Multifamily real estate has crashed, but we’re not at the bottom yet. With more debt coming due, expenses rising, incomes falling, and owners feeling desperate, there’s only so much longer that these high multifamily prices can last. Over the past year, expert multifamily investors like Brian Burke and Matt Faircloth have been sitting and waiting for a worthwhile deal to pop up, but after analyzing hundreds of properties, NOTHING would work. How bad IS the multifamily market right now? Brian and Matt are back on the podcast to give their take on the multifamily real estate market. Brian sees a “day of reckoning” coming for multifamily owners as low-interest debt comes due, banks get desperate to be paid, and investors run out of patience. On the other hand, Matt is a bit more optimistic but still thinks price cuts are coming as inexperienced and overconfident investors get pushed out of the market. So, how does this information help you build wealth? In this episode, Brian and Matt share the state of the 2024 multifamily market, explain exactly what they’ve been doing to find deals, and give their strategy for THIS year that you can copy to scoop up real estate deals at a steep discount.

Inflation has been the hot topic for over a year now. And the Federal Reserve has been on a mission to lower inflation down to its 2% target. But should Chair Jay Powell and his team aim for a higher target instead? We’ll also talk about China and Japan’s diminishing interest in U.S. Treasurys and how it can affect American debt. And some good news about the carnivorous Venus flytrap.

Here’s everything we talked about:

• “Maui wildfire recovery: Hawaii governor insists fire-ravaged Lahaina community will be rebuilt as search efforts continue” from CNN
• “The Fed Should Carefully Aim for a Higher Inflation Target” from The Wall Street Journal
• “Elon Musk’s Shadow Rule” from The New Yorker
• “El-Erian advises Federal Reserve to rethink its 2% inflation target” from Marketplace
• “A barometer for the AI economy” from Marketplace
• “Venus fly trap removed from endangered species list” from Public Radio Eastern North Carolina
• “After years of losses, the Women’s World Cup broke even” from Quartz

The credit rating agency, Fitch, caused a stir yesterday when it downgraded the United States' credit rating from AAA to AA plus. This came less than a week since Federal Reserve staff stopped forecasting a recession on the horizon.

So what gives? Today, we talk to an economist to break down the reasons why Fitch no longer views the US as among the safest of bets.

Today on Here’s Where It Gets Interesting, Sharon welcomes New York Times Federal Reserve reporter Jeanna Smialek. Let’s face it, the Federal Reserve (not a prison), is a public-private partnership that’s a little hard to understand. What’s its history? Why do they make the decisions they make–like to raise interest rates–and how do those decisions impact our economy? How much power do they have over financial policy? Jeanna answers these questions with easy-to-understand explanations.
