No, BlackRock Isn't Buying Every Home in America — The Real Story

There's a foreclosure wave forming in a specific corner of the country that almost nobody is talking about. If you own real estate, invest in real estate, or are even thinking about your next move — this episode of Real Estate Disclosure covers what the data actually says, not what the headlines are screaming.I sat down with Rick Sharga, founder and CEO of CJ Patrick Company, one of the most-cited housing data voices in the country along with my parents Dennis and Teresa Walsh of YourHome.Academy, who talk to real estate agents in markets across the country every week. Together we walked through what's really happening as we head deeper into 2026.✅ Which states are stacking up the conditions for an FHA-driven foreclosure wave — and what does that map actually look like? ✅ Is BlackRock really buying every home in America (and is that even the right company)? ✅ What did the Iran war and the Q1 weather actually do to home sales momentum heading into spring? ✅ How are student loan delinquencies quietly setting up a second hit to the same regions already under pressure? ✅ Where is affordability genuinely improving — and where are prices still falling year over year? ✅ What's the one capital gains rule from 1997 that's keeping millions of homeowners frozen in place?If you own multiple properties, you're sitting on equity, or you're trying to figure out whether to hold, sell, or restructure in the next one to twenty-four months — this is the conversation worth your hour.🔗 Follow Rick Sharga: https://cjpatrick.com/ | @RickSharga on social 🔗 Visit Dennis and Teresa Walsh at https://yourhome.academy/📞 Free Consultion with Christian 👉 https://calendly.com/wireassociates📌 Don’t miss another update!
