Nearly Half of Buyers Get Concessions as Fed Warns Prices Must Drop
A Fed official says what we’re all thinking: home prices must drop—and sellers seem to have gotten the message. Per a recent Redfin report, 44.7% of home sales included seller concessions such as price cuts, rate buydowns, covering closing costs, or even renovations, repairs, and expensive layout changes. So, if you’re a buyer, how do you get the most from your seller on the next deal?
We’re ba
The American Economy Enters Its “Lost Decade”
America could enter what nobody wants—a “lost decade.”
No huge gains, no massive price drops, just a slow, stagnating market where inflation eats away at the returns we once thought were normal. Stocks are already massively overpriced according to the CAPE Ratio and the Buffett Indicator, real estate is unaffordable and already seeing real price declines, and commercial has fallen off the prove
America Doesn’t Have a Housing “Shortage” (It’s Something Much Worse)
For years, we’ve been told that the United States is short millions of homes, and that building more units is the key to solving the affordable housing crisis. But a 2024 study from Kirk McClure and Alex Schwartz reaches a different conclusion and suggests that the housing shortage narrative may be built on a shakier foundation than we’ve been led to believe.

The Trillion-Dollar Bubble Grows Bigger
AI could lead to an extinction event, but don’t worry, the stock market will be hitting all-time highs on the way there!
We’re entering a new phase of the artificial intelligence race where now CEOs from OpenAI and Anthropic are practically begging for industry-wide regulation. This all seems too… convenient. What’s really behind this new AI regulation push, and how close are we to a society-s
The Path to 8% Mortgage Rates
8% mortgage rates are now on the table, and unfortunately, that’s not even the high end of estimates for where we’re going next. With bond yields hitting 20-year peaks and no end in sight for rising inflation, we may be stuck here for a while. If you’re starting to sweat, don’t worry—we are, too. Thankfully, it’s not all bad news for the housing market, because those who pivot will profit.

The Housing Market Correction Is Spreading
The housing market correction is about to get worse. Before, the Northeast and Midwest markets were insulated from the sizable price drops happening in places like Texas and Florida, but not anymore. The correction is spreading, and the once “safe” markets are creeping closer and closer to price cuts, concessions, and desperate sellers becoming the norm.
The question is: does this snowball into
Rates Were Hiked: Here’s What Investors Should Do Now
The Federal Reserve hiked rates last week, but did it actually help the housing market? Our panel of real estate investing experts isn’t all that bummed by potentially higher rates and less housing market activity—why? Because new opportunities are forming thanks to the Fed’s recent rate hike—opportunities that could make deals even better to buy in 2026 and into 2027.
We’re back discussing the
You’re Not Gonna Like What Happens to Mortgage Rates
The U.S. government may have just lost the war on mortgage rates.
Last week, the U.S. Treasury announced one of its biggest bond buyback programs in years—a whopping $6 billion allocated to (hopefully) lower bond yields, and by proxy, interest rates. Not only did it backfire, but it may have angered the bond investors so much that the market’s recovery is now in jeopardy. Do we still have
This Is Better Than the 1% Rule (New Real Estate Rule)
The rules of real estate investing have changed.
For years, investors were using the one-percent rule to quickly determine if a real estate deal would cash flow. But the one-percent rule, rent-to-price ratio, and other common rules of thumb have a glaring blind spot. They account for purchase price, but they don’t account for expenses.
Meanwhile, mortgage rates, taxes, and insurance have all
We Asked Brokers: Where Is the Biggest Buyer's Market Today?
Are the price cuts deeper than you think? Do buyers have even more power than we’ve been led to believe?
National housing data tells us one thing, but local-level expertise can paint a completely different picture. While national data points to marginal price cuts, brokers in major markets are seeing significantly more volatile numbers. We wanted to know what’s actually happening in big m
Fewer Investors Are Buying Homes as the Housing Market Shifts (Again)
The housing market is sending mixed signals—or so it seems. Foreclosures are rising, yet many investors are pulling back. Cash buyers are retreating, competition is cooling in many markets, and affordability challenges appear to be catching up with investors. Are these signs of another 2008-like collapse, or is there context behind the numbers?
