| 9/8/25 | The Jobs Report Just Changed The Direction Of The Market... Episode 224 | The Jobs Report Just Changed The Direction Of The Market... ...and interest rates are dropping faster than at any time this year A ton of news dropped on Friday 9/5/25 regarding the new job report numbers estimates as high as 70,000 new jobs were anticipated the actual number came in at 22,000 jobs created and the market went a little crazy almost immediately if you are considering a home purchase using a mortgage this is really big news as interest rates have dropped noticeably since job creation is down sharply this may be the catalyst for the Fed to finally drop rates for the 1st time in almost a year but they won't be doing it to save the housing market they will do it because new jobs that pay well are a pressure point and with a lack of them available, unemployment figures may climb inflation might also increase despite the Fed's year long fight against it the real news is that no matter how you slice it it's going to lower the monthly payment for most buyers that are buying now watch for the Fed to drop interest rates at their September 16-17 meeting most economists are predicting a .25% drop but my research is showing that the markets have already adjusted rates downward and since the rate drop is already "priced in" I believe that we will actually see a .5% rate drop by the Fed otherwise there will be little or no effect in the days after the meeting listen in to get the details on my data research | — | ||||||
| 9/5/25 | This Real Estate Market Isn't Unique... Episode 223 | This Real Estate Market Isn't Unique... ...In fact it reminds Me of the post recession markets 2010-2012 Buyers are once again taking their time buying a home similar to back during those troubled times Which absolutely makes sense as the current market is seeking direction It's the biggest purchase most people will ever make And prices are much higher than the last time current owners bought a home its not easy for most to overcome the indecision and inactivity The Great Recession ran from December 2007 to June 2009 We clearly are not currently in a crisis level market like that one But rather we are in a market very similar to the 2010-2012 when it took a long time for properties to sell it took a few years of stagnant activity for the market to recover Which is the common bond between these 2 markets BUT here is where the markets are different and the reason that I don't see this market heading into another massive downturn back then - close to 70% of the homes were short sales or foreclosures traditional sellers that had solid equity in their homes and no financial issues were forced to sell at distress sale prices or they wouldn't be able to sell today a very small percentage of the homes are foreclosures and the majority of homeowners have significant equity as values have risen sharply over the last 5 years so there simply aren't a lot of homes that would be distress sales today 15 years ago, interest rates were lowered to 3%-5% in an attempt to get the economy going now interest rates at 6%-7% are much higher in an effort to control inflation that is a key differentiator with the anticipated interest rate drop at the September Fed Meeting we may very well be seeing the 1st signs of a market revival where an uncertain market slowly begins to take a new direction and with that, a lot of hesitant sellers will begin to consider putting their homes on the market which will get the wheels turning in a positive direction today's podcast lays out the scenarios that are in play | — | ||||||
| 9/2/25 | Here's Why Some Feel It's Better To Just Rent For 1 More Year... Episode 222 | Here's Why Some Feel It's Better To Just Rent For 1 More Year... ...and are giving up on buying a home right now Time and Money it always comes down to those 2 things price and value always need to make sense on a BIG purchase and timing is a huge part of any decision for those that are renting right now and have an affordable place to live that works for them they could absolutely be tempted to avoid the time and cost of moving rent + security deposit + moving truck can add up quickly and it can cause a lot of people to feel stuck where they are the question then becomes when will the circumstances ever be 100% perfect to make the big leap? the answer is that its unlikely that things will ever be pefect there is a 1 time pain to own a home and it involves some change, in order to break a cycle of renting despite all of the challenges, there are still some that are focused on buying let's take a deeper look at the true cost of things 1st month rent can be similar to 1st mortgage payment security deposit from your current rental is refunded at move out you may have friends with trucks to avoid the cost of a moving truck you typically don't have a mortgage payment due the 1st month there are a number of scenarions where the cost owning a home is about the same as it costs to rent a home there are still people that believe that you need a 20% down payment to purchase a home with a mortgage when in fact that are a variety of options avaialable with 0%-5% down payments and in many cases, a monthly mortgage payment is similar to renting today's podcast get's down and dirty with the numbers and breaks down the financial impacts of renting vs buying | — | ||||||
