In this episode, Joe Williams, co-founder of Keller Williams, moderates a discussion with a group of industry experts who provide valuable insights into the current market conditions, particularly regarding interest rates and their impact on real estate investments. One panelist shares their lending terms, offering packages with 6-month to 36-month durations, and interest rates ranging from 10.5% to 14%.
