On The Market

Real estate agents had it made over the past two years. When mortgage rates were low, buyers lined up to make bids, sellers were ready to upgrade, and properties were flying off the shelves. For almost any agent in any market, business was booming, and it seemed like it wouldn’t ever stop. Then mortgage rates began to rise, monthly payments became dangerously unaffordable, and the agents looking for easy commissions disappeared. But what if an industry expert told you there was still hope to help buy and sell homes? Nick Bailey, President and CEO at RE/MAX, has been in the real estate business since he was a teenager. After buying the building his local pizza shop operated in, Nick went on to house hack in college, building an impressive career at not only RE/MAX but Century 21 and Zillow. He understands the agent business better than anyone and wants YOU to know the secrets to success. In today’s episode, Nick touches on the shocking statistic that most real estate agents fail, why average agents are struggling in today’s market, how homebuyers can get around today’s high fixed interest rates, and the one thing you NEED if you want to take home consistent commission checks. In This Episode We Cover: Fixed-rate vs. adjustable-rate mortgages and new loan products that put buyers in a better position Market trends and why fix and flippers are becoming (temporary) rental property owners Why most real estate agents fail (and the steps to success that top agents follow) How to find a great agent, whether you’re a first-time home buyer or investor Niching down and why modern agents will FAIL if they can’t find their focus Why agents MUST do more than sell real estate to build wealth And So Much More!

Need housing market predictions? We’ve got them. Unfortunately, they may not be exactly what you want to hear. While most landlords hope and pray that mortgage rates will head down and the housing market will finally open back up, reality paints a much different picture. With inflation still high and the Fed refusing to budge on rates, we could be in for a wild ride over the next six months. So, what will unfold before the clock strikes midnight at the end of 2023? Stick around and find out! We brought in the heavy hitters for today’s episode. J Scott, syndicator and author of numerous best-selling real estate books, but most importantly Real Estate by the Numbers, brings his stoic and scarily accurate take to the podcast. But that’s not all. BiggerPockets CEO Scott Trench joins us to give his investor, executive, and homeowner opinion on what’s happening in the housing market. Of course, Kathy Fettke, multi-decade investor and syndication expert, brings her unique view from booming markets. We’ll go over the housing market, inflation, interest rates, unemployment, and the overall state of the economy in this show. From explaining why the Fed will either drop or raise rates this year to examining the impact of a potential recession, then discussing the somewhat cherry-picked stats chosen by the Fed, this episode goes MUCH deeper than real estate, and you could get caught off guard this year if you don’t know what’s coming. In This Episode We Cover: 2023 housing market predictions and why “things are going to be messed up” for years to come Why mortgage rates could fall (or rise) and what could cause the Fed to move Unemployment stats and why the “gig economy” could be in danger False inflation numbers and what will force inflation to drop, then spike, this fall The commercial real estate crash and why multifamily investors could see a profitless next few years And So Much More!

Buying a home might not be the best idea in 2023. You’ll have to go through a few challenges to get one under contract. First, find a homeowner who wants to sell their home; you’ll need to convince them that ditching their low rate is worth the price. Then, secure funding; but with even the best home buyer loan, you’ll probably be stuck with a seven percent rate. Wouldn’t it be easier just to rent and invest the rest of your money? According to Daryl Fairweather, Ph.D., Chief Economist at Redfin, that’s precisely what you should do. New data has shown that with home affordability at historic lows, now isn’t the best time to buy a primary residence. But where would you find the inventory even if you wanted to buy? “Locked-in” homeowners are refusing to part ways with their properties, and nobody can blame them. But, there are still a few metro areas worth buying in, and if you live in, or are moving to, one of these areas, you could be in luck. But Daryl doesn’t just explain the buying vs. renting debate. She also talks about buyer demand and its recent drop-off, mortgage rate predictions and what we can expect rates to get down to, risky real estate markets facing natural disasters, and news for real estate agents that could change how commissions are paid and collected. In This Episode We Cover Renting vs. buying and which is a better bet in 2023 Affordability, buyer demand, and why renting may be the only option for many Mortgage rate predictions and how low rates could go in the near future Insurance headaches from California and Florida and why insurers AREN’T signing new policies Migration patterns and where Americans are moving as home prices remain high New real estate agent commission news that could change who pays an agent for buying or selling a property And So Much More!

Thought we were done with mortgage rate hikes? Not so fast. The Fed always has time to get mad about something else and push interest rates even higher. This time, a surprise job report makes the Fed furious and could lead to a much more difficult housing market for investors and homebuyers. But this news isn’t all we’ve got on this episode. We’re touching on some of the biggest stories across the housing market, summing them up, and sharing them with you so you can bob and weave with the ever-changing economy. Want to invest in real estate with just a thousand bucks? If so, you’re NOT in luck because one prominent real estate crowdfunding platform has just gone bankrupt. But don’t worry; it’s not all doom and gloom. The new jobs report is painting a stellar economic picture but could lead to you having a more expensive loan. And for those that own short-term rentals, one housing market forecaster is predicting a mass sell-off due to Airbnb host income declining. Finally, we’ll talk about home prices, whether they’re actually falling or not, and how home buyers are STILL bidding even during some of the lowest affordability we’ve ever seen. Keep your pulse on the property market; tune into this week’s real estate roundup! In This Episode We Cover Short-term rental stagnation and why hosts are seeing income dwindle Whether or not a massive vacation home sell-off could come to the housing market Mortgage rate hikes, new job numbers, and why the Fed is furious again PeerStreet’s recent bankruptcy and what this means for crowdfunding investors The half-truth of home prices “falling” and why some markets are still seeing bidding wars And So Much More!

The Federal Reserve could be steering us straight into the next great recession. After decades of monetary and fiscal debacles from quantitative easing to safeguarding big banks that hurt everyday Americans, it seems almost everyone wants the Fed to be taken apart and rebuilt or shipped away, never to have economic sway again. Grave mistakes have been made over the past two decades, many of which will have unfathomable consequences for today’s economy. So, can the Fed do ANYTHING to save us? Enough with the speculating. We brought former Advisor to The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Danielle DiMartino Booth, to tell us what happens behind closed doors. Danielle was there at the beginning of quantitative easing, fighting back against a program she knew would lead to a weak economy. Now, as Danielle puts it, “everything has come home to roost,” as quick decisions made in the last financial crisis put us in a massive economic bind. This is NOT good news for real estate investors; those buying today could be in serious trouble in years to come. Throughout today’s episode, Danielle gives us her take on how the Fed could fix itself, current actions Jerome Powell, Chair of the Fed, has put into place to correct the course we’re on, and whether or not a “soft landing” is possible as the American economy heads into a recession. Finally, Danielle gives her advice on what real estate investors should do and why those exiting the market might be smarter than the rest of us. In This Episode We Cover Massive mistakes the Fed made during the Global Financial Crisis that we’re paying for today Quantitative easing explained and why “money printing” is so dangerous to the economy The “dual mandate” that’s making the Fed’s job almost impossible to achieve Recession predictions and whether we’ll face a soft landing or hard crash Why smart real estate investors are hoarding cash and refusing to buy False job data and why the unemployment rate is about to get even worse And So Much More!

We’re here with a HUGE student loan forgiveness update. Since President Biden was elected, those with student loans have been hoping and praying to have a sizable chunk of their debt wiped away. Tens of millions of borrowers would have been impacted, helping free up cash for those that need it most. But, on the other hand, taxpayers were staring at a $400B bill to forgive just a fraction of the student loan debt in America. The economic implications of student debt relief passing would have been huge, but a more significant economic impact could continue for borrowers. We’ve brought back Sarah Ewall-Wice, Political and Economics Reporter at CBS News, to give us a full student loan forgiveness update, break down what exactly happened in the Supreme Court, and what we must prepare for now that student debt relief is off the table. But, if you were banking on your loans being forgiven, fret not; a new plan may already be underway to give those with student debt another chance at redemption. Sarah walks through the legal battle the Biden Administration brought forth to get debt relief passed, what will happen to graduates now that the bill has come due, and whether or not defaults could increase across the board as a result. Dave and Sarah will also debate why a solution to rising college costs hasn’t been conceived and what you should do NOW if you have student loan debt. In This Episode We Cover A federal student loan forgiveness update and what will happen next Why the Supreme Court decided to axe the debt relief plan (it’s not what you think) Resuming student debt payments and what graduates need to do NOW Whether or not defaults across credit cards and mortgage payments could increase as a result The true cost of college and why unaffordable education MUST be tackled And So Much More!

Artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT might not be great at writing podcast intros, but when it comes to building a rental property or real estate portfolio, these platforms produce far more help than harm. While most of the general public uses AI to write poems about their dog or history papers for class, real estate investors are harnessing this technological power to buy more properties, outsource simple tasks, and reach sellers faster than ever. Want to do the same? You’ll have to stick around! For years, our panel of real estate experts have been using AI, automated apps, and software to grow their portfolios to new heights. And, even if you don’t own thousands of rentals or do hundreds of fix and flips a year (like James), you too can use this real estate tech to make your life easier, spend less time working, and focus more on what your business needs from YOU. In this episode, Dave, James, Jamil, and Kathy will go over exactly how they’re using AI platforms such as ChatGPT, the systems and software they’ve implemented into their own businesses, whether or not more automation could threaten jobs, and how you, even as a small investor, can leverage the same tech top investors use to build wealth faster! In This Episode We Cover Why ChatGPT may be good at everything but writing podcast intros Using AI platforms to create job descriptions, outreach to sellers, and take menial tasks off your plate Whether or not AI has the potential to kill jobs in the real estate sector The “job evolution” that is waiting for those who can embrace new technology The EXACT software, systems, and apps we’re using to grow our real estate portfolios And So Much More!

The next foreclosure wave is already brewing. Over the past few years, monetary moves and rash home buying decisions were made that could cause even more foreclosures to hit the market. The question is, which markets will face the most foreclosures, and how low will prices go? But that’s not all; foreclosure competition has started to spike as a new type of buyer enters the market for these deeply discounted properties. And if you want to know about foreclosures, discounted properties, and data on the markets with the biggest price cuts, Daren Blomquist from Auction.com is your man. As VP of Market Economics, Daren knows where the foreclosure market is moving before the masses do. In this episode, he gives his take on the next “wave” of foreclosures that could be headed our way, when it will hit, and the investing areas already feeling the effects. Daren also talks about the unexpected buyers entering the foreclosure market and how they could put investors at the back of the line for discounted deals. And if you’re in this specific state, prepare for your properties to be placed at open auction, as investors are forced to wait to acquire the foreclosure properties they rightfully won. Make no mistake; there are MANY deals out there for investors, but competition could start to heat up fast! In This Episode We Cover The “seeds of a bigger foreclosure wave” that are about to sprout Buyers bounce back and why the housing market and home prices have been so resilient A rise in foreclosures and what’s causing a steady uptick in homeowners forfeiting their houses New foreclosure laws that could make it even harder for investors to buy discounted properties Markets facing the deepest foreclosure price cuts Recession predictions and whether or not this will force even more foreclosures And So Much More!

In this episode, we’ll reveal four of our favorite “comeback” housing markets primed to explode over the next few years. Thanks to the recent housing correction pushing home prices lower, some top investing areas are sitting on suppressed prices that might not last long. So, what are our top markets? First, we head down south to talk about an explosive city that tanked in property pricing but now looks like a strong buy. Then, we’ll head to the Silicon Slopes to break down why this new tech hub (and ski city) boasts some surprising metrics that could mean more money for rental property investors. From there, we’ll enter into the dense forest and fog of an iconic city that isn’t even close to past its prime. Finally, we’ll finish with a nugget of wisdom from Dave on why this “fast food city” might be worth more than its munchies.

Asset allocation is arguably the most crucial step in building wealth. While most people think just buying rentals is enough, having the money set aside to protect those rentals, and subsidize your business during rough markets, can make or break your real estate portfolio. In the last crash, those entirely in real estate saw their wealth dwindle to nothing while diversified investors held strong, scooping up deals at a steep discount, making millions in the coming decade. Now, with many investors fearful that we’re on the edge of another crash, James Dainard and Kathy Fettke have stepped in to give advice only multi-decade millionaires know of. Dave, James, and Kathy will be breaking down their exact investment portfolios, walking through what they own, what they don’t, and how they structured their wealth to stay safe without stagnating. They’ll also share their advice on what to invest in TODAY, how to diversify your portfolio so you don’t get liquidated in the next crash, what they’d buy with $100,000, and “risk-free” investments like bonds still boasting favorable returns. Whether you’re just starting to invest or are looking to optimize your passive income, this episode is for you! In This Episode We Cover Asset allocation 101 and why it is SO crucial to building (and keeping) wealth Revealing our multimillion-dollar investment portfolios and how we designate our dollars Kathy’s short-term rental bet and house hacking EVEN while you’re financially free Geographic diversification vs. asset diversification and whether the market or asset matters more Protecting yourself during a real estate crash and what James wishes he did last time Bonds and “risk-free” investments that could give you a stress-free return And So Much More!

Home prices could become affordable without any of us noticing. In fact, home prices don’t even have to fall for the housing market to enter into a mild correction. With affordability hitting lows that we haven’t seen since the seventies and eighties, what could save today’s home buyers from paying for one of the most expensive mortgage payments of all time? Something must be done. And thankfully, it might already be happening. If you want to know the truth behind silent housing corrections, market-abandoning buyers, and where we could be headed, you better ask Andy Walden from Black Knight. We brought Andy on the show to talk about everything from mortgage rates to unaffordability, delinquencies, foreclosure fears, and what can be done to help our home buyers. Andy spends all day, every day, playing with some of the most vital proprietary property data sets imaginable, and he has an answer to almost every question. In this episode, Andy speaks on the housing market correction that could happen without home prices falling, why more home buyers are leaving the market, how mortgage rates could fall without the Fed’s input, and what could cause delinquencies to finally rise. In This Episode We Cover The silent housing correction and what could cause affordability to rise Mortgage rate lock activity and why we’re hitting all-time lows for home buying Bond yields, mortgage spreads, and how rates could fall without the Fed intervening The housing inventory crisis that’s causing home prices to stagnate Delinquency forecasts and two big events that would put homeowners in a tight spot And So Much More!

The housing market is stuck. Stubborn homeowners with low rates refuse to move, even as demand starts to pick back up. Homebuilders are driving ahead with more new construction homes, but is it too late to deliver the supply we so desperately needed only a year or two ago? Where is the housing market moving next, and how long will we be stuck in this standoff? Ivy Zelman from Zelman & Associates successfully predicted the last housing crash, so what does she have to say about today’s market? Ivy is a thought leader in the real estate research space. Her credibility has been showcased repeatedly as her team accurately forecasts numerous housing market moves. Constantly on the phone with institutional buyers and builders, Ivy tends to know what’s happening before even the top forecasters. In this episode, Ivy gives her opinion on today’s housing market, why buyers and sellers are “stuck,” and whether or not the “underbuilding” problem is even an issue as demographic trends start getting dangerous. She also shares which real estate markets are in the most danger, the concerning catastrophe facing many southern states, and the markets she’s most bullish on that could withstand the test of time. But, more importantly, Ivy shares her thoughts on whether or not real estate is still worth investing in and why it may be time for landlords to diversify into other assets that don’t come with such a considerable risk. In This Episode We Cover The single greatest danger affecting the housing market in 2023 The new vs. existing home challenge and why homeowners are stuck in place Affordable housing and why the “underbuilding problem” isn’t what you think it is “Tremendous” competition for rentals and which investors should be concerned Underrated housing markets that are seeing strong demand and demographic tailwinds 2008 vs. 2023 and whether another housing crash is even feasible in today’s market And So Much More!

