119: Why AI Is About to Make Real Estate Investing EVEN Easier
Artificial intelligence (AI) like ChatGPT might not be great at writing podcast intros, but when it comes to building a rental property or real estate portfolio, these platforms produce far more help than harm. While most of the general public uses AI to write poems about their dog or history papers for class, real estate investors are harnessing this technological power to buy more properties, outsource simple tasks, and reach sellers faster than ever. Want to do the same? You’ll have to stick around!For years, our panel of real estate experts have been using AI, automated apps, and software to grow their portfolios to new heights. And, even if you don’t own thousands of rentals or do hundreds of fix and flips a year (like James), you too can use this real estate tech to make your life easier, spend less time working, and focus more on what your business needs from YOU.In this episode, Dave, James, Jamil, and Kathy will go over exactly how they’re using AI platforms such as ChatGPT, the systems and software they’ve implemented into their own businesses, whether or not more automation could threaten jobs, and how you, even as a small investor, can leverage the same tech top investors use to build wealth faster!In This Episode We CoverWhy ChatGPT may be good at everything but writing podcast introsUsing AI platforms to create job descriptions, outreach to sellers, and take menial tasks off your plateWhether or not AI has the potential to kill jobs in the real estate sectorThe “job evolution” that is waiting for those who can embrace new technologyThe EXACT software, systems, and apps we’re using to grow our real estate portfoliosAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an AgentFind a LenderBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets AgentBiggerPockets BootcampsJoin BiggerPockets for FREEOn The MarketJoin the Future of Real Estate Investing with FundriseConnect with Other Investors in the “On The Market” ForumsSubscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramHenry's BiggerPockets ProfileHenry's InstagramJames' BiggerPockets ProfileJames' InstagramJamil's BiggerPockets ProfileJamil's InstagramKathy's BiggerPockets ProfileKathy's InstagramBasecampChatGPTFollow Up BossInfusionsoft (Keap)Monday.comNinety.ioSalesforceCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-119Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

118: The Next “Wave” of Foreclosures and Markets With the Deepest Discounts w/Auction.com’s Daren Blomquist
The next foreclosure wave is already brewing. Over the past few years, monetary moves and rash home buying decisions were made that could cause even more foreclosures to hit the market. The question is, which markets will face the most foreclosures, and how low will prices go? But that’s not all; foreclosure competition has started to spike as a new type of buyer enters the market for these deeply discounted properties.And if you want to know about foreclosures, discounted properties, and data on the markets with the biggest price cuts, Daren Blomquist from Auction.com is your man. As VP of Market Economics, Daren knows where the foreclosure market is moving before the masses do. In this episode, he gives his take on the next “wave” of foreclosures that could be headed our way, when it will hit, and the investing areas already feeling the effects.Daren also talks about the unexpected buyers entering the foreclosure market and how they could put investors at the back of the line for discounted deals. And if you’re in this specific state, prepare for your properties to be placed at open auction, as investors are forced to wait to acquire the foreclosure properties they rightfully won. Make no mistake; there are MANY deals out there for investors, but competition could start to heat up fast! In This Episode We CoverThe “seeds of a bigger foreclosure wave” that are about to sproutBuyers bounce back and why the housing market and home prices have been so resilientA rise in foreclosures and what’s causing a steady uptick in homeowners forfeiting their housesNew foreclosure laws that could make it even harder for investors to buy discounted propertiesMarkets facing the deepest foreclosure price cutsRecession predictions and whether or not this will force even more foreclosuresAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an AgentFind a LenderBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets AgentBiggerPockets BootcampsJoin BiggerPockets for FREEOn The MarketJoin the Future of Real Estate Investing with FundriseConnect with Other Investors in the “On The Market” ForumsSubscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramHenry's BiggerPockets ProfileHenry's InstagramThe Biggest Real Estate Tax Loophole You’ve (Probably) Never Heard OfHow Much Investment Diversification Is Right for You?Hear Our Previous Interview with DarenConnect with Daren:Auction.com NewsDaren's LinkedInDaren's TwitterCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-118Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

113: ‘08 Crash Predictor Ivy Zelman on The Biggest Danger Facing Real Estate Today
The housing market is stuck. Stubborn homeowners with low rates refuse to move, even as demand starts to pick back up. Homebuilders are driving ahead with more new construction homes, but is it too late to deliver the supply we so desperately needed only a year or two ago? Where is the housing market moving next, and how long will we be stuck in this standoff? Ivy Zelman from Zelman & Associates successfully predicted the last housing crash, so what does she have to say about today’s market?Ivy is a thought leader in the real estate research space.

Constantly on the phone with institutional buyers and builders, Ivy tends to know what’s happening before even the top forecasters.

