Dwelling Costs Might Have Bottomed Says New “Investor Sentiment Survey”

Dave:
Hey everybody. Welcome to On the Market. I’m your host, Dave Meyer. And at present, we’re bringing again one among our hottest visitors of all time, Rick Sharga, who’s the founder and CEO, CJ Patrick Firm. He was previously the EVP of market intelligence at ATTOM.
In the event you’ve been listening to this present otherwise you’re listening to the Larger Information part on the BiggerPockets Actual Property Present, you’ve most likely heard Rick a number of instances as a result of he’s a unimaginable analyst and is aware of the housing market pretty much as good as really anybody that I’ve ever met.
And as a part of his new firm, he and RCN Capital, it’s possible you’ll keep in mind the title of that firm as a result of we had their CEO, Tim Herriage on the opposite day, they produced a brand new survey that tracks the sentiment of actual property buyers. And these are sometimes smaller actual property buyers, retail buyers such as you and me. And I feel it’s one of many first of its type.
After I take a look at knowledge, after I take a look at surveys, it’s normally for residence patrons or it’s normally for actual property brokers and there aren’t all that many knowledge sources that focus particularly on the kind of buyers that all of us are. And so when Rick and RCN Capital put this out and talked about how buyers are feeling, what they’re doing in any such market, we needed to get Rick again on to speak about it. So we’re going to leap straight into our interview with Rick proper after this break.
Rick Sharga, welcome again to On the Market. Thanks for being right here.

Rick:
At all times a pleasure to affix you, Dave. Trying ahead to a different good dialog.

Dave:
I feel having you 3 times makes you an everyday. You’re formally one among our regulars now and I don’t suppose now we have many, so thanks. We admire you all the time coming.

Rick:
I admire that chance to be one among your regulars. It’s fairly an honor.

Dave:
I feel the final time we had you on the present was concerning the starting of the yr, and simply curious what you’ve been as much as during the last six or seven months.

Rick:
Properly, on a private word, I’ve truly began my very own firm, CJ Patrick Firm. I’m not with the info firm I used to be with after we final spoke. And I’m offering market intelligence for firms in the true property and mortgage enterprise. Presently working with 5 completely different firms in numerous components of the enterprise.
And in order that’s been conserving me fairly busy. It’s been a really hectic however finally fulfilling transition and I’m moving into areas of the market that I actually hadn’t explored that deeply earlier than. In order that’s actually been good. And naturally, I’ve been conserving my eye on the housing and industrial actual property markets, which by no means stop to fascinate and amaze.

Dave:
Superior. Properly, to begin with, congratulations on beginning your new firm. That’s an enormous milestone and achievement. And would love to only bounce proper in. You mentioned you’ve been doing a variety of analysis, trying into completely different areas of the market. What areas have been of specific curiosity to you lately?

Rick:
Properly, I’ve been trying on the personal lending trade and what’s occurring with actual property buyers, which I do know is germane to what BiggerPockets does. And it’s been an fascinating trip during the last yr or so, as these buyers have needed to recalibrate to have the ability to accommodate a lot larger financing costs than they had been for the final couple of years.
And so, one of many developments that we’ve been watching fairly intently is what number of buyers have been shifting their technique from repair and flip to purchase and maintain making an attempt to benefit from the rental market. And that’s notably vital as a result of by completely different firms’ estimates, as many as 20 to 25% of the individuals who needed to purchase a home have voted themselves off the island in the meanwhile. They’ll’t afford to purchase that home due to larger mortgage charges and are actually on the lookout for a spot to lease.
It simply stands to purpose that in the event you had been seeking to purchase a home, you’d most likely fairly lease a home than an residence if all else is equal. In order that’s been one of many largest developments we’ve been keeping track of during the last 12 months or so.

Dave:
I’m stunned to listen to that as a result of with excessive financing prices, it does really feel at the least that cashflow is harder to seek out. We’ve got visitors on the present on a regular basis who’re flipping or doing value-add tasks and so they appear to be doing fairly nicely proper now. However then however, I noticed this report from Redfin the opposite day that mentioned that there’s these enormous quantities of flippers who’re shedding cash. So I’m simply curious in the event you might shed some perception on that juxtaposition.

Rick:
Yeah, the individuals which are shedding cash aren’t anxious to go in your present and brag about it.

Dave:
Okay, these are those who preserve declining us.