| 8/29/25 | Back To School Moves AFTER classes Start... Episode 221 | Back To School Moves AFTER classes Start... ...is happening more this year than in the past moving during the break between school years has tradtionally been the preferred path for most families The Summer of 2025 Buying season was really drawn out and in a lot of markets, it never really happened it wasn't out of laziness or lack of desire to move but rather due to economic uncertainty whats interesting to me is that the number of home sales that took place in August that will close in September is larger than usual in the markets that I work in Florida where the school year has already started why now? Fed interest rates have remained unchanged all year home prices have increased - not decreased its inconvenient to move once schools starts my suspicion is that many have tired of waiting out the market and have made a decision to move now as the pain of living where they are at currently is greater than the discomfort of making a move in less than ideal circumstances this is true for both buyers and sellers at this time yet each side is taking a 2nd look at things and are finding deals that can make sense to both sides and with that there is more certainty on what to do next which is what causes markets to move listen in for all the details on where the market is heading | — | ||||||
| 8/25/25 | Mortgage Rates Hit A 10 Month Low... Episode 220 | Mortgage Rates Hit A 10 Month Low... ... even though the Fed hasn't dropped interest rates in 2025 So what is causing this to happen? I have some ideas pent up demand banks pricing in future rate cuts a slowdown in mortgage applications alien intervention The reality may just be 3 of the 4 things above are working at the same time Meanwhile, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell spoke at the Jackson Hole Meeting and intimated that a rate cut may be on the horizon leaving many people to believe that rates will be lowered at the September 16-17 Fed Meeting and if there is a .25% rate drop at that time rates many not drop afterwards as it appears that the market is already pricing that in to rates so it may need to be a .5% rate drop to see further decreases for consumers change is on the horizon It is abundantly clear that there will be a new Fed Chair in early 2026 and its looking like there will 1-2 rate drops between now and the end of the year a lot of home buyers got tired of waiting around for a small change in rates and have moved forward on home purchases at the prevailing rates many plan to refinance down the road while others feel that they may only be in the home for a few years and would rather own than rent today's podcast talks about the dynamics in place for those watching interest rates | — | ||||||
| 8/22/25 | It might make sense to pay PMI when you buy a home... Episode 219 | It might make sense to pay PMI when you buy a home... ...despite what you may have been told Private Mortgage Insurance is used when a home buyer is financing a home with less than a 20% down payment It is not homeowners insurance to help the owner if there is damage It is a safety net for the lender of the home loan in case the buyer doesn't pay the mortgage and goes into deafult mitigating the risk of lending money with a low down payment it allows more people the opportunity to become home owners lets face it, it takes a long time for most people to save for a down payment lets examine a home purchase of $300,000 a 20% down payment would be $60,000 and "guesstimate" closing costs, insurance, and lending fees of $10,000 that is a total of $70,000 that the home buyer would bring to the closing table what if the buyer wanted to use a lower down payment of 5% a 20% down payment would be $15,000 and "guesstimate" closing costs, insurance, and lending fees of $10,000 that is a total of $25,000 that the home buyer would bring to the closing table a whopping $45,000 difference in the cash needed to close in order to do that, mortgage insurance would be put in place and it would add a cost of about $200 per month to the monthly payment thats about $2400 per year more paid out for the home and for many people, it's an acceptable tradeoff in many cases the home buyer can get rid of the PMI somewhere down the road they can pay down the loan so there is 20% equity they can do some renovations to add equity they can refinance the loan in the future they can sell the home and buy a different on with 20% down Click Here To Run Some Numbers on a Mortgage Calculator tune in to today's show to learn more about PMI strategies | — | ||||||
| 8/18/25 | If I Was Going To Use An FHA Loan To Buy A Home... Episode 218 | If I Was Going To Use An FHA Loan To Buy A Home... ...I would be looking at the 3.5% down option FHA Loans have been around since 1934 They are sometimes called a 1st Time Buyer Loan The fact is that they are available to anyone But with the low down payment it is particularly attractive to 1st timers Sellers are allowed to help the buyers with closing cost assistance which lowers the barrier to make a home purchase most common is a 3% credit that can be used for: closing costs prepaid items such as insurance interest rate buy down lets examine a scenario where the purchase price is $300,000 the down payment would be $10,500 ($300,000 x 3.5%) and if the seller is crediting the buyer 3% of the purchase price at closing $300,000 x 3% = $9,000 credit so the actual $$$ to the seller is $291,000 before they pay commissions/closing costs the buyers lender will do an appraisal and it will need to come in at $300,000 or higher if the appraisal came in lower, such as $295,000 the bank would only be able to lend based on that amount this situation could be resolved in a number of ways: the buyer could pay the $5,000 down payment gap in cash at closing the buyer could ask the seller to lower the price by $5,000 the seller could reduce the price $5,000 and reduce the credit $5,000 they could each contribute toward the $5,000 Listen in to today's show for all the details | — | ||||||
