Podcasts about Renting

CEO Glow Show Hosted by Sheila Bella, Founder of Pretty Rich Bosses What would happen if you put your beauty business in the hot seat… and had it audited live? In this episode of the CEO Glow Show, Sheila Bella breaks down a lash artist's business in real time and shows exactly how to go from "kind of booked" to fully booked — and eventually building a team. In under 20 minutes, Sheila identifies the real bottleneck holding this business back and explains the three marketing machines every beauty entrepreneur needs: ✔ Visibility ✔ Booking ✔ Service Delivery If you're relying mostly on word-of-mouth… If you're 60–70% booked but not consistently full… If you want to double your income but don't know where to start… This episode is your blueprint. Sheila covers Instagram SEO updates, organic vs. paid reach, email marketing strategy, branding, Google visibility, and why most beauty pros choose renting over building simply because they don't know how to create an automated marketing machine. This is tactical. Strategic. And immediately actionable.

Something shifted in January — and this January 2026 Denver real estate market update breaks down exactly what’s happening. Rents are resetting to 2018 levels. A third of all available apartments were built in the last decade. Colorado now ranks 5th nationally for outbound moves. 55% are leaving the state — the highest since 1990. Landlords across the Front Range are holding rents flat or cutting them just to keep units filled. But here’s what most people are missing — this same pressure is creating buying opportunities that haven’t existed in over a decade. Chris Lopez sits down with his monthly market panel. Troy Howell with Nova Home Loans, Jeff White with Envision Advisors, Jenny Bayless covering Colorado Springs, and Shawn Riley from KeyRenter Denver all join the conversation. The group digs into the numbers. They share what they’re seeing firsthand from their own portfolios, clients, and deal flow. Things get real when Chris reveals a fourplex across the street from his own just sold at his 2018 purchase price. That confirms what the data has been showing about multifamily. Then the panel unpacks a $30 million foreclosure on four central Denver apartment buildings. Zero bidders showed up at auction. Colorado residential land now averages $942,200 per acre — up 174% in a decade. That’s why starter homes have disappeared entirely. And Shawn Riley shares that rents on condos and townhomes are down 7-10%. Apartments are offering up to three months free rent, making it brutal for older inventory to compete. In This Episode We Cover: Colorado Springs hits 4.5 months supply — officially tipping into a buyer’s market while prices hold mostly steady Why Denver inventory is building 7-8% year over year and new construction spec homes still aren’t moving even with builder-subsidized 4% rates The rental market resetting to 2018 levels and why landlords are holding rents flat to avoid costly turnover Section 8 developments including Denver paying 120% of fair market rents but freezing new voucher issuance and rent increases Room by room rental demand softening — what co-living operators need to know heading into spring Why the panel says this is Colorado’s first real buyer’s market in a decade and the 1031 exchange strategy to capitalize on it The new Fed chair nomination and what rate improvements of 0.50-0.75% from last year mean for refinance opportunities If you’ve been waiting for a 2026 Denver real estate market update that actually tells you where the deals are, this is it. Whether you’re sitting on single family properties eyeing a move into multifamily, a landlord figuring out the right rent price, or an investor ready to pick up distressed deals at steep discounts, the panel breaks down exactly where things stand right now.

The UK's private rental market has grown dramatically over recent decades, creating what often feels like a tale of two nations: ‘Generation Rent' who are priced out of home ownership and unable to access social housing; and buy-to-let investors who view property as a reliable income stream or pension plan.Rising rents, poor conditions and fierce competition for homes have fuelled frustration with landlords, prompting political efforts to strengthen protections for tenants and increase tax pressure on property owners.Now the sector is facing a turning point – with large institutional investors, backed by pension funds, for example, playing an increasing role. Evan Davis and guests discuss the state of the UK rental market and where it might be heading.

