Real Estate Forecast for the Next 5 Years
What does the future hold for real estate investors over the next five years? Join Karen Conrad Metcalfe and Billy Epperhart as they examine market trends, the gold-to-real-estate relationship, and the opportunities emerging for those who are prepared to think strategically and invest with wisdom.
Learn What the Real Estate Forecast for the Next 5 Years Means for Investors
Welcome to WealthBuilders TV. Today Karen Conrad Metcalfe and Billy Epperhart are discussing what the gold/real estate index is telling us.
Billy Epperhart tells us why this is a good time to start looking for real estate investment opportunities. Sellers are holding on to properties because of low interest rates, which has slowed the market, but hasn’t shut it down. He takes a look at what happens when we measure the value of real estate against gold instead of looking only at property prices in dollars. Get insight into what’s happening now and how to think strategically about the future.
Tune in today as Billy encourages you to invest in yourself, understand the market, and seek wisdom from the Bible for your finances.
