What if the premiums you're paying your insurance company could partially come back to you? That's the premise behind captive insurance, and it's been standard practice in large multifamily for years. SFR is just now catching up.In this episode, I'm joined by Nicolas Lares, founder of Insur3Tech, a brokerage that places property managers and rental owners into captive insurance structures (essentially co-owned insurance companies where policyholders share in the underwriting profit).We discuss:(00:02:27) - Nicolas's background in insurance(00:05:18) - Building an insurance company from scratch(00:07:05) - Why carriers left despite profitability(00:13:24) - The origin story of insurance(00:20:19) - Sponsor - Enterprise Bank & Trust(00:15:55) - Are insurance companies unfair?(00:21:43) - What is a captive insurance program(00:25:31) - How captives work for property managers(00:31:34) - Identifying good operators through data(00:34:59) - Administering captive programs(00:37:45) - Sponsor - Haven AI(00:39:14) - Handling disputed claims(00:44:22) - What happens in catastrophic events(00:46:22) - Captives for scattered site managers(00:49:33) - Renters insurance captive profitability(00:53:36) - What people should be asking when shopping captives(00:58:55) - How captives get started and funded(01:02:46) - How InsurTech fits into the market(01:05:34) - ClosingFair warning: I push back on some of the framing.

Renters are facing record-low vacancy rates, while property managers are under growing pressure as workloads and expectations intensify. Against this backdrop, tenant education is emerging as a potential reset for how the industry supports long-term stability, benefiting both renters and property managers alike. In this episode of the REB Podcast, host Liam Garman speaks with Paul Tommasini, chief executive officer of inCommunity and the Tenancy Skills Institute, about how structured education pathways for tenants could deliver better outcomes across the rental ecosystem – covering budgeting, maintenance and responsibilities. The discussion explores how stable tenancies are becoming increasingly critical in a tight rental market, and how education-led programs are helping tenants build the skills needed to sustain long-term rental relationships while easing pressure on property managers. Tommasini shares how the Tenancy Skills Institute has evolved from supporting young people experiencing homelessness into a broader national initiative, with more than 27,000 participants completing its tenancy education programs. The conversation also examines how early intervention tools like PM Assist are helping property managers identify issues sooner, connect tenants with support services, and reduce the likelihood of disputes escalating to the tribunal. Finally, the discussion challenges common misconceptions around tenancy breakdowns, highlighting the complex mix of financial stress, communication issues and knowledge gaps that often sit beneath rental disputes.

In this week's Talking Life, Jessica is joined by Eddie Hooker, CEO of mydeposits, to discuss the landmark Renters' Rights Act, which banned no-fault evictions, but, one month on, new data shows widespread confusion is still leaving tenants and landlords in the dark. 

Most enterprises are renters, not owners, of their technology and AI. Raffi Krikorian, Chief Technology Officer of Mozilla, explains why dependence on a handful of closed model providers means losing control over model behavior, pricing, and your own data.In CXOTalk episode 920, Krikorian lays out where open-source AI actually wins in the enterprise, how lock-in happens quietly, and what CIOs and CTOs should do about it now.

Send us Fan MailFive things worth knowing this week.1. Prices dip, transactions drop.Halifax confirmed a 0.1% fall in UK house prices in May. London and the South East led the decline. Residential transactions fell 3% in April to just over 101,000. Higher inflation expectations are keeping borrowing costs elevated despite recent cuts. For prime London owners, the headline number is less important than the direction — when transactions fall, liquidity tightens, and liquidity is what protects value when you need to move.2. Legal complexity at the top end is accelerating.Compliance demands, AML requirements, and due diligence obligations are adding time, cost, and friction to high-value completions. This is not new — but it is getting faster. Assembling the right legal team before you need it is now part of the transaction itself.3. The Remediation Bill — another layer.Coming on top of leasehold reform, the Renters' Rights Act, and successive tax changes, the Remediation Bill adds to a regulatory stack that is now material in its cumulative weight. If you have multiple properties or development interests, map your exposure now.4. Planning reform: fewer decisions to committee.The government's National Scheme of Delegation will mean more decisions delegated to officers, fewer going to committee. Faster in theory — but less opportunity to challenge through the political process. The officer relationship matters more than it used to.5. India's UHNWI population up 27% by 2031.India's ultra-high-net-worth cohort is projected to cross 25,000 individuals by 2031. Mayfair, Knightsbridge, and Marylebone have all seen sustained Indian UHNWI interest over the past decade. As that population grows, so does the pool of prospective prime London buyers.

