494: Do You WANT to Retire? What is Retirement?

3/25/2024
Get our free real estate course and newsletter: GRE Letter Time, health, and money are three key resources in your life. Learn about their trade-offs. “It’s not at what age I want to retire, it’s at what income.” -George Foreman I discuss at least three definitions of retirement: 1-The time of life when one permanently chooses to leave the workforce. 2-To remove from service. 3-When you become job-optional. 4-When you stop doing mandatory income-producing activities. Social security, pensions, 401(k)s, and residual income from real estate and stocks are all discussed. Compound interest is faulty. Compound leverage can help you retire young. “After the first $2M-$3M, a paid off home, and a good car, there is no difference in the quality of life between you and Jeff Bezos.” We discuss. I briefly cover the antitrust case against the NAR, making the 5-6% commission paid by the seller largely a thing of the past. Rents are up 2% annually, the biggest gain in thirteen months, per Redfin. Learn 15 reasons why single-family rentals beat apartments. I discuss two specific addresses—one in Memphis and one in Little Rock. Our Investment Coaches help you free with these and other income properties and your strategy at GREmarketplace.com.

493: Why the Fed Should NOT Lower Rates, Spartan Summit Presentation

3/18/2024
Get our free real estate course and newsletter: GRE Letter I state the reasons why I DON’T believe that the Federal Open Market Committee should lower interest rates. Rates are currently normalized. Watch the full Spartan Summit Presentation here. The first half is played on this episode. President Biden is trying to help the housing market’s poor affordability and undersupply. Fed Chair Jerome Powell made recent remarks on the real estate market. He emphasized the lack of supply. High rates = strong economy Low rates = weak economy Lowering interest rates to zero is artificial and introduces distortions in an economy. If we have a recession, we need “rate cut ammo” in order to make cuts at that time. Lowering rates also sets up an inflationary environment. That’s bad for society, but leveraged income property investors benefit. A “Fed pivot” means that the FOMC changes from raising rates to lowering rates, or vice versa.

492: Inflation is an Immoral Force

3/11/2024
Get our free real estate course and newsletter: GRE Letter Learn why inflation helps dishonest people and harms honest ones. I use an example of a honeymaker.

488: Why Does Bitcoin Have Any Value?

2/12/2024
Learn the pros and cons of bitcoin, the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Bitcoin can be moved well across space and time. You can’t move dollars over time due to inflation; you can’t move gold over space due to weight and security concerns. Real estate, bitcoin, and gold are all scarce and take real-world resources to produce. Bitcoin is a global digital currency that’s decentralized. Nick Giambruno joins us to discuss why bitcoin has value today. Since there can only be 21 million bitcoin, it cannot be debased like dollars are. By April, bitcoin will experience a halving. Rather than 900 new bitcoins brought into issuance daily, there will be 450. The SEC’s recent Spot EFT approval will give more investors bitcoin access. The higher the stock-to-flow ratio, the harder the asset. What about governments shutting down bitcoin, regulating it, or taxing it to death? We discuss. Bitcoin price volatility is a problem in currency adoption. Lots of energy is used in bitcoin mining. But much of it is stranded energy. Bitcoin cannot produce income. Keith Weinhold stresses his preferred way to hold bitcoin.

486: Should We Eliminate the Property Tax? Featuring Tom Wheelwright

1/29/2024
California is strengthening protections for tenants. I discuss. It’s already a disadvantageous state for real estate investors. My Property Manager had my tenant’s $1,550 rent payment stolen from his drop box last year. He expects me to take the loss. I won’t.

479: How Inflation is Ravaging America

12/11/2023
A crying, sniffling mother reveals how inflation is ravaging her family. Despite a two-parent income, she tells us that they're trending toward poverty due to wages that struggle to cover inflated prices. For home prices to fall, many homeowners need to walk away. But if they tried that today, they’d have to pay more in rent than they would on their low mortgage payment. It’s absurd to only have one source of income. 401(k)s are considered a scam by some. I explain. Plan participants buy an income stream “probably later”. Real assets that cash flow provide income “surely now”. There’s no such thing as: rent inflation, food inflation, or energy inflation. Inflation comes from the central bank. One dollar in 1776 has the purchasing power of $35.36 today. The worst consequence of inflation is that one parent could work to be middle class in the 1950s. It became two by the 1990s. After the 2020s inflation wave, two parents might not be enough anymore. I explain why the Fed should keep interest rates the same for at least one year. But I doubt that they will.

478: The Corporate Transparency Act is Coming. It Probably Affects You.

12/4/2023
If you own a real estate entity (like an LLC), the new Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) must be complied with soon. I have my own attorneys on the show to discuss this today, Garrett and Ted Sutton. You must report ownership information to the federal government. It must only be done one-time, not annually. The penalties for non-compliance with the CTA can be as high as $10,000 in fines or up to 2 years in jail. Those penalties would be for the most egregious acts. The intent behind the CTA is to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing. If you don’t own real estate in an LLC, you probably won’t need to comply. There are pros and cons of using LLCs, which I discuss. For help complying with the CTA, you can contact Corporate Direct at CorporateDirect.com or (800) 600-1760.

475: Why Settle for 5%? How to Obtain 10-12% High Yield Returns.

11/13/2023
I don’t keep much money in a savings account, money market account, or treasury bonds. They only pay 5% interest. Instead, I get 10-12% cash returns and semi-liquidity by private lending on real estate and operations with Freedom Family Investments. My guest, the company CEO, Dani Lynn Robison and I discuss how it works. They’re a family of 7 real estate-centric companies. They pay me 10-12% on a loan that I make to them that funds their real estate and business operations. You can too. It’s called their Master Note. Text FAMILY to 66866. These private lending programs have just a $25K minimum, accredited and non-accredited, returns up to 12%. Rather than getting in on the equity side here, which is usual, you’re getting in on the debt side. This way, you’re more liquid than when you buy property yourself. We discuss 3 vital investor questions: Who do you trust? Where do you begin? What’s the best path for you? Dani Lynn & I discuss a good investor outcome. We also discuss how when things went wrong, the investor/lender still got completely repaid. I can personally tell you that they’ve always paid me on-time and in full. Some people don’t like to share where they personally invest, but this could really help you. Vocabulary terms explained: financial runway, demand depositor, time depositor, vertical integration. If a high-yield passive return of 10-12% sounds interesting to you, text FAMILY to 66866.
