About this episode
Is this the year the real recession finally hits ? Could a new “land rush” spark a buying spree throughout the U.S. for coveted dirt that makes investors millions? And why is one type of rental property owner about to sell off their homes , ready to give you a sizable discount ? We’re still in the swing of prediction season, so this time, we’re giving you our boldest 2026 housing market predictions yet. We’re not talking mortgage rate predictions or home price predictions (we’ve already done that). This time, we’re sharing which real estate could take off or break down —and which could make savvy investors rich, if they’re able to buy the right deals. Some opportunities (like one we’re sharing today) only happen once in a decade , and we’re already getting the jump on them. Henry shares his insider secrets , noting that one specific type of rental is starting to hit the market as once-optimistic owners give up, opting to sell their properties without making a profit. This could be a huge opportunity to pick up homes in great shape and in solid markets at a discount. Dave talks about why this may be the year we finally get a recession and offers some cautious words of wisdom to everyone out there, as “chaos” might be in store .
