Intended and Unintended Consequences of  Rent Control

Intended and Unintended Consequences of Rent Control

A new proposition for rent control is on the ballot in California. Proposition 33, if it passes, would expand rent controls to include single-family homes and newer apartments. Many cities, including San Francisco and Los Angeles, already limit the amount a landlord can raise the rent each year — but for nearly 30 years, California has imposed limits on those limits, via a law known as Costa-Hawkins. That law states that cities cannot set rent control on single-family homes or apartments built after 1995. And landlords are free to set their own rental rates when new tenants move in.    Tenant advocates have been fighting Costa-Hawkins for years, but so far, without success. They tried to overturn it with ballot measures in 2018 and 2020. Lawmakers also tried with legislation. While those efforts failed, Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2019 signed a law limiting annual rent increases statewide to 5% plus inflation. According to the Public Policy Institute of California, nearly 30% of California renters spend more than half their income on rent — which is higher than in any other state except Florida and Louisiana.   But, is rent control the answer? There have been studies that show the negative side effects of rent control, but the Journal of Housing Economics recently published a review of 112 rent control studies, and the results are eye opening, or at least they should be.   Links:   ~~~~ JOIN RealWealth® FOR FREE 🏡👇 https://realty.realwealth.com/join-now/ ~~~~ EXPAND YOUR REAL ESTATE KNOWLEDGE AND PORTFOLIO Members have exclusive access to👇 👉Vetted property teams 👉Trusted lenders and lawyers 👉Regular property tours 👉Vetted CPAs and legal 👉Asset protection providers 👉And more! ~~~~ FOLLOW OUR PODCASTS🎤️👇 The Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast https://tinyurl.com/RWSsubscribe Real Estate News: Real Estate Investing Podcast: https://tinyurl.com/RENsubscribe ~~~~ READ BOOKS BY RealWealth® FOUNDERS📖👇 The Wise Investor by Rich Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/thewiseinvestorbook Retire Rich with Rentals by Kathy Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/retirerichwithrentals Scaling Smart by Rich & Kathy Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/scalingsmart ~~~~ FREE RealWealth® EDUCATION & TOOLS👇 RealWealth market reports: https://realwealth.com/learn/best-places-to-buy-rental-property/ RealWealth webinars: https://realwealth.com/thursday-webinars/ RealWealth videos: https://realwealth.com/category/video/ RealWealth Assessment™: https://realwealth.com/assessment/ ~~~~ MORE INFORMATION👇 RealWealth stories: https://realwealth.com/stories/ Become a RealWealth property team: https://realwealth.com/new-team/ Check out our syndications at Grow Developments: https://growdevelopments.com/ ~~~~ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM👇 Kathy: @kathyfettke or  https://www.instagram.com/kathyfettke/ Rich: @richfettke or  https://www.instagram.com/richfettke/ RealWealth: @realwealth or https://www.instagram.com/realwealth/ ~~~~ DISCLAIMER👇 The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are provided for informational purposes only, and should not be construed as an offer to buy or sell any securities or to make or consider any investment or course of action.

Big About-Face Expected for the Remote Work Trend

Big About-Face Expected for the Remote Work Trend

CEOs are predicting the end of remote work. More than a thousand global CEOs participated in a survey and some 8 in 10 of them said remote work would be dead in three years. Several big companies have already issued return-to-office mandates, including Amazon, which has led to an outcry among employees and some creativity in making it “look” like they’re in the office when they’re not.

Has the “Vibecession” Finally Ended with a Soft Landing?

Has the “Vibecession” Finally Ended with a Soft Landing?

Many consumers believe we have been in a recession for more than a year, but economists say that’s not what the data is showing us. They say consumer’s have mistakenly believed the economy is weaker than it is like a “bad vibe” or “vibecession.” But with inflation coming back down to earth and rate cuts on the horizon, those bad vibes are starting to disappear. A recent report on consumer sentiment shows that three out of five Americans mistakenly believe we have been in a recession for more than a year now. The survey was done by Affirm in June with responses from 2,000 adults. The biggest reasons for feeling this way boil down to higher prices and tougher times making ends meet.  Join us for our virtual book launch for "Scaling Smart" on September 21st.

House Hunting Just Got More Complicated! What You Need to Know!

House Hunting Just Got More Complicated! What You Need to Know!

