GCA FORUMS and subforums were founded with one concept in mind: To serve consumers, entrepreneurs, homebuyers, home sellers, real estate investors, and the general public. When people buy or sell a certain house, they move and, therefore, have to start life in that new place. All the partnerships that they have developed with local vendors and merchants will cease to exist ………. Read More

When Americans are struggling with surging inflation, skyrocketing home prices, false economic numbers, record high unemployment, historic high mortgage rates, and fake news with misleading and deceptive political hacks like Janet Yellen, the Biden Crime Family, the Feds printing money and dollar not backed by any hard assets, the stock market is surging at historic highs and CNN and the fake news media misleading and brainwashing American by announcing how great Bidenomics is and how our economy is great. CNN, the other liberal media media platforms are telling Americans to just look at the stockmarket and that the stockmarket says it all. I say it’s a crock of shit and it is manipulated. Look at prices on grocery stores. Inflation is like a runaway train with no sight of stabilization. Why the economy is I’m dire critical crisis mode, the clowns of America keep on printing money and misleading the American people by lying, causing panic, printing money, and cheating on elections. NDVA is a AI stock that doubled in prices based on future forecasted earnings and the stockmarket is hitting new historic highs every day @cpensacola @alex

Every sign out there signals the housing market is in big trouble. The liberal media and the Democrats are in a state of denial and according to FED Chairman Jerome Powell, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, President Joe Biden, VP Kamala Harris, the liberal media from CNN, CNBC, and every major news networks are saying everything is fine and that Bidenomic is the savior of the forecasted recession and the U.S. economy had a soft landing and we are now in great shape. Who are they kidding. You do not have to be a genius to see that inflation is far worse than the numbers claim. People are not making it with what they are making. Inflation did not stabilize. That is a total crock of bullshit. Look at the prices at the grocery store. Have you seen goods and services doubling and tripling in price in such a short period of time? Most American’s wages have not gotten wage increases to match the rate of inflation. The Federal Reserve Board is headed by a total incompetent leader and the board are a mere of incompetent joke. The dollar is literally worthless and the global economic leaders have lost any and all respect for U.S. currency and I do not blame them. Anyone with a single digit IQ will tell you they will be crazy to invest in the U.S. treasuries the way they are printing the dollar like there is no tomorrow. The dollar is not backed by any hard assets such as Gold or Silver. The inflation rate is far from being stabilized. A Big Mac Value meal at McDonalds is $20.00. California, under the leadership of Gavin Newson is losing residents by the tens of thousands daily and the state is in chaos. Democrat states like California, New York, Illinois are passing laws of making illegal aliens able to own guns and become police officers. Mortgage rates, which seemed like there was a light at the end of the tunnel a few weeks ago when it dropped to the low 6.00% jumped backed up to over 7% due to FAKE economic and unemployment numbers and made up economic data which hands down is a big fat LIE. Corruption is rampant and never in history has the liberal left been as out of control as they are now. The left have no shame. They get caught cheating, lying, stealing, and can lie straight to the American people with a straight face. Home prices have doubled in the past couple of years in many areas of the country and many homeowners have done a cash-out refinance to tap into their artificial equity. The housing market crash forecast is not an IF but a DEFINITE COMING SOON to a neighborhood near you. In the past it was difficult to predict the housing market with complete certainty, as it is influenced by various economic factors that can shift over time. However, based on current data and expert analysis, the potential housing market forecast for the U.S. housing market in 2024 is definitely a given doom and gloom. Moderating home price appreciation: The deniers of the true economy seem to think that after years of rapid home price growth, housing prices will continue to increase, and most forecasts suggest a deceleration in 2024, with prices expected to rise at a more moderate pace of around 2-4% nationwide. However, the realists believe home prices will tank a solid 40% or more and the Dow Jones Industrial Average will fall below 20,000. Stabilizing mortgage rates: If inflation continues to cool, mortgage rates are projected to stabilize in the range of 6-7% by 2024, down from the peaks seen in late 2022. Improving housing inventory: As higher mortgage rates continue to cool demand, the inventory of homes for sale is expected to gradually increase, providing more options for buyers and a potential drop in home prices. More bankruptcies and foreclosures is expected as wll as divorce rates is suppose to skyrocket. Shift towards a balanced market: The deniers and globalists seem to believe the housing market is anticipated to transition from a strong seller’s market to a more balanced state, with less competition and fewer bidding wars which is a crock of shit. Realists believe the real estate market will tank worse than the 2008 financial crisis, more foreclosures, and bankruptcies than ever recorded in history. Affordability challenges: Despite moderating prices, affordability will likely remain a major concern for many buyers due to higher mortgage rates and lingering inflation and homelessness is suppose to skyrocket like never before in the history of the United States. Rental market strength: The rental market is expected to remain strong in 2024 but many rentals is forecasted to increase where many people will not be able to afford rent. Many people who could have afforded homes are not priced out of the housing market and stuck with renting because it is driven by demographic shifts and affordability constraints for homeownership. Regional variations: Housing market conditions will continue to vary across different regions and metropolitan areas, with some markets cooling faster than others. Economic factors: The overall performance of the housing market will depend on factors such as job growth, consumer confidence, and the broader economic conditions in 2024. The media is not reporting the truth about millions of people getting laid off, large number of small businesses shutting their doors, and people losing faith in the American economy. It’s important to note that these forecasts are based on current data and assumptions, and unforeseen economic or geopolitical events could alter the trajectory of the housing market. Additionally, local market conditions may differ from national trends. Wake up, America. We need a total overhaul of corrupt politicians, and a full correction of the housing market and get rid of lifelong career politicians. Fake NEWS needs to be banned and censorship needs to get outlawed. Who in the Hell is Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Anthony Fauci, Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and thousands of liberals and Globalists to demand human depopulation with the coronavirus vaccine, chem trails, killing babies for adrenochrome, and human trafficking where they get to live long and euthanize Americans older than 70 years old. Americans need to voice these concerns and take our country back and eliminate the satanist, evil, mortals who do not belong in this world and need to be terminated as well as their bloodlines. Here is an informative video from Peter Schiff who called the 2008 financial crisis and was spot on.

