- 2:51Speaker 3: gonna go through all the key details of the property.
- 2:53Speaker 3: At the end, he's gonna give us the most important
- 2:54Speaker 3: piece of information, that is the purchase price of the property,
- 2:57Speaker 3: at which point I will give a potential down payment
- 2:58Speaker 3: that the bar may make, and then Gusty and John
- 3:01Speaker 3: will be able to guess the thirty year fixed principal
- 3:03Speaker 3: interest monthly.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Hey, John mounts our executive producer. That has a good
- 3:08Speaker 2: ring tone, doesn't it?
- 3:09Speaker 1: I guess it does? It could also? I mean it's
- 3:11Speaker 1: a it's a fancy word for saying button pusher. That's
- 3:13Speaker 1: more my job.
- 3:15Speaker 3: I saw something last week on social media and I
- 3:17Speaker 3: not to get to sidetrack, but it had something with
- 3:19Speaker 3: weird Al on it, and I thought of John.

- 3:28Speaker 1: not going that far out.
- 3:29Speaker 4: I'm not. I don't have that kind of green. But

- 3:34Speaker 2: I think all right, Yeah, we know that you are
- 3:37Speaker 2: aware weird Al Yankovic fan, and and I think iHeart
- 3:42Speaker 2: needs to do something about getting you to hang out
- 3:44Speaker 2: with them.
- 3:45Speaker 1: They probably could do that if they. I'm thinking weird
- 3:47Speaker 1: Aw needs to come in the studio. I would like
- 3:49Speaker 1: if we can make that happen. All right, I'm.
- 3:54Speaker 2: With all my with all my heart powers, We're going
- 4:00Speaker 2: to figure something out.
- 4:01Speaker 3: Such a side track, I'd put his nail, but I
- 4:03Speaker 3: couldn't help it.
- 4:03Speaker 2: You have no idea that your number one fan is
- 4:06Speaker 2: in Birmingham, Alabama and works for Iheartray and.
- 4:09Speaker 3: He's interviewed you.
- 4:10Speaker 4: I've interviewed him. Yeah, I told him I was his
- 4:12Speaker 4: number one. But probably a lot of people say that.
- 4:14Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:14Speaker 3: Yeah, Anyways, are there a lot of people.
- 4:17Speaker 2: There are a lot of If we could only get
- 4:19Speaker 2: Weird now to play this game when he's in town,
- 4:22Speaker 2: it would be epic. That would be pretty cool. That
- 4:24Speaker 2: would be pretty cool. All right, hey, we've got our
- 4:28Speaker 2: first new listing of the week. This is in the
- 4:32Speaker 2: East Lake area. So uh, this is a three bedroom,
- 4:35Speaker 2: one bath house thirteen hundred and sixty five square feet,
- 4:38Speaker 2: built in nineteen fifty three. This could be your first home.
- 4:41Speaker 2: This could be an investment property. And for fifty five
- 4:44Speaker 2: thousand dollars, Oh my goodness, you could actually buy a house.
- 4:49Speaker 2: Holy only fifty five thousand. This is seventy eight twenty
- 4:53Speaker 2: seven Rugby Avenue and East Lake And there we go
- 4:58Speaker 2: this one. This listing is courtesy of On a Green. So, Brionna,
- 5:00Speaker 2: congratulations on your new listing.
- 5:02Speaker 3: May have some money to send that one too. Three
- 5:04Speaker 3: per let's do three percent down on that one. Three
- 5:06Speaker 3: percent down for a first time home buy or buy
- 5:08Speaker 3: fifty five thousand. We had somebody called this week looking
- 5:11Speaker 3: to pre pre approved to buy six something for their
- 5:13Speaker 3: family for sixty thousand dollars. So three percent down.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Three percent down.
- 5:19Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I'm going to go with the three
- 5:27Speaker 2: hundred and fifty nine dollars.
- 5:34Speaker 4: It's pretty dialed in. It's like a car payment. But
- 5:36Speaker 4: you know for thirty years.
- 5:38Speaker 3: They can't find a car for me.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, really are there cars for fifty five?
