Sept. 2025 Housing Market Update: Mild Correction, Any Signs of a Crash?

September 26, 2025 • 32 mins
We can definitively say it now: the buyer’s market is here.  The housing market is cooling down, but the deals are heating up as a “mild” correction slows down hot markets and gives buyers even more power in cold ones. With it comes buying opportunities—ones that real estate investors have been starved of over the past few years. You can negotiate for more, offer less, and lock in a lower mortgage rate than last year. The que...

Fed Cuts Rates: Who Needs to Rate Lock and Refinance ASAP

September 19, 2025 • 33 mins
The Federal Reserve has finally cut rates. Will mortgage rates follow? If you’ve been waiting to rate lock or refinance, is now the time, or does the market think we have even further to fall?  With inflation coming down from past years’ peaks and unemployment slowly ticking up, the Fed made the decision everyone was waiting for: cut rates…cautiously. There are still more 2025 rate cuts lined up, but they may not have the effect...

Buy Now vs. Wait and the Best First Rental for Beginners

September 17, 2025 • 36 mins
Should you buy a rental property now or wait? If you buy now and prices rise, you’ll get all the appreciation that comes with it and have the chance to refinance at any point in the future. But waiting to have a larger down payment could get you a better loan and put you in a stronger financial position. You want to get into real estate investing soon, so what should you do? We’re answering this question, and more, on this Q&A e...

The New (Better) BRRRR Method: Less Risk, More Cash Flow

August 25, 2025 • 36 mins
The BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) was, for a few years at least, the real estate investor’s golden ticket to a million-dollar portfolio. It allowed investors to buy properties, fix them up fast, get their down payment money back, and recycle it. This created an “infinite” investing loop where someone with one down payment could turn it into five (or more) separate houses. But with high mortgage rates, the BRRRR...

    Cardiac Cowboys

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
