Real Estate Funds

Real Estate Funds

An investment fund is an entity formed to pool investor money and collectively purchase securities such as stocks, bonds, or real estate. Thus, a real estate investment fund is a combined source of capital used to make real estate investments. Real estate investment funds share some similarities with Real Estate Investment Trusts in that they're both pooled sources of capital used to invest in real estate. However, there are some key differences between them, including the fact that REITs are corporations that must distribute 90% of their taxable income to shareholders to maintain their tax-advantaged status with the IRS. Real estate funds don't have to comply with those rules; thus, many earn returns for their investors via capital appreciation instead of dividend payments. In this episode, we bring on guest speaker Bridger Pennington to explain his experience with Real Estate Funds. Bridger currently serves as the founder of 3 funds focused in debt and real estate which have raised and deployed millions of dollars. Listen in!

Rates, Rates, Rates

Rates, Rates, Rates

In the past, many people have believed that rising interest rates are a very bad thing for the real estate market. After all, who wants to pay more interest on the money they borrow to buy houses, right? However, this isn’t entirely true. As of April 21, 2022, the average mortgage rate is at 5.15% This may be alarming as a sudden rise is observed in the past weeks. But, Mortgage historical data shows that at 5%, we are still remarkably low compared to the previous years leading up to the pandemic, And a mortgage today with a fixed rate for the next 30 years is still considerably cheaper than historical comparisons, Thus buying a property now is still at a bargain considering the inevitable growth of the overall U.S market in the next years. Listen in as our experts discuss what is happening with rates in the current real estate market!

The Power of Co-Signing

The Power of Co-Signing

If you have poor credit but still want to get a mortgage, adding a non-occupant co-signer to your loan can help you qualify for financing. But the decision to co-sign on a loan or add one to your mortgage isn’t one you should make without knowing all the facts. So what is a co-signer? A co-signer is someone who agrees to take on the financial responsibility of the primary borrower’s loan if they can no longer make payments, and is usually a family member, friend, spouse or parent. In this episode our guest speakers go over their experience with utilizing a co-signer and what you should know before venturing down that avenue!

Buy Now & Wait or Wait to Buy?

Buy Now & Wait or Wait to Buy?

Why does the current housing market feel like you are on a roller coaster ride in a fun house you might ask? Well currently there are 300,000 (ish) active listings in the US. For the market to be "balanced" we need around 1.5m. That's like walking into the grocery store and 80% of the shelves are empty. Interest rates will see 3 hikes in 2022. Roughly 1% of interest is equivalent to 10% of price when it comes to your monthly payment.

We are actually seeing people who purchased just LAST YEAR make a SIZABLE amount of equity in their homes should they need to sell this quickly.  If you are on the fence, it is time to get off and make your move BEFORE the various rate hikes! In this episode, Clay Winder sits down with our very own young investor, Jordan Larsen, to talk about why you should buy now and wait instead of waiting to buy.
