   506: The Delisting Dilemma and the $500,000 Equity Trap: Why Homeowners Refuse to Sell with Rick Sharga

   Rick Sharga, founder of CJ Patrick Company, discusses current housing market conditions and economic trends. Rick explains that despite mortgage rates tripling since the pandemic, the housing market has shown resilience with 49 consecutive months of year-over-year price increases, though sales volume remains down for three years. He noted that while affordability remains a challenge with a $40,000 wage gap for median-income buyers, recent data shows pending sales and mortgage purchase applications running ahead of last year, suggesting pent-up demand may soon drive market recovery. Rick highlighted that inflation concerns stem largely from energy price increases following the Iran conflict, and emphasized that wage growth continues to outpace home price growth, making affordability slightly better. He also discussed how builders currently face a 10-month supply of new homes while existing home inventory remains tight, creating opportunities for investors in both markets. https://empoweredinvestor.com/Ai Reach out to our Investment Counselors 1-800- HARTMAN Ext. 2 PropertyTracker.com https://cjpatrick.com _______________________________________________________________ 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://empoweredinvestor.com/ (https://empoweredinvestor.com/) Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://empoweredinvestor.com/deals (https://empoweredinvestor.com/deals) Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

   504: The Financial Predators: Exposing Wall Street's Rent Seeking and Graft

Jason welcomes, financial expert Barry James Dyke as he discusses his research into the systematic corruption and "rent-seeking" behaviors of Wall Street institutions. He highlights how major asset managers like BlackRock and Goldman Sachs prioritize their own profits and bonuses through high fees and taxpayer-funded bailouts, even when their clients suffer significant losses. Dyke critiques modern financial vehicles like 401(k)s and ESG investing, labeling them as deceptive marketing tools that lack transparency and genuine security for the middle class. To combat this "organized crime," he advocates for personal financial discipline, the use of specialized insurance products for capital growth, and the shift toward becoming a direct owner of assets. Ultimately, the conversation serves as a warning against a debt-based system designed to transfer wealth from the public to a small group of financial elites.

Inside a recent episode

505: The Job Market and a Housing Shortage of 4 Million | NAR Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun

Published 24 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] You say many amazing things, but this one is mind-blowing, and I'm not sure if people really caught it. During the Great Recession or the global financial crisis, whatever you want to call it, starting 2007, 2008, at the peak of the distressed sales volume for 40, that's four zero percent of sales were considered distressed sales. And by comparison, today, only one percent are distressed sales. I mean, if that doesn't make the doomers who have been predicting the sky is falling for so long, just wrong, wrong, wrong. I don't know what does by any standard you look at it. Mortgages, like you said, are very well underwritten. […]
