The Federal Reserve announced today that they will be increasing the Federal Reserve Prime Rate, also known as the Fed Funds Rate, but .25%. They expect to increase the interest rate by .25% every 6 weeks until they end the year at a total rate of 1.9. We started off the year at .05 where we have been sitting since April 2020. Prior to March of 2020 the Fed Funds Rate was 1.58.

Do you want to understand what this all means to you? How do we expect the future of the real estate market and mortgage rates respond?

Additionally on this show, we brought in Michael Mazure with United Capital Group. Michael talked about Hard Money Loans and the loan scenarios that would benefit from hard money lending.

This was a great show, a little long, but it had a ton of great content!

Inflation Inflation Inflation! Are you tired of hearing that word? Are you tired of feeling the pain of the gas prices, groceries, utilities, all soaring? Well, I can’t fix those things but I did give you some tips and tricks to try to reduce your monthly budget in this episode.

We all make decisions based on what we can afford. For example, when you buy a new car or a home, you go through your monthly debts, your take home income, your expenses on groceries, utilities, eating out, etc. If your income hasn’t changed from what it was when you made those large purchases, you may no longer be able to afford those payments that you signed up for.

The only option that you have is to try to bring down the expenses that you can control such as vacations, utilities, and eating out. How do you control your utilities? The gas company, power, water, trash, they aren’t going to give you a special deal because your struggling. Listen now to hear mom’s tips.

1031 Exchange transactions are very common among investors who have rental properties and chose to sell. Unless you have occupied the property for a minimum of two years out of the last five years, you will pay capital gains. The only way to avoid capital gains is to roll over the proceeds to a new investment property. Rolling over the proceeds from one investment to another is called a 1031 Exchange.

There are many rules around the 1031 Exchange process. We touch on many of those rules today but to learn more or to get your questions answered on this topic, schedule yourself a free phone consultation. We will discuss your personal scenario with you and get you moving in the right direction.

During this weeks episode I focused on Rent vs. Own. With property values increasing, interest rates increasing, and inventory becoming even lower than it has been over the last few years, many of my clients have started to believe that they are priced out of the market and they should put their home buying plans on hold.

This couldn’t be further from the truth. Today I touched on all of those questions including, current rents, future rent values, as well as interest rates, monthly payments, and more.

First time buyers and future/current owners of rental investment properties will all benefit from this information.
