    The Impact of Industrial Growth on the Rental Market

    The Impact of Industrial Growth on the Rental Market

    The real estate business is not entirely about the housing market. In this episode, we talk about industrial real estate, oil and gas, bringing US companies back home, or what’s known as “reshoring,” and of course, the housing market. But the conversation goes beyond that with talk of economic trends, investment strategies, and our recent RealWealth property tour in San Antonio where investors can get a 4.25% interest rate from the builder.
    In this episode, you’ll hear from investor and commercial lender Ben Fraser. He has more than a decade of experience in the mortgage business and is the Chief Investment Officer at Aspen Funds, which was co-founded by his father. Before that, Ben served as a commercial lender at First Business Bank and a commercial credit underwriter for Crossfirst Bank. He’s also a seasoned podcaster, and co-hosts the show “Invest Like a Billionaire” with his Dad and his Dad’s Aspen co-founder.

    How Does RealWealth Find Such Exceptional Property Teams for Investors?

    How Does RealWealth Find Such Exceptional Property Teams for Investors?

    It’s not easy to find a good investment property in today’s market. Prices and mortgage rates are high, and it can be really difficult to make the numbers work. As a lifelong Californian, Kathy has learned this lesson. It’s just too expensive in California to invest here. So 20 years ago, she started looking in other states and had to evaluate realtors, property managers, renovation teams, and others. With the experience she gained, she launched RealWealth with her husband, Rich, to help other investors find rental properties, and they now have great systems in place to find the best property teams in strong but affordable growth markets.
    As a more recent addition to the RealWealth crew is a husband-and-wife team who are experienced investors themselves, and are now traveling the country in an RV to vet property teams for our RealWealth investors. Rebekah and Grant have bought, sold and 1031 exchanged all kinds of real estate including single family rentals, short-term rentals, and fix-and-flips. Rebekah was also a real estate agent with her own brokerage, specializing in helping investors buy and sell their properties. Grant bought his first home in college and rented out rooms to friends. Since then, he’s bought many rental properties using the BRRRR method which stands for buy, rehab, rent, refinance, and repeat. 
    In this episode, you’ll hear about our vetting process, the standards we’ve set for renovations and property management, how builders are giving our investors great deals on properties and loans, and how we maintain that level of quality with our property teams. You’ll even hear about Grant and Rebekah’s unique work/travel situation, and about Chattanooga as one of our newest markets, although it’s still in the vetting process so it’s not yet on our website. If you are a RealWealth member, speak with your RealWealth investment counselor for more information. Until we’ve finished the vetting process, we are recommending Chattanooga for experienced investors only. 
    If you'd like to find out more about the teams that we have vetted at RealWealth, go to realwealthshow.com. It's free to join and talk to an investment counselor.

    How Corporations Identify Hot Growth Markets Nationwide with John Boyd Jr.

    How Corporations Identify Hot Growth Markets Nationwide with John Boyd Jr.

    How do large corporations decide what part of the country they should move to or build new facilities? It’s much more than a random recommendation, a sale price, or a gut feeling. They do in-depth studies and often hire expensive consultants because it’s a huge investment and they don’t want to get it wrong. 
    In this episode, you’ll hear from site selection consultant, John Boyd Jr., who has his finger on development across the nation. John will talk about the site selection process, the exodus from California and where companies are going, challenges in choosing the right location, industries that are driving growth in various parts of the country, and the impact of climate change. He’ll also share some information on a few of the hottest growth markets in the nation today, including an area near San Antonio, Texas.
    John is at The Boyd Company out of Princeton, New Jersey. It’s one of the most trusted and well-known corporate site selection firms in the nation with clients like Boeing, Chevron, Pratt & Whitney, PepsiCo, Visa International, Shell, Honda Motor Company, Hewlett-Packard, and JP Morgan Chase. John is often invited to speak at conferences and is routinely featured in the global news media to talk about corporate site selection, economic development and the real estate industry.
    If you'd like to learn more about some of the exciting projects RealWealth is doing in the San Antonio area, sign up for a free RealWealth membership and login. We are currently acquiring new parcels of land for build-to-rent homes as part of a syndication. We also have a property team in San Antonio that can help you acquire rental homes on your own with a low mortgage thanks to builder incentives.

