Senior Real Estate Economist for U.S. News & World Report to Join MoneyShow Virtual Expo on August 19

The Session Topic: “Real Estate Challenges and Opportunities Under Trump 2.0”

LONG BEACH, CA, UNITED STATES, August 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Patrick S. Duffy, who frequently contributes to U.S. News as a Senior Real Estate Economist and leads consulting for MetroIntelligence Real Estate and Economic Advisors in Southern California, has confirmed that he will be joining next week’s MoneyShow Virtual Expo focused on “Real Estate Plays for Profit and Income.” Registration for the expo is free.

Duffy’s session will take place online on Tuesday, August 19 from 11:10 am to 11:40 am Pacific DT/2:10 pm to 2:40 pm Eastern DT.

Entitled “Real Estate Challenges and Opportunities Under Trump 2.0”, he will review the overall economic climate, tariffs and the recently passed "Big Beautiful Bill" as they apply to various real estate sectors for both residential and commercial land uses and to answer the following questions:
• For residential investors, what needs to happen for the for-sale housing market to rebound?
• How are reduced sales and low affordability impacting the rental market?
• For commercial investors, what are the opportunities in various non-residential sectors?
• When might we expect some interest rate relief from the Federal Reserve, how does it see tariffs impacting inflation, and what could that mean for real estate investors?

“Both the overall national economy and real estate markets are in real flux lately with rising levels of uncertainty,” says Duffy. “Firstly, I plan to ‘set the stage’ on where we’re at in the economy and various real estate markets and where we seem to be headed. Secondly, while the impacts from emerging policies under the second Trump Administration on real estate markets are still largely unknown, the recently passed ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ does include numerous changes which will impact owners and investors. And thirdly, where should attendees be focusing their attention to protect and maximize their own investment dollars? It should be a fast-paced 30-minute session, so besides taking notes, attendees are welcome to keep up to date with my work for U.S. News as well as connecting with me on LinkedIn.”