Rick:
Yeah. However, nicely, yeah, there’s some trade knowledge that helps what you’re listening to in each instructions actually. On the repair and flip facet, the corporate I used to work for, ATTOM Knowledge, put out their Q1 outcomes, so flipping by means of March, and there have been about 70,000 flips throughout the nation in March. That’s the bottom quantity we’ve seen in over two years, and it’s the fourth consecutive quarter the place there have been fewer flips than the quarter earlier than. In order that’s a fairly vital … And we’re speaking about flipping exercise that’s most likely down by 40, 45,000 flips 1 / 4 throughout that time frame.
The opposite factor that ATTOM’s been reporting on is that the gross margins for flipping have been coming down over these earlier quarters. Now after I discuss gross margins, it’s what you paid for the property versus what you offered the property for. That doesn’t embody your prices. So what had been your restore prices? What had been your labor prices, your insurance coverage, your tax, your different holding prices? And most significantly, what had been your financing prices for that time frame?
And I’ve talked to a variety of seasoned, very refined flippers over the previous few months. Even among the most refined, most skilled flippers have misplaced cash on particular person offers as a result of they only purchased on the flawed time on the flawed value. And the possible patrons of these flips now have a cheaper price threshold than what that they had a yr in the past as a result of their mortgage charges have doubled. So I feel there’s a little bit of a transitional interval.
That mentioned, this quarter was the primary one in a number of quarters the place we noticed gross margins begin to go up. That might be a sign together with residence costs beginning to go up somewhat bit as nicely that we would have bottomed out on the flipping market.
You elevate level on the one household rental market in that in the event you simply do the mathematics at present and also you’re financing the acquisition, it’s tougher to make that cashflow work except you’re actually, actually rigorous concerning the purchase and ensuring you’re paying the precise sum of money for that. However, in the event you’re including to an present portfolio of rental properties which are already worthwhile, the chances are high that mortgage charges, rates of interest are going to go down over the subsequent 18 to 24 months.
So in the event you may even break even on a brand new property proper now, odds are you’ll have the ability to elevate the lease over the subsequent couple of years and doubtless refinance right into a decrease month-to-month fee. So it perhaps is extra of a future alternative for a few of these rental property homeowners than it’s a right away market profitability initiative.

Dave:
That’s a very good level that for newbies, if it’s your first rental, that’s most likely not a fascinating technique to come back out of pocket and use a few of your revenue out of your job to cowl your funding. However in the event you’re incomes a 6 or 7 or 8% money on money return, perhaps higher, throughout your portfolio, perhaps you knock that down a proportion to banks a few offers. That’s an excellent piece of recommendation there.

Rick:
And in some instances, you’re capable of get a property under market that already has a tenant in place as a result of there are different buyers who’re struggling somewhat bit, candidly. And I think we’re going to see a reasonably vital variety of failed Airbnb properties coming again to market from individuals who thought they had been going to be actual property tycoons, however timed the market incorrectly after they tapped into their fairness to purchase that one short-term rental property that everyone else was shopping for.

Dave:
Properly, I do wish to get to that as a result of that’s been a really frequent matter of dialog just lately.

Rick:
I guess.

Dave:
However one of many predominant causes we needed to convey you in, apart out of your wonderful firm in fact, is that your new firm created an investor sentiment survey, I feel with a companion, RCN Capital. And I really like this as a result of it’s one factor to take a look at knowledge, which you and I clearly do, that appears at holistically what’s occurring with lease, what’s occurring with residence costs, however it’s not all the time straightforward to get knowledge from the people who find themselves on the bottom truly shopping for and promoting offers. So are you able to give us a excessive degree abstract of what you discovered?

Rick:
Yeah, and I don’t suppose any of it’ll be an enormous shock to the parents tuning in at present. Investor sentiment proper now could be that it’s a more durable market to spend money on at present than it was a yr in the past. That’s most likely not an enormous shock. Traders being optimists by nature, nearly all of them suppose issues shall be getting higher or at the least no worse than they’re at present, over the subsequent six months.
And that ties in fairly on to what we’ve actually seen because the impacts of upper financing prices pushed by the actions of the Federal Reserve. And it’s additionally indicated by what they see as the largest challenges to being a profitable investor at present. The primary most steadily cited problem was the upper price of financing at present. The second was the shortage of stock.
So once more, the stock subject is one thing we’ve most likely talked about each time I’ve been in your podcast and it’s truly gotten worse fairly than higher and can most likely proceed to worsen, as a result of 90% of mortgage holders at present have a mortgage with an rate of interest of 6% or decrease, and 70% have a mortgage fee of 4% or decrease.
And these people simply should not going to be motivated to place their properties in the marketplace till rates of interest come down fairly considerably. And that’s conserving the variety of present houses obtainable on the market at traditionally low ranges, which makes it powerful not only for shoppers, but in addition for buyers seeking to purchase and both flip or lease out these properties.

