What if every purchase you make suddenly cost more, from your morning coffee to your family car? That’s the potential reality as we scrutinize President Trump's intention to impose tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada, and China. This move threatens to inflate prices across the board in the U.S. economy, affecting everyday expenses and potentially upending industries. With 83% of Mexico's and 75% of Canada's exports destined for the U.S., these tariffs could create profound disruptions. We break down these economic maneuvers and explore how they might address broader issues like immigration, drug trafficking, and trade imbalances. But is the financial strain of these measures justified by their possible benefits?

As retaliation looms from Mexico, Canada seeks negotiation, and China warns of the perils of a trade war, the stakes reach an all-time high. Entrepreneurs, investors, and anyone mindful of their financial health will find this episode crucial as it uncovers how these global policies might affect your bottom line. Join us for a compelling examination of whether the temporary economic strain is worth the potential long-term rewards. Prepare to engage, question, and weigh in on whether the disruption is a necessary step toward a more balanced global economy.

Discover the secrets behind a 12.1% surge in U.S. pending home sales and what it means for your financial strategy. Has the post-election boom truly revitalized the housing market, or is this just a seasonal illusion? Join me, Martin Perdomo, on Wealthy AF as we dissect the current market dynamics, from the flood of mortgage applications to early indicators of a potential slowdown. As mortgage rates dip to 6.95%, we explore whether these trends hint at a lasting recovery or are simply an ephemeral uptick. Prepare yourself with the insights you need to make strategic decisions in this ever-evolving landscape.

Switching gears to the multifamily real estate sector, we dive into the $11 billion apartment sales boom in October and what’s fueling institutional confidence. Despite a slight dip in prices, cities like Boston and Washington D.C. showcase robust sales volumes and low vacancy rates, promising long-term rent growth potential. However, my personal observations in Pennsylvania and Tampa reveal a different story, with rising vacancies and slower rental turnover. Tune in to understand these regional disparities and learn how to navigate the complexities of the multifamily market to stay ahead in these transformative times.

What if the media you trust is nurturing a bias you can't see? Join us as seasoned journalist and National Association of Journalists board member, Jasmine Styles, uncovers the evolving landscape of journalism. Listen in as Jasmine sheds light on the waning trust in mainstream media, the rise of platforms like YouTube, and the essential role of journalists in delivering unbiased facts. Together, we navigate the complexities of personal biases in reporting and explore how journalists can cultivate a relatable connection with their audience.

Accountability in journalism isn't just a buzzword—it's necessary to combat misinformation and propaganda. Our conversation with Jasmine delves into the shifting regulations and governmental influences that have shaped media reporting, highlighting the importance of media consumers in holding outlets accountable. Through case studies, like the notorious Fox News settlement, we examine the real-world impact of media-driven narratives and stress the power of critical thinking. We also tackle the ripple effects of political changes on industries and the economy, particularly emphasizing the pivotal role of immigrants.

Civil discourse and political responsibility are not optional but imperative for progress. This episode critiques the current political scene where sensationalism often overshadows substance, urging listeners to seek credible sources and engage with diverse perspectives. Jasmine shares insights on the performative nature of political disagreements and the importance of understanding legislative processes. As we wrap up, Jasmine invites listeners to connect with her on social media. She offers a humorous nod to her preference for "Twitter" over "X," and extends an open invitation for a future meetup.

I learned the hard way back in 2007 that the key to smart real estate investment is timing the market right. My first investment property plunged me $100,000 underwater within two years, a fiscal fumble that could've been avoided with a better grasp of the real estate market cycle. Now, I'm here to save you from the same fate, unpacking the intricacies of the four phases—recovery, expansion, hyper supply, and recession—so you can make moves that make cents.

We navigate the hopeful resurgence of the recovery stage, the fever-pitch frenzy of the expansion phase – reminiscent of the 2021 bidding wars – and move towards the critical hyper supply stage, where the balance between homes and buyers teeters precariously. I also light the way through the murk of impending recessions, pointing out the harbingers of economic downturns, like job loss spikes. So, tune in for an episode that's less about a crystal ball and more about giving you the clairvoyance to make confident and informed decisions in the mystifying world of real estate.
