fear a housing crash due to people buying homes above asking prices with little equity. If prices drop, affordability and potential foreclosures may arise, worsened by future layoffs and rising living costs. I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk.
Consider reallocating from real estate to other reliable investments like stock, crypto or precious metals . Severe recessions offer market buying opportunities with caution, as volatility can yield short-term trading prospects. Not financial advice, but it may be wise to invest, as cash isn't ideal in this period.
Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’ Melissa Terri Swayne” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I just looked her up on the internet and found her webpage with her credentials. I wrote her a outlining my financial objectives and planned a call with her.
A house isn't the best investment, considering the state of the economy right now. After selling my Boca Grande house, I want to put $200K into stocks because they can still increase in value during difficult times. Do you have any great ideas for stocks?
The truth is that if you make the right picks, you could make killer riches very quickly, although such profit usually needs expertise, as in hedge funds or financial managers. I personally prefer the latter.
Working with a financial advisor has been a game-changer for me. They provided invaluable insights and tailored strategies that aligned perfectly with my risk tolerance and financial objectives. With their support, I've seen significant growth in my investments and gained confidence in my financial future.
I'm in the a/c business and a lot of customers I deal with don't have the money to replace their old equipment when it breaks down and should be replaced. I hear 'please do whatever you can to get it running '. I also see in six month's a new flammable freon, R32, which is propane based, has been mandated by our corrupt government. The price of this new equipment will be around 30% higher. This is absolutely devastating news to me in several ways.
Contractors in Australia have been quitting over this hazard (hazardous to install, safety issues if it leaks into the house, etc.), and Europe is supposedly trying to find an alternative. My central a/c in Tennessee broke during the pandemic and I purchased three portables that vent out the window. They use more electricity IF I have all three running and don't cool completely, but I use three until I get too hot and then I go into the smallest room and just leave one on. When I retire next decade hopefully this all gets sorted out and then when I'm home again all the time, I will get a central unit.
On my daily walk in southern California in a supposed middle class area I don't hear many air conditioners running. It tells me the obvious, that people are struggling financially. It's not a good sign.
@@malcolmlove4602 No. The coolant changed in 2010 and operates at a different pressure and could not be converted and the old coolant was phased out so it was exhorbitantly expensive to add coolant and in some states against the law if it was leaking. The replacement R-410A was better for the ozone layer, but much worse for climate change, so in 2020 (delayed because of the pandemic) this new one is being mandated in 2025, but Australia and Europe aren't happy about it so who knows how long THIS will be in vogue. People don't have the money to keep replacing entire systems every time governments of the world make changes! So it changed in 2010 and again in 2020 so for people who replaced say in 2014, and let's say the system needed to be charged (refilled) six years later, if it wasn't for the pandemic delaying things, they would have had to replace their whole system again just six years old.
I’m here in ATL and the homeless situation in the city and metro area is so bad and the democrat politicians and residents here just act like everything is perfectly normal. It’s disgusting.
Who has $50-$60k to put down on a home where your payments are still $1500-$2000 a month? Making $40k a year. Building small doesn't get you a home either. As they often cost as much if not more than a large house. As even tiny homes are being bought up by wealthy driving up cost...
@@mohhingman people make bank in California. It’s wild. Cheapest houses in my city are like 550-600k and they are in horrible neighborhoods and are run down messes.
Buying is great if you find a great deal in great location. It's not really a "profit" until you sell, though. So your networth will climb, which feels pretty good, but you would still have to pay rent or buy a new house if you were to sell. You would have collateral, though, which means you could borrow money for other things. Or you become a landlord like Graham and you get other people to pay your mortgages for your downpayment/investment. But owning a house will soak up a lot of your income compared to finding cheaper rent. Mortgages kind of suck, because they make you pay more towards the interest than the towards the actual ownership of the house.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
My CFA ’ANGELA LYNN SCHILLING’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
im seeing more and more homes dropping 5k-20k in my area. Sellers are getting tired of listening to their real estate agents and paying all those extra taxes/expenses trying to win the real estate lottery
An agent just offered me a $50 k discount on 1.5 million dollar 3 bedroom 2,5 bath home. What a joke, and what blatant arrogance in a down market. Sellers and agents have their heads in the clouds. The real estate lottery is dead. A 30 to 40 percent drop is eminent. These homes are way over priced, and all know it. Stupid people are still buying, but they will lose big time. Do not be stupid. These inflated homes are not worth it.
@@Joce123 According to our unemployed Miami Realtor on a YOLO 4 month vacation the world is ending tomorrow ! Nothing but pain & suffering every where ⛈⛈☔🌧⛈⛈!

I saw a development today in Waukee, Iowa with 19 completly framed abandoned townhomes. They never even got tar paper on any of the roofs and all the OSB is breaking down to the point every house will need new sheathing
No prices are not going down. The development I am talking about is directly east of the new mcdonalds on grand prairie Pkwy. Go check it out for yourself!!!!
A substrate (like a 4x8 sheet of plywood) that is attached to the outside of a buildings' (house) studs or infrastructure that shouldn't get wet... it turns into saturated cardboard, essentially. Because none of this was covered, it's been rained on and is useless... worse, needs to be removed and replaced
It's funny. My father was friends with Jimmy Buffet and lived in the Keys (Summerland) and when my father passed, Mr Buffet was kind enough to let me stay in a property he owned in Key West while I took care of some things. From the deck of his house I could look across a small bay at A1A headed into Key West and all I saw was a car dealership, fast food joints, a chain bookstore and commercial neon everywhere. Looking at the crass commercialism I knew why Mr Buffett left the Keys. That was 20yrs ago. I can only imagine how plastic it is today.
Anyone using an 'agent' to buy/sell is a fool - digital cameras, FB, X and all online market places - blank sales agreements w/ instructions available online too - just need an appraisal and a closing attorney SAVING everyone literally Tens of Thousands!