Dave:
Nice. I do wish to get again to that query of stock as a result of I’ve a selected query for you, however earlier than we do, while you speak concerning the survey and investor sentiment, individuals suppose it’s typically a worse atmosphere than it was a yr in the past. What’s the size there? Does that imply we’re going from, for each 100 buyers that had been optimistic final yr, we’re going to 50 or how dramatic is the shift?

Rick:
It was a blended bag. In the event you checked out worse or the identical because it was a yr in the past, you had been most likely near 70% between these two classes and the stability mentioned it was perhaps marginally higher or higher. So it was extra of a cut up with somewhat little bit of an edge on the more severe than it was a yr in the past.
We did see, in the event you’re searching into the long run, and that is fascinating given what we had been simply speaking about, flippers are far more optimistic going ahead than the rental property homeowners. That might be the cashflow subject you talked about. I imagine 38% of flippers count on the market to be higher in six months and 19% count on it to be worse. However, solely about 19% of rental property buyers count on the market to be higher, and about 31% count on it to be worse.
So the problem right here is that that is the primary of those surveys that RCN Capital and my firm have finished collectively, so I don’t have a variety of historic knowledge to check this to. We’ll have extra of that as we go ahead in subsequent quarters.
However yeah, I imply among the divergences between the kind of investor and the scale of investor had been fascinating. I discussed that the 2 largest challenges cited each now and 6 months from now are excessive price of financing and restricted stock. However in the event you take a look at greater buyers, buyers who purchase greater than 11 properties a yr, they’re actually involved going ahead concerning the problem they’ve in securing a loan-

Dave:
Fascinating.

Rick:
… which wasn’t the case along with your mother and pop buyers. I don’t know why that’s. It might be an indication that the regional banks, the group banks that these greater buyers work with have tightened up credit score. But it surely’s fascinating to only peel the onion somewhat bit and see what’s contained in the completely different layers of the investor group.

Dave:
I’m your survey, I simply wish to clarify to everybody that problem securing a mortgage is a distinct class than the excessive price of financing.

Rick:
It completely is.

Dave:
And I feel that’s an important distinction right here that not solely are buyers combating the upper price of financing, however even when the investor is prepared to tackle a 7 or 8% mortgage banks may not be prepared to offer that mortgage.

Rick:
Yeah, and I feel banks is the important thing phrase there. It’s fascinating too, RCN Capital is clearly a personal lender, however I’ve talked to CEOs from different personal lending firms and anecdotally, in the event you’re an investor with monitor file, most likely not that troublesome so that you can get a mortgage.
However in the event you haven’t finished this earlier than, except you’ve all the things lined up completely, it most likely is a troublesome time to get a mortgage simply due to the danger issue concerned. And that larger price of financing truly makes the danger that rather more of a difficulty from a lending perspective.

Dave:
That is sensible. Do you suppose the opposite divergence between flippers and rental properties is a proxy for residence value outlook? As a result of I might think about that some rental property buyers are wishing costs would come down as a result of it will reset that lease to cost ratio that anybody on the lookout for cashflow is hoping for, whereas flippers clearly profit from a market that’s appreciating.

Rick:
That might positively be the case, though just about throughout the board there wasn’t an enormous statistical distinction right here. A lot of the buyers count on nominal value beneficial properties over the subsequent six months. Very, only a few count on to see a value decline. And that was true whether or not they had been flippers or they had been rental property homeowners. And by the best way, from all outward appearances, it appears to be like like they could be proper.
In accordance with Nationwide Affiliation of REALTORS, we’ve had 4 consecutive months of median costs falling for present residence gross sales and positively new residence gross sales costs are off yr over yr. However June, June appears to be like prefer it could be an inflection level. And we noticed June at the least come up from Might numbers, although they had been down barely yr over yr. However final June was the excessive level by way of median costs for a house ever, and we’re solely off by 0.9% from that this June. So it does seem like costs could have bottomed out and so they’re on their method again up.

Dave:
That’s wild. At the same time as rates of interest have gone up somewhat bit, at the least in the event you regarded on the three-month rolling common or something. They’ve gone up somewhat bit into excessive 8, 7%. Yeah.

