Happy Tuesday! From a new location for a popular shwarma spot to a new scoreboard and Lions talk, we have you covered on this Tuesday with Fletcher Sharpe. 00:23 - Fletcher went and tried the new Bucharest location in Grosse Pointe Woods 04:49 - The Lions return to form as their offensive line heals and runs the Broncos back to Denver 10:02 - Pistons fans are frustrated, with some calling for Gores to get rid of the team. Fletcher doesn't think we're at that point. 13:46 - Comerica Park is getting a new scoreboard. It'll be the second largest video scoreboard in the league, and it seems Chris Ilitch has finally listened so that our scoreboard isn't worse than a AAA team.  On the positive side, it's a sign that the team wants people at the ballpark, and the investments are good.  Feedback as always - dailydetroit - at - gmail - dot - com or 313-789-3211 Follow us on Apple Podcasts: https://lnk.to/dailydetroitonapple  Or Spotify: https://lnk.to/dailydetroitonspotify  Thanks to our members: http://www.patreon.com/dailydetroit  Or those who do a one-time contribution: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/dailydetroit

The summer is slowly starting to wind down and we could not think of a better person to talk with us at this time than Erica Wiggenhorn! Erica is an award-winning author and is the founder of Every Life Ministries. We're so thankful to have her as a part of our church family! If you are a woman who attends Bible Study at Desert Springs, you have probably been a part of one of the studies Erica has written. In this interview we had the opportunity to speak with Erica on a personal level. We really appreciate Erica's realness; you're going to feel like you're catching up with a friend you've had forever over coffee. Erica's story starts in her time at Azusa Pacific University where she met her husband Jonathan (that's a funny story that you'll have to listen to hear). They married shortly after graduating college and later moved to Michigan for Jonathan's schooling. Moving to Michigan was a big step as Erica had never left California. This move is where she learned to seek out and cultivate real community. Life was bringing Erica a lot as she was trying to balance her husband's demanding schedule with her own career all while struggling with infertility. Having Christian community became vital while navigating all of these things. They ended up moving to North Carolina and then eventually Arizona to care for Erica's ailing father. We're thankful the Wiggenhorn family was able to become a part of Desert Springs after moving to Arizona. Multiple moves, being a new mom, the death of her father and the stresses of work were leaving Erica feeling exhausted and on the verge of burnout. She prayed in desperation to know God in a real way - and God's answer to Erica was to begin studying Ezekiel. This began the road to becoming the author so many of us know now. You're going to want to take notes as SO much wisdom is scattered throughout this real and candid conversation about what it takes to develop real and lasting community. God can really move when we being to take those initial steps. You'll hear so much about the groundwork that was laid simply by Erica taking the steps that were in front of her. God is always leading us into community with Him and others; we just have to follow. These show notes can hardly sum up this conversation, you've got to listen!Learn more about Erica and her ministry: https://ericawiggenhorn.comErica's books and Bible studies: https://ericawiggenhorn.com/books/Connect with Erica on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericawiggenhorn/?hl=enWould you please subscribe and leave us a review?

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending April 29th, 2023... you'll get mixed news on inflation, results for the first quarter GDP, and a rate hike in South America that you never want to see here!   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   Economic News   Let's begin our economic review with the latest inflation report. The Personal Consumption Expenditure Index for March was released on Friday and showed a tiny .1% increase in overall inflation. That brought the yearly rate down from 5.1% in February to 4.2% in March – the lowest it's been since May of last year. But unfortunately, the news wasn't as good for the PCE's core rate. When you omit prices for food and gas, the core rate rose .3%, and brought the annual rate down from 4.7% to 4.6%. As MarketWatch reports, the core rate hasn't changed much for the last five months. (1)   The PCE is the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, and will be an important factor in determining whether to hike interest rates again this week. It's generally believed that the central bank will hike rates another quarter point, but it's a delicate situation because the economy is teetering on the brink of a recession. As Bill Adams of Comerica told MarketWatch: “The Fed is stuck between raising interest rates and likely pushing the economy into a recession… or pausing and risking that inflation accelerates in a few quarters if the economy regains momentum and sticky prices stay high.”   First quarter GDP is out. It shows the economy grew at a rate of 1.1%. That's down from a GDP of 2.6% in the fourth quarter. Consumer spending has been strong, but was offset by spending cautiousness among businesses. Home construction and sales are also a drag on the GDP, thanks to higher mortgage rates. But MarketWatch says the biggest impact on the GDP was a lack of inventory growth. Business inventories were down $138 Billion. If that had not been the case, and inventory growth remained flat, the GDP would have reportedly been much higher, at 3.4%. (2)   Jobless claims reversed course this last week and fell an unexpected 16,000 to a seasonally adjusted 230,000. Economists had expected them to rise slightly. The report shows that the job market is still strong, which feeds into the Fed's concern about inflation. Continuing claims were also down 3,000 to 1.86 million. (3)   Housing demand and a lack of existing home inventory drove new home sales higher in March, despite high mortgage rates. The Commerce Department says they were up 