This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  1:22   Welcome to GRE from Mannheim, Germany, to Mannheim, Pennsylvania and across 188 nations worldwide. You're listening to get rich Education. I'm your host. Keith Weinhold, you probably grew up playing the board game Monopoly. Well, imagine playing Monopoly and never buying an asset that generates income. What if you just went around the board collecting $200 giving your money to the rich and trying to stay out of jail. Does that sound ridiculous? Well, that's how most people live their lives. We don't do that here at GRE we add real assets that pay us while we own them, and more and more people can potentially soon get exposure to these asset types. The White House recently reported that Trump made an executive order that is bringing Americans closer to getting retirement plan access to real estate, private equity and crypto. I mean, think about what that could do to overall real estate demand, pushing up prices. It could make the industry boom. Sort of how the advent of 401, KS helped the stock market boom. Also, another development is that in order to qualify for mortgage loans, crypto could soon be used as an asset in your mortgage qualification. That's per the FHFA, and that's what they're moving toward. Now there's been a lot of novel information and developments and stories like that this year, as we're in a presidential administration that shakes up all kinds of status quo policies, from foreign wars to tariffs to us real estate. Journalistically, it's important to be accurate and avoid misinformation and false news as the AI era is near its nascency. Still, you have got to be increasingly cautious about where you get your information. I got a stark reminder of this recently, now former presidential candidate and HHS Secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr and I recently did a stair climber workout together at a gym. You probably know that RFK Jr leads the MaHA movement make America healthy again, which I support, and much like me, he's an avid fitness enthusiast, and that's the kind of stuff that we talk about. Well, there are now some photos of RFK, JR And I out there exercising together, something that's okay with me. I'm even proud of that. I shared one of those on my social media myself. He and I don't talk politics or vaccines or even diet or just exercise enthusiasts. That's what we talk about. That's our common ground. Well, a Facebook post of RFK JR and I exercising together, and here's where the terribly irresponsible misinformation comes in. Meta AI has a one touch link from there to what they call Weinhold and RFK Jr collaborations. Here's how it reads. I'll read it all word for word, and so much of it is false. Keith Weinhold and Robert F Kennedy Jr have a close friendship that has garnered significant attention. Keith Weinhold, a businessman and podcaster, has been a vocal supporter of Kennedy's work and advocacy their friendship has been built around shared interests and values, including their passion for environmental issues and their skepticism of mainstream narratives. Weinhold has often featured Kennedy as a guest on his podcast, where they discuss issues ranging from vaccine safety to corporate accountability. Together, they have collaborated on various projects, including the promotion of Kennedy's book the real Anthony Fauci. Their friendship has been subject to scrutiny, with some critics accusing them of spreading misinformation. That's the end of the meta AI page. What in the world? How do they come up with this stuff? The only shared interest we've collaborated on is fitness at the gym. And you as listener know that he's never been a guest on this show. Now, if his expertise were real estate investing or economics, well, then I might invite him on. How does meta AI come up with this stuff about vaccines and Fauci I mean, that is so far away from my area of focus. I haven't weighed in on any of that stuff. My gosh, this meta AI page, it is published work for all to see, and it is about 90% false. So my point is, there's a lot of information out there about everything from real estate investing to endangered sharks to cooking tomato soup. Be careful. Pay attention to information that has cited reliable sources. And AI in its current fledgling stage, it really muddies the picture. One thing that might help is that open AI's chatgpt Five, which recently debuted, it is better. It's an improvement. For example, if it does not know the answer to a question that you have, it will tell you that it does not know the answer, instead of making up something fake just to give some sort of answer like previous versions. Did we need more of that coming up here on the show. In future weeks, we have vital monolog material from me, as always prominent guests, new guests and repeat guests. Last week, I answered your listener questions here on air, you can always write in with your questions or comments at get rich education.com/contact this week, it's interviewees like you, as I talk to the first of two listener guests.   Keith Weinhold  8:17   He has been an avid GRE listener for a few years, and says that he shifted from bigger pockets and other content over almost exclusively to get rich education for real estate and market content. He uses the principles taught through GRE to focus on his niche, which is residential assisted living, R, A, l, investments at the single family home level, he owns two single family units that also have ADUs and a handful of Ral units, which has helped him reach his goal of replacing his military income with property cash flow. He is a husband, father of three boys and active duty Navy officer currently stationed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, a buy and hold investor. He began investing in real estate in 2017and now owns a portfolio that includes rental properties in San Diego, five Ral homes in Phoenix and GP stakes in two Ral syndications. He is also the founder of open range capital in the Ral room, there are two platforms dedicated to scaling the Ral model. Again, that's residential assisted living, scaling those across the US. And when he's not serving or investing, you can find him on the lacrosse field, playing, basketball, training, Jiu Jitsu or chasing down any kind of competition. Hey, welcome to GRE. Luke frazell,    Luke Frizzell  9:37   Keith, thank you for the introduction. Appreciate that very kind. And once I started investing in 2017 I got started with the bigger pockets train, and pretty avidly listened to their podcast and taking some action on my own, I actually found your podcast and your website, and it was so much more efficient in the information that I needed to hear. I. Know, and the the time that I could spend actually paying attention to real estate news and the important things that I need to be paying attention to as an investor, that I exclusively and paying attention through your email list and through your podcast, it's always great information. So I appreciate being on and thanks for having me. Keith,   Keith Weinhold  10:18   thanks. I try to keep things nutrient dense around here, Frizzell is spelled F, R, I, z, E, L, L, and look, I know your investing philosophy is strongly influenced by one of GRE most seminal and central mantras, and something that the world first learned right here on this show back in 2015 real estate pays five ways. Tell us about that.   Luke Frizzell  10:42   That is one of the best just mantras for whenever I'm talking to people about getting into real estate, yes. And I literally say, what the five ways that real estate pays, because that's how I heard about it was through you. And I was like, That is such a perfect illustration of why this beats, let's say, the stock market, or why this beats a lot of other investment vehicles, because you're not just getting the cash flow, which is a huge reason why people get involved in it, and that's actually the first thing that I'm scrubbing for whenever I'm looking for an investment. But of course, you're hoping for the appreciation, which I really just count as the cherry on top. And if I'm looking at a market from the macro lens, I'm making sure that the the city is growing, the jobs are coming in, there's a decent population, and at a macro level, that's the first thing you need to do before you dig into a city to make sure it's good to go. When appreciation happens, it's probably because those things are all in the right spot. And you're you're picking the right neighborhood, but just, you know, leverage, and being able to buy with 20% of the full amount down, that's a huge piece. And just the hedge against inflation that you get through a loan all the ways, I'm probably missing one, but that's one of the first things that I say when somebody's on the fence on whether they get into real estate investing is, Hey, these are the five ways I learned it from Keith's website, and I'll point them to you guys. That's how I found residential assisted living was really Yes, I had been an investor in San Diego and had great success there with, you know, the buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat, the burn method, and putting those five ways into practice. But what I really wanted, as I was looking towards getting out of the military in a few years was more the cash flow piece. So that's what drew me to Phoenix. I actually heard a podcast where somebody was talking about this strategy where you buy a home and you lease it out to a senior care operator and they are paying two to three times the lease amount that you would pay or get from a single family rental, and yet you're also getting all the benefits of real estate. So it seemed pretty hands off, which checked the box for me on that since I was working an active duty job, and then it was also very high, high cash flow. So that's what got me into residential assisted living, and has kept me into it, and I've brought a couple partners into what we're doing, and really bringing my partners in is brought us so much further than I would have ever gone myself. The core tenets of five ways real estate pays has definitely influenced my thoughts as an investor and everything that I've done   Keith Weinhold  13:16   yeah, I can't believe more people don't talk about the compelling why for real estate investing? And I think real estate pays five ways. Is the most efficient and comprehensive way of doing that for sure, when it comes to Property selection and adding to your portfolio, like you touched on, I know that you like to say that you don't chase doors, you chase quality, and you have sort of this peace of mind with intentional investing over scale. Can you tell us about that?   