Frank Leutz from WrenchNation.TV joins us to give us his hot take on the challenges with EV adoption AND the current MAJOR shortage of auto technicians. Is wide-spread EV adoption even possible with the lingering supply chain issues, high car costs, battery production challenges, lack of charging infrastructure with power grid and charging station limitations? Will there still be a need for auto technicians for EVs? Are there other technologies under development that might render EV’s obsolete? A lot of questions and uncertainties when it comes to EVs and the auto industry. We’re diving in with Frank on these tough questions.

The short answer is yes, now is a very good time to be in the market to purchase a home. There's balance for the buyers again. You can take your time to find the right home, negotiate a good value, and you don't have put your earnest deposit at risk over the appraisal or inspection. It's been years since buyers were in charge! On top of this, you have great programs such as the temporary interest rate buy down (paid for by the seller) to bring your rate down considerably for the first 1-2 years to take a bite out of the higher interest rate market we are in at the moment. We cover a lot in just 25 minutes. Hope you enjoy and gain some valuable insight (and some hope) from our conversation!