Scripture reminds us that wisdom often begins with counting the cost. As the average age of a first-time homebuyer approaches 40, many people are asking an important and sincere question: Is now the right time to buy a home—or should we continue renting?That question usually reflects a desire to make a wise, lasting decision—one that supports long-term stability rather than undermining it. Before comparing monthly payments or imagining life in a new space, it's worth taking a clear-eyed look at what it truly costs to move from renting into homeownership.The Upfront Costs Many First-Time Buyers MissOne of the biggest surprises for first-time buyers is the sheer cost of getting into a home. The pre-approval and closing process involves numerous expenses, including appraisals, inspections, credit reports, earnest money, title searches, loan origination fees, and closing costs. Taken together, these can add up to thousands of dollars before move-in day ever arrives.For renters transitioning to homeownership, these costs are typically paid out of pocket. That's one reason many advisors encourage having close to 20% of the purchase price available—not only for a down payment, but to create margin for the entire process. This isn't about delaying dreams unnecessarily; it's about ensuring homeownership doesn't begin with financial strain.Many renters feel a growing weariness with paying rent month after month, especially compared with building equity. That desire for something tangible and lasting is understandable—but it's important to remember that rent is not wasted money.Rent pays for shelter, safety, maintenance, and predictability. It meets a real and ongoing need and, in that sense, pays for a valuable service. During certain seasons of life, that flexibility and stability can be a wise and intentional choice.Understanding What a Mortgage Really IncludesIt's also helpful to understand how a mortgage payment actually works. A typical payment includes principal, interest, property taxes, homeowner's insurance, and often private mortgage insurance if you own less than 20% of the home's value. In some cases, HOA fees are also added.In the early years of a traditional 30-year mortgage, a significant portion of each payment goes toward interest rather than reducing the loan balance. Thirty-year mortgages can still be wise—they keep payments manageable and allow flexibility if you want to make extra principal payments—but they are designed to be long-term loans. Early equity growth often comes more from market appreciation than from paying down the balance.Rising home prices can create fear about waiting too long, pushing buyers to act before they're ready. While market trends are worth paying attention to, they shouldn't be the deciding factor. A home should fit your current season of life and support your responsibilities and priorities—not stretch your finances or limit your ability to live and give faithfully.It also helps to release the pressure of finding a “forever home.” On average, first-time buyers stay in their homes seven to ten years. Career changes, growing families, and life transitions often make moving a natural part of the journey. The first home simply needs to perform well in the current season.Rising Costs Don't Disappear with OwnershipRising rents are another common frustration, especially when lease renewals result in higher monthly costs. But owning a home doesn't eliminate rising expenses. While a fixed-rate mortgage keeps principal and interest steady, property taxes and homeowner's insurance typically increase over time. Even after a mortgage is paid off, those costs remain.Maintenance is another reality worth considering. Once you own a home, repairs are your responsibility—roofs, plumbing, electrical systems, and heating or cooling issues can bring unexpected expenses. While insurance offers protection, deductibles and coverage limits often mean high out-of-pocket costs, and filing claims may lead to higher premiums later.Renting, by contrast, offers predictability. Repairs are the landlord's responsibility, which can provide stability during periods of debt reduction or saving. The phrase house poor exists for a reason. Buying before you're ready can strain budgets, limit generosity, and leave you feeling trapped rather than thankful.While homeownership can be a blessing, it's not a measure of faithfulness—and it isn't right for every situation. Sometimes, the wisest choice is to continue renting, patiently preparing for what comes next, and trusting that God's timing is often kinder than our urgency.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'd like to understand what an irrevocable trust is and how it works.I have $30,000 I'd like to invest outside of real estate.

Speaking at a recent campaign event, she asked President Cyril Ramaphosa to declare a state of emergency, deploy the army to assist police and involve courts and the defence force in removing illegal foreigners. She claims undocumented migrants are linked to high crime rates and are draining public resources. Elvis Presslin spoke to March and March Movement Founder, Jacinta Ngobese-Zuma

This is no longer just a hurdle for first time buyers; it is a systemic time bomb that is stripping away financial agency and threatening the future of social mobility.

