With interest rates hovering around 7% and housing prices still soaring, does it make sense to be a homeowner? Or would it be wiser to rent, spend less money, and enjoy more lifestyle flexibility? And how will the lawsuits against NAR impact the cost of buying a home? Will they help bring prices down by reducing real estate agent fees? These are hot topics for American home buyers and investors. In this episode, you’ll hear from a guest who’s made it his business to democratize real estate agent fees. He also believes that, in many cases, renting is a better financial option than buying. What you’ll hear in this interview is a lively discussion about how the lawsuits against the National Association of Realtors might impact home prices, housing inventory, and real estate agent compensation. The debate also heats up when we discuss the virtues of real estate investing versus stock market investing. If you know me, you know where I stand on that issue! My guest, Jack Ryan, is the founder and CEO of REX Real Estate, which is a startup proptech brokerage that provides a digital alternative to the traditional real estate agent model. Jack has an impressive educational background with degrees from Dartmouth College, Harvard Business School, and Harvard Law School. He’s a former Goldman Sachs partner who transitioned into a high school teaching position on the South Side of Chicago before he founded REX. He now resides in Austin, Texas. You’ll find his book on Amazon: “Bringing Adam Smith into the American Home: A Case Against Home Ownership”.

Rent vs Homeownership: Is the Answer that Simple?

Tax deductions are a big deal for real estate investors and there’s one important deduction that’s dangling from a cliff right now. It’s the 100% bonus depreciation that’s currently hung up in the Senate, past the date mentioned in this interview. But our guest, Brandon Hall, will fill you in on exactly how this deduction works and why it’s so important.  He’ll also dive into several other very useful tax topics including how you can qualify as a real estate professional for additional tax savings, whether real estate investors are experiencing more audits right now, and what situations might increase your risk of an audit. Brandon is founder and managing partner at Hall CPA and is also known as The Real Estate CPA (www.therealestatecpa.com). He studied accounting and finance at East Carolina University and specializes in creating “tax smart” portfolios for clients. He’s also a real estate investor with more than two dozen units. Previous employment includes PwC and Ernst & Young.  Brandon’s team recently held a virtual live event called the Tax, Legal & Wealth Summit May 2024. I was among the speakers.