Home sales have been falling fast since interest rates rose last year. After a spree of house shopping and record-low mortgage rates, homeowners sit comfortably in 2023. They’ve got affordable monthly payments, a home that is (probably) bigger or better than their last one, and expect a potential recession sometime soon. So why would today’s homeowners give up all that security to buy in a hazardous market? Mark Fleming from First American has been trying to uncover the answer. Mark serves as Chief Economist for First American, one of the United State’s leading title companies. Mark’s job is to predict and forecast the housing market, home sales, and buyer activity. And in 2023’s topsy-turvy economy, this is becoming a little more difficult. Mark has built a model to help predict home sales, looking at key factors like household formation, affordability, current mortgage rates, demographics, and more. And he’s got some interesting findings to share. The days of low interest rates and property upgrading may be over. Homeowners are now staying in their houses for twice as long, holding off on buying their next home until favorable conditions arise. But, this creates a “prisoner’s dilemma” for home sellers and buyers. With most of the United State’s potential property inventory sitting in the hands of those who refuse to sell, we’re answering, “What happens next?” in this episode. In This Episode We Cover Home sales predictions and what happens when there is NO available inventory Loose monetary policy and how low interest rates caused an affordability spike Two critical factors that drive the market to soar or slump Home turnover and why today’s homeowner is “locked-in” and refusing to move The “prisoner’s dilemma” that’s caused the housing market to stagnate A return to the “new normal” and what future homebuying could look like And So Much More!

Everyone wants to know how to get rich in a recession. The problem? With many asset prices plummeting and a bipolar real estate market, parking cash in any asset could be considered a risk. But, a particular sect of real estate still makes money even if the housing market starts to crash and home prices freefall. This is one of the lowest-risk ways to start investing, especially during a recession, and it made our expert guests, James Dainard and Jamil Damji, very wealthy. James and Jamil have been using this strategy since the early 2000s. When home prices started plummeting in 2008, buying rentals became risky, and fix and flips got decimated. Thankfully, this often misunderstood type of “investing” allowed them to capitalize on the price action, picking up deals that would make great buys and passing them along to buyers who could hold their own during the crash. This same strategy still makes them millions of dollars today, and you can start using it! In Jamil’s newest book, How to Wholesale Real Estate, you’ll learn how to build a scalable wholesale business without much cash, experience, or contacts. This is one of the BEST ways for new investors to get started and is a phenomenal source of supplemental income for investors and flippers who have too many deals on their desks. Think it’s too late to make money in an economy like this? Think again! In This Episode We Cover Jamil’s newest book, How to Wholesale Real Estate, and using it to get your first deal done Wholesaling explained and why “trading” real estate may be better than investing in it Recession-proof real estate investing and why wholesaling is one of the lowest-risk ways to start making money in real estate Million-dollar relationships and the people you MUST have in your circle to be successful Finding buyers and why investors don’t disappear even when home prices start to fall The housing markets that are on FIRE for wholesalers (and which are showing HUGE opportunity) And So Much More!

The housing market REFUSES to slow down. Last year, homebuilders had a bleak outlook for 2023 home buying, but now, not even halfway through the year, they’ve reversed their sentiment with high hopes that demand stays red hot. How is this even happening? With mortgage rates higher than they’ve been in years and barely any inventory on the market, wouldn’t buyers take the hint and let their foot off the gas? We brought back John Burns from John Burns Research and Consulting to give us some answers. John’s team has some of the freshest housing market data available. With over 1,000 research contracts a year, they’re constantly talking to homebuilders, buyers, flippers, and everyone in the home-buying process. John touches on household formation and why millennials are saying “no” to roommates, even as prices rise. He’ll also talk about where Americans are moving, what’s causing construction costs to come down (but also grow?), and why the Fed is failing to kill the housing market. Also, if you want to give a hand to the generation helping young buyers the most, it seems that baby boomers are having an unexpectedly significant role in propping up the economy. We’ll also get into new affordable housing projects that could bring more starter homes on the market. Want to know John’s thoughts on what could happen in the housing market over the coming months? Stick around! In This Episode We Cover Why high mortgage rates HAVEN’T killed the housing market yet American migration and which states are starting to see stagnating populations Multifamily rent updates and why tenants may have the upper hand New builds, cheaper material costs, and why your next home may be a new construction INSANE debt-to-equity stats that highlight why homeowners refuse to sell New affordable housing projects that could give homebuyers better options And So Much More!

There have been a lot of market crash predictions over the past few years. Since the 2020 flash crash and subsequent asset price skyrocketing, investors have always had an inkling that this wouldn’t last. Once inflation hit decade-long highs, the Fed stepped in to quell constant price pumping, but that came with even higher mortgage rates. Now, commercial real estate investors and everyone else with short-term financing are stuck in a bind. Once these loans come due, they’ll either have to pay them off, refinance, or face foreclosure. So, what happens next? While Dave Meyer and James Dainard are housing market experts, neither know macroeconomic data as well as Fundrise’s Ben Miller, whose job is to predict market patterns and make the best investing decisions. Last time we talked to Ben, he hit on the “Great Deleveraging,” which would force a massive commercial real estate crash, but today he’s talking about bank failures, a financial collapse timeline, and what he’s buying as soon as the market drops. The wealthiest in America know that market crashes and financial collapses aren’t a time to worry; they’re a time to make millions! Ben shares the markets with the most opportunity, how to pick up properties for dimes on the dollar, and why hoarding cash during a time like this isn’t such a bad idea. So don’t fear market downturns like this; take advantage of them! In This Episode We Cover The “Great Deleveraging” explained and why commercial real estate prices will fall fast Bank collapses and what happens when liquidity starts to run dry Quantitative easing and whether the Fed will continue to inject the market with money Assets to keep an eye on during the crash and what Ben is buying Loans, lending, and what investors can do when banks won’t fund their deals Market crash predictions and when Ben expects the situation to escalate And So Much More!

The real estate market was supposed to crash, but it didn’t. Interest rates were supposed to cause a significant slowdown, but they didn’t. Hot markets were supposed to give buyers a break as activity plummeted, but...well, you get the point. The 2023 housing market could be summed up in one word: weird. With the Federal Reserve fighting against the market, sellers refusing to move, and buyers still dealing with record-low inventory, many of us question whether or not we’re stuck in a real estate-inspired groundhog day, where 2021-2022 repeats until infinity. While this (probably) isn’t happening, the real estate market is showing signs of restarting after a mortgage-rate-caused flash correction. Lance Lambert knows about this all too well. He’s been reporting on the housing market for years and knows exactly why America’s property market has become so polarized, even with such immense downward pressure. With cities like Austin still in the slumps and markets like Miami hitting housing price peaks, where is a safe place to invest? If you want to get a macro sense of where we are in the economy, how the housing market works, and why the Fed is having such a hard time, this is the episode for you. Lance brings us back to 2020 and explains how the pandemic fueled “gigantic” demand that was never met, why a housing crash didn’t happen, and whether or not mortgage rates could go even higher. In This Episode We Cover The “polarized” housing market and which areas are staying red hot while others freeze The post-pandemic property market effects and how the housing market hurt inflation efforts from the Fed Mortgage rate predictions and what could cause rates to rise or fall this year East vs. West Coast and why cities like Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles cooled off so quickly Affordability updates and why builders have the upper hand on the Fed The “Two C’s” that are controlling home prices and the housing market in 2023 And So Much More!

The US real estate market is a bit complex. In the South, homes are still quickly getting under contract as those from the North and West move to warmer climates. But demand is brewing in states that you probably haven’t even considered. Plus, a comeback no one expected could be on the horizon. In a market like 2023, anything and everything is up for grabs, and we could be back to the wild housing market we thought was left behind in 2022. To put each area of America head-to-head, we’ve got Dave Meyer, Henry Washington, James Dainard, and Kathy Fettke, representing the Northeast, South, West Coast, and Midwest, respectively. Each of these markets has its own set of benefits, ranging from affordability to strong job growth, optimal climates, and appreciation. So which area could be the best bet for investors in 2023? We’ll touch on the latest housing market data to see where each of these regions stand, where median home prices are heading, why often overlooked markets are finally getting the attention they deserve, and whether or not the West Coast truly is the best coast. If you want to invest but don’t know where, stick around! In This Episode We Cover Pitting the Northeast, South, West Coast, and Midwest markets against each other The surprising cities that are seeing HUGE competition even during a slow housing market Tertiary markets outside of big metros that could be solid investing areas A West Coast comeback and why demand is increasing in traditionally high-priced cities MASSIVE price jumps throughout the South (and the few cities where prices are falling fast) Affordable appreciation and why markets with low-priced homes won’t stay that way for long And So Much More!

