Today we take a dive into the state of the economy and the real estate market.

There's a crowdfunding company called Roofstock that allows you to invest in real estate. Roofstock lists homes all over the country and displays your potential return rate. For example, if you invest in a $385,000 home right now with 40% down, you’d see a 5-year return rate of $109,483. On the other hand, if you buy a $45,000 investment property, you could see a total return of $28,377 in 5 years and $295,079 in 30 years. This seems so promising but does anyone see the glaring issue with this example?

DID YOU KNOW: For the first time since March, the percentage of loans in forbearance actually DECREASED week-on-week (slightly down but still down) according to data provider Black Knight. Another interesting stat from this story: roughly 1-in-5 borrowers continued to make their loan payments despite being officially in forbearance. Whats interesting to note is that 90% of homeowners in forbearance plans have at least 10% equity in their homes, which is protecting them fr...om the risk of foreclosure. There are approximately 4.7M homeowners in forbearance right now and 1.4M of those (nearly 30%) were behind on their mortgage payments before the pandemic hit. I believe these numbers will continue to shrink as more businesses open back up and furloughed employees return back to work. Bottom line: if you're putting off purchasing a home because you think the market is going to be ripe full of foreclosures, the data suggest otherwise.
