This Flashback Friday is from episode 257 published last May 1, 2012. Jason Hartman is joined on this episode by Greg Farrell, author of Crash of the Titans: Greed, Hubris, The Fall of Merrill Lynch, and the Near Collapse of Bank of America, for a discussion of the economic crash and the resulting bailouts, as well as some of the inside dealings with some of the major banks, such as the buyouts by Bank of America. Greg explains how these banks that participated in the buyouts grossly underestimated the depth of problems in their own banks and in those they acquired. Greg relates his research on Merrill Lynch's attempt in the 1980s to become more like Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street banks, which was to their detriment because they lacked the expertise for such business practices, and became involved in and in the middle of many of the scandals of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. Like CitiGroup, they were in over their head. Jason and Greg discuss Wall Street in general and then specific financial groups regarding the recklessness and risky businesses, funds, etc, that they entertained to give the impression of higher rates of returns. As the plot unfolded, large bonuses to CEOs and high-producing brokers came into play, which encouraged an all or nothing attitude toward the company and fostered a “me” attitude versus long-term stability of the company. Greg also talks about what he calls the “Charlotte Mafia,” the clash of company cultures. Greg Farrell is a correspondent for the Financial Times. In January 2009, he broke the news that Merrill Lynch had paid out its 2008 bonuses a month ahead of schedule, in December, even though Merrill was in the process of losing $28 billion for the year, and Bank of America needed an extra $20 billion in taxpayer funds to complete its acquisition of the firm. That story sparked an investigation by New York attorney general Andrew Cuomo.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Jason introduces Home Equity Investments (HEI), a growing industry where companies buy a portion of homeowners' equity, awaiting a future liquidity event like a sale or refinance, without requiring monthly payments. Hartman views this as a significant indicator of institutional investors' bullish outlook on residential real estate, similar to "build-to-rent" trends. He emphasizes that despite market fluctuations, real estate remains a long-term value investment. Hartman is launching his own HEI company and seeks experienced mortgage or HEI professionals to collaborate.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 302, published last February 25, 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!”   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com      

Today Jason covers a few key real estate investing strategies. He emphasizes the importance of leveraging properties with high loan balances for inflation-induced debt destruction and better insurance claim handling. He advises against paying off mortgages, highlighting tax benefits and the "refi till you die" plan. He introduces the concept of a "perpetual motion machine" in real estate, using cash flow from existing properties to acquire more, similar to a leveraged buyout and the "flywheel" effect. He stresses persistence despite challenges, sharing his early struggles and the long-term benefits of income property investing. Then Jason and Les Rubin discuss the critical issues of entitlements, government size, and the tax code in relation to US economic stability. They explore the potential of converting Social Security to private accounts and the challenges of reforming the current entitlement programs, acknowledging the need for public education and a shift in attitude. Lastly, they sounded the alarm about the dangerous economic path the country is on, warning of the potential collapse of the economy and the future consequences for future generations.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 304 published last Mar 6, 2013. Jason talks with investment counselor, Sara, about investor psychology, overcoming obstacles and getting out of our own way.  The smoke-and-mirrors propaganda perpetuated by mainstream media (lamestream media as Sarah Palin says) in reporting the new high in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA).   They almost always fail to distinguish between nominal dollars and real dollars.  Jason illustrates how investors have actually lost money in inflation adjusted dollars and how the Dow has to increase a lot more before investors break even based on the two peaks.  This lie is even worse when one considers how inflation is underreported in the consumer price index (CPI and CPI-U) due to weighting, substitution and hedonics (the hedonic index).  Another misrepresentation is the 'core rate' or 'core inflation' which strips out food and energy because they're too volatile.   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Jason talks about the current state of the housing market, emphasizing that there is no housing crash due to the low number of financially distressed homeowners. He shared updated statistics from the US Census Bureau, indicating that 39.8% of homeowners have no mortgage, and 65% have mortgages at or below 4%. Jason also highlighted the oversupply in the high-end market and encouraged potential buyers to reach out to his investment counselors for opportunities. Jason then finishes his talk with Vince of RE social as they discuss the advantages of single-family homes, highlighting their accessibility and historical stability. While scaling can seem challenging with multiple mortgages, blanket loans exist. Institutional investors demonstrate the scalability of single-family rentals. Diversification across 3-5 markets is recommended for single-family homes, offering a balance between wealth creation through concentration and preservation via diversification. Viewing tenants as "subscribers" in a sticky business model and leveraging financing and tax benefits further solidify single-family income property as a top asset class. #RealEstateInvesting #SingleFamilyHomes #IncomeProperty #RentalProperty #RealEstateTips #InvestmentStrategy #WealthBuilding #PassiveIncome #REI #RealEstateMarket #Diversification #SubscriptionBusiness #TaxBenefits #1031Exchange #HousingMarket #RealEstateExpert #InvestmentProperties #FinancialFreedom #RealEstateForBeginners #MultifamilyInvesting   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 2:32 Why there is housing crash YET 9:17 Join our FREE MASTERCLASS EVERY 2nd Wednesday of the month JasonHartman.com/Wednesday Jason's interview with Vince Rodriguez of RE Social part 2 10:11 Diversity 12:22 The best subscription model in the world 13:32 Share of income, income property and taxes 17:55 Buy or rent? 20:22 Market dynamics and unemployment insurance 28:53 "Everyone has a right to a home"- and you're renting it out!

