June 26, 2026 The Real Estate Comeback Didn't Happen (Yet)
2026 was looking to be the year Southern California real estate came roaring back. The early data looked right. Then everything changed when the bomb dropped. Is it too late for the housing market to come back?
Why did new listings drop in every single Southern California county this year? Which county is seeing the multifamily market post its highest pending sales despite higher mortgage rates? Which county set a new median price record... and which one is seeing negative numbers for both house and condo values? Which county is closest to a buyer's market in SoCal according to Altos Research... and where is it a "strong seller's market"? Which California county is bucking the trend thanks to big AI money?
The charts tell you what the market is doing. They don't tell you what to do with the properties you own. If that's the question you're sitting with, send me your addresses and we'll analyze them straight... no pressure, no obligation.

June 18, 2026 They Sold the Property a Year Ago. The Tenant's Lawsuit Showed Up Anyway.
You sold the property a year ago. The tenant's lawsuit just showed up anyway.I sat down with personal injury trial attorney Nick Kohan — who spent nearly a decade defending insurance companies before switching sides — to break down what every California property owner needs to know before someone gets hurt. This one isn't just for landlords... if a delivery driver slips on your steps, you have the same exposure.✅ How can you be sued for an injury on a property you already sold?✅ What's the one insurance clause that protects you for claims during the previous owner's watch?✅ Why might an LLC give landlords a dangerous false sense of security?✅ What should you do the moment that "I got hurt" text comes in — and what should you never do?✅ Why does a landlord who's only 40% at fault still write a massive check in California?✅ How long does an injured party actually have to file... and why is "two years" not the whole story?📌 Subscribe so you know the next time Nick is on! 👉 https://www.wireassociates.com/newsletter/ 📞 Schedule one-on-one call with Christian Walsh to discuss a plan for your portfolio 👉 https://calendly.com/wireassociates🏠 ➡️ Don’t BUY or SELL in SoCal without clicking here first…no pressure, no obligation assistance from us 👉 https://www.wireassociates.com/contact/🏠 ➡️ Thinking of BUYING or SELLING anywhere else in the US?

June 08, 2026 Emergency Rent Rules Just Ended in LA. What Comes Next?
The emergency rent rules that capped LA County rents for the past 17 months just expired... so can landlords finally raise rents and get back to normal? Not so fast.
Christian Walsh sits down with Rafael Azizyan of California Property Law Group to break down what just changed, what's still in effect, and where landlords are marching into potentially six-figure mistakes... right now.
Penal Code 396 just expired across LA County... so what are you actually allowed to charge when a tenant moves out?
Why are evictions suddenly getting contested more often... and what role is AI playing in the courtroom?
What happens to your nonpayment case if a free tenant attorney discovers an illegal rent increase... even one a previous owner gave?
If you raised rent over the cap in the last 17 months, what's the one move that fixes it before it becomes a "fat refund"?
Why does the most common way landlords lose an eviction have nothing to do with habitability?
If you own rental property anywhere in California... or you're thinking about renting one out... this one's for you.

May 29, 2026 Foreclosure Starts Are Rising. Context Is What's Missing.
Notices of Default in LA County are up 166.8% year over year.

May 28, 2026 SB 9 in 2026: Is California's Lot Split Law Dead or Alive?
When SB 9 passed in 2022, we were one of the first channels to cover it! We released multiple videos, had dozens and dozens of conversations with California property owners sitting on large single family lots — and almost every single one hit the same wall. They couldn't find a civil engineer who actually knew how to navigate the process and would stand behind the results.Tonight we're fixing that. Gloria Riechers is the COO of Riechers Engineering — the firm her father Peter built over 45 years, including time as city engineer for Calistoga and town engineer for Yountville. He sat on the other side of the approval counter. When they tell you how a city is going to respond to an SB 9 application, they're not guessing. The firm now has 65 approvals statewide, 240+ total projects underway, and accounts for roughly a third of all SB 9 project approvals in California.✅ Is SB 9 still valid in 2026 — and what happened to all the lawsuits and charter city pushback? ✅ Can you do a lot split if you have a tenant, an existing mortgage, or a pool on the parcel? ✅ What does a lot split actually cost, how long does it take, and what does the net value increase look like? ✅ Which properties look promising but are actually deal killers — and what disqualifies a lot on paper? ✅ Does splitting your lot trigger a property tax reassessment in California?🔗 Check your property's eligibility - 👉 https://riechersengineering.com/sb9-eligibility-check/ 🏘️ Tired of being a California landlord?

