In this season of Building Better Developers with AI, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a past topic: 'Transform Your Projects: The Ultimate Guide to Effective User Stories.' This episode offers a fresh perspective on how teams can achieve greater success by writing better user stories. The hosts initially tackled this subject in an earlier season, but they return to it because the challenge remains timeless: poorly written user stories continue to derail software projects. This time, they dive deeper into lessons learned, customer-centric approaches, and frameworks that make user stories truly work. Why Writing Better User Stories Still Matters Rob opens with a familiar frustration: sitting in sprint planning and realizing the user stories don't make sense. Vague requirements create confusion, rework, and wasted effort. A user story is not a specification—it's a promise for a conversation that builds shared understanding. By writing better user stories, teams maintain focus on outcomes, rather than implementation. They deliver features that users actually need, instead of technical solutions that fall short. The Philosophy of Writing Better User Stories User stories should always: Stay customer-centric by focusing on what the user wants, not the technical details. Break down work into small, manageable chunks that improve agility and estimation. Emphasize outcomes over implementation, avoiding the trap of data tables and CSS classes too early. Rob illustrates this with the ATM example: “As a customer, I want to withdraw cash so that I can access money in my account.” This keeps the story grounded in the user's experience. The Anatomy of Writing Better User Stories At the core of writing better user stories is a simple formula that makes requirements clear and human: As a [user role] I want [goal] So that [reason] This framework ensures that every story is tied directly to a user's perspective, their needs, and the value they'll receive. However, strong stories extend beyond this sentence structure. Rob and Michael highlight two key frameworks that add depth and clarity: The Three C's – Card, Conversation, and Confirmation, which explain how stories spark dialogue and define “done.” The INVEST Model – Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, and Testable- is a checklist that helps teams evaluate whether a story is ready to move forward. Finally, one important reminder: each story should only have one meaning. If a story can be interpreted in multiple ways—or contains “if/then” scenarios—it should be split into smaller, more focused stories. This keeps the backlog clean and avoids confusion later in development. The Three C's of Writing Better User Stories 1. Card The card represents the user story itself. Traditionally, teams would write stories on index cards. Today, tools like Jira, Trello, or Asana take their place. The key is that the card is just a placeholder for a conversation, not the entire requirement. It captures the essence of the story but leaves room for discussion. 2. Conversation The conversation is where the real value happens. Developers, product owners, and stakeholders discuss the story, ask clarifying questions, and uncover details that weren't written down. These discussions ensure that the team shares a common understanding of the user's needs. Without this step, the story risks being too vague or misinterpreted. 3. Confirmation The confirmation defines how the team knows the story is complete. This typically takes the form of acceptance criteria or test cases. Confirmation transforms a story from an idea into a verifiable piece of functionality. It answers the critical question: What does “done” look like? Card captures the idea. Conversation builds the understanding. Confirmation proves the work is complete. The INVEST Model for Writing Better User Stories The INVEST model is a simple but powerful checklist that helps ensure user stories are clear, practical, and actionable. Each letter represents a quality that a strong user story should have. Independent A good user story should stand on its own. That means it can be developed, tested, and delivered without being blocked by another story. Independence reduces dependencies and keeps projects moving smoothly. Negotiable User stories are not contracts carved in stone—they're open to discussion. Teams should be able to negotiate details, scope, and implementation during conversations. This flexibility encourages collaboration and prevents rigid requirements that may not fit real-world needs. Valuable If a story doesn't provide business or user value, it doesn't belong in the backlog. Every story should clearly tie back to outcomes that matter for the end-user or the organization. This keeps the team focused on delivering impact, not just features. Estimable A story should be clear enough that the team can estimate the effort to complete it. If it's too vague or too large, it can't be accurately sized. Estimable stories make sprint planning realistic and help track progress more effectively. Small Stories should be small enough to complete within a single iteration. Large stories, sometimes called “epics,” should be broken down into smaller, more manageable pieces. Small stories are easier to understand, estimate, and test. Testable Finally, a user story must be testable. The team needs to know how to verify it's “done.” This often takes the form of acceptance criteria or test cases, ensuring the functionality can be validated from the user's perspective. The INVEST model keeps stories clear, focused, and actionable. If a story fails any of these tests, refine it before moving forward. Lessons From the Trenches: Writing Better User Stories in Practice Michael highlights a recurring issue: customers often don't fully understand their “why.” They may use outdated paper trails, redundant processes, or even misuse tools they already own. Sometimes