This Flashback Friday is from episode 298, published last February 4, 2013. On this show, Jason Hartman talks with one of his investment counselors about current events, welcomes a guest caller and also brings to our listening audience the economic outlook from renowned financial expert, John Mauldin.  Mauldin discusses “spending rearrangement”, a restructuring of our country's spending problem and tax code, and how the election outcome influences the direction of that restructuring. The larger the government becomes, the smaller the private sector becomes – not an ideal situation for economic recovery in the U.S. Mauldin gives his insights and the possible scenarios and outcomes that could happen, depending on whether or not the deficit problem is truly solved, touching on investments, job creation, tax issues and trade deficits. John Mauldin is also a New York Times best-selling author and a pioneering online commentator. Each week, over one million readers turn to Mauldin for his penetrating view on Wall Street, global markets and economic history. Mauldin's weekly e-newsletter, Thoughts from the Frontline, was one of the first publications to provide investors with free, unbiased information and guidance.  Today, it is the most widely distributed investment newsletter in the world.

Jason discusses real estate investing, highlighting current market conditions where a slight home sales increase is overshadowed by affordability issues due to higher mortgage rates. He argues that the "in irons" market, characterized by modest price appreciation, benefits rental property owners through steady cash flow and increasing rents due to limited buyer activity. He emphasizes real estate as a multidimensional asset and cautions against non-direct investing, citing risks of fraud, incompetence, and excessive management fees, using a Starbucks CEO's compensation as an example. He promotes direct investment for greater control and wealth building. For today's episode, Jason sits down for an interview with Vince Rodriguez of RE Social podcast. Jason discusses real estate investment strategies, cautioning against relying solely on appreciation in cyclical markets like California due to unpredictable downturns and low cash flow. He advocates for investing in linear markets offering sustainable, long-term growth and consistent cash flow. Jason's company, Empowered Investor, teaches conservative buy-and-hold strategies for turnkey rental properties in vetted markets, emphasizing remote self-management for increased profitability and control. He highlights the benefits of single-family homes as a proven and simple investment.