Planning an Ireland vacation can feel overwhelming when you start adding up the numbers -but a memorable trip doesn't have to be out of reach. With smart choices and a few intentional trade-offs, travelers can enjoy Ireland fully without overspending. Guinness costs less in a rural pub This article is also available as the Traveling in Ireland podcast, episode 324. Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. How to Travel Ireland on a Tighter Budget Without Regret Ireland isn't expensive because of one single thing – it's the accumulation of daily costs. Understanding where money actually matters (and where it doesn't) makes all the difference. What a Realistic Daily Budget Looks Like For travelers watching their spending, typical daily costs (not including flights) often look like this: Budget-conscious travelers: around €130 per day Mid-range comfort: approximately €180 per day Comfort & luxury: €300+ per day That daily spend usually includes accommodations, meals, transportation, and attractions. Knowing this baseline helps travelers decide where to adjust – without sacrificing what they'll remember most. Comfort Matters More Than Luxury Most travelers are happy to skip fancy hotels, upgraded rooms, or city-center addresses. What they won't give up: A good night's sleep Private rooms and quiet locations Comfortable beds and reliable hot water (with good water pressure) Discomfort creates regret, and regret has a way of coloring the entire trip. Local goats cheese with greens and Shepherd's pie Spend Less on Food-But Eat Well Dining is one of the easiest places to adjust spending. Plan fewer, better meals instead of eating out constantly Avoid high-priced areas like Temple Bar for everyday meals and pints Choose accommodations with breakfast outside the cities Use grocery shops or petrol stations for casual lunches or picnic supplies Saving money on food isn't about deprivation – it's about choosing when the experience really matters. Guide to Eating Well During Your Ireland Vacation Stay Outside the Most Expensive Areas Staying just outside major hubs can significantly reduce accommodation costs. Villages near Dublin connected by DART or bus offer better value Rural areas near popular spots like Killarney, Dingle, or County Clare beyond Doolin often cost less The trade-off is time and logistics. Distance is flexible; complicated transportation and missed evenings in local pubs are not. Off-Season Travel: Big Savings, Different Rhythm Traveling outside peak season can mean:Pros Lower airfare and accommodation costs Fewer crowds Easier access to popular sites Cons Shorter daylight hours (often 8 hours or less in winter) Cooler, wetter weather Reduced hours or closures at smaller attractions Off-season trips suit flexible travelers, repeat visitors, and those who enjoy a slower pace. Transportation: Money vs. Time Public transportation is affordable, but it comes with trade-offs: Limited access in rural areas Longer travel times Less flexibility if plans change It works best for city-based itineraries with structured day trips. Renting a car costs more -but saves time and opens up more of the countryside. Flights: Cheapest Isn't Always the Best Deal Bare-bones airfare can backfire once baggage fees, seat selection, or change costs are added. Look for fares that include a checked bag and flexibility Learn typical pricing so true deals stand out Flexibility upfront often saves money later Flight search & fare tools for Ireland Flight monitoring & booking strategy (best timing for fixed dates) Ross Castle in Killarney Free Experiences & the OPW Heritage Card Ireland offers an incredible range of free experiences: Natural landscapes, hikes, and ruins National museums in Dublin and Castlebar One of the best values for travelers is the OPW Heritage Card, which often pays for itself in six or seven visits. It covers many top sites, including: Rock of Cashel Glendalough Visitor Centre Newgrange Kilmainham Gaol OPW Heritage Card (access to top historic sites) Irish heritage sites (the most popular + often overlooked) Used thoughtfully, it shapes a relaxed itinerary instead of becoming a checklist. Souvenirs That Actually Matter Travelers are moving away from mass-produced trinkets and toward: One or two meaningful items (jewelry, wool, crafts) Consumables like Irish chocolate or whiskey Memory-keepers like journals with ticket stubs and photos (the spiral bound My Ireland Vacation Planner & Journal is perfect for this!) The goal isn't proof of travel – it's connection and memories. Where Travelers Most Often Have Regrets After the trip, regrets rarely come from spending money. They usually come from: Overly long driving days Skipping a must-do experience Choosing poor accommodations What travelers don't regret: A truly great meal Staying somewhere special (yes, castles count) Buying a meaningful souvenir Saving money should never come at the cost of time – because time doesn't come back. Traveling Ireland on a tighter budget isn't about being cheap. It's about being intentional, returning home with great memories, and not wishing you'd done things differently.

