U.S. Economy: PPP Money Grab Could Turn into SBA Audits Jul 11, 2020

Show notes

Businesses large and small lined up for the government's Paycheck Protection Program, and now many of them may be lining up for an audit. The program was designed to help companies that were hurt by the coronavirus with loans that are forgivable if employees are kept on the payroll. But loans were approved quickly, without a lot of documentation, and now many businesses may have to prove that they truly meet the loan criteria, or give the money back. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Property Management: Rent Collection Update, June/July Jul 10, 2020

Show notes

Two national reports on rent collection show that most tenants are meeting their rent obligations, although the results are slightly lower than last month. Eviction moratoriums are also being lifted in some markets, making it possible for landlords to address a difficult financial situation with an eviction, if needed. The National Multi-Housing Council keeps track of rent collection for apartments. In the Council's rent collection report for July, it says that 77.4 percent of renters made a full or partial rent payment by July 6th. Property managers usually give renters five days to pay their rent, so they can report "on time" payments by the 6th. www.NewsForInvestors.com

U.S. Economy: June Jobs Report Reality Check Jul 09, 2020

Show notes

The latest jobs report shows a stunning 4.8 million jobs were added back into the economy in June. That's on top of 2.5 million jobs that were added in May. Both represent the two biggest monthly gains in U.S. history. Although they "shattered expectations" as the White House wrote in a headline, there's more to know about the status of the current job market. The COVID-19 pandemic that shut down our economy put 22.2 million people out of work during the first two months of the crisis. The addition of 8.3 million jobs in the last two months is an impressive turnaround, but it still leaves millions of formerly employed people without a job. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Real Estate News Brief: A Boom in Pending Home Sales, a Dip in the Jobless Rate, and a New FICO Score Jul 04, 2020

Show notes

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending the Fourth of July 2020... market optimism after a report on pending home sales, good news about jobs, and a new FICO score that could help borrowers with below-average scores. We begin with economic news from this past week, and a report on pending home sales that sent the stock market soaring. They were up a record 44.3% from April to May, according to the National Association of Realtors. That's the largest monthly increase ever. It also followed two months of serious declines, but is evidence of what some economists say will be a "V"-shaped recovery for the housing market. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Gold Fraud: $2.2 Billion in Fake Gold out of Wuhan, China Jul 04, 2020

Show notes

If you have gold in your financial portfolio, beware of any holdings connected to Kingold Jewelry. It's now at the center of a massive gold fraud scandal. And what adds another layer of intrigue is the company's location, in Wuhan, China, which is the epicenter of the current pandemic. The gold scandal is not connected to the pandemic, but is it creating new shockwaves connected to China. According to a report by Zero Hedge, 83 tons of fake gold were used to secure loans and insurance policies for Kingold. The gold is supposed to be worth 16 billion yuan or about 2.2 billion dollars but it was discovered that the gold bars were just gold-plated copper. It's believed to be the biggest gold counterfeiting scandal in recent history. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Real Estate: Business Deals Without Handshakes Jul 02, 2020

Show notes

The pandemic is giving many of us "shakephobia." Shaking hands is a common way to express good will and is often used during the closing of a business deal. It's also a great way to spread germs, and maybe not a wise thing to do as the coronavirus spreads. I thought I'd dedicate this podcast to ways you can avoid a handshake without offending the person you are greeting. The handshake has been around for a long time. The message a handshake delivers is one of trust, respect, equality, and, in business, agreement. www.NewsForInvestors.com

U.S. Economy: Real Estate Headed for "V-Shaped" Recovery! Jul 01, 2020

Show notes

It's headline news for residential real estate. The National Association of Realtors is reporting a mammoth 44.3% increase in pending home sales for the month of May. That's after a decline during the previous two months when the pandemic was at its peak. Economists see this as a sign of a "V-shaped" recovery that could help lead the economy out of the current recession. The market for existing homes was pretty much at a standstill for two months. Sellers didn't want to list their homes out of fear of the selling process -- that buyers touring homes would bring germs. Stay-at-home orders also kept the number of buyers to a minimum, especially those who wanted to see a home in person before they signed on the dotted line. www.NewsForInvestors.com

Real Estate News Brief: New Home Sales Surge, Investor Optimism, Fast Internet Jun 30, 2020

They were up a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 16.6%. In May of last year, they were up 12.7%. The Northeast experienced the biggest increase. Sales were up 45.5% in that region.

Housing Trends: Houston MLS Removes "Master" from Listings Jun 26, 2020

Show notes

Efforts to eliminate signs of racism have swept across the country. From the toppling of confederate statues to the retiring of the Aunt Jemima image by Quaker Oats, individuals and businesses are getting rid of racist symbols. The word "master" is something that's used in the real estate world to describe the main bedroom in a house. In one city, realtors have decided to replace that word on the MLS because it "can" invoke thoughts of slavery. The Houston Association of Realtors stopped using the words "master bedroom" and "master bathroom" on June 15th. Instead, the association is describing those rooms as "primary bedroom" and "primary bathroom."

Housing Market: Buyers Clamoring for Single-Family Homes Jun 26, 2020

Show notes

If you're in the market for a single-family home, chances are you'll have competition this summer. Searches for single-family homes have surged as many more people clamor after the privacy of a home with a yard in the midst of this pandemic. A Redfin report says interest in single-family homes hit a four-year high last month. Tampa is at the top of the list for an increase in single-family web searches, probably due to things like Florida's great weather, low home prices, low taxes, and a friendly business environment. www.NewsForInvestors.com