Luke Frizzell  13:43   That's a great question. It was really a forcing function that formed my investor mindset was it has to be quality, because I don't have the time as somebody who's doing a full time job that's very time intensive, and sometimes I'm leaving for months on end before I come back and in my spouse works in something completely separately, so she doesn't have time to manage properties and things like that. It was forced upon me to be very efficient with what I invested in, and my wife was not. She, just like me, didn't grow up learning about real estate investing, so they had to really hit bang for buck whenever we made that first investment in order to buy her or get her buy in on it. And when that first rental check came in, I was able to take her out to a sushi dinner and say it was paid for by our our tenants. And that was kind of the first buy in piece Got it, got us in there. But, yeah, I really Chase quality. And we were very fortunate, and got a little bit lucky with the timing of our properties in California with covid and the interest rates we bought to early on in 2017 and then in 2020 before interest rates started going up, before prices got crazy out there. And those have done really well for. For us. But as interest rates continued to rise and as prices on homes continued to rise, I had to keep the efficient piece in the back of my mind. That's when I heard about the senior care investing number one. I was like, hey, yeah, the demographics, it makes sense. There's so many, that demographic of seniors, the boomer generation, reaching, you know, 80 years old, and coming to that time of life where they need care that is not going down. The medical system as flawed as it can be in our country. You know, people are living longer, and we need to house them, and people don't want to stay in a big box facility anymore that feels like a hotel and not personal, and you have a one caregiver to 30 resident ratio. People want more personalized care, like you would get at a private school. At a public school, you get what you get, and you don't throw a fit, which kind of the analogy I make for a facility versus residential assisted living. So what we invest in is the residential level, where you actually buy just a regular house and it may have four or five bedrooms in it, and let's say three bathrooms, and if it's a single story home that has, let's say 3000 square feet, that is a prime home to actually build out into a senior care home. And every state needs these. Every state has different laws and rules and regulations as to what some are going to require, different size door frames, different width requirements in the halls, ramp requirements, of course, for wheelchair access and such. At the end of the day, every state needs more housing for seniors, and it's really going to be an education piece on getting people up to speed. We have five homes in Phoenix doing this, this model. There's a lot of network already available there. Like people love to retire in warm weather. Phoenix is just a hotbed for these residential assisted living homes. So that's where we got started. But when you move into, you know, let's say rural Nebraska, it's not going to be as as prevalent. So you really got to do a lot more networking and education to zoom back to your question about quality over quantity. If you think about scaling to $10,000 per month in passive income, quote, unquote, passive, the way I look at it, if I can have one residential assisted living home that nets $10,000 per month when I talk about the one residential assisted living home that could make net $10,000 per month that would be running the operations yourself, where you have let's say the average resident across America is going to pay 4000 to $6,000 per month to stay in a home like what I'm talking about if One home, let's go with the low end of $4,000 per month has a capacity of 10 residents in the house, then you can have 10 residents at $4,000 per month. So that's $40,000 gross. And then if you the average, if you're running an efficient home, just having straight up staffing costs, that maybe cost you $15,000 per month, and then you have your mortgage and your debt, that takes you another $10,000 per month, and let's say another five for excess costs and food and things, that's $30,000 of expenses. So 40,000 minus 30,000 is $10,000 per month. That's an efficiently run home. But that is not the height of what someone could do with this strategy. We have partners that do $40,000 net per month in this strategy, and that's generally in the dementia care, memory care space. What we did when we started was something called the lease to operator model, and that's a little bit more hands off, actually, I would say a lot more hands off than the actual operations of the home, like what I just said, because if you're doing the staffing and you have the business liability, that's all pretty involved, and there's a lot of education and a lot of networking that you need to do to get to that point. When I got started in this, I did the least operator model, because I was time constrained and I didn't want to actually get involved with the hands on care number one, because I was in Virginia Beach, and the homes that we were buying were in Phoenix, so there was no possible way for me to do that when we bought our first home at 10 capacity, so there's 10 residents that can fit in the home. I found an operator and vetted them and moved them into the house, and they're paying me a lease for five years, so it's somewhat of a commercial lease, but it's a residential home, and I actually got residential insurance on the house. The business owner that is leasing from me has the business liability insurance, and now they're paying me two and a half times what would have been the regular lease amount that I could have gotten for that home. So in that area, they're paying me $8,000 per month on a five year lease, and that goes up 3% per year. However, if I was renting that out like a normal house, I'm. Be getting 2020 $500 per month, every month, on a long term lease.   Keith Weinhold  20:05   That's this way the manager operates it, rather than you, right? So I   Luke Frizzell  20:09   actually empower the manager, or this operator, is what we call them. That's why it's leased to operator. I empower this manager to actually run it themselves. I don't tell them you can't paint the inside of the house. I don't tell them you can't redo the floors when you want. If they want to do that, that's on them, but they owe me that lease amount every month, and I empower them to run the home however they want. What I'm making sure happens is I'm paying for the insurance on the house, and I'm making sure the roof is stable and the walls are not going to collapse. Everything else, from utilities to whatever is on them, and they are a full fledged business owner in there, and hopefully they stay once the five years is up.   Keith Weinhold  20:48   That's a really interesting way to do it, by the way. Just dropping back to your earlier comment, I like how you say your wife doesn't have time to do the property management. I think we both know that we are protecting her standard of living and quality of life when she is not the property manager. Yes, I think it's common knowledge in America that the senior population is growing faster than the overall population. In fact, about four past GRE episodes featured the late great gene Guarino here on the show, a big educator in the residential assisted living space. We've got this aging population, the silver tsunami, the demographics about it are surely undeniable. I think a holdup for some people is that you're merging real estate investing with an active business. However, you've just described something where you're sort of withdrawing from that active business part, getting a leaseholder to pay you two and a half times the market rent, if you just had it as a buy and hold property and having them operated, is that right?   Speaker 2  20:48    Yeah, and I that's obviously a rough I say two to three times. I like to call it Airbnb numbers in a good market, without the stolen paper towels.   Keith Weinhold  20:48   You know what I mean? Like that, the stolen paper towels, the vacancy, the managing a listing, the clean. So   Speaker 2  20:48   you're doing all the you're getting the reaping the rewards of, let's say, an Airbnb without any headache. Because once you've set that operator in there, and you've empowered them to do it, and you have a rock solid lease, you're wiping your hands clean, I have to reach out to my operators to get an update from them to make sure that everything's going well, because they're not reaching out to me they're running their home. And hopefully, if I've empowered them the right way, and I am allowing them to be successful, and they reach out to me and say, Hey, Luke, I want to actually expand operations. So if you buy another house in this area, let me know, so that I can expand my operations there as well.    Luke Frizzell  21:23   Yeah. Well, do you have any last things to tell us about the residential assisted living for example, I know you have four strategies. For one, to get invested in it.   