- 5:43Speaker 3: You can't get thirty year financing on them. But that's
- 5:46Speaker 3: the big difference.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Ah.
- 5:48Speaker 4: So yeah, it's probably about the right neighborhood. But I'm
- 5:51Speaker 4: going to say.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Three hundred and eighty.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Three eighty just want to hear the wrong direction. They
- 5:58Speaker 3: actually played four dollars close three twenty four forty twenty four.
- 6:03Speaker 1: I mean, think about that being able.
- 6:06Speaker 2: I know, like if you're an investor, you put like
- 6:08Speaker 2: twenty percent down, but I mean it might be hard
- 6:11Speaker 2: to have it. Like typically you've got some like minimum
- 6:13Speaker 2: loan amounts right right right right.
- 6:15Speaker 3: For investors, it gets a little different set there. And
- 6:18Speaker 3: so like again though, I mean, if you're like you,
- 6:19Speaker 3: like again, I mean, I talked to a lady on
- 6:21Speaker 3: Tuesday last week, and she's looking she needs a two bedroom,
- 6:24Speaker 3: one bath around sixty to sixty five thousand or less.
- 6:27Speaker 3: And I mean, and so you are looking at that
- 6:29Speaker 3: and you do taxes and insurance restaurs on there, and
- 6:32Speaker 3: you know, maybe it's a little bit of mortgage insurance
- 6:33Speaker 3: because you're putting three percent down, but I mean you're
- 6:35Speaker 3: still talking about a payment hunder five hundred dollars.
- 6:37Speaker 1: There you go, There you go. Hey we WI.
- 6:40Speaker 2: Our next new listing is in Birmingham, nineteen twenty four
- 6:44Speaker 2: Clover Drive. This is in the Huntington Hills neighborhood someone
- 6:48Speaker 2: was built for built in nineteen ninety two, three bedrooms,
- 6:51Speaker 2: two baths, one thousand, seventy eight square feet. We are
- 6:54Speaker 2: asking one hundred and thirty thousand dollars. One hundred and
- 6:58Speaker 2: thirty thousand dollars. Uh, that one's gonna be kind of
- 7:01Speaker 2: hard to beat too to find a three to two
- 7:03Speaker 2: for that price range.
- 7:04Speaker 1: And so yeah, what we got.
- 7:07Speaker 3: Five percent down? John? One third? We're gonna put five
- 7:10Speaker 3: percent down to you first.

- 7:36Speaker 3: Eight ten from John. No ready, then okay, Gusty, it's
- 7:40Speaker 3: on you.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I think he's pretty close. I'm gonna go with eight fifty.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Oh and he went a little the wrong direction. The
- 7:54Speaker 3: actual payment was seven fifty. John gets round two. It's
- 7:57Speaker 3: one to one. It's all tied up. How would like
- 8:02Speaker 3: to start off the new year? They're scared to go low,
- 8:04Speaker 3: you're scared to be go under.

- 8:33Speaker 2: room to make a fourth bedroom, a den, whatever you'd like.
- 8:37Speaker 2: It's got a great backyard. It's got a huge deck
- 8:40Speaker 2: with a screen porch, and it backs up in Silver Lakes.
- 8:42Speaker 2: They've got this this nature trail and literally you can
- 8:46Speaker 2: just jump right onto that nature trail in your backyard.
- 8:49Speaker 2: We're asking three nine nine nine, and uh, I don't
- 8:53Speaker 2: know if I said how many square square feet? Two
- 8:55Speaker 2: thousand and eighty four square feet on the main level.
- 8:58Speaker 2: It is zoned for the Macatory School District. All right,
- 9:02Speaker 2: twenty six fifty six p Mont Drive.
- 9:04Speaker 3: Let's go three ninety nine nine, back to Gusty three
- 9:07Speaker 3: ninety nine nine, putting ten percent down.
- 9:09Speaker 2: And this one, this one, by the way, is also
- 9:11Speaker 2: coming soon. We'll be on the market next week, or well,
- 9:14Speaker 2: I should say this coming week. Yeah, ten percent down,
- 9:18Speaker 2: ten percent down, okay, ten percent down.