9.6% for the month, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 683,000. The surge was mostly driven by new home sales in the Northeast. The median price for a home was $449,800. Chief Economist, Lisa Sturtevant, at Bright MLS, says that about one in three homes for sale are new builds. Historically, it's more like one in 10. (4)   Although the sale of existing homes has been rising over the last several months, they fell in March. The National Association of Realtors says contract signings were down 5.2% for the month which is more than economists had predicted. NAR says about a third of the listings are seeing multiple bids, and 28% are selling for more than the asking price. (5)   The February report on home prices by Case Schiller shows the national index was up .2% for the month, and 2% for the year. That's the smallest increase in home price growth since 2012. (6)   Mortgage Rates   NAR says that realtors are predicting that mortgage rates will hit 6% this year, and 5.6% next year. But they aren't there yet. Freddie Mac says the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage was up 4 basis points this last week, to 6.43%. The 15-year was down 5 points to 5.71%. (7)   In other news making headlines…   Study: Home Demand Rises After Periods of High Inflation   The desire to own a home will likely increase thanks to inflation. The results of a new study by UC San Diego show that the inflation we're seeing today will have a lasting impact on the housing market, with many people buying homes to protect themselves from future price growth. The study claims to be the first of its kind to show that personal experience with inflation will lead to home ownership. (8)   One of the study co-authors says: “We think one reason people choose to buy instead of rent is because they are worried about future inflation, which may drive up both rent and house prices.” She says: “Our paper suggests that cohorts living through the current inflationary period will have a higher demand for housing for years to come.”   Huge Rate Hike in Argentina as Inflation Soars   As the American consumer worries about inflation and another rate hike when the Fed meets this week, consider this:   The Argentina central bank just hiked short-term rates 300 basis points to an annual rate of 81%! That's in response to surging inflation that hit 104% in March.   Argentine officials had hoped to cut rates this year after a difficult tightening cycle in 2022, but inflation has returned with a vengeance. Argentina has one of the world's highest inflation rates right now. JP Morgan is predicting that Argentina's inflation will hit 130% by the end of the year. (9)   That's it for today.

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending April 8th, 2023... reports show a slowly weakening job market, what could be a great year for single-family rentals, and a list of the top metros for home value growth and stability.    Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   Economic News   We begin with economic news from this past week. Although the job market remains strong, the latest reports show it is softening. For the week of March 25th, jobless claims hit 228,000. It's the ninth week in a row that they've topped 200,000. They had bottomed out last fall when they dropped to a 53-year low of 182,000. They continued around the 200,000 level for several months and have been slowly rising since February. Government revisions also show that claims during the first part of the year were higher than previously reported. MarketWatch economists say that's probably due to corporate layoffs that are just now showing up in the jobless data. (1)   Job openings are also declining. They fell to a 21-month low in February, which is another sign that the job market is softening. Listings dropped from 10.6 million in January to 9.9 million in February. Openings are now down to about 1.7 openings for each unemployed worker. They were at 1.9 openings or each unemployed worker previously. Bill Adams of Comerica told MarketWatch: “The labor market is still very hot but the big drop in job openings is a sign the labor market is cooling in general.” (2)   A third report on job growth shows that U.S. companies added 236,000 new jobs in March. That's a sign of strength and resiliency, and probably not what the Fed would like to hear. Those new jobs helped lower the unemployment rate from 3.6% to 3.5%. Wage growth was slower however. It's come down from 4.6% in February to 4.2% in March. (3)   A report on construction spending shows it was down slightly in February. The Commerce Department says it fell .1% to $1.844 trillion. Single-family construction spending was down 1.8% while multi-family spending was up 1.4%. Year-over-year, multifamily is up 22.2%. Single-family is up 21.4%. (4)   Mortgage Rates   Mortgage rates dipped slightly this last week. Freddie Mac says the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was down 4 basis points to 6.28%. The 15-year was down 8 points to 5.64%. (5)   In other news making headlines…   Single-Family Rental Market Remains Strong   Some parts of the housing market may be in for a rough ride this year, but the single-family rental market isn't one of them. A new report from Attom projected single-family rental yields for 212 counties with a population of at least 100,000. Rental yields are calculated by dividing the annualized gross rent by the purchase price. According to Attom, rentals in those 212 counties will see a 7.5% yield this year. That's up from 6.7% last year. (6)   Attom says that SFR rents are growing in over 90 of the counties analyzed, so those counties will be the most desirable. Three of the top five counties for the biggest upside in rent yields are in Florida including counties for Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach. California's Orange and Santa Clara counties are the other two. There's a lot of data in this report so it's worth digging deeper if you're deciding where to buy a rental property this year. You'll find a link to the report in the show notes.   