    Cost Segregation - An Amazing Tax Savings Tool for Real Estate Investors!

    Cost Segregation - An Amazing Tax Savings Tool for Real Estate Investors!

    One of the most compelling reasons for owning investment property is the huge amount of money you can save on taxes. So it’s extremely important to understand the kind of tax benefits and deductions available to you.
     
    In this interview, you will hear about cost segregation studies and how they can help you depreciate different components of your properties more quickly. There’s also a bonus depreciation that can amplify those savings, a short-term rental loophole, and how much it might cost to get one of these studies done.
     
    Our guest is a new partner with RealWealth to help our members with cost segregation studies. He has experience in tech leadership roles, business development for fintech companies, and online lending. He’s also a real estate investor with a BA in International Business from Texas State University.
     
    You can find out more about our guest and cost segregation on our website. Just log in to the investor portal as a free RealWealth member and look under resources. You can also take a deeper dive into cost segregation by attending our "Unlock Massive Tax Breaks with Cost Segregation" webinar on July 11th at noon. Register for our free webinar at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8552416397016755029. If you miss it, check www.realwealthshow.com for a replay.

    CoreLogic Warns Investors About Climate Risks to Real Estate

    CoreLogic Warns Investors About Climate Risks to Real Estate

    If you haven’t considered the impact of climate-related natural disasters on your real estate decisions, you'll get valuable insights from this episode. Call it climate change or climate risk or simply a natural climate cycle that we’re going through  –  whatever side you are on – there are an increasing number of risks related to our environment that are having an impact on real estate.
     
    In this interview, you’ll hear from Dr. Howard Botts who is the chief scientist and executive director of the science and analytics team for real estate data firm CoreLogic. With 30+ years experience in geo-spatial modeling, he's a recognized expert on natural hazard risk solutions.  He speaks frequently on climate change impacts to the real estate ecosystem, and he says there’s great reason to be concerned.
     
    He’ll discuss climate change vs climate risk and the impact on real estate. That includes tangible impacts on real estate, property insurance challenges that we’re seeing across the country, strategies for getting insurance and managing your properties, how the government and communities are responding, and what individuals can do to protect themselves. 


    Real estate investors will find that the rental property markets RealWealth is focused on are not in the high-risk areas mentioned by our guest. You can find out more with a free RealWealth membership at realwealthshow.com.

    Is the Fed Getting Outdated Data from the Jobs Report?

    Is the Fed Getting Outdated Data from the Jobs Report?

    The jobs report for May was a surprise to the upside, with 272,000 new jobs. Wage growth also came in hotter than expected. Good news, right? But maybe it’s not so good for the fight against inflation. It stokes fear among Fed officials that inflation could heat up again if they cut interest rates too soon. With so much weight given to those reports, just how accurate are they? 
    In this episode, José Torres will explain the jobs report and how the data varies depending on the method used to collect the information. As an economist with decades of high-level experience, he’ll share other insights about the economy, inflation, interest rates, mortgage rates, a possible recession, and how all this impacts real estate and the housing market.
    José Torres is senior economist at Interactive Brokers. Previously he worked as an economist for the US government at the FDIC and the BLS. He also taught economics at the City University of New York and earned a master’s degree in financial economics from West Texas A&M University. He’s given frequent presentations to public officials and private executives and is often asked for interviews by major media outlets in both English and Spanish.
    Stay informed about the housing market, investing, and real estate with a free RealWealth membership. I’ll also be hosting a free webinar with economist John Chang on the housing market next month, on July 25th. You can sign up ahead of time here and we’ll send you a reminder! Thanks for listening! -Kathy Fettke

Ask the Tough Questions

Brandon Turner just lost investors tons of money from his PE firm, Opendoor Capital. Instead of worshipping him, why not ask what is he going to do about it? Hand more keys back to the bank? Come on, Kathy! You don't want scam artists desperately seeking investors to bail him out. He should've stuck with BRRRS
