1289 - Foreclosures Are Rising Quickly, and CRE Delinquencies Are Exploding—What’s Going On? By Jeff Vasishta

Home foreclosures are on the rise. Is this the start of a housing collapse and the buying bonanza for real estate investors touted for the last two years, or a mere blip? 
Foreclosure rates have steadily risen since interest rates increased in conjunction with the home affordability crisis. According to Redfin, only 15.5% of U.S. home listings were accessible financially to U.S. households in 2023. This has led to an 8% increase in foreclosure filings, according to a new report by data company ATTOM.

105: The MOST Profitable Skill to Learn (From a $200M+ VC Investor) with Codie Sanchez

Successful business owners are addicted to building businesses, sometimes to their folly. For someone like Codie Sanchez, this isn’t a problem, but a superpower. Codie is a journalist, a venture capital partner, an angel investor, and an entrepreneur. She loves, as she puts it, “building herself out of a job”, which means creating businesses with huge potential, getting a team in place, and heading on to better things.
Now, managing many millions of dollars, she has to look into which businesses are worth capital investments.