This week’s headlines largely point to wanin
AI-Fueled Mini Housing Bubbles Form as Commercial Delinquencies Rise
AI is bringing 6,000 jobs to a small Texan town, and home prices are seeing a sizable jump…but what happens once the job is done? Is this just a mini housing bubble waiting to happen, or is buying near an AI boomtown actually worth the risk? These scenarios may begin popping up more and more—what happens when it’s in your neck of the woods?
We’re back with more headlines on what’s affecting the
The Bulletproof BRRRR in 2026 (Buying One Tomorrow!)
Today’s guest is buying a perfect BRRRR tomorrow. Even with today’s interest rates, even in this housing market, Zach Kepes is still making serious money with the strategy everyone has assumed is dead—the BRRRR method. He’ll walk away with tens of thousands in equity, get a trophy rental property that will bring in rent for decades, and add to his already impressive 300+ single-family home portfol
Capital Calls: What to Know Before You Put In More Cash
You invested in a real estate syndication, fund, or partnership. Now, the operator is coming to you asking for more cash. Whether expenses went up, income went down, mortgage rates had to be refinanced, or a combination of all three, you’re on the line—do you put more cash into the deal with hopes it saves your principal, or do you walk away, take a loss, and try again? This is what we do when the
Home Builders Are Bleeding as Sales Run Dry, Workers Vanish
Builders are struggling to survive, let alone sell homes, in 2026. Prices aren’t keeping pace, home sales are falling, and nobody can find the labor to build the houses in the first place. With concessions rising, buyers who stayed in the market are getting great deals. With the potential to boomerang back to regional undersupplied housing markets, the deals may very well be worth it.
It’
JPMorgan Makes a $750B Bet on the Housing Market
JPMorgan Chase, America’s largest bank, just made a big bet on housing—a $750B bet to be exact. At a time when most people hope home prices will fall, JPMorgan is gearing up to lend and invest in a huge way. Could this be a sign that those who buy now will be thanking themselves in the years to come? We’re getting into the details in today’s show.
It’s another housing market update! First, we’r
Finding Discounted Real Estate Just Got Easier
This is a game changer for real estate investing. In minutes (or even seconds), you can find every motivated seller in your area, see how desperate they are to sell, and even find new markets with discounted real estate deals. This used to take hours, even days, before—now you can do it in minutes. We can’t really even believe that this is so easy.
Today, Dave is walking through the new “
Signs That Your Rents Will Slow (or Grow) in 2026/2027
National rent prices are down year-over-year, but that’s not telling the whole story. Different properties in different markets are seeing an opposite reality. Some markets are seeing 3%-5% rent increases, while others are seeing that flipped negative. There are definitive reasons why some markets are growing while others are slowing and outright declining. Today, Dave is going to show you how to
A Buyer’s Summer Is “On” as Asking Prices See Steepest Decline Since 2017
Most investors understand that real estate is local. While the national headlines usually tell one story, regional and local data often tell a very different one.
This week’s headlines only reinforce this idea. On a national level, asking prices are declining at the fastest pace in nearly a decade, inviting many buyers to participate in the summer housing market despite ongoing affordabil
Vacation Rentals Are Officially on Sale: Where They’re Worth Buying
Vacation rental markets were some of the biggest winners of the housing boom several years ago. But where are those real estate markets today?
New data suggests that many of the operators who chased cash flow in the Airbnb gold rush are now looking to cut their short-term rentals loose. As it turns out, running a profitable Airbnb is much harder than it looks. So, does that make this the
2026's "Discounted" Properties Aren't the Bargain They Look Like
If you’re investing in real estate, you’re probably asking, “How much can this property make me?” But in 2026, it’s the opposite question that actually builds your wealth: “How much can this property cost me?” You’re seeing discounted deals on the listing sites; realtors and brokers may even be sending you off-market listings that look like steals. How do you know whether you should pass on them o
Fannie Mae IPO Could Have Serious Side Effects on Mortgage Rates
Nearly 50% of mortgages in the U.S. flow through Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac—but a push from the Trump Administration could sell shares of these government enterprises and put them in the hands of the public. The side effects could be significant to those getting or refinancing a mortgage—from interest rates to regulations.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac alone take up about half of the mortgage
New Construction Falls to 5-Year Low as Price Floor Nears
This isn’t a “good” housing market for anyone. Affordability remains a major barrier to homeownership. Sellers aren’t getting what they want for their homes. Now, builders are signaling that the current housing shortage could get even worse. It’s bad news for aspiring homeowners, but could it finally put a floor on this housing market correction?