developers must reverse-engineer requirements by observing workflows, asking why at each step, and uncovering hidden pain points. Rob adds that trust plays a huge role—stakeholders may initially follow the “official” process, but only reveal their real practices after rapport is established. Avoiding Common Pitfalls Even with good intentions, stories can fall short when they are: Too vague or incomplete. Disconnected from actual business processes. Written without acceptance criteria. Michael stresses that implied requirements are dangerous. Developers should always strive for clearly defined acceptance criteria that leave no room for ambiguity or uncertainty. Practical Tips for Writing Better User Stories The hosts wrap up with actionable guidance for developers: Speak up – Don't code vague tickets without asking questions. Push for the “so that” – The business value matters most. Write acceptance criteria – Define what “done” means. Break down big stories – Smaller, testable stories are easier to validate. Stay user-focused – Keep technical details in subtasks, not in the story. Example: Bad: Add a contact form. Good: As a potential customer, I want to fill out a contact form with my name, email, and message, so that I can get in touch with the company about their services. This richer story sparks the right questions: Which fields are required? Should multiple contact methods be supported? These clarifications lead to solutions that match real needs. Final Thoughts By revisiting this subject, Rob and Michael remind us that user stories are more than backlog items—they are bridges between developers and customers. Writing better user stories keeps teams aligned, prevents rework, and ensures projects deliver meaningful results. Implied requirements are not good requirements. Defined requirements are good requirements. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

What happens when you discover that everything you've been taught to accept without question—from lender rates to management contracts—is actually negotiable? In this continuation episode, Angel Williams and Bethany Finch dive deeper into the hard-earned lessons that come from real estate investing mistakes. Bethany reveals why she never accepts a contract without red-lining it first, how a coaching breakthrough taught her that "everything is negotiable," and why teachers must unlearn the habit of accepting status quo. Angel shares her own painful lessons about property management contracts and trust account nightmares that left six figures inaccessible during a crisis. This conversation explores how educators can transfer their problem-solving skills to real estate while breaking free from the employee mindset that limits their negotiating power.

I. Check-Specific RulesOverdrafts:Definition: A check written for an amount that exceeds the available balance in the account.Bank's Options:Pay the check and charge the customer an overdraft fee.Dishonor the check and return it unpaid to the payee.Cover the overdraft through an overdraft protection plan if available.Postdated Checks:Definition: A check with a future date written on it.Bank's Obligation: Generally, a bank should not pay a postdated check before the date written on it.Customer's Right: A customer can order the bank to pay a postdated check before its date, but must give the bank reasonable notice.Stop-Payment Orders:Definition: A customer's order to the bank not to pay a specific check.Requirements:Must be given in time for the bank to have a reasonable opportunity to act.Can be oral or written.Oral stop-payment order is valid for 14 days, while a written order is valid for 6 months and can be renewed.Bank's Liability: If the bank pays a check in spite of a valid stop-payment order, it is liable to the customer for the amount of the check.II. Bank Collection ProcessDepositary Bank: The first bank to receive a check for deposit.Intermediary Banks: Any bank (other than the payor bank and the depositary bank) handling the check during the collection process.Payor Bank: The bank on which the check is drawn (i.e., the bank of the account holder who wrote the check).Process:Depositor presents check to the depositary bank.Depositary bank sends the check through the check collection system.Check may pass through intermediary banks.Check is presented to the payor bank for payment.Payor bank either pays or dishonors the check.III. Exam ScenariosDishonored Checks:Bank refuses to pay a check.Reasons: Insufficient funds, stop-payment order, closed account, etc.Consequences: Payee can sue the drawer of the check for the amount of the check plus any applicable fees.Improper Endorsements:Endorsement on the check does not match the name of the payee.Bank may refuse to pay the check or may be liable for conversion if it pays the check to the wrong person.Missing or Forged Endorsements:Endorsement is missing or forged.Bank may be liable for conversion if it pays the check without a proper endorsement.Bank Liability:Bank can be liable for various issues, including paying a check over a valid stop-payment order, paying a check with a forged endorsement, or mishandling the check collection process.UCC Article 4 governs bank deposits and collections and outlines the rights and responsibilities of banks and customers.IV. Additional ConsiderationsElectronic Check Presentment: Check images are electronically transmitted for faster processing and clearing.Check 21 Act: Allows for the use of substitute checks (electronic images of original checks) to replace the physical movement of paper checks.Regulation CC (Expedited Funds Availability Act): Sets rules for how quickly banks must make funds available to customers after a check is deposited.The Role of the Federal Reserve System: The Federal Reserve plays a key role in the check collection process by clearing checks between banks and ensuring the smooth operation of the payment system.