| 8/15/25 | If I Was Going To Use A VA Loan To Buy A Home... Episode 217 | If I Was Going To Use A VA Loan To Buy A Home... ...I would be looking at the no $$$ down option VA Loans are available to Veterans that have their D214 Eligibility Certificate A program like this is a great way to get thank our Veterans Another great feature of this loan is that it is allowable for the seller of the home to help pay for the closing costs up to 4% of the purchase price can be credited back to the buyer at closing which can be used for closing costs, and prepaid items such as insurance the $$$ could also be used for an interest rate buydown which would lower the monthly payments and save on the cost of interest paid on the loan to give an example of how this works lets examine a scenario where the purchase price is $300,000 and the seller is crediting the buyer 4% of the purchase price at closing $300,000 x 4% = $12,000 credit so the actual $$$ to the seller is $288,000 before they pay commissions/closing costs the buyers lender will do an appraisal and it will need to come in at $300,000 or higher if the appraisal came in lower, such as $295,000 the bank would only be able to lend based on that amount this situation could be resolved in a number of ways: the buyer could pay the $5,000 down payment gap in cash at closing the buyer could ask the seller to lower the price by $5,000 the seller could reduce the price $5,000 and reduce the credit $5,000 they could each contribute toward the $5,000 Listen in to today's show for all the details | — | ||||||
| 8/12/25 | If I Was Going To Use A 401k To Buy A Home... Episode 216 | If I Was Going To Use A 401k To Buy A Home... ...I would start by learning how much tax would be owed when I take the $$$ out and I would definitely contact your 401k plan admin team for more info I always find it interesting when home buyers tell me that they are going to use their 401k to buy a home It's not that I think that its a bad idea as it can make a lot of sense in the right situation but rather that they have no clue that they will have taxes dues when they take the $$$ out quite often, its a clear case of amnesia when they put $$$ into their 401k it went in before taxes were paid on those earnings check your paystubs if your don't believe me the taxes due are deferred until the $$$ is taken out and when a large sum of $$$ is taken out a shocking amount of $$$ can be due at tax time lets suppose that your are in the 15% tax bracket and you want to take out $100,000 to buy a home $15,000 in tax is due and if the home that you want is $300,000 then $45,000 is due if you take out the full amount if you are a high wage earner in a tax bracket above 30% then you are looking at a tax bill of about 100k that would cause most people some discomfort most 401k plans have a way to take a loan out against your 401k and that can be used for the down payment on a home and a mortgage could be used for the remainder of the $$$ needed that is a strategy that works for many people today's podcast unlocks more tips on what goes into tapping into your 401k | — | ||||||
| 8/8/25 | If I Was Flipping A Home Today... Episode 215 | If I Was Flipping A Home Today... ...my main focus would be the location of the home and it would be a desirable area for someone to live in so that I would have a large target audience when it was time to put the renovated home on the market this doesn't mean that the home needs to be in a $$$ million $$$ neighborhood an ideal location may very well be where homes are selling below the media sales price it would be attractive to a wide audience of owner occupied home buyers and would also be interesting to investors that want turn key rentals starting with the end in mind makes complete sense I would want to consider the marketing strategy to sell the home as I select the right home to flip among the many options on the market as well as when making the home improvement decisions and the materials to be used money is made and lost when it takes too long to sell the property the clock starts ticking the day that you purchase the home costs for labor and materials are obvious expenses in addition to that are taxes, insurance, permits, taxes and at the eventual closing you will be commissions and fees all of which eat into your return on investment tune in for all the details as I break down the path to profits when flipping a home | — | ||||||
| 8/4/25 | US Home Prices Are Up... Episode 214 | US Home Prices Are Up... ...and so is consumer confidence despite the Fed Stubbornly refusing to lower interest rates The U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency's (FHFA) recent report shows that while home prices were down .2% in the month of May but they are up 2.8% between May 2024 and May 2025 Separately, The Conference Board reported that its consumer confidence index rose 2 points from 95.2 in June to 97.2 in July all the while the Fed once again refused to lower interest rates at their July meeting interestingly, there were several rate decreases before the Presidential election and zero reductions since that time read into that what you want what all of this means to me is that the bottom hasn't, and won't be, falling out on home prices home values are on track to be up the 3% in 2025 that I predicted here before the start of the year and it we ever see an interest rate reduction it will likely push home values a little higher as home buyers monthly payments become a little lower listen in to today's show for my analysis of what is happening now in these areas | — | ||||||
