369: Real Estate Rental Trends and the New Economic Landscape with Alex Blackwood

Episode Description from the Publisher

This podcast features a discussion between host Jason Hartman and Mogul Club co-founder Alex Blackwood regarding the current state of the U.S. real estate market. The conversation begins with an analysis of the Washington D.C. housing landscape, noting how political shifts and government efficiency initiatives like DOGE are impacting local supply and demand. Blackwood explains that despite higher interest rates, a persistent housing shortage and "golden handcuffs"—where homeowners refuse to sell low-rate mortgages—continue to buoy property values. They explore the concept of shadow demand from young adults living at home and how institutional investors are driving rental growth in markets like Texas. Ultimately, the source promotes real estate crowdfunding as a viable tool for younger investors to build wealth amidst an increasingly unaffordable traditional market. #RealEstateInvesting #HousingShortage #RentalMarket #MogulClub #DOGE #DCHousing #GoldenHandcuffs #ShadowDemand #PathOfGrowth #CommercialProperty #WealthGap #TexasRealEstate #FractionalInvesting #HousingAffordability #EconomicTrends     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