A new report has found New Zealand renters are better off than a year ago. The Regional Rental Affordability Index found affordability improved in most of the country over the past 12 months, as rents ease and incomes rise. Property Investors Federation Advocacy Manager Matt Ball says it's not the same story in every region, but renting is definitely more affordable. "If you look at Auckland - rents have been flat in Auckland for a number of years now, so renters are in a much better position now than they have been in previous years."

Inspired in part by Mayor Mamdani's Rental Ripoff Hearings, tenants are fed up by broken elevators, heat outages, and flooding in "luxury" buildings charging $4,000 to $6,000 a month.

In today's episode of Trending Middle East, Iran launches missile and drone attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait and civilian shipping in the Gulf, while US forces intercept projectiles and carry out strikes on an Iranian military site on Qeshm Island. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says any peace agreement will require Iran to accept long-term limits on its nuclear programme, with further negotiations expected after the Strait of Hormuz reopens. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency describes last month's drone strike on the UAE's Barakah Nuclear Power Plant as “simply unacceptable” and warns of the risks of targeting civilian nuclear infrastructure. In Lebanon, Israeli strikes kill at least a dozen people, despite efforts to halt the fighting, with violence continuing to complicate wider US-Iran negotiations. And Abu Dhabi announces a temporary freeze on rent increases for residential, commercial and industrial properties, offering relief to tenants facing rising living costs. Trending Middle East is AI-assisted, using original reporting published in The National and curated and edited by humans.

We take a look at what the rental market is like in Greater Cincinnati and compared to other cities.

Simon breaks down the controversial topic of rent controls and explains why enforcing rent caps ultimately backfires on the private rental sector, drawing from real-world examples in Scotland and analysing the upcoming impacts of the Renters' Rights Act 2025 KEY TAKEAWAYS When Scotland implemented a rent cap to protect existing tenants, landlords responded by aggressively hiking initial rents on empty properties and selling off stock, which ultimately constricted supply and drove average rents up. Anti-profit mindsets fail to recognise that property investments carry high financial risk, and the taxes generated from these profits are what directly fund public systems like the NHS and social housing. Historically, landlords avoided annual rent increases to retain good tenants, but strict caps linked to inflation or market rates will likely incentivise them to maximise rent hikes every single year. Artificially lowering rental prices reduces available housing and shifts the financial burden onto local councils for expensive emergency housing, ultimately leaving tenants with fewer places to live. BEST MOMENTS "Rent caps don't work. It would be a crazy policy for any government to introduce." "The vast majority of landlords don't raise their rents on an annual basis... because if you have a good tenant in the property, you want to keep them there." "Why would anyone do a business, take on the risk of having a business, if they can't make a profit?" "The problem where any government tries to intervene in a free market and try and control it too much, is it puts everything out of skew."

The Government reiterated its commitment to leasehold reform in last month's King's Speech, with pledges to cap ground rents and abolish new leasehold flats – but how will this work in practice? This month's podcast looks at what the Government is proposing – and potential sticking points with plans as they stand. With the first phase of the Renters' Rights Act coming into force last month, we also take a look at the new section 8 grounds landlords will need to use to take possession of their properties.

We also hear more about the calls coming in to the NRLA landlord support team over the last month.