This week’s headlines highlight how afford
You Can Retire with Even Less (Only Using Real Estate)
The average American will not be able to retire. 50% are going into their golden years with less than $500,000—significantly short of what would even be considered a livable retirement amount. Social Security only has so long before payments begin to get cut, and retiring during a stock market crash, or even a correction, can put you at sizable risk of returning to work.
But one asset can
Zillow: $1,000/Month Cash Flow Exists in These Markets
Zillow is seeing “signs of life” emerging in the housing market. Strong demand, days pending hitting pre-pandemic levels, and serious cash flow in specific markets. How long will this last, and what happens when new construction completions fall off a cliff in the near future? Will rents and home prices reverse, going from stable (and even falling) to rising as demand outpaces supply even more?
You Won’t Believe Why Mortgage Rates Are Going Up (Again)
You won’t believe why mortgage rates are going back up. It’s not because of the war, it’s not because of gas prices, and it’s not because of the Federal Reserve. Something nobody is talking about is playing a much bigger role in mortgage rates than most Americans think. It’s making big corporations richer while the average American continues to struggle to buy a home.
What is the hidden factor
2026 Housing Market Predictions: Seller Pain is Far From Over
The first half of the 2026 housing market is over, and now it’s time to answer the question everyone wants to know: What’s next? Will the market slow down even more and bring lower prices for patient buyers, or will a (surprisingly) resilient US economy finally give buyers what they’re looking for? We’re split. We’re disagreeing. And today, we’re giving our updated 2026 housing market predictions.
Workers Are Feeling the AI Squeeze: How It Could Define the Next Housing Cycle
Workers Are Feeling the AI Squeeze: How It Could Define the Next Housing CyclePodcast Description
If you ask the average American, AI is taking over, as are the headlines warning that it’s coming for our jobs. Open LinkedIn, and you’ll see stories about chatbots replacing employees, hiring freezes, and departments being downsized. But when you dig into the actual data, it’s murky at best. So, wha
Commercial Real Estate Is Quietly Setting Up for a Decade-Long Bull Run
We’ve officially reached the halfway point of 2026, and the housing market still feels…stuck.
The economy is in limbo. Home prices haven’t tanked. And we aren’t seeing significant large multifamily distress...not yet at least. Is it just a matter of time before the other shoe finally drops, or is this market more resilient than we expected?
Brian Burke is back to give his pulse check on th
The Data Is Lying: What Buyers Are Really Paying in 2026 (Less Than You Think)
We’ve all seen the data. Home prices are falling but remain relatively “flat,” year over year.
There’s just one problem: the data is lying.
We’re in a full-blown buyer’s market now, and what investors are actually paying for homes is much less than most people realize.
Behind the scenes, buyers are negotiating thousands—even tens of thousands—of dollars in seller concessions that never
Trump Just Stalled the Biggest Housing Bill in Decades
You’ve seen the headlines. The housing market is stuck. Distress is rising. But if you dig beneath the surface, the actual data tells a different story. The market isn’t in freefall, and in many places, there’s more “stability” than most people think. And small investors are quietly taking the lead.
This week’s stories all point the same way. Inventory is essentially “flat,” up just 0.25% year
Peace Deal Signed: Where Mortgage Rates Are Actually Headed
The peace deal between the U.S. and Iran has been agreed to (at least for now). The Strait of Hormuz, the chokehold on 20% of the world’s oil, is starting to open back up, and trade can, at least temporarily, continue. The question is, will inflation begin to fall if oil flows (more) freely through the Middle East? And if inflation falls, could mortgage rates be right behind them?