What allows brands to build durable growth and real customer relationships in an increasingly noisy digital world? Mobile app builder Ross Correia maintains that the strongest brands focus on ownership over optimization — prioritizing direct relationships, reducing friction at every touchpoint, and meeting customers where and when they're most receptive. Brands should stop over-optimizing short-term metrics, design experiences that feel native to how people use their phones, personalize outreach thoughtfully, and choose long-term trust over quick wins. The result is sustainable growth rooted in loyalty, not volatility. In this episode of the Up Arrow Podcast, William Harris talks with Ross Correia, Co-founder and CEO of Reactiv, about building owned customer channels in e-commerce. Ross explains why paid ads create hidden risk, how mobile-first experiences increase retention, and what it takes to build a company — and culture — by choosing the difficult but durable path.

This episode covers: • What to do when funding disappears at the worst possible moment • Why "just take the money" is often the smartest early decision • The difference between venture-backed startups and traditional businesses • When fundraising should (and should not) be your full-time job • Why testing ideas cheaply beats building the wrong thing perfectly • The traits Andrew sees consistently in founders who succeed • How to find the one clear message that makes customers stop and listen If you're building a startup, considering raising capital, or trying to decide whether growth  should be funded or earned, this conversation will give you clarity without hype.  Watch now for a grounded, real-world look at startups, money, and making better  decisions earlier. ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction & Guest Welcome 00:26 The Moment Andrew's Startup Ran Out of Money 02:10 Why Early Funding Can Disappear Overnight 03:20 "Just Take the Money": Lessons on Leverage 04:18 Which Businesses Should (and Shouldn't) Raise Venture Capital 06:57 Equity, SAFEs, and Convertible Notes Explained 08:37 When Founders Should Start Fundraising 11:47 Andrew's Path From Founder to Investor 16:14 Inside Accelerators and Early-Stage Investing 20:16 The Traits Andrew Sees in Successful Founders 25:32 Why Stories Teach Better Than How-To Guides 28:52 Testing Ideas Before Spending Real Money 33:39 Renting vs. Buying in the Early Stages 36:18 Finding the One Message That Stops Customers 45:03 Final Advice for Founders 49:00 Andrew's Book & Where to Find Him To connect with Andrew Ackerman's website: https://www.andrewbackerman.com Buy "The Entrepeneur's Odyssey" here: https://www.amazon.com/Entrepreneurs-Odyssey-Approach-Startup-Success/dp/1032883545/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0 Don't forget to subscribe for the latest podcast episodes and insights from @mkbcfo Do you have your own financial or business growth questions for MKB?  Visit: Website: https://mkbcfo.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mkb_cfo/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mkbcfo LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/mkbcfo #StartupLife #VentureCapital #Entrepreneurship #FounderJourney #StartupFunding #BusinessGrowth #RiskManagement #CashFlow #Innovation #TheFinancialOperator

In this episode, Brian and Jon reflect on 1 John 2:12–17 and invites us to consider a challenging question: What are we building? John writes to believers who already know God, yet still feel the pull of the short-term — comfort, captivation, and validation that promise satisfaction apart from Him.Using the image of this world as a temporary rental, the conversation contrasts living like renters versus owners. Renting centers on personal comfort and immediacy; ownership is marked by stewardship, cultivation, growth, and legacy. John isn't calling us to reject delight or disengage from the world, but to reorder our priorities around God's long-term purposes.The invitation is clear: live with intention, invest wisely, and participate in God's Kingdom coming on earth as it is in heaven.