Rising interest rates, a new recession, high unemployment, and much more economic uncertainty could be on the way. But what can you expect after such a turbulent past few years? The US took significant financial and monetary moves to prevent an economic collapse in 2020, but as a result, mistakes were made. In 2023, we’re paying for the economic “errors” of our past, and many of them haven’t even caught up to us yet. Jason Furman, Harvard professor and former Director of the National Economic Council under President Obama, brings both optimism and realism to share. In Jason’s eyes, the “supply-based inflation” argument isn’t holding up, and something much more severe is causing prices to rise as rapidly as they are. So how do we get out of this bind? Jason shares the scenarios that would have to unfold for us not to end up in a recession or with higher interest rates, but reality foreshadows something much different. When will we break out of this constant cycle of price hikes? What has to happen for the Fed to finally take its foot off the gas? Will today’s strong employment last, or do jobs need to be cut for the economy to recover? Stick around to hear these questions, and many more, answered by one of the world’s leading economists. In This Episode We Cover 2023 economic forecasts from one of the world’s leading economists The true cause of today’s rampant inflation and what could finally force it to stop The “wage-price persistence” and why most people are wrong about price hikes Economic “errors” of 2020 and 2021 that we’ll be paying back for years to come Rising rates and whether or not the Fed is really done with bumping basis points Unemployment and how long today’s strong job market will actually last Consequences of the US defaulting on its debt and the scary-enough odds that it could happen And So Much More!

The most significant wealth transfer in American history could be upon us. As money-printing mania continues worldwide, dollars (and most other currencies) are worth less and less, while tangible assets, like real estate, are worth more. This is bad news for the average American, with most of their wealth trapped in a bank account or stock portfolio. If the most commonly used assets, like bonds, equities, and cash, become worthless, what happens to America? To help answer this seemingly unfathomable question is Chris Martenson, CEO of Peak Prosperity. Chris spent his early career working for some of the largest corporations in America, but after bubbles started to burst in the early 2000s, he took a look into the inner workings of the American economy. What initially started as a simple interest became an all-consuming quest to understand why political executives and massive institutions like the Federal Reserve were making irrational choices for the American people. In today’s show, Chris uncovers the truth behind quantitative easing, money-printing, and the Fed’s consistent financial swerving. He’ll also explain why bubbles are starting to burst in today’s economy, how interest rates had a large part to play in inflation, the new reality of de-dollarization, and why we may be on the cusp of the largest wealth transfer in American history. If Chris is correct, we could enter an entirely new era of the economy, one that only a few of us will thrive in. In This Episode We Cover Money-printing and the true effects of the Fed’s massive quantitative easing Asset price bubbles and which are the closest to bursting in 2023 Interest rate hikes and how they’ve contributed to hideous inflation De-dollarization and how America’s wealth could be at risk if USD loses its global status Defaulting on the US debt and what happens if the government can’t pay its bills The new American wealth transfer and why only these “productive” assets will survive The most important “capital” anyone can have if/when the economy breaks down And So Much More!

Multifamily and commercial real estate has been the butt of the joke over the past year. As mortgage rates started to rise, commercial real estate investors were hit hard, as profits became pitiful and asking prices laughable. For months, the media has been predicting a commercial real estate crash, citing a wave of mortgages coming due with sellers who won’t be able to pay the high price of a refinance. And while these fundamentals aren’t wrong, a mortgage meltdown might not be a reality. So instead of speculating, we brought on Richard Hill, Head of Real Estate Strategy & Research at Cohen & Steers, to differentiate the facts from fiction. Richard knows that loans are coming due, and buyers with low-rate adjustable mortgages may be in trouble. But that’s not the whole story, and some parts of commercial real estate could be primed for massive growth that residential investors have no clue about. The opportunities could be flowing soon for those who know where to look. In this episode, Richard will talk about the true risk of commercial real estate mortgages, which sectors are in the most trouble, which are being blown out of proportion, and how much investors can expect prices to drop. Plus, Richard gives his take on the three best times to invest in a quickly changing market like we’re seeing today. In This Episode We Cover The commercial real estate “crash” and how far prices will actually fall Commercial debt coming due and which sectors have the highest risk Bank failures and what’s causing big banks to dump their commercial loans The future of financing for commercial investments and whether funding will become a challenge Mortgage exposure and why demanding LTV (loan-to-value) requirements make for better investments The astronomical tax implications of defaulting on your mortgage (DON’T Do this) When to buy and which industries are primed for growth in the next few years And So Much More!

Homebuyers are gearing up for a hot summer housing market as demand starts to surge. At the beginning of 2023, nobody thought it possible that we’d be in the position we’re in today. Days on market have shrunk in some areas as listing attendance explodes and buyers' home-owning dreams resurface. But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows in the world of real estate; something bleak is on the horizon for large-scale investors. We’re halfway through Q2 of 2023, and the real estate market is changing fast month by month. Multifamily buyers are sitting on the sidelines, foaming at the mouth to dig in on deals that will soon be dead, but primary residence shoppers are facing another challenge. With a lack of inventory and mortgage rates on the verge of falling again, the buyers who were kicked out of the market last year are hungry to get back in the game. Don’t know whether now is the right time to buy your next rental property? Kathy and James give up-to-date advice on what they’re pursuing in today’s market and whether or not now is the time to get aggressive.

Don’t you miss the “normal” housing market? You know, a few years back when buyers didn’t have to bludgeon other bidders just to get into a reasonably priced house? The times when the average American could afford a roof over their head, and sellers actually had a reason to put their homes on the market. Well, we may be returning to a “normal” housing market faster than you think, but a few key things will need to happen first. We’re back on On the Market, bringing you the most up-to-date housing market headlines, separating fact from fiction, and giving you everything you need to know to make the best investment decisions. This time, we’re running through four of the top stories in our newsfeeds. First, James touches on the $1.5T ticking time bomb that commercial real estate faces and what happens if a wave of debt gets defaulted on. Next, we’ll shift into more residential territory as Kathy dissects the “divided” housing market and updates us on how post-pandemic boomtowns are faring. Then, a return to normalcy, as Henry hits on how the 2023’s housing market correction could give homebuyers some leverage they deserve. Finally, mortgage rate updates and whether or not the spring season of homebuying will “survive” as buyers see a bump in their rates. Stick around to get all the info you need to build your real estate portfolio, so when ChatGPT takes your job, you’ll have some passive income to rely on!

High mortgage rates chewed up and spit out homebuyers, loan officers, and the mortgage industry. With a bump of a few percentage points, buyers exited the market quickly, and the number of mortgages got cut in half almost instantly. But what else can you expect from the most significant mortgage rate movement in forty years? Now, nearly a year after mortgage rates took their initial hike, there may be some hope on the horizon that we’re returning to better days for both buyers and sellers. But who better to ask about mortgages than the President of Rocket Mortgage, Tim Birkmeier? Tim has been in the mortgage industry for over two decades, working his way up from loan officer to president, helping turn Rocket Mortgage from a regional company into America’s largest mortgage lender. He knows loans inside and out and has some predictions on how loans could change over the next few years. Tim touches on why FHA loans are seeing a comeback (especially as their fees get cut), why HELOCs are in an equity-based revival, and how to “lock in” your mortgage rate so you don’t get stuck buying when basis points jump up. So if you’re itching to get back in the real estate game but don’t know how long high mortgage rates will last, stick around! Tim has answers only an industry-leading expert would know. In This Episode We Cover Mortgage rate hikes and what 6% interest rates did to the housing market FHA’s comeback and why your mortgage insurance cost is about to go down Upgrading vs. moving and why homeowners and taking more equity out than ever before Rate buydowns and Rocket’s “Inflation Buster” program to keep your payment low New digital mortgage transactions and the future of getting approved Buyer demand and whether or not the seller stalemate will soon be over And So Much More!

