Nine 2023 predictions that will probably make you mad:

1. The bottom falls out of the RE market this Spring when a flood of listings are met with no demand and a soft rental market driven by Q1 layoffs. Investor foreclosures pile up by Q4.
2. DeSantis' presidential candidacy runs into a brick wall when he's forced to engage directly with Trump and he's Hulk smashed and out of the race before lowa.

Dems start positioning Buttigieg to replace Biden in 2024.
3. The price of Bitcoin falls to less than $5,000 as the speculative cheap-money driven buyers completely evaporate leaving only the true believers. More prominent crypto exchanges blow up.

Economists are calling it "The Great Wealth Transfer."

A quick guide to what's happening and how you can benefit:
1 - The Baby Boomers

The group of Americans born between 1946 and 1964 are known as the "Baby Boomers."

Named for the Mid-20th century "Baby Boom" that occurred following World War II and ended with the "Baby Bust" of the 1960s.
2 - Their Accumulation of Wealth

The Baby Boomers are the wealthiest generation in history.

And they were aided by a few key factors, including:
· a strong economy and job market, and
· rising property values and growth of the housing market

Buddy of mine is a successful realtor who sells $750k to $2.5 million houses.

He drives a car worth roughly one year’s commissions, which looks completely ridiculous in his driveway.

He claims it’s necessary.

Does a realtor need to drive a high-end car for you to hire them?
How do business brokers think about this?

@ClintFiore @EdMyso @GoodsCapital
I wonder if any of these guys have a view @JoshFlagg1 @RyanSerhant @chadrogerstv
