Ep #100: The Trump Effect – What’s Next for the Economy?

Today I’m excited to interview CFP, author, and radio host Jerry Tuma about a topic we’re all eager to understand – what the new Trump administration will mean for the economy.

Jerry is the founder and president of Cornerstone Financial Services. He’s also the host of Smart Money Radio, where he talks about economics, real estate, and finance in the U.S. and around the world.

Jerry and I talk about what the incoming Trump presidency might look like for real estate and the economy as a whole. He offers some predictions about what the stock market and interest rates in the U.S. will be doing in the next 18 – 24 months, and we discuss the ripple effects on other markets in Europe and elsewhere. Jerry also offers his thoughts on real estate investment, and whether or not real estate will take a hit anytime soon.

There’s tons of fascinating and potentially rewarding information in this episode – tune in below!
