The Think Realty Podcast

Eddie says, “Coming into our space, real estate investment for so long has been a sleepy place where a lot of Mom and Pops are buying rental properties. There's not a lot of innovation. There's not a lot of people coming in, and the ones that are coming in to disrupt it, are typically taking opportunity away from the Mom and Pops,” but that was until Padsplit entered the chat! Eddie sat down with Quentin Wendt from Padsplit to discuss what his company does, how much someone could expect to pay, why the economics of Padsplit are great for a renter, and why it could be even better for the investor. They discuss the conversion from short term rentals, if Padsplit is a good model for 3-4 bedroom homes, and the mental shift of a new opportunity. For more information, visit padsplit.com.

What does the future look like in the current market? We don’t have a crystal ball, but Eddie sat down with John Santilli, Chief Revenue Officer at Rehab Financial Group, to discuss how he is feeling about the current marketplace, how it will affect the private lending industry and what we could see from the private lending industry. We haven’t seen housing diminish much and it’s a difficult marketplace based on inventory, so they chatted about if John thinks that’s the driver of what’s making things the way they are, how broad he lends and with the move in the marketplace, does the private lending industry create an outlet for passive investors. Plus, Eddie asks John with the market stabilizing during an election year, interest rates going down, and the housing market increases in value, does this mean that we're in one of the biggest of curves for the build to rent space?
