Jason Hartman starts today's episode discussing how real estate makes you think in ways counter to our every day life. Large money has difficulty breaking in to residential real estate because there's no such thing as a bulk discount in real estate. He also talks about what's going to cause upward pressure on rents.

Then Jason plays the first half of his recent webinar where he discusses the (lack of) national housing market, the 3 different types of markets, some issues he sees in the economy, and the impact of technology on inflation today.