Today, we’re
The Fed Signals a Reversal in Rates
The new Federal Reserve Chair is already making news, signaling a major change to rates—and not in the way Americans were hoping for. With inflation up, the Fed has eyed raising, not cutting, the Federal Funds rate, all while changing key language on price stability at its most recent meeting. The question is, will they do it, or is this simply a bluff to stop the market from getting out of contro
Wall Street is Locking You Out of the Housing Market (Unless You Pay Up)
Wall Street is quietly monopolizing the housing market—and we’re not talking about them buying homes. It’s something more far-reaching, something that will affect every investor in every market on every single deal.
Your local HVAC, pest control, drywall, and plumbing companies are seemingly raising prices in tandem, and each year it gets more expensive. Your material costs are jumping, someti
What We're Buying During The 2026 Multifamily Crash
This is exactly what we’re buying, selling, and trading in Summer 2026. It’s a strange time for real estate—multifamily prices are crashing hard, single-family is staying stable, rents aren’t moving much, mortgage rates are back up—what do you do? Today, we’re sharing exactly what we’re doing with our real estate portfolios to make the most of a market many are too scared to buy (or sell) in.

New Data: U.S. Home Prices Are Hitting Their Floor
Did home prices just hit their floor? New demand data is showing something no one expected—buyers coming back. If the supply-demand balance hits equilibrium, we could see the national housing market begin to settle at prices like these. One thing that could change all that? Mortgage rates—and with a potential peace deal on the table between the U.S. and Iran, we could finally get some relief.

J Scott: We Have 1-2 Months Before the Economy Begins to Break
The next global recession is a lot closer than many Americans think. We’ve been (fairly) insulated from supply chain shocks stemming from the War in Iran, but within the next few months, things will begin to break. Oil reserves could run dry, energy costs could spike, and a new age of inflation could hit Americans in a way many of us are not prepared for.
In other words: We’re a bit screwed…at
The “Engine” of the U.S. Economy is Starting to Crack (It Will Affect Housing)
The “engine” of the U.S. economy is starting to crack—and real estate is already feeling the effects. Just last week, we touched on the hidden “recession” affecting many Americans. Today, we’ve got even more data to back up that analysis. Americans are at a breaking point, and the long-term trends are not looking good for spending, GDP, the economy, and real estate.
If you feel economic strain,
Home Listing Prices Fall for 16th Straight Week (and It Could Keep Coming)
Home listing prices have been falling for weeks, and it’s not just sellers who are getting fed up. Real estate agents have finally decided to call it quits, with many reaching their breaking point and leaving the industry altogether. But a glimmer of hope is on the horizon for the market, as one of the biggest housing bills in years just passed the House of Representatives. Could this get us back
The Ultimate "Stress Test" for the Housing Market: Do We Pass in 2026?
Every recession, crash, and major change in the real estate market has its warning signs. And while most people think these can only be seen in hindsight, we have “stress tests” today that signal corrections, crashes, or rising prices to come. These tests not only test the housing market, but also the economy as a whole, to tell us whether we’re going to spiral down for years or stay afloat.

James’s Exact Criteria for Finding High-Return, Overlooked Deals in 2026
More and more Americans are feeling confused about the housing market. Home prices are coming down, and mortgage rates are jumping back up. One day, everyone wants one type of property; the next, it’s being sold at a discount. If you get stuck in the herd mentality, you’ll miss what’s right in front of your eyes—profitable real estate deals 99% of investors are passing over.
Don’t believe us? T
The 2026 Recession Is Here
The 2026 recession is here. You feel it. I feel it. GDP is growing, but the cost of living is rising, affordability is at a multi-decade low, and consumer sentiment is at its lowest level in 70 years. The stock market is ripping, but Americans are struggling daily. Economists will tell you it’s not a recession (at least not yet), but according to my recession indicator…we’re there.