Got a high credit score? Your mortgage could get more expensive. And no, this episode isn’t releasing on Opposite Day. New mortgage rules are incentivizing those with poor credit while punishing those that have built up their credit.

Don’t know how to run comps on a house? This single skill could be costing you, or making you, hundreds of thousands on every deal you do. No matter what level of real estate investor you are—rookie, intermediate, veteran—the ability to comp correctly will put you above the rest as you walk away from deals far richer than other investors. And during a housing market correction like we’re in today, this skill isn’t just something that’ll make you more money—it’s what will stop you from going broke. Comping, formally known as pulling comparables, is putting a potential property up against other properties in the area, finding a comparable price, and seeing how much can be made on a deal. Most real estate investors have pulled comps a few dozen times, but investors like James Dainard and Jamil Damji calculate THOUSANDS of comps monthly. They’re looking for the profitable property needle in the housing market haystack, and as two self-made multimillionaires, their experience shows that they know what they’re talking about. In this episode, James and Jamil will show you EXACTLY how expert investors comp properties, what you need to look out for when calculating your own, and the “appraisal rules” that were taken DIRECTLY from the source on valuing properties. The tips in this episode could make you six figures more on your next deal. DON’T miss this. In This Episode We Cover How to determine the value of ANY property in ANY location Comping explained and why you MUST have this skill to invest in real estate successfully The “appraisal rules” Jamil uses to get perfect comps on any deal he does Cities vs. suburbs and the BIG mistake investors can make when comping these two areas Where to find property information and the ONE source you should always start with Comping during a housing market corrections and what to do when prices start to slide The ONE tweak James made that helped his recent house flip make $100K+ more And So Much More!

Today, we’ll let you in on the not-so-secret way to predict housing market moves so you can invest better than the rest. Altos Research’s Mike Simonsen didn’t start as a housing market enthusiast.

So, he started Altos Research to finally give real estate investors, realtors, and everyday homebuyers the tools to make their best buying decisions. Over the past seventeen years, Mike has been analyzing, segmenting, and qualifying housing market data for some of the most prominent investors in America. And now, he’s here today to share his time-tested secrets with you. No matter your skill level, you’ll be able to pinpoint the housing market signals Mike showcases so you uncover where the market is moving before the masses.

The US dollar is in danger. For decades, trading in USD (US dollars) has been the standard for almost every country on the planet. Thanks to America’s consistent economy, stable government, and growing global market share, the USD has become the most sound currency on earth. But things are starting to change. USD dominance is being threatened by BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa), looking to ditch the dollar for a currency they control. But why are most countries trading in USD? When was USD chosen to be the world’s reserve currency? And what does “reserve currency” even mean? Dave Meyer breaks it down in this episode of On the Market, as he details the history of USD dominance, the post-World War rise of a reserve currency, and why the “petrodollar” may be losing steam as other economies grow larger. Dave will also go in-depth on the economic effects of leaving a USD standard, when the USD could be replaced, which currencies are competing, and why dollar dominance (probably) won’t be over anytime soon. American or not, decoupling from a USD standard could have huge effects on your investments, wealth, and spending power. In This Episode We Cover What a “reserve currency” really is and how the USD was chosen to be one BRICS' fight for economic dominance and which currency will come out on top How the Ukraine-Russia conflict exacerbated the need for multiple reserve currencies Going off the gold standard and how a diluted US currency may have made things worse The “petrodollar” and why countries like Saudi Arabia are leaving the USD behind The often-untouched benefits of a non-USD-dominated world And So Much More!

What if we told you there was a real estate tax loophole that would help you write off most of your income without becoming a real estate professional or going through some precarious property scheme? If you’ve heard stories of wealthy investors making MASSIVE profits through rental properties and walking away with a near-zero tax liability, this could be the strategy that they were using. But, if you want to know what it is and how to use it to your advantage, you’ll have to tune in. We’ve brought on not one but two financial powerhouses to explain the ins and outs of this rental property tax loophole. Brandon Hall, CPA, and Kyle Mast, CFP, have used this exact loophole to shave their tax liabilities down dramatically. The requirements to take advantage aren’t complicated, but you must be a rental property investor of a specific type of property. And not all CPAs will know how to do this, which is why you must find the right one BEFORE you file! In this episode, Brandon and Kyle will talk about how to unlock this tax loophole, the requirements you’ll need to hit, the logistics of using it, and the red flags you’ll need to keep an eye out for when giving it a go. In a few simple steps, you could eliminate your income taxes in a completely legal way, BUT you’ll want to make sure you follow Brandon and Kyle’s suggestions to a tee. In This Episode We Cover The real estate tax “loophole” that allows you to write off a SIGNIFICANT portion of your income Real estate professional status and how those that don’t make the cut can still write off BIG deductions The requirements you’ll have to hit to realize this real estate tax deduction Bonus depreciation, cost segregation, and why NOW is the time to take advantage Depreciation recapture and what to do to avoid paying taxes in the future Red flags to watch out for when trying this strategy and whose advice you can actually trust And So Much More!

Land investing may be the newest way to make cash flow in today’s increasingly difficult housing market. With more and more investors fighting over real estate deals that break even at best, land investors are sitting pretty, with an almost unlimited supply of new investments and an even more robust pipeline of potential buyers. And while land investing may not have the passive income potential of a rental property, there are still numerous ways to take home some serious cash flow by dealing dirt. Daniel Apke fell in love with land investing after a long history as a serial side hustler. He tried everything from ghostwriting romance novels to setting up stores online, but nothing gave him the financial freedom that land investing did. Then, thanks to a helpful tip from a mentor, Daniel was able to start buying land at SIGNIFICANT discounts. He would then flip this land on or off-market to anyone willing to buy, allowing him to walk away with a handsome payday WITHOUT dealing with tenants, toilets, or trash. Now, Daniel has built an entire business out of flipping raw land, and the perks of a property-less lot may pique your interest. Whether it’s low competition, no permitting hassles, or the ability to exit multiple ways, land investing could be an attractive alternative to rental property investing as competition gets tough. If you think there isn’t much under the surface of these dirt deals, you’d be wise to stick around! In This Episode We Cover Finding financial freedom through land investing and how you can repeat Daniel’s system Land flipping explained and where to find the most profitable lots of raw land The BIG bottlenecks you’ll face when selling land and how to get past them with creative financing The land-buying business model and how to buy, analyze, and sell dirt Off-market land and the best method to find undervalued lots with low competition Subdividing and lot splitting to make the most out of a large plot of land Land demand and whether or not this type of activity will last for years to come And So Much More!

Commercial real estate has seen a severe drop in demand. From office buildings to multifamily and more, rising mortgage rates and unwavering cap rates are making commercial real estate a gamble more than a grounded investment. But, when buyers start exiting the market, sellers get desperate, and this chain reaction allows committed commercial real estate investors to scoop up deals worth millions more just a few years back. We have a couple of those deals coming up on this episode! We’re back with another audience deal show. This time, we’re walking through two commercial real estate deals with serious potential, but their prices don’t match reality. First, we talk to Ben Mashat, who recently went full-time into real estate investing after scaling a successful wholesaling operation. He’s got a MASSIVE deal opportunity—a five-story office building with seven-figure potential profits. The problem? A price tag that doesn’t match today’s commercial property market. Next, we hear from Heidi De La Torre, who’s looking at a multi-unit beachside property with impressive price comps nearby. But, with zoning issues and a seller that can’t make up their mind, Heidi is struggling with which move to make as she debates taking on a project with this many pitfalls. As always, our panel of expert investors will give their suggestions on what our guests should do next and whether these deals are even worth chasing! In This Episode We Cover The state of commercial real estate and why sellers are getting desperate as the buyer pool dries up NOI (net operating income) explained and ENSURING yours is accurate before you get a deal under contract The downside of office investing and why so many buyers are straying away from this property type The cap rate debate and whether or not this metric is the most important factor when deciding on a deal Property zoning, code violations, and how unpermitted builds could COST you Wholesaling large deals and details you’ll NEED to find qualified buyers And So Much More!