Yet its terrible ! New S & P 500 record / new NASDAQ record but its all terrible because housing is expensive. High interest rates too 😢😭😿
Pretty much. I’m fortunate to have gotten debt free during the Trump years. Nothing good lasts. I learned my lesson in those 8 Obama years. Don’t buy anything, just save and invest money.
Have you ever discussed or looked into corporations and other countries buying the property en masse that American citizens cannot afford and thus supporting the wealthy while making homeownership an impossibility for the average American?
@@TheSuperdodgy Sir or Madam, I' am from Miami. I am sure your numbers are what you say they are, but I know from experience that those numbers are not representative of reality any more than the people saying that inflation is only (fill in the blank) or that wages are up.😉🍻😁 The numbers don't reflect the reality of dummy companies or other forms of legal chicanery. On debate night I was told that food prices have only gone up 20% and yet, whereas I used to spend $200 a month on food, now I only can afford buy absolute essentials and usually end up going hungry by the end of the month.
@@randomchord Amigo. I know things are tough all over. The inflation figures are calculated using a "basket" of goods. We know a lot of other items are WAY higher than the stated inflation rate. There are a lot of reasons why housing is also insanely overpriced and expensive. Overseas buyers have little or no impact. 66% of Americans own their own home and 70% those with a mortgage have a rate of 3.5% or below. Housing is going to remain high for some time yet. I don't know what the solution is. It is current a global thing not defined to the US. I hope things improve for you and your family.
@@TheSuperdodgy Thank you. No family. Am old. All family long gone and I was forced to move from Miami where I had lived for my entire life because I could not afford the cost of living there and had heard no one speak English for over 2 years. I moved up to the Tampa Bay Area and it's so much better but rents up here have gone from $1K a month for a small one-bedroom to $1,800 - $2,300 a month in just the last three years. I personally have no future or hope, I'm just fighting to survive and preparing to live the homeless life. Not looking for sympathy, just another voice trying to make people aware of what is happening to the middle class. 🍻
Your feeling towards Illinois really shine through. I saw a whole different side of you watching you interact with your family members. I hope you watch these videos again, especially the ones with your mother.
I have found that if you can qualify for a personal line of credit or a large enough home equity line of credit that velocity banking has merit.. I also learned that if you have a credit card balance and if every few days you put some money on that. Perhaps $4 it will help you raise your credit score so that you can qualify for a personal line of credit do not get a personal LOAN.. get a personal. line of credit or a home equity line of credit.
Just got back from Costco & you should see what $45 bought ! Its so terrible my grill 😋will be filled with food this 4th of July 🎆🎆 ! Be safe everybody ! 😎🌞
exactly...... The fence is propped up in some places and not dug in.......Cattle never test the fence until the wind blows it down. . and then the stampede begins.
A lot of people can't afford to do repairs like siding, roofing, windows right now. My neighbor has his own construction business and things are slow. That house that's falling apart may belong to an elderly couple on a fixed income....or a disabled person who is struggling to put food on the table right now. During the plandemic, prices on wood and other materials went crazy and it was hard to even find people who could do repairs if you could afford it. I needed plumbing work done but ended up doing it myself and that was an experience!! They didn't want to even come to the house or go inside to do work out of fear of dying of the lyrus.
When it comes to elderly, we the people will have to step up, donate some services. Screw these businesses that have screwed the people so they can live high on the hog. People need to help each other and get creative. Where is our humanity???
@@AcornHillHomestead Where’s the forethought of living within means,avoiding debt/FOMO/YOLO, saving/investing early in life,etc.. Seems people were living high on the hog and why many are in trouble now. I stepped up starting at 14 saving,investing ,and avoiding debt. Where’s the financial common sense?
I never bought because many can buy but cannot pay to maintain . If u cannot pay 10k a year for repairs and 100k in er fund u should not own . Even if It was all free for the house just say no Why Property taxes go up New roof every 20 years equals 20 thousand If ure 70 and ure home is paid off how u gonna pay 20 k for a roof Make it make sense Don't buy stay renting in a cheap state
@@janityy I don’t know where you get those numbers from.. Don’t think I’ve paid over $10k in repairs in 20 years with both of my homes. Cost $5k-$12k to replace a roof in my area or more for fancy roofs and no big deal. You really think everyone over 70 is broke?
Saturday I talked to a realtor that said that he and his brother are starting a company to teach people how buy and sell their own house. He said you don't need a realtor, you can just do it yourself.
If there is only one home sell in 2M that will get summay that the home peice increase a lot. It is nonsense way to show home price .it is extremly greedy today that will not end well.
Michael, did you hear about the 4,000 errors the Cook County Tax Assessor made? One guy had his property taxes go from $1,800/yr to $30,000/yr! A 3,800% increase on a 900 sq ft very modest house. House prices need to fall 50%-60% nationwide. We need the 08-09 crash on mega steroids to make things affordable again.
And the homeowner couldn't get any body to tell him anything, even after going down to the tax assessors office.....until, he got the media involved.....SMH....
@@norxgirl1 Yes the Local News channel interviewed that man & I saw a brand new C8 in the driveway too during his interview. The Cook County Treasurer Office apparently not hiring Math wizards.
Agent in Naples, FL here, seeing trends that match up with your thoughts/observations. Sales volumes off in May -11.5% and June -26% after normal beginning of the year. Additionally, inventory has declined by about -12% since end of May. Not due to sales but due to Expireds, Terminated, and Withdrawn. People taking their properties off market. DOM for properties sold in the past 30 days is 68 days while DOM for properties still on market is way up to 104 days. Median prices down just -3% versus last year at $595K (2023 was record high median price for June).
@@deelehey2827 Great! Congrats! Indeed it’s a superb place to do this business as it is a luxury market. There are roughly 6,000 agents and about 600-1000 sales per month depending on time of year.
It doesn't matter about anyone's feeling towards real estate or the current housing market. People are working hard everywhere to earn very little money, and no one can afford anything, this is only going to get worse. Housing is only going up largely across the nation. Don't use old metrics, your experience in real estate, stats, or any other bs because listings will continue to sit on the market until investors buy it ALL. That's by design, investors will own everything and the common man will own NOTHING. When all homes are purchased, they can charge you whatever they want for rent, or you will live on the street. They want this to happen by design, most people will own nothing going forward...If interest rates drop, prices will skyrocket, so unaffordability will remain high for everyone. I don't see any of this changing any time soon.
Please explain if you have time. Novice here... What's the point in investing if there's absolutely no return? If people are broke then it doesn't matter how much they charge because no one can afford to buy/rent. I always thought the goal of the elite was to make as much money as they can while simultaneously destroying people's lives 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️?
"If we sold to you, where would we live that we could afford?" We've told that to everyone for years. If you are in a good situation, just stay there. No brainer.
I work with homeless people. An overwhelming majority wish to be homeless. There are numerous housing options for them, but they come with rules. They're mostly drug addicts and/or mentally ill, and most housing available to them requires them to get treatment (or at least not be high, or possess drugs) and they flat out refuse. They would rather live in a tent or on the streets and be free to do whatever they want.
From the work I've done I came across the same issue. They don't want to follow the rules, they want to keep abusing drugs and to put it bluntly to live like wild animals. We need to bring back asylums. The rest of the homeless can stay in government made prefab concrete cubicles in a homeless zone or something.
Some of this could probably be solved by opening up the ironically called "public land" to homesteaders. Every square inch of the US is owned by somebody, either private or government, which leads no place for people to live if they don't have the money.
yeah my sister was homeless and went from shelter to shelter. They would kick you out after certain amount of time. They encourage you to get treatment and look for work but only if you want it.
@@grimaffiliations3671 look at the other replies. This isn't a secret, this is well known among anyone who works with the homeless population. It applies to, probably, at least 80% of the homeless. The people who don't want to be homeless, get help and aren't on the streets for very long.
Might be slightly off topic, but I just was watching a video on the Blue Zone Nikoya in Costa Rica. The people living quality lives past 100 years old are living in “Huts” (for lack of a better word) 30 minutes outside of the city in the forest growing food and coffee beans, cooking their own meals from scratch, surrounded by family, neighbors they know, and walking or bicycling. Makes one wonder how much really do we need that we are programmed to think we need? We spend our entire lives chasing after that 😥All by design.😡 I’m a little guilty of it myself. But, no more. I’m in the middle of a complete life reset.
The whole blue zone thing is a farce. It’s been debunked already. But I understand what you’re saying. But how many American cities and even towns are pedestrian friendly? Not that many. I am very lucky that I live in a town where I can walk to many of the places I need or take a bus. Or get a ride from a friend. I am blind so I can’t drive. So a walkable pedestrian friendly town is a good thing for me. But many people are stuck in towns that are nowhere near this pedestrian friendly. I have a huge backyard where I could put in a garden. I have my own chickens, Atlee wonderful eggs. My quality life is much better than many people in this country even though I don’t have much money at all. I live in a 690 square-foot house. It was built in 1900 and it’s solid as a rock. A lot of this new construction is just pure crap. And they’re asking. Ridiculous prices for terrible houses. It really is sad. And frustrating.
Imma throw a little scripture-esq in so please do not get upset. What the devil tried to use to destroy you/us God used for his glory. God turns beauty from ashes. Basically, they keep trying to destroy us, but we need to adjust, pivot & learn to live outside of the box that THEY keep trying to keep us in & beat us over the head with. Amen
Grateful to have our house! Hunker down! Loved the beautiful a Victorian that you showed us! Enjoyed your walk by the cemetery snd meeting John. Very cool!
Real estate and stocks seem to be following the "stretch it to the limit" theorem of advancing. This never ends well...and won't this time either. Hold on to your $$ folks. Trim back and be humble. Methinks there are some seriously tough times on the horizon...
Cars are not as affordable as before. I was recently rear ended and the other party's insurance company should go to jail. Whatever hoops they can make you jump through just to get yourself back to where you were before the car was hit. These insurance company will do anything to avoid paying you or getting you to become frustrated and just accept anything. They want you to go to their shop and in some cases that can take 6 months as all of these shops are booked way up. The company employee is being paid but they expect you to travel around town getting bids on your time and your gas. This is just a part of what citizen consumers are seeing. If I see the future many many people will just refuse to engage in buying homes or cars. The taxes, the insurance, the upkeep on both of these large purchases is just getting to be too much.
I can barely afford food. I no longer have a savings account. I am seriously looking at being homeless by this time next year. The middle-class and the poor have been absolutely screaming about what has been being done to the economy. All y'all that are rich enough to be flipping houses that are finally noticing? Welcome to the party guys.
Where do you live and what can you do right now to avoid being homeless? Can you declutter and downsize maybe buy a vehicle that you can live in if absolutely necessary.. Perhaps network with somebody else to find a way to jointly solve the problem?... A few more details might give us a way to give you some ideas that you have not thought about.

