Episode 99: Bond Buybacks, Job Market Illusions & the Fed's Standstill This week on Drunk Real Estate, the crew tackles one of the biggest questions in the current economy: Can the government actually bring interest rates down—without the Fed's help? As the Treasury prepares for its first bond buyback program in over two decades, we unpack what that really means, how it differs from quantitative easing, and whether it's a sign of quiet panic behind the scenes. We also cover:

Episode 98: Are We Hitting a Wall? Rising Debt, Bond Market Chaos & the Fed's Next Move In this week's episode of Drunk Real Estate, we dive into the growing storm in the debt markets and what it means for real estate investors, the U.S. economy, and interest rates going forward. With U.S. debt exploding past $36 trillion, bond auctions failing, and interest payments projected to hit $1 trillion annually, the crew breaks down what's really happening behind the headlines—and why the Fed may be nearing a breaking point. We cover: - Moody's downgrade and its message to investors - Why 20- and 30-year bonds are being rejected by the market - The Fed's balance sheet roll-off and its unintended consequences - Could a debt spiral force the Fed to reverse course on QT? - Why Japan, Germany & global forces are quietly reshaping bond demand - What the SOFR curve is telling us about long-term rates - How all of this ties back to commercial real estate, cap rates, and refinance risk This episode connects the macro puzzle pieces—from treasury stress to real estate fallout—in the way only Drunk Real Estate can.

This week, we have a special guest preacher - Graduated Senior T.J. Scott! In this message, T.J. hits on 1) why we can logically follow Christ, 2) how to interpret and understand biblical commands, and 3) the amazing love that God has for us.

Episode 97: Empty Ships, Soaring Tariffs & the Supply Chain Squeeze This week on Drunk Real Estate, we unpack the economic storm forming at U.S. ports—where incoming ships are arriving nearly empty, and retailers are bracing for a 40% increase in import costs due to new tariffs on Chinese goods. While inflation headlines cool off, the real pressure is building where it matters most: logistics, trade, and the price tags on everything we buy. From shipping slowdowns and job risk at ports to retail panic and the Fed's silent struggle, this episode connects the dots that most people are missing.

A recession isn't a time to panic—it's a time to build wealth. If you're listening to this podcast, you're already multiple steps ahead of the masses that shift their mindset with every news story shouting from the rooftops that a crash, correction, or recession is coming. Savvy investors are sitting, waiting, knowing that if a recession does come, deals usually do, too. Want to build wealth during a recession instead of losing your head? J Scott, author of Recession-Proof Real Estate Investing, is here to show you how. J says there are three things every investor should be doing before a recession to be in the best position possible. If you follow these three, relatively simple, steps, you'll be ready to buy deals at a steep discount while average Americans miss out on yet another opportunity to invest. This happened in 2008, and many modern investors regret not having the means to buy back then. Plus, J outlines the real estate deals that work best in a recession, whether you're a buy-and-hold landlord or a flipper/renovator. Some homes have serious risks attached to them during downturns, while others offer wealth-preserving (and building) opportunities. Here's how to invest in real estate if a 2025 recession hits. In This Episode We Cover The three things every investor must do to prepare for a recession  Time to sell? Why offloading a poorly performing rental now could be a smart move What to do right now if you have rental properties (and want to keep your cash flow going!) The business “cycle” and why we may be at the “peak” before the fall  Building your recession-proof strategy so you DON'T deviate from it when times get tough  And So Much More!

Episode 95: Tariffs, Layoffs & a Slowing Economy – Are We Already in Trouble? This week on Drunk Real Estate, we unpack the growing signs that the economy might already be in the early stages of a slowdown or recession. From empty shipping ports and declining imports to rising tariffs, inflation pressure, and layoffs, the data is painting a confusing—but concerning—picture. We discuss:

What the heck is happening with the US economy? Stocks are down, now they're up, mortgage rates are dropping—wait, scratch that—they're back up again, the Fed could have a new chair, and if they cut rates, interest rates could…rise? A “technical” recession is on the way, but will it have the same effects as the last one? We need some backup to explain the state of the US economy, and J Scott is here to do just that. J wrote the book on Recession-Proof Real Estate Investing and is known as one of the most economically aware real estate investors. Today, we're diving into it all: mortgage rates, recession chances, inflation rates, tariffs, trade wars, future home price predictions, and what J plans to do with his money. Home prices are already unstable, but could a recession, combined with high inventory and low demand, push us over the edge? This may not be another 2008, for many reasons, but the psychological effect of a recession can be severe—especially on homebuyers and sellers. We're giving you J's complete overview of the economy today. In This Episode We Cover Whether or not home prices are at risk as we enter a “technical” recession J's investment plan for 2025 and the assets he's most bullish on The massive undersupply problem that's propping up the housing market Inflation forecasts and the unexpected tariff side effects that could cost Americans Why “just buy American” won't stop you from feeling inflation How the Fed cutting rates could…raise rates?