Parties' LiabilityMaker/Drawer: The maker of a note or the drawer of a check is primarily liable for the instrument. This means they are obligated to pay the instrument when it becomes due, according to its terms.Endorser/Indorser: An endorser is secondarily liable. They only become liable if the maker/drawer defaults on the instrument, and proper presentment and notice of dishonor have been given.Acceptor: An acceptor is a drawee (such as a bank) who has agreed to pay a draft. By accepting the draft, they become primarily liable for its payment.Transfer and Presentment WarrantiesTransfer Warranties: These warranties arise when an instrument is transferred for consideration. The transferor warrants that they have good title, the signatures are authentic, there are no material alterations, there are no known defenses, and they have no knowledge of insolvency.Presentment Warranties: These warranties arise when an instrument is presented for payment or acceptance. The presenter warrants that they have good title, there are no material alterations, and they have no knowledge that the signature of the maker/drawer is unauthorized.Disclaimers: Transfer warranties can be disclaimed by specific language on the instrument, such as "without recourse." Presentment warranties cannot be disclaimed on checks, but can be disclaimed on other instruments.Who they Protect: These warranties protect subsequent holders of the instrument by ensuring that they are receiving a valid and enforceable instrument.DischargePayment in Full: An instrument is discharged when it is paid in full by the party primarily liable.Tender of Payment: If a tender of payment is made by the party primarily liable and refused by the holder, the instrument is discharged to the extent of the tender.Cancellation: An instrument can be discharged by intentional cancellation by the holder, such as by writing "void" across its face.Reacquisition: If the instrument is reacquired by a prior party who was discharged, they are no longer liable on the instrument, and intermediate parties are also discharged.Exam PitfallsConfusion with Contract Disclaimers: Students may incorrectly apply contract disclaimer principles to negotiable instruments. It's important to remember that specific rules govern disclaimers of warranties on negotiable instruments.Failure to Recognize Discharge Events: Students may overlook certain events that can discharge an instrument, such as tender of payment or reacquisition. Understanding these events is crucial to determining liability on an instrument.Forgetting Notice Requirements: For secondary parties to be liable, they must be given proper notice of dishonor. Students often forget this requirement, assuming that secondary liability always attaches.Overlooking the Importance of Presentment: Proper presentment of the instrument is crucial for holding parties liable. Students may fail to recognize the significance of presentment and dishonor in determining liability.Misunderstanding Accommodation Parties: An accommodation party is someone who signs an instrument to provide credit for another party. Students often struggle with the liability of accommodation parties, which differs from that of other parties.Incorrectly Applying the Shelter Rule: The shelter rule allows a transferee to acquire the rights of their transferor, even if the transferor had a defective title. Students may misapply this rule, assuming that it always applies regardless of the circumstances.Confusing the Types of Liability: Students often confuse primary and secondary liability, as well as the liability of different parties on the instrument. Understanding the distinctions between these types of liability is essential.Neglecting the Role of Consideration: Consideration is a key element in the transfer of negotiable instruments. Students may overlook the importance of consideration, assuming that transfer always occurs regardless of consideration.Misinterpreting
Holder in Due Course (HDC) Doctrine: A Concise OverviewThe HDC doctrine is crucial in negotiable instruments law, facilitating the smooth transfer of commercial paper. It protects good-faith purchasers from certain defenses against the original payee. Becoming an HDC requires meeting specific criteria, and even then, some "real" defenses remain.Core Concept: Negotiable instruments are designed for easy transfer. The HDC concept encourages good-faith acceptance of these instruments by shielding holders from prior disputes. This privileged status requires meeting specific rules.HDC Requirements: To attain HDC status under the UCC:Holder Status: Lawful possession with a proper endorsement chain (if applicable).Value: Giving consideration (money, property, debt cancellation, service). Gifts don't qualify.Good Faith: Honesty and reasonable commercial standards. No willful ignorance of wrongdoing.Lack of Notice: No knowledge of claims or defenses at the time of taking.Real vs. Personal Defenses:Real Defenses: Defeat even an HDC (e.g., fraud in the factum, forgery, alteration, infancy, illegality/mental incapacity).Personal Defenses: Do not defeat an HDC (e.g., breach of contract, ordinary fraud, unconscionability, breach of warranty).Practical Implications & Exam Approach:Analyze the Defense: Is it real or personal? Real defenses defeat HDC claims."Without Notice": Suspicious circumstances (e.g., "Void if not paid…," knowledge of forgery, overdue note) can disqualify HDC status.Fraud Types: Distinguish fraud in the factum (real) from ordinary inducement (personal).Capacity: Is the illegal contract void or voidable?Exam Strategy: Determine HDC status (holder, value, good faith, no notice), classify the defense, and determine the outcome. Always mention HDC possibility, even if inapplicable.Ramifications: Payees should ensure smooth HDC transfer. Makers should warn transferees of fundamental issues, as personal defenses are lost against an HDC.Example: Abby signs a note for Bill, who endorses it to Clara. If Clara is an HDC, she can enforce it against Abby (defective product is a personal defense). However, if Abby's signature was forged (real defense), Clara cannot enforce it.

