment among Americans is starting to fall, and many believe a recession could be around the corner. With consumer spending making up the majority of economic activity in the US, if it starts to fall, our economy could go down with it. Dave will give you the numbers and updates you need to know EXACTLY what’s going on with the US consumer, whether or not rising debt and spending really matters, and the factors that could force spending to fall. In This Episode We Cover: Why consumer spending is exploding at a time when recession risk is high Declining consumer sentiment and why Americans are fearful of the future All-time high credit card debt and whether or not delinquencies are rising with it When Americans’ “pandemic savings” will run out Resuming student loan payments and how they could hurt the average consumer And So Much More!

The NAR lawsuit just ended in a way almost no one expected. The NAR (National Association of Realtors), America’s largest association of real estate brokers, agents, appraisers, and more, just got dealt a blow that there may be no recovering from. This lawsuit, which focused on agent commission splits, ended in a $1.8B blow to NAR, and this could be just the beginning of a slew of lawsuits like this. To explain all the messy details, we brought Business Insider reporter James Rodriguez back on the show to explain this massive lawsuit, the verdict, and what this means for the entire real estate industry. This major lawsuit alone could bring sweeping changes to how agents buy and sell real estate and how they’re paid. Even more ground-breaking, the future of buyer’s agents now seems murky at best and non-existent at worst, as these commission structures may make buyer’s agents’ jobs almost obsolete. If you’re an agent, investor, buyer, seller, or broker, the effects of this lawsuit CANNOT be ignored because if the dominos continue to fall, we could wake up to an entirely new real estate landscape. In This Episode We Cover: The NAR’s real estate agent commission lawsuit explained The $1.8B verdict and why this could swell up to over $5B in losses for the defendants Why NAR and Keller Williams, two massive companies, weren’t able to win this case The future for real estate agents and how this could crush their commissions “Enormous” ripple effects that could come as a result of this lawsuit Why NAR’s CEO decided to jump ship after the verdict was announced And So Much More!
