Invincible Career - Claim your power and regain your freedom
Listen now | It's the easiest way to negotiate job offers. The balance of power has shifted in the job market. Employers used to feel like they held all the cards and could make candidates jump through hoops. I remember some hiring managers saying, “People should feel lucky to work here.” Well, well. How the tables have turned! Now, the Great Resignation is upon us. 4.4 million Americans quit their jobs in the month of September alone! Companies are struggling to fill over 10M positions while potential workers look at the meager hourly pay and say, “No thanks.” Restaurants, retailers, and other businesses are reducing their operating hours or even closing their doors because they are short-staffed. As a job candidate in this hot market, you now have the advantage. If you’re good at what you do, it should be fairly easy for you to find multiple employers who would love to hire you.

Internships can be an incredibly valuable resource to new professionals and are often the first professional work experience for many participants.

Restrictive covenants. Non-competes. Some states allow their enforcement. Some states don't. In an increasingly mobile employment environment and in a time when the "Great Resignation," is sweeping the country, the Federal Government is paying a lot of attention to trying to "promote competitive labor markets and worker mobility." This effort is in response an Executive Order by President Biden in July, urging the Federal Trade Commission to "curtail the unfair use of non-compete clauses...that may unfairly limit worker mobility."On December 6th and 7th, the FTC and the DOJ will host a virtual workshop to inform the rulemaking process. This episode tees up the issue looking at restrictive covenants from all sides, with guest litigation attorney David Williams.Have you ever been laid off only to find that you can't get a job in your field due to a non-compete? Have you ever had an employee walk off with your customer list or your "secret sauce? As an employee, are you free to leave for a competitor? As an employer, are your trade secrets protected.? If you aren't sure, this episode of Is That Even Legal is for you.More on the December Workshop.

Long ago, before we started turning spare bedrooms or breakfast tables into makeshift offices, remote work had begun. But, it wasn't accepted much, since we were still attuned to looking over the shoulder of our employees, a habit from the industrial era. Then the pandemic hit and remote work became our reality out of necessity. We learned to trust employees and treat them as mature individuals who can take responsibility for their work. It's for the future to acclimatize the new norm! Tune in!
Prohibition on Employer Vaccine Mandates
In this episode of In the Breakroom, Bill Grob is joined by Phillip Russell and Dee Anna Hays to discuss Florida's new law prohibiting employers from mandating employee vaccinations. The new measure, which went into effect immediately after Governor Ron DeSantis signed the law on November 18, 2021, prohibits employers from implementing a COVID-19 vaccination mandate for employees without providing at least five individual exemptions. Our speakers discuss the details of the new law and the five exemptions and address compliance questions and challenges on the horizon for Florida employers.
The pandemic has upended nearly every aspect of how we do business - from how companies interact with their customers to how customers choose products and services. This changing business landscape has accelerated innovation. In this episode, we'll talk about innovation with Jennifer Brazer, CEO and Founder of Complete Controller. Copyright © 2021 ADP, Inc.

In this episode of Dirty Steel-Toe Boots, host Phillip Russell is joined by Dee Anna Hays for a first look at the new Florida law that prohibits private employers from mandating COVID-19 vaccinations for employees unless they qualify for one of five exemptions (medical, religious, prior infection immunity, regular testing, and personal protective equipment (PPE) usage). The law is effective immediately and impacts private employers that mandate vaccinations for their employees. Phillip and Dee Anna also discuss possible conflicts with and preemption of the new state statute with federal vaccine mandates in Executive Order 14042 (which applies to federal contractor employees) and by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Accurate and accessible timekeeping records are absolutely essential in helping CA employers defend against claims of improper or incorrect hours worked. With employees' access to computers, point of sale systems, tablets and other technology, timekeeping should be a seamless function within a company in 2021, but surprisingly software companies often over promise on what they can deliver. Here are five key functions that timekeeping software need to provide to California employers in 2021.

Bill Handel talks about the man who fatally shot Ahamaud Arbery, as he described the situation as a 'life or death' encounter'. Also, the two men convicted of killing Malcom X will be exonerated after two decades. And companies are offering their employees perks like never before as they're bending over backwards to keep their workers from quitting.
