About the show

The challenges faced by first responders in the medical, rescue, police, and military have never been greater. Each day that you report for duty, your personal well-being is placed on the line as you step up to fulfill your duty and help people. It is unfortunate that the contributions of first responders are very rarely recognized for the priceless gift that they really are. In addition to the physical dangers faced on the job by first responders, there is a hidden danger that may impact the financial lives of many first responders whom society depends upon for its very well-being. This hidden danger is the underfunded pension and retirement plans for police, fire, medical and military professionals. Federal, state and local governments all across the country and around the world are experiencing budget difficulties that make it difficult to finance pensions at a level that is sufficient for retirees to fully support their standard of living. This phenomenon may leave many first responders facing retirement years under extreme pressure from financial difficulty. At Heroic Investing, we are dedicated to showing first responders a different way to build their financial future. The future is uncertain but first responders have extensive knowledge of how things can change in an instant. The hero's of society have always been the people who protect our safety and respond to emergencies. You have dedicated your career to making sacrifices for the public good. These sacrifices should be rewarded with a financially secure future and a good retirement lifestyle. This is the reason why pensions were created in the first place and our sincere hope is that our heros have a secure and abundant future.

281: The Job Market and a Housing Shortage of 4 Million | NAR Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun

Jason Hartman discusses the enduring stability of income property as a premier asset class. He highlights updates to his Property Tracker software, which now integrates real-time inflation data and calculates suggested cash reserves to help investors manage risk. He critiques the reliability of official CPI figures, arguing that higher actual inflation creates significant wealth through inflation-induced debt destruction. Jason also shares a personal anecdote about shutting down his Bitcoin miners due to unprofitability, using the story to warn against over-diversification in unproven assets. He then welcomes Lawrence Yun, the Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors, as he provides a comprehensive update on the current state of the U.S. housing market. Yun highlights a significant "slump" in home sales volume over the last four years, even as property prices remain at record highs due to an estimated shortage of four million homes. The discussion covers how high mortgage rates and tax policies like capital gains are freezing inventory by discouraging homeowners from moving. Despite these challenges, Yun remains optimistic, citing strong job growth and potential interest rate cuts driven by future technological productivity as catalysts for a multi-year market recovery. He concludes th at the market is finally turning a corner, with pent-up demand likely to drive increased activity through 2026.

277: Housing Affordability Crisis and the Impact of the NAR Lawsuit on Real Estate with Rick Sharga

Jason welcomes real estate analyst Rick Sharga. Rick discusses the housing market and economic trends. Despite concerns of a crash, he suggests a slow period with modest price increases rather than a downturn. He dismisses crash predictions, highlighting historical data showing home prices generally rise during recessions. Sharga addresses factors like consumer spending, job growth, inflation, and Fed policies influencing mortgage rates. He acknowledges the possibility of a mild recession due to Fed actions but emphasizes it may not significantly impact real estate if inventory remains low and distressed sellers are scarce. Rick also dives into the NAR lawsuit and the current state of the housing market, highlighting mortgage rates near 20-year highs affecting purchase loan applications and pending home sales due to decreased affordability. He anticipates gradual mortgage rate declines attracting more buyers than sellers, likely resulting in increased competition and rising prices. Existing home sales show a 6.5% year-over-year price increase, while new home prices have decreased by 15% from peak levels. Investor purchases remain robust, primarily driven by individual investors rather than institutions. Flipping activity has declined due to pricing challenges, but gross profits are improving, indicating a potential resurgence. #RickSharga #RealEstateTrends #HousingMarket #HomeSales #MortgageRates #NARLawsuit #AffordabilityCrisis #MarketAnalysis #FoxBusinessInsights https://cjpatrick.com/ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

274: 2024 Housing Market Forecast: Why Home Prices Are Set to Soar Despite Challenges

Today Jason talks about "shadow demand" in the housing market. He emphasizes the impact of demographics, particularly the 25 to 34 age group, where about 16% are still living at home, representing untapped demand. With 11 million potential homebuyers in this category, Jason explores the dynamics of supply and demand, debunking predictions of a looming shadow supply. He also touches on factors like low inventory, the influence of baby boomers staying in their homes, and potential wildcards like geopolitical risks affecting the housing market's trajectory. Then Jason and Bridger finish their conversation as they delve into the housing market, the economy, and financial trends, noting that millennials and Gen Z are gradually entering it, causing a housing inventory shortage. Despite rising interest rates, the market still faces low inventory levels. The conversation shifts to the potential impact on banks due to an inverted yield curve, bond values, and the housing market's reliance on new construction. They also explore the possibility of a banking crisis and discuss the Fed's role in managing interest rates. Jason concludes with insights on the strength of the U.S. dollar, the perceived threat of BRICS nations, and the inevitability of central bank digital currencies, raising concerns about financial freedom. #peterschiff #RobertKiyosaki #ShadowDemand #SupplyAndDemand #RealEstate #HousingMarket #Economy #InterestRates #Banking #USDollar #BRICS #CBDC Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

273: Unveiling the Macro Trends Shaping the Housing Market

Jason discusses the impact of mortgage status on the US housing market and wealth distribution, highlighting the growing wealth gap and the formation of two socioeconomic classes due to approximately 40% of US homeowners not having a mortgage. He also touched on the performance of cyclical markets, particularly in luxury markets in Miami, New York, and California, attributing low sales volume to low inventory and high buyer demand.

272: Current Real Estate Market: Rental Challenges, Institutional Landlords and Homeownership Trends with Jay Parsons Part 2

Today's episode continues with Jason and Jay Parsons talking about the current state of the rental market and the impact of institutional landlords in single-family home investments. Despite concerns about high rent-income ratios, Parsons believes that the reality is different and that leasing to someone paying half their income on rent is improbable. They also discuss the low inventory in the housing market, the decrease in sales volume, and the absence of a crash despite interest rate increases. Parsons attributes the stability of the market to favorable income levels, job security, and low distress in the homeownership market. They anticipate that banks will work with consumers through loan modifications in the event of a sustained shock. #rentalmarket #housingmarket #institutionallandlords #inventory #interestrates Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