We got a abundance of homes for sale in northern Ohio! None are selling .. for the income in the area ! The homes are priced 3 times hire ….. In northern Ohio the average pay is 15 bucks an hour .. but the home prices are 300k plus … not happening..
NOPE - eliminate the COMMISSION leaches - all you need is an appraisal and a closing attorney - you can write up a deal on a napkin if you want but blank purchase sale agreements can be bought online or a book store - Stalemate resolved AND the interested parties can each negotiate the literal TENS of THOUSANDS of savings involved
Thanks Michael for your honesty and integrity. Lots of pending homes are having problems with appraisals Hope a “market correction “ is coming. Time for the prices to drop.
My cousin lives in Florida and had to put a fence up to keep the homeless from walking into his yard from a public park encampment behind his house. They recently started an accidental fire from a fire pit they made that led to a fire truck running a house along his house to put it out and tore up his yard. Now they are still there living in a torched public park. If nothing else it’s very unsafe
Things started to break when Trump was in - then Covid hit - Doesn’t matter who gets in Nov, we are in bad shape. Sit tight big drops and great buys will come to the market
People in Europe and in Australia…. Even the world…. Are saying the same thing. It’s easy to direct it here at home, but I fear we are in a global shift!
prices are high because the dollar is worthless. REAL estate is an international market. The FED's "clicking" TRILLIONS into existence and buying GOLD and real estate with those "dollars" destroys the market.
Its worth a lot right now because of the higher interest rates ! Record air travel to other countries because of the STRONG DOLLAR Buying more in other countries ! Keep listening to this unemployed Miami Realtor to get the wrong information. Record S & P 500 / record NASDAQ / record DOW ! Hello ? Anyone home on the 4th ? Gas prices down by a $1.00 from last year ! Oh its so BAD ! Unemployed Miami Realtor on a YOLO vacation trying to tell you he has got it SO BAD ☔🌧🌧⛈🌧
No thanks. That is a mindset the wealthy elitists impart on those who are not them. Simply live below your means and plot out the best prioritizations that you can as you take the best care of yourself that you are able to.
This reminds me of the plandemic...people started to learn they didn't need a lot of the things they were DENIED access to. We can definitely do that again during this mess. I stopped buying eggs after the egg "crisis" because it was absurd & we do not need eggs to survive. I felt bad for those in business who did 😢.
Florida has passed laws for the homeless, soon to go into effect. Each town/city A: Can not allow homeless people to wander the streets, set up little tent villages, etc., B: Each town/city MUST have a designated place for them.
It helps no one to feel sad/bad for homeless. Sure a very few are good people that got hit with bad luck. Most had bad habits and multiple opportunities to get back on the straight and narrow. by the time someone end up homeless they have already burned many bridges.
I believe a housing market crash is imminent due to many individuals buying homes above the asking price, despite low interest rates. As housing prices decline, these buyers find themselves without equity. If they can no longer afford their homes, foreclosure becomes likely. Even selling would not yield any profits. This situation is expected to affect many people, especially with the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you're careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advice but get buying, cash isn't king at all in this time!
You are right! I've diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.

