Zombie foreclosures, or abandoned homes stuck in the foreclosure process, are making a comeback in parts of the U.S., particularly across the Rust Belt and Midwest. These properties often sit vacant due to financing pitfalls, legal disputes, bad tenants, or simple neglect, dragging down surrounding home values and neighborhoods. But while they can be eyesores, they also present potential opportunities for investors willing to do the homework—tracking ownership status, navigating title searches, and preparing for extensive rehab. In this episode, we'll break down the latest data on zombie foreclosures, explain why they happen, highlight the markets seeing the biggest increases, and walk through the risks and rewards of bringing these properties back to life.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog/freelance-hourly-rate/ Quotes to ponder: “Charging hourly rates is the biggest mistake you can make as a freelancer.” “Value-based pricing is when you charge based on the value your work provides to your client, not the number of hours you work.” “When you charge based on value, you get paid more, you attract better clients, and you're no longer stuck trading hours for dollars.” Episode references: The Personal MBA: https://www.amazon.com/Personal-MBA-Master-Art-Business/dp/1591845572 Alan Weiss on Value-Based Fees: https://alanweiss.com/shop/books/value-based-fees/ The Four-Hour Workweek: https://www.amazon.com/4-Hour-Workweek-Escape-Live-Anywhere/dp/0307465357 Learn more about your ad choices.

On this midday Friday, August 29th edition of the Hot Options Report, the hosts cover a day of market sell-offs across the major indices. The VIX is up, reflecting increased volatility, with significant activity in its October 31 calls. The show breaks down the top tickers seeing explosive options action, with a notable theme being the aggressive buying of out-of-the-money calls in major tech names like TSLA and NVDA, despite the overall market downtrend. The top 10 single-name stocks are dominated by companies with recent earnings reports, including Marvell (MRVL) and Baba (BABA). The episode wraps up by noting the need for a significant market reversal in the second half of the day for many of these bullish bets to pay off.

Ben Emons, noted Fed watcher, explains the latest outlook for rate cut decisions. He discusses how the Fed's dual mandates are muddying the picture ahead of the September decision. Ben thinks the Fed wants to “get ahead of this labor issue” and could cut by 50 basis points. “You cannot control the unemployment rate,” he emphasizes, but the Fed has more control over inflation. While the market is pricing in a series of cuts, he says there's a chance it could be “one and done.” He adds that the Fed is dependent on market expectations as well as data.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Cooper Howard reacts to the latest PCE data and believe the July print gave Fed officials the "green light" to cut rates in its upcoming September meeting. He notes that there is substantial labor market data ahead for the Fed to factor in as well. Cooper discusses the dual mandate for the central bank and admits that the Fed may be paying closer attention to jobs right now over inflation. Later, Cooper discusses the intermediate bond market and municipal bonds as a potential investing tool to consider.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