Luke Frizzell  22:44   That's a good question. And and just to hit on your last point, you're I actually like that. You can mix the real estate with the business, if you have time for that. And many people can do that, especially if you come from a healthcare background, or you're a nurse, that you're just looking to do something out on your own and not just spending your hours working at the hospital. And maybe you're a caregiver that's not paid well enough, and you're overworked, but you know that you could go and do something like that, or you're a doctor, a lot of people can go out and do this themselves, but if you're like me, and you're just a working professional that doesn't have time to get into that, but you do have people skills, and can figure out, like, Hey, I've interviewed about five different operators for this, and I can tell that this one meets all the marks, and they're going to get in there, and I can trust them, and they have a good, extensive experience in this space, and they're going to pay me a reasonable lease. That makes sense for why I'm putting the risk into this. Yeah, I'm going to pick them and get them in there. That's a really good option for people. So that's one of the strategies, is lease to operator. Another strategy is the one we already talked about, which is own and operate. So you're getting the power of real estate. You're leasing from yourself as so it's one entity, one business entity owns the property, one business entity owns the care business, and you're leasing from yourself, and there's some major tax benefits to doing it that way. That's obviously the most time intensive, and you're probably going that route if you want to make this your life's path. The other option is actually, if you don't have the money right now to buy a house, but you have the drive and you have the experience to get into the actual operations, you could just lease from somebody like me and who owns the house and doesn't want to get involved in the operations just yet, and now you can just set up a lease with them. Phoenix is a really good hub. Houston is a really good hub, but cities across America are going to start finding out about this and needing to get this into their advertise, basically because the senior housing issue that we talked about. And then finally, you can passively invest in these through open range capital, we are investing in these, and we're actually developing some memory care homes in Northern Virginia right now. So if you go to open range capital, you'll be able to find opportunities to invest in these as a passive investor. Or there's folks in the rail room who are building. Memory Care Homes in Houston area, and they're offering over 20% returns to people who just want to, hey, you have money, but you don't have time, and you don't have the interest to actually do some of this yourself. But you understand the power of residential assisted living, and the way that this medical problem and the senior care housing issue is growing in our country. Well, you can put your money there instead of doing it yourself.   Keith Weinhold  25:25   These are four distinct strategies for investing in residential assisted living, from the very much hands on to the passive hands off. Oh, this has really been helpful. Why don't you go ahead and let our audience know how they can learn more about the Raoul room and your website.   Luke Frizzell  25:42   Thanks for that. So we saw that there was a huge knowledge gap between real estate investors and business owners. And just anybody who's an entrepreneur thinking about how to get into this. You see the Cody Sanchez's of the world talking about business ownership and all those things you hear about the problem with our senior housing. And if you put those two things together, there's a huge gap in the marketplace. We wanted to educate people on this, because when we got started, there was a lot of unknowns, and it's really hard to sift through all the confusion about, you know how to get licensed. How do I know how many people I can fit into my home and actually care for? How do I find operators? How can I learn from other people who are actually doing this across the country and figure out which market to get into? So we wanted to combine all of that and have a network of people who know how to find these homes, know how to get you started in doing these and of course, we've been learning along the way as well, and that that was part of our goal as well when we started the Ral room. But we have a community of over 115 people. At this point, you can go to the ralroom.com r a l room.com and find out more. It's a great opportunity to learn about what it is. We have freebies in there about how to get started, from one to 10 step guide, and we even have a free podcast called The Ral room podcast. So tune into that. If you haven't done it yet.   Keith Weinhold  27:04   This has been informative, terrific stuff from Luke Frizzell. The audience will benefit from your point of view. Thanks for your time and intention today.    Luke Frizzell  27:14   Yeah, absolutely, Keith. Appreciate you.   Keith Weinhold  27:17   This was our first of two GRE listener guest profiles. We've got the second one when we come back. I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to get rich education.    Keith Weinhold  27:26   The same place where I get my own mortgage loans is where you can get yours. Ridge lending group and MLS, 42056, they provided our listeners with more loans than anyone because they specialize in income properties. They help you build a long term plan for growing your real estate empire with leverage. Start your pre qual and even chat with President Chaley Ridge personally. While it's on your mind, start at Ridge lendinggroup.com. That's Ridge lendinggroup.com.    Keith Weinhold  27:58   You know what's crazy your bank is getting rich off of you. The average savings account pays less than 1% it's like laughable. Meanwhile, if your money isn't making at least 4% you're losing to inflation. That's why I started putting my own money into the FFI liquidity fund. It's super simple. Your cash can pull in up to 8% returns, and it compounds. It's not some high risk gamble like digital or AI stock trading. It's pretty low risk because they've got a 10 plus year track record of paying investors on time in full every time. I mean, I wouldn't be talking about it if I wasn't invested myself. You can invest as little as 25k and you keep earning until you decide you want your money back. No weird lockups or anything like that. So if you're like me and tired of your liquid funds just sitting there doing nothing, check it out. Text family 266, 866, to learn about freedom. Family investments, liquidity fund again. Text family to 66866,    Richard Duncan  29:08   this is Richard Duncan, publisher on macro. Watch, listen to get rich education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your Daydream. You   Keith Weinhold  29:26   this week's GRE listener guest profile is with an Air Force vet turned real estate investor, and today he even runs the ideal investor show. He's from Germany and lives in San Diego today, using strategies like turnkey real estate, 1031, exchanges and more. He now owns multiple properties in different countries and states. These include the states of Ohio, Idaho, Illinois and Florida, and the nations of Belize, Panama, Spain and more. He's been a GRE listener since episode. 100 which was in 2016 and this helped him connect with income property providers and get started and really growing his wealth through compound leverage, not just compound interest. He ultimately ended up with eight properties in what he calls well performing locations. Hey, it's great to have you here. Welcome to GRE Dr Axel meyerhoffer, hey, Keith, thank you for having me. Meyerhoffer is spelled m, e, i, e r, H, O, E, F, E R. I know that coming on to GRE is something that you've wanted to do for a while, but let's pull back first, what is your doctorate in? And then how do you use that degree or distinction today?   Dr Axel Meierhoefer  30:40   Well, my doctorate is in organizational change and leadership, and the dissertation that I wrote as the study at the end of the degree program was about business coaching and whether it's better for a company to have internal coaches versus external coaches. And when you're diving really deep, my like, I don't know if you're aware, but PhD stands, at least in my book for pilot high and deep, high and deep, right? And so, you know, I really dug into this, and what I learned about coaching is still helping me, even though idea wealth grow is a little bit more mentoring program than a coaching program, but still, the practice of engaging people and getting out of them what they really want to accomplish is valid every day   Keith Weinhold  31:28   when we wonder about what's piled high and deep, I'm sure that thing is knowledge couldn't possibly be anything else. Dr meyerhoffer, tell us what you learned from listening here that piqued your interest?   Dr Axel Meierhoefer  31:43   Well, the one thing is, I had found the book turnkey revolution, by Chris closure, who, for those who don't know he, is the one of the family members of the founders of Memphis invest that is now known as Rei Nation. I'm sure you're very familiar with it, Keith and I've heard of them. Yeah, I read the book, and it was very helpful, but it wasn't very clear, other than his family's company, how do you apply this as a regular investor, which I was at the time. And then I listened to your episodes over and over, talking about how you can use turnkey investing to invest out of state, being far away. And I remember, if I'm not mistaken, that you were in Alaska and investing somewhere in lower 48 and so that kind of got me triggered to look into that.    Keith Weinhold  32:30   You figure, if you're in San Diego, you can invest in Alabama, if a person from Honolulu or anchorage can do that same thing. All right, so you've built up, it sounds like, is it eight turnkey properties? It's   Dr Axel Meierhoefer  32:45   eight turnkey properties. And then I have a few other things, like, I also listen to episodes that you had about agricultural investing. So, yeah, like in Panama, the first investment was in a coffee farm. And then a little later, I also discovered some you would call them, like little cabin, kind of like vacation cabin investments and stuff. So yeah, I've actually learned a lot and benefited, and I always appreciated that, you know, you're not just saying, Hey, here's something you can do, but you oftentimes have a connection or relationship with an organization. And so several times my investments were at least informed, let's say, by GRE,   Keith Weinhold  33:26   yes. And oftentimes I'm investing right next to you, the investor myself, with some of the same GRE marketplace providers. You have eight properties. Are they all cash flowing? Are they all producing positive cash flow?   Dr Axel Meierhoefer  33:41   Yeah. I mean, that's actually one of the things that I wanted from the get go, and that's also part of our idea rights grow a mentoring program to look at properties now. Right now, with the higher interest rates, it's admittedly a little harder to find locations and properties that have a good balance between the quality of the property, the area that the property is in and then also being cash flowing. We have fundamentally for renovated properties. We're still looking for 1% rule. It's harder to find, but you know, as a starting point to say, Should I even consider as long as it's close to that most of the time, the numbers work out, even at seven or eight percentages, you still make at least a little bit of money   Keith Weinhold  34:20   overall. Yes, the real estate deals just aren't as good as they were, say, five years ago, because both rents and prices are up, but rents haven't risen as much as prices have. I still don't know where you're going to find a better risk adjusted return in any investment, though, than with income property bought with a loan.   