This Flashback Friday was published last June 17, 2020 on YouTube. Pastor Paula White shares what it is like to advise Donald Trump on faith and explains the President's surprising deep faith that she discovered while working with him for 19 years. Paula gives viewers some advice on how to think about what's occurring in our world, and to reckon with these new changes. She says that God doesn't send these difficult times, but that God does allow us to use these times to become stronger and better. Jason points out that while some people are in a decent place, many others are having a difficult time putting food on the table. Paula responds by saying that she survived abuse and grief, and her books discuss how much that God, therapy, and emotional growth led her out of her darkest moments. She explains that she understands the fear and uncertainty, and discusses ways to help get through it. Paula goes more in-depth on her journey through mental health struggles, how she discovered God, and how she copes with fear and pain now as a believer. Paula discusses her job as a spiritual advisor for President Trump, and how she encourages inclusive spirituality.

Jason shared the sad news of the passing of his beloved dog, Coco, and discussed the current state of the housing market, highlighting the impact of rising mortgage rates and the challenges faced by the construction industry. He discusses the "perfect storm" impacting real estate: spiking mortgage rates, rising construction costs, labor shortages, and reduced inventory due to aging boomers. These factors signal increasing value for rental property owners. Hartman debunks market crash predictions, like exaggerated Phoenix listing data, emphasizing per capita analysis and sustainable investing. He advocates for cash flow properties in markets like TN, AL, FL, and select Phoenix areas over volatile cyclical markets. Learn why sensible, long-term real estate investing prevails.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 312 published last April 10, 2013. Professor Richard Epstein, pioneering Libertarian legal scholar, joins Jason Hartman to explain how income inequality is good for society, but is very dependent on the methods used to produce the best outcome. The current methods our government are attempting to use are causing job losses, it blocks gains in trade, the need for further public assistance increases, which in turn increases taxes, “yet another implicit drain on voluntary transactions,” Richard illustrates. He provides examples to demonstrate the consequences of equality by egalitarian efforts of our government versus voluntary redistribution.  Listen for more details at:  www.JasonHartman.com.    Richard A. Epstein is the inaugural Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at NYU School of Law. He has authored several books, including Design for Liberty: Private Property, Public Administration and the Rule of Law, The Case Against the Employee Free Choice Act, Supreme Neglect: How to Revive the Constitutional Protection of Property Rights, and many more. Richard has written numerous articles on a wide range of legal and interdisciplinary subjects. He has taught courses in administrative law, antitrust law, civil procedure, communications, constitutional law, contracts, corporations, criminal law, employment discrimination law, environmental law, food and drug law, health law and policy, legal history, labor law, property, real estate development and finance, jurisprudence, labor law; land use planning, patents, individual, estate and corporate taxation, Roman Law; torts, and workers' compensation.   He also writes a legal column, the Libertarian, found at http://www.hoover.org/publications/defining-ideas/libertarian-archives, and is a contributor to Ricochet.com and the SCOTUS blog.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com  

Jason announced changes to the podcast schedule and discussed economic trends, particularly in the housing market. He emphasized the importance of adapting to market realities and taking calculated risks in real estate investment. He also covered various aspects of the current economic landscape, including inflation's impact on housing, mortgage market stability, and the potential for future market shifts. Despite persistent interest rates and prices, some homebuyers are entering the market due to life events, realizing they "can't pause their life." This signals buyer capitulation and acceptance of current market realities. While sales volume initially dropped, it has rebounded as people adjust expectations. Younger buyers are increasingly looking at more affordable metros. Low loan-to-value ratios (47% average) provide a significant equity cushion, mitigating risks of a housing crash. Rising construction costs and potential labor shortages due to immigration policies may further impact housing prices. Investing in real estate remains a historically proven and tax-advantaged strategy amidst a long-term housing shortage.

Jason Hartman interviews Bud Conrad, Chief Economist of Casey Research, regarding the geopolitical focal points in our world, funneling these down to how it all affects the United States.

