The Wealth Elevator Podcast: Real Estate, Taxes, Investing

In this week's Investor Weekly News Update for July 24th, several topics are covered. Crowdfunding Website Bankruptcy: The crowdfunding website, Nightingale Office Real Estate Investments on Cross Street, has filed for bankruptcy due to inadequate due diligence on their part. This has surprised many as crowdfunding websites were thought to act as broker-dealers, but they do carry some risks for investors. Real Estate Market Review: The new home market has been thriving in the first half of 2023, despite high mortgage rates. However, there are concerns about a potential downturn in 2024 due to a decrease in new construction projects. Top States for Relocation: Texas and Florida are the most sought-after locations for people looking to move across state lines, while Florida sees the highest volume of search queries from residents wanting to leave the state. Rising Insurance Costs: Insurance premiums for multifamily and commercial properties have been increasing due to inflation and catastrophic risks. Some locations, particularly on the Gulf Coast, have seen significant rises in insurance costs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
