Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

[PremSteve-ygde]

From my analysis, people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.

[NicholasBall]

I believe the retirement crisis will get even worse. Many struggle to save due to low wages, rising prices, and exorbitant rents. With homeownership becoming unattainable for middle-class Americans, they may not have a home to rely on for retirement either.

Asking a real estate agent whether you should buy a home right now is like to asking an alcoholic whether they think you should have a drink lol. Homes in my neighborhood that cost around $450k in sales in 2019 are now going for $800 to $950k. Every seller in my neighborhood is currently making a $350k profit. Simply unreal. In all honesty, deflation is what we require. The only other option is for many people to go bankrupt, which would also be bad for the economy. That is the only way to return to normal.

Putting well-earned money into the stock market can be over emphasized for first-time investors, unlike a bank where interest is sure thing! Well, basically times are uncertain, the market is out of control, and banks are gradually failing. I am working on a ballpark estimate of $5M for retirement, and I have a good 6-figure loaded up for this, could there be any opportunity for a boomer like me? I'm nearly 60.

The only American who won't acknowledge this Administration's failed economic policies is Joe Biden. "Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that?

*Appreciate your videos! I’m 54 and younger generations should know there’s no shortcut to acquiring wealth, but there are ways to go about it. Fellow millionaires don’t tell the poor/middle class they need the knowledge of finance coaches to help build their wealth. If anyone here needs a good coach, here’s it..*

Because so many people overpaid for homes even while loan rates were low, I believe there will be a housing catastrophe because these people are in debt. If housing costs continue to drop and, for whatever reason, they can no longer afford the property and it goes into foreclosure, they have no equity since, even if they try to sell, they will not make any money. I believe that many individuals will experience this, especially given the impending mass layoffs and rapidly rising living expenses.

[MickyGlover]

I foresee a recession lasting 2-3 years, and if inflation continues to surge, the Federal Reserve will likely raise interest rates soon. Inflation is causing various issues worldwide, such as food shortages, scarcities of diesel and heating fuel, and significant spikes in housing prices, leading to a potential financial market crash. This global downturn could have long-lasting repercussions. Given the current inflation rate of approximately 9%, my main worry is how to optimize my savings and retirement fund, which has remained stagnant at around $300, 000, yielding almost no gains for quite some time.

Surprised that you don't have more subscribers! Your channel shares a lot of very informative and educational videos. There are others out there with far more subscribers but are more like "sales" type channels that only benefit the producers.

[davidgardner]

Good luck finding cash flow in this interest rate environment. Prices have to come down significantly more!

[maggieliu]

Permit and start, can you differentiate rental and built to sell property?

[Mat-nlro]

Do you think that will apply to NYC at all? Or it won't be touched at all

[chi]

Thank you so much for your insight and education

Cash flow is king. 4 words that should live rent free in your mind if you want to strive financially in any market.

I'm bullish on real estate pockets in the Midwest.

I sold out 95% of my real estate holdings in the Northwest in '21-'22 and 10/31'd into the Midwest.

My Oregon properties I sold are up about 5% since '22....less than the rate of real inflation.

My Midwest properties are up about 35%. Part of the difference is the cold, long winters in the Midwest kept a lot of people from moving here. We haven't had a hard winter since 2018.

Another contributing factor is the high cost of real estate nationwide. The Midwest has historically been depressed relative to the rest of the country except rural southern markets.

When I transitioned from Oregon, like properties were 50 cents on the dollar in the Midwest.

The fact Midwest real estate prices were depressed for decades and the improvement in the weather, I don't see it being as volatile as Bend, Nashville, Austin or pretty much the entire state of Florida.

The state to really be cautious about is Idaho. Their prices seem a little ridiculous compared to similar locations.

Youtubers keep talking about "crash" and it did not materialize. In many cities (for example Bellevue, WA) people still paid over the listing price.

[monkeyfinger]

I really appreciate these videos Ken. But from where I am right now, owning even a small project seems like an impossible task.

[salo]

Your videos are amazing! Ken is the only real investor that speaks facts on youtube. If you want to think critically and find opportunities, listen to this guy.

As a 21 year vet in Real Estate here in FL. My opinion is to stay patient and 2025, 2026 houses and multi-family properties will be on sale. Inventory here on the Space Coast is at a 10 year high and nobody is taking about it! The deals are

I love owning Real Estate and managing my doors!