- 9:25Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with twenty three hundred dollars twenty three
- 9:30Speaker 1: hundred for Gusty.
- 9:33Speaker 4: I was setting closer to I was gonna go twenty five,
- 9:38Speaker 4: but it feels too high.
- 9:39Speaker 1: All right, twenty four twenty four hundred.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Still too high. Actual payment was two thousand, one hundred
- 9:44Speaker 3: and eighty seven dollars. Gusty gets round two three two
- 9:48Speaker 3: to one, Gusty two to one. Gusty going to the
- 9:50Speaker 3: final profit.
- 9:51Speaker 2: Right, all right, our next, Yeah, sorry, I got a
- 9:56Speaker 2: text message. All right, next, new listing. This one actually
- 10:01Speaker 2: it's not a new lesson. It's coming soon. We got
- 10:03Speaker 2: a bunch, as you can tell, we got a bunch
- 10:05Speaker 2: coming up next week, going on the market. And this
- 10:09Speaker 2: one is super cool. It is a condo on sixteenth
- 10:13Speaker 2: Avenue South, twenty two oh five sixteenth Avenue South, number D.
- 10:17Speaker 2: But if you're on Red Mountain Expressway and you're coming
- 10:20Speaker 2: from downtown and you're going into like Homewood or about
- 10:24Speaker 2: to get onto two eighty, and if you look on
- 10:27Speaker 2: the left side past the old the Cerrodium Permit Attorney building,
- 10:34Speaker 2: and you know, you got thet we're talking about. It's
- 10:37Speaker 2: these white, modern like buildings on the left side, and
- 10:42Speaker 2: there's there's a there's one there's a house in the back,
- 10:45Speaker 2: and then on another parcel there's like four I believe
- 10:49Speaker 2: it's four units, and this is one of the units.
- 10:52Speaker 2: So it's super cool. Two bedrooms and two and a
- 10:55Speaker 2: half baths, two thousand, one hundred and fourteen square feet.
- 10:59Speaker 2: These were built in twenty nineteen. An incredible view. Five
- 11:04Speaker 2: ninety nine nine, five ninety nine nine. You do have
- 11:08Speaker 2: a condo association fee of seven hundred dollars a month there,
- 11:10Speaker 2: so that is also important for folks to know five
- 11:15Speaker 2: ninety nine.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Nine, five ninety nine. As you were describing it, I
- 11:18Speaker 3: was like, I could see it. I see it all
- 11:19Speaker 3: the time of life. Man, that would be awesome cool.
- 11:21Speaker 3: I was like, that would be an awesome place to
- 11:22Speaker 3: be able to be able to spot up in the day. Anyways,
- 11:25Speaker 3: five ninety nine to nine five nine twenty percent down, John,
- 11:29Speaker 3: twenty percent down.
- 11:31Speaker 4: It's a little lot of my usual price range. But
- 11:34Speaker 4: I'm going to say, get ready for us some wild
- 11:39Speaker 4: numbers here. So I'm going to say somewhere around thirty
- 11:45Speaker 4: thirty two hundred.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Thirty two hundred for John.
- 11:50Speaker 1: All Right, you said how much down?
- 11:52Speaker 3: Twenty twenty percent?
- 11:54Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, I'm not confidence, but that's all right. I'm
- 12:02Speaker 2: gonna get there. What did what did John say?
- 12:06Speaker 3: Thirty two?
- 12:08Speaker 4: It's either a great one or an absurd answer. I
- 12:10Speaker 4: can't tell by the look on Gusty has a great
- 12:12Speaker 4: poker face.
- 12:14Speaker 1: I'm gonna I think. I think it's thirty two hundreds
- 12:18Speaker 1: pretty good. I feel like I.
- 12:20Speaker 2: Need to go high, but it sounds like we've been
- 12:26Speaker 2: high the whole time, so I need to go low.
- 12:28Speaker 2: Thirty one hundred.
- 12:29Speaker 3: The actual payment was twenty nine hundred and sixteen dollars
- 12:32Speaker 3: the adjustment.
