Episode 374: Prepare for the Hard Landing
8% mortgage interest rates and the Fed refusing to step in to assist the mortgage market will lead to major economic blowback - that will bleed outside of the mortgage industry. China is having their own economic issues with a potential real estate crisis in their country - which will be felt throughout the developed world. The employment data we are receiving must be corrupted, as if anyone were to observe from within their own community, they can tell you no one is ‘killing it’ and good career opportunities aren’t abundant.

Episode 372: This Will Be The Last Buyer’s Market
👉 www.TLOPonline.com 👈
The housing market has been on a bull run since 2016. For over 7 years, home sellers have had the advantage. This has lead to homebuyer frustrations and bidding wars. This next 6 months will mark the best time for homebuyers to flip the script and take advantage of sellers who have to sell their properties.
We expect the housing market to be a buyers market for the next 6 months. However, this buyers market will be short lived and once it ends we expect to see another 3+ year bull run of a sellers market. If homebuyers want to negotiate deals they must act now.

Episode 365: How To Create More Housing Inventory
Housing Inventory is at an all-time low. Unfortunately, there’s not much help on the way. If homebuyers, real estate agents and mortgage loan originators want to create more housing inventory, they can. They will do this by either renovating homes in disrepair or contracting local home builders to build the buyer’s home of their dreams.
Both of these executions require special financing. That financing is a construction loan or renovation loan. In this episode, D.O. interviews top-producing branch manager Eric Putt who is a subject mater expert when it comes to construction lending.
