Summary

As real estate investors, we don't get the luxury of ignoring what's happening in the broader economy. Interest rates, inflation, global conflict, government policy, and shifting sentiment all have a way of showing up in real decisions investors are making every day … What we buy, how we finance, and when we choose to act. In this episode one of the world's leading economists, Dr. Mark Skousen, joins Robert Helms to share his perspective on the markets, the war, and what investors can do to be prepared for whatever comes next. Drawing on decades of economic research and market observation, Mark helps connect today's headlines to the bigger forces shaping opportunity and risk. Then in our Market Spotlight, apartment investor Brad Sumrok highlights three markets that are showing notable strength despite today's challenges. He breaks down what's driving demand and why these areas continue to attract investor attention. Listen in to get a clearer read on where the economy may be heading—and what that could mean for your next move in real estate. Since 1997, The Real Estate Guys™ radio show features real estate investing ideas, strategies, interviews, and all kinds of valuable resources.
