Even with talk of a cooling housing market, prices are still high, and inventory is still low. If you’re looking for a good deal, what are you supposed to do?

This week we’re going to find out how to find a great real estate deal no matter the market.

As usual, co-hosts Stacy Johnson and Miranda Marquit are joined by producer Aaron Freeman. Today’s special guest is Mindy Jensen from the real estate investing and education website BiggerPockets.

Remember, even though we sometimes talk about specific investments on this show, don’t take them as recommendations because they’re not. Before investing in anything, do your own research, and make your own decisions.