Rick:
Properly, once more, on the investor facet, 8, 9, 10, 12. On the patron facet, they’re up, however they’ve been buying and selling inside a very slender band for the previous few months, someplace between six and a half and seven%. In the event you do the mathematics on a purchase order, the distinction in your month-to-month fee between six and a half and seven%, it’s nominal. So in the event you can afford to purchase a property with a six and a half % mortgage, you possibly can most likely afford to purchase a property at seven except you had been actually proper on the margins.
I’m nonetheless of the varsity that believes that the Fed might be finished or virtually finished with its value hikes, its Fed Fund Price hikes. And as soon as that settles down, I do imagine you’ll begin to see mortgage charges come down for the stability of the yr.
However the different factor that individuals viewing this or listening to this could take note is that traditionally, each time we’ve had a reset, whether or not it’s residence costs going up or down or its rates of interest going up or down, there’s all the time a interval of adjustment. And I feel we’re seeing the adjustment going down within the housing market at present.
So we’re seeing patrons who had sticker shock six months in the past when costs doubled, when mortgage charges doubled, resetting their expectations and perhaps now bidding on a cheaper home with that larger mortgage fee.
And the opposite factor that’s occurred is, candidly, although costs are showing to stabilize, the quantity of gross sales is method off. I had forecasted at first of the yr we’d see 4.3, 4.4 million present residence gross sales. The June numbers from NAR got here in at 4.28 million for the yr. So we’re proper there, however that’s down from 5.2 million final yr and 6.2 million the yr earlier than. In order that’s the trade-off is costs seem like stabilizing, however the quantity is method off.

Dave:
Only for context, Rick, what do you suppose a traditional degree of gross sales quantity is?

Rick:
Usually for our inhabitants, we’d most likely be somewhat over 5 million, someplace between 5 and 6. That’s an incredible query, Dave. I feel individuals need to remember the fact that 2021 was a little bit of an aberration. We had one of many highest years of residence gross sales ever, and 4 million is somewhat on low facet. So once more, given our demographics, we’d most likely be someplace between 5 and 6 million models offered in a yr.

Dave:
Properly, I used to be making an attempt to avoid wasting this query for later, however now we’re on time to ask this as a result of we talked somewhat bit about this low stock, how that’s clearly in a roundabout way contributing to the shortage of gross sales quantity as is larger rate of interest, demand simply left the market. We see fewer mortgage buy functions, all kinds of indicators right here.
To me, I simply preserve questioning how this fixes itself as a result of if the primary purpose stock is low is the lock-in impact and there’s a variety of purpose to imagine that it’s, and I’ve not seen anybody forecast mortgage charges going again to 3 or 4 and even 4 and a half %, how lengthy might it presumably take for stock to start out approaching pre-pandemic ranges if ever?

Rick:
A pair methods to reply that, Dave. It’s a very vital query. The one situation that I preserve seeing individuals promote on YouTube, that makes me wish to strangle them-

Dave:
Shadow stock?

Rick:
We’re going to have a glut of houses … Yeah, okay … and in the intervening time, the housing market’s going to crash and residential values are going to lose 20, 30, 40% of worth. And if anyone who’s watching that is tempted to join these companies, name Dave, name me, we’ll speak you off the ledge. It’s simply there’s nothing in play, not one of the dynamics in place that might help that. That might be a method of correcting the difficulty, however that’s not going to occur.
I feel the most certainly situation is that this performs out slowly over the subsequent two to 4 years. And we noticed an analogous scenario occur again within the ’80s the place we had actually, actually boring residence gross sales for a variety of years because the market principally caught up with larger mortgage charges, larger residence costs, and it simply performs out over time. And the rationale it performs out over time is due to inflation and due to wage progress. Sooner or later the numbers aren’t fairly as daunting.
And after we discuss this market and also you take a look at affordability, which is absolutely what drives a variety of this, there’s three legs to the stool. The one we’re all speaking about proper now could be mortgage charges. And you actually can’t overstate how massive a job low mortgage charges performed within the growth that we went by means of or how massive a job doubling these charges had in the best way quantity has simply dropped off a cliff. The second is residence costs, and the third is wage progress.
Proper now could be the primary time I keep in mind in a few years the place wage progress is definitely outpacing residence costs. So residence costs have been declining and are literally, in the event that they’re rising now, they’re rising at a decrease tempo than wage progress.
So if mortgage charges got here down even somewhat bit and residential costs plateaued or began going up at 2, 3% a yr and wages grew at 5% a yr, over the subsequent few years, affordability would really feel somewhat higher and also you’d begin to see extra of those properties come to market and extra patrons come to market.