- 12:33Speaker 4: I was wondering if if you're going to break the trend,
- 12:38Speaker 4: so we're saying rates have come down.
- 12:40Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't play this game, but the factor we
- 12:43Speaker 3: used today was about was it six point one two
- 12:45Speaker 3: five percent?
- 12:46Speaker 1: Let's go, let's go, John.
- 12:47Speaker 3: I'm saying that's for everybody, but that was a good
- 12:50Speaker 3: starter point for us to do for the game.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Well, chalk one up for the good guys this.
- 12:55Speaker 4: Uh yeah, so I'm the bad guy, Well yeah, Darth,
- 12:58Speaker 4: Yeah for sure.

- 15:20Speaker 2: your home homes And Riley, congratulations on another.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Five star review.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Well, we're since we've gotten a bunch of five star
- 15:31Speaker 2: we're gonna spread these out over the next We need
- 15:34Speaker 2: a couple that's right, That's right, all right, Hey, y'all,
- 15:37Speaker 2: stay tuned. We're gonna talk about what we're seeing in
- 15:39Speaker 2: the market with all the world craziness right here on
- 15:43Speaker 2: Bob barn and Sold. Stay tuned, all right, Welcome back
- 15:47Speaker 2: to Bob barn and Sold. And you know, we've we've
- 15:50Speaker 2: had obviously a bunch of headlines over the last couple
- 15:54Speaker 2: of weeks with you know, Venezuela, and we'll talk about
- 15:59Speaker 2: that the minute. But one of the things that we
- 16:02Speaker 2: saw this week was a post on I think truth
- 16:05Speaker 2: Social that Trump came out and talking about national investment
- 16:11Speaker 2: companies and how many rental homes that those investors own,
- 16:16Speaker 2: right and basically they are working over the next couple
- 16:20Speaker 2: of weeks and are going to make an announcement. I
- 16:22Speaker 2: guess is he is wanting to, in essence, make sure
- 16:27Speaker 2: that those investors stop buying houses so that there are
- 16:33Speaker 2: more opportunities for say, first time home buyers right there.
- 16:37Speaker 2: And so, you know, this has been interesting to use.
- 16:40Speaker 3: It's been great, it's it's been cool to see, and
- 16:43Speaker 3: there's some obviously, like anything, you got some give and
- 16:46Speaker 3: take on it.
- 16:47Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say I'll kind of give a little
- 16:50Speaker 2: bit of a history. I feel like, so you know,
- 16:53Speaker 2: when when we had the recession, there was a something
- 16:56Speaker 2: called a Neighborhood Stabilization Project grant, who I I one
- 17:00Speaker 2: of the reasons that put me on the map locally,
- 17:04Speaker 2: that a grant that was able to allow nonprofits to
- 17:08Speaker 2: buy homes and then keep them as rentals for whatever
- 17:11Speaker 2: their needs were. And if some of y'all might have
- 17:15Speaker 2: heard of Glenwood as an autism and behavioral disorder center
- 17:18Speaker 2: that's behind Liberty Park. My wife was on the junior
- 17:20Speaker 2: board and through that project, Glenwood was allocated six homes.
- 17:25Speaker 2: I was able to help get through that. Glen Wood
- 17:29Speaker 2: was like, hey, we need your help, and I was able.
- 17:32Speaker 2: They put me in touch with the actual buyer that
- 17:34Speaker 2: had the grant, and we were able to get glen
- 17:37Speaker 2: Wood like sixteen houses. And this was all back in
- 17:40Speaker 2: Liker twenty ten. A lot of work in two thousand
- 17:43Speaker 2: and nine. But through that process, because the pricing of
- 17:48Speaker 2: houses were so low, you know, not only did nonprofits
- 17:52Speaker 2: buy homes, well, investors came out of the woodworks. Funds
- 17:56Speaker 2: were created. I mean there's I would say probably maybe
- 18:04Speaker 2: ten to twenty big funds or national investors that literally
- 18:09Speaker 2: have they probably own ten to twelve percent maybe more
- 18:13Speaker 2: of the housing that's out there. That might be a
- 18:16Speaker 2: little aggressive, that might be high. I don't know exactly,
- 18:19Speaker 2: but they what they really did was they removed a
- 18:24Speaker 2: lot of the homes that would be geared for first
- 18:26Speaker 2: time home buyers and they bought those houses and a
- 18:31Speaker 2: lot of the first time home buyers or you know,
- 18:33Speaker 2: maybe the empty nesters looking to scale down, those houses
- 18:37Speaker 2: are just not available. And so over a ten year
- 18:40Speaker 2: period or more, we saw prices of houses just skyrocket.