I disagree. However most realtors are useless. I don’t like regulations in most sectors. But in real estate they need to be more qualified with much more guidance. I think an apprenticeship program with veteran agents would be appropriate. I also truly believe lenders and realtors should be held accountable for encouraging and allowing buyers to purchase 50-100k over asking price like they did not so long ago. Seems like a breach of fiduciary obligations to me.
Everything has been slowing down across the Nation. And everything will fall hard. Thank you Michael for always doing your best. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
Here's my example, I am an elderly Disabled Veteran, I was homeless for 13 years, but now I have been in a small apartment for the last 6 years. I worked to get my life together, paying all my past dues, have a 755 fico score, and have saved 20% down in my price range, searching the last 2 years( not a good idea) and I found a reasonable deal. Problem: These agents want me to sign an exclusive contract with them @ 2.5%. Not for Me! I did find an agent, however that would take a small amount for showing properties within a set time frame & if I like a home and wanted to bid, if accepted, would change the terms to the original fee they wanted minus the small upfront fee. This I find reasonable . Hopefully in the coming week's I will find the home that I've been after. 🤔... does that seem like I am doing my due diligence? Anyway, Love your Vids, and keep on Trucking, Michael B!!! ✌️ ~*
Thank you for your service!! It's disgusting how our government treats our veterans....I am glad you was able to get yourself on the swing side of things

