The average single-family home statewide across California reached $888,000 in October 2024, according to the California Association of Realtors, and a California condominium might cost you about $670,000.
While the unusually perfect number of $888,000 for California properties may seem a bit high for most Americans, it’s lower than the few consecutive months earlier this summer when average home prices surpassed $900,000.
By comparison, the median home listing price in October for the entire nation reached $424,950, as per Realtor.com. Both the number of homes listed for sale and home prices are higher than one year prior.
For example, the total number of home listings rose +22.5% between October 2024 and October 2023 while home prices still increased in most U.S. home regions. This is quite an unusual combination of rising inventory and prices that are usually inverse to one another like a seesaw.
Generally, home prices either remain the same or start to fall as home listing inventory rises. However, our total national home listing supply is still well below historical averages and we’ve haven’t seen significant home price drops yet.
Unaffordable Home Prices and Payments
Nationwide, the typical monthly mortgage payment hit $2,175 in November 2024, which was quite a jump of +6.9% from one month prior when the October payment was $2,034, as per Reef Insights.
The good news about mortgage payments in the 4th quarter of 2024 is that they are -10.7% lower than last year’s record high of $2,435. This is primarily due to the fact that long-term 30-year fixed mortgage rates have fallen quite a bit over the past year.
In spite of the more recent national mortgage payment averages being -10.7% lower than last year, today’s monthly payment for the U.S. is a whopping +78.7% higher than back in January 2020. The combination of record low mortgage rates and record high home prices in many regions between 2020 and 2024 were key reasons why home payments and home prices changed in recent years.
Today, a homebuyer needs to budget or set aside another $1,000 per month ($12,000/yr.) to purchase the same house compared to just four years ago. How many Americans today are earning $12,000 more per year today to help cover these costs? It’s probably not that large of a number for home buyer prospects who are earning much more money today than back in 2020.

The Importance of Boosting FICO scores
As shared before in my article entitled The Interconnected California & Global Real Estate Markets, it’s never been more important to figure out ways to increase your FICO credit scores so that your qualifying mortgage rates are as low as possible and your qualifying loan-to-value (LTV) options are as high as possible, especially if you have minimal cash reserves for real estate purchases.
Understanding Credit: FICO scores range from 300 to 850. The higher the score, the better the credit grade.
The three main credit bureaus or credit reporting agencies (CRAs) include Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. The credit scores are derived from the following factors: ● Payment history—35% ● Amount owed—30% ● Length of credit history—15% ● New credit—10% ● Types of credit used—10%
Newer Credit Score Models: The average American has a FICO credit score near 690 to 700, according to various reports. In October 2022, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced the approval of a new credit score rating system named FICO 10T and VantageScore 4.0 for use by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. FICO 10T and VantageScore 4.0 will consider payment histories from rent, utilities, and telecommunication bills. Yet, a rental payment history can be very bad for tenants on Covid moratoriums with years of no payments.
I’ve written real estate courses in most states for the two largest real estate publishers as well as for the oldest and best-known real estate school in California. Many of the courses that I create include details about how to build, rebuild, or boost overall credit scores.
Oftentimes, I am helping my clients increase their FICO scores during our mortgage pre-approval process. If and when successful with boosting my clients’ credit scores by 20 to 200+ FICO points within a relatively short period of time, the client may then qualify for a much lower rate while saving tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of interest payments on their mortgage.
California’s Rising Rents
The median rent for all property types.in California reached $2,800 in October 2024, as per Zillow. California rents were $795 higher than the national median. The more encouraging news for California renters is that rents only increased by $5 per month as compared to back in December 2023.
Top 10 Most Expensive Rental Markets in California
For those people who are struggling making rent payments here in California and elsewhere, it’s quite understandable why as we review the Top 10 priciest average rental regions below:
1. San Diego: $3,175/mo. 2. San Francisco: $3,168/mo. 3. Los Angeles: $2,893/mo. 4. San Jose: $2,570/mo. 5. Santa Monica: $2,500/mo. 6. Oakland: $2,450/mo. 7. Irvine: $2,400/mo. 8. Santa Ana: $2,370/mo. 9. Berkeley: $2,350/mo. 10. Fremont: $2,300/mo.