This Day in Legal History: John Locke BornOn August 29, 1632, John Locke was born in Wrington, England. A foundational figure in political philosophy, Locke's ideas on government, natural rights, and property would come to shape the ideological core of liberal democracies. His “Two Treatises of Government” advanced the notion that legitimate governments are founded on the consent of the governed and exist to protect life, liberty, and property. Locke's theory of property, rooted in the idea that individuals gain ownership by mixing their labor with natural resources, would have lasting effects not only in political theory but also in legal frameworks—particularly intellectual property law.Locke argued that since individuals own their labor, they also own the results of that labor. This labor-based theory of property acquisition later served as a philosophical underpinning for intellectual property rights, especially in Anglo-American legal systems. The notion that creators have a natural right to control and benefit from their intellectual creations echoes Locke's broader views on property. His influence is visible in early American legal thought, including the U.S. Constitution's provision empowering Congress to secure authors' and inventors' exclusive rights.Locke's work also fueled the American Revolution and the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, with Thomas Jefferson borrowing heavily from Locke's formulations on natural rights. Likewise, his theories permeated the French Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Beyond constitutional law, his legacy persists in modern debates about the balance between public access and private rights in intellectual property regimes. Locke's vision of a just legal order grounded in individual rights, voluntary association, and property remains central to contemporary legal theory.A federal judge will hold a hearing on whether to temporarily block President Donald Trump from firing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, who is challenging her removal in court. Cook argues that Trump lacks legal grounds for firing her, alleging that the justification—claims of past mortgage fraud—is a pretext tied to her refusal to lower interest rates. The Federal Reserve Act permits governors to be removed only “for cause,” though that term is undefined and has never been tested in court. Cook denies the fraud allegations and says even if true, the conduct occurred before she took office and should not qualify as cause for removal.Trump's administration argues that the allegations are sufficient to justify her dismissal and may also claim that legal limits on removing Fed governors infringe on the president's executive authority. The outcome of this case could significantly impact the perceived independence of the Fed and may ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. A Biden-appointed judge, Jia Cobb, will first determine if Cook is likely to succeed on the merits and if her removal would cause irreparable harm. The decision could lead to a preliminary injunction, subject to appeal.Trump has already clashed with the Fed, particularly with Chair Jerome Powell, over interest rate policies and management decisions. Removing Cook would allow Trump to install a fourth member on the seven-seat board, potentially shifting its direction.Trump's firing of Fed Governor Cook could be blocked by US judge | ReutersThe national average score on the July 2025 Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) was the highest in over a decade, reaching 142.4—the best performance since 2013, excluding pandemic-altered years. The MBE, which accounts for half of a bar taker's score in most states, is a key component of the U.S. bar exam. The National Conference of Bar Examiners expects the slight uptick in scores to translate into modestly higher pass rates across jurisdictions.This marks the third consecutive year of improvement for July test-takers, in contrast to the February bar exam, which continues to show declining performance. February 2025 saw a record low MBE average of 130.8, partly due to California's decision to use its own bar exam for that session—a move that backfired due to widespread logistical issues. The California Supreme Court has since ordered the state to resume using the MBE starting in July.As states begin releasing July results, optimism is growing among recent law graduates. However, the disparity between February and July results highlights persistent challenges for repeat test-takers and bar exam policy shifts across jurisdictions.US national bar exam scores hit 12-year high | ReutersMajor U.S. law firms saw strong revenue and profit growth in the first half of 2025, fueled by a sharp rise in billing rates—up 9.2% on average. This surge helped offset rapidly increasing expenses, particularly those tied to attorney compensation and the adoption of artificial intelligence tools. Overhead costs excluding lawyer pay rose by 8.6%, while total expenses, including compensation, were up 9.5%. Despite heavy investment in generative AI, firms haven't realized cost savings yet, as they're still maintaining full legal staffing alongside the new technology.Top partners at elite firms, such as Milbank and Quinn Emanuel, are now charging more than $3,000 per hour, with Milbank's Neal Katyal commanding $3,250. Experts note that while AI may one day disrupt the traditional billable hour model, that shift hasn't materialized yet—echoing past predictions during earlier tech changes that never fully played out. Still, some consultants believe AI may eventually push firms toward flat-fee or project-based pricing, especially as AI becomes capable of completing tasks in minutes that previously took hours.Meanwhile, law firm expenses are also climbing due to higher real estate costs and professional liability insurance. The legal talent pipeline remains strong, with law school applicants up 18% year-over-year and recent graduates enjoying a record-high 93.4% employment rate.Law firm rates, revenues soar but costs pile up in AI era | ReutersA federal judge has dismissed University of Pennsylvania law professor Amy Wax's lawsuit claiming racial discrimination in response to university sanctions against her. Wax, who is white, alleged that UPenn treated her unfairly based on race when it suspended her for a year with half pay over a pattern of controversial public comments about minority groups. Judge Timothy Savage ruled that her claims were “implausible,” noting that she failed to show how her race influenced the disciplinary process or the charges brought against her.Wax argued the university disproportionately disciplines white faculty for speech-related conduct while overlooking similar actions by faculty of color. However, the court found her comparisons to other UPenn speakers flawed, as those individuals had not repeatedly made derogatory remarks about minorities. The ruling follows an earlier denial of Wax's request for a preliminary injunction, where the court found she hadn't proven that the suspension would cause her lasting professional harm.Wax has long been a polarizing figure at Penn Law. Her 2017 op-ed favoring Anglo-Protestant cultural norms and later remarks about Black and Asian students drew widespread criticism. In 2018, she was barred from teaching required first-year courses, and in 2022, a faculty complaint sought a major sanction after she suggested the U.S. would be better off with fewer Asian immigrants.Judge tosses law professor Amy Wax's bias lawsuit over UPenn sanctions | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a composer of some note.This week's closing theme is Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, K. 331 – I. Andante grazioso, a work that showcases the clarity, grace, and inventiveness that define Mozart's style. Composed around 1783, likely in Vienna or Salzburg, this sonata is one of Mozart's most beloved keyboard pieces, notable for its departure from traditional sonata form. Instead of the expected fast-paced opening movement, Mozart begins with a theme and variations—a gentle, lilting Andante grazioso that unfolds with elegance and wit.Each variation adds a new layer of texture and character, giving performers the opportunity to explore contrasting articulations, ornamentation, and moods. The charm of the movement lies in its simplicity and restraint, traits Mozart uses not as limitations but as a foundation for subtle playfulness and sophistication. The theme itself is dance-like, with a lightly flowing triple meter that invites the listener in rather than demanding attention.While the final movement of this sonata—the famous "Rondo alla Turca"—often steals the spotlight, the opening movement contains just as much ingenuity and expressive depth. It's a window into Mozart's ability to transform formal conventions into personal, lyrical statements. This sonata was likely intended for his students or amateur musicians, yet it retains the masterful balance of accessibility and complexity that only Mozart could achieve.As we close this week, the Andante grazioso reminds us that refinement doesn't require grandeur, and that musical beauty often lies in the quiet unfolding of a well-turned phrase.Without further ado, Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 11 in A major, K. 331 – I. Andante grazioso, enjoy! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

