What if you could buy a home while paying rent? Real Estate Talk Podcast hosts Joshua Britt and Robert Keilman sit down with Frank Rohde, the CEO and co-founder of Ownify. Ownify is a re-imagined path towards homeownership. As rising home prices, increasing mortgage rates, high down payments, student loan debt, and record credit card debt balances make buying a home more out of reach for the typical American; Ownify offers an alternative solution.
Geared towards first time home buyers, instead of applying for a traditional mortgage through a bank or mortgage company; Ownify will partner with the home buyer to purchase a home; the new home buyer will pay rent and a portion of that rent will go towards purchasing the home one brick at a time.
The homebuyer will require a 2% down payment, either from their personal funds or as gift funds from friends or family members; and Ownify will cover closing costs, earnest money deposit, inspections and repairs. Next, the homebuyer will need to get pre=qualified within minutes with Ownify through their website at www.ownify.com.
The homebuyer can work with a real estate agent of their choosing, or Ownify can recommend an agent within their area.
Once the home buyer moves into their new home; they will already have a 2% equity stake in the home. As they pay rent, a portion of their rent goes towards buying more "bricks" or shares of equity stake in the property. For a further breakdown on how Ownify works watch their video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/pzLGlGzQs2c.
According to Rohde, Ownify is a venture-funded fractional homeownership platform that leverages socially conscious capital to solve home affordability for first time home buyers while achieving strong returns for investors. Prior to becoming the CEO of Ownify, Rohde spent 15 years as the CEO of Nomis Solutions, the leading mortgage and loan pricing engine globally. Running Nomis, Rohde worked with 100+ banks and lenders on mortgage loan, and deposit pricing.
During that time, Rohde saw the challenge for the first-time home buyer in the data of his company's clients and decided to do something about it. So, he sold Nomis and started Ownify.
Rohde is a 3x fintech founder / entrepreneur with experience in data science / machine learning / real estate / pricing. He started his career at Oliver Wyman and FICO after graduating with a bachelor of science in finance fand real estate from Wharton Business School.

Real Estate Commissions for Buyer's Agents are now the responsibility of the home buyers. For many years, the standard has been that the listing agent would charge a percentage of the purchase price from the seller and split the commissions as a co-broker with the Buyer's agent. Now, post class action lawsuit settlements with the National Association of Realtors, several real estate firms and Multiple Listing Services nationwide; any commission that could potentially be offered by a home seller will no longer be advertised in the MLS. For years, the commission amounts offered by home sellers would be documented in the MLS. There was speculation that real estate agents were conducting alleged "steering" practices by refusing or "talking" homebuyers out of certain listings because of the commission amount. In this episode of the podcast, we provide commentary on what this will mean for homebuyers, home sellers, and real estate agents in the future. Will it mean that the buyer's agent will no longer be relevant? Will agent services change in the future? Will commissions be lower in the future?

Join us for this captivating episode of the Real Estate Talk Podcast where we dive deep into a discussion about the recent data surrounding the Personal Consumption Expenditures that rose to 2.7% in March from 2.5% in February. This indicates a strong economy where consumers are continuing to spend money. However, it should be noted that personal savings is down. This is likely due to rising inflation across the board where every day items are causing every day Americans to suffer and ultimately live pay check to pay check. The high PCE is a strong indicator that mortgage interest rates are likely to increase or remain unchanged throughout the summer. This is looking more contrary to the Federal Reserve's earlier prediction of seeing up to three interest rate decreases in 2024. Also in the news United Wholesale Mortgage (UHM) is accused of running an alleged "shell scheme" with UMortgage. The mortgage giant is accused of having its executives create an "independent" company that has sent UHM an estimated $1.9 billion in loans This follows a recent tirade by UHM and Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia where he was caught leaving a scathing voicemail to a colleague and leaving alleged homophobic remarks. Finally, we speak about President Joe Biden's proposal to increase the capital gains rate to 44.6%. If passed, this bill could send shockwaves across the real estate investment industry, which could possibly worsen the 7 million home shortage in the United States.

Dive into a discussion about real estate as we deliver the latest real estate news and headlines related to the housing market. Home seller sentiment is lukewarm heading into the spring buying market as rising interest rates continue to pummel home buyer affordability. Many homeowners have been patiently waiting for interest rates to go down so that they can sell their current home in order to upgrade or downsize into a new one. Despite the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinting at three possible interest rate cuts in 2024, many eager home buyers and sellers are unsure when or if the cuts will come. With inflation data suggesting that the Federal Reserve's target of 2% has not been met; there could be a longer period of time before we see interest rates go down to a more affordable level for homebuyers. Despite high interest rates on mortgages, inventory of homes remain disturbingly low. This has cause home values to inflate to a level that puts affordability out of reach for most home buyers. Also in the news, states like Florida and California continue to see problems with home insurance coverage. As many home insurance companies abandon providing coverage in these states, it is causing higher insurance premiums. Couple high insurance premiums, or lack there of, with rising mortgage rates, is providing a panacea of unaffordability. Perhaps a recession is looming, or a major market correction? But it's difficult with low inventory that keeps home prices high. In the long-term, there are a number of commercial real estate properties facing foreclosure and could be redeveloped into residential dwellings. But with builder confidence low, that remains to be seen.

As we approach the end of Quarter 1 of 2024, we take a look at current market trends surround the housing market. Federal Chairman Jerome Powell recently addressed congress March 7 indicating that there will be no change to high interest rates now until the economy reaches its inflationary target of 2%. However, Powell believes cuts are likely to happen at some point this year. Regardless of interest rates, there continues to be an over 7 million home shortage across the United States, which is causing housing prices to surge. Housing prices are directly effected by supply and demand. Great demand with lack of supply correlates to increased home prices. In addition, Arizona Regional MLS (ARMLS) and Metro MLS filed a motion to dismiss Zillow's antitrust lawsuit against them. Zillow alleges that the named MLS' were violating antitrust law by restricting access to Zillow's home showing management platform ShowingTime. Also up, the National Association of Realtors no longer have insurance money to cover regional Realtors associations in the event they suffer lawsuits related to the Sitzer/Burnett vs NAR lawsuit