Yet here in Australia, prices are still increasing every single month, and houses are selling easily, and far above their listed price. So, housing shortage & sky high rent. It's shit, and there is no end in sight. Australia has the most expensive housing market in the world now. You guys are lucky in the US if ppl are sensible enough to stop buying. It will force greedy owners to lower their over-inflated prices.
Australia doesn’t have the most expensive housing market. Excluding raw home prices, even in terms of median home price to income, it’s not the top. That would be given to Hong Kong. Australia certainly has one of the most expensive housing markets though with all of the major cities on the list but in terms of raw prices, Sydney prices aren’t any different than say Toronto despite ranking higher.
You're getting the tail end of Chinese capital flight. US got the first wave, Canada got the 2nd wave, etc. As their prices crash back home in China they are forced to sell their foreign assets to pay off debts.
@colettespencer3357 Rich and foreign buyers. I live in Qld, which has seen the biggest increases post-pandemic. Basically, you know how everyone leaves California to go to Colarado and other states, therefore increasing their prices? Well that's Qld's fate now. Sydney & Melbourne buyers have been outpaced and moved up here where it was cheaper. Our house prices have increased 70% post-pandemic. It's out of control 😭
I am a history nerd so I know what they used to do 100yrs+ ago for the homeless problem. A large portion of the homeless have mental health disorders that are serious enough they truly do need someone to help them for life and cannot live totally independent. There were long term asylums for this. The old asylums were large and had farms and even jobs for the patients. They were like mini cities. People that were on drugs and causing issues in public from their alcohol/drug use were usually given a few chances to clean their act up, but if they didn't and they kept harassing the public or stealing, etc then they went to the asylum as well and were detoxed and cleaned up. If they went back to drugs and issues every time they were let out, they were kept longer at the asylum. The other category were the very poor, jobless, and disabled. For these folks they had "poor farms". These were farms where they provided housing and aid to these folks. The disabled only worked if they could, otherwise were provided for. The jobless were given jobs at the poor farm to pay for their keep until they were on their feet again. The farms produced food for the people there, and products to sell to support the whole institution much like the asylums used to do. This takes a lot of the strain off the tax payer to pay for a full ride as each person works as much as they are able to support themselves. This ensures there are enough tax payer funds to actually properly run and staff these institutions. We just gradually got away from this old set up and thought we could make better systems, but as evidenced by the homeless issue at present, we have NOT made a better system whatsoever. It makes absolutely NO sense to me why we don't have criminal inmates, asylum patients, etc working if they are able to help foot the bill of supporting them and keeping an orderly, safe society for all.
Near where I live is a almost unused complex that was once a 'state hospital' that was used to house the metal patents for the area. It had a farm with barns and other buildings used to teach useful crafts. The actual hospital was fairly new of about 6 floors which is empty now. So I guess now they are on the street or in a prison. Local police complain they see so many people with drug and other metal issues, and all they can do is put them back on the street.
"One giant homeless camp" will never be a solution, let alone safe. There will be no assistance or care to speak of. Get out of your gilded cage, Mike. The unhomed are treated like non humans that have no right to be anywhere, including so-called 'public' areas - out in the county included.
I've helped the homeless get into housing, many of them simply could not follow the rules and get kicked out. Whether it's my house, an apartment, a shelter it didn't matter. While I feel for them I also fully understand that you cannot let them run roughshod over a community. The US government should have built some of the soviet style concrete cubicles for these people, it would have been cheaper than having to bulldoze/cleanup camps. The homeless have a right to be on public property but they do NOT have the right to piss on it, defecate on it, do drugs on it, sleep on it, start bonfires on it, build tents on it, etc.
I just covered part of this on my channel. America is leaning towards a situation where virtually all "affordable" housing will be corporate owned. It's not a bug, it's a feature.
A huge flaw in this logic is being a landlord is a fucking nightmare, I work for the largest landlord in the world the New York City housing authority. The cost of being a landlord is not sustainable in in a bad economy.
@@JoeyJumper42069 I don't see how your example disproves what I have stated. If anything, if big corporate landlords are hurting then imagine how much moreso smaller private ones are suffering.
Yea , if you keep voting for Republicans the Supreme Court is going to rule that food should be rationed ONLY by the President ! He is GOD ! The Supreme Being ! 🍎🐍
The homeless don’t want to use the resources available. There are shelters but they get mad that they don’t allow bug bed ridden blankets, drugs, alcohol and the other rules they would have to follow. They rather be on the street.
Median price is not home value, median price reflects the middle of total population of sold houses. If cheap houses don't sell and normal houses don't sell then median goes up because the middle of whats left is higher. This does not mean your 200-300K house goes up, that is not a 1:1. It just means more expensive houses sell and less cheap houses sell. High interests rates affect different segments of the population differently. If you make 200k+ you still qualify for a million dollar house at 7.5% and you likely buy cash or cash heavy at close so the 7.5% effect is minimalized. Worst case you buy below your means and pay it down quickly minimalizing the effect of the interest or enabling a refi. Ex if homes are sold for $1, $2, $3, $4 the median is $2.5. Ex2. if homes are sold for $2, $3, $4 median is $3 there was no change in prices but the median went up. There is competition at the 850k+ backet so that is actually going up in many areas but that literally means 0 to somone in a 300k house in the same metro. Real estate is local to the neighborhood / sub division. Just because the ritzy area down the street went up doesn't mean your house does on its own.
Dump the 'realtor' and apply their commission toward a rate 'buy down' or increased down payment - just an appraisal and closing attorney are needed, saving you at least 6% in commissions!
Sooo much real estate for sale, rural, farms, all kinds of acreage....most of the homes already empty/vacated.....so sad....its furnishings unique to the persons living there that make a house a home....

I did not understand the mass migration to Florida during the pandemic. I had written it off years ago as far as being overpriced, high crimes, and congestion like I had never seen just a few years ago. Now even more outrageous home pricing, unobtainable insurance, sky rocketing property taxes, and last but not least an era of naturally occurring climate change that is making it uninhabitable.

I'll let the young folk deal with the fallout. They wanted it- they got it!

