  • Perfect, what can I say….

    I love this podcast as an agent and an investor. Many times I’ll do my own research, sometimes to the point of having too much info and the inability to make a final opinion.

    They take complex points, explain them in simple terms and can help me get a full idea of the potential paths.

    Love it and grateful!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Water, Power and Data Centers: Understanding the Demands on Infrastructure - EP 153
Q: If someone tells us a data center will use a certain amount of water and electricity, what questions should we ask next?
Ask whether the figure covers one building, a campus or a region; how it compares with the local water system; and whether the electricity number refers to annual use, daily use or peak power requirements.
Water, Power and Data Centers: Understanding the Demands on Infrastructure - EP 153
Q: How much water and electricity does a data center use?
National estimates put U.S. data center water use at roughly 21 billion gallons in 2024 and 26.6 billion in 2025, while electricity use was estimated at 192 terawatt hours in 2024. Consumption varies considerably among facilities because of their size, computing density and cooling systems.
The Sun Belt Apartment Glut Has Peaked. Now Comes the Hard Part: Leasing It. - EP 152
Q: What exactly should people watch for in the multifamily space over the next several quarters?
Watch whether new deliveries slow, apartment absorption continues to exceed deliveries, vacancy rates begin falling, and owners need fewer concessions. Together, those would indicate that improvement is reaching the leasing market.
The Sun Belt Apartment Glut Has Peaked. Now Comes the Hard Part: Leasing It. - EP 152
Q: Why have so many apartments arrived in these markets at roughly the same time?
Pandemic-era migration to Sun Belt cities, demand for more space and remote-work flexibility, and cheap financing encouraged developers to build. Since apartment projects take years, much of that supply opened after borrowing costs rose and migration slowed.
The Mysterious Metric that Moves Mortgage Rates - EP 102
Q: What is the outlook for mortgage rates based on the neutral rate?
The outlook for mortgage rates suggests they might ease towards 5.5% by the end of 2025 as inflation cools and the economy adjusts, although it may take until 2026 to reach this rate.