Inflation Is Back, and It's a Warning Sign for Mortgage Rates
Just when we thought it was handled, inflation is starting to surge back—and mortgage rates are already adjusting fast. But, for real estate investors, there’s a silver lining. Some markets are seeing rising rents and lower home prices, making it an ideal buying scenario for investors if they can hang on to the property during these high-rate times.
It’s been a wild week in the housing market,
Housing Market Forecasts Flip as Zillow, NAR, Fannie Mae Make New Predictions
New 2026 housing market forecasts have changed…dramatically. A major downgrade for home sales from NAR, a home price forecast revision from Zillow, and a new mortgage rate range from Fannie Mae. The industry is quickly growing much more anxious.
At the start of the year, the consensus was for modest price growth, lower mortgage rates, and improved home sale numbers—that’s not where we’re at rig
Senior Living Has 100% More Demand Coming…with Barely Any Supply
One type of investment property is experiencing severe undersupply with a 20-year demographic tailwind on the way. Demand is growing, new supply isn’t even hitting a quarter of the need, and investors are writing off much of this industry as already past its peak. Is this a strategic opportunity to invest in an asset so obvious it’s been overlooked?
Of course, we’re talking about senior living
U.S. Debt Surpasses GDP: Why Mortgage Rates Could "Spiral" From Here
The national debt just hit a dangerous new milestone, surpassing GDP—and the last time this happened, we just ended a world war. You already know the U.S. is heavily in debt—most Americans do—but nobody is asking the right question: at what point does this spiral out of control and force something in the economy to break?
Today, Dave is unpacking the next steps and the scenarios that could unf
U.S. Home Prices Turn Negative, Sellers Finally Give Up Ground
U.S. home prices have officially turned negative. For many months, sellers have resisted adjusting to current market conditions—until now. This could bring short-term pain for flippers and sellers, but overall, it’s a step in the right direction for a housing market that desperately needs prices to soften before it can become unstuck.
We’re back with more headlines from last week, including ne
Spring Housing Market Update: Deals Are Getting Better (Will It Last?)
We’ve got new data on the Spring housing market, and it’s…well, complicated.
The monthly data shows more of the same: a sluggish housing market with negative home price growth.
But zoom in, and the weekly data tells a different story. Pending sales and mortgage applications are ticking higher, and we’ve just crossed into what could be the strongest buyer’s market we’ve seen in years, with
Flippers Are Feeling Most Bullish in Months, Here’s Why
Buyers are waiting out the market, mortgage rates are rising again, and the economy seems as unstable as ever. So why are house flippers feeling bullish about investing in 2026? A new report has surfaced showing an overwhelmingly optimistic view of flipping houses, with active flippers registering stronger bullish signals than in previous months.
The question is: what are house flippers seeing
The Fed’s High-Stakes Power Struggle Affects Much More Than Mortgage Rates
Something is brewing at the Federal Reserve, and it’s starting to get ugly.
For many months, President Trump has been pressuring the Fed to lower the federal funds rate and has since named a new Fed chair nominee to take the reins after Jerome Powell's term ends. But what seemed like a straightforward transition has quickly evolved into a nasty political showdown—a “standoff” between the Depar
How America Could Soon Be Oversupplied with Homes
For years, we’ve been promised that a “tsunami” of homes would hit the market as Baby Boomers age, move into senior housing, and pass away. We’ve been waiting…and waiting, but we’re still millions of housing units short. Yet, even without a “silver tsunami,” another trend could push us toward a housing supply glut in the future—new builds.
Builder sentiment has dropped to a seven-month low. Hom
Housing Market Reverses Gains as Sentiment Reaches 70-Year Low
This could have profound effects on the housing market, and if you work or invest in real estate, you need to know what's coming next.
Energy shocks, high inflation, new job numbers, the worst consumer sentiment in 70 years…it’s all hitting us in a single week, and the housing market is already reacting. After months of affordability gains, mortgage rates jumped back to 6.4% in response to the
These High-Inventory Markets Could “Swing Up” in the Next Cycle
Could today’s weak housing markets become tomorrow’s winners? One particular real estate demand “cycle” says that it’s more than possible. Everyone has written off real estate markets where inventory has risen, prices have dropped (substantially), and migration has slowed. But what happens when the pendulum swings in the other direction, and these dead markets return to life?