Send us a textLots of things in life are up for grabs if you'll just have the courage to ask. Jesus even encourages us to ask our Heavenly Father (Matthew 7:7-11). So why do we struggle to ask sometimes? And how do we know if we're asking according to God's will? Joël and Rick talk about this (and more). #fyp #foryou #godswill #prayer #heavenlyfather

You've saved up your downpayment and found the perfect house to buy. But have you considered closing costs?They're really the first big expense you'll have with home ownership. Which can you negotiate, and which are set in stone?The Hidden Costs of Homebuying: What You Need to Know About Closing CostsBuying a home is an exciting milestone, but amidst the thrill of owning your first house, it's easy to overlook the long list of closing costs that come with it. Many people think that because these costs are often rolled into the mortgage, they don't need to worry about them. However, understanding and negotiating these costs can save you a significant amount of money in the long run.For a typical mortgage, closing costs usually range between 3% to 6% of the mortgage amount. Let's break it down with an example. Suppose you borrow $250,000 at 6.5% interest on a 30-year loan. Your monthly payment would be around $1,580. If your closing costs are on the higher end—say $15,000—and you roll them into your mortgage, you're now borrowing $265,000 instead of $250,000. This increases your monthly payment by $95, leading to an additional cost of over $34,000 over the life of the loan.In short, closing costs matter. Being aware of them and negotiating where possible is crucial.Negotiable Closing CostsSome closing costs come with wiggle room, meaning you can negotiate them down. Here are a few:Homeowners Insurance: Your lender requires this, but you can shop around for the best rates. Don't assume the insurer suggested by your lender or agent is the best option.Origination Fee: This fee typically covers the cost of underwriting the loan and is usually about 1% of the loan amount. Always ask to have it waived or lowered; you might not succeed, but asking costs nothing.Underwriting Fee: Some lenders charge this fee in addition to or instead of the origination fee. Again, you can negotiate this.Loan Application Fee: This one-time fee for processing your loan can also be a candidate for negotiation, especially if you're already paying an origination or underwriting fee.Real Estate Commissions: Traditionally, sellers have paid the commissions for both the seller's and buyer's agents. However, recent changes in the real estate industry mean buyers may now be asked to contribute. It's another area to negotiate.Title Insurance: You'll need to buy lender's title insurance, which only protects the lender. You can shop around for better rates and suggest a different insurer to your lender. Don't forget to purchase owner's title insurance to protect your ownership.Non-Negotiable Closing CostsWhile some closing costs can be negotiated, others are fixed. These include the appraisal fee, credit check fee, government fees (such as title transfers or recording costs), and property taxes. You should be prepared to pay these costs without expecting any leeway.The Importance of Integrity in Your Mortgage CompanyWith so much money on the line, it's essential to work with a mortgage company that operates with transparency and integrity. Movement Mortgage is a Christian mortgage company founded during the 2008 housing crisis. Its mission is to help homebuyers while glorifying God by positively impacting communities within the U.S. and abroad.Movement Mortgage offers competitive rates and the opportunity to be part of a global movement of change.

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. If you were gifted $10M right now, why that very well wouldn't help you at all. Learn a fresh take on how Real Estate Pays 5 Ways at the same time. A housing market update with perennially sagging inventory supply amounts and more outlooks for stronger home price appreciation than many expected. Today, on Get Rich Education. Welcome to GRE! From Montevideo, Uruguay to Montecito, CA and across 188 nations worldwide, you're listening to one of the longest-running and most listened-to shows on real estate… the voice of real estate investing since 2014. I'm your host and my name is Keith Weinhold. How would you like it if I gave you $1M? You know what? That's not enough to make my point. Make it $10M. I adjusted for inflation - ha! How much would you like it if I gave you $10M? How would that feel? But what if it comes with this one condition. What if I told you that I'll give you the $10M, but you are not waking up tomorrow? Not waking up tomorrow? No way! Now you know that waking up tomorrow is worth more than $10M. This is how you know that your time and your life are worth infinitely more than any dollar amount. Hmmm… if your time is so valuable. Then why did you check Instagram 15 times yesterday to see who viewed your Stories? Ha! Why are you spending time with your AI girlfriend? Ha! Get Rich Education is ultimately about living a rich LIFE - whatever that means to you. And we do approach that from the financial perspective here. Money does matter… because leverage, cash flow, and inflation-profiting enable you to BUY time. We're really one of the few investing platforms… this show is one of the few places with the audacity to tell you that - sure, a little delayed gratification is good… but the risk of too much delayed gratification is DENIED gratification. Denied gratification is a terrible investing risk that most people either don't give enough weight to - or don't factor in at all. And getting a $10M windfall is not as great as it sounds either. History shows that the $25M Lottery winner quickly loses their money. Why does that happen? Because it seemed like it was effortless to get the windfall, and because they don't know how to handle an amount like that. It's really similar to a capital gains-centric investor that gets a windfall. See, cash flow investors like you & I - we can be more measured because your income stream is metered out over time. That's why you are less likely to be irrational with your gains. Now, I touched on some of those ways that you're