Dave:
Do you’ve any concern although, if mortgage charges come down somewhat bit, then it’s simply going to gas extra demand and never essentially extra provide?

Rick:
If mortgage charges come down just a bit bit, say they go down to 6, you most likely can have extra demand coming to market than provide, which can have the impact of elevating costs and making affordability much more difficult. Now that in itself might get some individuals which are on the fence to listing their properties due to the quantity of fairness they’ve, and-

Dave:
That’s true.

Rick:
… that could be a carrot that will get some individuals to maneuver ahead. I feel when you get rates of interest down to 5 and a half % perhaps or someplace in these mid-fives, you’ve lots of people who will then take a look at the market and say, “Okay, 5 and a half isn’t that far-off from 4 so far as rates of interest go. Possibly now can be time to promote my property as a result of costs are excessive and I can tolerate that.”
However that delta between a two and a half % mortgage and a 7% mortgage is simply too massive a monetary hurdle and a psychological hurdle for most individuals to get by. And that was going to be the third situation that’s I do imagine now we have an unusually excessive unfold between what mortgage charges might be and what they really are.
For those that don’t know this, mortgage charges for a 30-year mortgage are sometimes primarily based loosely on the yields on a 10-year US Treasury bond, and so they’re normally a couple of level and a half to 2 factors completely different. So in the event you regarded on the yield on a treasury bond at present, which is let’s say 3.8%, a traditional mortgage can be no larger than 5.8%, would possibly even be 5.3%. However due to threat and volatility because of what the Federal Reserve has been doing, there’s truly a 3 level distinction. So at present’s mortgage charges are over 6.8%, which is unusually excessive.
If the Fed settled down and we might simply take the danger and volatility out of the market, we might see rates of interest come down by a full level with out the rest occurring, and that might make a fabric distinction out there.

Dave:
I feel these are all fairly practical situations. It’s very exhausting to foretell. Do you suppose there’s one specifically you suppose is extra doubtless than the others?

Rick:
If I needed to guess cash on it, I might say we’re in for 2 to 4 years of fairly unexciting residence sales-

Dave:
Quantity?

Rick:
… quantity, whereas issues normalize. And that’s unlucky timing as a result of now we have the most important cohort of younger adults between the ages of 25 and 34 in US historical past, and that’s prime age for family formation. And if they will’t discover one thing they will afford to purchase, they’ll search for one thing to lease.
So I do suppose there’ll be alternatives for buyers. I feel buyers are going to have to stay versatile about their strategy, whether or not they’re rental property buyers or repair and flip buyers or wholesalers which are accommodating both of these forms of buyers.
But when I needed to guess on most certainly situation, it will be that mortgage charges come down steadily, costs don’t come down steadily, they preserve going up at perhaps a slower fee, and wage progress continues to be wholesome besides if now we have a recession after they’re more likely to come down somewhat bit after which rebound. And that’s a mix of issues that tends to result in a fairly sluggish gross sales quantity housing marketplace for a number of years.

Dave:
So I wish to get again to the survey that you just did. Clearly we’re speaking in broad nationwide degree developments proper now, however I’m curious in the event you noticed any regional statewide discrepancies in sentiment in your survey?

Rick:
We didn’t actually cross-reference particular person state points with the sentiment as a result of there weren’t sufficient members in any given state to essentially have a statistically vital quantity.
What I did discover, in the event you take a look at the place they’re investing at present versus the place they’re planning to speculate, we did see somewhat little bit of a decline in states like California, like Arizona, so among the Western and Northwestern states. A little bit bit much less exercise in Florida, which was somewhat little bit of a shock to me. And among the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest states noticed somewhat little bit of a rise in deliberate exercise.
So I don’t know the rationale for it, however one of many states that popped for six months from now was Virginia. So I suppose buyers perhaps know one thing that the remainder of us don’t concerning the housing market there.

Dave:
I suppose my principle is all the time that the extra reasonably priced markets proper now are going to be the extra in style ones, however I feel Virginia on state degree continues to be comparatively costly in comparison with a variety of different components of the nation.