Jason and Rahul Sen Sharma, an expert on indexes from Index (INDXX), discuss global economic shifts, trade wars, and the stock market. His company tracks over $20 billion in index-based assets, aiding companies in creating indexes, ETFs, and funds. He emphasizes focusing on long-term macro trends over daily market noise, highlighting "re-globalization" as a key shift driven by supply chain vulnerabilities and a desire for friendly-shoring and near-shoring. While tariffs may offer short-term benefits to some countries like India and Mexico, the focus should be on transformative trends like EVs, battery tech, renewables, and critical metals for long-term investment. He also touches on the importance of understanding index rulebooks due to performance divergences and addresses concerns about the S&P 500's concentration, suggesting the marketplace will dictate the need for alternative weighting. https://www.indxx.com/ #Indexes #Economy #TradeWar #Tariffs #StockMarket #Globalization #Reglobalization #Friendshoring #Nearshoring #Investment #Finance #ETFs #MarketTrends #Macroeconomics #RahulSenSharma #INDXX Key Takeaways: 1:28 Meet Rahul 2:16 Broad strokes and taking a macro view 5:11 Reglobalization 7:49 Level playing field 9:43 Where do we go from here 13:16 A difference in indexes 16:24 Self-indexing and the active managers 20:50 The big picture perspective   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

This Flashback Friday is from episode 289, published last December 18, 2012. Coming to us from London, Max Keiser joins Jason Hartman for a fast-paced interview about what is going on in our world with GDP, the debt ceiling and debt loads, gold and silver markets, and currency collapse. Max is the host of “The Oracle with Max Keiser” for BBC World News and the author of the Keiser Report.  Jason and Max discuss how long the world governments can put off the inevitable collapse of the fiat money produced by the central banks. Max talks about the various currencies around the world and which countries are set to implode.   Other topics that Max covers are countries that are losing their sovereignty, basically being held hostage and managed by entities outside of their own country, such as the IMF and Central Banks, how bonds play a role in this issue, and the edging toward a global tax. Max talks about the many ways that the world is being led into a globalized currency, which is not a theory, but happening in real time. In addition to hosting the show and authoring the Kesier Report, Max is a blogger for the Huffington Post, and he has also presented features for the “People and Power” new magazine series on Aljazeera English. Max Keiser is the creator, co-founder and former CEO of HSX Holdings/Hollywood Stock Exchange, later sold to Cantor Fitzgerald. He is also the co-founder of HSX films that went on to make almost a dozen films, including "Mixed Signals," "Six-String Samurai," "Dancer, Texas Pop. 81," and "girl." The company was then sold to Ignite Entertainment/Lionsgate. Max designed, scoped, and built the Hollywood Stock Exchange with Michael Burns. Max was awarded a US patent (number 5950176) for the 'Virtual Specialist Technology" on which the Hollywood Stock Exchange operates. He created virtual securities; MovieStocks, and StarBonds and created the first fully convertible virtual currency, the Hollywood Dollar. The Hollywood Stock Exchange remains the highest volume stock exchange in the world.