Realtors as Employees, a MASSIVE Foreclosure, and 3D Printed Homes

Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed šŸ§‘ā€āš–ļø what is known as the PRO Act, a bill 🧾which aims šŸŽÆ to empower unions in the 27 ā€œright to workā€ states and impose the Dynamex ABC šŸ”¤ test regarding independent contractor status on the country šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø as a whole.


For years, spec developer Nile Niami has teased ā€œThe Oneā€ 1ļøāƒ£ — a 100,000-square-foot mega-mansion ā›²ļø in Bel-Air 🌓 that he hoped to sell for $500 million. But his plans are now in peril 😱. Niami, known for his brazen personality and wildly ambitious real estate projects, borrowed $82.5 million from Hankey Capital in 2018 to build the extravagant home šŸÆ. Over the last three years, that debt has ballooned šŸŽˆ to more than $110 million, and Hankey wants its money šŸ’ø.


There's the obvious price tag šŸ· of purchasing a place to live, but houses always come with surprising 😲 costs like repairs 🪚 or down payments. But specific amenities can make homes more expensive to buy in the first place. Insider spoke to an expert about the features that can make a house šŸ” cost more on the market - from location to appliances 🚽 - as well as about how potential buyers can save money šŸ¤‘ as they search šŸ•µļøā€ā™€ļø for their dream house.


Prices for new homes are on the rise šŸŒ…. But there's a new kind of home going on the market that some say could change that trend, reports CBS News' Michael George in Calverton, New York. 3D šŸ•¶ printed houses —partially built by a robotic 🦾 construction šŸ— system that stacks layers upon layers of concrete 🧱 from the ground up to create the framework for a new home — are transforming the speed šŸŽ and cost šŸ’° at which houses are being developed and sold.
