Takeaways

Christmas came early when the fed announced they were DONE with fed hikes and can start talking about cuts!

Compared to last year at this time, it is night and day difference. The market withstood the blows from the fed and is poised to have a big year in 2024. So what does this mean for everyone considering purchasing a home? 7% interest rates are your best friends right now...Marry the home and date the rate...This applies more than ever. 

We could be at the doorstep of another incredibly competitive and tight seller's market with bidding wars and price increases. Only time will tell but it appears mortgage rates are heading one direction and it's the direction we all like to see! 

Announcement: I am changing the podcast name BACK to the original Rush to Fail podcast! I know I know...Probably not the best look but I am going back and sticking with the original name of the podcast. Looking forward to 2024 and the upcoming guests lined up for the show!

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Scott Bowen from Roswell, GA https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-bowen-re/

Scott is that millionaire next door that you would never know due to his quiet and humble demeanor and servant mindset. But make no mistake about it, Scott has spent close to 2 full decades investing in real estate mainly in the Southeast markets of Alabama & Georgia and he has learned a thing or two over the years of consistently buying every single year that has enabled him to enjoy the fruits of dollar cost averaging & compound interest.

Scott shared his love for the people of Uganda and he has been serving them ever since visiting years ago. Funny enough, he is now the second person from this area who has ties to Uganda. I think I need to travel there with him next time to see what the fuss is about!

If you would like to be coached by someone who will help you get into real estate and buy your first deal, I highly recommend reaching out to him. He is an amazing guy, and I was fortunate to spend some time getting to know more about Scott and his story. Enjoy the show.

I am making my predictions for the housing market in 2024. No turning back now! Am I right? Time will tell. I have spent hundreds of hours this year listening, reading, investing, watching, and most importantly actively investing every week to come to these conclusions that I share on the podcast. To summarize: I think everyone has been asking the WRONG question. Instead of asking WHEN will the housing crash occur, we should be asking, how do we adapt with home prices and affordability issues remaining where they are for the foreseeable future? These home prices are here to stay in 2024. We all know that the rates will go up and down but most doomsdayers were hoping that 8% rates would take down pricing. It hasn't. But why? This is what I cover... Excited to hear what you all think!
