With housing market conditions shifting dramatically from a seller's to buyer's market, real estate investors are facing a critical decision: should you buy more properties now, pay down existing mortgages, or wait for even better deals? In this episode, On The Market host Dave Meyer and expert panelists Kathy Fettke, James Dainard, and Henry Washington dive deep into current market opportunities, sharing specific examples of deals that weren't available just months ago and debating whether declining home prices and falling mortgage rates create the perfect storm for investors. Dave, Kathy, James and Henry reveal their contrasting strategies on leverage versus debt paydown, explore how interest rates impact investment decisions, and discusse why timing the housing market perfectly might be less important than having a clear investment plan with target returns.
