Episode 126: Ron Walraven

Intelligent Accredited Investor Podcast

Real estate has always been considered a safe asset, offering a stable return with the potential to grow over time. But that is not always a walk in the park. Today's real estate market can be volatile, and your property could be worth less than you paid for it when conditions change.

Undoubtedly, we are experiencing a recession due to inflation and high-interest rates in the economy. Real estate has been affected in terms of demand, supply, and even financing. These new uncertainties demand a different approach and transition. You need to diversify your investment portfolio if you are to survive. Ron Walraven joins us for a chat on the current market, what investors need to be doing, and the predictions we can have in the next 24 months.

Ron is a full-time investor & Broker with 20+ years of Distressed/REO residential sales and management, with consistent closing excellence. He has many years of experience running a team of up to 9 people. From the market uncertainties in real estate, Ron took a different path in the last eight years to investing instead of REO/retail sales because the current market is very challenging in acquiring assets to resell.

Listen and learn more about Ron’s experiences with the current housing market, how he has transitioned, and the valuable lessons he has learned.
