1123 - The Housing Market Has Outperformed My Expectations—Here’s My Mid-Year Housing Recap and Predictions by Dave Meyer Nov 11, 2023

Show notes

As we pass the midpoint of 2023, it’s a good time to take a look at what’s happened in the housing market so far this year and consider what could happen in the second half of the year.

The big headline from housing so far has been the resilience of home prices. Even as mortgage rates have hung around 7% and sales volume has dropped about 50% from June 2021 to June 2023, prices are somewhere between flat and -3% YoY, depending on who you ask.

No matter what data you look at, so far, the calls of a market crash have been incorrect. In fact, recent trends suggest home prices could even be up by year-end.

1122 - Short-Term Rental Loans: What Are the Options and How Do DSCR Loans Stack Up? by Robin Simon Nov 10, 2023

Show notes

Short-term rentals continue to be one of the hottest areas of real estate investing in 2023. Despite some market volatility, slow down, and saturation in some areas, smart, professional short-term rental investors continue to thrive, expand, and scale.

What separates the successful STR investors from those facing a personal portfolio “Airbnbust”? It’s simple: Investors who succeed with short-term rentals are those who approach the business professionally—lining up all the moving pieces for success in STR real estate.

Typically, this means approaching it like a business—utilizing a pricing engine; hiring top-notch management or implementing cutting-edge automated systems; developing relationships with the right agents, cleaners, handymen, and accountants; and often, the most important piece: mastering the financing. Getting each of these dialed is often the key to success and scale, freeing investors up to focus on the highest-value activity: finding and closing deals.