In this episode, Bethany sits down with culture expert Greg Hawks to unpack what it really takes to build an ownership culture that fuels engagement, accountability, and results. Greg breaks down why most workplace cultures drift into dysfunction (hint: it's not intentional) and how leaders can shift from overwhelmed managers to culture shapers. From the three workplace mindsets—owners, renters, and vandals—to the power of accountability and trust, this conversation is packed with practical leadership insight. You'll also hear why AI can't fix broken leadership—and what actually will.

The Renter's Rights Act came into force at the start of May, and it marked the biggest change to how private rentals work in England in a generation. There are a host of new protections and legal entitlements for renters, and many potential pitfalls for landlords to consider. Assured shorthold tenancies have been abolished, and have automatically been converted into rolling tenancies - sometimes known as ‘assured periodic tenancies'. It means that the tenancy has no automatic end date. Section 21 notices - also known as "no fault" evictions have been abolished, and Landlords are not allowed to ask for more than 1 months' rent as a deposit. Bidding wars for rental properties are now forbidden, and there are measures to limit rent increases. But it doesn't apply to all renters in all properties.What about students? They all rent, but only some students are covered by the Act. And if landlords don't follow the new laws carefully, they could face fines of thousands of pounds. So what are the details that property owners and their tenants need to know?Presenter: Dr Joelle Grogan Producer: Ravi Naik Editor: Damon Rose Contributors: Siobhan Taylor-Ward, a Housing Solicitor at Lawstop on the Wirral Nermin Suleman, an associate solicitor at Prosperity Law in Manchester Tim Wrigley a partner at Wrigley's Solicitors in Leeds

A huge amount is about to change for anyone who rents their home or who owns a rental property in England. The Renters' Rights Act comes into force on May 1 and there's a lot in it, from ending so-called 'no fault' evictions to limits on rent increases. It will make a big difference to 11 million private renters and their 2.3 million landlords. After all, for tenants it involves their homes while for landlords it concerns their financial security.Felicity Hannah is joined by Rachael Williamson, director of policy at the Chartered Institute of Housing; Ben Beadle, chief executive of the National Residential Landlords Association; and Tarun Bhakta, policy manager at the housing charity Shelter.Together they address listeners' questions on how the new law will affect different aspects of the rental market, including tenancies, evictions and how anti-discrimination measures will work.Presenter: Felicity Hannah Producer: James Graham Editor: Jess Quayle Senior News Editor: Sarah Wadeson(First broadcast 3pm Wednesday 29nd April 2026)

He previously served as CEO of LogicGate and CFO at Kapow. At Foxen, Kevin leads a platform that has served approximately 3 million residential units across the country, offering renters insurance compliance, resident rent reporting, and pet compliance solutions to multifamily owners and operators.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Around 40% of residents required to carry renters insurance don't have active coverage, creating real exposure for operators Without resident coverage, a claim defaults to the property policy, which can carry a $50,000 to $100,000+ deductible Renters pay 25 to 35% of after-tax income on rent but receive no credit benefit from on-time payments 85% of renters say they want rent reporting; only about 10% currently have access to it Proptech companies thrive by staying specialized rather than spreading thin across too many solutions When evaluating a deal or operator, trust is the primary filter: if something feels too good to be true, dig harder     Topics From Investment Banking to Multifamily Proptech Kevin started in investment banking after college, working on technology M&A, IPOs, and capital allocation He moved into private equity before finding his footing as an operator of high-growth technology companies He joined Foxen as CEO four years ago and has been focused on building the company's presence across the multifamily industry The Three Core Solutions Foxen Offers Renters insurance compliance ensures all residents maintain active coverage as required by their lease Rent reporting (branded as Rent Street) reports on-time rent payments to credit agencies so residents can build a credit profile Pet compliance manages documentation collection, emotional support animal verification, and HUD-related regulatory requirements The Renters Insurance Compliance Problem Roughly 40% of residents who are required to carry coverage do not have an active policy, either due to lapsed payments or intentional cancellation Property management teams have historically had no scalable way to track and enforce this in real time Foxen tracks compliance and gives residents a choice: maintain their own policy or enroll in a waiver program with no deductible exposure The Financial Wellness Gap in Rental Housing Mortgage payments are automatically reported to credit agencies; rent payments are not, leaving a major gap in the financial reporting ecosystem Renters pay a significant share of their income on rent and build no credit history from it California recently passed a law requiring property management companies to offer rent reporting; other states are evaluating similar legislation How Foxen Thinks About Product Growth There are approximately 50 million rental units in the US; Foxen has served roughly 3 million, signaling significant runway The company focuses on specialized, complex functions that property managers do not want to own in-house Clients increasingly want fewer vendors, not more, which creates a clear opportunity for companies that can deliver multiple services reliably through a single integration    