Top 10 Most Affordable Rental Markets in California
Conversely, let’s take a look at the 10 most affordable rental markets in California as per Zillow:
Please focus on increasing your FICO credit scores whether or not you currently own real estate or dream to one day buy your first home. With average credit card APRs (Annual Percentage Rates – includes rates and annual fees) hovering in the 35% to 45% APR ranges today for many consumers, it can be very challenging to pay off this unpaid and compounding consumer debt as well as to set aside enough cash reserves for a down payment and closing costs for home purchases.
Earlier this year, the average store merchant credit card rates were closer to 28.93% before the Federal Reserve cut short-term interest rates by 0.75%. In spite of the 0.75% rate cuts by the Fed, several big box retailer merchant card rates rose by 7% to today’s 35.99% rate average in recent months, according to USA Today.
In normal economic times, credit cards rates would’ve fallen after the Fed cut short-term interest rates. However, many of these same merchant credit card rates rose by almost 7%. This may be completely unprecedented as I can’t think of any other time in U.S. history when credit card rates rose so quickly and at such a large 7% rate increase following two Federal Reserve rate cuts for short-term rates that usually lowers credit card rates.
These rates don’t include annual fees, so the true APRs (Annual Percentage Rate) are probably closer to 40% to 45%+ as most credit card issuers don’t have to follow usury laws.
Usury:the illegal action or practice of lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest. (Source: Dictionary.com)
Credit card default rates are reaching all-time record highs for some credit card issuers. As a result, they are seemingly punishing the credit card customers who are still making their payments on time to cover these credit card issuer losses with higher rates and fees for both the good and bad paying customers.
If possible, please pay off any double-digit debt as fast as possible. Then, focus on boosting your credit scores. Once achieved or if you need some free credit repair advice from me and a new mortgage, please contact me for more details. I’m easiest to reach via email at [email protected].

Navigating the ever-evolving landscape of real estate investment can be daunting, but for Dr. Chander Mishra and his wife Iva, co-founders of Blue Ocean Capital in Texas, the journey has been one of growth, learning, and strategic expansion. Their story is one of starting small, thinking big, and finding a balance between their professional and personal lives.
article continues after advertisement
From Humble Beginnings to Strategic Growth
Dr. Mishra’s exposure to real estate began early.
“Growing up in Delhi, India all I knew was real estate,” he said during a recent interview with Realty411. “Every weekend, our family would scout developing areas, buy land, hold it for several years, and then develop it. We did this five or six times in 25 years, generating substantial returns each time.”
This hands-on experience provided Dr. Mishra with a unique understanding of real estate dynamics, which later became the foundation of Blue Ocean Capital.
Iva’s experience with real estate also started at a young age, though in a different way.
“My father was a university professor, and wherever we lived he bought a home and then rented it out whenever we moved,” she said.
This simple strategy provided financial security for her father, particularly in his retirement years. Inspired by these family influences, Dr. Mishra and Iva ventured into real estate together, starting with land purchases and condo developments in 2003, before moving into single-family flips and eventually multifamily properties in 2016.
The Shift to Multifamily Properties
Like many real estate investors, Dr. Mishra’s and Iva’’s initial flipping foray was into single-family homes. However, they soon realized the limitations and challenges of this approach.
“Flipping single-family homes was difficult,” Dr. Mishra said. “We were dependent on others to complete the work, and there were frequent incidents of theft and delays. That’s when we started learning about multifamily properties, which were easier to manage from an operational perspective.”
Transitioning to multifamily properties was not without its challenges, but the decision paid off.
“We sold our single-family properties and started fresh with multifamily investments,” Iva mentioned. “We didn’t mix and match; we focused on building a portfolio that could provide consistent, long-term returns.”
Balancing Real Estate and Personal Life
Managing a growing real estate portfolio while maintaining a work-life balance is no easy feat, especially for Dr. Mishra, a busy physician, and Iva, a businesswoman raising two sons.
“It’s all about balance,” Iva said. “Having the right team at Blue Ocean Capital who understands our mission allows us to achieve continued success while still making time for family.”
Dr. Mishra agreed, adding that a clear division of roles and responsibilities is crucial.
“We look at our life as a single plane with different activities,” he said. “We hire key people to handle tasks we can’t manage ourselves. This approach makes it easier to grow and manage a large portfolio.”

