This one stuck with me from the latest episode. 👇

You don’t need a complete overhaul. You just need to start thinking differently than you have before.

Everyone says work smarter not harder. But what does that actually look like in real estate?

John LeRoy puts it simply. You don’t have to pivot. You just have to think differently than you did before.

And if you’re a real estate agent, that starts with how you approach referrals.

Staying ahead of the market means keeping a pulse on the data and the details. Here is a quick snapshot of what’s happening in the LA real estate investing world right now:

In the News: One chapter of the post-fire recovery just closed. LA County did not extend the emergency price gouging laws. Housing providers in LA have one less restriction to navigate... but read on before you celebrate.

Law to Be Aware Of: California still has price gouging protections in place through June 22nd tied to the December rains. The fire-related rules may be gone but you are not fully in the clear yet.

General Real Estate Tip: Strict rental criteria and top dollar rent sounds like the dream. But the math has to work for your market. If the income required to qualify is out of reach for most people in your area, you may be filtering out good tenants without realizing it. Sometimes the smarter move is adjusting the price to match the criteria, not the other way around.

What are you seeing in your neck of the woods? Let’s discuss in the comments. 👇

This is one of the biggest disconnects in the mortgage industry right now.

Loan officers qualify borrowers on gross income, not what they actually bring home. Dr. Jennifer Gormer breaks down why that matters and what needs to change. The reason why this is a problem is because everyone’s financial position is different and could put financial strain and make someone “house poor.”

Not everyone who inherits their parents’ house should become a landlord.

James puts it simply. If you’re already the type of person who runs side businesses, car washes, vending machines, whatever it is, then adding a rental property to that mix makes total sense. You already have the operator mindset.

But if that’s not you, keeping the house as a rental might not be the right move just because it feels like the obvious one.

If we can get the first person in a family to buy a home, we can change the entire trajectory of that family going forward.

De. Jennifer Gormer said it best. She was the first in her family to buy. Two years later her mom bought her first house too. That’s the ripple effect of homeownership.

It’s not just about buying property. It’s about breaking a cycle and building generational wealth.

A lot of people think down payment assistance is a one size fits all program. It’s not.

There is no single national program for everyone. It varies by city, region, state, lender and more. And when buyers don’t understand that, they end up chasing programs with rates so high it crosses into predatory lending territory.

That’s a real problem. And it’s one of the biggest things affecting affordability right now.

Real estate is the only industry where fierce competitors have to cooperate with each other just to get paid.

Think about it. Two attorneys don’t want to cooperate. The more wrong they make the other side look, the angrier the client gets and the longer they bill. But in real estate you need the other side to close the deal.

Name another industry where that’s the case. I can’t think of one.

David Faudman said it and I couldn’t agree more.

The agents who are going to thrive in this industry are the ones who build real relationships. That’s the one thing AI will never be able to replicate.

Most of what a real estate agent used to do, technology can now do faster.

But there are two things clients will always pay for that no AI can replace. Your knowledge of the market and your relationships.

The best agents aren’t waiting for listings to hit the MLS. They already know what’s coming before it does.