Chair: Akanksha Soni, news editor Speaker: Emmanuel Day, senior director new business - Living sector, RentGuarantor As the UK rental landscape undergoes its most significant transformation in a generation, the shift toward a professionalised "living sector" is creating a unique crossroads for landlords and investors. This episode, recorded at UKREiiF, will explore how the pressures of new legislation like the Renters' Rights Act are opening doors for more resilient, de-risked assets.

In just a few days time the biggest shake up to renters rights in a generation will come into force in England. It will mean no more than one rent increase a year, an end to bidding wars an end to no fault evictions. The Renters' Rights Act will significantly change the current system not just for 11 million private renters in England but also their 2.3 million landlords. How will it work in practice?There's a call for urgent reform of recently introduced fraud regulations to better protect victims of push payment scams - when people are tricked, groomed or manipulated into transferring money to criminals. National Trading Standards says a 13 month time limit on how long people have to tell their banks they've been scammed means some victims aren't being refunded because it often takes much longer than that before they even realise their money's been stolen. The Payment Systems Regulator, which introduced the rules, says they provide a minimum standard for banks to meet. UK Finance says only a small number of cases ever fall outside the 13 month deadline and victims can always complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service.We'll ask if you should fix your energy bill now.And, how a disabled man lost £5,000 he'd raised for a new wheelchair after paying it into the wrong bank account.Presenter: Felicity Hannah Reporters: Dan Whitworth and Niamh McDermott Researcher: Jo Krasner Editor: Jess Quayle Senior News Editor: Sara Wadeson(First broadcast 12pm on Saturday 25th April 2026)

What if creating a culture of ownership had nothing to do with your organisation and everything to do with you? In this episode of Sticky From The Inside, Andy Goram is joined by Greg Hawks to challenge one of the biggest assumptions in workplace culture today, that ownership is something leaders create and employees receive. Greg flips that thinking on its head. This conversation explores why ownership isn't a corporate initiative, a leadership tactic, or something written into a job description. It's a personal choice. One that shapes how we respond to challenges, how we engage with others, and ultimately, how fulfilling our work feels. Together, Andy and Greg unpack: Why disengagement often comes from a “done to me” mindset The difference between owners, renters, and vandals in organisations Why most companies are trying to fix the wrong problem How language, trust, and mindset shape our daily experience at work What it really takes to create a culture where people care, contribute, and step up If you've ever felt frustrated, disengaged, or like work is something that happens to you, this episode offers a powerful reframe. Because creating a culture of ownership doesn't start with leadership. It starts with a choice. ----more---- Key Takeaways Ownership starts with personal choice. Ownership is not given by organisations, it's a decision individuals make to regain control, perspective and fulfilment. Culture is shaped by everyday behaviour. A culture of ownership emerges from consistent individual choices to care, contribute and take responsibility. Not all disengagement is equal. Owners, renters and vandals influence culture differently, and unchecked vandals can actively undermine engagement. Leaders create the conditions for ownership. Ownership grows when people experience meaningful return, hear specific recognition, and see clear behavioural standards upheld. ----more---- Key Moments The key moments in this episode are: 00:01:11 – Should Employees Really Care Like Owners? 00:02:56 – Setting the Stage: What Drives Ownership at Work? 00:06:05 – Ownership Isn't for the Company—It's for You 00:08:04 – Breaking Free from the “Done To Me” Mindset 00:12:22 – What a True Culture of Ownership Actually Feels Like 00:14:49 – Unlock #1: Why Risking Bold Commitments Changes Everything 00:17:16 – Owners, Renters and Vandals: The Mindsets That Shape Culture 00:20:16 – Why Most Organisations Are Fixing the Wrong Problem 00:22:30 – Unlock #2: Activating Lasting Value Through Words 00:27:30 – From Mindset to Behaviour: Ownership, Trust and Personal Return 00:39:30 – Designing the Conditions for a Culture of Ownership 00:44:35 – Sticky Notes: Three Truths About Ownership and Fulfilment ----more---- Join The Conversation Find Andy Goram on LinkedIn here Listen to the Podcast on YouTube here Follow the Podcast on Instagram here Follow the Podcast on Twitter here Follow the Podcast on Facebook here Check out the Bizjuicer website here Get a free consultation with Andy here Check out the Bizjuicer blog here Download the podcast here ----more---- Useful Links Follow Greg Hawks on LinkedIn here Find Greg's website here Find the book Act Like An Owner here ----more---- Full Episode Transcript Get the full transcript of the episode here

