369 These Numbers Are Crazy. Real Estate vs Cost Of College | Daily Show Up

In today's episode of Daily Show Up Darin delves into a different topic - real estate, college expenses, and investing in the stock market. Darin analyzed the numbers from different perspectives and drew some intriguing conclusions. Join Darin as he explores the data and discovers surprising insights.

1. Real Estate Appreciation:

In Q4 1981, the average cost of a single-family home was $83,700.
Fast forward to Q1 2023, the average price of a home reached $516,500.
This translates to a 4.54% appreciation rate over 41 years, suggesting real estate's steady growth.

2. College Expenses Soar:

Comparing college costs between 1981 and 2022 reveals a significant increase.

3. Real Estate vs. Inflation:

Real estate is often considered a safe investment, staying ahead of inflation rates.
Over the last 41 years, the average inflation rate was 3.8% per year

4. S&P 500: A Strong Contender:

The S&P 500 has outperformed real estate with an 11.29% rate of return since 1981.

After analyzing the data, it becomes evident that real estate continues its steady growth over the years, aligning closely with inflation rates. Although the S&P 500 boasts a higher rate of return, real estate's leveraging advantage makes it a strong investment option. On the other hand, college expenses have skyrocketed, raising questions about the value of a college education and the burden of student debt. Ultimately, investors must consider these factors carefully to make informed financial decisions.

368 Who Are Comparing Yourself To | Daily Show Up

In this episode, Darin shares a touching experience with Morgan that prompts reflection on self-perception and the impact of comparing oneself to a past version.

Darin recounts a moment with his daughter, Morgan, who expressed admiration for him as strangers seemed to genuinely like him during their outings. This perspective took Darin by surprise, as he hadn't seen himself as exceptionally friendly. Delving deeper, he realized that his perception of himself had been influenced by comparing his current, more introverted self to his past, extroverted persona. This episode encourages listeners to reconsider self-comparisons and appreciate their present selves for who they've become.

Unexpected Compliments: Morgan admired the way strangers responded positively to Darin, highlighting how others may perceive us differently than we see ourselves.
Comparing Past and Present: Reflecting on his past extroverted self, Darin realized he had been comparing his current introverted nature unfairly, missing the value in his present traits.
Adapting to Change: Over time, Darin adapted his behavior in response to perceived shifts in social interactions, learning to mirror and match others' energy.
The Power of Perspective: Morgan's perspective on Darin shows the impact loved ones' views can have on self-esteem and self-identity.
Embrace the Present Self: This episode encourages listeners to appreciate and celebrate their current selves, acknowledging the changes and adaptations that have shaped them.

Through his daughter's eyes, Darin gained a new appreciation for his present self, realizing that his past and present versions both have value. Embrace the unique and adapted person you are today, and remember that others may see you in a more positive light than you may think.

367 Solo Real Estate Agents Probably Won’t Make It | Daily Show Up

In this episode, we dive into a thought-provoking post by Jimmy Mackin, CEO and co-founder of Curaytor, a real estate platform. Jimmy raises the question of whether it's risky for independent solo agents with less than three years of experience to thrive in the current market. We explore the challenges faced by these agents and discuss strategies to overcome them. Join us as we provide insights into the sphere of influence, lead generation services, team partnerships, and the importance of adapting in an evolving real estate landscape.

The Significance of Sphere of Influence:
- Defining the sphere of influence as past clients
- Building a strong sphere of influence takes time and effort, emphasizing the need for long-term relationship building and maintaining positive connections.
Limitations of Traditional Lead Generation Services:
- Jimmy points out that independent solo agents may find themselves priced out of most lead generation services like Zillow or digital agencies due to budget constraints.
- Darin encourages you to explore alternative strategies, such as leveraging cost-effective methods like running targeted campaigns with smaller budgets, aiming for meaningful reach within their target audience.
The Value of Partnering with a Strong Team Lead or Broker:
- Jimmy suggests that independent agents who struggle to make their numbers work should consider partnering with the best team lead or broker in their market.
- Collaborating with a reputable team or brokerage can offer access to established systems, support, and resources, alleviating the burden of handling every aspect of real estate transactions alone.
- Choosing the right team or brokerage aligns with the goal of optimizing marketing efforts and prospecting, allowing agents to focus on nurturing client relationships and closing deals.
Surviving and Thriving in a Challenging Market:
- While some agents might argue that they can thrive independently without a large sphere or paid ads, it's crucial to consider the potential risks and challenges ahead.
- Drawing from personal experience, Darin emphasizes the need for newer agents to remain grounded and open to different techniques and strategies that could help them weather potential market downturns.
- Rather than solely focusing on thriving, agents should prioritize survival and sustainability by preparing for potential economic shifts, fluctuations in interest rates, or unforeseen obstacles that may impact real estate transactions.

In this episode, we explore the challenges faced by independent solo agents with less than three years of experience. We discuss the significance of sphere of influence, limitations of traditional lead generation services, the value of team partnerships, and strategies for survival and adaptation. Join us as we delve into the realities of the real estate market and provide insights to help agents thrive in an ever-changing industry.
