In Episode 283, Ted and Owen break down what’s actually moving the real estate market right now—interest rates, the noise around the Fed chair, and the nonstop headlines about institutional investors. The guys talk through how some sellers are holding off on listing because they think rates will drop soon—and how the “wait and see” mindset can stall your momentum.

They also cover the reality that even if leadership changes, rates aren’t controlled by one person. The bigger picture still comes back to the bond market and the mechanics behind interest rates.

On institutional investors, they discuss the idea of restricting publicly traded companies from buying single-family homes, why there are likely workarounds, and why it may not solve the real supply/cost problems.

Owen shares a real lending snapshot: 6.95% on a commercial refi for a fourplex, 25-year amortization, 80% LTV—and the bigger point: deals (and lenders) still exist if you know where to look. 

They also throw out a call for help: if someone can run the show’s X/Twitter presence and do it well, they want to hear from you.

And they tease the next Wednesday episode featuring Omaha investor David Chan and the wild backstory behind his journey.
