“Tariff Tuesday” just hit, and the economic ripple effects are already in motion. The stock market saw a significant sell-off, key recession indicators are flashing, and mortgage rates dropped yet again. These shifts could have a major impact on the economy, but will they spill over into real estate? And as an investor, could your costs rise even more?

In this episode, Dave breaks down what actually happened on “Tariff Tuesday,” which tariffs were imposed, and how they could shape the months ahead. We’ll cover how different countries are responding and what this could mean for inflation, the stock market, and what you really want to hear about—mortgage rates. Could rates continue their months-long decline, or are we bottoming out for 2025?

These new tariffs directly affect real estate investors and anyone within the industry, but is Dave changing his investing strategy for 2025? Should you second-guess your stock portfolio and search for more stable assets as the market rollercoaster continues? We’re getting into it in this episode!
