180: Investors Bullish on Housing Once Again, Flipping to Take OFF w/Rick Sharga

The tide may have finally turned for real estate investing and the housing market. After carefully tracking sentiment among small investors, Rick Sharga’s team at CJ Patrick Company has seen a BIG boost in optimism over the last quarter. It seems that betting on the housing market is back as improving investor sentiment and confidence pushes more and more people to go after rental property investing and house flipping. But which strategies will have the most explosive growth? We sat down to break the story with Rick on the newest Investor Sentiment Survey, what investors are feeling the most bullish about in the 2024 housing market, and the biggest concern investors have on their minds. And the data Rick shares isn’t just shown in the survey—it’s mirroring today’s market conditions. In James’ market alone, investor demand has quadrupled recently, showing a STRONG resurgence in a specific type of real estate investing.  We’ll walk through the new investor sentiment numbers, why house flipping activity could explode over the next year, one big risk hurting rental property investors, and where investing activity is pooling across the nation. In This Episode We Cover: Latest investor sentiment numbers and the one strategy that is about to have a BIG comeback The HUGE opportunity for rental property investing that most investors will miss How James made MORE money doing HALF as many flips in 2023  Low mortgage rate predictions and why investors need to get in BEFORE rates drop One serious hurdle that’s hurting rental property investors in 2024 And So Much More!
