935: BiggerNews: Investing with High Rates, Stubborn Inflation, & Low Supply w/Kathy Fettke

Mortgage rates are high, supply is low, and [inflation] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/glossary/inflation) just won’t go away. These market conditions make investing in real estate harder than ever…or so most investors think. The truth? This housing market isn’t all that different from years past, and if you know which moves to make, you can get ahead of all the other investors without them noticing. What do we mean? We’ve got a seasoned investor with over thirty years of rental property experience on the show, ready to share how buying during “high” rates can be a huge advantage. But that’s not all we’re getting into on this BiggerNews episode. We’ve got questions directly from BiggerPockets listeners that we’re throwing at expert investor Kathy Fettke to see what time-tested advice she’d give. First, a listener wants to know [why mortgage rates aren’t falling] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-915) and how to get into the real estate investing game during a time like this. Then, we discuss how investors can save themselves against inflation. With a spike in part-time work, could the American economy be showing signs of weakness? Finally, we answer the question everyone has on their minds: Is it the darn millennials’ fault for causing these high home prices? Want to ask a question for a future BiggerNews episode? Post your question in the [BiggerPockets forums] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/Forums) and get answers from a community of over 2,000,000 real estate investors!

934: How to Pay Less Taxes by Buying Real Estate (1 Write-Off You’re Overlooking) w/Brandon Hall

With so many [real estate tax write-offs] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-taxes-deductions) , it’s no wonder that CPA Brandon Hall says rental real estate is one of the most tax-advantaged assets on the planet. But, even with so much free-flowing information on how to pay less to Uncle Sam, most real estate investors are missing out on a MASSIVE tax deduction that could be saving them thousands, if not tens of thousands, on their tax bill. What’s the write-off that even our host, Dave Meyer, didn’t know about? Stick around, or walk away from a HUGE tax savings. [Brandon Hall] (https://www.therealestatecpa.com/) is a real estate investor-focused CPA. He knows the deductions, write-offs, and audit red flags that could be helping or hurting you. Today, he’s walking through whether or not you need a tax professional (a LOT of people DON’T), why you need to start tax planning BEFORE you buy your first property, the biggest real estate tax write-off that most people miss, and why you should WAIT to file your taxes to see if a MASSIVE real estate tax benefit is making a much-awaited comeback. Need a tax professional to help you make the right tax moves?

930: Agents React to NAR Lawsuit Commission Change

The [NAR lawsuit] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-201) changed the real estate industry overnight. Just like that, buyer’s agents were no longer getting their standard three percent commission, and many investors began imagining what buying and selling homes would be like without realtors. But is this massive NAR settlement as dramatic as the headlines are making it out to be? Is there really an agent exodus on the horizon, or is this just a way for the bad agents to exit the industry quickly? We brought on a panel of top [investor-friendly agents] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/agent/match) to find out. Joining us are four agents from across the nation: Avery Carl, Craig Curelop, Juliet Lalouel, and Mike Savegnago. All of these agents are affected by the recent NAR lawsuit settlement, but they don’t seem so shaken up. For many of these agents, this lawsuit simply thinned the competition, putting the expert agents back on top while showing the less-than agents the door. Plus, after the recent deals they’ve done, they’re not too concerned about a lack of buyer’s agent fees. Today, we’re asking each of them their thoughts on the changes to the NAR’s rules, how this will affect buying and selling homes, what this means for [real estate agent commissions] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/realtor-commission) , and what agents should do NOW to get ahead of the game. Plus, since our agent panel is all investors as well, they give some crucial advice on finding an agent in your area that will help you build your [real estate portfolio] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/building-scaling-real-estate-portfolio) even bigger. In This Episode We Cover: The NAR lawsuit explained and what it means for real estate agent commissions A “huge exit of agents” and how this could change the real estate industry forever What to do when a seller offers you or your buyer’s agent a zero-percent commission What real estate agents need to start doing NOW to ensure they still get paid The key signs of an investor-friendly agent that any landlord should be looking for Massive downsides of buying or [selling without an agent] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/should-you-sell-home-without-realtor) (it will cost you…) And So Much More!

