📍 Most people get this wrong about recessions and real estate… 🧠🏡⁣
Recessions can actually help the housing market. Here’s why:⁣
⁣
📈 When the economy overheats, the Fed raises interest rates to fight inflation—and that’s when real estate usually takes the hit.⁣

💸 Higher borrowing costs = less activity and slower price growth.⁣
⁣
But once the slowdown turns into a recession? The Fed lowers rates—and real estate, being highly leveraged, is often the first to bounce back. 🔁💥⁣
⁣
This “first in, first out” cycle means housing actually recovered in 4 of the last 6 recessions (yep, 2008 was the big exception). 😮🏠⁣
⁣
👉 So while no one likes a recession, it might just be a launchpad for real estate investors.⁣
⁣
And if you want to be ready to take advantage of that next bounce back…⁣