- 18:46Speaker 2: And a lot of it, again is supply and demand.
- 18:48Speaker 2: And so if you've got investors that are you know,
- 18:51Speaker 2: eating up all this supply, well, guess what happens.
- 18:53Speaker 1: Price is going to go up.
- 18:54Speaker 3: Price is going to go up.
- 18:55Speaker 2: So we've been impacted by these national funds that own
- 19:00Speaker 2: all of these rental houses. And you know, one of
- 19:02Speaker 2: the things I've mentioned is like, hey, you know, in
- 19:05Speaker 2: the future, if this continues, like we might be an
- 19:09Speaker 2: economy of just you just went and so, you know,
- 19:13Speaker 2: I've told friends of mine, like, hey, if you want
- 19:17Speaker 2: your kids to own real estate, it would be smart
- 19:20Speaker 2: for you to go ahead and buy a piece of property,
- 19:23Speaker 2: buy a rental house for each one of your kids.
- 19:26Speaker 2: And then whenever they're at the age of wanting to
- 19:29Speaker 2: buy their home, maybe you sell that and it's either
- 19:32Speaker 2: that's their down payment or you've got revenue to come
- 19:35Speaker 2: in that maybe that's going towards their their college or
- 19:39Speaker 2: school or things like that. And so this has been
- 19:41Speaker 2: a huge impact over the last fifteen years of we
- 19:45Speaker 2: call them institutional investors. And so what do you from
- 19:50Speaker 2: the mortgage side of things, like, I'd love to hear
- 19:52Speaker 2: your thoughts on it.
- 19:53Speaker 3: Well, I think it's a net positive, you know. I mean,
- 19:58Speaker 3: we love to see houses appreciating, right, and and then
- 20:01Speaker 3: that's that's good for for people. So that that's the
- 20:04Speaker 3: that's the you know, So the more buyer and power
- 20:06Speaker 3: people have, but if you can ever win the deal,
- 20:09Speaker 3: what does that appreciation matter? And so the biggest thing
- 20:12Speaker 3: that these these real large and this is where I
- 20:15Speaker 3: was good, this is why I was kind of just
- 20:16Speaker 3: checked up a minute ago, is like kind of the
- 20:18Speaker 3: numbers we're seen as like as far as the largest
- 20:20Speaker 3: funds and investors and so, and I don't even know
- 20:23Speaker 3: what they've defined is what that that size would be
- 20:27Speaker 3: is about one to three percent. It is about three
- 20:29Speaker 3: percent of the total home of that true top tier.
- 20:33Speaker 3: But then that next tier still does a big chunk too,
- 20:35Speaker 3: So like I'm not sure which tiers Trump's gonna start
- 20:37Speaker 3: carving back up as far.
- 20:38Speaker 2: As and so they're gonna have to figure out what
- 20:41Speaker 2: are the qualifications of when the targemus.
- 20:44Speaker 1: And then also like they've got multiple LLCs.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Well you can't be them either. So that's the deal
- 20:48Speaker 3: they're coming in. They've got cash, they can keep going up.