112: Home Sales Forecast and Returning to a 1990s Housing Market w/Mark Fleming
Home sales have been falling fast since interest rates rose last year. After a spree of house shopping and record-low mortgage rates, homeowners sit comfortably in 2023. They’ve got affordable monthly payments, a home that is (probably) bigger or better than their last one, and expect a potential recession sometime soon. So why would today’s homeowners give up all that security to buy in a hazardous market? Mark Fleming from First American has been trying to uncover the answer.Mark serves as Chief Economist for First American, one of the United State’s leading title companies. Mark’s job is to predict and forecast the housing market, home sales, and buyer activity. And in 2023’s topsy-turvy economy, this is becoming a little more difficult. Mark has built a model to help predict home sales, looking at key factors like household formation, affordability, current mortgage rates, demographics, and more. And he’s got some interesting findings to share.The days of low interest rates and property upgrading may be over. Homeowners are now staying in their houses for twice as long, holding off on buying their next home until favorable conditions arise. But, this creates a “prisoner’s dilemma” for home sellers and buyers. With most of the United State’s potential property inventory sitting in the hands of those who refuse to sell, we’re answering, “What happens next?” in this episode.In This Episode We CoverHome sales predictions and what happens when there is NO available inventory Loose monetary policy and how low interest rates caused an affordability spike Two critical factors that drive the market to soar or slump Home turnover and why today’s homeowner is “locked-in” and refusing to moveThe “prisoner’s dilemma” that’s caused the housing market to stagnate A return to the “new normal” and what future homebuying could look like And So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an AgentFind a LenderBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets AgentBiggerPockets BootcampsJoin BiggerPockets for FREEOn The MarketJoin the Future of Real Estate Investing with FundriseConnect with Other Investors in the “On The Market” ForumsSubscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramInventory Shortage Could Continue As Interest Rates Rise and Homeowners Feel “Locked-In”Connect with Mark:First AmericanREconomy PodcastCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-112Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

111: The Recession-Proof, Low-Risk Way to Invest in Real Estate
Everyone wants to know how to get rich in a recession. The problem? With many asset prices plummeting and a bipolar real estate market, parking cash in any asset could be considered a risk. But, a particular sect of real estate still makes money even if the housing market starts to crash and home prices freefall. This is one of the lowest-risk ways to start investing, especially during a recession, and it made our expert guests, James Dainard and Jamil Damji, very wealthy.James and Jamil have been using this strategy since the early 2000s. When home prices started plummeting in 2008, buying rentals became risky, and fix and flips got decimated. Thankfully, this often misunderstood type of “investing” allowed them to capitalize on the price action, picking up deals that would make great buys and passing them along to buyers who could hold their own during the crash. This same strategy still makes them millions of dollars today, and you can start using it!In Jamil’s newest book, How to Wholesale Real Estate, you’ll learn how to build a scalable wholesale business without much cash, experience, or contacts. This is one of the BEST ways for new investors to get started and is a phenomenal source of supplemental income for investors and flippers who have too many deals on their desks. Think it’s too late to make money in an economy like this? Think again!In This Episode We CoverJamil’s newest book, How to Wholesale Real Estate, and using it to get your first deal doneWholesaling explained and why “trading” real estate may be better than investing in itRecession-proof real estate investing and why wholesaling is one of the lowest-risk ways to start making money in real estateMillion-dollar relationships and the people you MUST have in your circle to be successfulFinding buyers and why investors don’t disappear even when home prices start to fallThe housing markets that are on FIRE for wholesalers (and which are showing HUGE opportunity) And So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an AgentFind a LenderBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets AgentBiggerPockets BootcampsJoin BiggerPockets for FREEOn The MarketJoin the Future of Real Estate Investing with FundriseConnect with Other Investors in the “On The Market” ForumsSubscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramJames' BiggerPockets ProfileJames' InstagramJamil's BiggerPockets ProfileJamil's InstagramBook Mentioned in the Show:How to Wholesale Real Estate by Jamil Damji (use code “WHOLESALE110” to get 10% off)Check the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-111Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

110: Bullish Homebuilders, Affordable Housing, and Why Home Prices WON'T Move w/John Burns
The housing market REFUSES to slow down. Last year, homebuilders had a bleak outlook for 2023 home buying, but now, not even halfway through the year, they’ve reversed their sentiment with high hopes that demand stays red hot. How is this even happening? With mortgage rates higher than they’ve been in years and barely any inventory on the market, wouldn’t buyers take the hint and let their foot off the gas? We brought back John Burns from John Burns Research and Consulting to give us some answers.John’s team has some of the freshest housing market data available. With over 1,000 research contracts a year, they’re constantly talking to homebuilders, buyers, flippers, and everyone in the home-buying process. John touches on household formation and why millennials are saying “no” to roommates, even as prices rise. He’ll also talk about where Americans are moving, what’s causing construction costs to come down (but also grow?), and why the Fed is failing to kill the housing market.Also, if you want to give a hand to the generation helping young buyers the most, it seems that baby boomers are having an unexpectedly significant role in propping up the economy. We’ll also get into new affordable housing projects that could bring more starter homes on the market. Want to know John’s thoughts on what could happen in the housing market over the coming months? Stick around!In This Episode We CoverWhy high mortgage rates HAVEN’T killed the housing market yet American migration and which states are starting to see stagnating populations Multifamily rent updates and why tenants may have the upper handNew builds, cheaper material costs, and why your next home may be a new construction INSANE debt-to-equity stats that highlight why homeowners refuse to sell New affordable housing projects that could give homebuyers better options And So Much More!Links from the ShowFind an AgentFind a LenderBiggerPockets ForumsBiggerPockets AgentBiggerPockets BootcampsJoin BiggerPockets for FREEOn The MarketJoin the Future of Real Estate Investing with FundriseConnect with Other Investors in the “On The Market” ForumsSubscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelDave's BiggerPockets ProfileDave's InstagramJames' BiggerPockets ProfileJames' InstagramOn the Market 31 with JohnConnect with John:John's Company LinkedInJohn's TwitterJohn's WebsiteCheck the full show notes here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/on-the-market-110Interested in learning more about today’s sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?
