Season 3, Episode 1: ValuNation Comeback Episode
“Thought They’d Canceled Us?”
Charlie & Schwartz break podcast hibernation with:
- AL-Central bragging rights – Royals, Tigers & Guard-Indians payroll < Yankees.
- Crop-top confessions – 6-pack nostalgia + MLB logo nostalgia.
- Hurricane reality – Helene fallout & Hurricane Milton warnings; how that triggers appraisal “disaster inspections” (CDAIRs).
Mortgage / Real-Estate Mini-Masterclass
- Disaster Inspections 101
- FEMA designates counties → lenders order CDAIRs.
- Interior/exterior depends on wind vs. flood.
- Need help? Email cdair@nationwideamc.com.
- STR Pro Ad-Break (because we’re fancy now)
- 1007 rent form ≠ Airbnb analysis.
- NPAS’s proprietary STR Pro solves short-term-rental income headaches.
- Info: sales@nationwideamc.com.
- Fed-Rate Myth-busting
- Fed funds cut ≠ instant 30-yr-fixed cut.
- Banks price ahead of meetings; maybe 25–50 “bips” already baked in.
- Inventory + NAR settlement = buyers gain leverage; talk to real pros, not TikTok.

Conversation Cheat-Sheet
TL;DR – Comeback Episode Nuggets
- AL-Central memes > Yankees money.
- CDAIR disaster inspections spike after FEMA declarations.
- STR Pro = proprietary Airbnb rent schedule form (cue Jordan’s sponsorship dollars).
- Fed cuts are pre-priced; 5% mortgage nirvana will unleash inventory wars—get pre-approved now.
- October = NPAS everywhere (Vegas, Philly, Austin, VB…).
