In this engaging episode of "Real Estate Jerky," hosts Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly dive deep into the pressing issues surrounding California's housing market. They discuss the significant shortfall in housing construction relative to demand, with a particular focus on how this gap has led to overpriced markets in cities like San Jose, Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Fresno. The hosts express their concerns over the economic policies impacting the real estate landscape and the challenges posed by high interest rates and market uncertainties that discourage builders. Throughout the episode, Ed and Mike pepper in humor, notably regarding the absurdity of commuting from Modesto to Fresno for more affordable living options. They also shed light on the real-world consequences of the housing crisis, including the strain on middle and low-income families and the hurdles posed by obtaining insurance for properties in high-risk areas. The discussion also veers into the political realm, urging listeners to participate in upcoming elections to initiate change, and highlights the emotional and financial impacts on renters facing eviction due to landlords selling properties. The hosts share their personal experiences and emphasize the daily challenges in navigating real estate transactions, from dealing with both inexperienced and seasoned agents to handling problematic paperwork and unclear loan terms. To wrap up, Ed and Mike detail their ongoing commitment to supporting veterans through their initiatives, planning future events to further this cause. They offer thanks to their audience, provide contact information, and remind listeners to tune into their show on Powertalk 1360 KFIV.

Our hearts are also set on community issues: bridging the generational wealth gap, engaging with the local Love Modesto event, and discussing policy changes that could alter the VA loan landscape.
