Just when we thought it was handled, inflation is starting to surge back—and mortgage rates are already adjusting fast. But, for real estate investors, there’s a silver lining. Some markets are seeing rising rents and lower home prices, making it an ideal buying scenario for investors if they can hang on to the property during these high-rate times.
It’s been a wild week in the housing market, and we’re unpacking everything in this headline episode.
First, we’ll talk about the new inflation numbers. You probably already know they’re not great, but could they force the Fed to resume raising rates? We have a…lively…discussion about it. Next, investors lose millions of dollars in the newest real estate “scam” run by a trusted community member. This isn’t something new, so we’re sharing the exact steps you should take before ever wiring someone money for a real estate deal.
Big buyers gain ground on a new housing bill as an amended version drops language many investors had considered a lock. Finally, we’re going over the cities with the fastest rising (and falling) rent prices in 2026—and which markets are seeing the perfect storm of rising rents and declining home prices.
In This Episode We Cover
Inflation surges, but what effect will it have on mortgage rates?
The cities that saw the highest rent increases in 2026 (and where rents are falling)
The newest passive investing “scam” that’s costing real estate investors millions
Big buyers aren’t getting banned? A new update to the latest housing bill
The argument for the Fed reversing course and raising rates once again
And So Much More!

New 2026 housing market forecasts have changed…dramatically. A major downgrade for home sales from NAR, a home price forecast revision from Zillow, and a new mortgage rate range from Fannie Mae. The industry is quickly growing much more anxious.
At the start of the year, the consensus was for modest price growth, lower mortgage rates, and improved home sale numbers—that’s not where we’re at right now. Between inflation fears resurfacing, interest rates climbing again, and major geopolitical earthquakes, just months into the year, real estate forecasters are changing course.
Today, we’re going through all the top forecasts for home prices, mortgage rates, and home sales from Fannie Mae, JP Morgan, NAR, and Zillow.
But what about Dave’s 2026 forecast? How has it held up through wars, oil price spikes, and a changing Federal Reserve? Dave reviews his exact 2026 housing market forecast and whether he would change it now.
In This Episode We Cover
Updated home sales, home price, and mortgage rate predictions from major players in real estate
Zillow’s latest home price downgrade and why we’re inching toward falling home values
NAR slashes their home sales forecast significantly, but what do they say it’ll do to prices?
Housing crash consensus? What major forecasters and economists are saying about the chances
Reviewing Dave’s 2026 housing market forecast and whether he’s changing it in this new economic climate

One type of investment property is experiencing severe undersupply with a 20-year demographic tailwind on the way. Demand is growing, new supply isn’t even hitting a quarter of the need, and investors are writing off much of this industry as already past its peak. Is this a strategic opportunity to invest in an asset so obvious it’s been overlooked?
Of course, we’re talking about senior living investments.
Jerry Vinci, founder of CCR Growth, growth partners in senior housing, saw firsthand why investing in senior living is so crucial. Jerry watched all four of his grandparents move into senior living and witnessed the chaos, stress, and struggle of navigating such a crucial time in their lives.
Now, Jerry works to help underwrite and optimize senior living facilities, and as an industry insider, he’s seeing a change.
Demand is growing…fast. Even the youngest boomers are turning 65 in 2030, and the pipeline of 80+ year olds needing housing is starting to reach a bottleneck. Today, we’re talking about the wave of demand coming (and expected to sustain for two more decades), how investors can get started if they have no experience, the questions to ask before investing in a senior living facility, and why in senior living your market is more crucial than traditional real estate investing.
In This Episode We Cover
The “20-year cycle” that could funnel millions more Baby Boomers into senior housing
Who should be investing in small senior housing properties (5-10 residents)
The different types of senior living investments (from independent living to memory care and more)
Ask these questions to any operator you may be investing with
The massive supply bottleneck that cannot keep pace with senior living demand

The national debt just hit a dangerous new milestone, surpassing GDP—and the last time this happened, we just ended a world war. You already know the U.S. is heavily in debt—most Americans do—but nobody is asking the right question: at what point does this spiral out of control and force something in the economy to break?
Today, Dave is unpacking the next steps and the scenarios that could unfold once our debt reaches a point where our options to solve this become dangerous. And the effects could be massive for real estate investors, unless they begin preparing themselves now.
First, we’ll go over how we even got here, what makes up the majority of our national debt, and what we can cut to end this out-of-control spending. Next, the two scenarios, one of which could put real estate investors in a dangerous position. Dave is preparing, starting now, even if the worst effects don’t hit for years.
With no sign of either political party meaningfully lowering the debt, this isn’t a matter of “if” real estate is affected, but when.
In This Episode We Cover
The dangerous new milestone our national debt has just hit (can we reverse course?)
What real estate investors need to start doing now to protect their future selves
Why mortgage rates could “spiral” up as the U.S. looks for a solution to pay off debt
Who’s to blame? Which administrations caused the debt to grow
Where 75% of our tax revenue is going (why the debt keeps rising)

U.S. home prices have officially turned negative. For many months, sellers have resisted adjusting to current market conditions—until now. This could bring short-term pain for flippers and sellers, but overall, it’s a step in the right direction for a housing market that desperately needs prices to soften before it can become unstuck.
We’re back with more headlines from last week, including new data that suggests foreclosures are quietly approaching pre-pandemic levels. Inflation remains high, and affordability continues to be an issue, but how close are we to seeing serious distress?
On the topic of affordability, home builders are no longer being held to the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code, meaning new construction homes could become available at an even more affordable price point in the future. Meanwhile, wages are up. Despite rent growth remaining relatively flat, renters have more breathing room, which is ultimately a good sign for the overall health of the housing market, as well as for investors who want more predictable rental income.
In This Episode We Cover
Sellers are finally backing down as national home prices turn negative
New investing opportunities from rising foreclosures and bank-owned homes
Why new construction could become even more affordable in the future
Home builders get a big break as energy-efficiency standards are rolled back
Why higher wages are a big win for investors, despite stagnant rent prices