Navigating Market Challenges
The multifamily real estate market has seen its share of ups and downs, especially with fluctuating interest rates and increasing operational costs.
“Commercial real estate, especially in markets like Dallas, is facing some challenges,” Dr. Mishra said. “Interest rates, taxes, insurance costs, and inflation have all impacted property valuations and operational expenses.”
Despite these challenges, Blue Ocean Capital remains optimistic.
“We believe the market will bounce back as the Federal Reserve cuts rates,” Iva said. “We are continuously learning and adapting, always looking for new investment opportunities.”
Building a Legacy for the Future
Dr. Mishra and Iva are not only focused on their current success, but are also committed to building a legacy for their children.
“There’s no right or wrong age to start any venture,” Iva said. “Our sons are involved in the business whenever they can, learning the ropes and preparing for the future.”
Dr. Mishra added, “We teach our kids to have multiple streams of income. Real estate is just one way to do it. They can trade stocks, publish books, or even run a digital marketing agency. The key is to have more than one way to make money.”
Advice for Aspiring Investors
For those looking to follow in their footsteps, Dr. Mishra and Iva have some advice.
“Keep going, find your blind spots, and hire people who can fill those gaps,” Dr. Mishra suggested. “Every day is an opportunity to grow, learn, and create something new.”
Iva echoed his sentiments, emphasizing the importance of continuous learning.
“Real estate isn’t an overnight success story,” she said. “It’s a business that requires commitment, learning, and adaptability.”
Looking Ahead
As Blue Ocean Capital continues to grow, the Mishra couple remains open to new opportunities.
“We are actively syndicating and accepting funds for new projects,” Dr. Mishra said. “The market is opening up, and we’re excited about what the future holds.”
For Chander and Iva Mishra, real estate is more than just a business; it’s a lifelong journey of learning, growth, and giving back.
“Our mission is not only to build wealth, but also to help all professionals learn about the benefits of real estate investing,” Dr. Mishra said. “We believe in the cycle of learning, earning, and returning.”
The Mishra couple’s approach to real estate investment serves as an inspiring example for others looking to enter the market, emphasizing the importance of resilience, adaptability, and a long-term perspective.

As the holiday season approaches, many real estate investors start slowing down, enjoying time with family, and reflecting on the year that’s passed. But if you’re the kind of investor who’s always on the hunt for growth, scaling and new opportunities, you know that the holidays are a golden time to get ahead. The festive season brings unique opportunities for connection, reflection, and yes, even deal-making. But how do you balance holiday cheer with serious business growth?
The secret weapon is the 4Qs! Let’s leverage four types of intelligence that go beyond traditional skills to help you stand out in a crowded market. We will discuss in detail three of the Qs in this article. Just follow the steps below to get access to the 4th Q. These four “quotients” are not just abstract concepts; they’re tools you can leverage to grow and scale your business during this holiday season.
Let’s dive into a fun framework that will give you an edge:
1. IQ – Intelligence Quotient: Thinking Smarter, Not Harder
Your IQ is your traditional intelligence quotient, and while it’s sometimes seen as “just book smarts,” but it’s much more. In real estate having a high IQ helps with analyzing market trends, understanding complex legal jargon, strategic thinking, and making sound investment decisions.
Holiday Application:
Analyze the Year’s Data: Take some quiet time to review your performance data. Look at which investments worked and which didn’t. Dive into market reports to identify emerging trends for the new year.
Financial Savvy: Tax strategies, end-of-year financials, and planning for next year’s cash flow are essential. Being financially literate allows you to make smart moves that might not be possible in the heat of peak season. Look into investment accounts, deductions, or year-end deals on properties.
Plan with Precision: Use the downtime to map out next year’s strategy. Set clear, data-backed goals. For example, if you see multifamily properties trending in your area, consider allocating resources to pursue those investments in the new year.
Pro Tip: Invest in tech tools to automate data collection and analysis. You don’t need to crunch every number yourself, but leveraging the right tools can make you appear like a real estate wizard.
2. EQ (Emotional Quotient): Building Relationships That Last
High EQ, or emotional intelligence, is a superpower in real estate. It’s the ability to read people and their emotions, the ability for you to manage and control your emotions, communicate effectively, and build strong relationships. These are all critical skills when negotiating deals or working with clients. Deals are made between people, and the holiday season is the perfect time to leverage your EQ to strengthen relationships.
Holiday Application:
Connect Authentically: Send personalized holiday greetings or small gifts to your network. A little note that genuinely acknowledges your appreciation for their business, partnership or mentorship goes a long way.
Emotional Check-In: High EQ also means knowing when to take a break. Make sure you’re not running on empty by prioritizing a bit of holiday rest and relaxation. When you’re recharged, you’re better at connecting and negotiating.
Listen to Learn: Many people reflect on their goals and challenges during the holidays. Reach out to potential partners or clients and take time to listen. Let them share their aspirations and challenges for the upcoming year—it will give you invaluable insights into how you can serve them better in the future.
Pro Tip: Host a low-key holiday mixer or virtual coffee meet-up with local investors, partners, or even tenants. Use this as an opportunity to listen, share stories and build goodwill.