Seems like everyone is an expert in the media where they say that mortgage rates are still low. Jim Kramer of CNN is the biggest liar and bullshitter who has great talent. Jim Krammer talent is lying with a straight face on national television on how great the economy is, how inflation is under control, and how mortgage rates are still low compared to 1980. All of these liberal clowns need to shut down their clownshow and get off the air. What are your thoughts of mortgage rates forecast in the coming months through 2025? What are your thoughts of inflation, the housing market, the stock market, the dollar, unemployment, and investment opportunities?

Maintaining insurance coverage is crucial for safeguarding your assets and finances against unexpected events. However, a lapse in insurance can prove problematic when seeking a new carrier. It is imperative to understand the potential consequences that can arise from a lapse in coverage as they can impact your ability to secure insurance coverage.
A lapse in insurance arises when an individual fails to pay their insurance premiums on time, resulting in the expiration of their coverage. This can happen for various reasons, such as financial difficulties, forgetfulness, or being unaware of the renewal date. Regardless of the reason, a lapse in coverage can pose significant challenges when attempting to acquire a new policy.
Primarily, a lapse in insurance can make it difficult to find a new carrier. Insurance companies view lapses in coverage as a red flag, indicating that the client may be a high-risk candidate. The length of the lapse can determine the difficulty of finding a new carrier willing to provide coverage. Some insurance companies may refuse coverage altogether, while others may require a down payment upfront or charge higher premiums.
Additionally, a lapse in insurance can impact insurance rates. Insurance companies use various factors to determine insurance rates, including driving record, credit score, and claims history. A lapse in coverage can negatively affect these factors, resulting in higher insurance rates. In some instances, the insurance company may require higher rates for several years after the lapse.
Finally, a lapse in insurance can impact one’s ability to make claims. If an accident occurs during the lapse, the individual may not be covered by their insurance policy. Even if a new policy is secured after the lapse, the new carrier may refuse to cover damages incurred during the lapsed period.
In summary, a lapse in insurance can create significant difficulties when attempting to secure a new carrier. Timely payment of premiums and staying aware of renewal dates can help avoid a lapse in coverage. If a lapse does occur, it is crucial to work with an insurance agent to find a new carrier and understand the implications of the lapse on one’s coverage and rates. Being proactive about insurance coverage can ensure that one is protected in the face of unforeseen circumstances.

Housing inventory levels in Florida have seen a significant increase recently after years of extremely tight supply. Here are some key points about the rising inventory situation in Florida’s housing market:
- Sharp inventory rise: According to data from Florida Realtors, the inventory of active listings in Florida was up over 85% year-over-year in March 2023. This translates to around 4-5 months’ supply of homes for sale in many markets, compared to 1-2 months during the pandemic frenzy.
- Seller influx: More homeowners in Florida are listing their properties for sale, driven by factors like the desire to cash in on high home prices, concerns about missing the peak of the market, or life changes necessitating a move.
- New construction impact: An increase in new home construction over the past couple of years is also contributing to higher inventory levels across different price points.
- Investor selling: Real estate investors who bought properties during the housing boom are now offloading some of their holdings in anticipation of a market cooldown.
- Regional variations: While inventory is up statewide, the increase is more pronounced in some areas like Tampa, Orlando, and Miami, compared to others like Jacksonville.
- Price adjustments: With more choices for buyers, properties that are overpriced or less desirable are sitting longer on the market, prompting some sellers to reduce asking prices.
- Moderating sales: Higher mortgage rates and economic uncertainty have led to a moderation in home sales activity, further contributing to inventory buildup.
The surge in housing inventory in Florida provides more options for buyers who had been frustrated by the intense competition and lack of available homes during the pandemic boom years. However, it also signals a market shift that real estate investors and sellers need to navigate carefully.

As a multi-state MLO based in Utah, I am always looking for indicators in other states to predict what may be around the corner and what states I should focus my ad dollars in. Florida has been a great revenue generator for me over the past three years. I feel Florida will be a great place to stay focused in the next five years. That is why I hired my first MLO to the F1 Mortgage Team in Florida. FOMO (Fear of Losing Out) seems to be motivating out-of-state buyers to take a hard look at income properties in the state as well as people moving from other states to get in on the relative “good deals” in Florida as new residents of the Sunshine state. Employment opportunities in the state and work-from-home scenarios are making Florida very attractive to people who would never have looked at the state as a possible home 10 years ago.
If you are an MLO looking for new ground, I would suggest Florida. The state of Florida is massive and can benefit from quality MLOs looking to plant their MLO flag in the state. If you speak Spanish, the further South you prospect, the better.
