2074: The Dark Side of Airbnb and Short-Term Rentals with Melody Wright

Jason interviewed Melody Wright, a housing analyst and strategist, about the housing market. Melody shared her experience in the mortgage industry and her transition into real estate technology. They discussed her pessimistic outlook on the housing market due to issues like inventory shortage, short-term rental properties, and 'shadow leverage'. Melody emphasized that she wasn't predicting a crash but was highlighting the challenges. Melody and Jason also discussed the delay in recording Covid data in Los Angeles County and the importance of triangulating data from multiple sources. They also touched upon the impact of a frozen housing market and the role of short-term rentals in the market. They also discussed the oversaturation of the short-term rental market due to Airbnb's growth strategy, and the trend of institutional investors pulling back. They concluded the conversation with a discussion on the current state and future prospects of the housing market, including the shift towards rental properties. #RealEstateMarketInsights #ShortTermRentals #Airbnb #InventoryIssues #RealEstateTech #MarketAnalysis #HousingTrends #ShadowInventory #ShortTermRentalSaturation #BuildToRent #RentalMarket #HousingAnalyst #HousingStrategy Key Takeaways: Jason's Editorial 1:27 Housing market crash- it's not IF but WHEN 2:25 Everyone's primary thought 7:48 Join our monthly Empowered Investor Pro meeting Melody Wright Interview Part 1 8:27 Melody's background 11:33 Shadow leverage and the many layers of the housing market  16:24 The inventory component 25:06 Oversaturation of the short term rental market    Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