3. AQ (Adversity Quotient): Resilience in the Face of Challenges
In real estate, things rarely go exactly as planned. Deals fall through, markets fluctuate, and unexpected expenses arise.AQ is all about your ability to handle adversity, bounce back from setbacks, and keep moving forward. A high AQ means staying resilient when deals fall through, financing doesn’t pan out, or markets take unexpected turns.
Holiday Application:
Embrace the Market Shift: If the holiday season is traditionally slow for your market, don’t be discouraged. Use this time to refine your strategies, reassess risk, and prepare for the next active season. This is also a great time to find motivated sellers who might be looking to close a deal before year-end.
Reflect and Reframe: Look back on the year and identify where you faced challenges. What worked? What didn’t? Use these experiences as lessons. Embrace the challenges as learning opportunities and look for ways to build resilience in your business model for the coming year.
Pro Tip: Surround yourself with a “framily” (friends who are like family) of like-minded investors who encourage you to stay resilient. Accountability groups or mastermind sessions can help you keep a high AQ even during the holiday lull. Do You Want to Join our Framily? www.eframily.com
4Q – Free bonus by following Hugh on any social media platform – Send him a DM from social media with the words “I want the bonus 4th Q”.
Making the Holidays Your Growth Season
The holidays might be quieter, but that doesn’t mean you should hit pause. Instead, use this season to plan, connect, and build resilience for the year ahead. By honing your intelligence, nurturing your relationships, building resilience and expanding your network, you can make the most of the holiday season and set yourself up for a prosperous new year. Take this opportunity to sharpen your Qs, and you’ll find yourself starting the new year with momentum, new connections, and a solid strategy.
So, grab some eggnog, deck the halls, and get ready to turn these holiday vibes into your next big investment wave.
Cheers to a successful holiday season and an even more profitable new year!

The 15,700 square foot building in downtown Denver’s mecca for entertainment, retail and hospitality will be home to a Formula 1 racing and lifestyle experience
Denver, CO (November 2024) – Staying true to their promise of bringing an “experiential retail space” to downtown Denver’s popular RiNo district, Magnetic Capital has fully leased their recently purchased building at 2734 Walnut Street to F1® Arcade, the world’s first Formula 1 experiential hospitality brand.

“RiNo continues to be one of the most dynamic neighborhoods of Denver and has proven itself as a mecca for retail, hospitality and entertainment, said Dan Huml of Magnetic Capital. “The property features dynamic spaces with exposed ceilings and a beautiful barrel truss roof. The outdoor area is perfect for accommodating a spacious patio. Given the popularity of Formula 1® in the US, F1® Arcade will be an exciting addition to the RiNo Arts District that will blend well with the fabric of the neighborhood.”
As a complement to the thrilling racing experience, F1® Arcade offers an elevated, globally inspired food and beverage menu, that will also highlight locally influenced dishes and more. Alongside its culinary offerings, F1 Arcade will serve an array of handcrafted signature cocktails and non-alcoholic “designated driver” drinks.
“Experiential retail is a popular trend for people who want more activities than just dinner and drinks out with friends,” added Huml. “They want a place where they can have various options to hangout, have fun and spend more time at a single location. We’re excited to be partnering with Trinity Investors on this concept.”

The F1® Arcades are a fantastic place to enjoy a genuine Formula 1 experience, from the sim racing through to the dining and their unrivalled watch parties are unrivalled to.”

