The person to watch is Bill Pulte, the current director of the Federal Housing Finance Authority. This agency oversees lending agencies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The White House Ban On Corporate Ownership

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2026/01/10

The Republican party is known for being conservative, fiscally conservative, socially conservative, religiously conservative, and so on. The latest salvo from the White House is to ban large institutional investors from gobbling up single family homes. Conservative values are based on free markets. The solution to the cost of housing is not to artificially reduce demand. Imagine for a moment that government stepped in to reduce the cost of a burger at McDonalds by barring people above a specific

Are Drones A New Security Threat?

The Real Estate Espresso Podcast ·

2026/01/05

On today’s show we are looking at a new security threat that all property owners need to have on their radar. Ten years ago, a drone was a hobbyist toy. Today, a consumer quadcopter is a stabilized, GPS-enabled camera platform with live video, automated flight modes, and enough payload to carry small objects. That combination has created a new category of criminal capability: low-cost airborne access to your roofline, your yard, your loading dock, and your operational routines.The security mistake

On today’s show we are talking about what I consider to be the number one risk in any construction project. This is one of those activities that forms part of the substrate of the project, but in a customer visible sense adds zero value to the project. It’s necessary, but unwelcome.

All of this falls into the category of dirt work.At
