Creating Wealth Real Estate Investing with Jason Hartman

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 560, originally published in August 2015.

If you are in control of your life your kids do not talk back to you, you tell the waiter your food is subpar and you believe in every single word you say. If the aforementioned doesn’t ring true for you then you need to “grow a pair” and get your house in order. If you decide not to tell someone they are stealing your time and money at your business then by default you are condoning it. Larry believes you are providing people a service by telling them the truth. They need to experience the failure and the pain in order to allow them to learn from their mistakes. Keeping quiet doesn’t help anybody. 

Key Takeaways:

[4:56] Is this the beginning of the economic meltdown

Larry Winget Interview:

[8:07] Entitlement is the biggest enemy to our society

[8:59] People need stronger opinions and need to stand up for them

[9:44] Living on the edge is what gets one into history books

[10:50] The “I have a pair” test

[12:50] If you want to do the other party a service speak up about crappy service

[13:54] Peale’s “ruined by praise than saved by criticism” quote

[14:57] Ground your opinion and refuse to create drama

[16:14] I provoke people on purpose 

[17:33] Which is better having rabid fans or rabid enemies

[19:35] I can count on my haters, they buy my products 

[20:28] Numbness is a caused by a of lack of confidence in a speaker's’ faith in what they say 

[21:51] Businesses can grow a pair by refusing to tolerate thieves or 20% of their employees

[23:27] We expect more out of our government than we expect out of ourselves 

[25:21] Being in the middle is a safe place but it’s no fun

[27:12] Honest and open communication isn’t welcome in a world of political correctness

[28:44] I respect all opinions on my social media page 

[30:38] It’s not about changing somebody else it’s always about yourself

Jason Hartman starts today's episode from Germany, on his way back to the land of capitalism, and he couldn't be happier. After nearly a month in Europe seeing the effects of socialism, Jason's ready to get back to the land where people are more motivated and innovation is more apparent. When governments get involved in picking the winners and losers, nothing good comes out of it, and Jason wants to see America avoid the fate of Europe.

Then Jason finishes his interview with Dr. Nima Sanandaji, originally begun in episode 1028. The two wrap up the interview discussing where the ideas for Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand" really came from, how the Nordic society actually ended up being socialist (and why it doesn't work in the places it's being tried now), and the dangers of government growth.

Key Takeaways:

[2:48] Things in Europe are smaller and not as good of quality. We shouldn't become more like Europe, Europe should become more like the USA

[5:54] The government needs to get out of the business of picking winners and losers

Dr Nima Sanandaji Interview:

Jason Hartman starts off the show from Croatia discussing the difference in investing when there are private companies involved versus when the government is involved. With private companies you know what you're going to get, they're going to follow supply & demand and try to maximize profits. With governments, however, they're much more of a wild card, which can make successfully investing more difficult.

Then Jason talks with Bill Janeway, an active venture capitalist, director of Magnet Systems and O'Reilly Media, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Cambridge in America, and author of the recently revised and updated book Doing Capitalism in the Innovation Economy. The two discuss the 3 player game and the government's role on both the supply and demand side of the market, the digital revolution and the coming green revolution.

Key Takeaways:

[2:53] You can predict what private companies will do pretty easily, the government is a wild card

[6:39] An invitation to Profits in Paradise in Hawaii

Bill Janeway Interview:

[9:32] How the thesis of the 3 player game came about

[13:29] There are markets that need government pushing the supply side of things for driving innovation, but sometimes the government even needs to be on the demand side, adding income to support the economy

[17:22] If the government hadn't jumped in on the demand side in the 2009 recession history has shown us what would have happened

[19:26] Wherever there's a market for assets there will be bubbles

[25:10] Why the digital revolution made Bill extend his book

Jason Hartman has a solo episode today as he explores some recent news stories and examines a few items of the day. Venturing all over the topics, Jason mulls over why it's pretty common for the most popular economists to have the worst economic ideas (a la Karl Marx) and why the best economic ideas have the most disliked economists. Which leads to the question, what stupid ideas are we as a society embracing today?

He also discusses the Supreme Court ruling that will somewhat level the field of retail as online retailers are now able to be taxed by the states, giving at least some form of a light at the end of the tunnel for retailers.

Other topics of the day include the cost of terrorist protection, technology vs inflation, preventing identity theft, and the potential beginning of the demise of a massively overvalued (in Jason's mind) company.

Key Takeaways:

[4:54] The economists who present the best economic views are not the most popular

[7:39] What totally stupid ideas are we embracing as a society today?

