In the podcast, Emeka discusses the current state of real estate investing, highlighting a shift from the booming market of 2020, when low interest rates fueled widespread buying and flipping, to a more challenging environment in 2025, marked by fear and caution among investors. Rising interest rates, elevated construction costs due to tariffs, and a record-high inventory of unsold homes have made affordability a significant issue, pushing the median age of first-time homebuyers to 38. This has created a renter's market, particularly benefiting C-class multifamily units in Central Florida, where Emeka owns properties, as more people are forced to rent due to unaffordable home prices. Despite the tough market, Emeka emphasizes that strategic operations, cost management, and a focus on cash flow can still yield profits, urging investors to adapt to the current "down cycle" rather than shy away from real estate. He remains optimistic about the long-term value of American real estate, encouraging investors to trust the process, learn from successful peers, and stay resilient to navigate the challenging market conditions.Connect with Emeka Ogbonna:Donate to cure Type 1 Diabetes: https://www2.breakthrought1d.org/site/Donation2?idb=618632020&df_id=24538&FR_ID=10176&mfc_pref=T&PROXY_ID=13772239&PROXY_TYPE=20&24538.donation=form1Website: Gobonnaequity.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/stayreadyrealestate/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emeka-ogbonna-481379164/YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIeAZ-rMMFqhE44gu23a0Tqo7a5xqemQD&si=81iIqKvKfCl05ktMSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7C5pv7sUSF0qEcotOmdElmX: https://twitter.com/EmekarOgbonna