In this candid solo episode, Jesse walks through a series of financial decisions that look "wrong" on paper but make complete sense when viewed through the lens of real life, values, and tradeoffs. Using personal examples, he challenges the idea that optimal spreadsheets should always dictate behavior, arguing instead that financial planning exists to support a life well lived—not to win theoretical efficiency contests. Jesse explains why holding excess cash even when expected returns favor investing, and prioritizing flexibility and simplicity over marginal tax optimization. Throughout the episode, he dismantles the myth that good planning means eliminating all inefficiency, emphasizing that peace of mind, optionality, and behavioral alignment often outweigh incremental gains. By reframing "dumb" financial moves as intentional choices made with eyes wide open, Jesse encourages listeners to separate true financial mistakes from decisions that are simply mismatched to someone else's values or risk tolerance—and to give themselves permission to choose what actually works for their lives. Key Takeaways: • Not all financially "inefficient" decisions are mistakes. Optimization often ignores behavioral and emotional realities. • Taking care of a low interest loan can offer peace of mind—despit better returns often being found in investments. • Leasing a car or renting a home may be the right move—depending on the situation. • Using an HSA early may seem like a bad idea, but it could help reduce stress elsewhere in our financial lives. • Being a "lazy investor" is often better than being a complicated investor. • Spreadsheets cannot fully capture human behavior. A "good" decision can look bad to outsiders and still be right.

The conversation focuses on how linen choices shift as portfolios grow, and why decisions that seem straightforward early on can become more complex at scale.Rather than treating linens as a one-time purchase, this episode explores them as an operational system that touches guest experience, laundry workflows, replacement cycles, inventory planning, and cost control.Episode Chapters:01:07 – Deepak's background in textile manufacturing and direct-to-consumer bedding04:55 – How and why STR operators became a core customer segment16:45 – Cotton performance and durability in high-turnover environments17:45 – Common reasons linens need replacement in STR operations13:33 – Renting versus owning linens and how operators assess the tradeoffs14:43 – Laundry considerations for in-house and outsourced models25:31 – Inventory availability, fulfillment speed, and consistency at scale31:56 – How linen strategy evolves as portfolios grow28:09 – Operational simplicity when managing linens across multiple propertiesConnect with Deepak:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deepak-mehrotra-9752682/ Connect with California Design Den:Website: https://www.californiadesignden.com/ ✨ Exclusive Offer to Alex & Annie Listeners:Upgrade your guest sleep experience with California Design Den.Get 10% off with code AlexAnnie10OFF.Apply for California Design Den's Linen VIP Club to access preferred pricing and dedicated hospitality support.

Most excavation and heavy civil contractors don't fail because of bad work—they fail because of poor cash flow, bad equipment decisions, and overcomplicated growth. In this episode, Nate Morello breaks down how he's built a lean excavation business by focusing on payment schedules, job rhythm, and technology that replaces labor instead of adding overhead. If you're running municipal, commercial, or excavation work and feel like the business is starting to control you, this episode will hit close to home.Key Takeaways:✅ Cash flow beats contract size: Nate explains why payment schedules, retainage, and holdbacks matter more than landing “big” municipal jobs.✅ Technology should replace labor, not add stress: Grade control, rotators, and attachments only work if they fit your operation—not because someone else has them.✅ Don't buy gear for ego: Nate breaks down how screener buckets, rotators, and attachments paid off only because they matched his workflow.✅ Rhythm over perfection: Over-perfecting jobs kills momentum—focus effort where the customer actually sees value.✅ Time is the real cost: Renting, hauling, waiting, and delays quietly eat profit faster than most operators realize.Why It Matters:If you're trying to grow without losing control—or wondering why the work feels harder even though you're “busy”—this episode shows how experienced operators think long-term.Links:➡️ Check out Nate Morello's MC Build Facebook Page:⁠ https://www.facebook.com/mcbuildnh➡️ Shop Attachments: Build your business with the right attachments. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.skidsteernation.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠➡️ Marketing Help: Marketing built for blue-collar contractors. ⁠⁠⁠ https://getthrottledup.com/

Jay Parsons discusses the “substantial burden” facing would-be homebuyers right now and how banning institutional investors buying houses doesn't change those dynamics. He argues that owning is much more expensive than renting right now, and that many renters can't get a mortgage. He notes that less starter homes are being built and there is less upward mobility than he would like to see. Jay focuses on the benefits of renting a single-family home emotionally, economically, and physically.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In part one of the First-Time Homebuyer Playbook, David Sidoni lays out the essential mindset every buyer needs before they ever look at a home: the rent replacement strategy.

