☆ Couple had $18 in the bank when they started their company—now they have millions in revenue and a $400,000 'Shark Tank' deal

When James and Johanna Windon launched Buena Papa two years ago, they had just $18 in their bank account. Now, they bring in millions of dollars in annual revenue across three North Carolina restaurant locations, they said on Friday's episode of ABC's "Shark Tank" — during which they landed a $400,000 investment offer from millionaire entrepreneur Robert Herjavec. Despite no prior restaurant experience, the pair "invested our life savings [of] $40,000," leaving just $18 behind, James said. Mark Cuban opted out, citing the difficulty of simultaneously operating restaurant locations and overseeing any number of franchisees. That left Robert Herjavec, who offered the Windons $400,000 for 20% of Buena Papa.

☆ Mortgages will remain sky-high in 2024, pushing existing home sales to a 3-decade low, Goldman Sachs says
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-23 | by ( Filip De Mott | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Mortgage rates will stay high through 2024, dipping to just under 7% at year-end, Goldman Sachs forecasts. This will keep homeowners off the market, and the housing turnover rate will fall to its lowest since the 1990s. Higher rates will also mean more moderate price growth, with a 1.3% year-on-year rise expected in 2024. AdvertisementAdvertisementThough housing starts are usually sensitive to mortgage rates themselves, Goldman has previously found that this relationship weakens if homeowner vacancy rates are low. The below-trend level will follow an estimated 3.4% price increase for 2023 — though the current rate is higher, Goldman expects prices to turn negative into the year-end.

Mortgage rates at 8% have sidelined a good portion of the competition. High mortgage rates are the new normalThat message doesn't appear to be getting through to prospective homebuyers, who have made themselves scarce as mortgage rates have continued their steady rise in 2023.

That could cause mortgage rates to ease around 100 basis-points next year, dropping as low as 7%.

The US may send the Army Tactical Missile System to Ukraine, two officials told ABC News. The US has long been reluctant to send ATACMS, also known as the Army Tactical Missile System. Ben Hodges, a retired US general, previously told Insider that ATACMS would allow Ukraine to reach targets beyond Russia's defensive line and destroy headquarters and logistics sites. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has long argued that his forces need the ATACMS to fight Russia. The US has resisted granting ATACMS to Ukraine, worrying that Russia's President Vladimir Putin could escalate the conflict.

Excerpts from recent editorials in the United States and abroad:Aug. 31The Washington Post on sexism in the U.S. militaryNearly eight years ago, the United States opened up all military combat roles to women, clearing a pathway for female service members to join the most elite military forces. Women at multiple military bases reported that other soldiers would bang on their doors in the middle of the night. Even a program that once represented the highest ideals of the United States — its compassion, its expertise and its resources — is becoming a casualty of the country’s most destructive and divisive forces.

In June, she suggested home prices could jump as much as 20% once interest rates drop by two percentage points.

M. Evan Corcoran, a lawyer who accompanied former President Donald J. Trump to court this week for his arraignment on charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election, has given crucial evidence in Mr. Trump’s other federal case — the one accusing him of illegally hoarding classified documents. Another lawyer close to Mr. Trump, Boris Epshteyn, sat for an interview with prosecutors this spring and could be one of the former president’s co-conspirators in the election tampering case. And Mr. Epshteyn’s lawyer, Todd Blanche, is defending Mr. Trump against both the documents and election case indictments. The legal team that Mr. Trump has assembled to represent him in the twin prosecutions by the special counsel, Jack Smith, is marked by a tangled web of potential conflicts and overlapping interests — so much so that Mr. Smith’s office has started asking questions.
