Personal Wealth: What Are People Planning to Do with All that Stimulus Money? Mar 27, 2021

Show notes

Individuals across the U.S. are getting a new round of stimulus checks worth more than $410 Billion. This is the third time the government has handed out money because of the pandemic. While many people are still suffering financially, the economy is also recovering, and that's raising a lot of questions about whether people should save, spend, or invest their checks.

So what should individuals do with their stimulus checks? I thought I'd cover some of the ideas and recommendations I've been seeing in the news, and what many people say they are planning to do with their checks.

Real Estate: Fannie Mae Loans Will Be Tougher to Get for Investors Mar 20, 2021

Show notes

New risk reduction policies at Fannie Mae could make it harder to get loans for single-family second homes and investment properties. The GSE sent letters to lenders saying it will impose a new 7% limit on the acceptance of those kinds of loans. Fannie is currently accepting a higher percentage. So what does that mean for investors?

Property Management: Watchdog Group Sues for Section 8 Discrimination Mar 18, 2021

Show notes

Dozens of New York City landlords are being accused of discriminating against people with housing vouchers. A housing rights watchdog group filed a federal lawsuit against 88 brokers and landlords after an undercover operation that involved recorded phone calls.

The state of New York made it illegal to discriminate against tenants based on their source of income in 2019. That includes people who use Section 8 vouchers to pay their rent as well as other forms of assistance like child support, alimony, foster care subsidies, and veterans benefits. There are a few exceptions that include rentals in one- or two-family homes but only if they are occupied by the owner.

The Real Estate News Brief: $2.9T Rescue Plan, iBuyer Rebound, Zillow Hiring Spree Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending March 13th, 2021… a $1.9 Trillion economic rescue, iBuyer 2021 rebound, and a Zillow hiring spree.

We begin with economic news from this past week, and the approval of a $1.9 Trillion COVID-19 relief package. The National Association of Realtors is applauding the high-dollar stimulus plan because there are several provisions that will help the housing market, including another $21.55 billion in rental assistance. Landlords who are owed back rent will benefit from those funds, and the previous $25 billion approved in December. $1,400 stimulus checks for individuals will also help the back rent situation. There's also money to help homeowners struggling to pay mortgages, as well as small businesses, schools, and local governments that are low on cash.

Rental Market: What Tenants Want Most for City Living Mar 15, 2021

Show notes

The pandemic has increased renter preferences for certain amenities, and one New York City website has come up with an interesting list of "must haves." It's a top 10 list that was compiled from search results in December and January by apartment listing website StreetEasy.

People have been spending more time at home since the start of the pandemic, and that's changed a lot of priorities about our home space. Although there are many preferences on this list that are geared toward apartment buildings, several apply to any kind of rental situation.

Show notes

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending March 6th, 2021… new concerns about inflation, signs of a job market rebound, and gender bias in the mortgage market.

Housing Market: Lower Agent Fees Will Save $$$ for Sellers, Buyers Mar 06, 2021

Show notes

Selling a home is about to get cheaper as the result of an antitrust lawsuit. Because of a settlement between the National Association of Realtors and the Department of Justice, the fees that sellers pay to buyers will be publicly displayed on listing pages. Redfin is already doing it in many markets, and other real estate websites are expected to follow suit in the coming months. That kind of transparency typically results in more competition and lower rates.

Real Estate: Texas Judge Rules the CDC Nationwide Eviction Ban Unconstitutional Mar 06, 2021

Show notes

A Texas judge has ruled the CDC's nationwide eviction moratorium is unconstitutional. It's been in effect since last spring because of the pandemic, and has put some landlords in a tough spot because they can't afford to support tenants who aren't paying rent. The ruling stopped short of an injunction, and it's now being appealed by the Department of Justice.
