It's worse than what it seems. That sale was the lender buying it back for 12M (Pinnacle Bank Texas). So in other words there were no bidders.

[@Reppondinvestments]

Point well made

[@markphillips9822]

Imagine all of the 401ks going up in smoke because they are heavily invested in these Commercial real estate buildings 😮

[@mrnobody1816]

Sir, I have now watched a grand total of two of your videos. All I can say is thank you for posting your insights and wisdom. You've made a fan of me.

[@Reppondinvestments]

Thank you for your kind words

[@Spaniard47]

So glad I found this channel. Love your coverage.

[@jgboys1]

Talk about bad timing! They bought this building during COVID! This is just the beginning! Wait until all these leases start expiring on all these office buildings in our big cities! Lucky they get 20 cents on the dollar.

[@brucewalker2027]

Melt-up followed by melt down. Sounds about right to me, certainly fits with the observable trends in the markets. The Las Vegas Review Journal, still prints the market listings in their paper. If you scan down the P/E column in the listings, it's amazing how many companies don't have one, in other words no earnings. The market is grossly overvalued already, but that doesn't mean it can't go much higher before the day of reckoning arrives for the markets as a whole. Buy gold. It won't matter how much you paid when the time comes, all that will matter will be that you got in.

[@haldriver1378]

Shiller PE, Buffett ratio, mean reversion... Pick your model... They all indicate that equities are significantly overpriced. Yet, David Hunter thinks the S&P goes up another 40%? Maybe it will. But, trees don't grow to the sky. While many people have FOMO, I have FOGC (fear of getting clobbered). Still sitting in a pile of Tbills.

[@wit82]

I would like, the houses go down a least 50% from where they are now way to F. Higher. 😢

Thanks for the summary.

9 cents on the dollar ? Which dollar ? What value of the dollar ?

[@Wrong_Way_Go_Back]

Hello from Australia Thanks for your efforts Ben

[@6swaminarayan]

Thank u for your honest and hard work

[@rhammond2152]

Just an odd question....with the market in a spiral....who is to say in 2 years, the same building goes to another sale, and 50-percent of the present value disappears at that point? Even if you buy such a property....if you can't fill it or use it....where is the equity then? We are in a 1929-like scenario....just with a different landscape.

[@DSounz]

I lived right next to this building. It was mostly empty. Work from home is definitely a big factor.

[@gabit7223]

if not bonds, then what?

[@jennielam8522]

Thank you!

[@fredtownsend9065]

Good information, thank you !

[@user-vi8ry9hq8j]

Our gold reserves haven't been audited in years. Last time it was it was about 88 billion $ With a 35 trillion debt, that don't help .

[@angkorgrill4515]

Wow thanks for your wonderful advice and great show

[@Reppondinvestments]

You are welcome

[@animalblack8482]

Very good Sir thxu 👍

[@Sollicitus_civis]

Commercial and residential real estate need a reset in pricing and what gets built. Corporate speculation in the residential market has become significant. Adam's interview with Melody was very insightful, recommend people watch the full interview.

[@Heather-qe4cl]

How is your pup? Thank you as always for the valuable information.

Thank you

[@ReedMyresDavid]

I know nothing about trading /investment and l'm keen on getting started. What are some strategies to get started with?

[@jxbx9074]

How do I get one?

[@TheBivona]

Great video… I have a cabin in GA… with good views … I can only imagine what you have there .

I've been wondering', are these just corporations moving real estate around in there sub corporations, and rinsing the banks/ taxpayers😊

After you outsource the jobs what do you do with the people

Hello Ben. What do you think will happen with Bitcoin when there is a market crash? Keep it up!

TLDR real estate bubble is at least 11 times actual asset value and first mini-pops ahe here?

[@jonathantaylor6926]

Investors were making 25% on their money using 1% interest only loans. But those 1% loans are long gone and +400 basis points 100 million dollars adds up quick.

[@arctan64]

Very informative and though provoking. I have a very unique and controversial strategy but it's very good to hear the analysis in this video.

[@Reppondinvestments]

Thank you

Thanks, your audio level is a bit low

💩 Storm is coming, I hope it short, not a depression multiple years

[@eddiekulp1241]

Probably few tenants, cost to high to operate . High taxes . There are allways reasons

[@lancev7186]

When do these losses start to show up somewhere?

[@3rdrailrising640]

Doesn't a home equity loan still make sense for the better option, people aren't selling their homes, 8% eq loan sounds better then 21% cc debt.

[@Sollicitus_civis]

Ben, the current government financing using T-bills versus T-bonds would seem to tell the difficulty of the current debt market. The bond market will eventually play a larger role in Congress dealing with the debt. Neither Party will deal with it until forced by the bond market. Ask Liz Truss, how that works. As always, enjoy the show.

[@JohnSRay-en7pi]

the lender was the only bidder they had no choice

[@user-jf6yr1pq3p]

That's a greatest robbery ever.its wild West all over again

[@Wigington24]

There are hundreds counties with tax deeds for sale over the counter at 10 cents on the dollar.

[@Zt3v3]

It's going to take several years to get used to more "normal" interest rates. I'd argue they are still artificially low.

[@aaron___6014]

Thoughtful money, has always seemed like a doomsdayer. I still see an insane amount of traffic in my metro consisting of commuters, so theyre working somewhere. It was mostly dead during covid. Maybe its because they have closed or elimated lanes on a lot of roads.

[@hermestrismegistus4311]

Why did the Bank not take possession of this ???

[@sac621]

How do you barter gold? Its too heavy at thiese prices.thats why we printed paper money.... it could be clam shells for currencies... we could anything money if the receiver agrees.. so if everything crashed and there is an EMP ,we would have no electricity. Paper money seems like a good idea... if electricity goes out fold could go 50x. What would 1 ounce be worth? How could you makes change? Its too valuable. Back when we backing our currency with gold maybe it would work. But now with all this inflation.... THERE IS NOT ENOUGH GOLD IN THE WORLD....

[@oscarellis2563]

Large housing shortages and available office buildings, they should convert these office spaces into apartments simple! Do what the market demands its just a shame theres tomuch corruption in American policies runned by Wall St Gangsters

[@JohnSRay-en7pi]

i wonder what the fort worth tax assessor is going to say ?

[@theresasmith1]

At these prices new construction will dwindle. Equity loans is the worst program as this will take home ownership away from society .

[@leechongyew8807]

I can see why people are so bullish at the top. Every bloody analyst have resigned to the fact that the market can only go up. Stocks can never go down. I'm starting to believe this baloney....