Does Renting a Room Make Your Property a Rental Property in Alberta?

In this episode of The Property Nerds podcast, hosts Arjun Paliwal, Jack Fouracre, and Adrian Lee discuss the rise of rentvesting and its impact on Australian property investment. Rentvesting involves renting a home in a desirable location while investing in property elsewhere, allowing investors to balance lifestyle choices with financial growth. Fouracre explains that for buyers with limited borrowing capacity, it can be more effective to invest in properties outside their immediate living area, where returns may be higher. Lee highlights the flexibility it provides, particularly for those who relocate frequently for work, avoiding the costs and constraints of home ownership. Paliwal stresses that rentvesting requires a solid investment plan and careful market analysis, as it's not only about living where you want, but also about making smart financial decisions. The co-hosts also discuss how trends like rising rents, fluctuating interest rates, and remote work are boosting the strategy's popularity. While rentvesting is on the rise, the trio note the importance of cash flow and rental yields in determining whether the strategy makes financial sense.

Episode 92: OwnershipDaily CreativeIn this episode, we dive into the nuanced meaning of ownership in creative work and leadership. As the landscape is rapidly transformed by AI and powerful new tools, we explore the temptation to offload not just labor but also the very thinking that gives our work its unique signature. We unpack what it means to retain genuine ownership of process, relationships, and output—moving beyond merely curating machine-generated results and instead staying empathetically engaged in the creative process.Our guest, Greg Hawks, joins us to challenge the difference between “owners”, “renters”, and “vandals” in organizations. He brings fresh perspective on why many disengage, how environments subtly encourage or discourage ownership, and what teams and leaders can do to foster a climate where true creative engagement thrives.Some of the themes we touch on include:The fine balance between leveraging technology for efficiency and maintaining our emotional logic in creative decisionsWhy struggle and friction are the crucibles of meaningful, resonant workHow organizations inadvertently suppress ownership—and how to change that dynamicConcrete strategies for shifting from a renter to an owner mindsetThe powerful impact of reducing toxic “vandal” behavior on overall team engagementFive Key Learnings:Offloading too much of the creative process—especially decision-making—can hollow out our unique voice and intuition.Emotional logic, shaped by lived experience and intuition, is irreplaceable and differentiates meaningful work from mere output.Vandals—self-centered, divisive team members—can demotivate large segments of an organization, and removing them often unlocks higher engagement.True ownership requires us to understand the personal “returns” we seek (emotional, financial, relational, opportunity, growth) and articulate them courageously.Struggle and friction aren't just obstacles—they're where creative insight emerges and individual judgment is strengthened.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

Is buying a house still a good investment—or has the market pulled too much future return forward?

