Become an REI Hot Seat Insider: ⁠https://submit.jotform.com/info_Admin_info831/rei-hotseat-insider-sign-up-form In E111 of the REI Hot Seat, Andrew Hines and Jacob Campagnaro delve into the economic and market dynamics affecting real estate investors, focusing on tariffs, interest rates, and investment strategies.  They discuss the potential impact of a proposed 25% tariff on Canadian goods by Donald Trump, highlighting its inflationary effects, reduced demand for Canadian exports, and weakened currency value.  While this could strain the economy, they note that real estate assets might appreciate in such an environment due to inflation.  The conversation also touches on expectations of declining interest rates, which could lead to higher real estate valuations over time, though they caution against expecting immediate changes. Investor sentiment is shifting positively, with increasing interest, particularly from U.S. investors leveraging favorable exchange rates to explore Canadian opportunities.  The Andrew and Jake stress the importance of focusing on cash-flowing, hard assets to weather economic fluctuations and encourages investors to seek deals by working with market experts. Additionally, they emphasize the need for diversification but maintain that real estate remains a cornerstone of long-term portfolio growth.  The episode wraps-up with an announcement of a comprehensive commercial real estate buying course to aid investors and a call for listeners to join their insider network for exclusive off-market deals and updates.
