from Masters of Real Estate · host Mathew Owens

Grab our FREE 200-Point Due Diligence Checklist that we personally use to vet each of our deals HERE: https://mathewowens.com/due-diligence-checklist/ Mortgage rates just hit a seven-month high, mortgage applications dropped over 10% in a single week, and homebuilder confidence is at its lowest point since last fall.  Most investors are sitting on the sidelines waiting for things to calm down. In this episode, Matt Owens breaks down why that instinct is exactly wrong, and what the investors who actually build long-term wealth are doing differently right now. What you'll learn: ✔️ How the Iran war is driving rate spikes and what the mechanics behind that actually look like ✔️ Why waiting for rates to drop is a trap that costs investors more than they realize ✔️ How panic and hesitation in a market create built-in advantages for buyers who are still moving ✔️ How to use seller financing to take advantage of stuck low-rate loans in the current environment ✔️ Which strategies hold up or get more interesting when rates spike and sentiment collapses ✔️ How alternative investments like promissory notes, STR super properties, litigation finance, and cannabis can create non-correlated cash flow regardless of what the market is doing Our goal is to teach you how to be a real estate investor and create financial freedom for yourself through real estate. Building assets that create passive cash flow is the only way to truly be free and stop trading your time for money. It's time to take action and control your future.