Forget the headlines. The real story behind today's housing market is more complex than you think. Jay Byce, president of ResiBuilt, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to explain what's often misunderstood about housing today, drawing on economics, demographics and long-term planning rather than headline-driven narratives. Debunking Housing Myths Despite frequent media narratives, institutional investors are not driving up housing costs. Even the largest publicly traded single-family rental developers control only a sliver of the overall market. In fact, they represent well under 1% of the nation's roughly 18 million single-family rental homes. “They cannot affect the market in that way. It's nothing like a monopoly,” Byce said. “They're improving the houses that people are living in, and coming out of the downturn, they renovated homes that were in severe disrepair back in 2011 and 2012.” Affordability challenges follow a simple equation: supply and demand. After more than a decade of underbuilding, the U.S. is short an estimated 5 million homes. When demand consistently outpaces supply, prices rise. Byce also addressed another common misconception — that builders are driving prices higher out of greed. Home builders historically operate on thin margins, averaging roughly 8% to 10% net profit over decades. Public confusion often stems from conflating gross margins with net returns. Land prices, development costs, municipal fees and the cost of capital all weigh heavily on final home prices. Execution efficiency can help, but it cannot offset structural cost increases, particularly those imposed by lengthy entitlement processes and rising local government fees. The Rise of Build-to-Rent ResiBuilt's early focus on build-to-rent was not accidental. Byce explains that the firm began studying millennial housing behavior well before its 2018 launch and concluded that younger households were not rejecting homeownership outright — they were rejecting outdated housing products. Millennials moved from amenity-rich student housing into high-end multifamily communities, only to experience a sharp drop-off in quality when transitioning to traditional starter homes. As a result, many simply opted out. Build-to-rent fills that gap by offering new, finished homes that deliver modern features without the maintenance responsibilities of homeownership. Instead of a millennial-dominated renter base, early communities quickly filled with two core groups: millennials and “young empty nesters,” each accounting for roughly 40% of residents. For empty nesters, build-to-rent offers a lock-and-leave lifestyle without sacrificing space, privacy or the ability to remain in family-oriented environments. Byce points out that the overlap in expectations between renters and buyers is far greater than many assume. Renting and Buying: More Alike than Different As build-to-rent expanded nationally, some operators attempted to cut costs to lower rents. ResiBuilt took the opposite approach. Renters notice quality just as acutely as buyers. From stainless steel appliances to tile backsplashes and upgraded countertops, renters expect durable, high-quality finishes. The modest monthly savings achieved by cutting finishes rarely justify higher long-term maintenance and turnover costs. ResiBuilt has selectively expanded into for-sale housing, which now accounts for about 10% of its annual production. Byce describes the transition as seamless, noting that the company has always designed homes as if they were intended for ownership. “Think about cars, right? So you want to go and buy a car. What do you do? First, you choose the car you want to buy, right?” Byce said. “Then they give you the option. ‘Do you want to put a lot of money down and get a loan on this car, ‘or ‘Do you want to lease this car and just pay a monthly payment?' We kind of thought of it the same way. We want to give people what they expect to buy, but with an option to lease it.” The Long View of Housing Trends Investor appetite for build-to-rent has cooled over the past two years, driven by higher interest rates and strong returns in competing asset classes such as equities. That slowdown has made new deals harder to pencil, even as demand for rental homes remains strong. Still, ResiBuilt continues to plan years ahead. Homebuilding is not reactive and takes time to develop into fruition. Communities delivering in 2028, for example, are being entitled and purchased today. That long lead time creates risk when builders pull back simultaneously. As land purchases slow and fewer projects break ground, the industry may be setting the stage for an even tighter supply environment three years down the road that could push prices higher regardless of interest rate relief. What is the solution? A sharp correction in home prices would erode household wealth for millions of homeowners and risk triggering a broader recession that far outweighs the benefits. Instead, Byce points to a more sustainable path: price stability combined with wage growth and lower interest rates. Even modest improvements on both fronts could meaningfully improve affordability without destabilizing the market. What's Next for the Housing Industry Byce is cautiously optimistic about the near-term outlook. He expects lower rates to unlock pent-up demand and fuel a stronger-than-expected spring housing season. Longer term, he remains confident that 2027 and 2028 will be strong years for housing, driven by demographics and an ongoing supply shortage. Opportunities are increasingly emerging in secondary and tertiary markets, including fast-growing exurbs around Atlanta and metros such as Savannah, Ga., Greenville, S.C., Huntsville, Ala., and Asheville, N.C. These locations boast quality of life, schools and relative affordability that continue to attract buyers and renters alike.

In Case of Cancellation Read and understand cancellation policies on everything from flights and transportation to tours and accommodations before booking. If booking with a credit card be aware of the cancellation coverage you may have with that card. I highly recommend purchasing travel insurance if you book tickets our tours that don't allow 100% refund if cancelled. And always if you are booking a tour package (and not necessarily the one the company offers). 2026 Looks like Another Busy Year from Travel to Ireland from North America Irish tourism numbers showed that tourism from Europe into Ireland was down, but numbers from North America remained steady. From my perspective things are already looking busy, especially in the months of May, late August, and September. (The shoulder season is the new high season.) More Direct Flights to Ireland in 2026 Aer Lingus, Ireland's flagship airline is adding 2 new US routes in 2026, bringing the total to 18 routes from Dublin!This is important because Aer Lingus is considered a ‘budget' carrier. And when budget carriers enter a market, US based airlines will drop rates to compete.