Social housing and support services are concerned about changes they say will make life worse for thousands of the country's poorest tenants. Political reporter Lauren Crimp reports

The cost of renting in County Clare continues to climb sharply, with the latest figures showing new tenants now paying almost €600 a month for a single room in a house.  According to the latest Daft.ie rental report, market rents rose by 4.4% nationally in the first quarter of 2026 — the biggest quarterly increase recorded since the series began in 2002.   In Clare, the cost of a three-bed home has risen by 8.3%, while four-bed properties are now over 20% more expensive than this time last year.  To discuss this further, Daragh Dolan was joined by Homeless support worker and Shannon Sinn Féin representative, Shane Doody and Clare SVP President, Gerardine Power. by Kanjana Jorruang from Getty Images via Canva

Key Topics Covered: 1. Helping Renters Become Homeowners Creating structured pathways from renting to ownership. Allowing tenants to move into properties while preparing financially for a mortgage. 2. The Challenges Facing First-Time Buyers Mortgage approval criteria often prevent capable renters from buying. Many renters already pay amounts comparable to mortgage repayments. 3. A Roadmap to Mortgage Readiness Building a step-by-step plan to improve financial positioning over time. Helping buyers understand deposits, affordability, and lender requirements. 4. Landlords Exiting the Market Increasing regulation, taxation, and compliance pressures are driving many landlords to sell. The changing environment has reduced profitability and increased risk. 5. Impact of Renters' Rights Legislation New rules are reshaping the landlord and rental landscape. Landlords are becoming more cautious about remaining in the sector. 6. Creative Property Solutions Exploring alternatives beyond the traditional buy-to-let and purchase models. Creating win-win opportunities for both tenants and landlords. 7. Long-Term Financial Planning Using property as part of a wider strategy for financial security and stability. Focusing on gradual progress rather than immediate results. 8. Making Homeownership More Accessible Providing education and support to help more people navigate the property market. Breaking down barriers that stop renters from progressing financially. Actionable Takeaways Consider mentoring or sharing your knowledge to help others start their own wealth-building journey while reinforcing your learning. Create a clear financial roadmap if you plan to buy a property in the future, focusing on affordability, deposits, and mortgage readiness. Review your spending and savings habits to improve your long-term mortgage position. Explore alternative pathways to homeownership rather than relying solely on traditional purchasing methods. If you are a landlord, assess how changing regulations and market conditions affect your long-term strategy. Consider flexible exit strategies that can benefit both landlords and future homeowners. Focus on steady financial progress instead of waiting until everything feels perfect before taking action. Build your financial knowledge around mortgages, lending criteria, and property ownership to make more informed decisions. Think long term when approaching property, using it as part of a wider plan for stability and wealth building.