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Jason Hartman explains the multidimensional aspects of real estate investing, including income, depreciation, equity, appreciation, and leverage. He emphasizes the importance of understanding both macro and micro markets when selecting properties. The podcast covers topics like interest rates, rental market trends, and adapting to changing market conditions. Key takeaways include the benefits of fixed-rate mortgages, raising rents annually, and leveraging expert knowledge when investing in different cities. The show also touches on international investing and recommends the book "Revolutionary Wealth" by Alvin and Heidi Toffler for insights on future economic trends affecting real estate. Unlike stocks, bonds, mutual funds or commodities such as precious metals like gold and silver – real estate is a multi-dimensional asset class. The multi-dimensional nature of income property makes it extremely profitable in changing ways based on varying market conditions. This is a wonderful thing because investors can profit even seemingly “bad” markets. For example, when financing becomes expensive (low housing affordability rates) or difficult to qualify for (low capital liquidity) it can create excellent opportunities to increase rents. When mortgage rates are low and qualifying is easy it can spur terrific appreciation. You can win either way so long as you adapt your strategy based on economic realities.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 1140 published last February 28, 2019. Jason Hartman and Adam start off today's show discussing listener Brandon's question about living above or below your means. It's important to keep things in perspective as you're deciding how to live your life because just getting more stuff doesn't necessarily make you happier. Then Jason talks with Robert Greene, author of the new book The Laws of Human Nature as well as New York Times bestsellers like The 48 Laws of Power and The 33 Strategies of War, about how to approach people to put yourself in the best position for success as well as how to best change your life and circumstances. Robert goes over a few of his 18 laws to help you on your way. Key Takeaways: 4:45 Should you live above or below your means? 10:38 Money gives you choices, and choices can make you happy Robert Greene Interview: 16:08 Misjudging people is extremely expensive, and it's getting even harder to do with everything becoming virtual 18:27 Thinking about what other people need or are going through is one of the most important life skills you can develop 21:42 When you ask someone for anything, they are naturally going to be resistant 24:47 We are emotional creatures, largely governed by our emotions 36:20 You can change your own life and circumstances by working on your attitude 39:56 The biggest impediment in people's lives is the inability to affect or influence the people around them Website: www.PowerSeductionAndWar.com     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Today Jason wants you to understand that "regression to replacement cost" and Land to Improvement (LTI) ratios is crucial for real estate investors. This concept involves separating property value into land and improvement (buildings) components to assess risk and appreciation. High land value markets are riskier due to cyclical volatility. Replacement cost analysis, comparing property price to construction costs, reveals potential gains. Investors should focus on cash flow, not just appreciation, and recognize the impact of land value on tax benefits. Analyzing property performance using tools like the Hartman Risk Evaluator improves investment decisions. #RealEstateInvesting #PropertyInvestment #LTIratio #RegressionToReplacementCost #RealEstateRisk #CashFlowInvesting #PropertyAnalysis #InvestmentStrategy #RealEstateEducation #FinancialFreedom Key Takeaways: Jason's introduction 1:28 https://empoweredinvestorlive.com is only a few days away! 1:46 Regression to replacement cost 2:29 Real estate pro Bill Allen and the current housing market 4:26 "A buyer in every market" 6:36 Where are we headed this year https://www.7figureflipping.com/ Jason on Regression to replacement cost 8:43 An NAHB article 15:22 Birmingham property: Land value vs. the "improvement" on the land 26:09 For the those who like to gamble 27:26 Projected ROI on the Birmingham property 28:38 Go to https://www.jasonhartman.com/ and watch "How to Read a Pro Forma" 29:24 Love us or hate us, please write a review of the show!   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

