We’ve got great news for investors, agents, lenders, and first-time homebuyers: housing inventory is about to rise…big time. After years of limited inventory, with homebuyers fighting tooth and nail to get into just about any home, the tide is finally turning. Rick Sharga from CJ Patrick Company brings new data and insight to the show, sharing why we could return to pre-pandemic housing inventory levels by the end of 2025.
Why is that good news for so many of us? Because home prices could slow, if not drop, in some markets as buyers get a better selection of houses to choose from. Those “locked-in” owners with rock-bottom interest rates have waited long enough to sell, and 2025 could be the time they put their homes on the market. But if a new wave of inventory hits the housing market, are we at risk of a home price correction or a crash?
Rick shares what the data shows and why investors are so pessimistic about the current housing market, even with the inventory forecasts looking so good. Will foreclosures rise again as consumer debt hits an all-time high? Could more off-market deals be in the pipeline in 2025? We’re asking Rick and getting answers to all those questions in today’s show.
In This Episode We Cover
A historic housing inventory rebound and why this is great news for buyers, agents, and lenders
Whether home prices will grow, stabilize, or crash with so much new inventory coming online
The new Investor Sentiment Survey and why optimism fell off a cliff in Q4 2024

Will these cities become the best real estate markets of 2025? Norada Real Estate Investments, a turnkey real estate provider, thinks so. So today, we brought back data analyst Austin Wolff and short-term rental expert Garrett Brown to give their takes on the markets Norada is calling some of the hottest for this year. Some make complete sense to us, but we’re a bit cautious of others. That being said, the number one market on the list is one we can ALL agree with.
Austin and Garrett are on today to give both a long-term and short-term rental perspective. Some of these cities show tremendous economic growth, but will that be enough for an Airbnb to succeed in the area? Could stricter short-term regulations make long-term rentals a better option in these cities? We’re diving into each of the top five cities and giving our thoughts on which investments will work, which won’t, and whether we’d buy there.
Plus, the number one market on the list is getting us all very excited. With massive economic upside and fundamentals that make it great for long- and short-term rentals, this is one market every investor should watch closely—or even consider buying in.
In This Episode We Cover
Norada’s top real estate markets of 2025 (and whether we agree with them)
2025’s number-one real estate investing city that we are all extremely bullish on
Criteria you can use to judge any real estate investing area (economy, housing supply, etc.)
Why some of the top cities do NOT make good short-term rental markets
One city that is currently struggling but has tremendous future potential

There will be some huge changes to the real estate market not only in 2025 but through 2028. With signs pointing to a supply slowdown, this may be one of the last chances to invest in real estate before prices, rents, and demand significantly rise. So today, right at the start of 2025, bringing on co-host and expert flipper James Dainard and multifamily expert (who correctly predicted the commercial real estate crash) Brian Burke to share the best strategies for 2025 and beyond.
Every year, more and more people say it’s not the right time to buy real estate, only for them to return the next year and wish they had purchased real estate. Let’s make sure that isn’t you in 2026. We’re seeing some massive opportunities, with substantial price cuts in multifamily. But that’s not all; there are single-family deals to be done in markets that the masses overlook entirely.
James and Brian even share what they’re trying to buy in 2025, the markets they think will have the best growth over the next ten years, and why you should be trying your absolute hardest to purchase investment properties before 2027 (we’ll get into why in the episode!).

Interest rates are up yet again, even after multiple Fed rate cuts in 2024. What’s happening, and how long can this last? Bond investors worry inflation is here to stay. This concern forces bond yields—and mortgage rates—to grow. Can Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve do anything to ease investors’ minds or do we have a long road of high rates ahead of us? We’re getting into it in this headlines show!
Don’t let rising rates stop you from building wealth; we have more stories that showcase an optimistic future outlook for real estate investors. From an incoming commercial real estate recovery that has been multiple years in the making to sellers finally submitting to the market and putting their homes up for sale, it’s not all bad news going into 2025.
One natural disaster-ravaged state finally puts its foot down and forces insurance companies to write policies in risky areas. Is this a much-needed government intervention, or will this shift the burden of high insurance costs onto investors and homeowners? We’re sharing our opinion in this episode!
In This Episode We Cover
The “bond vigilantes” that are keeping yields high and rates above seven percent
Why, even after multiple Fed rate cuts, interest rates continue to rise
The commercial real estate recovery and whether we’re at the bottom for this struggling asset class
Pricey home insurance premiums and the one state that’s forcing new policies to be written
Housing inventory updates and a sign that owners are finally ready to sell their low-rate homes

Are we finally at the end stages of this harsh housing market? With housing inventory increasing, mortgage rates steadily falling, and inflation cooling, we might be returning to a much healthier time to buy a house. But one of these improvements we’ve seen over the past year could begin reversing, and that’s creating some interesting future scenarios. One that even we’re surprised to hear as we bring on top housing market analyst Logan Mohtashami.
Logan has referred to 2022-2023’s housing market as “savagely unhealthy,” but he’s a bit more optimistic now that we’re seeing relief. While we’re still not at 2019 inventory levels (which were already low), we’re slowly getting there. However, we could see the positive inventory trend start to reverse, leading to even more affordability problems for homebuyers. So what has to happen for affordability to see meaningful improvement?
Today, Logan is giving us his take on housing inventory, where mortgage rates could be heading, and why we may NOT see a spike in home prices even if rates fall significantly (something most analysts are bullish on).
In This Episode We Cover
Logan’s housing market, mortgage rate, and inventory forecast
Why our increasing housing inventory could reverse once rates start to fall
The one thing holding affordability back and whether Logan has hopes of it improving
Why watching the labor market and jobs numbers will help you predict mortgage rates
Were we wrong about the “lower rates = higher home prices” premise?