Rewiring Australia CEO Francis Vierboom on what governments can do to help renters cut their energy bills, like giving them access to portable solar and battery options. Plus news of the week.

Market rent rose by 4.4 per cent between December and March, the largest quarterly increase in rents extending back to 2002. That's according to the newest Daft report, which is the first since new legislation on rent came into effect. To discuss the findings further was Ronan Lyons, Professor in Economics at Trinity College Dublin and author of the report.

Simon addresses a critical and timely concern for property investors and homeowners alike: the high likelihood of rising interest rates in the UK.  Driven by the geopolitical conflict in Iran and its looming, inflationary impact on oil prices, energy costs, and the global supply chain, he explains why the Bank of England will likely be forced to raise base rates to cool down the economy.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Geopolitical tensions are expected to drive up oil and energy costs, triggering widespread inflation across the UK supply chain and forcing the Bank of England to raise interest rates. Investors and homeowners should immediately review their mortgage portfolios—especially those on variable rates or with promotional deals expiring in 2026—to secure fixed rates before borrowing costs increase. It may be financially smarter to pay an early redemption penalty now to lock in a lower fixed rate, rather than waiting for the penalty period to end and facing significantly higher interest charges later. While borrowing costs are rising, property investors can expect rental income to increase over the next five years due to inflation and the legislative impacts of the Renters' Rights Act. BEST MOMENTS "When inflation goes up, generally they put interest rates up to cool down the economy." "Maybe it's worth paying it off sooner than you would normally and paying the penalty, because that might be less than you might pay in increased charges if you wait to fix your mortgage." "Although your interest rates are the same, the rent you're going to receive is going to go up over time, obviously subject to affordability." "As ever, I encourage you to invest with knowledge, invest with skill."

Economic HeadlinesA temporary U.S.-China trade truce announced this week sent markets sharply higher, offering the first sustained relief investors have seen in months. The good news stopped there for most consumers, though, as the broader economic picture remains one of elevated costs and cautious hiring.Energy and Inflation: Brent crude has pulled back modestly from recent highs on ceasefire optimism, and the national gas average sits near $3.85/gal according to AAA, roughly flat from last week but still well above year-ago levels. The Fed's preferred inflation gauge remains above target, and while the trade pause reduces near-term tariff pressure, the pass-through of earlier cost increases into consumer goods is still working its way through household budgets.Capital Markets: The S&P 500 surged on trade deal news, recovering a meaningful portion of its year-to-date losses. The Dow followed suit. Whether the rally holds depends largely on whether the 90-day truce translates into a durable agreement, and most economists are not counting on it.Mortgage Rates: The 30-year fixed rate remains elevated near 6.8% according to Bankrate, keeping the for-sale market effectively frozen for millions of would-be buyers. That lock-in effect continues to support renter retention, though it does little to help operators push rents in markets where household income growth has stalled.The market rally is welcome, but it does not immediately change the math for renters or operators. Tariff uncertainty, sticky inflation, and a job market that is adding positions unevenly mean demand-side pressure on multifamily remains measured heading into the peak leasing season.Explore our webpage for more insights and resources:https://bit.ly/Radix_Website

Speculation was rife in the lead up to this year's budget about what it would contain for housing investors.

Renters advocates are calling for better protections to stop students and vulnerable people falling prey to what they term 'slumlords.' Three flat mates are taking their previous landlord to the Tenancy Tribunal after their flat constantly flooded and was riddled with mould.It's added to growing calls for greater accountability and stronger enforcement of the Residential Tenancies Act and Healthy Homes Standards. Bella Craig reports.

Many multifamily markets have been struggling, but not all. New Hampshire, for example, has been doing extremely well for a number of years, and continues to outperform many markets. This is because New Hampshire continues to experience employment and population growth, and there's been almost no new supply for decades. Renters have left Boston and migrated north to New Hampshire for lower rents, no sales tax, and no income tax. Axel Ragnarsson, founder of Aligned Real Estate Partners, buys 10–50-unit value-add apartment buildings in Southern New Hampshire directly from sellers, and has achieved a stellar track record with buying at a discount and vertical integration.

