Do you think Index funds will go down too?
Great advice , you eluded to it but I’m gonna say it for others- Learn to analyze a deal so when an opportunity comes up, u know IF it is in fact a deal
And
Have crystal clear criteria for what you’re looking for…otherwise everything looks appealing
Love the Channel and content – y’all are amazing!
I own a home in Puerto Rico, but from Georgia…I'm literally in the process right now if taking the equity out my home to do some renovations and and take some of the money to go back to Georgia and buy a house so I can live between PR and Georgia…I'm hoping your video points me in the right idea
My real estate has helped my net worth continue to grow even though the stock market is down over 20%.
Please recommend websites/resources for real estate financial literacy in Portugal. I would like to be more informed, I speak Portuguese.
All great, however, why would you send your daughters to the US for college? You have pretty much free University in Europe, way safer and what you learn is way better.
big question when does the Portuguese housing market prices start dropping …….
Interest rates going up will negate any benefits of buying at a lower price especially for investment if you are looking for cashflow.
Indiana is the best place in 🇺🇸 for rental homes
Real estate hasnt dropped yet in the Netherlands but the interest rates are still high (4-5%)
I like you guys, thankful for the story and advice.👏🏼
Can you do another vlog on what’s happening with the real estate market on the Silver Coast of Portugal?
Great video
The supply/demand trends are heading in the right direction, but supply still half of what it used to be in US. Not sure current trends will bring us to equilibrium in just two years, so therefore, softening in prices is more realistic than any type of substantial decrease.
Where the glasses?
How much time do you two put into running your Airbnbs?
These tips seem to be for those living in America. What about those of us wanting buy property abroad? At this point are you all able to get financing in Portugual? Is there a credit system there?
Thank you guys ..you are talking about USA housing market..what about Portugal ?? Same thing?? Greetings from Romania
What’s the best source for details of current plans in a community and how a particular city is going? 🙏
Can you guys do a video on securities lending?
I gather you don't see a fed pivot which will have an impact on mortgage rates hence housing prices? Unless you don't see fed pivoting in the next 2 to 3 years? Hard to see that happening.
Thanks & good job! You guys are doing great work! Keep it up!
This is not the case in Europe. Even though interest on loans are going up, prices are not dropping because 1 in some countries there is a shortage of houses and land to build on is getting more scares (like for instance Belgium) Or 2 properties in countries where a lot of expats want to go to/or that are known for escaping the rat race are going up. In Belgium in 1 year about 15 to 20%. We recently bought 1 apartment to rent and are planning on getting a second one.
IMO there is no better education system than European, plus it is definitely more affordable than a USA degree. So have them go to the UK or Ireland or even Holland where they can do their whole degree in English. I get it, having studied in the USA and in several (three) European countries, college is definitely easier in the US, but from an economic stand point Europe is more affordable. Also, even if they plan to return to the US all EU degrees are recognized in the USA. My undergraduate degree was equivalent to a graduate degree in the states, they of course did not gave me a graduate degree because of obvious money reasons but the credits were enough. Just a thought, in case this may be useful to you or you did not know this already.
What happens if she doesn’t get in to that college?
Appreciate you guys gods angels.
I did a refinance on my house, so it was valued at the highest possible with the renos recently done then I will sit on the money I took out when real estate goes more down next year(invested in the mean time) and buy another house, move in, rent the basement, and rent out the first one ( I am thinking because I got the house currently valued at a high amount, even if the housing market average price drops, including my house, it is not actually realized until I sell, and I don't plan on selling so my refinanced house so it won't be a loss ever)
What about the interest rate that goes on increasing? I think you should make another video for that…about how to deal with interest… refinancing or any other ways in future…
You guys have a way of stategizing in a way that is ahead of others-that is fantastic!Thanks for sharing!🤗🏘
It would be interesting to get your view also on whats happening in the Portuguese housing market?
Has not come down where I am looking to buy (Caro MI)
great video as always. yall are amazing!!!
Which college courses would you recommend for financial planning and literacy.
Awesome! your potential seems limitless. I'm fascinated with investing but being a single mother and juggling all these things are quite difficult. How best can I start and what sector to engage in?