This Flashback Friday is from episode 277, published last September 11, 2012. Jason Hartman is joined by Dr. Steve Sjuggerrud, editor for Stansberry Research, for a discussion of real estate investing domestic and international, attractive mortgage rates, and government deals that are making real estate a much more attractive investment. Steve talks about what he calls the “Bernanke Asset Bubble,” where the Fed would like to see a booming real estate market and stock market to get the country back on its feet.  Jason and Steve also talk about the demographics of the rental market and comparative returns of the rental market and stocks. Dr. Steve Sjuggerud is the founder and editor of one of the largest financial newsletters in the world, True Wealth.  Since inception in 2001, True Wealth readers have made money every year with safe, contrarian investment ideas. Steve did his PhD dissertation on international currencies, he's traveled to dozens of countries looking at investment ideas, and he's run mutual funds, hedge funds, and investment research departments.

It's harder than it sounds, but Steve continues to be able to do just that for his readers.   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com  

Jason discussed a theory that the Trump administration is intentionally slowing the economy to set the stage for lower interest rates, referencing Anthony Pompliano's newsletter. He also highlighted the current economic situation, emphasizing the need for the US government to refinance its debt and the role of interest rates in this process. Jason expressed hope that the current leadership's strategy would work, as millions of Americans depend on it. He concludes with an invitation for his upcoming event, Empowered Investor Live. https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ https://www.anthonypompliano.com/   Jason then speaks with acclaimed financial advisor Ric Edelman. Barron's has six times (2004–2009) ranked Ric Edelman among America's 100 top financial advisors. In 2009, Ric was ranked the #1 independent financial advisor in the nation by Barron's. In 2004, Ric was inducted into the Financial Advisor Hall of Fame, ranked by Research Magazine for his focus on the individual client and ranked #42 on Registered Rep magazine's list of “America's Top 50 Advisors.” Inc. magazine three times named the firm the fastest-growing privately-held financial planning firm in the country. Ric received an honorary doctorate from Rowan University in 1999, and in 2007 was inducted into the Rowan University Public Relations Student Society of America Hall of Fame. #EmpoweredInvestor #TrumpEconomy #InterestRates #EconomicPolicy #RealEstateInvesting #MarketUncertainty #Recession #FinancialStrategy #EconomicGrowth #DebtRefinancing #HousingMarket #LowerInterestRates #FinancialRepression #InvestingTips #RealEstate #EmpoweredInvestorLive www.EdelmanFinancial.com   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:35 https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ is almost upon us!

Jason discusses the current state of the foreclosure market, and the importance of income property as a historically proven investment during times of economic uncertainty. He also presented a chart showing the percentage of loan balances that are 90 days or more delinquent by different loan types and discussed the evolution of automobiles and the current state of auto loans, mortgages, and student loans. Jason concluded by predicting a somewhat stagflationary real estate market and announced an upcoming masterclass and Empowered Investor Live event.

Jason then talks about leveraging debt, particularly in real estate, to capitalize on inflation. Using borrowed money reduces risk and increases returns, especially when investing in appreciating assets. Jason highlights the "Great Inflation Payoff," where inflation effectively reduces loan balances over time. For example, a $950,000 loan, with 4% inflation, decreases to $912,000 in a year. He emphasizes borrowing over lending, as inflation erodes the value of future debt repayments. Tenant-financed debt, where renters cover mortgage payments, maximizes these benefits. #inflation #realestate #investing #leverage #debt #financialfreedom #wealthbuilding #passiveincome #financialplanning #mortgage #ROI Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:29 Welcome to Medillin, Colombia 2:28 A very interesting theory about the FED and the economy 4:51 US Housing foreclosures by Quarter and the housing market 8:35 Percent of loan balances 90+ days delinquent, by loan type 9:28 CAAS- Cars As A Service 12:15 Mortgages, HELOC and student loans 14:38 Sponsor: JasonHartman.com/Connected 15:53  Get your tickets to https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ Jason on Reducing Risk and Leveraging Debt 16:36 Introduction to Leverage and Inflation 19:09 The Great Inflation Payoff and Tenant-Backed Debt and Real Estate Investing 27:53 Constructive Debt vs. Destructive Debt, RV Ratio and Market Dynamics 30:29 Credit as an Asset, Three Stages of Debt Strategy 33:59 ROI, Return on Inflation and the Twofold Benefits of Inflation in Real Estate     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

