218: Pandemic Economics and the Remote Management Revolution, IIDD Profits, Guest Drew Baker

Jason Hartman discusses the economic "hibernation" triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the Federal Reserve's decision to drop interest rates to zero. He argues that residential real estate remains a stable "center of the universe" while predicting a massive inflationary wave due to government bailouts and currency creation. The program also features guest Drew Baker, who shares practical advice on remote self-management of rental properties using digital tools like Buildium and Hello Sign. Baker emphasizes that maintaining personal relationships with tenants can lead to better property care and long-term lease renewals. Together, they explore how the global crisis is shifting work habits toward the home and creating a unique environment for "pandemic investing."
