Описание: This clip from episode 15 breaks down what the real estate market actually feels like after the chaos of the Covid boom and why many investors are struggling to navigate a market that seems stuck between momentum and hesitation. From shifting buyer behavior and seller expectations to the reality behind interest rate speculation, this conversation explores how today’s environment is reshaping strategy for investors using approaches like BRRR.
