Today's episode is an excerpt from Jason's Wednesday masterclass podcast focusing on co-living as a real estate investment strategy, featuring an expert named Eric Halverson, focusing particularly on the Phoenix market. Jason explains his previous skepticism and newfound confidence in co-living due to the increasing housing shortage and shrinking average household size in the U.S. They highlight the high returns and affordability solutions that co-living offers, particularly for the "working poor," contrasting the current market with the Great Recession. Eric shares his experience in the Atlanta market, discussing the operational mechanics of converting single-family homes into multi-room rentals with weekly payments, emphasizing the strong demand and the limited supply of suitable properties. They strongly advocate for direct investment in leveraged real estate, illustrating how the asset class outperforms others like the S&P 500 and gold when factoring in leverage and tax benefits.

The 9Innings Podcast

In this episode of the "9innigns Podcast," Kevin Thompson, founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group, analyzes the Federal Reserve's recent 25 basis point rate cut. He explains that while the cut aims to stimulate economic growth, its impact on consumers is minimal due to high borrowing costs and tight lending standards. Thompson highlights that the primary beneficiary is the U.S. government, which can refinance its debt more cheaply. He also clarifies that mortgage rates are unlikely to fall significantly, as they are driven by broader market forces rather than the Fed's short-term rate adjustments.Limited Consumer Impact of Rate Cut (00:02:35)Government as Main Beneficiary (00:03:59)Mortgage Rates and Market Forces (00:05:05)Economic Contradictions and Realities (00:06:17)Fed's Balancing Act and Overheating Risks (00:07:39)Summary and Sticky Inflation Warning (00:09:10)Closing Remarks and Call to Action (00:11:51)NEWSLETTER (WHAT NOW): https://substack.com/@9icapital?r=2eig6s&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page Follow Us: youtube: / @9icapLinkedin: / kevin-thompson-ricp%c2%ae-cfp%c2%ae-74964428 facebook: / mlb2cfp Buy MLB2CFP Here: https://www.amazon.com/MLB-CFP%C2%AE-90-Feet-Counting-ebook/dp/B0BLJPYNS4 Website: http://www.9icapitalgroup.com Hit the subscribe button to get new content notifications.

Jason addresses investors, first focusing on personal finance issues like taxes then discusses the current state and future of the housing market. He shares optimistic news regarding Federal Reserve rate cuts and the resulting positive impact on housing demand, predicting a surge in potential buyers and subsequent bidding wars due to low inventory. Furthermore, Jason presents data suggesting that existing homeowners are not in distress, indicating that a housing crash is unlikely, and notes that institutional investors are actively acquiring properties. Jason concludes by promoting an upcoming investor JHU event, property tour, and educational session focusing on real estate opportunities, including co-living, and invites listeners to join his Wednesday Masterclass. Jason welcomes Jack Evans, an enrolled agent and founder of Jack's Tax, to discuss tax strategies for real estate investors and the differences between CPAs and enrolled agents. Jack explains that enrolled agents are federally licensed tax professionals who focus on tax law, unlike CPAs who are state-licensed and perform business audits.

Jason talks about political violence and media coverage, followed by an analysis of the housing market and recent rate cuts. He introduced various investment opportunities, including co-living properties and home equity investments, while discussing upcoming economic developments and the launch of an AI chatbot tool. He ends with information about upcoming events in Phoenix and encourages listeners to utilize the free AI resource for financial advice and market analysis. Jason then welcomes Kevin Erdmann, author and housing analyst, where he challenges the common belief that an oversupply of housing caused the 2008 Great Recession. Erdman argues that a housing shortage, particularly in coastal regions, led to migration and subsequent demand spikes in other areas like Phoenix and Las Vegas. He attributes the 2008 crisis and the ensuing market collapse primarily to the federal government's tightening of mortgage availability, not an overbuilt market. Erdmann also discusses the current and future state of the housing market, asserting that a significant housing shortage persists and will take many years to resolve, influencing factors like rent inflation, household formation, and even fertility rates. #KevinErdman #HousingShortage #GreatRecession #MortgageCrackdown #RegulatoryCrackdowns #PopulationGrowth #HouseholdFormation #RentInflation #RegionalShortages #MigrationEvent #HousingCrisis #ConstructionTrends #FailureToLaunch #ExpertsAreWrong   https://kevinerdmann.substack.com/   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:27 Charlie Kirk the fascist 4:34 Seek out alternative news source 7:47 Rate cut; a little, too late 9:00 Join us at Phoenix https://www.jasonhartman.com/Phoenix  12:04 Very motivated builders 13:16 https://JasonHartman.com/Ai   Kevin Erdmann interview 16:43 The reason we went into a recession 29:56 Sponsor: https://www.monetary-metals.com/Hartman 30:29 What is the state of the housing market currently 39:21 Chart: Housing inventory 47:32 Fertility and singing a different tune  by 2040   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Can Fed Cuts Bring Mortgage Rates Down?