Real estate scams and Ponzi schemes have been around for centuries, but with the advent of the internet, social media, and digital banking, more and more scams and schemes have been popping up. You might think that only the uneducated or ill-informed fall prey to these monetary predators, but you’d be wrong. Just recently, two of our expert guests, James Dainard and Jamil Damji, were ripped off in Ponzi schemes that the federal government intervened in. Thankfully, James pulled out his principal earlier on, realizing what was happening. But Jamil was blindsided, leaving him with a seven-figure loss. Both James and Jamil were brave enough to share their stories, and more importantly, the entire On the Market panel have come together to break down how NOT to get scammed on your next investment. Kathy Fettke, a syndicator herself, describes EXACTLY what to look for when passively investing in a deal and why inexperienced operators have become the norm in 2023. Next, Henry Washington shares what you MUST do to ensure a contractor doesn’t run off with your money and how to pace a project, so you aren’t left with an empty bank account and half-done home renovation. Then, we’ll switch gears as Jamil gives actionable steps to ensure your wholesaler brings you a real deal. Finally, James highlights which lenders you should or shouldn’t use and how inexperienced investors are getting strapped with loans that could liquefy their deals all at once. To finish the episode, James and Jamil give the nitty-gritty details of the Ponzi schemes they fell victim to and how even experienced investors can be taken advantage of. In This Episode We Cover Losing a million dollars on one investment and the telltale signs of a Ponzi scheme How to vet your syndicator/operator and why track record means EVERYTHING Paying your contractor in stages and the reason Henry will NEVER pay for a project all at once The documents you NEED to confirm when buying a deal from a real estate wholesaler “Backyard lenders” and why flippers/BRRRRers should consider taking loans that are close to home The “affinity fraud” Ponzi scheme and why you should NEVER invest based on faith A $650M movie rights scam and how James noticed the red flags before any other investor did And So Much More!

Don’t know if your rental’s zoning could sprout numerous red flags on a sale? We’ve brought some On the Market listeners in live to go over the deals they’re doing in 2023, which concerns they’re coming up with, and how they’re building wealth while battling against the economic tidal wave hitting the housing market. Michael Yi and Matt McMains, two of Henry Washington’s mentees, have been trying to hit home run deals in Florida. Michael was able to lock down an underpriced rental property that has almost unbelievable cash flow but with some zoning red flags that could catch him off guard in a sale. On the Panhandle, Matt is weeks away from closing on an out-of-state flip, but with rates jumping up and property holding time getting pricey, expert flipper James Dainard advises caution when getting into a deal like this. One thing is for sure; there are still plenty of ways to profit with investment properties, EVEN in today’s wild housing market!

Last week, the Federal Reserve both surprisingly and unsurprisingly raised rates. For weeks leading up to this meeting, investors had a glimmer of hope that the historical rate hikes would end and that we could finally look forward to a time of reasonable mortgage rates and sustainable home prices. But, even with high rates, the housing market has taken some surprisingly strong wins. We’ll get into today’s top real estate-related stories in this episode! Welcome back to another correspondents show where our “housing market data without the hysteria” expert guests bring in some of the most hard-hitting headlines that could affect real estate investors. Dave starts by professing his deep respect for Jerome Powell’s decision to hike rates even higher and goes into why the Fed could be playing “mind games” with the American people. Next, Henry hits on how home price drops just hit a new threshold not seen in over a decade! Back on the residential side, James breaks down the good news for February home sales, but soon after, Jamil and Kathy touch on commercial real estate stats that have banks, lenders, and investors starting to sweat. But, what could be bad news for some is great news for others, and if you’ve been looking to pick up steals and deals during a time when competition is low, now may be the PERFECT time to get in the market! In This Episode We Cover Interest rates rise again as the Fed plays “mind games” with the American public Home price updates and why the housing market just crossed into 2012 territory Housing market momentum and why homebuyers have gotten back into the game The commercial real estate crash and why CRAZY deals could be around the corner Liquidity tightening and why raising capital and getting mortgages could become a lot harder The HUGE opportunity to invest in a certain asset class that could make a big comeback And So Much More!

Back in 2008, the housing market was in freefall. With foreclosures at record highs, homeowners nationwide had to return their residences to the banks. The problem? Banks didn’t want them. Big banks never wanted to be conglomerate landlords. So, who did they pass the homes off to? Institutional investors, REITs, and iBuyers that many real estate investors fear and also blame for today’s real estate problems. But is today’s affordability crisis really Wall Street’s fault, or is there someone else to blame? Back from Moody’s Analytics, we’ve got Thomas LaSalvia and Ermengarde Jabir on the show to explain the situation. Over the past few years, there has been quite a lot of bad blood between single-family rental investors and institutional investors on Wall Street. For small, mom-and-pop investors, these large landlord conglomerates seem to be stealing homes, making it harder for new investors to get into the housing market and even more challenging for first-time homebuyers to get a primary residence. But, the data points to something different. Ermengarde and Thomas explain exactly what institutional investors have been doing as of late, how they may have saved the housing market during the last crash, whether or not they’re still buying in today’s market, and how they’re affecting everyday homebuyers. We’ll also touch on pricing, affordability, and why new construction is kicking starter homes off the to-build list. In This Episode We Cover What led to the 2008 housing crash and how Wall Street stepped in to stabilize prices How institutional investors have been growing over the past decade and their plan for the future Single-family home construction and why first-time homebuyers AREN’T the target market Homeownership, America’s “renter nation,” and whether or not Wall Street is stealing homes from buyers Why institutional investors ONLY buy in specific real estate markets (and where they’re buying now) Who owns the most single-family rental properties across the country And So Much More!

Bank failures were a thing of the past—until a couple of weeks ago. After Silicon Valley Bank’s (SVB) fall from grace and numerous other regional and small-time banks going under, Americans are holding their cash with an iron grip, not knowing whether or not a recession or soft landing could be on the horizon. And with more economic instability comes more fear, panic, and doubt from the general public. Thankfully, we’ve got Mark Zandi, Chief Economist at Moody’s Analytics, to share some economic truths (instead of crash-fueled terror). Mark knows the economy inside and out and understands the true impact behind these bank crashes. He gives his opinions on whether or not this series of bank crashes could lead to an even greater recession, why the government was forced to build a bailout, and how real estate and the economy will be affected as we try to rebuild from this fragile system collapsing. And, if you’re worried that the big banks could start to crumble under their own weight, Mark has some information that’ll quell your fears. But we’re not just hitting on bank news. Mark shares how a “slowcession” could occur throughout the US, leading to a lackluster economy as unemployment grows and GDP growth slows. He also gives mortgage rate predictions and discusses the one real estate type that could be in BIG trouble over the next few years. In This Episode We Cover Silicon Valley Bank’s (SVB) collapse explained and why big banks aren’t worried The social-medial-fueled panic and fear cycle that is hurting the economy The bright side of a bank bailout and how to avoid a systematic collapse Recessions vs. “slowcessions” and why the latter WON’T be a soft landing Real estate prices and which property type could go BUST over the next few years Mortgage rate predictions and why we wouldn’t hold our breath on three-percent rates And So Much More!

Unemployment was supposed to be much higher by now. With the Federal Reserve increasing its rate hikes over 2022 and into 2023, the labor market should have cracked already. But it hasn’t, and many mainstream investors have struggled to determine why. With a higher cost of capital, businesses should be more selective with who they’re hiring and keeping, but instead, we’re seeing the labor market have much more power than they’ve had in the past. So, did we successfully dodge an employment crisis, or is a rude awakening coming our way? Joe Brusuelas, principal and chief economist for RSM US LLP, knows that we’re thinking about unemployment all wrong. As a leading economist with over twenty years of experience, Joe has seen multiple recessions, crashes, and unemployment crises. He knows exactly what it would take to make the labor market snap and push the country into a recession. Joe breaks down precisely what the Federal Reserve has been planning, when its interest rate hikes will finally take effect, and what the future of the labor market looks like. He also touches on how we may be entering an entirely different era of the economy, one with tight employment, higher interest rates, and higher inflation than we’ve been used to. This directly affects almost every consumer in America, and investors can get ahead of the economy by knowing when this unemployment scale will finally balance. So don’t sit on the sidelines and be surprised when these economic forces take shape. Tune in!