Which investing trends could make you wealthy in 2024? First, we had long-term rentals, then the BRRRR strategy, short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, syndications…the list goes on and on. And while trends come and go, acting on them at the right time could be your ticket to financial freedom. So, which trends are worth investing in this year, and which are dying out and should be avoided? We’re giving our takes on this episode.
Some of the trends in this episode are brand new—only with advanced technology have these investments even been made possible, but some are trends you may already be part of. From room rentals to very flexible commercial investments, Elon Musk’s new affordable housing, and a way to “build” your own one percent rule properties, these trends have gone mostly unnoticed but are sure to catch fire in the coming years.
But, some trends that exploded over the pandemic should be put to rest. These once cash-flowing investments reached their heyday in 2022 and 2023 and are slowly becoming lackluster (and often dangerous) investments for new investors. Which tactics are we talking about? Stick around to find out!
In This Episode We Cover
Future real estate investing trends that could offer BIG cash flow in 2024 and 2025
The flexible commercial real estate investment that online businesses rely on to survive
Kathy’s billion-dollar idea for a match-making app using this specific strategy
How to maximize your dollar per square foot by renting out PARTS of your property
The new smart homes that could finally solve the affordable housing problem
How to create the one percent rule (EVEN in 2024) by building your own rentals
Dying trends that are seeing low cash flow, high vacancies, and tough turnover

Redfin just released their highly-anticipated 2025 housing market forecast, and today, we’re reacting to each of their ten crucial housing market predictions. We’re touching on the exact numbers you want to hear about—home prices, mortgage rates, home sales, rent prices, and housing supply. Knowing what’s coming could give you an edge as an investor, agent, or first-time homebuyer.
First, we’re reviewing Redfin’s home price predictions for 2025. Will things get any more affordable, or will high home prices persist into 2025? Will mortgage rates finally reach the low sixes, maybe even into the high fives? Dave disagrees with Redfin’s take on interest rates, so where does he think they’ll be headed?
If you’re a real estate agent, broker, loan officer, or in the industry, listen up! Redfin has some good news you want to hear about home sales! Renters and landlords, take note—Redfin’s predictions suggest rents could become more affordable for everyday Americans. But that’s not all; we’ll also review their housing inventory, agent commission, and migration predictions for 2025!
In This Episode We Cover
Redfin’s notable 2025 mortgage rate prediction that most homebuyers DON’T want to hear
2025 home price forecast and whether or not we’ll continue to see prices climb
The “step in the right direction” for home sales coming in 2025
Why homebuilders are getting bullish thanks to the 2024 Republican sweep
Why Gen Z may be the first generation to give up on homebuying

If you didn’t buy real estate in 2024, you missed out. While all the YouTube crash bros and mainstream media were hyping up how overpriced the real estate market is, we were out buying deals—and we bet many of you were, too! So, as we wind down 2024, we’re looking back on the best real estate deals we did this year and how 2024 turned out to be a much more profitable investing year than any of us would have expected.
For some of us, 2024 was our best year yet for real estate investing! One of us made half a million dollars (yes, $500,000+) on a single real estate transaction. We picked up on-market deals for fifty percent off (while the competition completely overlooked them) and sold house flips for higher-than-asking-price as buyers returned to the market.
We’re sharing our actual profit numbers, exactly how much we bought (and sold) some of these properties for, and the tactics we used to beat the masses. If you didn’t invest in 2024, don’t miss out again in 2025—there are still plenty of great opportunities waiting!
In This Episode We Cover
Why 2024 was a surprisingly good year for real estate investing (we’re proof!)
The “goldmine” property that resulted in a $500,000+ profit
The trick Henry used to get WAY more bidders on his house flip and sell for over-asking price
Why Dave makes offers on houses during the holiday season to get HUGE discounts
The tax “loophole” (if you want to call it that) that Kathy used to get a $100,000 write-off!

Ever seen those YouTube videos titled “A housing crash is coming THIS year!” or “Prices are falling 50% in *insert state*”? If so, you’re not alone. There’s so much housing market clickbait being thrown at you daily that it’s hard to distinguish the actual data from the “expert takes” only done for clicks. So today, we’re breaking down some of the most hyped housing market takes from YouTube, examining the data they’re using, and giving our thoughts.
To join us is Jeb Smith, a real estate broker associate with over 18 years of experience and a fellow YouTuber who’s just as tired as we are of the constant “crash bros” populating your YouTube homepage.
Together, Dave and Jeb are breaking down a couple of recent videos, one talking about the “50% price cuts in California” and a “major housing crash,” as well as one video anticipating that “all hell breaks loose” come this December (wait, isn’t it December already?)
Together, our goal is to ensure you never get fooled by easily manipulated data so you can make the best investing decisions.
In This Episode We Cover
The “major housing crash” coming to California and whether there’s truth in this
Why one real estate media channel thinks all hell will break loose soon
Demystifying the data behind the real estate “crash bros” on YouTube
Whether Jeb believes home prices will rise (or fall) in the coming year
