On The Market

Really helpful!

One of the biggest disappointments in the podcast world is the demise of Bigger Pockets content. It has devolved from hearing actual industry professionals sharing strategies, tactics and lessons; to a reactionary daily diatribe about what today’s political news means for interest rates (with a 5 minute side bar about bond investing and how it actually controls mortgage rates…)and thus the real estate market. I have no doubt Dave Meyer is a good guy, and even an effective investor in his personal style. However his lack of hands on expertise and active participation in real estate means his lessons for listeners ended after 3 podcasts. His breakdown of macro economics is certainly important - but important to study one a quarter or when something actually noteworthy pops up. It is extremely difficult to even distinguish one episode from the next at this point because it is a pointless rehashing of the same talking points. Where are the actual operators like Henry Washington and James Dainerd? At least the Rookie podcast still actually addresses real operators. Obviously losing Brandon Turner and David Greene is unfortunate, but there are so many better sources of information than Dave Meyer. Bring him in as a guest once a month and call it good, he can give us his political take “regardless of how we view Trump’s policies”. I have talked with others and know my opinion is widely held, do better Bigger Pockets.

Love this podcast, very informative! Really appreciate the breakdowns you provide of recent economic recents and how you explain them so that it is easily understandable.

You miss characterized the formula that they used to get the tariff number. If you go back and do a little bit more would see they use the trade to determine the reciprocal tariff. It's all over the news that the formula makes no sense to. A trade deficit has nothing to do with someone putting a tariff on you or not.
