The housing crash is always looming. If it wasn’t, how would media outlets push you to constantly stay informed, glued to the television, watching every new mortgage and inflation update? For years now, a housing market crash has been the talk of the town, with everyone from well-known news anchors to your “very informed” family members telling you that it’s only a matter of time until this house of cards comes crumbling down. But these “forecasts” aren’t as rock-solid as they may seem. This is just one of the stories we’ll touch on in this episode of “On the Market”, where we’re joined by our entire panel of expert guests! With the housing market in a standoff between buyers and sellers, our expert real estate investors are here to save the day, giving you the top stories that could impact your income. To start, Jamil talks about the “cancer” that’s affecting the Arizona housing market, Kathy touches on new landlord legislation, Henry hits on the US recession, and James debates the housing market doubters. But we’re not just talking about how investors are faring, we’re diving deep into a rarely-talked-about subject among investors—homelessness, housing affordability, and our impact on society. You’ll hear why investors are open to building affordable housing, but there’s one BIG hurdle standing in their way, stopping them from moving forward. We’ll also discuss whether or not landlords are the villain retail homebuyers portray them to be, and how we, as investors, can help more homebuyers reach their dreams of finally becoming owners themselves. 00:00 Intro 05:14 Are Landlords the Bad Guys? 23:07 Democrats Eye New Landlord Legislation 34:35 The Recession Has Arrived 45:06 A 20% Price Decline? 51:52 Final Thoughts ~~~~ Join BiggerPockets for FREE 👇 https://www.biggerpockets.com/signup?… ~~~~ Listen to The “On The Market” Podcast Wherever You Listen to Podcasts: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2NlzZ9N… Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast… BiggerPockets: https://www.biggerpockets.com/podcast… ~~~~ Join the Future of Real Estate Investing with Fundrise: https://www.fundrise.com/bpmarket ~~~~ Find an Investor-Friendly Agent in Your Area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/agent/m… ~~~~ Articles Mentioned in Today’s Show: Arizona: https://azbigmedia.com/real-estate/wh… Landlord Legislation: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politi… US Recession: https://thehill.com/policy/finance/ho… Crash Prediction: https://fortune.com/2022/12/07/housin… ~~~~ Why Rent Control Doesn’t Work: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/why-… ~~~~ Connect with Dave and Our Panel of Guests: Dave Meyer: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/d… Henry Washington: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/h… James Dainard: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/h… Jamil Damji: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/j… Kathy Fettke: https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/k… ~~~~ Follow Dave and Our Guests on Instagram: Dave: @thedatadeli or https://www.instagram.com/thedatadeli/ Henry: @thehenrywashington or https://www.instagram.com/thehenrywas… James: @jdainflips or https://www.instagram.com/jdainflips/ Jamil: @jdamji or https://www.instagram.com/jdamji/ Kathy: @kathyfettke or https://www.instagram.com/kathyfettke/ BiggerPockets: @biggerpockets or https://www.instagram.com/biggerpockets/ Episode 62 Show notes at: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on… #biggerpockets #onthemarket #onthemarket62