In this healthcare podcast, I speak with Peter Hayes, who is president and CEO at the Healthcare Purchaser Alliance of Maine and a national presence in healthcare strategy, innovation, and a frequent keynote speaker. One thing, among many, that Peter said during our conversation struck me. He said it will take a village to fix what ails the healthcare industry in this country. There are too many interdependencies. This point obviously resonates around these parts because it's the rationale for the Relentless Health Value podcast. We started this show on the recognition that if you want to achieve anything in healthcare, you cannot do it without collaboration/cooperation/grudging acquiescence of other stakeholders in the patient journey or the payment journey. And when I say, “You can't do anything,” I mean you can't sell anything, you can't improve patient care, and, most relevant to this particular episode, you can't contain prices. If we're talking about health systems (for example, hospitals and the like), they are not going to curtail their price hikes or improve the value of care delivered or safety or infection control really unless patients and employers and CMS and others demand that they do—and unless employers and others do some of the five things that Peter Hayes mentions at the end of our conversation. Spoiler alert there. For context to this discussion, let's check in with some of the biggest, most powerful health systems in this country. If I limit this comment to the “nonprofit” ones—and I say “nonprofit” with air quotes because what does that mean exactly?—look, I know there are many health system execs that listen to this show, but there's some inalienable facts here. And let's talk about them with the intent of fixing them because nothing is going to get fixed that isn't talked about. It's not my nature to mince words, so I won't. Many hospitals are, by almost every account, pretty darn inefficient. And they don't do cost accounting, but then they'll scream and claim to be losing money when paid the exact same prices for certain services that other hospitals can get paid and make a fair profit. Crappy workflows cost money. Talk to anybody who has watched even the trailer to a Six Sigma course. Another thing that costs money is when all the burned-out doctors quit and you have to recruit new ones, but that's a topic for a different day. Listen the EP323 with Arshad Rahim, MD. But there's also inefficiencies in how many health systems purchase supplies. (Listen to EP281 with Rob Austin for more on that.) Further, paying the C-suite millions of dollars but maybe underpaying or understaffing nurses has consequences. There's complaints about Medicare payer mixes, but then somehow there's enough spare shekel to put a waterfall in the lobby. Nonprofit hospitals also don't pay any taxes, keep in mind, which is a huge financial windfall, especially when they provide vanishingly small amounts of charity care compared to revenue. See the top 10 health system hall of shame in this category here. Here's another point to ponder: Amongst the hundreds, thousands, of requests I get from PR firms pitching guests to come on this show, there are plenty from what appears to be a pretty large cottage industry that I had never heard of before. I'll call it the real estate for nonprofit hospitals cottage industry. From what I can gather by the promo copy, this involves buying up medical office buildings, not paying any real estate taxes, and then leasing out the space. I should have one of these guys come on the show just to shine some light on whatever this apparently pretty common shenanigan is. As Vikas Saini, MD, from the Lown Institute has said, “No margin, no mission” can become an excuse for all kinds of questionable behavior. So bottom line, we have employers, employees, taxpayers, cash-pay patients whose federal and/or state and/or local taxes are going to support these nonprofit hospitals—but then there's this double tax. Because they claim to be losing money on Medicare patients, they justify cost shifting some pretty big bucks onto the commercially insured patients, who are then paying, on average, some wildly inflated prices for healthcare services. This might be considered a double tax if you think about it: tax dollars going to the IRS directly and then after-tax dollars buying that knee replacement for $125,000 that should cost $25,000. Consider that a $100,000 double tax. But why should a hospital with a motive to maximize margins quit it with their questionable and secretive billing practices if employers just pay whatever the bill is no fuss no muss? Short answer: They won't. So, it's going to be up to someone else in the village to make it untenable to continue. It's going to be up to another party to slow that roll. In this conversation, Peter Hayes talks about the RAND Hospital Price Transparency Study. One last thing that may or may not be relevant here, but I can't resist a good sidebar. New catchphrase I have been hearing lately: the “deconstruction of hospitals.” Have you heard it, too? In fact, I was listening to Zeev Neuwirth's podcast recently that featured Raphael Rakowski. Raphael said that the average fixed cost of any given brick-and-mortar hospital is 65% of revenue. So, just having the building, the physical plant, and paying for all the things you need to pay for to run that physical plant is really high. I heard Jason Wells say in a HealthIMPACT forum the other day that it costs a million dollars to build a bed in California due to all the regulatory requirements. Add to that something Christin Deacon highlighted the other day on LinkedIn about how operating rooms are empty 30% of the time. So, it makes me wonder whether some of the issues that hospitals have when they claim that they are losing money on Medicaid or Medicare is because their fixed costs are out of whack. This potentially disproportionate situation, however, is one reason why hospitals really have to watch it for hospitals at home or virtual offerings. After all, this is exactly how Amazon ate everybody's lunch. Erase 65% of your costs, or even 50% of your costs, and that cost-plus profit threshold becomes a weapon of mass destruction. At the end of this podcast—the very end, so if you're in a rush, jump to 28 minutes or something [32:45]—Peter gives five ideas for employers to limit the ability for hospitals to take advantage. If you're a hospital exec that's listening, I would urge you to please help your local employers do these things. Let's all get on the same team here to improve the health of our communities with pricing and business models that are reasonable and fair. Don't be like the hospital that Katy Talento is going to talk about in an upcoming episode who won't do direct contracting with employers because the coding is kind of a hassle. Seriously now.