It is only beginning
If you're ever in the bay area, CA, I could help you on the discussion of homelessness, underhoused, and I know a city supervisor that I could reach out to maybe for an interview if you need
@@1stworldrefugee443 I'm in Portland I know about it and how the homeless are given bus tickets in some states.
fear a housing crash due to people buying homes above asking prices with little equity. If prices drop, affordability and potential foreclosures may arise, worsened by future layoffs and rising living costs. I want to invest more than $300k, but I'm not sure on how to mitigate risk.
Consider reallocating from real estate to other reliable investments like stock, crypto or precious metals . Severe recessions offer market buying opportunities with caution, as volatility can yield short-term trading prospects. Not financial advice, but it may be wise to invest, as cash isn't ideal in this period.
Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.
nice! once you hit a big milestone, the next comes easier.. who is your advisor please, if you don't mind me asking?
There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’ Melissa Terri Swayne” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I just looked her up on the internet and found her webpage with her credentials. I wrote her a outlining my financial objectives and planned a call with her.
A house isn't the best investment, considering the state of the economy right now. After selling my Boca Grande house, I want to put $200K into stocks because they can still increase in value during difficult times. Do you have any great ideas for stocks?
The truth is that if you make the right picks, you could make killer riches very quickly, although such profit usually needs expertise, as in hedge funds or financial managers. I personally prefer the latter.
Working with a financial advisor has been a game-changer for me. They provided invaluable insights and tailored strategies that aligned perfectly with my risk tolerance and financial objectives. With their support, I've seen significant growth in my investments and gained confidence in my financial future.
Can you share details of your advisor? I want to invest my increased cash flow in stocks and alternative assets to achieve financial goals.
Carol Vivian Constable is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
I searched for her name on the internet, found her page, and reached out via email to schedule a conversation. Thank you.
I'm in the a/c business and a lot of customers I deal with don't have the money to replace their old equipment when it breaks down and should be replaced. I hear 'please do whatever you can to get it running '. I also see in six month's a new flammable freon, R32, which is propane based, has been mandated by our corrupt government. The price of this new equipment will be around 30% higher. This is absolutely devastating news to me in several ways.
Contractors in Australia have been quitting over this hazard (hazardous to install, safety issues if it leaks into the house, etc.), and Europe is supposedly trying to find an alternative. My central a/c in Tennessee broke during the pandemic and I purchased three portables that vent out the window. They use more electricity IF I have all three running and don't cool completely, but I use three until I get too hot and then I go into the smallest room and just leave one on. When I retire next decade hopefully this all gets sorted out and then when I'm home again all the time, I will get a central unit.
On my daily walk in southern California in a supposed middle class area I don't hear many air conditioners running. It tells me the obvious, that people are struggling financially. It's not a good sign.
Can an existing R-410A unit be converted to use R-32? Or does the homeowner have to buy a whole new R-32 unit?
@@malcolmlove4602 No. The coolant changed in 2010 and operates at a different pressure and could not be converted and the old coolant was phased out so it was exhorbitantly expensive to add coolant and in some states against the law if it was leaking. The replacement R-410A was better for the ozone layer, but much worse for climate change, so in 2020 (delayed because of the pandemic) this new one is being mandated in 2025, but Australia and Europe aren't happy about it so who knows how long THIS will be in vogue. People don't have the money to keep replacing entire systems every time governments of the world make changes! So it changed in 2010 and again in 2020 so for people who replaced say in 2014, and let's say the system needed to be charged (refilled) six years later, if it wasn't for the pandemic delaying things, they would have had to replace their whole system again just six years old.
@@malcolmlove4602 No, I don't think so, but R410a will be around for a while, but they're going to cut production every year though.

Who has $50-$60k to put down on a home where your payments are still $1500-$2000 a month? Making $40k a year. Building small doesn't get you a home either. As they often cost as much if not more than a large house. As even tiny homes are being bought up by wealthy driving up cost...

@@mohhingman people make bank in California. It’s wild. Cheapest houses in my city are like 550-600k and they are in horrible neighborhoods and are run down messes.
Buying is great if you find a great deal in great location. It's not really a "profit" until you sell, though. So your networth will climb, which feels pretty good, but you would still have to pay rent or buy a new house if you were to sell. You would have collateral, though, which means you could borrow money for other things. Or you become a landlord like Graham and you get other people to pay your mortgages for your downpayment/investment. But owning a house will soak up a lot of your income compared to finding cheaper rent. Mortgages kind of suck, because they make you pay more towards the interest than the towards the actual ownership of the house.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.
That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this coach?
My CFA ’ANGELA LYNN SCHILLING’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

im seeing more and more homes dropping 5k-20k in my area. Sellers are getting tired of listening to their real estate agents and paying all those extra taxes/expenses trying to win the real estate lottery
just saw a house drop from 399k to 299k, in my city 400k buys a lot of house.
where at
Drops are rampant, but mostly because they keep listing 80k more every year. Dropping 5-50K to get a bite at 50% over is the play
An agent just offered me a $50 k discount on 1.5 million dollar 3 bedroom 2,5 bath home. What a joke, and what blatant arrogance in a down market. Sellers and agents have their heads in the clouds. The real estate lottery is dead. A 30 to 40 percent drop is eminent. These homes are way over priced, and all know it. Stupid people are still buying, but they will lose big time. Do not be stupid. These inflated homes are not worth it.
Ditto. Prices almost always going down and we were booming last year. On the flip side our prop taxes are low. 1/3 of the state we retired from in ‘21

It doesn't matter about anyone's feeling towards real estate or the current housing market. People are working hard everywhere to earn very little money, and no one can afford anything, this is only going to get worse. Housing is only going up largely across the nation. Don't use old metrics, your experience in real estate, stats, or any other bs because listings will continue to sit on the market until investors buy it ALL. That's by design, investors will own everything and the common man will own NOTHING. When all homes are purchased, they can charge you whatever they want for rent, or you will live on the street. They want this to happen by design, most people will own nothing going forward...If interest rates drop, prices will skyrocket, so unaffordability will remain high for everyone. I don't see any of this changing any time soon.
Please explain if you have time. Novice here...
What's the point in investing if there's absolutely no return? If people are broke then it doesn't matter how much they charge because no one can afford to buy/rent.

