Interest rates are up yet again, even after multiple Fed rate cuts in 2024. What’s happening, and how long can this last? Bond investors worry inflation is here to stay. This concern forces bond yields—and mortgage rates—to grow. Can Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve do anything to ease investors’ minds or do we have a long road of high rates ahead of us? We’re getting into it in this headlines show!

Don’t let rising rates stop you from building wealth; we have more stories that showcase an optimistic future outlook for real estate investors. From an incoming commercial real estate recovery that has been multiple years in the making to sellers finally submitting to the market and putting their homes up for sale, it’s not all bad news going into 2025.

One natural disaster-ravaged state finally puts its foot down and forces insurance companies to write policies in risky areas. Is this a much-needed government intervention, or will this shift the burden of high insurance costs onto investors and homeowners? We’re sharing our opinion in this episode!