Dr Axel Meierhoefer  34:42   Yeah, I'm with you on that. And I mean, I remember vividly, not in only in books and other research, that people have this apples to oranges comparison thing going on all the time, right? I always say, Okay, well, tell me if you can buy stocks where somebody gives you 80% of the money, and I already need to put 20 right? What tell me if you can buy stocks and somebody says, Oh, the stock is gonna depreciate in the next 27 and a half years. So, you know, you write some of it off your tax return, and those kind of things. Tell me where somebody gives you money but allows you to keep 100% of the increase in value all these things. I mean, you have beautiful graphics and stuff that you made over time, but when you really try to do apples to apples comparison, there's nothing there. And one thing maybe for the audience, that I think is an important thing to know is, and I know Keith, you have said this so many times, real estate, especially residential real estate and investing, is really the long term game. And that also means to realize, okay, even in times like right now, you might only start with, like, 50 or $100 positive cash flow. But when you look at the longer term, I always say, and I say this to our clients, the first five and maybe right now, it's more like seven years. It's kind of like the hard time of this investment where you just barely break even, where you might be a little disgruntled when you get a maintenance bill and you haven't really built a big reserve yet, because you're still with your first few properties, but when you look at the trajectory, and I can see it now, you know, I've six years in all properties are cash flow positive, the rate that we're getting, even if we only increase rents by 2030, $35 a month, year over year. Like you said, right? You want to train your tenants. When I look at the overall picture, it's basically getting better every year. If you have that in mind, to say, I make an investment. I call, by the way, the point what we want to get to. I call that the time freedom point where your portfolio generates enough cash flow so yet you have a choice to say, Do I go work or do I live off the income? And that is why you still have mortgages, right? So if the listeners ever think, Okay, well, what happens when one after the next, the mortgages get paid off, it's like paradise at that point, right? If you really think of it from a purely cash flow perspective,   Keith Weinhold  36:56   starting is the hardest, because it's clunky to buy your first property, and then it also takes a few years until you really feel the effect of all these wealth multipliers at the same time. You're sort of touching on the third in the inflation Triple Crown, cash flow enhancement, if you only increase the rent three or 4% per year. Yeah. So what it feels like you're only keeping up with inflation, but the fact that your principal and interest payment stays fixed means a three to 4% rent increase might be a 10% cash flow increase. As that compounds year after year, you really begin to feel those effects. But yes, it does take the addition of time, but not decades.   Dr Axel Meierhoefer  37:38   I'm with you. It's just for me, important that anybody who is considering should I get into this right, especially in an environment where people constantly pointing to the fact that the stock market keeps going up, gold is going up, silver is going up, Bitcoin is going up, right? And to me, these are the apples, and they are nice apples, don't get me wrong, right? They're beautiful apples, but we're dealing in oranges, right? And we have these five different things that you keep counting on, and have all kinds of beautiful descriptions about that we get as real estate investors. And it's a choice, right? People can make a choice, and I'm all for diversification, but if you make the choice, then you really have the beginning of building a legacy. And for many people, I find more and more that becomes important to say it's not just for me, like if you were to ask me, it's not just for me, it's also knowing that my daughter will have a much better portfolio than I ever had when I was young. Yeah, our now, like almost two year old grandson, he is going to be safe pretty much forever   Keith Weinhold  38:37   getting started and even after starting for some people, there are certain mindsets that they need to overcome. One of them is getting out of state property. So do you have any thoughts or approaches with adding out of state properties, which is still a foreign proposition to some people?   Dr Axel Meierhoefer  38:56   Well, one thing that I do and emphasize very strongly in our mentoring program is besides the investing and helping people to get the connections to like the turnkey providers and the lenders and the property managers, inspectors and stuff, the other part, and I'm sometimes almost feel, is more important than the investing itself. Obviously, it's kind of a requirement, but the other part is to really as the mentor, help people to develop the mindset of the king or queen of their own empire, or basically the owner of the investing business. And when you think about it that way, I often times portray it in the way look at all the components, all the services that you need for the out of state investor, right? You need the turnkey provider, property management, bank or lender. You need inspectors and stuff. I try to convey to people, we are building an LLC, and that LLC is hiring these people as if they were employees. And if you look at it that way, and you start adopting that mindset. And. You look at their performance like any employer would look at the performance of their employees. If the performance is great, they get praise and the raise. If the performance sucks, you let him go and get another one when you're not going to hang out with the same property management out of state, constantly complaining, not doing their job, not treating the tenants well, not treating your property well. Why would you keep somebody like that? So it's this aspect of building a mindset of, yes, you might have a job, a regular w2 job, but for the purposes of building your real estate portfolio, you are the business owner, and you're hiring all these services. And when that clicks and you start treating the people that you're working with in that way, with respect, but with every expectation that you pay them for their services so they're supposed to perform. That changes, in my opinion and my experience. That changes everything   Keith Weinhold  40:54   comes down to the fact that the team is more important than the property, and a lot of people perhaps overemphasize the geographic location of that property. Location surely matters, but it's just not nearly the most important thing I know. One approach that you take is you have this mantra that underdog properties often outperform hot properties. However, can you speak to that some more   Speaker 3  41:21   Well, I think it has to do with it, with this kind of analogy of Steady as she goes right underdog property, I'm more inclined to look in a nice neighborhood and establish nice neighborhood. I always say, Let's try, with the help of a turnkey provider, to find the ugly duckling in a nice neighborhood and get that renovated and that neighborhood, I'm not a big fan of this term blue color versus white color or anything like that, but if you bring the ugly duckling back to be the white swan of that neighborhood, you have, I believe, a very good probability that that will be a very long time longevity, well respected, well rented, well performing property, rather than, you know, running after the shiny object the most you know, like, I don't want to really open wounds, but I know that a lot of people ran to Austin, Texas, because everybody said, that's the market you gotta be in, Right prices, outrageous rents, looked good for a little while, then the property taxes got adjusted, the market collapsed, and now everybody is whining. I rather have my nice property in Dayton or in Cincinnati, and it's doing steady, as she goes, every month, every year, right? So that's what I meant by that   Keith Weinhold  42:30   a friend and prolific apartment investor, Ken McElroy, who's been a frequent guest on this show, Ken says, look for distressed properties, not distressed markets. There's a lot in that.   Dr Axel Meierhoefer  42:53   Yeah, I'm very much with Ken on that. And it's not just for apartment complexes. I think it fits just as well for single family or duplex triplex fourplex properties? Yeah, we   Keith Weinhold  43:03   want to avoid those distressed markets. It takes a long time for them to turn around, and every property in that market floats up or down with it. Well. Dr meyerhoffer, as we think about the future, you've been around this space for a while now, like you mentioned, you're even helping mentor some others. Where do you think the residential real estate market is headed the next few years? From your perspective,   Dr Axel Meierhoefer  43:27   I really have the feeling it's kind of a little bit like a coil spring that is basically being wound tighter and tighter and tighter. Because people may not agree with me. I think everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but I'm a little bit refusing to believe that the dream and the interest of owning your own property for yourself and your family supposedly has gone away. What I believe is that the circumstances both from a Can I qualify for a loan? Can I afford the price? Can my wages actually work for what I want to accomplish that balance is out of whack a lot right now, but I can totally see when we're looking in the future, that we will see interest rates coming down, properties still being in high demand. And for us as investors, I don't know if you had it on your show before, but I oftentimes being asked, you know, is it still the right time to invest. And my answer is always, like most people in residential real estate, the best time was 20 years ago. The second best time is today. Yeah. And if you adopt this idea of, like, this cold spring getting ready, I mean, just ask yourself people, the last time they really did anything meaningful was basically in 2022 let's just assume it takes another year until interest rates come down, and another six to nine months for the market to really start adjusting. So that takes us to the middle of 2027 that would mean for five years, hundreds of 1000s, if not billions, of people wanted to do something, wanted to move, wanted to get a house, wanted to get a bigger place. They've. Finally can that's kind of the window that I'm looking at with. Not to say there will never be another opportunity. But why would you wait until the market goes crazy when you have it really nice, really calm right now, almost no competition for an owner occupants. It's really an investor market right now. We can pick and we can be diligent, and we can negotiate with the builders and all this nice stuff, no time pressure. They even tell you, I know Keith. They tell you, too, when you have a client, make first sure that the client is qualified before we even talking about price. I remember times when I bought where I was told you have 72 hours to decide if you want it or not and get it under contract because of 100 people out the door who want it, it's the calm before the storm. If you ask me, I can tell exactly when that storm is really gonna hit, but nobody can convince me that if five years the market is basically frozen, that when you release it and open the door, that it's not going to be pretty crazy. Yeah, no, in my opinion,   Keith Weinhold  46:01   that's a good analogy. We're in this period where we have a compressed spring lower interest rates could open up that spring to bounce up, because we have, really, it's all this pent up demand, a pent up demand spring, and we know as mortgage rates fall, millions more people qualify increasing demand for a fixed supply of housing. Well, this has been helpful for the audience. In closing, Dr meyerhoffer, do you have any last thoughts, anything else that you want to share with the GRE audience at all?   