The 2026 Property Tax Revolt: These States Move to End Property Taxes
Property taxes: banned.
There are now more than a dozen states across the country seeking to limit, reduce, or outright eliminate property taxes—and the support behind the efforts is growing. As property taxes explode across the U.S., homeowners are facing an average 30% increase, curbing affordability efforts. As a result, Florida, North Dakota, Indiana, Texas, and other states are considerin
Accidental Landlords Hit a High as Rising Interest Rates Freeze Buying
The housing market is locked up once again before the most important time of the year—the spring homebuying season. With interest rates flying back up to the mid-6% range and inflation anxiety rearing back, Americans are once again stuck. And it’s not just first-time homebuyers; accidental landlords are hitting a new high as homes get even harder to sell.
So, is the spring homebuying season… ca
Real Estate Isn’t as Safe From Inflation as You Think
Inflation is rising again, and everywhere on social media, we’re hearing people say, “Buy real estate!” Property is supposed to be the ultimate inflation hedge. The problem? Real estate may not save you from the inflation heading our way. In fact, home prices could get worse if things continue this way. But how?
For decades, we’ve been told that real estate is the ultimate inflation hedge. It’s
This Could Be the Best Real Estate "Buy" of 2026
This could be the best real estate “buy” of 2026. While mortgage rates are climbing back up and everyone is waiting out the housing market—again—one man is going all in: James Dainard.
If you’ve listened to On the Market for a while, you know James is never not buying—but what he’s buying changes by the week, or even by the day. Last year, James got burned (a bit) on house flipping and new deve
The $3T Problem No One in Real Estate is Paying Attention To
A $3 trillion market is beginning to crack. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has sounded off, saying there are “cockroaches” in the system. Investors are pulling billions of dollars out of the market, and real estate could be affected in a massive way.
This is the private credit crisis explained.
When big investors go to buy or build, they don’t always take money from a bank; instead, they get loan
The First Domino? Investors Pull Billions as Real Estate Bank Runs Return
Investors are pulling billions of dollars (yes, billions) out of real estate investments at a record pace as “bank run” style withdrawals return. Blackstone has already seen record withdrawal requests of over $3 billion. Could this be the first domino to fall that could set off a private credit crisis, pulling multifamily prices down even more?
We’re back with this week’s biggest headlines—fro
A $48T “Structural Shift” to the Housing Market is Only Just Beginning
A “structural shift” is happening in the housing market—one that will permanently change how home prices appreciate. We could be experiencing the last era of steady, rising home prices as we enter into a new reality—a reality without Baby Boomers owning real estate.
For years, a “silver tsunami” has been predicted to “crash” the housing market. With Baby Boomers downsizing, aging in place, and
Melody Wright’s Honest Take On the “Worse Than 2008” Crash Claim
A housing price correction “worse than 2008”? That’s the headline of Melody Wright’s widely-cited Newsweek interview, but today, she’s giving her full, honest take on what she really meant.
Melody got into the mortgage industry in 2006, riding the subprime wave up until it popped two years later. The lender she worked for went bankrupt in 2012, as Melody witnessed the fallout firsthand. From th
The White-Collar Recession Means More for Real Estate Than You Think
The next recession is already here. You may not see it, but you definitely feel it. Companies are quietly letting go of dozens or hundreds of workers at a time, interviews are getting harder to land, and those around you who made the most money are suddenly just trying to get by.
This is the “white collar recession”—and a new report could prove that it’s about to get much more severe. And what
The Housing Market Freezes as Americans Brace for War
Could the war in Iran reverse all the interest rate relief we’ve received throughout the past year? With oil shooting up in price, unintended consequences could trickle down to your mortgage rate—and Americans are already feeling the shock.
The housing market is re-freezing as buyers (and sellers!) stay on the sidelines as the world feels more and more unstable. What does this mean for your mor
The Best (and Worst) Housing Markets in America (March 2026 Update)
The housing market is split. Some real estate markets are seeing low inventory, rising prices, and fierce buyer competition. Others are seeing steep price cuts, desperate sellers, underwater owners, and delinquency rates creeping up.
