Renters Warehouse’s Kevin Ortner is on the air with Abhi for their weekly Friday conversation, and Kevin gives some much-needed insight and translation of what news outlets are showing regarding the housing market. Appreciation is slowing, but Kevin argues it’s actually a good thing for the long-term. You can’t sustain double-digit housing price appreciation year-over-year without creating a problem in the end. Out of control growth in anything is bad, but slow, steady growth is sustainable. Kevin believes what’s happening is a simple market correction.

Greg Rand, Chief Strategy Officer of Renters Warehouse, is on air with Abhi and they get straight to business. Abhi and Greg are kicking things off with a listener favorite — smart people saying dumb things about real estate. Earlier in the year, the concern was home prices were too high and affordability was low. Now, prices are leveling off and people are talking about the market plummeting. Greg warns listeners they should not lack in confidence when it comes to making moves to invest in the housing market. They also get into the concept of “second cities.” Greg uses Nashville as an example and encourages listeners to look into the “next Nashville” if they are wanting to invest in a similar city. Tune-in to hear which city he recommends.