Dr Axel Meierhoefer  46:35   Well, the one thing I would say is, you know, you want to work with somebody real estate investing, when you have somebody who has built the experience, like you have Keith with you, the programs and all the partners you're working with, similar to me, over the last 10 years, I think it's a great opportunity to do it now, where you can and have the time to learn and work together and take advantage of this relatively Calm market, because it's probably not going to stay that way. And on the other hand, I also feel that too many people are going like you said, in a slightly different context, after the current shiny object. And I would hate for people that made good money in the last year or two in the stock market to lose it all, because what goes up comes down, especially in these kind of assets, why not take some profits and put it where you really have the long term perspective, like you and I have always suggested for people,   Keith Weinhold  47:29   and is there a good resource where someone can connect with you? Because we've learned that you've taken such an interest in this and you've begun mentoring people. Is it ideal wealth grower?   Dr Axel Meierhoefer  47:38   Yeah. Idealwealthgrower.com we have a button for a complimentary conversation to just book a call. I would assume you agree. You know, when you work with people for longer term and for the personal things like money and investing, you kind of have to have a good relationship. You have to kind of in agreement where you want to go and whether you like each other and have a good energy with each other. So I always feel, let's talk, let's get to know each other. And if we decide we want to work together, then we do that. And if somebody says, You know what I really want to do, apartments. I know people. You know people, we can direct them to. Some people want to do storage units or whatever. So these conversations are really to say, let's get to know each other and see if the goals you have match with what I can help you with. And if that's a yes, then we are off to the races.   Keith Weinhold  48:24   Sort of reassuring in this algorithmic world that we live in, in this highly digital world that people you know really still matter, it's still about your connections with people. Dr Meyer Hopper, it's been great getting your perspective. Thanks so much for coming onto the show.    Dr Axel Meierhoefer  48:42   Thank you, Keith, for having me.   Keith Weinhold  48:49   Yeah, with the first GRE listener guest, Luke, it's just exemplary of how when you own the property now you make the rules, and in this case, you can increase your income multiples by converting your rental property into residential assisted living with the second listener guest, Dr meyerhoffer, I like his analogy of the coiled spring ready to open up as pent up housing demand should get released With lower interest rates. Both guests have a Military Connection, which is merely a coincidence. But today's listener guests were chosen because, unlike others that we've had here, they've each started their own real estate mentoring platforms influenced by listening to this show.    Keith Weinhold  49:35   Now in the preview to today's episode, I let you know that I have an opportunity to tell you about it's been pretty well documented that both Florida and Texas have temporarily overbuilt pockets, and this is where home builders, sometimes desperate, are willing to give you a deep deal. I've discussed Florida and their specific opportunities. What? About Texas? Listen to these deep deals, because Texas, it is one of the most in demand states for real estate investing, but cash flow is often hard to find due to property taxes and rising prices. That's why I'm excited to announce that here at GRE us with our coaches, we found a tiny stash of new construction, yet tenant occupied properties in San Antonio, the Houston suburbs and Dallas suburbs, and they are available exclusively to GRE listeners, four bed homes under 340k here's what's remarkable. There's up to $41,000 to you in incentives. That is 12% back at closing, interest only loan options as low as four and three quarter percent. Yes, they're already leased to long term tenants. This is a 19% cash on cash return potential put these properties into service and get bonus depreciation, like I discussed last week, up to $94,000 these incentives are just massive, and you can qualify with DSCR loans, no tax returns required, no w2 required. I mean, this whole thing is a bigger deal than a Bucky brisket sandwich, something else you'll find in Texas. These are all built either this year or last year. For example, like this beautiful three bed, two bath, single family rental in Conroe, Texas that I'm looking at right now. The sale price is just $279,900 and then you get all those incentives. The rent is almost $2,000 it's 1950 and it's over 1500 square feet on this really good looking property with garage. That's just an example of one of the income properties I'm talking about here. They are off market and they won't be available long. Don't miss out on this best performing Texas inventory we've seen many are already cash flowing, $500 plus a month. Chat with a GRE investment coach, and they'll show you the best picks before this inventory evaporates. Book time with them. It's free. You can do that at GRE investment coach.com. Until next week.

Do you ever feel like your words have to be perfect before they see the light of day? You're not alone. Many first-time authors get stuck in this cycle, endlessly tweaking sentences. But the truth is, your first draft isn't meant to be flawless. It's meant to be a foundation. Writing a book is a process—one that will challenge and refine not only your ideas but your voice, too. Embracing imperfection is key because it allows you to move forward, learn, and create something that can be polished into a masterpiece later.

In this episode, I'm talking with Axel Meierhoefer, a property and real estate investor and mentor, who helps others find the fastest route to their Time Freedom Point. Axel used to be a test pilot, initially for the German Air Force and then seconded to the US where he ended up staying once he retired from the military. All the time he was paying attention to what 'successful' people did with their money, which led him to becoming interested in property investment. Using his natural skills of learning, process development and application, he found a way to make it work for him and he's now taken those learnings and looks to help others make it work for them too. In our conversation, we cover such topics as: why the search for expert help can be compared to a scientific experiment; the importance of making all of your property investments a turn-key operation; and why the Time Freedom Point is only the start of your real journey. At the end of the day, becoming financially free is not a matter of luck, but a deliberate strategy that is diligently pursued. If you want to know more about Axel, check out the following links: Axel's Website Axel's Linkedin Profile So do check those out but for now, sit back, relax, think about how you can get out of the time-money trap and, most of all, enjoy.

One of the main pursuits in life, especially in the real estate world, is financial freedom. There comes a point in life when you have to retire from your job, but you aren't in a place to comfortably settle down and not have to think about future expenses. If you're thinking about starting out in real estate but do not know where to start or need a hand, Axel Meierhoefer has just the thing for you!  Axel, originally from Germany, came to the United States for a military exchange program and started a business around 2005. He founded Ideal Wealth Grower, a mentoring program that educates its clients using residential real estate. As a business owner, he started to consider allocating revenues toward retirement. Research showed that owning tangible assets would be the best way. He built up a residential real estate portfolio worth about $1.5 Million since is also the route that the government most strongly encourages. On his journey, he has made many relationships, learned about the pitfalls of purchases, and made good and bad decisions that ultimately reached economic independence. Come and listen so you can get more insight into what Axel has to say!

Today's guest, Axel Meierhofer, founder of idealwealthgrower.com and host of the Ideal Wealth Grower Podcast, began coaching real estate investors for an unusual reason — he has a passion for making sure people in his care don't die. Not that he has a particularly deadly approach to real estate investing. It's just that as a mentor and a leader, he cut his teeth as a German Air Force pilot, helping students learn how to pilot military aircraft — like Top Gun, only German. Meierhoffer's goal with new coaching recruits is to identify the “Time Freedom Point” — a volume of passive cash flow where you are able to start reclaiming your time, no longer dependent on a job to provide for your necessities or even your luxuries.

