Welcome everyone to the investing in real estate show. I'm Clayton Morris. Hope you're

all doing well. There's a lot of talk right now about interest rates and I think it's really

important to have some historical context for what these interest rates mean

also how the mainstream media is spinning these interest rates look I worked in the mainstream media is spinning these interest trades.

Look, I worked in the mainstream media for a number of years.

I know how the belly of the beast works in order to

fullment fear.

God knows all you need to look around right now is to see that monkey pox is scaring the hell out of everyone. So on today's show I want to talk about mortgage

rates. What we possibly could expect for the rest of 2022 put this in some significant and historical context here so we cannot freak out but also it's

important for us to have a better understanding about that.

So in 2022 mortgage rates are up and they will continue to climb.

Well that sounds like bad news for homebuyers and investors if you look at the full picture

you're going to see that rates aren't necessarily up. Instead, it's more like they're returning

to a baseline number. In fact, you may even argue, these things have been artificially low for so long.

Why have they been so low?

In fact, you've had many critics of the Federal Reserve

saying, this is ridiculous.

Like, these should not be this low. This is why we have runaway inflation, the

printing of money, and the amount of capital that's flowing into these

hedge funds and Wall Street institutions.

The rich get richer, right?

Well, that's our topic for today's show.
