With interest rates hovering around 7%, this is the worst time to purchase an investment property, right? Of course not! Investors are hyper focusing on interest rates when they should be focusing on opportunity and timing. What makes debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) loans exciting is how they act like commercial loans where the purchaser doesn’t qualify for the loan, the property does. Factors such as rental income, easier qualifications, and more make DSCR loans a great program for buyers looking to invest outside of California even with liability and vacancies posing as potential drawbacks. Today host Joe Cucchiara explains the benefits to investing with a DSCR loans versus the conventional loan you already know.

Interest rates are too high! Don’t make any moves with your real estate! If those statements sounded like complete garbage to you, then you know that those are just things the media will say to scare consumers. Longtime listeners of RERL and real estate professionals are aware that there is no wrong or correct time to buy. As host Joe Cucchiara has always said, as long as you have a good team of professionals to help you through the process, the right time to buy is when the time is right for you! Look at the bigger picture and you’ll see that the lack of inventory in the Bay Area is keeping prices high. It’s likely that when rates dip, buyers and sellers will rush back to the market and home prices will go up again.

The National Association of Realtors found themselves on the wrong end of a landmark decision today. High commissions have long been a point of contention for consumers already paying top dollar for their new home and now future buyers and sellers will finally get a win. Not only will the NAR be forced to pay out millions for artificially inflating commissions, but they will also be forced to make a number of systemic changes that will benefit consumers. Will this class action lawsuit be the springboard that streamlines the home buying process by integrating technology? Today host Joe Cucchiara and Jack Russo discuss what impact the NAR’s big loss may have on the real estate industry.

Q2 is fast approaching, but just one month ago a sudden spike in interest rates froze consumers just as they were getting pumped up to start the season. Of course, the market wasn’t going to stay stagnant for long. Inventory is trickling in and while it is still a sellers’ market, only specific areas are attracting the same hand over fist draw that consumers are used to seeing. So, what are the best home seller strategies when buyers are shackled by higher interest rates? Host Joe Cucchiara explains how to buy down the interest rate with the sellers’ credit and other clever approaches to get your house sold while inventory is still low.

Years ago, people got in trouble for taking advantage of the elderly by abusing reverse mortgages. Today the reverse mortgage still carries around a lot of that stigma, but that ends now! With interest rates still solidly in the 7% range, a reverse mortgage can be a tremendous benefit to any homeowner aged 62 or older who would describe themselves as house rich and cash poor. Don’t run from the reverse mortgage thinking it's the same product that hurt your grandparents. Host Joe Cucchiara explains why you should treat the reverse mortgage as just another alternative financing option to increase your cashflow.

How low do rates need to go to make a difference in the marketplace? Just a couple years ago consumers could get 30-year fixed loans with interest as low as 3%. This spurred a huge boom in refinances and home purchases. To no one’s surprise, interest rates jumped up to 8%. The sudden spike paralyzed the consumer and the economy making last year one of the worst years for real estate transactions. Will the market start to turn around now that interest rates have begun to settle in the 6-7% range? Today host Joe Cucchiara put his nearly 25 years in the real estate business to the test with these bold market predictions.

Way back in the early 2000’s, everyone in the mortgage company panicked when a single company decided they would go all in and become the first online mortgage company. It didn’t take long for professionals to figure out how archaic the system was and today, going online for any part of your home buying experience is just part of the process. Now AI is making its big debut in real estate as Zillow announces it will utilize AI in the products for both consumers and professionals. Looking to go beyond the Zestimate, Zillow plans to dive deeper into the home buying process by providing buyers with personalized home recommendations and acting like an assistant in negotiations. Today Joe Cucchiara and Jack Russo look at the future of real estate through our computers.

