In this riveting episode of Real Estate Jerky, co-hosts Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly delve into the tumultuous landscape of today's real estate market.

The conversation then pivots to a snapshot of the current real estate market, highlighting a significant drop in mortgage applications and a stall in market activity due to awaited Federal Reserve decisions and upcoming election results. With high interest rates dominating the scene, Ed and Mike explore both the hurdles and opportunities facing modern homebuyers, including unique advantages offered by VA loans and potential closing cost assistance in December. Our special guest, Brent Bowers from The Landsharks, joins the discussion to share his expertise on land investments.
