  Episode 198: The Truth About the 183% Eagle Mountain Tax Hike (and Meta’s Tax Break)

  Aug 27, 202623 minS2

  The economy dropped 23,000 jobs, CPI inflation is cooling, and yet talk of interest rate hikes is still on the table. Welcome to the 2026 economic landscape! In this episode of the Loans Elevated Podcast, Broch and TJ sit down to analyze the disconnect between broad macroeconomic headlines and what is actually happening on the ground in local real estate markets. They react to a viral local story out of Eagle Mountain, Utah—where property taxes jumped 183% after a 16-year freeze—and address the controversy surrounding Meta’s 20-year tax incentive. They also examine how a hidden gig economy is throwing off traditional job reporting, why smart agents are turning to Reddit to fix overpriced listings and get 4+ offers overnight, and why non-QM programs (like bank statement and 1099 loans) are surging from 1-in-20 to 1-in-10 deals nationwide. What We Cover in This Episode: Macro Economics vs. Local Real Estate: Job losses, inflation data, and why the Fed isn't making explicit forward statements anymore. The Gig Economy Factor: How secondary income streams and drop-shipping firefighters are distorting economic data. Eagle Mountain Tax Hike Reaction: Breaking down the 183% tax increase, municipal management, and Meta's data center tax break. Salt Lake County vs. Eagle Mountain: Comparing 16-year property tax increases across local micro-markets. The Reddit Pricing Experiment: How setting ego aside and crowd-sourcing listing feedback triggers instant multiple offers. The Non-QM Surge: Why 1-in-10 home purchases are now using out-of-the-box financing like bank statement loans. ️ Real Estate Agents – Live Masterclass: Join us on September 24th at Hale Centre Theatre in Sandy for "The Buyers You're Not Helping" with national expert Pete Fickeisen.

  Episode 197: Is It Really a Buyer's Market? (The Real Estate Reality Check)

  Aug 20, 202620 minS2

  National headlines are screaming that we’re in the best buyer’s market in over a decade—so why are so many homebuyers feeling defeated? In this episode of the Loans Elevated podcast, presented by The Lassig Team, we dive into the split between media noise and the real estate reality on the front lines. We start off with a few hilarious Reddit reactions—including why buyers need to shop for long-term financing strategy over interest rates, plus a wild horror story about showing a tenant-occupied house. Then, we break down current 30-year fixed rate volatility, labor data deception, and upcoming CPI inflation metrics. Finally, we unpack why hyper-local micro-markets matter, what real buyer leverage looks like (concessions, rate buydowns, and repair terms), and how out-of-the-box options like renovation loans allow you to create your own inventory. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Headlines vs. Buyer Sentiment: Why national real estate data is just noise and how local micro-markets actually function. Shopping Strategy Over Interest Rates: Why focusing on loan strategy, source of funds, and proper pre-approval beats chasing temporary rate drops. True Buyer Leverage: How to negotiate seller-paid closing costs, rate buydowns, appraisal contingencies, and repair requests. Unlocking Hidden Inventory: How tools like renovation loans and non-QM options help you buy homes with potential instead of waiting for "perfect". Reddit Reactions & Market Updates: Real-world showing nightmares, CPI predictions, and golden handcuffs keeping inventory tight.
