Episode notes

The buyer’s market is back, and opportunities are growing. Inventory is rising, demand is shrinking, and sellers are more motivated to give you a price cut, concession, or repair. This is the time investors have been waiting for, and much of the housing market is already on discount. But which areas are the deepest buyer’s markets, and how are we investing today to capitalize?

BiggerPockets CEO Scott Trench and Michael Zuber from One Rental at a Time join the show to share about deals they recently bought to take advantage of 2025’s housing market conditions. Plus, we give away free data on the markets with the most buyer control. Buyer’s market conditions don’t show up often—and they won’t last long.
