Investors are fleeing the housing market. But…is anyone surprised? After over a year of high interest rates, cash flow has become almost impossible to find. Real estate investors are comparing ultra-safe investments, like bonds, against rentals and coming to the conclusion that the risk isn’t worth the reward. But why now? And could investor activity drop BELOW pre-pandemic levels?

Dave is back to dig into the data on the investor exodus from the housing market. Even with home purchases down across the board, investor purchases are SERIOUSLY nosediving, especially in specific markets. BUT, one type of real estate investing is still holding strong, boasting an average profit of over SIXTY percent (yes, even in 2023). Which strategy is still winning? Stick around to find out!