I work with homeless people. An overwhelming majority wish to be homeless. There are numerous housing options for them, but they come with rules. They're mostly drug addicts and/or mentally ill, and most housing available to them requires them to get treatment (or at least not be high, or possess drugs) and they flat out refuse. They would rather live in a tent or on the streets and be free to do whatever they want.
From the work I've done I came across the same issue. They don't want to follow the rules, they want to keep abusing drugs and to put it bluntly to live like wild animals. We need to bring back asylums. The rest of the homeless can stay in government made prefab concrete cubicles in a homeless zone or something.
Some of this could probably be solved by opening up the ironically called "public land" to homesteaders. Every square inch of the US is owned by somebody, either private or government, which leads no place for people to live if they don't have the money.
yeah my sister was homeless and went from shelter to shelter. They would kick you out after certain amount of time. They encourage you to get treatment and look for work but only if you want it.
even if you actually work with homeless people, why would the ones you've interacted with speak for all homeless people?
@@grimaffiliations3671 look at the other replies. This isn't a secret, this is well known among anyone who works with the homeless population. It applies to, probably, at least 80% of the homeless. The people who don't want to be homeless, get help and aren't on the streets for very long.

Might be slightly off topic, but I just was watching a video on the Blue Zone Nikoya in Costa Rica. The people living quality lives past 100 years old are living in “Huts” (for lack of a better word) 30 minutes outside of the city in the forest growing food and coffee beans, cooking their own meals from scratch, surrounded by family, neighbors they know, and walking or bicycling. Makes one wonder how much really do we need that we are programmed to think we need? We spend our entire lives chasing after that 😥All by design.😡 I’m a little guilty of it myself. But, no more. I’m in the middle of a complete life reset.
The whole blue zone thing is a farce. It’s been debunked already. But I understand what you’re saying. But how many American cities and even towns are pedestrian friendly? Not that many. I am very lucky that I live in a town where I can walk to many of the places I need or take a bus. Or get a ride from a friend. I am blind so I can’t drive. So a walkable pedestrian friendly town is a good thing for me. But many people are stuck in towns that are nowhere near this pedestrian friendly. I have a huge backyard where I could put in a garden. I have my own chickens, Atlee wonderful eggs. My quality life is much better than many people in this country even though I don’t have much money at all. I live in a 690 square-foot house. It was built in 1900 and it’s solid as a rock. A lot of this new construction is just pure crap. And they’re asking. Ridiculous prices for terrible houses. It really is sad. And frustrating.
This is so true. They are healthy because they eat organically. They have community. Connection. Modern living loses that.
Imma throw a little scripture-esq in so please do not get upset. What the devil tried to use to destroy you/us God used for his glory. God turns beauty from ashes.
Basically, they keep trying to destroy us, but we need to adjust, pivot & learn to live outside of the box that THEY keep trying to keep us in & beat us over the head with.

Exactly.
Cars are not as affordable as before. I was recently rear ended and the other party's insurance company should go to jail. Whatever hoops they can make you jump through just to get yourself back to where you were before the car was hit. These insurance company will do anything to avoid paying you or getting you to become frustrated and just accept anything. They want you to go to their shop and in some cases that can take 6 months as all of these shops are booked way up. The company employee is being paid but they expect you to travel around town getting bids on your time and your gas. This is just a part of what citizen consumers are seeing. If I see the future many many people will just refuse to engage in buying homes or cars. The taxes, the insurance, the upkeep on both of these large purchases is just getting to be too much.

NOPE - eliminate the COMMISSION leaches - all you need is an appraisal and a closing attorney - you can write up a deal on a napkin if you want but blank purchase sale agreements can be bought online or a book store - Stalemate resolved AND the interested parties can each negotiate the literal TENS of THOUSANDS of savings involved
The average shitbox house is like $400,000, add high interest. Nobody can afford them? Shocking.

My cousin lives in Florida and had to put a fence up to keep the homeless from walking into his yard from a public park encampment behind his house. They recently started an accidental fire from a fire pit they made that led to a fire truck running a house along his house to put it out and tore up his yard. Now they are still there living in a torched public park. If nothing else it’s very unsafe

Would like to know.? How many Pending Home Sale's are Owner Occupied?🤔🤔 Safe Travels to Kali...
I believe a housing market crash is imminent due to many individuals buying homes above the asking price, despite low interest rates. As housing prices decline, these buyers find themselves without equity. If they can no longer afford their homes, foreclosure becomes likely. Even selling would not yield any profits. This situation is expected to affect many people, especially with the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.
I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you're careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advice but get buying, cash isn't king at all in this time!
You are right! I've diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks,

I disagree. However most realtors are useless. I don’t like regulations in most sectors. But in real estate they need to be more qualified with much more guidance. I think an apprenticeship program with veteran agents would be appropriate. I also truly believe lenders and realtors should be held accountable for encouraging and allowing buyers to purchase 50-100k over asking price like they did not so long ago. Seems like a breach of fiduciary obligations to me.