paid in real estate investing. Real Estate Pays you 5 Ways™ simultaneously. That's a concept that I coined right here on the GRE podcast. We since went on to have it trademarked. Do you know when I first introduced that concept right here on the show - the month & year? And I've since gone on to do a lot with “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways” to help other audiences understand real estate's five distinct profit sources. Well, I had someone on Team GRE here do some digging into some of our legacy shows - our past episodes… because I wanted to know when I first said it… and it was apparently in May of 2015, so 8 years ago that I introduced it. Since then, many other thought leaders have gone on to cite the phrase. Someone other than me even wrote a book on it. And that doesn't bother me at all. I'd rather that other people and readers get good ideas. That's more important than getting the credit. Of course, c'mon, you can recite these 5 now like they're the Pledge Of Allegiance or something. This is as automatic as the Lord's Prayer is for Christians. The five are: Appreciation Cash Flow Your return on Amortization and Tax Benefits and finally Inflation-Profiting But now, let's dissect this frog here a little. Why five ways? Why not another number, like real estate pays four ways or six ways? It is five. There are no more or less. Each of the five are a distinct benefit. A common flawed case that Real Estate Pays 4 Ways is that most real estate teachers omit the Inflation-Profiting benefit on the long-term fixed interest rate debt. Any GRE devotee knows that with 5% inflation on $1M in debt, you only owe the bank $950K of inflation-adjusted debt after year one, $900K after year two, etc. (And in the meantime, the tenant pays all of your mortgage interest.) Some that make the 4 Ways case question the Tax Benefit. Could the tax benefit really be considered a profit source, or is it just a deal sweetener? It's a profit source. Outside the real estate world, to obtain a tax write-off, you must have a real expense backed up with receipts, like building a new computer equipment or buying a new farm tractor. Instead, the magic of real estate tax depreciation says that you can just write off 3.6% of the improved property value each year just for doing... nothing all year. No improvements necessary. It's a phantom write-off, yet legitimate to the IRS. Then the 1031 Exchange means you can endlessly defer all of your federal capital gains tax for your... entire life. Yes, it's one of the few places in life where procrastination actually pays. I've even heard some say that they're a fan of GRE's Real Estate Pays 5 Ways™, but they've discovered a sixth. This often involves an event that's either unlikely or falls into one of the existing 5 Ways. For example, "My appraisal value exceeded the contract price. I'm buying it for $320K, but the appraisal is $340K. I got $20K in instant equity. See, I was paid a 6th way." No. I mean, good for you, $20K of instant equity is a nice sweetener - that's a $20K credit in your net worth column that you received the moment you opened up that appraisal e-mail from your lender and saw it. Nice! But an appraised value that exceeds the purchase price is not COMMON enough to be expected… and the 5 Ways are. Also, you can make the case that "instant equity" is covered in the first way you're paid, Appreciation. The reason that we invest in real estate is because there's virtually no other vehicle in the world where you can expect to be paid five ways at the same time. That's a foundational principle - it's a core concept here at GRE. It's why we do what we do. It answers the compelling “why” for real estate better than any answer there is… …and that's why anything less than a 20 to 25% combined return when you add up all five ways is actually disappointing - and that's done with low risk - which is paradoxical almost anywhere else in the entire investing world. If you haven't yet, take my free “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways” course in order to really understand each of your five distinct profit sources, where they come from, and how that all fits together. It's at GetRichEducation.com/Course. The free “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways” short course is free at GetRichEducation.com/Course Let's talk about real estate trends. You know, real estate investing has a lot of relationships that you just wouldn't expect. Part of that is because it intersects with the economy. Economies are complex and you get these relationships that are counterintuitive. For example, in a recession, mortgage rates and all interest rates tend to fall, not rise. Another exhibit is how debt BUILDS wealth with prudent leverage. Another one that I've explained extensively here and the show and elsewhere is that higher mortgage rates correlate with higher home prices - not lower ones. That throws nearly everyone off. Some physical real estate trends have been counterintuitive. About 30 years ago in America - the 1990s - a new trend was fueled that everyone wanted to have a big kitchen. New homes were often built with a big, fancy kitchen in the center of the home. Open floor concept - no galley kitchens anymore. That began back then. And this was really the advent of - at the time - what we considered luxury amenities like granite and quartz kitchen countertops. Anymore, that's become standard. Even our build-to-rent providers at GRE Marketplace often have new granite countertops in rentals. But the paradox here is the assumption that a big emphasis on kitchens would mean that more people would start cooking at home. Oh, no. Just the opposite, in the last 30 years, despite the big kitchens, more people eat out at restaurants and fewer people eat at home. Another real estate paradox. Another counterintuition was the pandemic. Society locked down, people lost their jobs and you think that there are going to be mass foreclosures because with no job, no one can afford their mortgage payment. People thought the pandemic will cripple the housing market. Oh, it was just the opposite. That created a housing boom. Everyone wanted their space. Another paradox. Remember here on the show, shortly after Biden was elected, I