This is a special episode of the Mile High Real Estate Success Podcast with our good friends Justin Cooper and Kevin Amolsch from Pine Financial Group.

We covered a lot of ground, but here are some key takeaways: Interest rates are likely to stay between 6.5-7.5% over the next 1-2 years. I know, not what we were hoping for. But the Fed is determined to fight inflation, so patience is key. We're seeing more inventory and longer market times in the Denver metro area. Sellers can no longer overprice and expect quick sales like in the past. For investors, this means being nimble. Sharpen your pencils, get parade home ready, and price appropriately. Despite headwinds, real estate remains a solid long-term play in my view. It may require some short-term pain like negative cash flow, but staying invested pays over time. Passive options like debt funds also offer stability amid uncertainty. Let me know what you're seeing in your market! How are you navigating the changes this year?