Another excellent conversation about financial independence and reclaiming your time. We're excited to host Axel Meierhoefer, Founder of Ideal Wealth Grower.Axel is a PhD who is a multi-country veteran, having flown for a couple decades in the United States and German Air Forces. When Axel reached the officer level, he found himself moving around every few years, which meant that he was not usually a prime candidate for on-base housing. That caused Axel to look within the local communities for real estate to purchase. He ended up landing a property with a 7/1 ARM (which others thought he was nuts to utilize), which remains one of his best deals ever!In 2005, Axel started his first company, focusing on consulting, employee skill development, and program management. As a business owner, he began thinking about applying profits towards retirement, and his research indicated that owning tangible assets would be the best way.Now, Axel teaches people how to accelerate their pathways toward financial freedom!On this episode, we discussed:- How Axel transitioned from the German to US Air Force- How a career in the military led to a career in financial coaching- The influence of Arnold Schwarzenegger on Axel's discovering real estate investing- Getting over analysis paralysis and taking the  first step toward passive income- Why residential real estate investing is a good plan for your money- How to earn money using investing with turnkey property providers- Reaching your Time Freedom Point- Why Axel is a proponent of tokenized real estate investing.- Working with mentoring clients to buy their first investment properties, and others to build their existing portfolios- Why to consider ARMs and Interest-only mortgages today.Get in touch with Axel:Ideal Wealth Grower website - https://idealwealthgrower.com/Mindset Manual - https://idealwealthgrower.com/free/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/idealwealthgrower/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/idealwealthgrower/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/ideal-wealth-grower/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZRy6092XyFWW9bhCbIt4QJoin Jason Muth and Attorney / Broker Rory Gill of NextHome Titletown and UrbanVillage Legal in Boston, Massachusetts for another episode of The Real Estate Law Podcast!#realestatepodcast #nexthome #humansoverhouses #realestate #realestateinvesting #realestateinvestor #realestatelaw #timefreedom #financialindependence #tokenizedrealestate #financialfreedom #cashflow #investments #quityourjob #passiveincome _____________________The Real Estate Law Podcast is hosted by Jason Muth and Attorney / Broker Rory Gill.This podcast and these show notes are not legal advice, but we hope you find both entertaining and informative.You can follow our sponsors here:NextHome Titletown Real Estate on InstagramNextHome Titletown Real Estate on FacebookNextHome Titletown Real Estate on LinkedInAttorney Rory Gill on LinkedInThe Real Estate Law Podcast, because real estate is more than just pretty pictures and law goes well beyond the paperwSupport the show

Check it out below:   [00:00:00] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: And that's why I'm saying we need to be aware. That's why these kinds of studies about, you know, where are we, where are we in the cycle, can this keep going on, or are we moving closer and closer to kind of like a realignment of some kind? And I think we do, I mean, certain things. I think we see it, you know, there's war in Ukraine, there's increasing friction between the United States and China as the two biggest economies in the world. Things are changing. [00:00:38] Sam Wilson: Axel Meierhoefer is the founder of Ideal Wealth Grower and host of The IDEAL Investor Show. He's a mentor that helps his clients reach their time freedom point. Axel, welcome to the show.  [00:00:49] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Hey, Sam. Thanks for having me.  [00:00:51] Sam Wilson: Hey, the pleasure's mine. Actually, there are three questions I ask every guest who comes in the show. In 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?  [00:00:59] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Yeah, absolutely. Well, I started in Germany, came over to the US with the military, stayed longer than anticipated, and then actually had to decide, do we go back or do we stay? We decided to stay and out of that came a job in the civilian world as an executive in a software company, which begged the question, okay, so do you want to work forever or do you find a way to, you know, have a point in time when you don't have to work anymore? I said, no, I don't want to work forever, but how do I make that happen and started to research. And at the time stock market was terrible. So I looked for alternatives, found real estate really studied, turned our house that we lived in into an investment property. So we could move and basically went down that rabbit hole deeper and deeper and deeper. And ultimately now where we are is I founded an organization called Ideal Wealth Grower, which invites people to receive mentorship to go down the same path that I've gone down to build a residential real estate portfolio and reach what we, like you said, call the time freedom point, which we define as the point in time on the calendar where your passive income, the money that your investments make is equal or more than your life expenses, including like having a vacation and getting some nice things and going out to dinner and all the other stuff that you have and keep growing from there. And then you have the freedom to decide, okay, if I don't really need my regular job or whatever other income source you have, what do I want to do with my time? Which can mean you keep doing what you're doing, because you love it, or it can mean you want to do half of it because you don't love it so much and do something that doesn't make money, but you love that more. Or you can say, Hey, you know, I don't want to do very much at all anymore that is creating time for money, but rather do things that I'm really passionate about it. And don't care about money because I know my passive income is taking care of me and my family.  [00:02:57] Sam Wilson: I like the idea of that. It's certainly a theme that we've had here a lot on the show, which is, you know, no longer trading time for money. I mean, that's a common theme, I think, in most real estate investment circles. But tell me this, do you have, and I know it depends on the types of investments that you're putting people into, but is there a general rule where you say, okay, if you're going to make investments, is there a nest egg size? Let's say you're trying to replace, we'll just keep this easy math, that you're trying to replace a hundred thousand dollars a year income. What do you see most people needing in order to get that far in a passive investing, I guess, portfolio? They need 1 million, 2 million, 5 million. What do you see on average?  [00:03:41] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Yeah. I mean, that million in asset value is one way to look at it. What I have done is actually to look at what is a realistic cash flow outcome from a residential real estate property, meaning like a three bedroom, two bath, four bedroom, two bath single family home or duplex, something like that. What I found is for, like what you're saying, a hundred thousand is kind of like in the area of about 8,500 a month or something like that, you're looking anywhere between 10 and 15 properties and depending on how much income, how much disposable income you actually have that can take anywhere from 8 to 12 years to get there. [00:04:18] Sam Wilson: Got it. That's a very precise answer. I appreciate that. That's very, very helpful. That's really cool that you helped people kind of get down that path. How did you hatch the idea that you could bring other people along this journey?  [00:04:30] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Well, I didn't hatch it to be very honest. Actually, other people hatched it so to speak for me and they hatched it based on the fact that, as I got more and more passionate and excited about the whole investing, I don't know, some people might say it feels a little bit like bragging, but I just felt it was exciting to me to tell other people what I was doing, you know, telling people, Hey, I found this awesome property in Idaho and I bought it and it's managed and it makes, at the time when we first started, it makes $200 a month. And then a couple of months later, we meet for, I don't know, Memorial day or Thanksgiving or something like that. And somebody says, so anything new that then you're doing? And I said, oh yeah, yeah, I found a new one in Ohio that I'm doing now, right? And so over time as I kept, my conversation became more and more I did this investment, that investment and so forth. And some of my friends and colleagues were saying, wow, I mean, you, aren't you afraid that, you know, like how do you know that they work? And so, I have always been in this kind of instructional, loving to educate other people kind of frame of mind. So I immediately started to get a quote, unquote, lecture people, oh, I'm looking at this and we analyze this and this and that and so forth. And after a while, people basically knew, okay, if we ask him something, he's going to probably go down that rabbit hole again. But there were also sometimes situations like I had a property we lived in California, in the Santa Barbara area. And when my wife and I moved, we turned that property initially into an investment property and then ultimately 1031 exchanged it into a whole bunch of smaller properties in the Midwest. So that was a great new story for our friends and family. And at some point, people back to the point of hatching said, you know, for years now you have been telling us about it and you have all this kind of fancy language and stuff like that. But the bottom line is you're obviously making the money because sometimes the conversations were okay, so you're doing this consulting work and the economy is going up and down. Do you always have enough money to actually pay for everything? And you're living in pretty expensive areas? And I said, well, you know, it's been all my business initially, but now it's subsidized by more and more of the passive income. And I'm actually looking forward to the day when all the passive income is enough. And I don't really have to necessarily work in any kind of regular job anymore. And that was probably the hedging point, right, where people said, well if that is really what is happening, you should tell other people how they can do that too.  [00:07:02] Sam Wilson: That's awesome. I love that. What are you telling people right now? I mean, the conversation, I mean, obviously everybody's crystal ball is broken, but people are looking right now, I think, especially investors are going, where are we? Where are we going? What's coming down the pike? I don't know. What are your thoughts on that?  [00:07:20] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: One thing that I've always been interested in let's say the last year or two, I have really started studying quite a bit is to see how have we, and to your original question, how did we get to where we are right now, but on the bigger picture. And so if somebody were to ask, okay, what did you study? Where did you go? What did you find? I, for example, looked at a book that I really, really recommend is called The Fourth Turning, which actually describes that economy and social developments are happening in cycles that are anywhere between about 90 to 120 years long. The two authors analyzed that for the last 500 years and found that about a hundred-year cycles keep repeating themselves. So if you look at where we are right now, we are at the end of a hundred-year cycle that started with The Great Depression, right? So if you read it, I don't want to go too deep about what that particular book says, but fundamentally that's one thing to say, okay, what are the indications of where we are and what is to be expected? Another one is the book called The Sovereign Individual, which basically was written just when the computer age started projecting that microprocessors and the internet and mobile phones and all that kind of stuff is fundamentally going to change our society. And I think we've all seen this, but what hasn't happened, and you and I, before we started recording, touched on blockchain and crypto and stuff like that. The Sovereign Individual is basically going through the extreme, in a sense to say, we need to have sovereign money, right, and you, if you think that through what I'm taking from, that is, well, ultimately the things that make us as individuals, sovereign, if that's really something that we want or that we believe that we have rights and so forth, then the things that we can really influence ourselves. So I go back to the fundamentals and say, okay, we, as human beings need shelter. We need safety. We need food. And we need one thing that Maslow doesn't have in his basics for pyramid of needs is some way to exchange with each other. Now, right now, if you take the money that we are always talking about, when we are talking about real estate investing is basically the money governed by our government. And we have ours in dollars and the Japanese have Yens and the Chinese have Won and the Europeans have Euros and sometimes you might be lucky to live in an area where the money is at least reasonably stable, even though if you look from The Great Depression to today, 99% of the value of the dollar is gone. If you compare what was the dollar worth in 1923 and what it is now, what you can take in 1913 when the federal reserve was started, anywhere between 95 to 99% of the value is gone, right? So why is that relevant? Because every kind of money, things like pretty pictures under the pieces of paper that have ever existed ultimately become worthless. So for me, going back to your original question, that means what I'm looking at is what are the things that retain their value. Nobody would debate that a gold coin, a one ounce gold coin has value, had value 5,000 years, 2,000 years, a thousand years, and today, right? I think something similar will happen with something like Bitcoin. But the other thing is when we go back, anything that is related to real estate always had value. And even in the way that we built here in the US, which is not like the Romans built or some of the early Europeans built, but even our houses now is a hundred years. And when you look at a house that was built in 1913 and kept up well, because $4,000 to build a really nice house then, that house is probably $400,000 now. [00:11:15] Sam Wilson: Every bit of.  [00:11:16] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: And the thing is what is really an interesting way to think about, when the people in 1913 when the fed was created, moved into this brand new house, did they get any different value from the house in what it is for? What does it provide? To somebody who buys that same house now fully renovated by a turnkey provider. And the new family moves into that same house, they get the same fundamental value of living in a space and all that out of the house. But it's a hundred times more expensive. Or you could say your money is a hundred times less valuable. Those kinds of things go through my mind. And that's why I'm saying, you know, for the people that I work with, I always want to get the message across that if you want to do something that creates a legacy, that gets you to the time freedom point, that allows you ultimately to turn something over to your kids and their kids can turn it over and so forth, then you need something that retains value. And that's where you get to real estate and gold and silver and maybe Bitcoin and things like that.  [00:12:22] Sam Wilson: Yeah. That is absolutely, absolutely true. The other way I think about that is things that can be repriced or repriced easily. I think about, you think about real estate. Okay. So you buy an income-producing real estate. Well, today you're paying in dollars, and then maybe it's next year, our version of money has changed, but I can still then reprice that to whatever that day's version of money is, is that kind of what you're saying?  [00:12:48] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Well, that's one way to look at it or you could basically go and say, okay, how much did an ounce of gold cost in 1913? How much does an ounce of gold cost right now? And how many ounces does it take to buy the house? And if you compare that to the number of dollars, you will be shocked because obviously, I'm not pooing currency because it's a dollar or because it's a yen or because it's a Euro, the system in and of itself, the way we are living in and where we are right now, if you look at our economy and you said the crystal ball is broken, true, but there is a lot of facts. You can't debate or deny the fact that we have more than 30 trillion, I can't even fathom what that means, but 30 trillion in national debt. That doesn't include city debt or state debt or anything like pension plan debt. Anybody who's ever done anything in business or even in your private life, where you're so, so over-leveraged in debt. Now we go and bring it to our real estate investing or your Bricken Investment Group and you think about, and talk to your clients. I'm sure you're bringing this up too. When the media tells us the federal reserve has increased the interest rates by 1%, for now one and a half percent in the last two cycles, it gives us automatically because we think in those categories, oh, one and a half percent. Yeah. That's something, but it's really not that much. It takes on a different quality when you look at it that, okay, that debt that we had in 2021 cost us 562 billion in interest at 0.25% interest. Now we are at 2.5%. How much is that? That's eight times as much. Well, and basic math tells us if it was 560 billion, it's eight times more interest and all we're talking about paying interest on it, it's eight times more than that, right? So we are looking now at potentially paying $2 trillion just an interest, but guess who is paying that? Anybody who pays taxes that in some way. And that's why I'm saying we need to be aware, and that's why these kinds of studies about, you know, where are we, where are we in this cycle, can this keep going on, or are we moving closer and closer to kind of like a realignment of some kind? And I think we do. I mean, certain things, I think we see it, you know, there's war in Ukraine, there's increasing friction between the United States and China as the two biggest economies in the world. Things are changing, not necessarily with guns, in Ukraine, yes. But in the bigger picture, we are not really shooting at each other, which used to be the way, right, the French revolution, World War I, and World War II and stuff. We used to shoot at each other and then at the end we reorganized everything. That's how the United States became the number one dog in the game, right? But I hope at least that we are not going to shoot at each other to realign, that we just realign by recognizing that certain things are just not sustainable going forward anymore. How is that going to look like? I can't predict, but one thing I know is people still need to live somewhere, right? And people still need to have some means of exchange with each other if they want to have any form of economy. However, that might look like. I don't know if we all going to have Bitcoin and Lightning Network in the future as our way of exchanging, or if we have a hybrid between regular money and digital money, who knows. But the means to exchange a service for a good, you know, something you do for some food that you buy or a car you want to have, and one of the ways that we are doing it in our Ideal Wealth Grower system is to help people to have value assets that even as the value of the money is declining, the value of the property remains. It's just more money. But that house in 1913 and the house in 2022 is the same house, fully renovated, same service that it provides to you. It's just more little pieces of paper that you need to put on the table.  [00:17:00] Sam Wilson: Right. Yeah, absolutely. I like that idea where the value of whatever it is you're investing in remains absolutely the same. Tell me about this. You guys have, are working on, or maybe you currently have a platform where it is bringing some liquidity to real estate investments. I know, especially for us here on the commercial side, when someone parks a hundred or 200 or $500,000 with me. That's a pretty illiquid investment for actually all of us, myself included. I'm in plenty of deals right now that are completely illiquid. My capital is parked. Of course, I get my returns, but it's still parked capital. How are you guys solving the liquidity issue in real estate investments?  [00:17:43] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Well, the way we are serving it is basically by what I call fractional or tokenized real estate investing. And it's in a sense, you know, yes, you are a person. Yes, you may have an asset like a house, but for the stuff that you do, you get paid in some form of income salary and stuff like that. If you take that analogy and you try to transfer that into a typically illiquid asset, like real estate, we are using a platform that a friend of mine has founded where they go out basically and say, okay, let's look at the criteria that we want to have for a well-performing residential real estate property. Let's say a fourplex, and that fourplex is somewhere in the Midwest and it costs $240,000. And we have four units, each unit is rented for 600 bucks. So we have $2,400 rent. Now I would say, and I'm sure you would say just on the phase, regardless of how the process works underneath, that's 1% performance between purchase price and rent. That's pretty good. And if these four units are reasonable, like one or two bedroom, one bath units, $600 a month is actually not really an outrageous level of rent, right? So you have some of the criteria, then you look at the region where it is and you find out, well, this house is in a nice neighborhood. It has good access to reasonable schools to shopping, to transport and all those things that you would normally use to identify suitable properties. So this company, this platform goes and said, let's sign a contract for a 123 Bricken Avenue where this house happens to be. They put it under contract and the right next step is to say, okay, now let's form an LLC. That we call 123 Bricken Avenue, LLC. And because it's $240,000 and we want to sell the shares at $50 a pop, it's, what, $4,800. And then they put that literally on the platform. And so we have two scenarios, people who come to us and say I have 10, 15, $20,000 that I can use to invest. And we all know how the markets have gone up in value. That's typically