told you that this administration - for better or for worse - will not let people lose their homes. Then we had high inflation on the heels of the pandemic. That was bad for consumers and good for real estate. But high inflation is supposed to mean that bitcoin and gold would surge. Well, another paradox, that brought crypto winter, and gold did nothing in high inflation, until more recently here. Rather than high delinquency rates we've got low delinquency rates. In fact, the mortgage delinquency rate has been steadily falling for almost 3 years now. That's because of strong borrowers and tough lending standards. Now, another real estate investing trend, though there's nothing paradoxical here, is mortgage rate resets. Here in the US, on 1-4 unit rental properties, you're in great shape, whether you locked in your interest rate at 3% or 7% - the thing is that you have a steady payment… and on an inflation-adjusted basis, your same monthly payment amount goes DOWN over time - it's a tailwind to your personal finances. Inflation cannot touch your steady, locked-in P & I payment. But many Canadians are up for renewal with their 5-year fixed rate, 25-year amorts. Yeah, just across the border in Canada, they don't have these 30-year fixed rate amortizing loans. Their rate resets every five years. One Canadian homeowner that I talked to, he doesn't live in that posh of a home in Ontario, it's just a little above the median housing price. His family's loan terms are about to reset on the primary residence and it's expected to increase their monthly payment by $1,280 / mo. How would you feel if that happened to you overnight? It's a nuisance at best. It might even crimp your quality of life - or worse. That can't really happen to you in the US. Having a 30-year FRM is like you having rent control as a tenant. In coastal areas, some tenants that have a rent control deal - New York, California, Oregon - they want to live in their home for decades under rent control because there's a ceiling on their rent. Move out of their unit - lose the deal and they'd have to reset somewhere else. It's the same with you as an American homeowner or REI in the 1-to-4 unit space. Your P&I price cannot rise. And, I've talked about the interest rate lock-in effect before, constraining the housing supply. Get this. Just last week, First American Title Company informed us that the average resident duration in a home hit a record high. Amongst this lower intrinsic mobility rate, interest rate lock-in effect, and other societal trends, the average resident duration in a primary home in now 10 years, 8 months. Lower mobility. Studies show that people are holding onto their cars longer than ever, and people aren't parting with their real estate either. So, then, with fewer properties coming to market, let's update the available supply of homes. This is pulling from the same set of stats that I've been citing for years, in order to be consistent. Check this out. This is the FRED Housing Inventory - the Active Listing Count of Available US homes. Remember, historically, it's 1-and-a-half to 2 million units available. In 2016 it was still 1-and-a-half million. Then in April of 2020 it dipped below 1 million and fell sharply from there - which I've famously called this era's housing crash. It was a housing SUPPLY crash - which hedges against a price crash. It fell to as low as 435,000 a year later in mid-2021. Gosh, under a half million. It's rebounded as builders know that they need to build more homes. Six months ago it got up to 750,000 available homes - which is still less than half of what America needs. And now, today, did the supply get up toward at least 1 million yet? No. It has dropped back the other way to just 563,000. This astounding dearth of housing supply - it's a condition that we could very well be in for over a decade. This scarce supply is a long-term American condition. Yes, it's good for your real estate values - both present and future. But it is a problem too. It's a contributor to homelessness! The Covid home improvement boom is officially over. So says Home Depot. They posted a revenue drop in the first quarter and warned that annual sales would decline in 2023 for the first time in 14 years. Home Depot said that shoppers are now holding off on the big-ticket purchases they made during the pandemic and are choosing to break up larger projects—like remodeling a bathroom—into smaller, bite-sized pieces. There's a fascinating new study from a bipartisan think tank shows that everyone wants to LIVE ALONE. That's what Business Insider just reported on. Now, of course, the term “everyone” is an exaggeration. But Statista and Our World In Data tells us that - get this - this is the number of SINGLE-PERSON households in the US - people living alone. Back in 1960, that figure was just a paltry 13%. By 1970, 17% of households were people were living alone. Every ten years, that percent crept up to 23, 25, then 26%. By 2010 it hit 27% and by 2022 it hit 29%. Now, you can't think that's good for society - to have all these single-person households. Almost 3 in 10 living alone. C'mon. Find a good spouse. But in any case, that's good for you as a REI, when, say, 10 people live amongst 5 homes rather than 3 homes - absorbing all that housing supply and keeping it scarce. Even if the US population stayed the same, there's more home demand - with that trend. Of course, the US population is growing, though really slowly, probably just a few tenths of 1% this year. But because of all the Millennials and the embedded “Work From Anywhere” trend, housing demand is pretty strong. The recent rental housing demand and rent boom came almost entirely due to a surge in household formation -- young adults leaving the nest and roommates decoupling to get their own space... especially in urban areas. People working from home want more space (without a roommate) AND are willing to pay more for it -- and able -- to pay more for it. So if you're bullish on work-from-home remaining the norm for at least a chunk of the population (and I am), you should be bullish on the rental demand outlook. And this has really revitalized America's SUBURBS - that's the area where you find that space. The WFH-fueled rise of the suburbs is