    Podcast Summary

    • JPMorgan's $1 billion investment in US rental marketLarge institutions like JPMorgan are investing in rental housing, signaling a long-term commitment to the industry and potential trend in other markets.

      Large institutional investors like JPMorgan are making significant investments in the rental housing market, both in the US and potentially indicative of trends in other global markets. With JPMorgan investing $1 billion in the US rental market through the acquisition and development of 100,000 rental homes, this shows a long-term commitment to the industry and a belief that there is no imminent collapse. This trend, known as Build-to-Rent, is more advanced in the US market but is starting to gain traction in the UK. As the US housing market trends influence global markets, this investment strategy could become increasingly popular in the UK and other countries. The podcast hosts also emphasized the importance of staying informed and taking advantage of resources to make the most of the property market, encouraging listeners to subscribe, share the podcast, and help new investors get started.

      By pre-ordering Mister D's upcoming book and gaining instant access to his video course, readers can ensure they absorb all the key concepts and lessons before the physical book arrives. This offer not only provides an additional learning resource but also saves time and effort in reviewing notes. Furthermore, the speakers' annual tradition of making real estate market predictions for the year ahead includes their consistent success in identifying top investment areas. Their top picks for 2023 are Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester, and Cardiff, based on recent market trends. These areas have shown resilience and growth, making them attractive investment opportunities.

    • Derby: A Top Performer in UK Real EstateDerby, UK is a promising area for investment with expected house price growth of up to 4% by end of 2023. Stay informed for potential market fluctuations.

      Derby, UK was identified as an up-and-coming area last year and exceeded expectations, making it one of the best performers. Areas like Nottingham, Birmingham, Manchester, and Derby are worth exploring for investment opportunities. Regarding UK house prices, both Rob and the speaker predict a marginal increase of around 2% by the end of 2023, with a potential range of 0% to 4%. Despite this optimistic prediction, it's important to note that other predictions suggest a more negative outlook. The first and second quarters of 2023 are predicted to be the weakest for property prices, but the second half of the year is expected to show improvement. It's important to stay informed and not be swayed by negative media coverage.

    • UK Property Market Predictions for 2023The UK property market is predicted to have a tough start in 2023, particularly in London, but is expected to recover by the second half of the year. London is predicted to be the worst performing region, but still a good investment opportunity in the long term.

      The speaker is predicting a tough start to the year for the UK property market, particularly in London, but is optimistic about a recovery by the second half of the year. He sees the mortgage market settling and lending becoming easier as reasons for this recovery. However, London is predicted to be the worst performing region this year, with a potential minor fall in value. The speaker emphasizes that this is not a long-term prediction, and London is still expected to be a great investment opportunity in the next 10 years. The speakers plan to discuss their predictions for the property market in more detail in upcoming podcasts.

    • Economic Factors: Inflation and Interest RatesInflation is predicted to finish below 5% and interest rates to peak below 4.5% in the coming year, making for relatively contained economic conditions.

      Despite the uncertainty surrounding economic factors like interest rates and inflation, it is expected that both will remain relatively contained in the coming year. The speaker, who has written extensively on these topics, predicts that inflation will finish the year below 5%, leading to relatively contained interest rates that will peak below 4.5%. While the speaker is hesitant to make a firm prediction on inflation due to its unpredictable nature, they believe it will be lower than the previous year. The speaker also emphasized the importance of their mobile app, Portfolio, which aims to make property investment accessible to a wider audience. Despite making predictions outside of their area of expertise, the speaker acknowledged the risks and uncertainties involved.

    • FTSE 100 bearish for H1, Bitcoin volatile but uncertainThe speaker predicts a bearish FTSE 100 for H1 with potential volatility and a 10% correction. Bitcoin is anticipated to have quieter headlines but still volatile price movements, making it an uncertain investment.

      The speaker is bearish on the FTSE 100 for the first half of the year, predicting a downward trend with potential volatility and a 10% correction. For Bitcoin, the speaker anticipates a quieter year in terms of headlines but still volatile price movements, making it an uncertain investment. Despite being in a bear market, the speaker believes Bitcoin will not be boring and may see some slight upward movement, but it's not a recommended investment due to its volatility. The FTSE 100, on the other hand, is expected to face challenges in Q1 and overall may have a negative performance for the year.

    • Bitcoin's Volatility Continues in 2023Bitcoin's price will swing by at least 20% in 2023, making it a risky investment for some, but an opportunity for others.

      Bitcoin is expected to continue its volatile trend in 2023, with price swings of at least 20%. This volatility is a norm for Bitcoin and is why it remains largely in the speculation bucket despite long-term beliefs about its technology and place in the world system. The year may see Bitcoin reach new heights, but it will also experience significant drops. For those interested in learning more about a divisive character and an intriguing business story, the book "Be Careful What You Wish For" by Simon Jordan is recommended. The book provides insights into Jordan's journey to buying Crystal Palace, offering an engaging read for those who enjoy business narratives.

    • Unfiltered experiences of a former football club ownerJordan's candid book offers rare insights into the world of football management, agents, and players, providing a refreshing perspective beyond media soundbites and game commentary.

      Value of raw honesty and behind-the-scenes insights in football literature. The book recommended, "Price of Money" by Simon Jordan, offers just that. Jordan, a former football club owner, shares his unfiltered experiences with managers, agents, and players. His candidness is intriguing, as it's rare for individuals still involved in the game to speak so openly. For football fans, this book provides a refreshing perspective beyond the usual media soundbites and game-by-game commentary. Even those with a passing interest in football might find it appealing. If you've enjoyed podcasts about the business side of football, this book could be another interesting addition to your collection. So, if you're looking for a new read while waiting for the next Rob Dee book, consider adding "Price of Money" to your wish list.

    Michael Durham is a Durham Ontario-based landscaper, that truly enjoys his work. It brings job satisfaction, joy at helping customers enjoy THEIR properties even more, and a salary.

    While this is great, Michael always had an eye to the future, and retirement. Perhaps Michael didn’t want to depend on the Canada Pension Plan and RRSPs, so he started investing in real estate.

    For Michael, the key was multi family homes - where if you lose a tenant, the property is still making money. He also believes in refreshing properties between tenants, to make it a better place, and perhaps it might come with a small rent increase to cover the upgrades. Now he owns 3 properties at age 29.

    His goal is to have a few more properties, that will both cash flow to pay down the mortgages, AND appreciate in value over time.

    What did he learn? Would he do it the same way again? What advice does Michael have for others considering the process?

    The Complexities of Blockchain in Global Aid Efforts

    The Complexities of Blockchain in Global Aid Efforts

    This episode is sponsored by Quantstamp and Nexo.io.

    In theory, crypto and blockchain technology present unique opportunities to improve, accelerate and strengthen global aid efforts. In practice, geopolitical challenges and complexities in distribution hinder projects before they’ve even had a chance to deploy the new technology.

    Joining “Money Reimagined” hosts Michael Casey and Sheila Warren are Sara Pantuliano, chief executive of ODI and member of the United Nations Peacebuilding Fund, and Sasha Kapadia, director in the Humanitarian and Development group at Mastercard. The guests are intimately familiar with the processes and challenges associated with cross-border aid efforts, as well as the opportunities for blockchain integrated aid in the future.

    How can blockchain-based digital aid solutions improve the lives of those in crisis? Even if the technology could be helpful, is it ethical to test emergent technology on a vulnerable population?

    Blockchain technology is likely to be increasingly included in aid solutions in the next decade. Alongside the sweeping potential , it’s also important to maintain awareness of its dangers if communities are to avoid widening the “digital divide” that developing technologies can easily create.
