Think Realty Podcast #304 - What's Next?

What does the future look like in the current market? We don’t have a crystal ball, but Eddie sat down with John Santilli, Chief Revenue Officer at Rehab Financial Group, to discuss how he is feeling about the current marketplace, how it will affect the private lending industry and what we could see from the private lending industry. We haven’t seen housing diminish much and it’s a difficult marketplace based on inventory, so they chatted about if John thinks that’s the driver of what’s making things the way they are, how broad he lends and with the move in the marketplace, does the private lending industry create an outlet for passive investors. Plus, Eddie asks John with the market stabilizing during an election year, interest rates going down, and the housing market increases in value, does this mean that we're in one of the biggest of curves for the build to rent space?