a wake-up call to cities, where, in the case of NYC, 26 Empire State Buildings' worth of office space now sits empty. The typical office worker is spending $2,000–$4,600 less annually in city centers. Because even if they GO to the city to work, they might only do that 2 days a week now - not 5. I've got more for you straight ahead, including a new forecast on how much home prices are expected to rise this year. Again, check out my free video course if you haven't “Real Estate Pays 5 Ways”. Get it at GetRichEducation.com/Course I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to Get Rich Education. Yeah, big thanks to this week's show sponsors. I'm only bringing you those places that will bring real value to your life. Now, here at GRE, I recently read an offer that one of these major sports gambling platforms sent us. They want to advertise on the show here. Do you want to hear sports gambling ads on GRE? I've got an opinion about that, that I'll share with you shortly. Gambling is not the same as investing. If you're wondering why you're hearing more about gambling, especially sports gambling than you had just a few years ago, well… Now, just last week, it was FIVE years ago that the Supreme Court lifted a federal ban on sports gambling in the US. That spawned a multibillion-dollar industry that's transformed how Americans watch, talk about, and experience sports. Americans bet $95B on sports in legal jurisdictions with consumer protections last year. That's more money than the amount spent on ride sharing, coffee, or streaming… and you can bet that the off-the-books gambling number, if added in, would make that WAY higher. Two sports betting companies, DraftKings and FanDuel, control 71% of the US market, per gambling analytics firm Eilers & Krejcik. Gosh, that's almost a duopoly right there. But despite that, these companies have struggled to turn a profit. FanDuel recorded its first quarterly profit just last year, and DraftKings has YET to report a profitable quarter. Well, I'll just tell ya, it's one of those two big companies that inquired about advertising on GRE. Of the 50 states, the number is 33 that allow it. That's 2/3rd of the nation that has legal sports betting (Washington, DC, has it too). Another four states have legalized sports wagering, but don't have any sportsbooks operating yet. Interestingly, the three most-populous US states—California, Texas, and Florida—have not legalized sports gambling. And they account for 26% of all teams in the major North American pro leagues. The number of women joining sportsbook apps jumped 45% last year, marking the third straight year that new women users exceeded men. Hmmm. I guess that's the growth market there. My inclination to have gambling advertising and associating with these companies is NOT to do it… not to accept that advertising income. I don't see how that's serving you. This feels like a conflict in my gut and in my heart. Gambling is sort of the opposite of investing for a stable rental income stream. I mean, either way, I guess you're putting your money at stake. But that's about the closest common ground I can find. At least at this time… and probably all-time, it's a “no” for gambling content here. That's not any sort of moral judgment on the activity at all. I mean, gosh, as a teenager, I was really into sports gambling, but it was the informal kind. My friend & I each lay a $10 bill next to the TV - Phillies vs. Mets. Winner gets the $20 bucks. So, my inclination is a pretty easy “no”. Hook up with our sponsors - they support GRE. That's Ridge Lending Group, offering income property loans nationwide. JWB Real Estate Capital - if you want performing income property, JWB really has Jacksonville, FL sewn up & locked down. They do one thing and do it well. Then, Freedom Family Investments. Get started with them for real estate funds that are ultra-low hassle. Text “FAMILY” to 66866. Where will the next ten years take you & I on the show here? I would love to be along for the ride with you. I hope that you'll be here with me. Let me just take a moment to remind you that I'm grateful to have such a large, loyal audience to… well, listen to the words that I say every week. Thank you for your support. This show has almost reached the 5 million download mark. I've been shown that it's between 4.8 and 4.9 million downloads now. I'm genuinely honored and a little humbled about that even. Let's listen in to this 3+ minute CNBC clip. This is Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the NAR - the National Association of Realtors talking about the housing market just last week. Now, a little context here - historically, the NAR has tended to give these dominantly sunny side-up, glowing, everything is always good & getting better kind of remarks on the housing market. But I've been listening to the NAR's Lawrence Yun for quite a while and think he's been rather balanced. Here, he discusses how real estate sales volume is down - which has a lot to do with low supply, that mortgage rates are steady, and that prices are slowly rising in most parts of the nation. [OK, Vedran. Here's where we play the insert.] 0:09-3:42 First words to keep are: “Lawrence Yun…” Last words to keep are: “... half of the country.” https://www.cnbc.com/video/2023/05/17/home-prices-still-rising-despite-sales-dropping-says-national-association-of-realtors-yun.html Now, Lawrence Yun did go on to say that he thinks that the Fed should lower interest rates by a half point, and more. Let us know if you'd like us to invite Lawrence Yun onto the show. As always, you can leave your suggestions, questions, or any comments about the Get Rich Education podcast or any of our other platforms at our Contact center at: GetRichEducation.com/Contact When it comes to national HPA, just last week, we learned that Zillow revised its home price outlook upward. Between April 2023 and April 2024, Zillow expects home US home values to rise 4.8%. You've got more signs that more & more American markets are being considered a seller's market rather than a buyer's market, which tilts toward price appreciation, though I still think pretty moderate price appreciation this year. CNN recently published an article where they even posited the question: “Are Bidding Wars Back?” Yes, they are in a few markets. Another measure of housing supply is the MONTHS of available supply. I think you know that 6 to 7 months of inventory is considered a balanced supply & demand market. If it gets up to 10 months of supply, you tend to see little or no HPA. Well, indicative of the low housing supply, we hit a winter high of 4-and-a-half months of supply. And today, it's down to just 2.7 months per Redfin. 