Episode 94: Trump, The Fed & The Mar-a-Lago Accord – Is the Dollar at Risk? In this episode of Drunk Real Estate, we dive into the rising tension between Donald Trump and the Federal Reserve, and the growing speculation about a radical new economic plan—the so-called Mar-a-Lago Accord. Is Trump planning to intentionally weaken the U.S. dollar through tariffs and monetary policy? Can he actually fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell? And what would it mean for the global economy, interest rates, and real estate investors if he does? We cover:

Episode 93! In this week's episode of Drunk Real Estate, the team dives into the surging bond yields, collapsing liquidity, and growing fears that the U.S. treasury market is flashing major warning signs. Is China dumping U.S. debt? Are leveraged bond trades putting the global economy at risk? And how will this all impact real estate investors, mortgage rates, and Fed policy?

Sweeping new tariffs are causing sharp economic ripple effects, with stock valuations dropping last week and Americans bracing for renewed inflation. This shift creates both new risks and opportunities for real estate investors—especially passive LPs evaluating upcoming deals. Amid this uncertainty, bond yields and mortgage rates are falling fast—a welcome shift for GPs grappling with bridge loans or variable-rate debt. The question LP investors must ask themselves now is: how do I protect my portfolio during downturns like this AND jump on opportunities coming down the pipeline? To help answer, we brought on J Scott. He's been investing in real estate for decades, with more experience in multifamily and single-family than most. J shares how tariffs could influence multifamily real estate and their broader economic implications. From mortgage rates to US dollar dominance, rent growth risks, and more, he gives his up-to-date view and reveals his strategy on what he's doing now to protect his capital without taking on unnecessary risk.  Disclaimer The content of this podcast is for informational purposes only.

Is now the time to stop investing and start saving cash instead? As an “asset bubble” balloons larger and larger, every investment is looking overpriced.

Recession fears are increasing. The stock market has taken substantial hits, housing inventory is climbing, and bank account balances are starting to fall. So, with more economic turmoil, we have to ask: will the housing market crash? And if we get a housing market crash, how bad (or good) will it be for investors? Could we see a 2008-style selloff, or should we be more prepared for small dips worth taking advantage of? Today, we're asking two top investors these questions, one of whom literally wrote the book on Recession-Proof Real Estate Investing. J Scott and James Dainard join us on today's episode to discuss market crash predictions, scenarios, and opportunities for real estate investors. Both J and James experienced the 2008 housing market crash—an economic event almost impossible to forget. But is 2024 shaping up for a sharp decline like 2008, or will we simply see a slower real estate market like most people had expected when interest rates began to rise? If the market DOES crash, what should you look for to take advantage, and how do you ensure you don't get caught biting off more than you can chew? J and James break down their game plans if prices fall and why buying now could set you up for wealth ten years from now, IF you can handle the “fear” of buying when others are running from real estate. In This Episode We Cover New housing market “crash” predictions and how low prices could go Why economic “fear” is rising now, and the recession indicators that are going off Rising housing inventory and why experienced investors expected this already The difference between the 2008 housing market crash and today What could cause a housing crash and how to know it's time to buy The immense opportunities for investors that 99% of Americans will pass up And So Much More!

Real estate investing in 2024 isn't as easy as a few years ago. When interest rates are low, housing inventory is high, the economy is booming, and everyone's happy, real estate investors can take considerably more risks with bigger payoffs. But now, only the most savvy investors are finding cash flow, appreciation potential, and wealth-building properties. So, with little hope in sight for lower rates or home prices, how do you ensure you're building wealth, not getting burnt, in the challenging 2024 housing market? If there's one person who knows how to invest during tough times, it's J Scott. He literally wrote the book on recession-proof real estate investing and has flipped, landlorded, and syndicated through booms, busts, and the in-between periods. Today, J is laying down his six rules for real estate investing in 2024, which he's following himself to ensure his portfolio doesn't just survive but thrive, no matter what the housing market throws his way. First, we dive into the factors causing such a harsh housing market and whether J thinks home prices will rise, flatten, or crash. Next, J walks through the six rules for real estate investing in 2024. We'll talk about appreciation potential, rising expenses like insurance and property taxes, the riskiest investing strategies of today, loans that'll put your real estate deals at risk, and why you MUST start paying attention to your local housing laws.  Support today's show sponsor, Rent App: the free and easy way to collect rent!
