In the latest episode of this week's engaging podcast, Amanda delves into the intricacies of utilizing leverage judiciously within the context of a dynamic real estate market shift. With her insightful analysis, she sheds light on the profound impacts of swift interest rate hikes on the intricate tapestry of the real estate landscape. By delving into these effects, listeners gain a deeper understanding of the multifaceted implications that reverberate across the market. As Amanda articulates, one of the prominent repercussions stemming from rapid interest rate escalation is the dwindling housing affordability. Escalating rates translate to higher mortgage costs, rendering homeownership a more elusive dream for many aspiring buyers. This, in turn, exerts a dampening effect on the demand for homes, leading to the subsequent deceleration of home sales. Concurrently, the discussion explores the phenomenon of price corrections, where the exuberance of the market encounters a reality check, prompting a potential reevaluation of property valuations in response to altered financing dynamics.   Not to leave you with only warnings, Amanda also shares ways to use other people's money wisely so that real estate investors don't end up overleveraged and filing bankruptcy.

Comment on the YouTube version here: https://youtu.be/7nSOXjxv7ds   Ever hear the parable of the 3 bricklayers? The story goes like this:   Three bricklayers were working on a construction site. A passerby asked each one of them what they were doing. The first bricklayer replied, "I am laying bricks." The second bricklayer said, "I am building a church." The third bricklayer, with a big smile on his face, said, "I am building a house for God."   The story demonstrates how each of the bricklayers saw their work differently. The first bricklayer saw it as a job, the second saw it as a career, while the third saw it as a calling - a meaningful contribution to something greater than himself.   We might not be able to help you find your calling. We do have some unconventional tips for finding a quality career.   Don't forget to ask lots of questions before moving from one company to another.   Pro Tip: Wealth Wisdom Financial is hiring for those interested in a career in the financial services industry.
