Anthony specializes in housing finance and macroeconomic policy.\xa0 They\u2019re both braniacs, so we ask them for their thoughts on the economy - and at first blush, it looks bad.\xa0 But after digging a little deeper, we wrap up pretty excited about the opportunities for real estate investors today.\xa0 Take a listen!\xa0 The Real Estate Guys\u2122 radio show provides real estate investing news, education, training and resources to help real estate investors succeed.\xa0 Learn more and subscribe to the free newsletter at www.realestateguysradio.com