Both SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) and Signature Bank have crashed and burned dramatically over the past week. What once was a few large customers making withdrawals quickly turned into a bank run of epic proportions. Within just a few days, SVB went from one of the largest banks in the United States to one of the biggest bank failures in the nation’s history. But what led to such a fast-paced collapse, and are more banks on the chopping block? You don’t need to be an expert economist to understand what happened at SVB and Signature Bank this week. But you will want to hear Dave Meyer’s take on what could come next. With bailouts back on the table, many Americans fear we’re on the edge of a total financial collapse, mirroring what unfolded in 2008. With more and more Americans going on cash grabs, trying to keep their wealth safe from the “domino effect” of bank failures, what should everyday investors prepare for? More specifically, for our beloved real estate investors, how could SVB’s failure affect the housing market? Will the Federal Reserve finally be forced to end its aggressive rate hikes? Could money flood into real estate as hard assets become more attractive? Stick around as Dave explains this week’s wild events and what it could mean for the future of the US economy. In This Episode We Cover SVB’s (Silicon Valley Bank) collapse explained and why it failed so fast The bank run “domino effect” that could put other intuitions at risk Why a “bailout” happened so quickly, and whether customer funds were secured Bond yields and why making long-term investments was a risky bet for SVB The future of mortgage rates and how SVB’s failure could lead to fewer rate hikes The psychology behind a bank failure and how it affects the entire economy And So Much More!

The housing market is stuck in a standoff. On one side, you have buyers, repeatedly beaten with high home prices, higher mortgage rates, and almost non-existent affordability. On the other, you have the sellers, who are sitting on low-interest-rate mortgages, unwilling to take a price lower than they want, waiting for rates to come back down, so the bidding wars begin all over again. This standoff has caused the housing market to come to a halt, with inventory at unbelievably low levels and no one willing to buy or sell. But weren’t we supposed to be past this? When rates dropped earlier this year, the housing market looked like it was on a fast track to a real estate revival. But now, homebuyers, sellers, and investors don’t know where to turn. And that’s precisely why we brought on HousingWire Lead Analyst Logan Mohtashami, the one person who knows the real estate market better than the rest. Last time we had Logan on, he debunked the claim of a 2008-style housing crash repeat, and now, he’s on to forecast when the housing market could finally reach a healthy point again. Logan knows why homeowners aren’t selling, why buyers aren’t bidding, and when mortgage rates will come back down. With some simple stats and data, Logan lays out almost exactly what would have to happen for us to enter a normal housing market and gives a rough timeline of when we can expect these changes to take place. And if you’re still on the “it’s gonna crash!” bandwagon, we’d suggest sticking around for Logan’s full explanation, as it may completely reverse what you thought was conceivable. In This Episode We Cover Mortgage rate forecasts and what has to “break” for rates to come back down Foreclosures, distressed sellers, and why there isn’t more inventory on the market Homebuyers vs. sellers and why neither of these two will make moves until the other does 2008 vs. 2023 and why a Great Recession repeat is a lot less likely than you think What could cause affordability to rise and help homebuyers get into properties Rent growth declines and why rents are starting to stall even as homebuying becomes challenging The commercial real estate “crash” and which sector is most primed for price cuts And So Much More!

This housing market is a tough nut to crack. One week, rates are coming back down, buyers are gearing up to re-enter the real estate market, and investors are feeling optimistic. Then, the following week, inflation spikes, mortgage rates jump, and affordability plummets back down to a depressing level. Because of this topsy-turvy economy we find ourselves in, we get a slew of questions on almost every episode asking us to predict what will happen next. And today, the entire On the Market panel has flown out to Denver to get this live debate going. That’s right. Dave Meyer is joined by Henry Washington, James Dainard, Jamil Damji, and Kathy Fettke to pop some bottles, rock some chains (thank you, James), and give you up-to-date info on the housing market. We’ve taken a few of our favorite questions from the comment section and got the panel’s opinions on some of today’s most pressing topics. First, we’ll talk about why new homes are cheaper than existing homes in many markets and whether or not this is a red flag for the housing market. Then, we enter lender territory and discuss which markets are seeing new down payment requirements and which allow you to still score deals at ten to fifteen percent down. We’ll also revisit the commercial real estate crash and what could happen once these massive balloon payments come due. But don’t worry, there’s still some optimism afoot, as a couple of our expert guests predict a housing market boom could be coming in only a matter of months. So, don’t get caught in the rocky waves of this real estate market; tune in to get the scoop on everything happening on the market. In This Episode We Cover The incoming housing market “boom” that could start another buying frenzy New construction vs. existing homes and which is a safer bet as a new investor Down payment requirements and why so many lenders are asking for more The commercial real estate crash and how it could create insane deals for investors with cash on hand The state of the economy and why there’s so much contradictory data pointing in different directions Why you should always buy two plane tickets when planning your next trip And So Much More!

The 2023 recession is off to a strange start. Homebuyer activity has rallied, consumer spending is up, and unemployment is low. Is a recession really on the way, and if so, has anyone told the Fed what's happening in today’s economy? With a good chunk of economists still betting on a recession in 2023, who’s right and who’s wrong? And if there isn’t a recession incoming, can real estate investors take advantage of this artificial instability to get even better deals done? We’re back with our panel of experts, Henry Washington, Jamil Damji, and Kathy Fettke, to get their take on whether or not this period of economic uncertainty is over. Back in 2022, with mortgage rates picking up, inflation hitting decade-long highs, and the housing market starting to stutter, most Americans were right to believe that we were on the cusp of a recession. And real estate investors were doing deals left and right, trying to get as many homes under contract for the lowest price. And only a few months later, things have started to change, but investors are still getting incredible deals done, and if you tune into this episode, you can too! We talk about how this “white-collar recession” is causing more profit than panic for investors and why many Americans don’t “feel” we’re in an economic downturn. Our expert guests even give their best predictions on what could happen this year and into the next. So if you want to take home some SERIOUS profits like our guests did in the last crash, listen up! In This Episode We Cover A 2022 economic recap and why Americans didn’t react as they did during the last recession Testing today’s recession sentiment using the “underwear” theory Whether or not we’re in a recession and why real estate is always “first in, first out” The 2023 economy, housing market predictions, and why recession indicators don’t always work How to invest in 2023 and what our expert guests are doing to build wealth while markets are down Passive investing and why Dave’s private money lending bet could pay off as mortgage rates rise And So Much More!

The 2023 economy doesn’t fit what the forecasters were predicting. Inflation was up, but now it’s coming back down, interest rates keep rising, but homebuyer demand is coming back? As if there wasn’t enough contradictory data, employment is holding steady while we should be in a recession. What’s really happening behind the scenes, and how can you use economic headwinds to build wealth faster while everyone else braces for an impact that may never come? We’re back with Fundrise CEO Ben Miller to discuss the three economic scenarios EVERY investor should plan for in 2023. Ben has learned something new about the economy (and himself) during every past crash. In the 90s, when real estate took a hit, young Ben was too carefree to be concerned. Then, when 2008 came around, Ben was left with scars from the market crash carnage. Now, after the 2020 flash crash and into a potential 2023 market crash, Ben knows better and is making bets that’ll make him, his company, and his investors very wealthy. Ben thinks it’s a mistake that most investors simply put one scenario forward when investing. He tells tales of some of the greatest investors using basic scenario planning to make a killing during any economy. In this episode, he’ll run through exactly how you can do this and why thinking in bets may be one of the best moves you can ever make. So, even if a housing market crash does come, you’ll be prepared not just to survive but thrive. In This Episode We Cover Why we aren’t in a recession yet and the contradictory crash indicators Scenario planning 101 and the three types of outcomes EVERY investor should plan for Thinking in bets and why a “black swan event” is much closer than most people think What could lead to an economic recession and why it’s getting impossible to predict one The best asset classes to invest in during 2023 and why institutional investors are taking big bets on debt Why base hit real estate deals will make you rich, but home run potential should always be taken advantage of And So Much More!