We’ve got new data on the Spring housing market, and it’s…well, complicated.
The monthly data shows more of the same: a sluggish housing market with negative home price growth.
But zoom in, and the weekly data tells a different story. Pending sales and mortgage applications are ticking higher, and we’ve just crossed into what could be the strongest buyer’s market we’ve seen in years, with sellers outnumbering buyers in 38 of the 49 largest major metro areas. This can only mean two things: deals are getting better, and investors have more negotiating power than they’ve had in a while.
As for whether a Spring homebuying season is taking shape, it depends on who you ask. Tensions in the Middle East, surging inflation, and housing affordability challenges are keeping many would-be homebuyers in limbo.
But investors who have the means to buy, are actively looking in strong buyer’s markets, and are analyzing deals conservatively are seeing a new window of opportunity.
The question is, how long will that window stay open?
In This Episode We Cover
Why real estate deals are getting better, despite a sluggish housing market
What “positive” weekly data means for the potential of a Spring homebuying season
How tensions in the Middle East and rising inflation numbers could affect housing
How investors can take advantage as the U.S. flips to a strong buyer’s market
What happens to mortgage rates once new Fed chair Kevin Warsh is confirmed

Buyers are waiting out the market, mortgage rates are rising again, and the economy seems as unstable as ever. So why are house flippers feeling bullish about investing in 2026? A new report has surfaced showing an overwhelmingly optimistic view of flipping houses, with active flippers registering stronger bullish signals than in previous months.
The question is: what are house flippers seeing in the market that we aren’t?

Something is brewing at the Federal Reserve, and it’s starting to get ugly.
For many months, President Trump has been pressuring the Fed to lower the federal funds rate and has since named a new Fed chair nominee to take the reins after Jerome Powell's term ends. But what seemed like a straightforward transition has quickly evolved into a nasty political showdown—a “standoff” between the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Senate Banking Committee.
The drama could drag out for months, with Powell’s investigation being prolonged and nominee Kevin Warsh’s confirmation being delayed.
But behind all of it, there’s a much more serious issue being threatened:
Fed independence.
The Federal Reserve’s ability to act independently of political influences is crucial for creating monetary policy in the best long-term interest of the country, and it’s being jeopardized.
For investors, this isn’t just political theater—it’s a signal. If markets lose faith in the Fed’s independence, the ripple effect could reshape not just interest rates, mortgage rates, and the housing market, but the entire U.S. economy. And it’s unfolding right now.
In This Episode We Cover
What happens when the Federal Reserve loses its “independence”
Why the current Fed power struggle affects much more than mortgage rates
The “battle” that is holding up new Fed chairman Kevin Warsh’s nomination
Why the Federal Reserve’s hands are tied when it comes to cutting interest rates
Behind the “drama” unfolding between the Senate Banking Committee and the DOJ

For years, we’ve been promised that a “tsunami” of homes would hit the market as Baby Boomers age, move into senior housing, and pass away. We’ve been waiting…and waiting, but we’re still millions of housing units short. Yet, even without a “silver tsunami,” another trend could push us toward a housing supply glut in the future—new builds.
Builder sentiment has dropped to a seven-month low. Homes are sitting empty, huge concessions are being offered, but the buyers are few and far between. Longer absorption periods mean higher holding costs for builders, prompting larger incentives to sell these homes. But, with mortgage rates bouncing back up to the mid-six percent range, who wants to buy? Very few Americans, and that’s the problem.
Between Baby Boomers slowly trickling inventory into the housing market and builders creating more supply than (financeable) demand, is this the tipping point where we go from an undersupplied to an oversupplied housing market? In this headline episode, we’re getting into it, plus a “ban” on one of America’s hottest real estate assets.
In This Episode We Cover
Is the silver tsunami ever going to hit? Why Baby Boomer homes aren’t reaching the market
Where home prices have the highest chance of falling if the Baby Boomer supply hits the market
The major opportunity for real estate investors to pick up seriously discounted new-build homes
A new real estate asset “ban” that’s affecting over 15 states in the country
Will we flip from a housing deficit to oversupply?

This could have profound effects on the housing market, and if you work or invest in real estate, you need to know what's coming next.
Energy shocks, high inflation, new job numbers, the worst consumer sentiment in 70 years…it’s all hitting us in a single week, and the housing market is already reacting. After months of affordability gains, mortgage rates jumped back to 6.4% in response to the oil price spike and, by proxy, high inflation readings. The Fed has already made the bulk of its rate cuts, so is there any room left for interest rates to go down?
Home sales are already slowing, and consumers are feeling the worst about the economy in 70 years. This will impact the housing market, and it’s not good news for agents, brokers, lenders, or anyone involved in transactions. But for investors, we’re being given yet another opportunity to buy deals…and the discounts could be getting deeper.
The window to act is widening even more. Here's how to position yourself before it closes.
In This Episode We Cover
New inflation rate readings and why the CPI rose close to 1% in just a month
Mortgage rates are stuck: why they can’t fall much more, even with a new Fed chair
Latest home sales data that shows how the housing market is already reacting
Why more and more investors are getting pessimistic about the housing market
Will home prices crash? Here’s what’s holding them stable right now
What investors need to do to prepare themselves right now to get better deals