Gone are the days of a casual home tour with a real estate agent you’ve just met. New rules from the National Association of Realtors require a signed agreement with that agent that includes how the buyer’s agent will get paid and what services the agent will provide. In the past, buyers didn’t have to worry about making a commitment ahead of time. Before I get to the news, I would like to invite you all to a really fun book launch party on September 8th in Denver. My husband Rich and I are celebrating the upcoming release of our new book, Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business. The book launch will be held at a climbing gym.

Rent Advantage Is Both Expanding & Shrinking

Rent Advantage Is Both Expanding & Shrinking

The advantage of renting over buying is going in two directions. On one hand, it's become cheaper to rent than to buy in more cities this year. On the other hand, the overall advantage is narrowing. That indicates benefits for potential homebuyers as well as investors. Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. Before I get to the news, I would like to invite you all to a book launch party on September 8th in Denver. My husband Rich and I are celebrating the upcoming release of our new book, Scaling Smart: How to Design a Self-Managing Business. The book launch will be held at a climbing gym.

Nation’s First Ban Against Rent-Setting Software in San Francisco

San Francisco is now the first city in the nation to ban rent-setting technology such as that offered by RealPage. City supervisors completely banned the sale and use of that software in a unanimous vote on July 30th. They say it has made the affordability crisis worse by raising apartment rents above competitive levels. RealPage says the city is not focusing on the real problem.

Solar Surge, Data Centers & Texas!

Solar Surge, Data Centers & Texas!

Solar electricity is now expanding faster than any other kind of power source in the U.S. New solar installations are surging ahead of natural gas expansion as demand grows for the transition to clean energy for homes, businesses, data centers, and artificial intelligence. It’s still a small percentage of the electricity we use, but industry experts say we are at a turning point in our decarbonization goals.   I’d like to mention that anyone who missed my 2024 Mid-Year Economic Update can see a replay of the webinar at our website. I had one of my favorite economists as co-host – the very knowledgeable and engaging John Chang of Marcus & Millichap. You will find the webinar replay at www.newsforinvestors.com.

New Migration Trends for Smarter Investing Decisions

New Migration Trends for Smarter Investing Decisions

In this episode, we'll take a look at what’s happening in 2024 according to one of my favorite demographic experts. And I also just recorded a show on this on my other podcast with another expert demographer. You can check that out on the Real Wealth Show.  Hi I’m Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. And if you love economic trends, it's not too late to sign up for my Mid-Year Economic Update webinar, scheduled for July 25th.

Before we get started, I want to remind you that we are hosting a free webinar this week with a Florida builder who's offering loan rates as low as 4.25% on duplexes in Jacksonville with property management in place.

We’ll get the Personal Consumption Expenditure index for June on Friday. The PCE is the Federal Reserve’s preferred inflation indicator and will give us another glimpse at which direction inflation is moving and how fast. Economists are expecting to see further proof that inflation is slowing down...   Links:   ~~~~ JOIN RealWealth® FOR FREE 🏡👇 https://realty.realwealth.com/join-now/ ~~~~ EXPAND YOUR REAL ESTATE KNOWLEDGE AND PORTFOLIO Members have exclusive access to👇 👉Vetted property teams 👉Trusted lenders and lawyers 👉Regular property tours 👉Vetted CPAs and legal  👉Asset protection providers 👉And more! ~~~~ FOLLOW OUR PODCASTS🎤️👇 The Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast https://link.chtbl.com/RWS Real Estate News: Real Estate Investing Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/REN ~~~~ READ BOOKS BY RealWealth FOUNDERS📖👇 The Wise Investor by Rich Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/thewiseinvestorbook Retire Rich with Rentals by Kathy Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/retirerichwithrentals ~~~~ FREE RealWealth EDUCATION & TOOLS👇 RealWealth market reports: https://realwealth.com/learn/best-places-to-buy-rental-property/ RealWealth webinars: https://realwealth.com/thursday-webinars/ RealWealth videos: https://realwealth.com/category/video/ RealWealth Assessment™: https://realwealth.com/assessment/ ~~~~ MORE INFORMATION RealWealth stories: https://realwealth.com/stories/ Become a RealWealth property team: https://realwealth.com/new-team/ Check out our syndications at Grow Developments: https://growdevelopments.com/ ~~~~ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: Kathy: @kathyfettke or  https://www.instagram.com/kathyfettke/ Rich: @richfettke or  https://www.instagram.com/richfettke/ RealWealth: @realwealth or https://www.instagram.com/realwealth/   Sources:   1 - https://www.investopedia.com/what-to-expect-in-the-markets-this-week-06-24-2024-8666609   2 - https://www.forbes.com/sites/simonmoore/2024/06/23/what-to-expect-from-junes-inflation-data/   3 - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/jobless-claims-drop-to-238-000-but-stay-near-10-month-high-eafa6fec?mod=search_headline   4 - https://www.mpamag.com/us/mortgage-industry/market-updates/builder-sentiment-sinks-to-7-month-low-nahb/494075   5 - https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/18/economist-sahm-who-devised-recession-rule-says-the-fed-is-playing-with-fire-.html   6 - https://www.freddiemac.com/pmms   7 - https://zillow.mediaroom.com/2024-06-18-The-U-S-is-now-short-4-5-million-homes-as-the-housing-deficit-grows   8 - https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/21/housing-affordability-more-single-family-rentals-being-built-in-us.html

