Are Major Changes Coming to US Banking?

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2025/07/02

On today’s show we are looking at what the Fed could do that would cause a major increase in demand for US Treasuries. If the demand for Treasuries were to increase, the prices would rise and the market rate for those bonds would fall. The US Treasury would no longer be dependent on the interest rate guidance coming from the Federal Reserve. That could save hundreds of billions per year in interest costs for the US government.--------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate

Genesis is a profound exploration of how artificial intelligence is reshaping the human experience—our cognition, ethics, politics, and even our sense of self. Our book this month was co-authored by three people. Eric Schmidt who was the CEO of Google for nearly 20 years.

When Economic Adjustments Can Mislead You

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2025/06/30

On today’s show we are taking a look at two different measurements of the exact same thing. Imagine for a moment that you wanted to cut a piece of wood. You take out your trusty tape measure and measure the distance you think you need. But then along comes an economist who says, “Oh no. You’re not going to use that simple tape measure are you? That will only give you a nominal measurement. There are a bunch of adjustments to be made in order to get the real measurement.”This is a joke of course, but

Valuation Distortions

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2025/06/27

On today’s show we are talking about distorted valuations. When you consider risk, I’m seeing what I can only describe as an atmospheric inversion in today’s markets. Wall Street surged toward new record highs on Thursday, as the S&P 500 briefly topped its February 19 closing high of 6,144.15, extending a nearly $10 trillion rally from the brink of a bear market.On today’s show I’m going to compare the risk free yield on US Treasuries as a baseline benchmark. In some ways, every other investment

New HUD Loan Policy Change

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2025/06/26

On today’s show we are reporting on a change to financing rules in the US that stand to improve the numbers for multi family apartment projects. We are talking about the HUD financing. This is more difficult financing to get than agency debt like Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. But it is superior financing. There are several different loan types. I’m going to focus on the HUD 223F loan, but everything I’m about to say also applies to the HUD 221D4 which is a construction loan combined with a permanent

Acceleration and the Economy

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2025/06/25

On today’s show we are looking at our human ability to forecast non linear effects and in particular how this relates to economic forecasts. We are accustomed to looking at the world in very linear ways. When we see a car approaching most people are pretty good at estimating whether they have enough time to cross the road as long as the car is travelling at constant speed. But if the car is accelerating, virtually all people have a very hard time assessing whether it is safe to cross the road.That’s

What To Do When Loans Reset At Higher Rates?

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2025/06/23

The long awaited pull back in pricing for apartments is here. These properties don’t need to necessarily be poorly performing. It’s the properties that were financed with bank debt from small local and regional banks. These smaller banks typically offered loans with a 20 year amortization period and if the loan was written five years ago, the 10 year Treasury yields were pretty low at 0.7%. The loan written five years ago would have been priced in the mid 4’s. Oh, and here’s the important part. It
