California City Makes It Illegal To Do Criminal Background Checks!

Landlords in Oakland, CA can no longer do criminal background checks. Here is why that is a stupid idea. Yeah, sorry, spoiler alert - a city government did something stupid - shocker. This one is a big deal tho. It reveals not only the Oakland city councils hypocrisy but also their general stupidity on how to actually solve a problem. We are going to talk about this one today and bring up some very unpleasant facts. For one thing, Oakland is basically asking landlords to flip a coin - you have a 50/50 chance that the person you rent to will commit a crime with this law. The really amazing part is that you are forced to be ignorant of that fact. Of course, my first opinion is that no government should be able to tell a land owner what they can or cannot do when it comes to renting their property. In this case tho, they are not even solving the problem they claim to be solving AND they are putting all the risk, cost and liability on the shoulders of landlords.

Real Estate in 2020 - Sales Up, Inventory Down! New Homes Coming!

The numbers indicate that the home selling season in 2020 is likely to be nuts! The news is not so great for buyers but strong for sellers of single family homes in 2020. With inventory dropping while demand increases, we are looking at a lead in to 2020 where unless we see an uncharacteristic increase in the number of home owners that list their home for sale, the competition for the homes available for sale is going to be fierce! One piece of good news is that new home construction has shown a big jump over the last couple of months. While permits are down month to month in the most recent showing, we are still ahead of last year. So at least we will be seeing home builders bringing more single family homes on-line than we have seen at any time in the last 13 years! It still is not likely to be enough, but it might just keep things from going completely nuts! Here is a link to a great graph that will let you explore the home building trends over the years. To give you a feeling for what the numbers of done over the last 25 years, here is that graph. Take a look at that jump for the most recent months. That is a dramatic increase that gets us to just about where we were in 2007! For all that and more, check out todays podcast!

Welcome to 2020 as we discuss where single family residential real estate prices might just go! Today we will chat about what the folks over at Calculated Risk expect to happen in 2020! Expectations for prices on single family residential homes across the country is that we will see nothing shocking. No great gains in the increase in prices but no general loss in value. We will also take a look back at some interesting information on what has happened with rental prices over the last few years. For any aspiring landlord, investor or real estate entrepreneur, we will be reviewing some interesting data in where the biggest growth in rents has been happening in terms of property type. We will also take a few minutes to discuss why we are seeing these trends in the rental real estate market.

Some familiar markets continue to be a big draw and if you are a long time listener, I suspect the markets suggested as the best in growth will not surprise you.

Complicated houses make bad investments

Homes with "special needs" that cannot be made simple can be poor investments. Welcome to another edition of Real Estate Realities with The RebelBroker! It is time to lay some ground truth on you! Over the last few weeks, I have had to deal with some things that would be a nightmare for any homeowner - and even more so for a landlord! We will talk about that and how some homes, for whatever reason, are just not a good choice for long term renting. Of course, if you overcome that shortcoming with a change, that could actually be a way to get the property for a better price - but some things cannot be changed. We will discuss that a bit. We will also reflect a bit on what it takes to take those first steps as an investor.We will be literally talking about square one. Not how much to spend, or where to look for the best investment but how to get your head straight and ready to play the game!

Some Ranting About Stupid Real Estate Agents

Well, maybe not JUST ranting, but I really needed it. It was one of those days where I wanted to get into starting our discussion about how to move forward with a good review of the year and setting goals for the coming year.

I will also include a clarification regarding my last podcast. During that show, we ran through the numbers on a sample property and I used the wrong number for my calculations.

Passive Income - What is it and what kinds are there?

Plus, I share a perfect example of the BEST kind of passive income in real estate! In todays show, we discuss something that has been coming up recently. Not long ago, I got a listing on a home that has just about the best kind of passive income associated with it that I have ever seen. It was so amazing in fact, I considered purchasing the home myself! What was most amazing is the number of folks that reached out to me about this listing that had NO IDEA what passive income was.

Not only will I give you insights into how much was actually made, I will run down the steps I took to identify products that made sense to purchase for sale on Amazon!

Side Hustles - Can Selling On Amazon Get Your Real Estate Goals Going?

There are plenty of folks achieving great results by selling on Amazon. Maybe that is the way to fund your first real estate deal. Welcome to todays show folks. I want to try and address a question that I get all the time from all kinds of buyers. Where can I get the money to get started in real estate? One solution is the "Side Hustle". This is something you do in addition to your regular job that is designed to make you extra money. This can help buyers get that down payment or investors get enough capital to make that first investment. I was chatting with a listener who brought up the idea of selling on Amazon to build up enough money to get a real estate investing strategy going. It sounded like an interest option, so I took a look. After a whole lot of youtube watching, I think I can say that there is enough free information out there to make a good effort at making this work for you. Some of the options actually involve little money to get going. In todays show, I will give a run down of what I have learned so far and offer suggestions on what kind of folks to avoid. Find below some links to amazing content/channels on YouTube that can easily get you started: Jungle Scout - Tool and awesome channel for amazing info. AMXScout - Tool and channel with some good info of its own. Hands down the BEST video I have seen so far on selling via Private Label: https://youtu.be/igDk6yHwIuk Viral Launch - Pretty comprehensive tool and also a great source of info. Flipping Profits - YouTube channel with lots of hands on info for folks who want to do Retail Arbitrage. FBA Couple - They have trainings to sell, but you will still get great nuggets from their videos for free. Bill Stenzel - High school teacher with an FBA attitude and ... well... hair. He does have a training to sell but lets loose with plenty of useful and actionable info in just about every video. He actually teaches these things to high school students who then end up making decent side hustle cash on Amazon! Do you have a side hustle that is working for you? Tell me about it!

