Clint Coons, Esq., interviews Kathy Fettke, founder of Real Wealth Network and a seasoned real estate expert with over 20 years of experience. They discuss current market conditions, with Kathy explaining how real estate's slow-moving nature provides stability compared to the volatile stock market. She shares that recent decreases in mortgage rates have already increased pending sales and mortgage applications. Kathy reveals her top investment markets, emphasizing the Southeast (particularly Texas and Florida) for growth and appreciation, while the Midwest (parts of Ohio and Indianapolis) offers better cash flow. She explains the importance of property type selection, market dynamics, and long-term strategy, highlighting how newer properties in growth markets typically outperform older properties in stagnant markets, even if the latter initially show better cash flow. Kathy also discusses the current opportunity with builders offering rate buy-downs on new construction, property management considerations, and the importance of avoiding markets with unfavorable landlord laws. This episode provides valuable insights for both new and experienced real estate investors looking to build wealth through strategic property acquisition. Kathy Fettke is Co-Founder of RealWealth.com, helping busy professionals acquire turnkey rental properties in fast-growing U.S. markets. She also leads RealWealthDevelopments.com, offering passive build-to-rent syndication opportunities. Kathy hosts The Real Wealth Show and Real Estate News for Investors podcasts, and co-hosts BiggerPockets: On the Market. She authored the bestsellers Retire Rich with Rentals and Scaling Smart with her husband, Rich Fettke. A frequent speaker and media guest, Kathy has appeared on CNN, CNBC, Fox News, NPR, and CBS MarketWatch.
