305: How To Survive A Horrific Economic Contraction with Anna Myers

GDP fell 33% annually, the unemployment rate is high, and even the Tokyo Olympics have been postponed, all pandemic-driven.

Housing continues to hold up well. Nearly all assets are – gold, stocks, crypto, and some commodities. This is partly due to a weaker dollar.

The gap between “haves” and “have nots” widens in the pandemic.

15-year mortgage rates fell below 2%.

VP of Grocapitus, Anna Myers joins us to discuss real estate trends, market analysis, and where to invest for economic survival.

Neither she nor I see a “V-shaped recovery”. I’ve been saying this for five months.

Anna & I discuss real estate’s winners and losers in the pandemic.

With more people having shakier job situations, fewer qualify for loans. This increases the renter pool.

Winners: smaller cities, suburbs, e-commerce, tech, warehouses, places like Salt Lake City, Raleigh-Durham, Memphis

Losers: high density places, hospitality, medical, oil, long-term college.
