Why Waiting Until 2027 Costs You Money
Everyone’s waiting for interest rates to drop before they buy a house. That’s the biggest mistake you can make right now.
The truth? Now is the best time to buy. Here’s why.
High rates have scared most buyers out of the market. Fewer people are looking. But there’s another problem for sellers. It’s winter. Nobody wants to move in December. The people still listing? They’re desperate. They don’t want to carry that house into the new year.
That means less competition for you. That means sellers willing to negotiate. That means opportunity.
We break down what waiting until 2027 actually costs you. More buyers back in the market. Sellers with options again. Interest rates that might not drop the way you think they will.
Plus we talk about seasonality. Winter slump. Political uncertainty. And why most people won’t take action on what they should be doing right now.
If you’re thinking about buying a house, this episode is for you.

How to Build a Real Estate Portfolio in the Toughest Real Estate Year with Gus Ofili
What does it actually take to go from a 9 to 5 at Bank of America to 76 doors in one of the most challenging real estate markets in the country?
Andres brings on Gus Ofili, a Maine based real estate investor, agent, and host of Behind the Doors Podcast to talk about the mindset shifts, deal finding strategies, and hard lessons that separate real investors from people just talking about it. They get into student rentals, making low offers without fear, why appreciation is a gamble not a strategy, and the one thing a new investor should do right now with only $10,000 in their account.