The Real Estate News Brief: Paused but Poised for a Rate Cut, Amazon Housing Initiative, Farmland or Utopian City?

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending June 15th, 2024... reaction from the Fed on what appears to be more encouraging news about inflation, Amazon’s big contribution to affordable housing, and the voter initiative that could decide the fate of a utopian city in California.   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. Before we get started, I wanted to let you know about brand new homes and duplexes for sale in Jacksonville Fl. where the builder is buying down the rate to as low as 4.25%.

The Consumer Price Index, or CPI, came out on Tuesday, showing no increase in May from the previous month. That’s a sign that inflation is, in fact, cooling. Analysts had expected to see an increase. The core rate was also below expectations with a .2% increase for the month. The annual rate for both came in at 3.4%...   ...You can read more about the stories in this episode by following links in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com.     Links:   1 - https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/12/cpi-report-june-inflation.html   2 - https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/13/ppi-report-wholesale-prices-unexpectedly-fell-0point2percent-in-may.html   3 - https://www.cnbc.com/2024/06/12/fed-meeting-today-on-interest-rate.html   4 - https://www.marketwatch.com/story/jobless-claims-jump-to-highest-level-in-ten-months-08d4ae46?mod=economy-politics   5 - https://www.freddiemac.com/pmms   6 - https://www.bisnow.com/national/news/affordable-housing/amazon-commits-14b-to-multibillion-dollar-affordable-housing-fund-124665?utm_source=outbound_pub_7&utm_campaign=outbound_issue_77813&utm_content=outbound_link_7&utm_medium=email   7 - https://therealdeal.com/sanfrancisco/2024/06/12/california-forever-in-solano-county-heads-to-november-ballot/

Dallas Poised for New Growth Spurt as Wall Street Rival!

Dallas Poised for New Growth Spurt as Wall Street Rival!

Dallas may soon have another feather in its cap when it comes to attracting people, businesses and growth to the region. Some of the world’s largest financial institutions just announced the launch of a new stock exchange in Dallas that could be a catalyst for more business and population growth. Some are even speculating that the Texas Stock Exchange will help turn Dallas into a global banking hub that could rival Wall Street.   Hi I’m Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. Please sign up for a RealWealth membership at newsforinvestors.com to find out how Dallas is benefiting RealWealth investors. We have a property team there that can help you find rental properties in high-demand areas.    As for this new Texas Stock Exchange, Mike Rosa of the Dallas Chamber of Commerce told Bisnow: “This might tip the scales” and attract even more corporate relocations to Texas. The Longhorn State is already known as a business-friendly state with a low cost of living and no state income tax.    Bisnow points out that the business environment that is attracting so many companies to move to Texas is also great for a new stock exchange. Commercial site selection expert John Boyd lists the advantages as a great mid-continent location in the central time zone, airport and seaport connectivity, and already existing financial and cybersecurity companies. Plus, he says of the biggest backers: “Can you think of two better supporters than BlackRock and Citadel?”...   ...At RealWealth, we have been watching the real estate boom in Dallas for a long time, and it’s still going.

The Real Estate News Brief: U.S. Housing Inventory Returning to Normal and Fastest Growing Markets for Apartments

The Real Estate News Brief: U.S. Housing Inventory Returning to Normal and Fastest Growing Markets for Apartments

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending June 8th, 2024... why a strong jobs report discourages the Fed from cutting rates, why Americans may have an easier time finding a home to buy, and which metro is experiencing the most apartment construction.   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. I encourage you to take a moment to sign up for a free RealWealth membership at newsforinvestors.com. Once you’re signed up, sign in and check out our webinar page. Coming up this week is a webinar on asset protection and estate planning for millennials through boomers. Sign up and join us!   Back to our economic news. We begin with news from this past week that gave us a strong jobs report and less reason to expect a near-term interest rate cut. Fed officials are meeting this coming week so we may get a clue about when they may cut rates, but economists believe the strong jobs report will give them reason to hold off on a rate cut since it alleviates some amount of worry about how the high-interest rate environment is impacting company decisions on hiring. And inflation has not yet returns to the Fed’s 2% target...   ...Despite that slight drop in occupancy, RealPage researchers believe the market is balanced due to solid job and population growth.