Despite the recent ups and downs we’ve seen in the market, sellers around the US have been happy with their transactions over the last 10 years; but have they gotten the short end of the stick? The National Association of Realtors and a few major brokers have been found guilty of inflating their commissions in Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois. Though this only pertains to a few states for now, the rest of the US will likely follow and potentially bankrupt the whole industry or force mass consolidation. Today Joe Cucchiara and Jack Russo look at the significant blow the NAR just took and how things like automation and blockchain technology will further disrupt the industry.

When the housing market was strong, nearly everyone either had a part time gig in real estate or they fully switched career paths for easy money. Now that the market has slowed, nearly 40% of loan officers declined the option to renew their license this year. It’s an unfortunate, but necessary cycle that weeds out those who dabbled in the market and leaves only those who are truly committed. Of course, this cycle is not limited to only real estate, all businesses need to experience the same process of burn and regrowth to become stronger. While closing the sale of Twitter to current Owner Elon Musk, the law firm Wachtell Lipton Rosen & Katz racked up a massive bill to the social media company in a less than ethical manner by committing to astronomical hourly and success fees. Today Joe Cucchiara and Jack Russo look at the shocking way money is changing Silicon Valley ethics.

The real estate market is slowly leaking air, and it’s not just in residential. The construction of Google’s downtown San Jose mega-campus was put on hold, and it might not be completely due to workers refusing to head back to the office. Google’s campus was expected to create thousands of new jobs and provide housing for several thousand as well, but that was before ChatGPT changed what is possible in the workforce. AI is all set to slash an incredible amount of middle tier jobs from the workforce by replacing hours of human done research with a quick search done with a few key phrases. Today Joe Cucchiara and Jack Russo discuss ChatGPT’s probable place in the workforce.

It’s been quite a day for Silicon Valley. Stock prices for Silicon Valley Bank plunged from a hearty 260 to a meager 26, a whopping 90% reduction, over the course of just a few days! Solvency and liquidity have become an urgent issue for Silicon Valley bank as it has backed many FinTech startups over the years, many of which were crypto firms that have been going under. First Republic Bank also took a solid hit today signaling that this situation could have national and global ramifications.

While California and New York have always been expensive places to live, the middle US has historically been a reliable area to purchase affordable housing. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case today and the housing market is essentially broken. One of the reasons why housing prices continue to skyrocket across the country is the increasing cost of labor which is something consumers will just have to accept – or will they? The inevitable has happened and computer-based automation is now set to take its place in home development. Host Joe Cucchiara asks Jack Russo if a more stable housing market can be created by printing 3D homes.

Not too long ago the silicon valley lifestyle of the constant hustle was something to be glorified. Who didn’t come to California dreaming about being the startup CEO who bikes to work at 4 am and spends 12+ hours building a successful business? Well, it seems the luster of a luxurious workplace has finally started to wear off and having a plethora of creature comforts at the office is no longer attractive enough to supplant an improved quality of life. For the first time in several years, segments of the housing market are starting to slow, but are they the areas our host Joe Cucchiara predicted in previous podcasts? Joe discusses reasons for the newest turn in the housing market with RERL’s good friend, Jack Russo.

Covid and the lockdown did very little in the way of shutting down technology. In fact, it did quite the opposite. The pace at which professionals have come to use technology was forcibly accelerated – unless you work in real estate or lending. Two years have gone by and there has been virtually no progress in assisting consumers with the lending or real estate transaction. Joe Cucchiara and Jack Russo discuss the stagnated transaction process of buying and selling a home and where advancements need to begin.

Most of us would be surprised to learn how many people around us are dealing with mental health issues. May is mental health awareness month and even if you are not fighting a mental illness yourself, it’s a good time to learn about the people around us who are. Joining Joe Cucchiara to discuss the importance of mental health is none other than his daughter, Rachel Cucchiara, an advocate of mental wellness for all who started fighting her own mental health battles 14 years ago. The pandemic brought up a whole slew of new mental illnesses and elevated a lot of existing ones, but if you find the confidence to share your story, you may find you’ve had a positive and profound impact on someone who needs help around you.
