How Will The Trump Assassination Attempt Change The Real Estate Market?
This is a special Patriots edition of the Investor Creator Podcast. Unless you've been in a coma for the past three days, then you know that there was an assassination attempt at the former President Trump that came incredibly close to having dire consequences. But since this is not a politics show but a real estate show, the question we are asking now as real estate investors is, how does this potentially impact the real estate market? In this episode, Brad shares what he has seen so far in election cycles, and how significant political events impact the buyers' activity and buyers' sentiment. We're going to cover the situation in the real estate market around 2016 elections, and what we can possibly expect in the light of this extreme event and upcoming elections of 2024. Brad also shares advice for the real estate investors on how to track their listings to remain safe, and why we all have to be cognizant of market cycles today. Because the first rule of making money is don't lose money. And stay tuned for our new show launching soon!