The Trump administration announced a big change in how people's credit is assessed when applying for mortgages.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Cheryl Taylor Anderson. Podcast: Money Making Conversations MasterclassHost: Rushion McDonaldGuest: Cheryl Taylor Anderson, Real Estate Broker (Metro Atlanta) 1. Purpose of the Interview The core purpose of this interview is to educate, empower, and motivate listeners—particularly first‑time homebuyers, renters, veterans, and people of color—to pursue homeownership as a wealth‑building strategy. Specifically, the conversation aims to: Demystify the homebuying process Combat fear and misinformation around mortgages Highlight low‑ and zero‑down payment opportunities Explain how homeowners can build equity faster Emphasize real estate as a key tool for generational wealth Encourage disciplined financial decisions rooted in ownership rather than renting Rushion positions the discussion as a knowledge‑sharing opportunity to help listeners move from renting to owning, especially in communities historically excluded from homeownership. 2. Interview Overview Cheryl Taylor Anderson brings more than 20 years of real estate experience and over $400 million in sales in Metro Atlanta. She works with: First‑time homebuyers VA and military families Move‑up buyers Luxury clients and institutional sellers Throughout the interview, Cheryl provides practical, real‑world examples—including her own story as a former single mother and homeowner—to ease fear, explain financing, and correct misconceptions about buying a home. 3. Key Takeaways A. Many Renters Can Already Afford to Own One of the central points is that many renters are paying as much—or more—than mortgage payments without building equity. Rent payments offer no tax benefits Mortgage payments build ownership and wealth Homeowners can deduct mortgage interest (unlike rent) Key idea: Many people qualify for ownership but are held back by misinformation and fear. B. First‑Time Homebuyers Have More Options Than They Realize Cheryl explains that many buyers are unaware of: Zero‑down payment programs Builder incentives covering closing costs Opportunities to move into homes with minimal out‑of‑pocket costs In some cases, buyers are only required to bring earnest money, making homeownership far more accessible than expected. C. VA and Veteran Benefits Are Underused Cheryl strongly emphasizes VA loans as one of the most powerful tools for homeownership: 100% financing (zero down payment) Ability to ask sellers for up to 6% in closing cost contributions Certain veterans may be exempt from property taxes Lower monthly payments overall Veterans are encouraged to use their benefits, even years after leaving military service. D. A 30‑Year Mortgage Does Not Mean 30 Years of Debt Cheryl reframes mortgage timelines by teaching strategic repayment: Paying bi‑weekly instead of monthly Adding small extra payments ($50–$100/month) Reducing both interest and principal faster She uses her personal example of being close to paying off her home early despite starting with a traditional 30‑year loan. E. Homeownership Builds Stability and Community The interview contrasts renting versus owning: Ownership benefits include: Equity growth Customization and upgrades Neighborhood relationships Security and long‑term stability A tangible asset to pass to children Even HOA‑managed communities—while sometimes frustrating—protect property values and neighborhood standards. F. Home Warranties Reduce Fear of Maintenance To address anxiety about repairs, Cheryl recommends home warranties: Cover major systems (HVAC, water heaters, appliances) Low service fees when repairs are needed Can be negotiated into purchase contracts Provide peace of mind similar to apartment maintenance This is especially helpful for first‑time buyers. G. Social Media Builds Trust and Visibility Cheryl explains how social media strengthens her business: Buyers see real closings, celebrations, and testimonials Creates emotional connection and trust Inspires others to picture themselves as homeowners Visibility drives confidence and referrals. H. Education and Adaptability Drive Longevity Cheryl credits her success through: The 2008 housing crisis COVID‑19 Market shifts to constant learning, flexibility, and strategy pivots (e.g., foreclosures, BPOs, builder incentives). 