Show notes

When you buy a rental property, you do so with one goal in mind: to generate a positive return on investment (ROI).

A good ROI on rental property typically ranges from 6% to 10%, although this can vary with location, property type, and market conditions. In some areas, ROIs over 12% are possible, while in expensive urban locations, a 4% to 6% ROI may still be favorable.

1190 - Housing Confidence Has Bottomed Out—But Experts Say There’s Light at the End of the Tunnel? By Anna Cottrell Jan 17, 2024

Show notes

For all the recent talk about a possible interest rate easing in 2024 and the low likelihood of a severe recession, people are still feeling pessimistic. The Fannie Mae Home Purchase Sentiment Index for November is out, and it paints a general picture of low confidence among both homebuyers and home sellers.

As interest rates began to climb in 2022, consumer confidence in the housing market began to plummet, reaching their lowest levels by late 2022. Confidence stabilized somewhat in 2023 but quickly reached what Fannie Mae is calling a ‘‘low-level plateau.’’

1189 - 10 Financial Myths That Even the Rich Get Wrong by G. Brian Davis Jan 16, 2024

Show notes

We all occasionally fall victim to fallacies—assumptions or beliefs that just aren’t true.

Consider a deceptively simple logic puzzle known as the Monty Hall problem: You’re presented with three doors, behind one of which is a prize, and you have to guess the door. Before revealing the answer, the game show host makes your life easier by eliminating one of the wrong answers and asks you if you want to change your guess. Should you change it?

Most people shrug and say, “At that point, it’s 50/50, so I’d just keep my guess the same.” This is the wrong answer: You should switch your guess because the other door has two-thirds odds of being correct.

1187 - With Mortgage Rates Set To Drop, Will This Be the Year Sellers Come Back? Here’s What the Data Says by Lindsay Frankel Jan 14, 2024

Show notes

Most homeowners bought their homes at mortgage rates that were lower than today’s, and that’s caused what’s known as the “lock-in effect.” Homeowners are hesitant to give up their cheap mortgages, which is suppressing available inventory. Low inventory has kept home prices from falling significantly, even as homebuyer demand fell due to rate hikes.

With mortgage rates down more than one percentage point since their peak in October, the housing market is starting to show signs of rebounding demand. But at what point will the lock-in effect break? And what will happen to housing prices if it does?

1186 - Why Low-Cost Properties are Actually More Expensive by Eric Fernwood Jan 13, 2024

Show notes

Low-cost properties are appealing because you can acquire and generate income with less initial capital. However, they are actually the most expensive way to achieve and maintain financial freedom. Here’s why.

What Determines Prices and Rents?

Real estate prices and rents are driven by supply and demand. When the number of sellers equals or exceeds the number of buyers consistently, property prices remain low. If prices do increase, the rise will be gradual. Furthermore, when prices are low, more people can afford to buy, leading to fewer renters. This results in stagnant or slowly increasing rents.