Return to Normal? Big Uptrend in FOR SALE Homes

Return to Normal? Big Uptrend in FOR SALE Homes

It’s a breath of fresh air to see that the number of homes for sale is heading back “up” toward normal. We’ve heard for so long about a tight inventory that’s making homes more expensive and harder to find. But a new Realtor.com report is showing a sharp rise in for sale listings that some real estate experts are calling an “incredible trend.”   Hi I’m Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you’re new to real estate or looking for ways to expand your experience, sign up for a free RealWealth membership at newsforinvestors.com, and check for upcoming webinars. We’ve got one scheduled for June 13th on “Insider Secrets for Investing with Your Retirement Funds.” You can see the full calendar once you sign into our portal as a member. And subscribe to the podcast while you've got a minute and leave us a review!    Now back to Realtor.com’s Monthly Housing Market Trends Report for the month of May. The report shows the total number of active listings as more than 35% higher than a year ago in May. That’s after seven months of growth that includes a 6.2% bump for the month of May and, before that, a 12.2% bump for the month of April.   Other data from the report shows that the median price of a home has remained stable with just .3% of growth for the year and a median price of $442,500. But there has been a 3.8% increase in the price per square foot. That points to a larger number of smaller, more affordable homes that are being listed with a higher price per square foot...   Links:   1 - https://www.realtor.com/research/may-2024-data/   2 - https://www.realtor.com/news/trends/housing-inventory-returning-to-normal-may-2024-economists-say/

The Real Estate News Brief: Return of the Zero-Down Mortgage?, SFR Rents are Rising and Renters are Staying Put

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending June 1st, 2024... we take a look at how the latest inflation report might influence the Fed’s rate-cutting decision, the return of the zero-down mortgage, and two new rent growth reports for single-family homes and apartments.    Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors.

The latest inflation report reignited hope for a rate cut this year. The Fed’s preferred Personal Consumption Expenditure index for April shows the overall inflation rate up .3%, which economists had forecast. But the core rate, which strips out prices for food and gas, was a surprise, at an increase of .2%. That’s the smallest monthly increase for the core rate this year. The annual overall rate is now 2.7% and the core rate, 2.8%. Both are inching closer to the 2% level that the Fed is targeting...   ...That’s it for today.

Why the Increase in Single-Family Home Sales to Investors?

Why the Increase in Single-Family Home Sales to Investors?

Investor purchases of single-family homes increased last month. According to a new Redfin report shows investors captured more of the single-family market in the first quarter than they did a year earlier. And it was the first time for this kind of activity since mid-2022.   I’m Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you’d like to increase your share of the real estate market, join me on our upcoming real estate tour on June 8th in San Antonio. We'll have a meet and greet the night before somewhere very cool and then tour properties, including brand new duplexes and quads that come with a 4.25% interest rate. Yes you heard me right. RealWealth has negotiated a deal with the builder to buy down rates, so check it out at newsforinvestors.com. You’ll find our upcoming webinars and property tours under the  “Connect” tab.    And you won't be alone. As the Redfin report shows, investors are scooping up as many residential properties as they can. Redfin says that investors bought about 44,000 homes in the first quarter or 18.7% of all the homes purchased in the US. That’s up from 17.9% the year before, and represents a .5% increase.    The numbers represent all homes including single-family homes, townhomes, condos and multifamilies, but Redfin says the surge was mostly driven by investors buying single-family homes. Redfin says that single-family homes accounted for 69.9% of all the residential properties bought by investors. The analysis included a look at 39 of the largest US metros by both large and small investors...   ...You’ll find a link to the Redfin report in the show notes at newsforinvestors.com.   Don’t forget to subscribe to the podcast!   Thanks for joining me for Real Estate News for Investors.

Members of the Federal Open Market Committee noted that inflation has come down a lot over the past year but is currently stalled. Several expressed a willingness to raise rates further if necessary, although some Fed officials, including Fed Chief Jerome Powell, have said publicly that they don’t think their next move will be a rate hike. Short-term rates have been in a range of 5.25% to 5.5% since July of last year...   ...That’s it for today.