May 21, 2026 The Worst Ways to Pass Down California Real Estate
Most California property owners think they've handled their estate plan with shortcuts…and don’t need a trust. They've added a child (or two) to title, signed a quit claim, set up a Transfer on Death Deed, signed a will or relied on joint tenancy. It feels smart. It feels cheap.It also destroys generational wealth.In this episode of Real Estate Disclosure, estate planning attorney Kevin Snyder of Snyder Law breaks down the four shortcuts California property owners keep taking — and adds a bonus fifth one for which most people don’t understand the risks. We open with a real client story: a property that passed through two generations of quit claim deeds, and the income tax bill waiting at the closing table because of it.If you own multiple properties — inherited, accumulated, or both — this is the conversation to have before you take the "easy" route.✅ Why does adding your child to title before you die almost always backfire?✅ Which shortcut wipes out the step-up in basis your family was counting on (and creates a huge tax bill)?✅ Is joint tenancy actually protecting your spouse... or setting up the next disaster?✅ Why do Transfer on Death Deeds and "just a will" fail the families?✅ What's the fifth shortcut Kevin sees seniors take that locks the property away from everyone — including themselves?Christian Walsh is a Residential Portfolio Strategist and Broker Associate at WIRE Associates / Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, CalRE #01804983, based in Newport Beach, CA. He works with serious Southern California property owners managing complex, mixed portfolios across counties, entities, and generations.Kevin Snyder is the founding attorney at Snyder Law, with offices in Irvine, Pasadena, Concord, and San Jose.

May 07, 2026 The Real 2026 California Eviction Timeline — Filing to Lockout, Step by Step
If you own rental property in California and you can't answer this with a real number based on where your property sits, you're flying blind on one of the biggest financial risks in your portfolio.How long does it actually take to evict a non-paying tenant in California right now? Six weeks? Six months? Longer?In this episode of Real Estate Disclosure, I sit down with Kenny Lim of California Property Law Group — one of the busiest unlawful detainer attorneys in the state — to walk through the real, current 2026 eviction timeline, step by step. We pull back the curtain on what's actually happening in the courtrooms, where the delays are stacking up, and why one mistake on a notice or one wrong move by a property manager can send your entire case back to zero. Yes, we answered this (and more)...✅ How long does an uncontested eviction actually take from filing to sheriff lockout?✅ What's changed in the courts since LA City started funding tenant defense attorneys?✅ Why are procedural arguments — not the merits — driving most case outcomes right now?✅ What's the real timeline difference between LA County and Orange County?✅ Why is the attorney fee provision in your lease quietly working against you?✅ When does cash-for-keys actually make financial sense — and when is it the wrong move?✅ What happens when a tenant claims they "didn't know" four months into the process?✅ Why does intent matter when withdrawing a unit from the rental market?✅ How do the Olympics and World Cup factor into your eviction timeline?And for the first time, we also took a live caller — a property manager in Riverside dealing with a real unknown-occupants issue — and Kenny walked him through the answer in real time.This is the conversation every California landlord needs to hear before the next rent check doesn't show up. Watch to the end... we left an arbitration cliffhanger you'll want the answer to.🏘️ Tired of being a California landlord?

May 01, 2026 Sorry Crash Bros...No SoCal Foreclosure Crisis
Notices of Default in LA County are up 175% year over year. Across the SoCal region, they're up 82%.So is this 2008 again?Before the Crash Bros start screaming, one of the most respected foreclosure analysts in the country, Rick Sharga, sat down with me on Real Estate Disclosure last night and laid out exactly where foreclosure activity is concentrating. Spoiler: it's not where the headlines suggest.I also rebuilt the Southern California Foreclosure Report from the ground up — new dashboard, county-by-county data, downloadable PDFs, and a 2011 perspective toggle so you can see today's numbers in real historical context.✅ Where is foreclosure activity actually concentrating nationally — and why? ✅ What does Rick Sharga's "smile states" theory mean for SoCal? ✅ How do you use the rebuilt dashboard to track your own county every month? ✅ What should SoCal property owners and capital-ready buyers be watching going forward?If you own SoCal real estate or you're sitting on capital waiting for the right moment, this is the data you need to be watching every single month on this channel.And if this has you thinking about your portfolio's timing or exit strategy, reach out.

April 30, 2026 No, BlackRock Isn't Buying Every Home in America — The Real Story
There's a foreclosure wave forming in a specific corner of the country that almost nobody is talking about. If you own real estate, invest in real estate, or are even thinking about your next move — this episode of Real Estate Disclosure covers what the data actually says, not what the headlines are screaming.I sat down with Rick Sharga, founder and CEO of CJ Patrick Company, one of the most-cited housing data voices in the country along with my parents Dennis and Teresa Walsh of YourHome.Academy, who talk to real estate agents in markets across the country every week. Together we walked through what's really happening as we head deeper into 2026.✅ Which states are stacking up the conditions for an FHA-driven foreclosure wave — and what does that map actually look like? ✅ Is BlackRock really buying every home in America (and is that even the right company)? ✅ What did the Iran war and the Q1 weather actually do to home sales momentum heading into spring? ✅ How are student loan delinquencies quietly setting up a second hit to the same regions already under pressure? ✅ Where is affordability genuinely improving — and where are prices still falling year over year? ✅ What's the one capital gains rule from 1997 that's keeping millions of homeowners frozen in place?If you own multiple properties, you're sitting on equity, or you're trying to figure out whether to hold, sell, or restructure in the next one to twenty-four months — this is the conversation worth your hour.🔗 Follow Rick Sharga: https://cjpatrick.com/ | @RickSharga on social 🔗 Visit Dennis and Teresa Walsh at https://yourhome.academy/📞 Free Consultion with Christian 👉 https://calendly.com/wireassociates📌 Don’t miss another update!
