Show notes

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending August 26th, 2023… tough talk on inflation from the Fed Chief, when and why we might see a surge in home prices, and what Texas is doing to manage a booming economy north of Dallas. We begin with economic news from this past week and comments from Fed Chief Jerome Powell. He delivered the keynote address at the Kansas City Fed's annual retreat in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. He reiterated previous sentiments about making progress on inflation, but says it's still too high and the central bank plans to "keep at it until the job is done." He said: "We are prepared to raise rates further if appropriate, and intend to hold policy at a restrictive level until we are confident that inflation is moving sustainably down toward our objective" – which is 2%... ...The North Texas area is becoming a global technology hub as semiconductor companies move into the area. That's creating tens of thousands of jobs, and with all those jobs, a surge in housing demand. We are capitalizing on this opportunity at RealWealth with a North Dallas Rental Fund for accredited investors. You can find out more about this fund at growdevelopments.com. That's it for today.

Can You Get Paid to Build an ADU in Your Backyard? Aug 26, 2023

Show notes

Building a small rental unit on your property is a great way to create passive income, but housing experts say that accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, can also help solve the nation's housing crisis. And there are a growing number of states that are allowing them. Plus, three states are actually paying people to build them! California was the first to legalize ADUs back in 1982 The law allowed homeowners to build a second unit but local governments hampered the effort with restrictions. Some municipalities charged hefty "impact fees" or imposed complicated and expensive permitting requirements. There may have also been restrictions on renting the units if the owner didn't live on the property and problems qualifying for a loan to build an ADU... If you live in a place that allows ADU's, It's now time to check your yard for space to build an ADU that can bring you some passive income!

Wildfire Creates New Housing Crisis in Maui Aug 19, 2023

Show notes

In addition to the tragic loss of lives in the Maui wildfire, residents and insurance companies are assessing property losses which are currently coming in at about $3.2 billion. But it won't just be Maui residents paying for this fire. Insurance companies will be raising rates for everyone to help cover their losses. As reported by Barron's, insurance companies won't have any problem paying claims for fire losses in Maui. The U.S. property and casualty industry is well-capitalized with about $980 billion at the end of last year. That's according to the Insurance Information Institute. The Institute's Janet Ruiz told Barron's: "The Hawaii insurance market is stable. Insurance companies are prepared to handle catastrophes." But analysts and industry experts say insurance companies are already raising rates as natural disasters cause more and more damage across the U.S. and the Maui wildfire will only reinforce this trend. Insurance companies will raise rates based on what they expect to pay out in the next few years... If you've missed some of our episodes, you can catch up at https://www.newsforinvestors.com.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending August 12th, 2023... you'll hear what Fed officials are forecasting for housing inflation, why a New York judge tossed an Airbnb lawsuit, and the top ten cities for build-to-rent single-family homes. We begin with economic news from this past week that features two reports on inflation. The Labor Department reported that the Consumer Price Index was slightly higher in July than it was in June, although the reported figure for both months was .2%. The slight increase was enough to bring the yearly rate up a tiny bit, from 3% to 3.2%, but as MarketWatch reports, the fluctuation may not be enough to worry the Fed. The core rate, which eliminates prices for food and fuel, was also up .2% with an annual rate that was down slightly from 4.8% to 4.7%...

The Federal government announced a plan to make it easier for builders to get new housing on the market. It's part of the Biden administration's Housing Supply Action Plan. This program, announced on July 27th, would reduce land use and zoning restrictions, increase financing for affordable energy efficient housing, and promote the conversion of under-used commercial space into homes. Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review. The housing crisis is the result of an oversized demand for housing, a limited supply of affordable homes, and a whole lot of rules and regulations that make it difficult to build more homes.
