  • Real estate definitely relies a lot on location…

    But it’s actually “financing it right” that makes or breaks a deal.

    However, with higher interest rates and lending standards tightening, it's tough to know if you're getting a good deal…

    That's why I'm pumped to bring you my latest conversation with Andrew Westling…

    …where he shares insights on today's lending landscape across all major asset classes and how real estate is performing across the nation.

    …where his team manages a massive $130 billion servicing portfolio.

    That means, he's got access to real-time data and a deep perspective on the current state of the debt markets and where they're headed.

    In our conversation, Andrew breaks down:

    Why today's loans might be the "best loans we've written in a long, long time"

    The surprising asset class that's become lenders' new favorite

    How to use preferred equity and mezzanine debt to bridge the gap when senior debt falls short

    The clever trick some borrowers are using to slash their interest rates by over 100 basis points

    Why CMBS loans are suddenly winning deals over Fannie and Freddie

    If you're trying to get deals done in this market, you can't afford to miss this insider knowledge.

  • Do you ever wish you had a crystal ball to see where the housing market is headed?

    I know I do.

    And while there's no such thing as a perfect forecast, there are some key data points we can watch to get a pulse on what's coming.

    That's why I'm so excited to have Mike Simonsen on the show today to get his insights on…

    …the current housing trends, the leading indicators that are most predictive, and what it all means for the market in 2025 and beyond.

    Mike is the founder of Altos Research, a firm that tracks every home for sale in the country and provides real-time market data.

    The most important leading indicators to watch for shifts in the market

    Why housing affordability can remain low for extended periods in some markets (and what that means for prices)

    The surprising reason why this recession could have less impact on housing than most

    Why a drop in interest rates could lead to a surge in buyer demand and lift us out of a recession

    Why the next recession could look a lot different from 2008 when it comes to housing (and how to position yourself accordingly)

    Plus, Mike also reveals the one chart that makes a housing correction seem inevitable…

    …and the compelling case for why it may not play out that way.

    So whether you're actively investing or just trying to time your next purchase…

  • In this Topical Tuesday episode, I spoke with Igor Shaltanov who is a former professional athlete, who made the transition to becoming a real estate investor. He started by acquiring single units of real estate and self-managing these properties.

This shift opened up opportunities for retail investors, and ultimately led to the launch of his investment firm, Avista Fund.

    Be sure to tune in if you’re interested in learning about:

    Key advice for athletes and busy professionals on understanding finances and the importance of self-education in investing

  • The U.S. dollar is the lifeblood of the global financial system…

    It's the currency that underpins every financial transaction worldwide…whether it's based in dollars or not.

    But what most people don't know is…

    The U.S. government actively uses the dollar as a weapon to enforce its foreign policy agenda.

    It's a tool that gives the U.S. immense power to influence geopolitics and global economics.

    But there's a growing concern that the U.S. may have overplayed its hand…

    And that the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency could be at risk.

    What would happen to the U.S. economy if the dollar lost its dominance?

    How would that impact real estate markets and your investments?

    That's why today, I brought Saleha Mohsin to the show to get her insights on the dollar's role in the global economy and what it means for you as a real estate entrepreneur.

    Saleha is the author of the book “Paper Soldiers” and has spent a decade covering the U.S. Treasury for Bloomberg News.

    In today’s podcast, Saleha breaks down...

    The history of how the dollar became the world's reserve currency

    How the U.S. "weaponizes" the dollar to enforce sanctions and cut off nations from global finance

    The potential threats to the dollar's dominance and what could dethrone it

    What a weakening of the dollar's global status could mean for U.S. real estate markets and your investments

    Plus, she shares insider stories from her time covering the Treasury under multiple administrations.

    This is a side of U.S. economic policy that most real estate investors never consider...

    But it's good to understand these forces that shape our markets!
