Erin Spradlin and James Carlson directly address how Trump administration's 2025 policies are impacting real estate markets—while making clear that economics aren't their biggest concern.
đź’¸ Four Ways Trump Policies Are Hitting Real Estate
1. Immigration Crackdown = Construction Cost Explosion Removal of legal and illegal immigrant labor means construction and renovation costs are skyrocketing. Expect to pay significantly more and wait longer for any building project.
2. Tariff Chaos = Market Paralysis Retaliatory tariffs create inflation while Fed won't lower interest rates. Buyers have less purchasing power, sellers can't move properties, uncertainty prevents investment.
3. Policy Whiplash = Business Gridlock Daily policy flip-flops create regulatory uncertainty. Chaos itself—regardless of content—causes market pullback.
4. International Travel Collapse = Rental Disaster US Travel Association reports first decline since 2020: 6.3% drop in visits, $5 billion less spending. Canadian snowbirds abandoning Arizona and Florida properties—landlord glut eliminates renters. Phoenix devastated even for landlords who "never rented to Canadians."

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
