Dave Meyer and Kathy Fettke reveal their current real estate investment strategies, including the assets and markets they think will have the best values for the rest of 2025. Dave and Kathy emphasize the importance of securing fixed-rate financing in today’s volatile interest rate environment, warning that commercial loans may be risky with uncertainty around the future of Fed independence and the rising national debt. Later in the episode, Dave explains why hard assets like real estate remain excellent hedges against potential currency devaluation, and how properties can turn inflationary environments into advantages for investors.
Dave:
We’ve been saying that it’s time to buy. So now it’s time to talk about what and where to buy. Of course, different investors will have different opinions, but everyone needs to be informed in this rapidly changing real estate market. Hey everyone. Dave Meyer here back for another episode of On the Market. And today I’m joined by my co-host and friend Kathy Fettke. We are both really excited right now about some new investing opportunities we’ve seen recently that feel sort of different from the properties that have been available to buy in the last couple of years. I’m personally fresh off an investing trip to the Midwest where I saw much more interesting small multifamily inventory than I’ve seen honestly in four or five years. Kathy is adding to her apartment portfolio and working on build to rent projects. So today we’re going to talk about why we like these particular opportunities and we’re especially going to focus on how to finance them in an uncertain future mortgage rate environment. Hey Kathy, how are you?
Kathy:
Hi, I am great. Good to see you. I can’t wait to hear about your recent trip and tour.
Dave:
Yeah, it was fun. For those of you listening, Henry and I went on a cashflow roadshow. We’ve called it. We’ve been talking about doing this for so long and we did a show a couple of years ago…