Texas Shows Strength for Overall Housing Market   Another report on the U.S. housing market lists the top 20 cities for growth and stability, and 12 of them are in Texas. The Smart Asset study compared home value data for 400 metros between 1998 and 2022. It then calculated the growth rate from that data. (7)   The Austin, Texas, area was In the number one spot for growth and stability followed by Midland, Texas, in the Western part of the state. Boulder and Fort Collins, Colorado, took the third and fourth spots. The Kennewick-Richland part of Washington State was fifth. Rapid City South Dakota took the sixth position. Then it's back to Texas with the Odessa area in West Texas as seventh and the Dallas area as eighth. San Antonio was in the ninth spot, and Houston right after that. Texas also dominated the next ten top cities as well with six more metros showing the strongest growth and stability.   The report also shows the worst cities for growth and stability with Flint Michigan topping that list. I won't list those cities, but you'll find a link to the report in the show notes.   Will Commercial Real Estate Go Belly Up?   While there has been a lot of concern that commercial real estate is going to implode because of maturing debt and the inability to refinance at high interest rate, CNBC published a story with the title: “The coming commercial real estate crash that may never happen.” This story argues that only a quarter of office-building loans will need to be refinanced in the next year.  A quarter of office-buildings? That sounds like a LOT to me.  CNBC also reports that industrial, retail, and hotels are on solid ground. (8) Kevin Fagan of Moody's Analytics says: “There likely will be issues but it's more of a typical down cycle.” Whether it's a typical down cycle or a rare one, losing money is never good for investors and is usually a result of aggressive underwriting in a bull market. According to The RealDeal, distress has started to rear its ugly head in the Houston market. Arbor Realty Trust just foreclosed last week on four low-income multifamily properties in Houston, valued at $229 million. The portfolio includes Heights at Post Oak, Redford Apartments, Reserve at Westwood and Timber Ridge Apartments, all of which were purchased between August 2021 and April 2022. (10) The RealDeal says Arbor's foreclosure is "indicative of the current state of the market, where higher interest rates, regional banking turmoil, and slowing rent growth continue to negatively impact multifamily operators. Investors decreased their purchase of apartment buildings by about $40 billion in the first quarter of 2023, representing a 74% decline in sales from the first quarter of last year, according to CoStar Group.   That's it for today.

Just out, the Consumer Price Index for February and it shows that inflation cooled slightly for the month. Government figures show it rose .4% which brings the annual inflation rate down to 6%. It was 6.4% last month.   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. Please remember to subscribe to this podcast and leave us a review.   The report on the CPI also shows a .5% rise in the core rate of inflation, which omits volatile pricing for food and energy. That's slightly higher than a .4% estimate for the core rate, but the annual core rate of 5.5% was inline with expectations.    Economists Expect Soften Fed Policy   Overall, inflation went down in February, but likely not enough to prevent another rate hike when the Federal Reserve meets next week. Economists expect the banking turmoil to soften the Fed's stance however.   The head of Evercore ISI's global policy and central bank strategy, Krishna Guha, told CNBC: “While only moderately higher than consensus, in the pre-SVB crisis world this may well have pushed the Fed to hike 50 basis points at its March meeting next week. It is a sign of how much things have changed in the very near term that 50 basis points is almost certainly off the table for March.”   Economists started predicting a 50 basis point rate hike after hawkish comments by Fed Chief Jerome Powell when he testified before two congressional committees. During two days of testimony, Powell said that interest rates will probably be “higher than previously anticipated.”    After the failure of Silicon Valley Bank and two other banks, economists now expect the Fed to back off a bit, but not completely. Jeffrey Roach, who's the chief U.S. economist at LPL Financial told CNBC: “Even amid current banking scares, the Fed will still prioritize price stability over growth and likely hike rates by .25% at the upcoming meeting.   Inflation Rate Varies from Sector to Sector   When you break the report down into sectors, you see that lower energy prices helped bring the overall rate down. Energy prices were down .6% in February, to an annual rate of 5.2%. Food prices were up .4% although egg prices tumbled. They were down 6.7% but are still up 55.4% on a year-over-year  basis.   Shelter costs were .8% higher which brought the annual rise in shelter prices to 8.1%. Shelter costs make up about one third of the CPI, but fed officials expect those costs, including rent growth, to slow down throughout the year.   As Bright MLS chief economist, Lisa Sturtevant, told CNBC: “Housing costs are a key driver of the inflation figures, but they are also a lagging indicator. It typically takes six months for new rent data to be reflected in the CPI.” She says the fact that the data is six months old means that inflation levels are not accurately reflecting current rates of inflation.    Moody's: Six Banks at Higher Risk of Failure   Fed officials will be taking this report into consideration at their meeting, along with other newly released economic data and the risk to the banking system. Moody's released a list of six banks that it considered at higher risk of failure because of the current economic environment. Those banks include: First Republic Bank, Zions, Western Alliance, Comerica, UMB Financial and Intrust Financial. (2)   Economist Gus Faucher of PNC Financial Services told MarketWatch: “What was a tricky task for the Fed, raising rates by enough to cool off inflation, but not by too much as to push the economy into recession, has gotten even more difficult with the recent bank failures.” (3)   Check the show notes at newsforinvestors.com for links to our sources.