The last couple years have been full of monkeys flinging poo at businesses' reputations.Companies' response to Covid last spring – do we go remote or do we stay in the office? How do we coordinate our decision with customers, employees, and other stakeholders? Do we make commitments to returning to the office?Then, George Floyd was murdered on May 25th. Many companies rightly condemned his killing publicly but then were criticized from all sides for saying too much or not saying enough.Now many employers are struggling with returning employees to the workplace and whether they should mandate vaccinations. Once again, many employers are taking it in the pants from all sides.In a world where even a few motivated employees can create a furor on Twitter and social capital is measured with the same gravity as a profit and loss statement, quality internal and external communications are more critical than ever.About our Guest:Abby has over 15 years of experience leading Communications and Marketing for an international healthcare system, where she handled just about every type of Communications challenge a large organization could face, from bubonic plague and hurricanes to capital murder. That's how she became the person who'd pick up the phone when the construction crew found bodies under the building, and how she honed her Communications skills in the fast-paced world of crisis response.And although she still loves a good media issue, Abby didn't just respond to crises. She also led reorganization of that health system's marketing and communications functions, saving $4 million and improving market share in almost every market in year one alone. And during a time of intense growth, she directed merger and acquisition communications and market-entry marketing tactics as that organization experienced $1.6 billion global asset growth over only 18 months. She also she led that health system's COVID-19 communications through the pandemic, from the discovery of its first COVID-positive patients through the rush of initial vaccination panic and the first days of the delta variant.Now, she works to support businesses with all kinds of Marketing and Communications needs. She helps figure out how to attract and keep their customers through effective marketing, with a special focus on digital and social media. She helps engage their employees through impactful internal messaging. And she helps them solve some of their thorniest problems along the way.During her down time, she chases her two-year-old twins around the house and continues using her strategic Communications skills to convince her husband that her beloved San Antonio Spurs really are the best team in the NBA.

Friends,Our topic this week is employer-based healthcare, which accounts for nearly 50% of all the healthcare spend in the US. We'll kick off the episode dispelling some surprising misconceptions about how healthcare insurance actually works; which explains, in large part, how the costs of care continue to rise way beyond other costs of living. Our guest today, David Contorno is a nationally recognized expert in employee benefits. After nearly 20 years consulting to large national employers, David created E Powered Benefits: a benefits consulting firm whose mission is to deliver fully transparent, value-based benefit services. David has won numerous recognitions & awards, and has been a major contributor to the work and publications that Dave Chase has produced out of Health Rosetta, and the nationally recognized publications of Dr. Marty Makary. He mentors other benefits managers from across the country to transform their business models as well. In this episode, we'll discover:Some surprising insights into how healthcare insurance companies, insurance brokers and benefits managers are incentivized and bonused - and the conflict-of-interest that is built into the system.The radically different and transparent approach David Contorno takes in creating healthcare benefits programs for employers and employees.How his business model has produced average one-year savings of over 50%, along with substantially reduced out-of-pocket costs for employees - all while improving quality and experience of care.The specific approaches and tactics that David uses, targeted to decrease unnecessary healthcare costs. A real-life example of how David and his colleagues have reduced the costs of a 500 person company by $35 million over the past 5 years. The complexity and lack of transparency in our employer-based healthcare payment and insurance system make it incredibly challenging to understand or do much about - even for the expert employer-based HR benefits managers, whose job is to manage the costs and quality of care for their employees. In an attempt to provide some clarity, I'll summarize three significant take-home messages I gleaned during this interview:(I) the healthcare stakeholders that employers and employees rely on to manage quality & costs are not, for the most part, financially incentivized to lower costs, raise quality or improve outcomes of care.(II) The majority of healthcare insurance costs are actually medical costs; so the way to fix rising healthcare insurance costs is to address the detailed medical costs.. (III) The specific tactics that David focuses on include:(1) finding surgeons and surgical centers with higher quality outcomes and lower costs - centers that offer fixed-price bundled payments.(2) finding imaging centers that deliver state-of-the-art service at a fraction of the cost of high-priced centers.(3) purchasing medications outside of the traditional pharmacy benefits management (PBM) system - thus avoiding huge mark-ups.