[13:08] One massively overvalued publicly traded company today

[16:39] The tax field was significantly leveled last week

[21:14] The battling forces of inflation and technology

[24:22] Why you need to shred EVERYTHING with a cross cut shredder

[26:45] If you can geoarbitrage, make a conscious choice to live in a higher quality location with a lower cost of living and low or no state income tax

Jason’s guest, Brian is a client and a longtime Creating Wealth Podcast listener. Brian describes his early days of real estate investing when Sara initially walked him through the buying process. The properties he purchased in Atlanta and Memphis have now matured and Brian is faced with making a decision. Should he refi-til-ya-die or to do a 1031 exchange and get 2 for 1 on his highly appreciated properties.

[19:52] Dr. David recently did a 1031 Exchange and then purchased four properties in Orlando.

[21:34] There are two ways to diversify a real estate portfolio. One is location and the other is through cash flow and appreciation.

[23:25] The 1031 Exchange allows for only 45 days for identifying properties but up to six months to close.

[26:08] It’s frustrating more people, doctors in particular, aren’t investing in real estate. It’s an absolute no-brainer.  

[32:16] Local community banks will provide financing to investors after they reach their traditional property limit.

[38:24] Is it feasible to do a cash out refinance if you can get a sizable amount of cash?

[40:27] The deferred down payment option offered a nine-year break even point.

[43:25] Equity stripping is pulling the money out of a property, having control of the cash and still own the property.

One of the most important, and most visible, components of investing is interest rates, and there are some absolutely critical things you need to remember about them.

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 302, originally published in February 2013.

Jason Hartman is joined on this episode by Steve Forbes, the editor in chief of Forbes Media, to propose and attempt to answer the question:  Why does government get bigger and bigger when we know it doesn’t work well? Mr. Forbes states that history proves free markets work for the people, while big and over-reaching government is about meeting its own needs.

In his book, Freedom Manifesto: Why Free Markets Are Moral and Big Government Isn’t, coauthored with Elizabeth Ames, the authors delve into historic events and statistics, showing that in every instance, big government promotes favoritism, stifles economic growth, dumbs down education, and creates an atmosphere of “rigidity and scarcity.” At the same time, it opens the door to corruption.

Mr. Forbes discusses the benefits of economic freedom, which promotes creativity and growth. Jason and Mr. Forbes also talk about current economic issues, including the bubbles that the Fed continues to create in the bond market and housing. “When government undermines money, bad things happen,” laments Mr. Forbes. “When government says it’s here to help, watch out!”

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 176, originally published in July 2010.

Jason provides a unique commentary on the gulf oil spill, firing your investment property manager, buy and hold investing. Following the monologue, Jason talks with Steve Dexter about his book Real Estate Debt Can Make You Rich and long term investing. Housing and commercial property prices the lowest they’ve been in nearly a decade, this classic real estate investment guide is timelier than ever. Dr. Schumacher, who passed away in 2006, found that the way to a lifetime of financial security was to buy smart and never sell, and he built a $20 million fortune using his own savvy advice. The book, updated by Steve Dexter (an expert commentator for CNN/Money, CBS Radio and Fox TV), reveals step-by-step investment techniques that can work in the midst of a slow real estate market or a booming one for first-time buyers or seasoned investors, and for buyers of single-family residences, apartment buildings or shopping.

Steve's latest book is Buy and Hold Forever- How to Build Wealth for the 21st Century, one he co-wrote with the late Dr. Schumacher who was known as the ‘pope” of real estate investing. His first book Real Estate Debt Can Make You Rich published by McGraw-Hill, was rated one of the top 5 real estate books of the year by Bob Bruss, a nationally syndicated columnist of the Washington Post Media Group. Steve’s second book is Beat the Banks-Prospering in the Rising Wave of Bank Foreclosures. He has been a distinguished speaker at the Harvard Business School, Harvard Law School and their Graduate School of Design and has mentored many of their students about entrepreneurship and real estate investing. He also has spoken at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Business Management located in Chicago. He is also a member and speaker of NAREE (National Association of Real Estate Editors), a professional group of authors and major newspaper journalists who write about the national real estate market.

It's time to take another deep look into rates and ways to finance your properties. Jason talks to lender Aaron about what's going on in regards to rates today, how it's been changing in the last few months, and where to expect it to go in the future.

The two discuss how higher interest rates don't necessarily mean your investments can't make sense. Higher rates also mean more write offs on your taxes, plus your tenant is still paying your debts. So you might have lower cash flow, but it can still be a great investment that gets better over time with your locked in rate.

Key Takeaways:

[2:10] You must, you must, you MUST (promise me you will) get a home inspection

[4:52] There are events coming up on the East coast and in Hawaii, so figure out if you can make them tax deductible!

[10:51] Every new regulation requires someone be hired to make sure the lenders are adhering to it, which raises costs

[12:48] What kind of rates can you get today with 20% down?

[16:02] Are people still taking out adjustable rate morgages for investment properties?

[18:48] You need to get your mindeset right when it comes to your real estate business. It's not always strictly about the cash flow

[24:34] The inverse correlation between bonds and rates

[26:35] The best strategy ever is to lock in as many 30 year fixed rates as possible