928: 124 Units in 4 Years by Only Investing in Small Towns and Tiny Markets w/Dylan Osmon

In just four years, Dylan Osmon went from having no job, barely any money, and no [real estate investing] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/guides/ultimate-real-estate-investing-guide) experience to owning over one hundred rental units. How’d he do it so quickly? Before we answer that, we’re going to make this a little more impressive. Dylan isn’t buying in the big cities with tons of inventory going on the market every week—he’s been buying in tiny towns that you and almost everyone else listening to this have never heard of. And he may have struck gold by doing so. Dylan acquired his [first investment property] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-703) right before the lockdowns. Then, after closing, he quickly realized that this was the worst rental property he could have bought. It had everything—low rents, tenants who never paid, and, to top it off, a cesspool of human waste in the crawlspace—everything you need for a deal gone wrong. He quickly got control of this nightmare rental, flipping it and walking away unscathed. But now, he had to start back from square one, this time with new knowledge. Over the next few years, Dylan made it his mission to build multiple income streams, so every dollar he made went into new deals. He eventually met partners that would help him scale even quicker and learned the secret to [finding the best off-market properties] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/off-market-properties) —don’t worry, he shares it in this episode! Now, he’s got over one hundred rentals across three small markets, and if you copy his strategy, you could too! In This Episode We Cover: Why you CANNOT overlook small markets when investing in real estate The #1 best way to find off-market real estate deals in any area How much [emergency reserves] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/emergency-fund) you should have on hand at ALL times [Investing in real estate with no money] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/buy-real-estate-investment-no-money) by finding the deal FIRST Scaling your real estate business faster so you don’t have to do so much of the work The risk of having only a W2 salary and just one income stream And So Much More!

925: BiggerNews: Housing Inventory Up 24%, Are We Returning to “Normal”? w/Mike Simonsen

Housing inventory has shot up over twenty percent year-over-year. So, are our low inventory struggles finally behind us? During the low interest rate days, housing inventory couldn’t keep up with demand. Within days of posting a listing, properties had already gone under contract, and buyers could no longer bid. But now, with higher [interest rates] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/investors-stop-worrying-about-rates-in-2024) , we’re finally starting to see a return to “normal,” but a rate cut could take us back to scarce inventory in an instant. So, is now the time to buy? [Mike Simonsen] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-98) from [Altos Research] (https://altosresearch.com/) joins us on this BiggerNews episode to give an update on housing inventory. Mike’s team tracks every home for sale in the country every single week and has been doing so for almost two decades. Today, he gives us the most recent data on homes for sale, why inventory is rising, the states that are seeing the most inventory hit the market, and whether or not we can expect to return to pre-pandemic inventory levels. Plus, for those debating waiting it out for lower [mortgage rates] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/real-estate-915) , Mike shares exactly how rates will affect housing inventory and why waiting could throw you back into the [bidding wars] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/win-bidding-war) once rates drop again. Mike even discusses the data behind [price cuts] (https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/housing-markets-with-declining-prices-march-2024) and when you can expect sellers to start accepting lower bids.  In This Episode We Cover: A housing inventory update and why more inventory is finally starting to hit the market What happens to housing inventory if interest rates fall or rise Florida, Texas, and other southern states that are seeing a surge in housing inventory  Why most investors are wrong about price cuts What must happen if we’re to see inventory rise back to pre-pandemic levels The one thing buyers and sellers should know if they’re waiting for rates to fall  And So Much More!

Feeling scared to do your first or next real estate deal? Even if everything goes wrong, you may still be in a better position than Ayesha and Kevan Shelton were just a few years ago. After quitting their jobs to become full-time real estate investors, Ayesha and Kevan found themselves staring at a $300,000 loss.

In today’s incredible investor story, you’ll hear about how this power couple pivoted to turn their business around and began investing in new build construction projects.