The
financial news headlines are enough to cloud the mindset of any real estate investor
wondering if the space is still a viable one — ongoing bank failures and
interest rate hikes, recession fears, lingering supply chain issues and a stock
market that reflects both unease and uncertainty. What should you do?
If
you’re smart during this period, look for opportunities to grow your portfolio
rather than cashing it out or just sitting on the sidelines. So-called safe
havens might be right under your nose – if you do your homework first.
Well-informed
individual investors are looking to diversify their portfolios even during this
time of turbulence and trepidation. While some are buckling down or momentarily
bowing out, savvier investors are still pursuing a diverse mix of investments
to position themselves to do more than just weather the storm. One ally in the
battle can be private real estate investment offerings or alternative
investment syndicates (alts) for accredited investors working
with registered investment advisors (RIAs) or family offices. Private
multifamily housing investments in particular are worth a closer look.
Alts,
RIA, REIT and Multifamily Home Projects
Why
alts, RIAs and multifamily? Because according to new
research trending from AltExchange, nine in 10 advisors intend to increase alts
allocations over the next two years, and because other financial
advisors might not have access to for their clients
or may get wrong. The nice thing about these investments is that they are
non-correlated to the stock market. And they don’t come with the extra layers
of management and other fees frequently found in traditional REIT (real estate
investment trusts) or funds.

In
many such REIT scenarios, they can be filled with basket-type portfolios – you
have to invest in office, shopping centers and other property mixes that you
might not be interested in, investment-wise. But select firms offering direct
real estate exposure can offer a sound alternative to a REIT by offering
investors the ability to decide which single projects to fund,
thereby lessening their exposure to broader
and more volatile product types. This is one advantage to working with an RIA
connected to a private firm like the one I represent — Roers Companies — where
we can offer direct investment in specific multifamily properties to accredited
investors through the advisors they know and trust.
Multifamily
housing demand remains high, and the housing crisis in major cities is
widespread. Single-family homes are becoming increasingly too expensive to buy
or build for the current and next generation of housing seekers. Single-family
home construction is generally slowing, and interest rates are pricing out many
potential homebuyers, which creates sustained demand for rental housing. So
multifamily investing can be an ideal hedge in the current environment — again
if you do your due diligence.
Check
These Boxes: Scoping, Transparency, Frequent Reporting and Fast Lease-Up Rates
Eleven
years ago, Roers Companies’ co-owners (and brothers) Kent and Brian Roers began
developing multifamily properties in the Midwest. Now, the business they
founded includes 10,000 apartment units and $2 billion in development across 14
states — proof, perhaps, that its one-stop business model is thriving. The
leaders and their team have weathered more than a few storms, and they readily
attribute tenacity during downturns and diversification as key to their
sustained growth and success. But don’t just take my word for it.
According
to Kurt Durrwachter,
founder and CEO of the 13-year-old Ledge
Wealth Management in Sartell, Minn., with nearly $400 million under management, Roers
Companies has successfully differentiated itself. He says, “Their one-stop
business model with development, construction and property management is very
attractive. And their regular reporting of construction and other information
offers the kind of detail we rarely see in this business. I think they’re
pretty unique, and they have a highly successful leadership team that has done
an impressive job of growing the company in just 11 years.”
Roers
Companies reached that milestone largely on the strength of “friends-and-family
investors” based primarily in Minnesota. That strategy helped them become
a top-three Twin Cities developer,
Minnesota Real Estate
Awards’ 2023 Developer
of the Year, and even rank among
the Top 25 Developers
of multifamily housing in the country, according to the National Multifamily
Housing Council.

Now
their new initiative, working with RIAs and family offices, will allow Roers
Companies to expand into additional markets where multifamily housing is needed
and market fundamentals are solid. This next chapter in their story is also
helpful in understanding the current and future opportunities that exist for
anyone considering what the multifamily niche has to offer — even in a
downturn.
One
longtime Roers Companies investor notes how the company has done a superior job
of checking all the key boxes investors look for.
“They
have been very successful in just 10-11years’ time,” observes James Lee,
“because they’re doing projects and making site selections in cities with
projected job growth and housing shortages, especially in multifamily housing—
and their fast lease-up rates are twice as quick as the industry average!
“The
critical research, scoping and planning Roers Cos., does—plus the construction
and leasing updates and quarterly reporting to their investors that offer true
transparency — are often missing with larger investment firms. The returns,” he
adds, “can be significant.”
Jeffrey
Grant, Senior Managing Director, Capital Markets, leads the RIA initiative for
Roers Companies, whose development pipeline includes ground-breaks in North
Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee in 2023.
