    New Listings “Normalize,” Inflation Ticks Up, and Airbnb Bans Indoor Cameras

    New Listings “Normalize,” Inflation Ticks Up, and Airbnb Bans Indoor Cameras

    The Fed isn’t happy, but what’s new? After inflation numbers were released last week, showing higher-than-expected consumer price growth, our rate cut dreams could be slowly dwindling. Are we still on a timeline to see lower mortgage rates by summer, or is the US economy just too strong to prompt any help for prospective homebuyers? This story, and plenty more, are coming up in this week’s headlines show.
    Ever get that feeling that someone is watching you? Airbnb recently announced a new policy that banned indoor surveillance cameras in hosts’ properties. This is a shock for almost every Airbnb guest and most hosts, too, as it seems we all incorrectly assumed that security cameras were only allowed on the OUTSIDE of a property.
    But this episode isn’t just about short-term rentals. We have some good news for housing inventory, as new listings finally saw a bump, helping add some homes to the already supply-strained market we’re facing. We’ll also talk about new unemployment numbers that are trending in a direction the Fed wants to see but may not be enough to convince them of a rate cut. All that, and more, in this episode.

    In This Episode We Cover:
    A housing supply update and the “surge” of new listings that hit the market
    New jobs numbers and whether rising unemployment is something we should worry about
    Why the Fed may become even more hesitant to cut rates in 2024
    New inflation and CPI (Consumer Price Index) numbers (and what they mean)
    Airbnb’s newest “no indoor camera” policy and what this means for anyone hosting a short-term rental
    The naked man in James’ newest investment property (will he EVER get out?)
    And So Much More!

    Real Deals We’re Doing RIGHT NOW (Flips, Developments, and Duplexes)

    Real Deals We’re Doing RIGHT NOW (Flips, Developments, and Duplexes)

    Welcome to the “redemption year” for real estate investing. We talk a lot on this show about the real estate deals being done all across the country. From interviewing flippers to developers to agents and investors, it always seems like there’s still money to be made, no matter the market. But is that really true? Or is it a bunch of pro-property investing propaganda that “big real estate” is pushing? To prove that there are indeed real deals to be done in 2024, we’re bringing on some of OUR latest investments and walking through the ACTUAL numbers on this show!
    Each of our expert hosts (including Dave!) has a real estate deal to review on today’s episode. First, we’ll touch on James’ new joint venture partnership that’s making him a hefty six-figure profit that could almost be considered passive income. This deal alone could make James over $300,000—a sum that could change anyone’s life! Then, Dave jumps back into the market as he makes his first active real estate investment in YEARS. This home has a lot of potential, so what should he do with the property?
    Next, the “Kat(hy)-Signal” goes up as a growing city in Oregon pleads our own Kathy Fettke to start developing homes so local workers have a place to live. Thankfully, she picks up an astounding deal from a local farmer who doesn’t know much about developing. Finally, we’re back to good ol’ Arkansas as Henry walks through the numbers of a quick house flip that could profit him $80K. But that’s not the only sweet part of this deal. Another big benefit comes from the lot right next door. What will Henry do with it? Stick around to find out!

    In This Episode We Cover:
    Why NOW is the time to buy as competition is low and “walk-in equity” is high
    James’ almost passive real estate investment that could make him $300K
    Develop, add an ADU, or do nothing—what’s the best move for Dave’s new property?
    How Kathy is turning farmland into single-family houses for a small Oregon city
    Henry’s quick house flip that is turning a stellar profit and what he plans to do on the extra lot that came with the deal
    And So Much More!

    NAR Finally Faces Competition: Is the Agent "Monopoly" Over? w/Jason Haber and Mauricio Umansky

    NAR Finally Faces Competition: Is the Agent "Monopoly" Over? w/Jason Haber and Mauricio Umansky

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

    In This Episode We Cover:
    Recent NAR lawsuits that could put the trade association in jeopardy
    Breaking up the broker “monopoly” by finally giving real estate agents a choice
    Agent innovation and why we DON’T need more agents…we need BETTER agents
    Agent commissions, costs, and fees that could be changed with the American Real Estate Association
    Why women MUST play a more prominent role in the future of the real estate industry
    And So Much More!

    China Falters, Israel’s Oil Danger, and Russia’s Assets Used Against Them w/Joe Brusuelas

    China Falters, Israel’s Oil Danger, and Russia’s Assets Used Against Them w/Joe Brusuelas

    China’s economy is on its last legs. Thanks to massive overspending and high unemployment, the Chinese economy is beginning to break down, with real estate prices crashing at a scale similar to 2008 in the US. This is bad news for not only Chinese investors but also global investors with money in China. But could these tumultuous conditions spill over into the global economy?
    We’ve got arguably the world’s best economic forecaster, Joe Brusuelas, back on the show to get his take on the global economy and what could be next for the US. Joe has studied the Chinese economy in-depth and sees a “debt and deleveraging period” forming. This is bad for Chinese investors, but will it affect the US housing market? Next, Joe speaks on the other global crises, from Israel to Ukraine to Iran and beyond. With our global reliance on importing commodities like wheat and oil, how risky are we getting with the massive Middle East and Eastern European conflicts?
    Finally, Joe touches on domestic trends, including one substantial economic insight that could point to a new era of economic productivity in the US. This could be game-changing for you if you own stocks, bonds, real estate, or any other US-based investments. What trend are we talking about? Stick around; we’re getting into it all in this episode!

    In This Episode We Cover:
    China’s “debt trap” and how they massively slowed down economic growth
    The “bad bank” solution that China could (but probably won’t) use to solve their housing crisis
    How the US and India could become the primary economic forces in the global economy
    The “risk matrix” and what could cause an oil crisis due to the Middle East conflict 
    How the US may use Russia’s assets against them in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict 
    A huge economic indicator pointing to a new era of productivity for the US economy
    And So Much More!

    What Happens to Rent Prices When 1,000,000 New Units Come Online in 2024? w/Chris Salviati

    What Happens to Rent Prices When 1,000,000 New Units Come Online in 2024? w/Chris Salviati

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

    In This Episode We Cover:
    What happens to rent prices when 1,000,000 more multifamily units come online
    Markets that have the most oversupply and could see significant rent cuts
    The massive concessions multifamily apartments are giving new renters 
    When real estate investors can expect rent growth to pick back up 
    2024 rent price predictions and whether demand could come back
    How single-family rental prices will be affected by multifamily’s huge oversupply
    And So Much More!

    4 Hot Housing Markets with Huge Home Price Appreciation (50% Jumps!)

    4 Hot Housing Markets with Huge Home Price Appreciation (50% Jumps!)

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

    In This Episode We Cover
    The top four appreciation and equity growth housing markets in America
    How work-from-home changed the housing landscape forever 
    Whether or not to underwrite for appreciation when analyzing your real estate deals
    The signs that your real estate market is about to experience explosive appreciation
    A cash flow vs. appreciation debate and the surprising choice most investors would make
    What you MUST do before you make an appreciation bet on a rental property or housing market
    And So Much More!