In this episode, we reveal the top states where residents are most likely to stay put—and why that matters for real estate investors. Based on data from the IRS and United Van Lines, states like Texas, North Carolina, Georgia, California, and Utah rank highest for resident “stickiness,” thanks to factors like job growth, community ties, and housing affordability. With tenant turnover driving up costs, these long-term renter markets could offer landlords more stability and stronger returns. We break down what makes these states appealing and offer investor insights on where to look for lasting tenant demand. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Great question. Markets don't usually wait until the Fed actually cuts rates to react — they move in advance, based on expectations.Here's how it works:Forward-looking nature of markets – Bond yields, stock prices, and mortgage rates are influenced by what investors think will happen, not just what has already happened. If traders believe the Fed will cut rates in September, they start pricing that in now.Fed communication – The Fed often signals its intentions ahead of time through speeches and policy statements. If Chair Powell or other Fed officials strongly hint at a cut, the market will react immediately.Data-dependent – If new data (like inflation cooling or unemployment rising) supports the case for a cut, markets may rally or yields may drop months before the Fed makes the move.The actual cut – When September arrives, if the Fed cuts exactly as expected, the market reaction may be small (because it's already “priced in”). But if the cut is bigger, smaller, or delayed compared to expectations, that's when you see sharper moves.

Home purchases are getting canceled at a record rate in areas of the US, according to Redfin -- Is that happening here in Utah? And what happens if it does? Russel Faucette, Owner of The Stern Team of Omada Real Estate, joins the show to discuss.

John Gafford says your experience of the housing market right now depends on whether you're buying or selling – and says after a decade, the balance is shifting. “Sellers are offering concessions at rates we haven't seen in the last ten years,” he notes, but stresses that conditions change regionally. He thinks it's a “safe” bet that interest rates will be a lot lower in 12 months, changing the system again. John gives viewers his best real estate advice.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Will a Fed rate cut really make a difference? There is a lot of noise right now about whether the Federal Reserve will cut rates by 25, 50, or even more basis points. But the real question is not just if they cut, it is why they are cutting and how markets will interpret it. In this episode, Jeannette Friedrich breaks down what a rate cut actually means, which parts of the economy it touches, and where the real impact may (or may not) show up. Key Takeaways: - What the Fed really controls: The federal funds rate affects short-term borrowing costs like credit cards, auto loans, and HELOCs, but not directly mortgages. - Why mortgage rates do not move in lockstep: Mortgages are tied to the 10-year Treasury yield and inflation expectations, not the Fed's policy rate. - Market perception matters: A proactive cut can boost confidence, while a reactive cut may signal trouble and spook markets. - Lagged effects: Any impact from rate cuts plays out over months, not days. - Winners and losers: Borrowers with variable-rate loans may benefit, while savers could see returns on CDs and money market accounts decline. - The bottom line: Rate cuts are more about signaling than substance. The key is asking why the Fed is cutting and how markets interpret the move. Are you REady2Scale Your Multifamily Investments?

In this episode of Business Builders, we're tackling one of the scariest (but most necessary) moves you'll make as a business owner: raising your prices. If you've been holding onto the same rates for too long because you're afraid of client pushback, this conversation is for you. Raising your prices isn't about being greedy—it's about protecting your business, honouring your growth, and creating space for sustainability.Key topics covered:Signs you've outgrown your current prices (hint: resentment and discounting are big red flags).Why raising your prices is a strategic business decision, not an emotional one.How to anchor into the data—profit margins, costs, and market research—so your pricing reflects real value.Three practical ways to raise your rates without losing integrity (and with a lot less fear).The emotional side of pricing shifts and why the right clients will respect and support your growth.Raising your prices isn't risky—it's a recalibration of how far you've come.ChallengePick one offer, service, or client group where your pricing needs to increase. Audit what it costs you to deliver, draft your updated rate, and either apply it to your next new client or prepare a clear notice for existing clients.Mentioned in this episode: If you are running a business in Canada and you need help with all the things accounting related, but more importantly understanding the numbers I invite you to check out https://thriveaccounting.co/Staci's Links:Instagram.
