The modern real estate investor doesn’t have time to research every headline and trend. That’s why BiggerPockets' Dave Meyer and his expert panel do it for you....
Bond “Vigilantes” Hold Interest Rates Hostage as Rate Cut Hopes Shrink
Interest rates are up yet again, even after multiple Fed rate cuts in 2024. What’s happening, and how long can this last? Bond investors worry inflation is here to stay. This concern forces bond yields—and mortgage rates—to grow. Can Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve do anything to ease investors’ minds or do we have a long road of high rates ahead of us? We’re getting into it in this headlines show!
Don’t let rising rates stop you from building wealth; we have more stories that showcase an optimistic future outlook for real estate investors. From an incoming commercial real estate recovery that has been multiple years in the making to sellers finally submitting to the market and putting their homes up for sale, it’s not all bad news going into 2025.
One natural disaster-ravaged state finally puts its foot down and forces insurance companies to write policies in risky areas. Is this a much-needed government intervention, or will this shift the burden of high insurance costs onto investors and homeowners? We’re sharing our opinion in this episode!
In This Episode We Cover
The “bond vigilantes” that are keeping yields high and rates above seven percent
Why, even after multiple Fed rate cuts, interest rates continue to rise
The commercial real estate recovery and whether we’re at the bottom for this struggling asset class
Pricey home insurance premiums and the one state that’s forcing new policies to be written
Housing inventory updates and a sign that owners are finally ready to sell their low-rate homes
And So Much More!

What Happens When Rates Drop?
Are we finally at the end stages of this harsh housing market? With housing inventory increasing, mortgage rates steadily falling, and inflation cooling, we might be returning to a much healthier time to buy a house. But one of these improvements we’ve seen over the past year could begin reversing, and that’s creating some interesting future scenarios. One that even we’re surprised to hear as we bring on top housing market analyst Logan Mohtashami.
Logan has referred to 2022-2023’s housing market as “savagely unhealthy,” but he’s a bit more optimistic now that we’re seeing relief. While we’re still not at 2019 inventory levels (which were already low), we’re slowly getting there. However, we could see the positive inventory trend start to reverse, leading to even more affordability problems for homebuyers. So what has to happen for affordability to see meaningful improvement?
Today, Logan is giving us his take on housing inventory, where mortgage rates could be heading, and why we may NOT see a spike in home prices even if rates fall significantly (something most analysts are bullish on).
In This Episode We Cover
Logan’s housing market, mortgage rate, and inventory forecast
Why our increasing housing inventory could reverse once rates start to fall
The one thing holding affordability back and whether Logan has hopes of it improving
Why watching the labor market and jobs numbers will help you predict mortgage rates
Were we wrong about the “lower rates = higher home prices” premise?

4 Real Estate Investing Trends That Could Take Over in 2025 and Beyond
Which investing trends could make you wealthy in 2024? First, we had long-term rentals, then the BRRRR strategy, short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, syndications…the list goes on and on. And while trends come and go, acting on them at the right time could be your ticket to financial freedom. So, which trends are worth investing in this year, and which are dying out and should be avoided? We’re giving our takes on this episode.
Some of the trends in this episode are brand new—only with advanced technology have these investments even been made possible, but some are trends you may already be part of. From room rentals to very flexible commercial investments, Elon Musk’s new affordable housing, and a way to “build” your own one percent rule properties, these trends have gone mostly unnoticed but are sure to catch fire in the coming years.
But, some trends that exploded over the pandemic should be put to rest. These once cash-flowing investments reached their heyday in 2022 and 2023 and are slowly becoming lackluster (and often dangerous) investments for new investors. Which tactics are we talking about? Stick around to find out!
In This Episode We Cover
Future real estate investing trends that could offer BIG cash flow in 2024 and 2025
The flexible commercial real estate investment that online businesses rely on to survive
Kathy’s billion-dollar idea for a match-making app using this specific strategy
How to maximize your dollar per square foot by renting out PARTS of your property
The new smart homes that could finally solve the affordable housing problem
How to create the one percent rule (EVEN in 2024) by building your own rentals
Dying trends that are seeing low cash flow, high vacancies, and tough turnover
And So Much More!
