He then moves on to talk about strategies for stabilizing your cash flow, including the option of getting tenant-default insurance. He proceeds to discuss the differences between the Great Recession of 2008 vs. The Great Shutdown of 2020. He explains the COVID-19 era trends that are negatively impacting commercial real estate, but positively impacting single-family rental properties. Matt explains the “de-densification” trend of both home buyers and renters moving out of densely populated areas, communal living situations, and apartment buildings and migrating into detached single-family homes. He also explains the supply and demand dynamics, and how there is an undersupply of affordable single-family homes amidst increasing demand for them, which could actually drive prices up in some areas. Matt then explains how residential investment property is a multi-dimensional asset class that has 5 simultaneous profit centers. He explains how to buy in the high-demand micro-markets within ‘recession resilient’ regions of the U.S. to position yourself on the supply side of the high demand trends for both buying and renting. He explains the tax benefits that remain constant, and how the tenant pays down your mortgage principle so you are building equity regardless of home price fluctuations. And finally, he breaks down the 3 ways you can profit from inflation when you take out a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. → Full show notes with direct links to everything discussed are available here. ============================ FIND YOUR NEXT EPISODE Explore The Maverick Show Starter Packs — some of my favorite conversations curated by theme so you can easily find the episodes that match your interests. ============================ FREE RESOURCES FOR YOU See my Top 10 Travel Apps See my Top 10 Books that Shaped the Way I Travel See my 7 Keys For Building A Remote Business (Even in a space that’s not traditionally virtual) Watch my Video Training on Stylish Minimalist Packing so you can join #TeamCarryOn See the Travel Gear I Use and Recommend See How I Produce The Maverick Show Podcast (The equipment, services & vendors I use) ============================ ENJOYING THE SHOW?

The Maverick Show is a global travel podcast about what really happens when people cross borders and build lives across cultures. Hosted by full-time world traveler Matt Bowles, each episode features intimate, unfiltered conversations (often over a bottle of wine) exploring the human stories behind global travel and what the journey teaches us about the world and ourselves.  Guests include expats, digital nomads, women and diaspora storytellers, worldschooling families, and human rights advocates, all sharing travel stories that are funny, moving, and deeply human.  In addition to hearing about extraordinary places and the people who live there, you’ll learn what it’s really like to move abroad, build an expat life, or travel long-term, as guests open up about their personal journeys navigating culture, race, power, identity, and belonging in an unequal world. If you’ve ever felt that travel changes you in ways no one talks about, you’re in the right place.  The Maverick Show hit the Top 100 on Apple Podcasts (including #1 in Places & Travel), was ranked in the Top 1% of podcasts globally by Listen Notes, and was named the #1 Digital Nomad Podcast and #1 Remote Work Podcast by Million Podcasts — with hundreds of five-star listener reviews.