(4) providing value-based ‘direct primary care' for chronic diseases and preventive services. These models allow a physician to spend more time with their patients rather than be driven by Fee-For-Service, RVU-based, high-volume care.(5) Employers passing the savings onto their employees rather than the more typical employer approach of pass-through cost-shifting.What I truly admire about David Contorno is that he's adopted a radically different approach to the way that he and his company get paid. His compensation and bonus structure are based on lowering costs while assuring high quality care. And, his revenue is completely aligned with employers' and employees' best interests, not with those of corporate shareholders.Healthcare insurance and medical costs are a crippling problem for a significant and growing percentage of American employees and their families. The goal here is not to lay blame on legacy stakeholders in healthcare. Rather, it's to lay out for all to see that the fundamental payment structure and incentives in the system are misaligned and grossly maladapted for the purported purpose of healthcare - that is, of keeping employees and their families healthy. David sums it up in this way, “Every entity that an employer trusts to manage healthcare costs benefits [financially] from healthcare costs going up.” And so, as many have stated, our healthcare system isn't broken, it's perfectly designed to deliver the results it delivers. Until Next Time, Be Well.Zeev Neuwirth, MD

Attorney Frank Morris discusses the next steps for health care providers. In addition, covered employers should continue to monitor the recent litigation filed in the Eastern District of Missouri and the Western District of Louisiana seeking to permanently enjoin the CMS interim final rule.

Employers are tracking employee's work progress while working from home. A "Let's go Brandon" chant started in a church and a bear come into a 7/11 to use the hand sanitizer machine. More on the border crisis.
The past year has taken a huge toll on both tax professionals and taxpayers, something Taxgirl talks about frequently. According to a 2021 survey from Robert Half, more than 44% of employees say they are more burned out on their jobs today than they were a year ago. Employers and employees are seeking all kinds of solutions to burnout and the labor shortage. “People want to work in peace, not in pieces.” In today's age of workplace burnout, retaining happy and healthy employees is more important than ever. On today's episode of the Taxgirl podcast, Kelly is joined by Iralma Pozo to discuss how tax professionals can prioritize their wellbeing to curb burnout. Iralma is an independent consultant with more than 15 years of financial expertise, and an adjunct lecturer in Accounting at John Jay College in New York. She is an active member of the New York State Society of CPAs, and most of her experience is in the not-for-profit sector, having held financial leadership and public accounting related roles. She has also worked for the IRS, and has experience working with entrepreneurs, small businesses, and the real estate and insurance sectors. Listen to Kelly and Iralma talk about burnout and workplace wellbeing:What does Iralma think the tax code and related provisions can offer taxpayers, and how can tax professionals remain fulfilled and excited about their careers? Working from home (and spending more leisure time at home) means we are sitting more often than we used to. Iralma and Kelly talk about how standing desks, the benefits of carpet, and going for walks can all impact a person's mental wellbeing and productivity. How much of an employee's wellbeing falls on the employer? What items, practices, or trainings are truly “essential” to efficient and healthy remote work? What are the tax credits and/or benefits available to businesses to help them make employees most comfortable and prepared in such trying times? So many businesses say they've already accommodated everything they thought could be useful, so what else is there to help put their employees at ease? What are some things employers can do to turn things around for their employees? Iralma references Section 139, to start. Kelly says, happy employees are productive employees. Where does mental health and mental illness factor into employee wellbeing? Iralma talks about the remaining stigma with mental health, and what employers can do to bridge that gap. Iralma says, “Employers should be looking at supporting the whole person.” What does that mean for all aspects of an employee's work? Does it mean cutting down on meetings, covering therapy costs, offering more flexible hours? How can companies take into account “modern day living,” as Iralma calls it, and what can be done to ease the pressure on employees? Some companies like Bloomberg have started to offer anonymous tiered benefits (such as therapy) that have levels available to the employee without cost out of pocket. How are these services impacting the employee's wellbeing, for better or worse? How are these services being communicated? How can employers simplify their accommodations and benefits to their employees? So many employees say they weren't aware of certain benefits or didn't know they could submit a certain expense. Whether it's regular emails or an annual follow-up, HR departments can remind their employees of the benefits available to them. “Employers need to start incentivizing people by the results and the value, not just the utilization rates and the facetime,” Iralma says. People have new priorities these days, and when employers don't respect those, it contributes to stress and burnout. How can employers reshape the notion of “fun” or “perks” into self care, while maintaining the same level of priority and respect for employees that desire those aspects? Ultimately, employers are dealing with real people. Different...