2.7 months. That's just another sign that demand is outpacing supply. Then, among those entry-level homes, like the NAR's Lawrence Yun eluded to, they're even harder to find… and they're the ones that make the best rentals. How hard are these to find? I mean, in some markets this can be even more rare than finding a true friend? Ha! Is it as rare as the Hope Diamond? Or perhaps a Honus Wagner baseball card? Ha! Well, the good news is that we actually have the inventory that you want at GRE Marketplace. Besides that, we actually have something that you really like and that is - mortgage rate relief to help you with your cash flow. Purchase rates have been hovering around 6 1/2% lately. That's the OO rate, so for rentals, it could be 7%+. Well, how about rolling back the hands of time? Through our great relationships here and our free investment coaching, you have access to 4.75% interest rates on investment property - and many of these are new-builds in path-of-progress Florida. Yes, our free coaching will get you the 4.75% mortgage interest rate, they'll even help write the sales contract for you if you're new to this, walk you through the property inspection, the property condition, the appraisal. Yes, a 4.75% interest rate… today, from these homebuilder buydowns. I don't know how much longer that can last. To be clear, you're not buying an income property FROM us. You're buying it with our help and our connections. It is all free to you. This is educational support for you. In fact, our coaching support like this through our sole investment coach, Naresh is becoming so popular, that I can announce that we soon plan to add a second investment coach. Yes! A new one. And interestingly, you have heard of this soon-to-be second investment coach because they've been a guest on the show here a number of times. Yeah, we'll make that introduction on a future show. You'll find THAT interesting. But, our Investment Coach, Naresh, does have some slots open to talk with you and help you out. A lot of the best deals currently with these 4.75% rates are with new-build Florida duplexes and fourplexes. You can use them for rental SFHs too. Last I checked, the deals were a little better on the duplexes and fourplexes. You probably thought that Sub-6 and sub-5 mortgage rates are about as unlikely to make a sudden comeback as AOL or Myspace, but we've got them here now. Now, that 4.75% is just one of two options that we have with some Build-To-Rent builders that are fairly motivated. So to review the first one fully… you can get a 4.75% interest rate with a 25% down payment 1 year of free property management and $1,000 off closing costs per deal That's one. Or, option 2 is: Zero down payment - yes, 100% financing 2 years free property management $1,000 off closing costs per deal Negotiable price, open to offers They are the two options. It's rarely more attractive than this. If you hear this in a few weeks, or perhaps months, I doubt that these options will be there any longer. So I'll close with something actionable that can really help you now. If you want to do it yourself, that's fine, like thousands of others have, get a selection of income property - despite this national dearth of supply at GREmarketplace.com Or, like I said, right now, it's really helpful to connect with an experienced GRE Investment Coach - it's free - our coach's name is Naresh - for those 4.75% interest rates or zero down program - whatever's best for you… you can do all that at once at GREmarketplace.com/Coach Until next week, I'm your host, Keith Weinhold.

He's also the author of the book How to Have Difficult Conversations About Race and the creator of Negotiable, an Online Community to Learn to Negotiate Anything. We often think about questions as a way to discover more — but have you also considered how your questions might influence? Kwame Christian and I discuss three key steps in order to persuade better through your intentional questions. Key Points Rapport questions help you make a connection with the other party and establish a baseline for how they communicate. A helpful place to begin on rapport is noticing something that you genuinely admire or are curious about in the other party. When gaining information, start broadly and then pull the thread when the other party leads you down a path. Beware that your role/positions can cause people to say more than they otherwise might. “What would it take?” is often a helpful way to illuminate a path forward. Even if you ultimately are more directive, laying the foundation through questions allows the other party to be heard and understand.

In this episode: balancing deprivation and happiness, making adjustments, everything is negotiable, the evolution of alignment, adjusted awareness, and intentionality in community. Five years ago, Scott and Taylor Rieckens publicly began their path to FI by creating the fantastic documentary "Playing With FIRE." The documentary depicts their life as they start out and navigate the early stages of their FI journey, which is often the period of time when we act our most frugal, cut as many expenses as possible, and in turn save as much as we possibly can! While this kind of lifestyle is a great jumping off point early in the FI journey, oftentimes people find this lifestyle to be limiting and ultimately detrimental to their own happiness. Now that Scott and Taylor are significantly further down the path compared to the last time we heard from them, we decided to have them return to the show to discuss the adjustments they have made in their lifestyle in order to live in a manner that fully aligns with their idea of a happy life! Remember, FI isn't suppose to limit your ability to be happy, rather it exists to enhance your life and help you find fulfillment as progress down the road less traveled.
