Jason Hartman starts off the show talking with Elisabeth Embry about how she makes her 5-year plans, and why it's important. The 5-year plan contest is still going on, and you can win great prizes and set your future up for success by making one and sharing it with others.

Then, Jason continues his conversation with former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul. The two finish up their talk by looking at why the government thinks they're the best option for many aspects in our lives, what would happen if the government got out of the way and prices reverted to normal (rather than the distorted view we're getting today), and why we shouldn't expect to see inflation curbed in the near future (or ever, more likely).

Key Takeaways:

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 563, from September 2015.

If you are using your buy and hold properties as short term rentals, through a company like AirBnB,  you may be required to pay an additional 15.3% self employment tax. Although it may seem like a gray area to you, the IRS considers it an active business and will take note of which schedule you are filing. Short term rentals require more of your labor and your time which rarely gets accounted for when calculating costs. Considering all the aspects of short term rentals versus long term buy and hold properties will shield you from future surprises.

Key Takeaways

Jason’s Editorial:

[2:04] The huge flaw in Airbnb

[3:10] The passing of Dr. Wayne Dyer

[19:01] It’s more time and labor intensive than a buy and hold property

[21:50] A complicated scenario in setting up short term rentals

[24:49] Short term rentals may earn more but the time is not factored in

[25:45] Schedule E or Schedule C?

[27:47] The IRS may be bringing on the audits

[29:33] A 5 year depreciation schedule

[31:05] The diminimous safe harbor

Jason Hartman starts off this 10th episode with a look into the "tulip bubble" in cryptocurrencies that he's afraid is going to explode.

If you want an early peak into a respected year end review, then you need to listen to what Professor David Collum has to tell Jason Hartman. The two discuss the dangerous situation that's being created by entities like the Fed and our own government that will lead to disasterous implications. The problem is, nobody knows when the can will be allowed to stop. We've been able to stave it off for years now, but the bill will come due at some point.

The two also look into the idea of "free speech" on college campuses and how to solve the intolerance shown by the left in that regard, as well as why Warren Buffett continues to lie about the equity market.

Key Takeaways:

Jason Hartman Monologue:

[3:06] The 5 Year Contest entry website and why you should do it

[7:22] The prizes available for the contest range from Meet the Masters admission to a Venture Alliance Mastermind weekend to an Amazon Echo

David Collum Interview:

[13:56] The merits of price gouging, and why price gouging laws are destructive

[17:00] The issue of free speech on college campuses, and whether it actually exists today

[21:31] If you want to solve the issue with students shouting down speakers, the administrators need to grow a backbone and punish the violators

[24:49] The metrics that show if equities are overpriced are fraudulent

[27:00] David is looking at a 50-70% reduction in the equities market

[30:10] What would happen to the economy if the Fed actually raised rates to something like 4%, and why it's a completely different world than when Voelker gave the economy its "hard medicine"

[34:00] Warren Buffett is a massive insider who likes to lie about the state of the market

The Trump Tax Plan that is being considered by Congress has been getting a whole lot of bad press. But is it really that bad compared to what we have right now?

Laurence Kotlikoff, William Fairfield Warren Professor at Boston University and President of Economic Security Planning, Inc, talks with Jason Hartman about what kind of impact the plan will actually have on the economy, why his model is different from many of the others, what we need to do to get the economy stimulated and rolling again, and what changes it would bring for real estate investors.

Over the past few years, investment properties have become harder and harder to get a really good deal, but there are still solid investments available. You just have to be willing to shift your mindset away from what you could have gotten 5, 10, 15 years ago.

You're being presented with the ability to have someone put $100+ in your bank account for the next 30 years, for the price of a down payment (around $20,000), not even taking into account all the other tax benefits you'll receive.

Jason Hartman and Sara, his investment counselor, talk about what's going on in the investment property market, the importance of a long term plan, and why cash flow can ease concerns of high interest rates.

Key Takeaways:

[3:55] The relative scarcity of real estate is why values continue to go up (and will continue to)

[7:49] The marketplace is the marketplace, and we must adjust our expectations in accordance with reality

[9:31] How real estate investors who have been doing it for 10+ years are adjusting their expectations for properties

"On no other asset class can you get such phenomenal financing, because income property is so secure"

[14:59] Investors are having to invest in multiple markets due to low inventory availability

Massive shifts in the world economy are coming and may be as soon as 2020.

Jason Hartman talks on how much he hates seeing people being ripped off in Las Vegas casinos and how casinos hurts the local economy more than helps it.

Joe has accumulated over 9 properties in five different markets and he shares to the audience why he chose real estate to achieve financial independence.

Sunday night in Las Vegas shook the town and, tragically, saw the loss of life to over 50 and caused injuries to over 400 participants at the Route91 Christian Music Festival. The deranged gunman who fired at them was shooting from the Mandalay Bay hotel, where Jason Hartman happened to be attending a meeting.

Jason took some time Monday evening to reflect on his experience as the realization dawned on him, and the other meeting attendees, that someone was shooting at people on the ground. He also talks to his friend, Larry, who stayed at the meeting a little longer and ended up being locked into the hotel and having to spend the night in the meeting room. Larry tells about the scare they received in the room, how the situation was handled, and when he was allowed to leave.

[1:13] Hearing the gunshots from the balcony of the meeting room, and the slow realization that something was horribly wrong