Vacation Rentals - The Nitty Gritty

Lets take a real world look at what it takes to landlord a Vacation Rental! We talked about some of the big picture differences between a long term rental and a vacation rental in yesterdays show. Today, lets get into the weeds a little and talk about the real day to day of being the landlord of a vacation rental. There is no "hands off" way to do this right, but the payoffs can be huge - and completely worth it! So spin up the show and lets dive right in!

Discount Real Estate Brokerages

Discount brokerages have been around forever. The internet has created a new flavor, and its not good for most buyers and sellers. Over the years that I have been doing this show, I have shared with you many things that I feel work against the best interests of buyers and sellers. Normally, when we have discussed these kinds of things, we were talking about isolated cases where maybe one of these bad things was in play. What we have today, is a monster created by the internet. This monster promises to save you money while forcing you to subscribe to a process that has a good chance of costing you more than they are claiming to save you. That monster arrives in the form of some deep discount brokerages that tick every box on things I have suggested you should NEVER agree to in your relationship with your real estate agent or broker. Of course, there will be circumstances where using one of these discount brokers makes good sense. But those will be rare times. However, there is one condition on that. We will discuss that and all the rest of these issues in todays show!

Ep 524The BIGGEST trick real estate agents use to get you to say "YES"!

What is the biggest trick real estate agents use when working with clients? We will discuss that today! For those of you that have been listening to my show for a while, you know that I take a slightly different approach. In terms of what I consider to be the "Right" way to do things, the current dominant attitude in real estate just does not make the cut. Today, we are going to reveal the greatest weapon that real estate agents will bring out to get you to make an emotional rather than a rational decision. It is a tool that is taught by EVERYONE in real estate. On its own, it is not a bad thing. To one degree or another, we all do it every day. However, when this tool is taken to the degree that you embrace the 'small deception' - which is standard operating procedure in the world of real estate - you are crossing a line that leads to an attitude that too easily can brush the truth aside for more and more critical issues - which is a bad thing. Now you see what I did there? I have teased the point of todays show hard. I am told that this is the way to write show notes! So consider yourself teased! I will not only lay out what this tool is and how it is used against you, but how you should counter it so that you can get what you deserve from your chosen real estate professional. Oh, and for all you real estate agents out there, we will chat about how you can still use this technique, just not be a lying butt head about it.

Ep 523Sub Prime lending is back... as Non Prime loans

That's right, Non Prime loans might be a new name, but it is the same old problem Both private and government backed lenders have been at it for a while. We have explored all the various ways bad lending has been creeping back into the financial world. Sadly, it has been this way for several years now. But now, we have reached a more critical mass where the practice appears to be getting a more common usage. This is not good. We are simply priming the lending pump for another downturn and the market is ripe for it. Sub prime loans or non prime loans end with the same thing, a economic meltdown that is likely to dwarf what we saw in 2007.

The places with the biggest increases in foreclosures will blow your mind! Are we seeing a resurgence of foreclosures? The data shows that in about 44% of metro areas, we are. We have talked a lot about pivot points in markets and where to find them. Well, I would absolutely call an increase in foreclosures a pivot point! In fact, right here on this show we speculated years ago that the bad lending practices we began to embrace about 6 years ago would come back to bite us in exactly this way. It sounds like we might have just been pretty close to right. While it is interesting that we are seeing this increase, it is some of the specific areas we are seeing it that is most revealing. I am willing to be that some of the areas that are at the top of this list will blow you away! So tune in for our discussion of the recent increase in foreclosures.

Ep 517More Housing Inventory Info!

Some new housing inventory numbers in from Sacramento! We have seen a big turn around in the housing inventory numbers in Sacramento. No big change in the days on market numbers or anything that would show us that the market has truly turned, but it is an interesting change for that market. I also want to take a quick glance at the international market in the UK since in the last downturn, we did see some parallel events - and what is happening there might just be a reason for us to worry.

Ep 514Yield Curves And The Real Estate Market

What could warn us about the next real estate downturn? The Yield Curve. You know what has preceded all the economic downturns in the United States since 1955? An inversion of the yield curve. You read that right - in every case where this happened, an economic downturn followed - and real estate is always effected. In only one case did that economic downturn not get officially designated as a 'recession' - but it was a downturn none the less. The more scary part is that it looks like it is about to happen!

Ep 513California really hates you

Californians are hating California right back You heard me right, California really hates you. They really, REALLY hate you if you happen to be a Californian. It seems as if every few weeks we get word of yet another policy decision that looks to screw over residents of California. Not because we deserve it or did something terrible, but because the idiots in Sacramento failed in their most basic responsibilities and want to force us to pay for it. Today we are going to talk about policies that are making it harder to live in California and about how Californians - like anyone in an abusive relationship - is looking for an exit. The big question is, might this dynamic result in the scuttling of what many investors see as one of the most rock solid real estate regions in the country? Lets talk about that!

Ep 512The problem with real estate is inventory, not rates

The media keeps telling us that the problem in real estate is rates. They are wrong. This may not always be true, but right now, the only problem we have in real estate is inventory - plain and simple. So today, we are going to look at hard data. This data shows that whatever rates are right now, they are not stopping anyone from jumping in to pay ridiculous prices for real estate.

Ep 507Delaying foreclosure process, smart or not so much?

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. wants to pass a bill that will end up delaying the foreclosure process Truth be told, I am not a huge fan of Rep Waters. In fact, if you look back on her political history, a whole lot of what got us in trouble last time can be laid at her feet. Now she wants to make it harder to work through foreclosures that relate to FHA. Of course, you can bet she will try to have that apply to Fanny and Freddie as well - which accounts for the vast majority of loans out there. This could be a really bad thing and we will chat about its likely effects.
