Big money on VRBO & Booking.com? Why AirDNA is wrong. Higher Housing Prices, Lower Interest Rates Coming?
Description
Myka and Stevie Stacks dig into Trump's tariff shakeup and what it means for real estate investors: new construction costs about to skyrocket, the workforce getting deported, and housing prices heading up while interest rates might drop. They predict a run on existing homes and call it a strong buy signal for anyone with cash to move now. In Arkansas, Myka just locked $89,000 in government corporate bookings across three doors in three days - two from one agency on VRBO at a 25% markup, one for $10,000 in Richardson. He also took a $10,000 hit on a plumbing repair he should have scoped during inspection, proving you can't shortcut the due diligence.
The conversation swings through VRBO versus Airbnb (older demographic, better commercials, way higher willingness to pay), why AirDNA data misses all the corporate midterm calendar blocks, and how BDC Payments finally makes Booking.com safe from chargebacks. Myka's flipping his single-families into duplexes via 1031, and both hosts have changed their tune on college: push the kids toward doctor, lawyer, or engineer first, then let them build businesses on a full stomach and a W-2 tax shield.