- 20:51Speaker 3: So like if if you're let's use one of these houses,
- 20:53Speaker 3: for example, if you if you wanted to buy that
- 20:54Speaker 3: fifty five thousand our house and one of these companies
- 20:57Speaker 3: came in and said, we're gonna give you fifty six cash,
- 20:59Speaker 3: and you said, but this is perfect for us. We
- 21:00Speaker 3: want to go to sixty they can come back, say
- 21:02Speaker 3: sixty two five cash, and they know they're going to
- 21:04Speaker 3: try to buy two or three more on that street
- 21:06Speaker 3: as well, and so they're gonna they can make the
- 21:09Speaker 3: pricing work for them because they can keep going up
- 21:11Speaker 3: and pay the same for the next ones. And it
- 21:12Speaker 3: all they all the comps are there, and again it
- 21:15Speaker 3: takes people away from affordable housing. And we really see
- 21:17Speaker 3: it in a lot of the bigger markets. So like
- 21:20Speaker 3: you know, you know, like that that's some of the
- 21:22Speaker 3: stuff that in New York's going through right now and
- 21:24Speaker 3: some of the housing and situations they've got going on,
- 21:26Speaker 3: and some of the bigger markets. But we definitely have
- 21:29Speaker 3: seen it here of the last few years because Birmingham
- 21:31Speaker 3: is such a good entry point for investors, for investors and.
- 21:34Speaker 1: The reason lines the main reason why low property to low.
- 21:38Speaker 3: Property taxes and so and we've seen it from individuals
- 21:41Speaker 3: and big companies. And the other thing you're ting about,
- 21:43Speaker 3: you have multiple LC's. You also don't know who all
- 21:46Speaker 3: are made who what people are made up in all
- 21:48Speaker 3: these funds. So that's when all of a sudden you
- 21:50Speaker 3: turn around, you start doing some digging, and you go, well,
- 21:52Speaker 3: how does China own all of this property and all
- 21:55Speaker 3: these acres and all these homes in America? Well, they were,
- 21:57Speaker 3: they were part of the funds and some of these
- 21:59Speaker 3: funds and big investors and stuff. And that's so like
- 22:01Speaker 3: they're it's making it. It makes it harder for you
- 22:05Speaker 3: listening and for us to go out into the market
- 22:08Speaker 3: and buy homes that that that worked for us, or
- 22:11Speaker 3: to buy investment properties within your community so you can
- 22:13Speaker 3: go check on them and see them and make sure
- 22:15Speaker 3: that everything's behind it. And so I mean, I think
- 22:17Speaker 3: it's exciting legislation. Potentially we'll see what how we said,
- 22:22Speaker 3: we see what the guard lots to unfold and what
- 22:24Speaker 3: the what the guardrails are and kind of what that
- 22:26Speaker 3: threshold is. But but again I think it's I think
- 22:31Speaker 3: it's a net positive for for for for everybody as
- 22:34Speaker 3: as individuals.
- 22:35Speaker 1: I had.
- 22:35Speaker 2: I had a buddy of mine reach out to me
- 22:37Speaker 2: and was like, they need to sell all their real estate, Like, hey,
- 22:43Speaker 2: if they can't buy anymore, they need to sell it all.
- 22:45Speaker 2: And I'm like, you can't do that because then again,
- 22:48Speaker 2: it's a supply inventory and you'll see prices go down
- 22:53Speaker 2: and you don't want that.
- 22:54Speaker 3: Either, don't want it to dump in the market.
- 22:55Speaker 2: So I mean naturally, like we we represent like one
- 22:58Speaker 2: of the funds, I mean we we send a opportun
- 23:00Speaker 2: is one two of the funds, and they naturally have
- 23:03Speaker 2: to sell properties off because they have to hit IRR
- 23:06Speaker 2: for their different funds. And so if they don't have
- 23:10Speaker 2: some of their returns, like they've got to sell some
- 23:12Speaker 2: properties to use and use that cash as from the
- 23:16Speaker 2: equity standpoint to help make their their returns look better
- 23:19Speaker 2: for their investors.
- 23:20Speaker 1: So there's naturally they're gonna come back.
- 23:22Speaker 2: But obviously they've they've made a lot of money, yeah,
- 23:24Speaker 2: I mean ultimately.
- 23:25Speaker 3: And they'll figure out how to get it, but it's
- 23:27Speaker 3: gonna make it harder for them.
- 23:28Speaker 2: To do it. All right, go to gustygilscriup dot com
