On The Market

Buying a home might not be the best idea in 2023. You’ll have to go through a few challenges to get one under contract. First, find a homeowner who wants to sell their home; you’ll need to convince them that ditching their low rate is worth the price. Then, secure funding; but with even the best home buyer loan, you’ll probably be stuck with a seven percent rate. Wouldn’t it be easier just to rent and invest the rest of your money? According to Daryl Fairweather, Ph.D., Chief Economist at Redfin, that’s precisely what you should do.New data has shown that with home affordability at historic lows, now isn’t the best time to buy a primary residence. But where would you find the inventory even if you wanted to buy? “Locked-in” homeowners are refusing to part ways with their properties, and nobody can blame them. But, there are still a few metro areas worth buying in, and if you live in, or are moving to, one of these areas, you could be in luck.But Daryl doesn’t just explain the buying vs. renting debate. She also talks about buyer demand and its recent drop-off, mortgage rate predictions and what we can expect rates to get down to, risky real estate markets facing natural disasters, and news for real estate agents that could change how commissions are paid and collected.In This Episode We CoverRenting vs. buying and which is a better bet in 2023Affordability, buyer demand, and why renting may be the only option for manyMortgage rate predictions and how low rates could go in the near futureInsurance headaches from California and Florida and why insurers AREN’T signing new policiesMigration patterns and where Americans are moving as home prices remain highNew real estate agent commission news that could change who pays an agent for buying or selling a propertyAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an AgentFind a LenderBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets AgentBiggerPockets BootcampsJoin BiggerPockets for FREEOn The MarketJoin the Future of Real Estate Investing with FundriseConnect with Other Investors in the “On The Market” ForumsSubscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramGet Access to Unlimited BiggerPockets Audiobooks and Ad-Free Podcast EpisodesRenting vs. Buying a House: Which Makes More SenseConnect with DarylDaryl InstagramDaryl LinkedInDaryl TwitterRedfin NewsClick here to listen to the full episode: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-125Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

Thought we were done with mortgage rate hikes? Not so fast. The Fed always has time to get mad about something else and push interest rates even higher. This time, a surprise job report makes the Fed furious and could lead to a much more difficult housing market for investors and homebuyers. But this news isn’t all we’ve got on this episode.

The Federal Reserve could be steering us straight into the next great recession. After decades of monetary and fiscal debacles from quantitative easing to safeguarding big banks that hurt everyday Americans, it seems almost everyone wants the Fed to be taken apart and rebuilt or shipped away, never to have economic sway again. Grave mistakes have been made over the past two decades, many of which will have unfathomable consequences for today’s economy. So, can the Fed do ANYTHING to save us?Enough with the speculating. We brought former Advisor to The Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Danielle DiMartino Booth, to tell us what happens behind closed doors. Danielle was there at the beginning of quantitative easing, fighting back against a program she knew would lead to a weak economy. Now, as Danielle puts it, “everything has come home to roost,” as quick decisions made in the last financial crisis put us in a massive economic bind. This is NOT good news for real estate investors; those buying today could be in serious trouble in years to come.Throughout today’s episode, Danielle gives us her take on how the Fed could fix itself, current actions Jerome Powell, Chair of the Fed, has put into place to correct the course we’re on, and whether or not a “soft landing” is possible as the American economy heads into a recession. Finally, Danielle gives her advice on what real estate investors should do and why those exiting the market might be smarter than the rest of us.In This Episode We CoverMassive mistakes the Fed made during the Global Financial Crisis that we’re paying for todayQuantitative easing explained and why “money printing” is so dangerous to the economy The “dual mandate” that’s making the Fed’s job almost impossible to achieve Recession predictions and whether we’ll face a soft landing or hard crash Why smart real estate investors are hoarding cash and refusing to buy False job data and why the unemployment rate is about to get even worse And So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an AgentFind a LenderBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets AgentBiggerPockets BootcampsJoin BiggerPockets for FREEOn The MarketJoin the Future of Real Estate Investing with FundriseConnect with Other Investors in the “On The Market” ForumsSubscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramKathy's BiggerPockets ProfileKathy's InstagramBook Mentioned in the Show:Fed Up by Danielle DiMartino BoothConnect with Danielle:Danielle's SubstackDanielle's TwitterCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-121Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

We’re here with a HUGE student loan forgiveness update. Since President Biden was elected, those with student loans have been hoping and praying to have a sizable chunk of their debt wiped away. Tens of millions of borrowers would have been impacted, helping free up cash for those that need it most. But, on the other hand, taxpayers were staring at a $400B bill to forgive just a fraction of the student loan debt in America. The economic implications of student debt relief passing would have been huge, but a more significant economic impact could continue for borrowers.We’ve brought back Sarah Ewall-Wice, Political and Economics Reporter at CBS News, to give us a full student loan forgiveness update, break down what exactly happened in the Supreme Court, and what we must prepare for now that student debt relief is off the table. But, if you were banking on your loans being forgiven, fret not; a new plan may already be underway to give those with student debt another chance at redemption.Sarah walks through the legal battle the Biden Administration brought forth to get debt relief passed, what will happen to graduates now that the bill has come due, and whether or not defaults could increase across the board as a result. Dave and Sarah will also debate why a solution to rising college costs hasn’t been conceived and what you should do NOW if you have student loan debt.In This Episode We CoverA federal student loan forgiveness update and what will happen nextWhy the Supreme Court decided to axe the debt relief plan (it’s not what you think)Resuming student debt payments and what graduates need to do NOWWhether or not defaults across credit cards and mortgage payments could increase as a resultThe true cost of college and why unaffordable education MUST be tackledAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an AgentFind a LenderBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets AgentBiggerPockets BootcampsJoin BiggerPockets for FREEOn The MarketJoin the Future of Real Estate Investing with FundriseConnect with Other Investors in the “On The Market” ForumsSubscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramHear Our Past Interview with Sarah on US DebtConnect with Sarah:CBS NewsSarah's InstagramSarah's TwitterCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-120Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

Artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT might not be great at writing podcast intros, but when it comes to building a rental property or real estate portfolio, these platforms produce far more help than harm.

The next foreclosure wave is already brewing. Over the past few years, monetary moves and rash home buying decisions were made that could cause even more foreclosures to hit the market.

Asset allocation is arguably the most crucial step in building wealth. While most people think just buying rentals is enough, having the money set aside to protect those rentals, and subsidize your business during rough markets, can make or break your real estate portfolio.

Dave, James, and Kathy will be breaking down their exact investment portfolios, walking through what they own, what they don’t, and how they structured their wealth to stay safe without stagnating.They’ll also share their advice on what to invest in TODAY, how to diversify your portfolio so you don’t get liquidated in the next crash, what they’d buy with $100,000, and “risk-free” investments like bonds still boasting favorable returns.