So, which housing markets are the riskiest in the country? Which market has the highest chance of seeing home price growth while the rest of America struggles for
75,000 “Relistings” Could Hit the Market, But Inventory WON’T Explode?
Remember all those homes that were “delisted” in the fall and winter? The homes that sellers took off the market when they couldn’t get the price they wanted? Well, now, the frozen housing market is thawing, and 75,000 “relistings” could boomerang back into the market. With a new wave of inventory, would this be the catalyst for home prices to drop even more?

You Have Until 2031: What Happens When Population Goes Negative?
There’s a ticking time bomb for the U.S. housing market that nobody is talking about. It’s the biggest existential threat to home prices and housing demand, and it (arguably) can’t be stopped. The question is, how long do we have until it happens?
Today, we’re talking about population: what happens when the U.S. population begins to decline, and the need for housing falls year after year? Death
Tariffs Out, Housing Bill In: Big Changes Coming for Real Estate
Many of President Trump’s tariffs have been canceled—and the housing market could stand to benefit. Could this be yet another sign that inflation is slowing and that mortgage rates can continue to fall?
This is big news for the housing market, but it’s not even the biggest news of this episode.
Today, we’re going over everything you may have missed. From the Supreme Court striking down tari
Off by Nearly 1 MILLION Jobs? Why New Jobs Report Will Impact Rentals
Big economic news dropped last week: labor data, inflation rates, and huge jobs revisions. All of these are already impacting the housing market, but could new numbers cause an even greater shift that could affect your mortgage rate, your rents, and your next deal?
Rental property owners, agents, sellers, and buyers: this news affects what you’re doing right now. New labor data beat the odds, wit
2026 Mortgage Update: Lower Rates, ARMs Return, and When to Refi
Rental property financing is becoming much easier. For years, seven and eight-percent rates made it brutal to make deals work. But now, things are changing—for the better.
Mortgage rates in the five-percent range? HELOCs with no closing costs? Seller concessions to buy down your interest rate, and a smoother path to affordable properties? It’s all culminating in 2026, and this could be one of t
Buying (and Building) Houses Could Get a LOT Easier (New Bill)
This could be the most important shift in the housing market in years.
Something truly remarkable just happened that will impact almost every facet of real estate. The “Housing for the 21st Century Act” just passed the House in a landslide vote, with bipartisan support from Democrats and Republicans. But unlike past housing proposals, this one focuses on the thing that could actually fix the ho
2026’s Top Growing Cities (People Are Moving Here!)
The “lock-in effect” is finally starting to break, and Americans are moving yet again. But, where are they going? The top cities people are moving to aren’t what you’d expect—in fact, many of them are where prices are actively falling. Is now the time to buy as populations grow and homes remain affordable?
Three major housing market shifts are unfolding this week, and we're breaking them all do
Trump’s New Fed Pick Could Raise Interest Rates, Defy Expectations
A new Fed Chair has been nominated—and he could do what no Fed has done before.
Kevin Warsh, the youngest Fed governor appointed, serving during the Great Financial Crisis, is Trump’s new pick, and his decisions could have major impacts on the housing market. But the mainstream media is missing a few key variables, falsely assuming that Warsh will kick off a series of rate cuts that end in lowe
Make 30% More Than Regular Rentals? One Property Sees “Explosive” Demand
This type of rental property is seeing “explosive” demand. But, they’re cheaper than many regular rental properties, get 30% more rent, and take less work than vacation rentals. More and more Americans are using them, and where they’re needed most, there’s not much supply.
You might have thought it wouldn’t last, but medium-term rentals are becoming the rental property investor’s cash cow—and w
The “18-Year Real Estate Cycle” Ends in 2026 (What Now?)
The 18-year real estate cycle calls for a crash in 2026. It correctly predicted the 2008 crash, it was right for decades in a row in the 1800s, and many say it’s the one true oracle for home prices.
Funnily enough, it’s been 18 years since 2008, and home prices are starting to peak.
