1292 - Guide to Industrial Real Estate Investing by Samantha Hawrylack Apr 28, 2024

Show notes

Real estate investments are available in many shapes and sizes, including industrial real estate investing. This is not the most common form of real estate investing, but it has a lot of potential when done right, and can be a great opportunity to diversify your investments.

Understanding Industrial Real Estate

Investing in industrial real estate involves purchasing, managing, and eventually selling properties. Like residential real estate investing, the goal is a great ROI, but you’ll cater to industrial tenants versus people looking for a place to live.Many renters looking for industrial space need distribution space, but not all do. The key is understanding the demographic where you plan to invest and their pain points.

1291 - You Can Buy a Property for $1 in Baltimore—Here’s How by Jeff Vasishta Apr 27, 2024

Show notes

HBO’s seminal series The Wire put Baltimore’s plight on the map, with crime and urban blight running amok. Now, 16 years after that show ended, it seems little has changed from the city it depicted. The situation has become so desperate that the city is selling off dilapidated buildings for f $1. However, before you dig out the loose change in your pocket to snag a townhouse, remember there are caveats.

There were almost 15,000 abandoned homes in Baltimore as of 2022, blighting the landscape, and Mayor Brandon Scott—as first reported in Bloomberg—is offering up 200 of them virtually free to encourage investors to help transform the beleaguered city. It echoes an initiative that helped change Baltimore in the 1970s.

1289 - Foreclosures Are Rising Quickly, and CRE Delinquencies Are Exploding—What’s Going On? By Jeff Vasishta Apr 25, 2024

Show notes

Home foreclosures are on the rise. Is this the start of a housing collapse and the buying bonanza for real estate investors touted for the last two years, or a mere blip?

Foreclosure rates have steadily risen since interest rates increased in conjunction with the home affordability crisis. According to Redfin, only 15.5% of U.S. home listings were accessible financially to U.S. households in 2023. This has led to an 8% increase in foreclosure filings, according to a new report by data company ATTOM.

1288 - Recession Predictions: Why They’re Often Wrong, and Why the Narrative Continues to Switch by Anna Cottrell Apr 24, 2024

Show notes

On any given day, depending on who you ask, we are either years away from the faintest possibility of a recession or about to enter one. Economists have made several dizzying U-turns in their predictions over the past couple of years, with the latest narrative claiming a recession is highly unlikely in 2024 and subsequent years.

That’s a stark change in tone from only a year ago. A poll of 70 economists by The Wall Street Journal in January 2023 put the odds of a recession at 61%.

Yet at least one independent economist, James F. Smith, dissented and put the odds of a recession at a minuscule 1%. We already know who was right in 2023, but what was the reasoning behind the confident 1% prognosis?

1287 - Why the Location Is the Most Important Investment Decision You Will Make by Eric Fernwood Apr 23, 2024

Show notes

The location (city) where you invest is your most important investment decision, not the properties themselves.

Why?

The goal of real estate investing is financial independence. But financial independence isn’t just replacing your current income. It’s about having the necessary funds to maintain your present lifestyle throughout your lifetime.