4. Notable Quotes On Renting vs. Owning “Never be willing to pay somebody more than you’re willing to pay yourself.” On First‑Time Buyer Fear “Don’t let the longevity scare you. In an apartment, you’re building nothing.” On VA Benefits “Veterans can come to the table with zero down—and sometimes no property taxes.” On Mortgage Strategy “Pay every two weeks and it knocks down your interest and principal faster.” On Equity “Rent doesn’t give you anything to leave your children. Homeownership does.” On Homeownership Mindset “People are willing to pay their landlord more than they’ll pay themselves.” 5. Overall Takeaway This interview reinforces homeownership as one of the most powerful, attainable tools for building long‑term wealth—when buyers are properly educated, supported, and encouraged to move past fear and misinformation. Cheryl Taylor Anderson demonstrates that: Buying a home is often more accessible than people believe Strategic mortgage management can drastically shorten debt timelines Ownership builds equity, stability, and generational opportunity #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First‑Time Homebuyers Have More Options Than They Realize Cheryl explains that many buyers are unaware of: Zero‑down payment programs Builder incentives covering closing costs Opportunities to move into homes with minimal out‑of‑pocket costs In some cases, buyers are only required to bring earnest money, making homeownership far more accessible than expected. C. VA and Veteran Benefits Are Underused Cheryl strongly emphasizes VA loans as one of the most powerful tools for homeownership: 100% financing (zero down payment) Ability to ask sellers for up to 6% in closing cost contributions Certain veterans may be exempt from property taxes Lower monthly payments overall Veterans are encouraged to use their benefits, even years after leaving military service. D. A 30‑Year Mortgage Does Not Mean 30 Years of Debt Cheryl reframes mortgage timelines by teaching strategic repayment: Paying bi‑weekly instead of monthly Adding small extra payments ($50–$100/month) Reducing both interest and principal faster She uses her personal example of being close to paying off her home early despite starting with a traditional 30‑year loan. E. Homeownership Builds Stability and Community The interview contrasts renting versus owning: Ownership benefits include: Equity growth Customization and upgrades Neighborhood relationships Security and long‑term stability A tangible asset to pass to children Even HOA‑managed communities—while sometimes frustrating—protect property values and neighborhood standards. F. Home Warranties Reduce Fear of Maintenance To address anxiety about repairs, Cheryl recommends home warranties: Cover major systems (HVAC, water heaters, appliances) Low service fees when repairs are needed Can be negotiated into purchase contracts Provide peace of mind similar to apartment maintenance This is especially helpful for first‑time buyers. G. Social Media Builds Trust and Visibility Cheryl explains how social media strengthens her business: Buyers see real closings, celebrations, and testimonials Creates emotional connection and trust Inspires others to picture themselves as homeowners Visibility drives confidence and referrals. H. Education and Adaptability Drive Longevity Cheryl credits her success through: The 2008 housing crisis COVID‑19 Market shifts to constant learning, flexibility, and strategy pivots (e.g., foreclosures, BPOs, builder incentives). 4. Notable Quotes On Renting vs. Owning “Never be willing to pay somebody more than you’re willing to pay yourself.” On First‑Time Buyer Fear “Don’t let the longevity scare you. In an apartment, you’re building nothing.” On VA Benefits “Veterans can come to the table with zero down—and sometimes no property taxes.” On Mortgage Strategy “Pay every two weeks and it knocks down your interest and principal faster.” On Equity “Rent doesn’t give you anything to leave your children. Homeownership does.” On Homeownership Mindset “People are willing to pay their landlord more than they’ll pay themselves.” 5. Overall Takeaway This interview reinforces homeownership as one of the most powerful, attainable tools for building long‑term wealth—when buyers are properly educated, supported, and encouraged to move past fear and misinformation. Cheryl Taylor Anderson demonstrates that: Buying a home is often more accessible than people believe Strategic mortgage management can drastically shorten debt timelines Ownership builds equity, stability, and generational opportunity #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