For investors looking to make sense of housing-related assets amidst changes in Fed policy stance, our co-heads of Securitized Product Research Jay Bacow and James Egan offer their perspective on mortgage rates and the market.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript ----- James Egan: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Jim Egan, co-head of Securitized Products Research at Morgan Stanley.Jay Bacow: I'm Jay Bacow, the other co-head of Securitized Products Research at Morgan Stanley.Today we're talking about the Fed, mortgage rates and the implications to the housing market.It's Monday, September 15th at 11:30am in New York.Now Jim, the Fed is meeting on Wednesday, and both our economists and the market are expecting them to cut rates in this meeting – and continue to cut rates at least probably two more times in 2025, and multiple times in 2026. We've talked a lot about the challenges and the affordability in the U.S. homeowners' market, in the U.S. mortgage market.Before we get into what this could help [with] the affordability challenges, how bad is that affordability right now?James Egan: Sure. And as we've discussed on this podcast in the past, one of the biggest issues with the affordability challenges in the U.S. housing market specifically is how it's fed through to supply issues as the lock-in effect has kept homeowners with low 30-year mortgage rates from listing their homes.But just how locked in does the market remain today? The effective rate on the outstanding mortgage market, kind of the average of the mortgages outstanding, is below 4.25 percent. The prevailing rate for 30-year mortgages today is still over 6.25 percent, so we're talking about two full percentage points, 200 basis points outta the money.Jay Bacow: And that seems like a lot. Has it been that way in the past?James Egan: If we look at roughly 40 years of data ending in 2022, the market was only 100 basis points outta the money for eight individual quarters. The most it was ever out of the money was 135 basis points. We have now been more than 200 basis points out of the the money for three entire years, 12 consecutive quarters. So, this is very unprecedented in the past several decades.But Jay, our economists are calling for Fed cuts, the market's pricing in Fed cuts. How much lower is the mortgage rate going for these affordability equations?Jay Bacow: We actually don't think that the Fed cutting rates necessarily is going to cause the mortgage rate to come down at all. And one way we can think about this is if we look at it, the Fed has already cut rates 100 basis points over the past year, and since the Fed has cut rates 100 basis points in the past year, the mortgage rate is 25 basis points higher.James Egan: Okay, so if I'm not going to be looking at Fed funds for the path of mortgage rates going forward, I have two questions for you.One, what part of the Treasury term structure should I be looking at? And two, you talked about the market pricing in Fed cuts from here. What is the market saying about where those rates will be in the future?Jay Bacow: So, mortgage rates are much more sensitive to the belly of the Treasury curve. Call it the 5- and 10-year portions than Fed funds. They have a little bit of sensitivity to the third year note as well. And when we think about what the market is expecting those portions of the Treasury curve to do, I apologize, I'm going to have to nerd out. Fortunately, being a nerd comes very naturally to me.If you look at the spread between the 5- and the 10-year portion of the treasury curve, 10 years yield about 50 basis points more than the 5-year note. So, you think about it, an investor could buy a 10-year note now. Or they could buy a 5-year note now and then another 5-year note in five years, and they should expect to get the same return if they do either one.So, if they buy the 10-year note right now at 50 basis points above where the 5-year note is. Or they buy the 5-year note, right now, the 5-year note in five years would have to yield 100 basis points above to get the average to be the same. Well, if the 5-year note in five years is 100 basis points above where the 5-year note is right now, mortgage rates are also probably going to be higher in five years.James Egan: Okay, so that's not helping the affordability issues. What can be done to lower mortgage rates from here?Jay Bacow: Well, going back to my inner nerd, if you brought the 5- and 10-year Treasury yields down, that would certainly be helpful. But mortgage rates aren't just predicated on where the Treasury yields are.There's also a risk premium on top of that. And so, if the mortgage originators can sell those loans to other investors at a tighter spread, that would also help bring the rate down. And there are things that can be done on that front. So, for instance, if the capital requirements for investors to own those mortgages go down, that would certainly be helpful.You could try to incentivize investors in a number of different ways, that's one front. But in reality, a lot of these fees are already sort of stuck in place. So, there's only so much that can be done.Now, Jim, let's suppose. I am wrong. I've been wrong in the past. A lot of times with you. I thought the Patriots were gonna beat the Giants in both Super Bowls. Somehow Eli Manning proved me wrong.However, if the mortgage rate does come down, how much does it have to come down for housing activity to start picking up?James Egan: So, this is a question we get asked roughly six to seven times a day…Jay Bacow: How did Eli Manning beat the Patriots?James Egan: How far mortgage rates have to come down in order to really get housing sales started again. And because of the backdrop of today's housing and mortgage markets that we laid out at the top of this podcast, it's really difficult to empirically point to a mortgage rate and calculate this is where rates have to fall to.So, what we have been doing instead is looking at historic periods of affordability improvement, and seeing how much do we need to get that affordability ratio down to get a sustainable growth in sales volumes from here.Jay Bacow: All right. And how much do we have to get that affordability ratio down?James Egan: So, a sustainable increase; historically, we've needed about a 10 percent improvement in the affordability ratio…Jay Bacow: Alright, help me out here. I think about mortgage payments as more of a function of the rate level. So, if we're in the context of like 6.25, 6.5 right now, how far does the mortgage rate need to drop to get a 10 percent improvement? Assuming that there's no change in borrower's income or home prices.James Egan: In that world, we think you need about 100 basis point move. It would take the 30-year mortgage rate to call it, 5.5 percent.Jay Bacow: All right, so if mortgage rates go to 5.5 percent, then we're going to immediately see housing activity pickup.James Egan: That is not exactly what we're saying. What we've seen is the 10 percent improvement is enough to get sustainable growth in sales volumes. A year after you start to see that real improvement, the contemporaneous moves can be up, they can be down. Given what our economists are saying for the labor market going forward, what they're saying for growth in the United States, we do think you can see a little bit of contemporaneous growth.If you start to see that 100 basis point move in mortgage rates now, we think you'll get about a 5 percent increase in purchase volumes as we move through 2026 with the potential for upward inflection in 2027 from that 5 percent growth number – again, if we get that move in mortgage rates.Jay Bacow: Alright, so we expect the Fed to cut rates about 150 basis points over the next year and a half. It doesn't necessarily have to bring the mortgage rate down. But if the mortgage rate does go down to in the context of 5.5 percent, we should start to get a pickup in housing activity maybe the year after that.Jim, always a pleasure talking to you.James Egan: Pleasure talking to you too, Jay.
