What we've seen over the last few years are historic low interest rates, but we're being told 6-8 months to a year is that higher interest rates are coming, that inflation was coming. In fact, what has happened, is that the Federal Reserve, who controls the borrowing rate for banks has said that they will raise that rate at least four times. They have so far stuck to that plan. What does this mean for you?

Buyer burnout is buyers basically giving up on the process of buying a home. Because the process has become so difficult, they're frustrated because it's taking so long to get an offer accepted. It's taking longer to get anything that's reasonably what you want, so we have a lot of buyers coming to the market and leaving the market before they actually find the house because they're stressed and frustrated from the process. So, what we're going to talk about today is how do you avoid buyer burnout in today's market, and what I really want to give you is the tools to set you up to buy in this market and not get frustrated.

Why is Wall Street buying Single-Family Homes? How will the Ukraine-Russia conflict affect interest rates?

What is the right strategy for real estate in 2022? The recent market has experienced very high appreciation rates and low-interest rates.

John Maxwell said: “A budget is telling our money what to do instead of wondering where it went.” We can control our budget. We can't control what our money does if we have no plan for it. If you're happy where you are financially, then keep down that road. If you aren't then the sum of all your decisions hasn't been the right plan. Taking on debt is a risk. It should be perceived that way. So, when taking on a mortgage we must take calculated risks with long-term financial rewards in mind.

Back when I was growing up the ideal family was the Cleavers in the popular 1957 television sitcom, Leave It to Beaver. But the truth is families aren't generally like that. People are flawed. And flawed parents make flawed decisions that create flawed environments. And sadly, though it is normal to desire a loving mutually supportive relationship with mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins and so on, sometimes that is not possible. To dive more deeply, I invited Certified Transformation Life Coach, Teshubiyah Elias of The Growth Project who says “Yes, they are my family, but I am my family too.” ABOUT TESHUBIYAHTeshubiyah Elias, founder of The Growth Project and Coach to women who have experienced trauma, is herself a survivor of a life of trauma from the time she was a toddler. On Instagram, she is very candid about the challenge of pursuing health and wellness yet surrounded by family members whose development has been complicated by addiction and incarceration. Daily, she chooses her emotional health and wellbeing over the blind obedience of her toddler and 13 year old self. Her discovery of her purpose happened as she shared her experiences openly on social media. This led to women asking her questions like how did you survive this, how did you deal with that, and sharing their experiences of trauma too. It was their vulnerability and deep desire for help that inspired her to get even more serious about her growth. She now assists women through the healing process by encouraging them to confront their pain, realize that they are not alone, and through communication with others, to feel hope. Her Solutions-Focused Coaching formula is Self Awareness, Self Acceptance, & Execution. She believes that Through Self-Accountability, Intentional Healing and having the tough conversations, you can CHANGE THE NARRATIVE!

Investigating homicides, leading international teams into scenes of crisis and disaster is not your normal path to global keynote speaker and business consultant. It was this unique path that provided insights into leadership which are so different yet offer relevant reflections and learnings to businesses facing change, growth or challenges of their own. Peter Baines worked in countries following major crisis including Indonesia, Japan, Thailand and Saudi Arabia. His grounding came from two decades as a forensic investigator that saw him unravel the mysteries and discover the secrets of criminals thought rested solely with them. Prior to finishing his career as a forensic investigator he would spend time working with both Interpol in Lyon, France and the United Nations Office of Drug and Crime advising on Counter Terrorism and capacity building. But it was the work in Thailand that brought the biggest change. In response to the needs of the children left without a home or parents he would form Hands Across the Water and commence fundraising in Australia to build them a home. Ten years after starting the charity he now spends much of his time helping other charity leaders through The Growth Project and advises business on how they can and indeed should benefit from their engagement with their community partners through corporate social responsibility programs. If you'd like to speak with Peter to enquire on his services or support his charity, you can do at his website.