This Flashback Friday is from episode 262, published last June 9, 2012. Countries around the globe are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, with our own country no exception. Jason Hartman interviews Dr. Kirk Elliot, Ph.D., investment adviser with ICA, on monetary and fiscal policy and the irresponsibility of governments around the world. Using Greece as an example, Dr. Elliott states that when governments run out of money, they start doing crazy things. The one fundamental issue in Greece is public debt, over which they lost their autonomy and are now under the rules of the EU. Italy, Iceland, Portugal, France and others are on the verge of bankruptcy and due to that, the EU has been unable to bail out Greece. Across the pond in the U.S., we have lost our credit rating and are losing the reserve currency status with a lack of interest in our Treasury bills and notes. The definition of inflation is an increase in the money supply, and price increases are a symptom of inflation. As more money is printed, it loses value and nobody wants it, which is sending the U.S. down the same tube as other countries in economic crisis. People around the world have lost faith in the U.S. dollar and the country's ability to repay its debt. Dr. Elliott says when interest rates go up, it will open a whole new can of worms with the bond market, which will come crashing down hard on retirees and insurance companies. But it's not all doom and gloom. There are counter-cyclical investment strategies that people should take advantage of that are attached to physical assets, such as precious metals and real estate investments (commodities with universal need.) Kirk Elliott has been an investment adviser with ICA in Durango, Colorado since January of 2002 and has been working in the financial services industry since 1994. Dr. Elliott is passionate about educating and equipping his clients with the information they need to safeguard their hard-earned assets. Dr. Elliott earned his Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration from Walden University. His dissertation is entitled, “An Empirical Identification of an Appropriate Inflation Definition and an Inflation Targeting Monetary Policy.” Dr. Elliott also earned a Master of Arts in International Studies from the University of Denver, and a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Colorado.   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 258, published last May 7, 2012. We are all confused about economic indicators and it's critical that we understand the real figures, the direction of the economy, interest rates and their consequences, and much more. On this episode, Jason Hartman interviews Bernie Baumohl, author of Secrets of Economic Indicators, in regard to the numerous economic indicators and what is most useful. Bernie explains what a “business cycle” is and what happens during the cycle, how it comes full circle over time. Bernie gives examples of stress points in the business cycle. People make mistakes, such as buying more inventory than they need or the economy can't handle the demand of the people. More recently, we have seen longer periods of economic growth, but at a closer look, the mistakes that caused the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression are apparent. It was a “cauldron of fraud and wrecklessness,” says Bernie. Jason and Bernie touch on the subject of the Federal Reserve and the Gold Standard, citing what has been happening in Greece as an example of the limitations of a currency that is fixed and unmovable. Bernie feels that a country in economic trouble needs to have the flexibility to lower interest rates. They also discuss market sensitivity, the index, and the source of the leading market indicators.   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Roman and Jason discuss the decline in measles mortality rates in the US which has fallen by 98% before the first measles vaccine was introduced in 1963. Roman shares data from US vital statistics data and a chart showing the decline and mortality rate for measles in the United States. They also discuss similar data from England, where measles and other health problems were a big killers in the early 20th century, but by the time the vaccines came out, there was almost a 100% decline in mortality. Roman explains that the mortality decline was not influenced by the vaccine at all, as it was due to poor living conditions and the introduction of clean water, sanitation, hygiene, improved nutrition, and a revolution in science. https://dissolvingillusions.com/ https://www.cdc.gov/ Save the date!

This Flashback Friday is from episode 248, published last March 14, 2012. Join Jason Hartman as he opens with some thoughts on buying far below construction or replacement costs sharing an email from Allstate Insurance, then a discussion of an Orange County Register article citing Marcus & Millichap's 2012 National Apartment Report. You'll hear Michael LeBeouf, author of the NY Times best-selling book, "The Greatest Management Principle in the World", where he discusses human behavior and how "What Gets Rewarded, Gets Repeated." In the news: Underwater borrowers eligible for settlement write-downs. A calculation by a Brookings Institution economist narrowed down a pool of underwater homeowners to 500,000 who could qualify for principal reduction from the $25 billion mortgage settlement. Using the parameters of the settlement, Ted Gayer found just 5% of the nation's 11.1 million underwater borrowers could get the principal reduced on their mortgage, first reported by The Washington Post. About $10 billion of the settlement, in the form of credits, will go toward principal write-downs made by the five banks. Only homeowners delinquent on their mortgages are eligible. Gayer eliminated others according to underlying requirements, including Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loans and homes not owner-occupied. It's a rough calculation, Gayer warned, and he made some assumptions in the process. He eliminated any loans not held on the banks' balance sheets, as well as any with a second loan. Mortgage bondholders may not take kindly to principal write-downs, he said.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