On this episode of Financially Naked: Stories from The Financial Gym, our host is Joy, a North Carolina-based Financial Trainer, and she is joined by her client Colleen Gray. Colleen works in career services, is one of the warm-up callers at The Gym, and is also a career coach. Today, they are going to talk all about switching jobs, resumes, interview tips, and all things in between. More now than ever, folks are leaving their jobs in what is being called, ‘The Great Resignation'. If you are thinking about looking for a new job in your field or jumping into a new career entirely, you certainly aren't alone. Colleen works as a career coach and brings us lots of great tips for navigating the search all the way to the interview. WHERE TO START If you want to make a switch, take some time to sit down and reflect. Try to figure out what your passion is and what you want to do professionally. Is there an area you have talent in that you haven't explored yet? If you are happy in your field, but looking for a new position, start reaching out and making connections. Utilize LinkedIn and other platforms and start talking to people. Sometimes opportunities are really about who you know. WHERE TO SEARCH Job search engines like Indeed and LinkedIn are a great place to start. Google is also an amazing resource for searching for jobs. Search to see if your field has a niche job opportunity site, many of them do! Career and job fairs are also a great place to search. Lots right now are virtual and could help get your foot in the door or make new connections. Always check the job description to see what skills / experiences are ‘preferred' and which are ‘required' Even if you don't think you're qualified, apply anyway! It's all about getting your foot in the door. You can sell yourself in the interview. RESUME TIPS Ensure you're using a professional resume format. This could be chronological, functional, or a mix of both. Use the keywords from the job description in your resume. While this can be time-consuming, having a unique resume for each job is the best practice. Some companies use Applicant Tracking Software to scan resumes, and ones without keywords are passed. This isn't always the case, but it is something to be mindful of. When including keywords, make sure they are skills you have. Assume an employer will want to talk in-depth about the information on your resume, be honest. If there are gaps on your resume, explore your experience to fill in that gap. Many skills are transferable, even if the work wasn't from a ‘traditional job.' You can hire someone to help you write your resume, Colleen offers this as part of her coaching work. Always take the time to make sure whoever you hire is a good fit for you! Some folks are more hands-on, while others are more transactional. INTERVIEW TIPS Do your research! Get to know the company you are interviewing with. Look at their mission statement and core values. The more information you have going in, the better! Prepare before the interview day. Sit down with a blank paper or word document and recall some previous professional experiences. A time you went above and beyond, a mistake you made and how you recovered, or a time you experienced conflict are some examples. It's pretty common to freeze in the moment when asked to recall a previous experience, so preparing beforehand helps you be ready. Have a list of soft skills and hard skills, 6 with a mix of both is sufficient. Soft skills include time management, attention to detail, and organizational skills. Hard skills are more technical or related to your field. Avoid talking negatively about past employers during the interview Come prepared with great questions to ask the interviewer. This is an opportunity for you to see if they are a good fit for your life and goals! Joy interviews candidates for The Gym and confirms having really great questions as a candidate is impressive during the interview. Do practice/mock interviews. As with anything, the more practice, the easier the process becomes. You can do this with a coach like Colleen, a friend, or record a self-tape. GENERAL CAREER SEARCH TIPS Be confident in yourself Know your worth and don't be afraid to ask for it. Employers expect you to negotiate, do salary research before you interview. Looking for a job can feel like a full time job. If you're able to hire someone to help you, that's a great option. If not, set aside some time. Even if it is just an hour at night. The process can take time and it's important to dedicate the energy. Working with a professional career coach is a great option. Colleen helps clients do it all, from the job search to interview coaching. When working with a coach, use the initial consultation to ensure they're a good fit for you!