Yep, the fake economy prop up cannot last. The slowdown and life support state of the real economy is finally beginning to be obvious.
home prices are unaffordable yet homes keep on selling at record highs in NJ...
Here's my example, I am an elderly Disabled Veteran, I was homeless for 13 years, but now I have been in a small apartment for the last 6 years.
I worked to get my life together, paying all my past dues, have a 755 fico score, and have saved 20% down in my price range, searching the last 2 years( not a good idea) and I found a reasonable deal.
Problem: These agents want me to sign an exclusive contract with them @ 2.5%. Not for Me! I did find an agent, however that would take a small amount for showing properties within a set time frame & if I like a home and wanted to bid, if accepted, would change the terms to the original fee they wanted minus the small upfront fee. This I find reasonable . Hopefully in the coming week's I will find the home that I've been after.

Yet here in Australia, prices are still increasing every single month, and houses are selling easily, and far above their listed price. So, housing shortage & sky high rent. It's shit, and there is no end in sight. Australia has the most expensive housing market in the world now.
You guys are lucky in the US if ppl are sensible enough to stop buying. It will force greedy owners to lower their over-inflated prices.
We are trying 😎!
Who is buying in Australia at those prices? Just the rich?
Australia doesn’t have the most expensive housing market. Excluding raw home prices, even in terms of median home price to income, it’s not the top. That would be given to Hong Kong. Australia certainly has one of the most expensive housing markets though with all of the major cities on the list but in terms of raw prices, Sydney prices aren’t any different than say Toronto despite ranking higher.

I am a history nerd so I know what they used to do 100yrs+ ago for the homeless problem. A large portion of the homeless have mental health disorders that are serious enough they truly do need someone to help them for life and cannot live totally independent. There were long term asylums for this. The old asylums were large and had farms and even jobs for the patients. They were like mini cities. People that were on drugs and causing issues in public from their alcohol/drug use were usually given a few chances to clean their act up, but if they didn't and they kept harassing the public or stealing, etc then they went to the asylum as well and were detoxed and cleaned up. If they went back to drugs and issues every time they were let out, they were kept longer at the asylum.
The other category were the very poor, jobless, and disabled. For these folks they had "poor farms". These were farms where they provided housing and aid to these folks. The disabled only worked if they could, otherwise were provided for. The jobless were given jobs at the poor farm to pay for their keep until they were on their feet again.
The farms produced food for the people there, and products to sell to support the whole institution much like the asylums used to do. This takes a lot of the strain off the tax payer to pay for a full ride as each person works as much as they are able to support themselves. This ensures there are enough tax payer funds to actually properly run and staff these institutions. We just gradually got away from this old set up and thought we could make better systems, but as evidenced by the homeless issue at present, we have NOT made a better system whatsoever.
It makes absolutely NO sense to me why we don't have criminal inmates, asylum patients, etc working if they are able to help foot the bill of supporting them and keeping an orderly, safe society for all.
Yup. It would change out society overnight.
Near where I live is a almost unused complex that was once a 'state hospital' that was used to house the metal patents for the area. It had a farm with barns and other buildings used to teach useful crafts. The actual hospital was fairly new of about 6 floors which is empty now. So I guess now they are on the street or in a prison. Local police complain they see so many people with drug and other metal issues, and all they can do is put them back on the street.
corps & banks lose profit and unfortunately they run the gov.
The Asylums would have to be big enough to house 90% of Americans.
Amen
"One giant homeless camp" will never be a solution, let alone safe. There will be no assistance or care to speak of. Get out of your gilded cage, Mike.
The unhomed are treated like non humans that have no right to be anywhere, including so-called 'public' areas - out in the county included.
There's too damn many people. Solutions are nonexistent. Put some homeless in your backyard.
I've helped the homeless get into housing, many of them simply could not follow the rules and get kicked out. Whether it's my house, an apartment, a shelter it didn't matter. While I feel for them I also fully understand that you cannot let them run roughshod over a community. The US government should have built some of the soviet style concrete cubicles for these people, it would have been cheaper than having to bulldoze/cleanup camps. The homeless have a right to be on public property but they do NOT have the right to piss on it, defecate on it, do drugs on it, sleep on it, start bonfires on it, build tents on it, etc.

The homeless don’t want to use the resources available. There are shelters but they get mad that they don’t allow bug bed ridden blankets, drugs, alcohol and the other rules they would have to follow. They rather be on the street.
That's actually true 👍
Median price is not home value, median price reflects the middle of total population of sold houses. If cheap houses don't sell and normal houses don't sell then median goes up because the middle of whats left is higher. This does not mean your 200-300K house goes up, that is not a 1:1. It just means more expensive houses sell and less cheap houses sell.
High interests rates affect different segments of the population differently. If you make 200k+ you still qualify for a million dollar house at 7.5% and you likely buy cash or cash heavy at close so the 7.5% effect is minimalized. Worst case you buy below your means and pay it down quickly minimalizing the effect of the interest or enabling a refi.
Ex if homes are sold for $1, $2, $3, $4 the median is $2.5.
Ex2. if homes are sold for $2, $3, $4 median is $3 there was no change in prices but the median went up.
There is competition at the 850k+ backet so that is actually going up in many areas but that literally means 0 to somone in a 300k house in the same metro. Real estate is local to the neighborhood / sub division. Just because the ritzy area down the street went up doesn't mean your house does on its own.
Pre COVID lockdown, I qualified for 550 k USD....
Today, I qualify for 350k USD.
the credit tightening has only begun
Dump the 'realtor' and apply their commission toward a rate 'buy down' or increased down payment - just an appraisal and closing attorney are needed, saving you at least 6% in commissions!
