86% of Americans think it's a bad time to buy a house. For real estate investors it feels even worse. Rates continue to jump up, Marion County tax bills are up 2 to 3x on some rentals, and insurance is up about 1.5x.

Jared Shore founded Mamba Mortgage and has 14 years in lending. He works with Roots investors, and he doesn't try to guess where rates go next. His read on the real problem: rates stayed high, but Indianapolis home prices kept climbing. The market is almost too strong for rates to fall.

In this episode, he walks through what still works.