right now, too little to really be able to make an investment in a full property, right? If you take our $240,000 property, we need $48,000 down payment for 20% up. So if you have 20 or 25, I would say, well, let's park it in our cash flow parking spot, which is this platform because that 123 Bricken Avenue for your 20 or $25,000, we can get about 10% of that LLC in shares. Of those 4,800 shares, we can get probably 450 or 480 for the money you have. And you will participate in the performance of this property, in the cash on cash return. They have $2,400 rent, the depreciation, all the good stuff that I'm sure you have many times mentioned on how real estate is actually a really good investment and what it does for an investor. All of that, you participate in. The only thing that you don't have when you invest in this platform compared to buying a property outright is the leverage, right? Because if you had to only put in these 20% slash $48,000 and you get a $240,000 property, you make all the rent, you get the whole benefit, but you only needed to put 20% in. Well, if you go on that platform, it's basically a cash purchase. But the beauty is, and why we are recommending it is for one, for this person that has that 20, $25,000. But also for people to say, I know real estate investments is getting me into valuable assets just as we discussed earlier. But I only have a few thousand or I can only really put a couple of hundred dollars aside, but then you can get familiar, go through the same process, all the things that we normally do as I mentioned, and putting your money into this cash flow parking spot until it has grown to be enough to make a direct investment into your first own property. And the reason it's liquid, because that's what you were asking, Sam, is how do you do it to keep it liquid is that, in this kind of investing, it's a cash purchase and the rent proportionally to how many of the shares you own? Let's say you own 450 of the 4,800, you get proportionally that's about 9% or so, 9% of all the things, the depreciation, the rent, and so forth. You get every day. Now you don't get your tax papers every day. You get that once a year, but the rent is basically in your account. You can log into your account. And every day at 6:00 PM, you see the rent for the day is there, which also means if the day comes where you say, Hey, Sam actually wants to now buy this property next door. That is the same thing, same price, same rent, same thing, but they want to own it together. Well, then we sell our shares. We got our rent yesterday at 6:00 PM. And we get the value of our shares, plus any kind of appreciation and now have that cash to buy the property next door. That's just another fourplex, the same thing on the same street, right? So that's basically how we basically keep the liquidity because I call it the share, meaning like the relationship between those who actually have the property on the platform and us as the investors is updated 6:00 PM every day. So the fact that your share, basically your relationship with the providers is up to date at 6:00 PM every day, which means you basically are good. You have your rent money. Everything is in your account. If you say, I want to sell my 450 shares tomorrow, you get the value of your shares. If there was any appreciation in the property, then they're not $50. There might be $51 now per share. Plus you get got all your rent up until yesterday night. So you're all good.  [00:23:43] Sam Wilson: That's amazing.  [00:23:43] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Obviously, these shares don't go back to some kind of title company. They just go to somebody else, either in the LLC or on the platform where every Friday after 3:00 PM, any shares that have been provided back to the platform for, say, for anybody who goes there and wants to have some more, right? So it's basically, very, very liquid in that sense, but all the rules, all the things that we and your audience are familiar with when it comes to residential real estate investing apply except for the finance.  [00:24:14] Sam Wilson: Right. Axel, this has been absolutely fascinating. Thank you for taking the time to come on the show today to kind of break down where you think we are going in the economy. We've talked a lot about money. We've talked about ideal wealth growing and talking about, you know, finding the right amount of cash flow to how much money you're looking to replace. Things like that. And then also just a really unique platform that you guys are working on that is bringing liquidity to the real estate, I guess, you could call it shares space 'cause they're, that is really what's lacking is liquidity amongst shareholders. So I think that's going to be a really interesting thing that, you know, and we see this coming. It's something that's been needed for a long time. So thank you for taking the time to kind of pioneer that product and figure it out here for our investors. If we want to get in touch with you or learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?  [00:25:00] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: One best way is to just go to idealwealthgrower.com and wait about 30 seconds and something pops up and says, set up a call, so you can do that. And you get like, an invitation to the newsletter and stuff like that. But also if you just put Ideal Wealth Grower into Google or any other search engine, we are pretty much on any social platform and so forth. So there's a thousand roads that lead somehow to get to us and get in touch.  [00:25:26] Sam Wilson: Awesome. And we want to make sure, of course, we put that in the show notes, idealwealthgrower.com. Axel, thank you again for going to the show today. I certainly appreciate it.  [00:25:34] Dr. Axel Meierhoefer: Yeah. Awesome. Thanks, Sam. Thanks for having me.

Today I would like to talk about the topic of Financial Wellness.

BIO: Axel Meierhoefer was born in Germany, served 22 years as an air force aviator and instructor. In 2005, he started his consulting company then discovered real estate investing during the recession. STORY: Axel blindly invested in penny stocks in the late 90s. He knew nothing about penny stocks at the time, and he ended up losing $75,000 after the market fell suddenly. LEARNING: Never get involved in anything that you don't understand. Understand how company P/E ratios work and how they affect a stock.   “If it's initially interesting, I'll first go into research until I'm satisfied I understand it well enough to commit money to it.”Axel Meierhoefer  Guest profilehttps://www.linkedin.com/company/ideal-wealth-grower/ (Axel Meierhoefer) was born in Germany, served 22 years as an air force aviator and instructor. In 2005, he started his consulting company then discovered real estate investing during the recession. Now, experiencing financial freedom, he wants to share his secrets and life lessons with us. You can find him on his https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZRy6092XyFWW9bhCbIt4Q (Ideal Wealth Grower YouTube Channel). Worst investment everIn the late 90s, Axel was appointed the program manager for this new German Flight Training Center in the US. While at the center, the media kept constantly drumming on how necessary it was for everybody to be in the stock market. It was going on and on about the Dot-com boom that would change everything. At the time, neither Axel nor most other people he was with had any idea what a blue-chip stock or a penny stock was. But one thing that was the real fascination, initially for him, was that it didn't take a rich person to start participating because the penny stocks were relatively cheap, well below $1 apiece. So you could buy like several thousand without investing a substantial amount. He figured if it's not a considerable number, it won't make a difference, so he bought a bunch of stocks. In just a few months, the stocks gained, and some of Axel's friends cashed in their stocks, but he decided to hold onto his stocks. Unfortunately, the stock's value plummeted as fast as it had gained. Axel ended up losing $75,000. Lessons learnedDon't get involved in anything that you don't understand.

The one thing that stood out above everything with Axel Meierhoefer is his dedication to Precision and Excellence. Our conversation is the journey from his early passion for aviation and how that led him to understanding that success is when… “People really gel into a coherent team that enjoys collaborating with each other.” He says it's about anticipating what the next person needs, when it is needed and what you need to do, not because somebody told you, but because you're doing it in support of the overall objective. “That form of success has a lot to do with trust… It's a very special chemistry.” It's a level of trust that's not easy to establish, especially because people mostly have different personalities, goals and perspectives on how things should be.     Full Text for this post along with Axel's website and social links are all available at: www.lifepassionandbusiness.com/axel-meierhoefer-precision-excellence     Life Passion & Business is dedicated to exploring what it takes to be Extraordinary, to face challenges and rejoice in the opportunities they bring, and expand our vision into new ways of thinking and living.

In this episode, Nate and Axel discuss:How Axel got interested in and started in real estate investment. Choosing and working with a turnkey partner. Developing relationships for successful partnerships. Finding and securing properties regardless of the market.  Key Takeaways:If you work with the same people for both the renovation and the maintenance, it makes sense that they will put more work in to do the renovation properly from the beginning. You do not need a new relationship, with a new group of people, for every property. As soon as you get the energy, mindset, and inspiration to go down your own creation path, it all becomes a numbers game.Don't be afraid of big numbers. They aren't as unattainable as you think they are.  "The most important aspects are the performance of the property and how can I build a trusting relationship with the people who do the work on my behalf." —  Axel Meierhoefer Connect with Axel:Website: expediteyourbusiness.com & idealwealthgrower.comYouTube: youtube.com/channel/UCvZRy6092XyFWW9bhCbIt4QLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ameierhoeferDownload Axel's Mindset Manual at: idealwealthgrower.com Connect with Dr. Nate Lambert:Website: ActiveLifePassiveIncome.com     Book: Active Life, Passive IncomeShow: ActiveLifePassiveIncome.com/EpisodesEmail: Nate@ActiveLifePassiveIncome.comFacebook:  facebook.com/Active-Life-Passive-Income-102699594994762YouTube: youtube.com/channel/UC--vkBu2-54tS0cZ-IxCLNQLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/natemlambertInstagram: instagram.com/natemlambert  Show notes by Podcastologist: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Strong leaders build strong teams. Dr. Axel Meierhoefer shares why companies need great leaders, and how to spot one.     If you can go to work every day and do something you believe in that's meaningful and has a purpose, then the money is basically out of the picture. -Axel Meierhoefer Takeaways + Tactics Companies focus too much on teaching management skills to their executives, at the expense of teaching leadership skills. Failure analysis and victory celebration are both keys to growth. The biggest motivator for millennials is having a sense of purpose.
