E84 - Gerald Celente’s Predictions on Trade Wars, Stocks, Real Estate, and Gold

Not having the ability to predict the future makes it extremely challenging when it comes to investing because you never know what the next black swan event will be. Since there are so many potential challenges in the economy that could cause a recession, accurate predictions can be almost impossible.

E82 - What Do Rising Interest Rates Actually Mean for Cap Rates?

We all know that when interest rates go up, borrowing money becomes more expensive. This also has a profound effect on properties, because the more expensive borrowing becomes, the less debt the property can substantiate, in turn decreasing the property value. As those property values decline, cap rates will continue to climb, meaning that as interest rates rise, cap rates increase as well. What do those rising interest rates actually mean for real estate investors? Our guest for today is Mike Zlotnik who is the CEO of Tempo Funding and the Founder of TH Management Groups, which are real estate investment companies. He has been a debt and equity investor in real estate since 2000 and has always had a passion for it because of its predictability of outcome and well-understood risks.
