  • J Scott: We’re Due for a Recession, But It Isn’t All Bad for Real Estate

    J Scott: We’re Due for a Recession, But It Isn’t All Bad for Real Estate
    Jan 10 2025
    Will mortgage rates remain above seven percent in 2025? Are we closer to a recession than most Americans realize? Why does it feel like this economic cycle of high rates and a struggling middle class will never end? The biggest question is: What do all these factors mean for real estate, and should you still be investing? We brought on the man who literally wrote the book on Recession-Proof Real Estate Investing to give his 2025 outlook. J Scott has flipped over 500 homes, manages and owns thousands of rental units, and has been involved in tens of millions of dollars in real estate transactions. He started investing in 2008; he’s seen the worst of recessions and the highest of pricing peaks. We brought him back on the show as our industry expert to provide his time-tested take on what could happen in 2025 and share his economic framework for forecasting what’s coming next. J says we’re long overdue for a recession—and the red flags are popping up more frequently. While signs of a global recession loom, J explains what this means for mortgage rates and home prices and why now might still be the time to invest. In This Episode We Cover: Why J believes we’re closer to a global recession than most people think New Trump presidential policies that could have huge impacts on inflation (and mortgage rates) Whether mortgage rates will stay in the seven percent range EVEN as the Fed lowers rates The broken economic “cycle” we find ourselves in and the only way to fix it Could home prices correct/crash if mortgage rates finally do fall?

    The Easiest Way to Invest in Real Estate This Year
    Jan 8 2025
    There is an easier way to invest in real estate in 2025. It doesn’t require a ton of money or experience; anyone can do it (even a complete beginner), and it’ll lead to you having more money, more passive income, and a bigger bank account. Successful real estate investors agree: this is a “cheat code” to start investing in real estate in 2025. What are we talking about? It’s not short-term rentals or buying apartment complexes; it’s actually extremely simple—house hacking. Both Dave and Henry used this low-money down, high-impact real estate investing strategy to grow their portfolios to be worth multiple million dollars. It’s the BEST way for a beginner to get into the real estate investing game and allows you to buy properties with just a fraction of a regular down payment. We’re so convinced that it’s the best bet for beginners that we’re bringing on the BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast producer Ian Kay, a complete real estate beginner, to walk him through how to use this exact strategy to start his real estate portfolio. We’ll break down the numbers to show how one smart investment can fund your dream home and leave you tens of thousands richer. Ready to invest in 2025? Then don’t sleep on house hacking! In This Episode We Cover: The easiest, most beginner-friendly way to start investing in real estate in 2025 One simple investing mistake that could cost you $60K+ (and how to avoid it) The steps you should start taking NOW to get your first investment property in 2025 How to analyze a house hack and crucial metrics to check BEFORE you buy In analysis paralysis?

    The opportunity coming for real estate investing in 2025 is almost unimaginable.

Don’t believe real estate is the best place to park your money? Listen to this episode and see whether Dave gives the most convincing argument you’ve ever heard for buying investment property. This new era is brimming with “upside,” so much so that we’re calling this the “Upside Era,” a new dawn for real estate investing that will lead you to financial freedom in fifteen years (or less), get you to your financial goals, and leave you better off than any of the other investments around, whether that’s stocks, bonds, or crypto.

So much value!

I owe a lot to this podcast. I’ve been listening for years and I’ve applied countless things I’ve heard to my life and business.

The mindset that BiggerPockets has given me has brought so much value to my life, even beyond real estate.

Thank you, Josh, Brandon, David, and the rest of the BP team!

very valuable information.

This is a great podcast. Many people don't know about self directed IRA or solo 401k. I opened one this year, I like that I'm in control of my money and I can invest where I want it.