In this Real Estate News Brief for the week ending November 13th, 2021... the two Fed Chair finalists, the top property investing sector, and the billions earned from a pandemic fee on refinancing loans. 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 NewsWe begin with economic news from this past week. President Biden is reportedly close to a decision on who he'll nominate as chief of the Federal Reserve. Fed Chief Jerome Powell's four-year term is up in February, and it appears that Biden is now deciding whether to keep Powell or replace him with Fed Governor Lael Brainard. Brainard is considered more progressive than Powell. She's described in a Barron's article as more “dovish on monetary policy and stronger on bank regulation.” Some Fed watchers also believe that Brainard is more in tune with Biden's economic agenda, but Powell has strong support from moderate Democrats and Republicans, which gives him an edge over Brainard. Biden has said he'll make a decision “fairly quickly.” Some believe he'll announce a nomination by Thanksgiving. (1) (2) Whoever lands that job will be tackling inflation, which surged to a 31-year-high this last week. The consumer price index was up .9% in October, according to the government. That raises the annual rate of inflation from 5.4% in September to 6.2% in October, which is more than triple the Fed's target of 2%. It's also the highest rate of inflation since November of 1990. If you eliminate higher prices for food and energy, the core CPI is about 4.6%. That's up from 4% in September. (3)The gauge the Fed watches more closely is the PCE which stands for personal consumption expenditures. That's rising more slowly. The PCE was 4.4% in September and 3.6% for the core rate. October numbers haven't come out yet.Initial applications for state unemployment benefits dropped again. There were just 267,000 new claims last week while layoffs also fell to a record low. (4) Employers have been struggling to find enough workers to fill positions. There are currently 10.4 million job openings and just 7.4 million people listed as unemployed. One result of this lopsided situation: Companies are increasing hourly rates to attract candidates. Data from Indeed.com shows that jobs offering less than $15 an hour are scarce. (5)Consumers are not very happy about the current economic situation. The University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index fell to its lowest level in a decade. The November reading was 66.8. That's a drop of about five points from October, and about 35 points lower than the pre-pandemic reading of 101. (6)Mortgage RatesOn a more positive note, mortgage rates dipped below the 3% level this last week. Freddie Mac says the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage was down 11 basis points to 2.98%. The 15-year was 2.27%. (7)In other news making headlines…Single-Family Build-to-Rent BoomInvestors are clamoring into the single-family build-to-rent market, as demand and rents soar. A new Green Street report shows that investors are earning 8% on average. That is the highest amount among the 18 property sectors analyzed by Green Street. As reported by the Wall Street Journal, the weighted average return for all property sectors is 6.1%. (8)Housing economics consultant, Brad Hunter, says that builders provided almost 100,000 new rental homes in 2021, and that investors have pumped about $30 billion into this corner of the real estate market. The momentum has created a frenzy for land that's suitable for build-to-rent. One builder told the Journal: “You almost have to find the land before it gets put on the market.”GSE Bonanza from Adverse Market FeeRemember the “adverse market fee” on refinancing loans during the pandemic? It was a 50 basis point fee for refi loans backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and it earned those two GSEs a bundle!According to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, Fannie and Freddie earned $5.3 billion from that fee. (9) It says the money will cover about 70% of the cost of the GSE's Covid relief programs, such as the moratorium on foreclosures, and forbearance programs that allowed homeowners to skip their mortgage payments. The adverse market fee was in force for about 10 months, starting in October of last year.Opendoor Buys RedDooriBuyer Opendoor will be able to pre-approve applicants in just “one” minute, with the acquisition of online mortgage broker RedDoor. The mortgage company was founded in 2018 and has partnered up with more than 70 lenders. (10)The announcement comes at a time when Zillow has announced the elimination of its iBuying program, and has created doubts about the profitability of the iBuying business. But as HousingWire reports: “Some investors see add-on services… (like mortgages) as a possible way for iBuyers to eventually turn a profit.”Opendoor expanded into the mortgage business in 2019. And it reportedly “smashed through” earnings estimates for the third quarter with 5,988 homes sold. Year-over-year revenue was up 570%. With Zillow out of the picture, Opendoor now has one less competitor. That's it for today. Check the show notes for links.