The housing market crash may be over already. With mortgage rates steadily dropping, buyer demand picking up, and competition creeping back in, this housing correction could have been one of the fastest and least severe downturns we’ve ever witnessed. Top forecasters have hinted at the housing market bottoming out, with some claiming that the “thawing” has already begun—but the data may point to something different. While there are signs of improvement compared to where we stood just a few months ago, some glaringly obvious data points could make this a much closer call than mainstream forecasters think. Dave Meyer, your sandwich-eating, data-delving host, wanted to know precisely what would cause the housing market to hit its floor. He looks at both the demand and supply side of the housing market, touching on the variables that genuinely make a difference. We’re talking about mortgage rates, housing affordability, loan applications, housing supply, active listings, and more. But you don’t need a degree in Data Science to understand what’s happening behind the scenes. Dave will explain exactly what is (and isn’t) impacting the housing market, what changes led to the state we’re in, and four scenarios that could play out in 2023 that might put a nail in this theory’s coffin. Betting on the housing market bottoming out? We’d suggest hearing the full story before you make your next investment. In This Episode We Cover Why top housing market forecasters believe that the housing market has found its bottom Mortgage rate updates and why interest rates are falling while the Fed introduces more rate hikes Housing affordability and why we may be moving away from the record-breaking unaffordability of late 2022 Mortgage applications and why homebuyers have decided to come back in 2023 Housing inventory and why more listings and longer days on market could suggest we aren’t through a correction just yet The four scenarios that could play out in 2023 (and which is the MOST likely) And So Much More!

The housing market has entered into a new era never measured before. As of a recent update from Moody’s Analytics, the rent-to-income ratio across the US has reached an average of 30%. And while this may not seem like a big deal to casual investors, it has wide-reaching implications that could cause the housing market to move in different directions. This is the first time a rent-to-income ratio has hit this high percentage point, which could spell bad news for landlords. Lu Chen and Thomas LaSalvia from Moody’s Commercial Real Estate division are joining us to explain the entire story behind the data. They have been closely monitoring the steadily rising rent prices for decades. With pandemic-fueled migration, Lu and Thomas both believe that we’re living in one of the most troubling times for renters. But how did this come to be? With massive housing development across the nation, what’s causing rents to remain so high? The answer isn’t what you might expect. Lu and Thomas have seen developers shift focus to certain housing types, leaving much of the middle class in a rent squeeze. This “missing middle” could explain why so many families are paying a solid portion of their income to rent every month. But with reasonably priced rentals becoming a hot commodity, what can landlords do to ease the burden and open up more housing for those who need it most? And where will rent head next after it’s broken through this previously unshatterable ceiling? Tune in and find out! In This Episode We Cover Housing affordability and why America just crossed into “rent-burdened” territory The “ecosystem effect” and how pricier developments hurt the middle class Housing demand and why work-from-home hotspots put strain on the system Housing markets where rent is declining and the rent-to-income ratio is weakening Where Americans are moving to and why some millennials are staying away from the suburbs Real estate development and which housing types are getting built Comparing today’s rent crisis to 2008 and why a housing correction doesn’t always equal a rent crash And So Much More!

Coliving has often been thought of as solely student housing. When you mention this strategy to investors, they think of house parties, dirty dishes, constant complaints, and a whole lot of maintenance. But ask Jay Chang from Tripalink, and he’s got a different story to tell. Jay works to develop the best coliving communities in the United States, securing a lower-rent option for his tenants and a high cash flow investment for his investors. He’s seen how coliving projects are built, managed, and maintained, and he may completely change your mind on this concept. For expensive areas like Los Angeles, New York, and Seattle, finding an affordable place to live as a student or entry-level worker is near impossible. Your options? Spend the majority of your salary on a studio apartment, live with your friends who haven’t vacuumed in three years, or move into a coliving apartment. The latter offers upscale amenities, daily or weekly cleaning, private rooms, and a high cash flow solution for landlords in pricey markets. Still have your doubts? Jay touches on the untrue myths associated with coliving, why vacancy is near-zero, property management and maintenance, and why this investing niche could be close to exploding as the economy takes a tumble. This strategy could take your real estate portfolio to the next level if you’re in an expensive market, college town, or densely-populated area. In This Episode We Cover A quick housing market update and why buyers are jumping back in Coliving explained and why young professionals and students need a new option for housing The stigmas associated with coliving and why almost all of them are untrue The luxury amenities that coliving offers and how it keeps vacancy at rock-bottom rates Property management when coliving and how to deal with tenant issues Converting your single-family home into coliving and the cost you can expect House hacking and how to start coliving on a smaller scale Where to invest in coliving and how to get in before this industry takes off And So Much More!

Your real estate investment’s returns could be ruined by a few hidden costs that you don’t know about. For the rookie real estate investor, it seems like every investment has the same type of expenses; mortgage, taxes, insurance, repairs, and property management. And while these surface-level expenses are almost always present in a real estate deal, NUMEROUS extra expenses could sink your ship if you don’t include them in your deal analysis. So, stick around, or you might get burnt on your next real estate deal! To walk us through the different types of deals and the expenses that come with them, we’ve got Henry Washington, James Dainard, and Kathy Fettke on the show. Henry, a buy and hold investor, knows that the “cash flow” new investors are calculating is far from reality. He highlights the exact expenses it takes to run a rental property portfolio and why those counting on self-management could be making a MASSIVE mistake. Next, James talks about the often over-glamorized world of flipping houses and the massive haircut investors take when they don’t account for closing, construction, and tricky lending fees. Finally, for our passive investor, Kathy goes into the world of real estate syndications, defining the numerous fees many “mailbox money” investors overlook. In fact, investors in these passive deals often don’t know when (or how) they’re getting paid. You DO NOT want to make this mistake! Stick around to hear it all, so you don’t make these beginner blunders next time you get a deal done! In This Episode We Cover The “hidden” fix and flip, buy and hold, and real estate syndication costs Lending fees, penalties, and the BIG cost of borrowing money Seller concessions and what to expect in a buyer's market like 2023 Raising rent and why not doing so could be a huge mistake when building a portfolio Self-management vs. third-party property management and why you ALWAYS need to factor in a fee Real estate syndication payments explained and why so many investors get it wrong The “4-4-4” housing market prediction and whether it could really come true And So Much More!

We’re back with another Deal Breakdown, where Henry Washington, James Dainard, and Kathy Fettke break down the deals they’re doing in February of 2023. And while the news may be highlighting a “doom and gloom” type of real estate market, we know from first-hand experience that there is still money to be made in today’s housing market! Kathy is back in her love-hate relationship with new builds as she makes a SERIOUS investment in the beautiful ski town of Park City, Utah. The view alone at this property was enough to sell her on the high price. Next, Henry shares his “base hit” off-market real estate deal with a slew of exit strategies that’ll make him money, no matter what. Lastly, James is going hard on the multifamily housing crash, tackling a multi-million dollar deal that could have an eight-figure sales price once he’s done with it! Want to hear how these top investors are finding, funding, and profiting from their real estate deals in 2023? Stick around! And, if you haven’t been to the grocery store, gas pump, or lumber yard in a while, we play a post-inflation pricing game to see how high-priced everyday commodities have gotten. We won’t give away the answers, but we can definitely say that omitting omelets from your diet could save you some serious cash! In This Episode We Cover Inflation’s effect on everyday commodities and how high prices have gotten Investing in new construction and the massive financial upside to buying the right property Why you should search for “base hit” deals that give you MULTIPLE options to exit profitably Wholetailing vs. wholesaling and when to use each of these off-market strategies Price over profit and why buying a great deal should be your top concern when investing Capitalizing on the multifamily crash and how cap rates are helping buyers scoop up apartments at a steep discount And So Much More!