| 8/1/25 | Time Will Defeat $$$ In August... Episode 213 | Time Will Defeat $$$ In August... ...as many with their move on hold are done waiting for interest rates to change we are seeing very clear signs that there will be marriages of convenience as we enter into the latter half of summer the reality of summer vacations ending soon and the start of a new school year on the horizon creates a growing number of delayed home sales gaining momentum and for that segment of the market the cost of the time spent waiting out the market is far greater than the hope of saving some $$$ with lower interest rates and as this swing occurs we are finding that there is a developing sweet spot where sellers are getting enough $$$ for a sale to make sense while buyers are getting a price low enough to seal a deal this is not a market where everyone will get 100% of what they want financially but buyers and sellers get to move on to where they would rather be living than continuing to live in a place that no longer meets their needs whether the move is to upsize, downsize, relocate, or change an investment strategy the movement is about to move forward | — | ||||||
| 7/24/25 | Condotels Are A Vacation Home And A $$$ Maker... Episode 212 | Condotels Are A Vacation Home And A $$$ Maker... ...can be a great 1st time investment property as long as you understand how they work at a super high level they are absolutely different than your typical condo and can cost a lot less than a traditional condo keep in mind that they are almost always cash sales as most bank will not approve a mortgage in a heavy rental building condotels can look and feel a lot like a hotel many of them have a front desk for check in/check out 1 main difference is that each unit is individually owned so renters deal directly with the owners or their property managers for bookings and assistance owners typically spend some time using their condotels during the year and then rent it out when they aren't staying there which for many investors is the perfect situation where the rental income covers most/all of the annual expenses which ends up feeling like they have a free vacation spot as with any short term rental property it's expected to be furnished and fully stocked for guests a handyman and a cleaning person are typically hired to oversee things today's show takes you through the process of purchasing a condotel and leveraging your investment to its maximum income potential | — | ||||||
| 7/24/25 | Behind The Scenes At The Fed... Episode 211 | Behind The Scenes At The Fed... ...There is some talk that Fed Chair Jerome Powell may not make it to the end of his term There are 12 members of the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) that are trying to set the proper economic policy to keep inflation in check there are critics that feel they have held rates stable for far too long other economies around the world have lowered rates and gained a perceived advantage in trade markets I don't think that the President will fire Powell as some have suggested with that said, I wouldn't be shocked if he nominates the next Fed Chair soon it has been surmised that 7 of the 12 Fed Members are not likely to vote for a rate drop at the July 30th meeting if that holds true then it only leaves 3 more meetings left in 2025 to get to the 2 predicted rate drops before the end of the year my suspicion is that the market has already priced in a rate drop so if the Fed chooses to keep the rates the same next week there is a possiblity that rates edge up a little higher in the days after trying to determine which way things will go can be tricky as the internet is full of contradicting information many people have been waiting for something to happen in the market in order to make a move to buy or sell oddly enough when the thing you were waiting for to happen doesn't happen it causes many people to make the move anyways despite the fact that nothing changed today's podcast discusses where we believe things are actually heading | — | ||||||
| 7/18/25 | If I Were Selling A Home Today... Episode 210 | If I Were Selling A Home Today... ...I wouldn't be making any rash decisions with market conditions such that they are buyers are taking longer to make big purchase decisions some are literally frozen in place as they try to comprehend all of the conflicting data they are reading the economy and inflation are certainly adding to the confusion its quite common for people to do nothing in these situations with that said a growing number of people will move forward and buy anyways as their concerns are outweighed by the need to move now short term trends, such as monthly reports are typically too short of a time period to determine meaningful changes we are seeing some up/down reports each month which simply means that the market is trying to find its direction today's podcast gives you my insight into where the market is heading and why | — | ||||||