Rick:
It’s proper about center of the pack by way of expense ranges. On the northern a part of the state, you’ve your proximity to D.C., which does are likely to inflate residence costs somewhat bit in Northern Virginia. Components within the south actually aren’t that costly in any respect, and positively components within the west of the state.
One of many issues that could be occurring additionally, Dave, is that buyers could be following among the migration patterns we’re seeing from a inhabitants standpoint. We noticed enormous swings into, initially, states like Utah and Arizona and Idaho, the Carolinas, Texas, Florida, when COVID hit and folks had been capable of earn a living from home and had been on the lookout for extra reasonably priced markets to purchase properties in. And that inflated residence costs in a few of these markets to the place we’re seeing a resetting now in states like Arizona and Idaho, which most likely had value will increase that outpaced market realities.
However we’re seeing inhabitants progress and job progress proceed in a few of these Southeastern and Midwestern states, even states like Texas within the South. Nearly each market in Texas is displaying progress apart from Austin proper now, each in job progress and value progress. And once more, Austin was a kind of high-flyers through the massive days of the pandemic.
So it might be that if I’m an investor, if I can monitor the place inhabitants is rising and the place jobs are rising, these are two indicators that you just most likely have a housing market that’s rising as nicely, each for gross sales and for leases. And it could be that buyers are being attentive to these developments.

Dave:
I might suppose so. I imply, we discuss it sufficient on the present, so perhaps. I might like to suppose that we’re transferring markets right here, however I don’t suppose that we’re precisely at that scale but. However I imply it is sensible. In the event you’re on the lookout for excessive chance lease and value appreciation locations to comply with, pop migration and family progress, these are issues that drive demand.

Rick:
And the inverse of that’s true, too. California misplaced a web of 300,000 individuals final yr, and the federal government used to pooh-pooh that by saying, “Oh, it’s all retirees.” And now what we’re seeing is younger school graduates additionally leaving the state. I’ve an grownup son dwelling at residence. He and his soon-to-be fiance who’s a lawyer, are speaking about what state they could want to maneuver to with a purpose to ever personal a home.

Dave:
It’s loopy.

Rick:
So I do suppose there’s a few of that occurring. And also you take a look at costs in Coastal California, the Pacific Northwest, components of Arizona, they’re down 10% yr over yr. So in the event you’re an investor, do you wish to guess that you just’re coming on the backside of the market in California and nonetheless paying $830,000 for a home, or would you fairly take a few of that money and transfer it to a market that appears extra poised for progress?

Dave:
That positively is sensible. You’re in California?

Rick:
I’m in Southern California, Orange County.

Dave:
Okay. Properly, most likely nonetheless a pleasant place to dwell.

Rick:
It’s a beautiful place to dwell for lots of causes, however candidly, my spouse and I are speaking about the place we would transfer after I retire. So it’s a really real-world situation for lots of Californians.

Dave:
So congratulations on the survey. That is superior. I really like seeing this. Is the plan to do that periodically so you possibly can monitor sentiment over time?

Rick:
Yeah. We’ll be fielding our subsequent survey in August, pushing out the leads to September. We wish to have this on the market obtainable quarterly. We surveyed over 300 buyers for this one. I’m hopeful that we’ll get extra curiosity as we go ahead from those who wish to take part on this and share their views. And so yeah, it’s going to be a quarterly occasion.

Dave:
Nice. Properly, let me know while you do. We’d love to check out the outcomes and have you ever again to debate them as a result of I feel that is actually useful to our specific viewers. As we mentioned on the high of the present, there’s tons of details about residence patrons. And people developments are considerably useful, however actually understanding the area of interest of what all of our colleagues and friends as small actual property buyers are doing is tremendous useful.

Rick:
Yeah, we thought that was lacking from the market and that’s why RCN and my firm determined that it was time to provoke one thing like this.

Dave:
All proper, nice. Properly, Rick, thanks a lot for becoming a member of us. We actually admire you each time we come right here On the Market. If individuals wish to study extra concerning the survey or your new firm, the place ought to they try this?

The report’s obtainable on the RCN Capital web site. That’s simply rcncapital.com. And you’ll find extra details about my firm at cjpatrick.com.

Superior. And I did, truly, that was one query I needed to ask you since you had been one of many authentic individuals I began following on Twitter. I used to be very late to Twitter, and I used to be questioning, are you on threads now? Are you threading?

Rick:
I’m not threading but. I’m ready to see how that really shakes out. And I’m additionally ready to see what Mastermind Musk does with Twitter, if he winds up blowing that up. However-

Dave:
Yeah, you bought to name it X now, as of some days in the past.

Rick:
Proper now my social channels are Twitter, LinkedIn. And I’m nonetheless on Fb and that’s a mixture of private {and professional}.
