Want to make WAY more cash flow? This rental strategy’s demand is surging, and there’s not enough supply!

• “Technical” Recession is Imminent: Is the Housing Market Safe? w/J Scott

  What the heck is happening with the US economy? Stocks are down, now they’re up, mortgage rates are dropping—wait, scratch that—they’re back up again, the Fed could have a new chair, and if they cut rates, interest rates could…rise? A “technical” recession is on the way, but will it have the same effects as the last one? We need some backup to explain the state of the US economy, and J Scott is here to do just that. J wrote the book on Recession-Proof Real Estate Investing and is known as one of the most economically aware real estate investors. Today, we’re diving into it all: mortgage rates, recession chances, inflation rates, tariffs, trade wars, future home price predictions, and what J plans to do with his money. Home prices are already unstable, but could a recession, combined with high inventory and low demand, push us over the edge? This may not be another 2008, for many reasons, but the psychological effect of a recession can be severe—especially on homebuyers and sellers. We’re giving you J’s complete overview of the economy today. In This Episode We Cover Whether or not home prices are at risk as we enter a “technical” recession J’s investment plan for 2025 and the assets he’s most bullish on The massive undersupply problem that’s propping up the housing market Inflation forecasts and the unexpected tariff side effects that could cost Americans Why “just buy American” won’t stop you from feeling inflation How the Fed cutting rates could…raise rates?

• Stagflation Risk Rising Fast as US Economy Falls Out of Balance

  Stagflation: the combination of two of the worst economic conditions—inflation and slow/no growth. With stagflation, prices rise, asset growth shrinks, unemployment increases, consumer confidence drops, and economic pain spreads. This is the first time in almost fifty years that the US has had to deal with what is an extremely rare economic scare. And with the Fed already under immense pressure to lower rates, is the US economy out of escape routes? Today, we’re talking about stagflation—a trend that has worried major economists for months. Economic “warning signs” are already flashing as recession and inflation risks grow. But if we get hit with stagflation, how bad will it be, how long will it last, and how will it affect real estate? I’m explaining it all today. We’ll walk through what happened during the 1970s stagflation crisis, how home and rent prices were affected, what’s causing today’s stagflation risk, and whether the Fed has any power left to mitigate the worst consequences of it. This could affect every American and anyone investing in American real estate, but have my investing plans changed? I’ll tell you what I’m doing next.  In This Episode We Cover Stagflation explained and why it’s becoming a greater risk in 2025 Why the Fed may be out of options to fight stagflation and what’s causing it Reviewing the 1970s stagflation crisis and what happened to real estate prices then Inflation forecasts for 2025 and how much more prices could rise My current investing plan and how I’m looking at real estate if stagflation strikes And So Much More!

• Housing Market at Risk as Rates Rise, Dollar Weakens, Demand Freezes

  The housing market may be at greater risk than many of us thought. An economic trifecta is forming. If all three conditions hit at once, it could spell serious problems for anyone in the real estate industry. We may be close to a time when high home prices, high mortgage rates, and a recession all meet, causing a significant slowdown with effects that could hurt everyone who buys, sells, or helps transact on homes. But how likely is this to happen? The past month has been a wild ride for the economy. Mortgage rates fell dramatically but are now shooting back up. Inflation and unemployment fears are peaking as consumer confidence drops to unprecedented levels. And now, new tariffs could drive costs even higher. This could change everything, weakening the US dollar and making buying a house even harder. Every real estate investor, agent, lender, or professional should understand these risks because the effects could be severe. In this episode, we’re breaking down all the latest economic changes and how they affect the housing market. In This Episode We Cover New risks to the housing market that could cause big changes for buyers and sellers Why interest rates are starting to reverse, shooting back up EVEN with high recession risk The trifecta of bad news for the housing market and what investors must know now What a weakening dollar means for mortgage rates and the US economy as a whole Transaction volume forecasts and whether we’ll still see a hot spring homebuying season And So Much More!

• These Are The Perfect Investing Markets for 2025

  What if you could predict how a housing market performs before buying there? This would allow you to invest only in the best areas across the US, putting money down where you know it will multiply and letting you get leagues ahead of the other investors. This is MORE than possible, but you’ll need to know which metrics mean the most to an investing market. Neal Bawa has been doing this for years, building a huge real estate investing empire simply by looking at the data others often ignore. Today, he’s giving you his exact strategy. Why should you NOT invest in your backyard? It may seem like the easiest place to start, but Neal says you could miss out on a massive upside by sticking to what is comfortable. As a data scientist, he puts the numbers before the hype, ditching cities that investors are flocking to and investing in those that only have the most solid fundamentals. He mentions one metric that makes a housing market grow or slow in rent prices, but which metric is it? Today, Neal is sharing the best markets across the US to invest in, why renters prefer one type of housing over others (it’s not what you’d think), what Neal is buying NOW even with high interest rates and still (relatively) stubborn sellers, and why his six-metric formula is the key to predicting which markets will boom. In This Episode We Cover How to predict rent growth and home price growth in ANY market in America Multifamily vs. single-family rentals and why one hybrid is beating both Neal’s top 2025 markets to invest in using his six-metric market formula Why Neal stopped making offers on apartments and started buying THIS instead Is local real estate investing hurting your returns? Here’s why you may want to move your money And So Much More!
