2023 Risks, The True Cost of Owning Rentals, and L…


The real estate market is changing, especially in high-appreciation cities like Phoenix, Arizona. This week, Ashley and Tony made the journey to the Valley of the Sun to visit real estate rookies for a live podcast recording. But it wasn’t just the rookies coming out; expert investors like Jamil Damji and Pace Morby also swung around to answer questions about creative financing, the 2023 housing market, multifamily investing, and more. They give some killer insight that only off-market masters know, and their input could help you score better deals over the next year.

As always with a Rookie Reply, we also take questions from the Real Estate Rookie Facebook group, the Rookie Request Line, and Instagram to see what’s on investors’ minds. This time, we’ve got questions on how real estate wholesaling works, the best way to reject an agent or lender (without burning bridges), the true cost of owning a rental property, and the risks and rewards of using a dual real estate agent. This episode comes packed with rental property gold, so stick around!

If you want Ashley and Tony to answer a real estate question, you can post in the Real Estate Rookie Facebook Group! Or, call us at the Rookie Request Line (1-888-5-ROOKIE).

Ashley:
This is Real Estate Rookie episode 250.

Jamil:
Right now, the lenders are all tricking us into thinking that 5% is going to be a blessing. So when we hit 7%, 8% where we’re at right now, and they finally start creeping down towards five, five and a half, do you know what kind of pressure cooker is going to exist in this market? So all the real smart investors, they are buying cheap and they’re holding. They’re buying cheap and they’re holding, they’re just waiting for this 12 to 18-month cycle to do its thing. And then as soon as the rates go back somewhere around 5%, it is going to be bananas.
