I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. Home Prices Aren't Really Up! Brace yourself. A mic drop moment on real estate costs is coming.  It's an unmasking - a reality check on property prices. Are homes actually still priced too LOW today? How could that POSSIBLY be true at all? On Get Rich Education. _____________   Welcome to GRE! From Belgrade, Serbia to Belleville, Illinois and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold and you're listening to Episode 501 of Get Rich Education.   We'll get to “Are homes overpriced or underpriced today?” shortly.    But understand this…   I successfully acquired something at a young age. And you can too. That thing that I successfully got ahold of was not millions of dollars… because I came from average means.   What I intentionally and successfully acquired was millions of dollars in debt.   Yes, obtaining millions in debt from a young age… is what led to me quitting my day job while I was young enough to enjoy it.   You, the longtime listener, COMPLETELY understand and appreciate what I just said. If you're a newer listener, that sounds unusual or even irresponsible. Well, come along for the ride.    Also, a layperson - or a newer listener - would respond with, “No one talks that way, thinks that way, or does that.” - taking out millions in debt and calling THAT aspirational.   But using that debt as leverage is how you ethically take funds from the big banks - take Chase Bank's money, take Bank of America's money, take Wells Fargo's money - learn how to use it, be a responsible steward of the funds, provide good housing for people and prosper.    That means you get the return on both your down payment - and the entire amount that you borrowed from those banks. That all goes to you. And both your tenants and inflation pay the debt back - not you.   Look, I know one person. I personally know a guy - Greg. Greg makes $80K a year from his day job. Good guy, married guy, one kid.    And his NW increased by $2M just in the COVID run-up. He has a modest salary but his NW is up $2M just since 2020.   First of all, do you think that any of Greg's co-workers experienced that effect? No, he's really going down my path. You soon get unrelatable to co-workers and even some of your peers.   Well, what makes it possible for a good family guy - or anybody - to go from a middling salary to obtaining life-changing wealth?    It takes leverage. He borrowed for bank loans. That way, he could acquire 5x as much property than if he paid all cash for his rental properties.    That way, he had 5x as MANY properties… and properties all appreciate at the same rate regardless of how much equity you have in them.    See, if he had paid all cash, he'd only have a $400K capital gain. Not bad, but $2M is life-changing. Thanks to leverage.   Everyday people obtain life-changing wealth this way. It's so substantial… that it won't only affect Greg's life. If he continues on this way, it'll take care of his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.    And you know, maybe this is why, one of the most recurrent guests we've had here in the history of this GRE, Ken McElroy, he says:   “The best investment in RE is the one that appreciates the most, not the one that cash flows the most.” That's Ken McElroy. And now you can see why he says that.   Leveraged appreciation creates wealth the fastest. Cash flow is important and it CAN boost wealth but that happens more slowly. Principal paydown doesn't create it - it enhances it… and it's the same with tax benefits.   Deferring your tax on a 1031 means that you can re-leverage a greater amount.   Low interest rates also don't create wealth. In fact, I bought my first ever income property with a 6⅜% mortgage rate and my second income property with a 7⅝% rate - that second one had interest-only payments.    But I borrowed the maximum amount that I could without OVERleveraging. Overleverage means losing control of the mortgage and operating expenses.   The lesson here is… get the leverage.   And… case in point. Here we go…   Speaking of appreciation, the LATEST Case-Shiller Home Price Index figure came in. The US currently has… 6.4% YOY home price appreciation. Now, their index is only based on 20 cities but that gives you a pretty good idea.    In fact, that is the fastest rate of increase since 2022.   Now, if you've let equity build up in your properties to the point that they're half paid off, you had 2x leverage, meaning the 6.4% appreciation just gave you a 12.8% leveraged return on your skin in the game.   And, of course, if you leveraged with a 20% down payment a year ago, that 6.4% means that you just got a 32% return.   And as we know, these returns I just told you about are from one of just one of FIVE ways that you're expected to be paid simultaneously.   But yeah, a 6.4% higher is merely a DOLLAR-DENOMINATED price. That's what that is. Why do I say that carefully?    Well, there are a few reasons that home prices are 6.4% higher - inflation from dollar printing could be why, the value - not price - but some properties have a greater VALUE, distinctly separate from inflation.   What's the distinction there - how does this happen? What's one difference between an INFLATED price and a greater value?    Well, say that a local economy is hot because there are more high-paying jobs there now than there were last year - say an influx of medical jobs or AI jobs or chipmaking jobs.    Well, even absent inflation, a property that now has PROXIMITY to better-paying jobs - that's now a property that's more desirable.    Someone is more willing to PAY MORE FOR - and simply CAN pay more for. Again - that phenomenon is ABSENT inflation.   What's another reason that home prices rise - and rose 6.4% YOY in this case?    If better PHYSICAL AMENITIES are in new homes than there used to be - say bigger garages or new communities with pickleball courts, well, people are more willing to pay more for that.    To review, there are three reasons that home prices go higher: inflation, appreciation from value creation - like how the same home is now located closer to more high-paying jobs, and thirdly, better built-in amenities.   All three of those increase dollar-denominated price or value. They all increase the nominal price.   Now, let's pivot into the fact that “Home Prices Aren't Really Up”.    I've covered this a little before, but I'm going to go deeper today in giving you the most comprehensive look at home prices today - compared to the past - perhaps than you've ever had in your life.   Some might say, “C'mon. How can this be? Homes cost, perhaps 40% more than they did just four years ago.”   Well, I've got a mic… drop… moment… coming.   - Home Prices Aren't Really Up.   We need a good measuring stick to see what home prices are doing. So we've got to stop pricing homes in dollars for a minute. It's a poor long-term value measure.   Ludicrous inflation means the dollar has lost over 25% of its value just since 2020, and 97% of its value since 1920.   Let's use a commodity and money that has been valued for five millennia - and its physical properties have not changed one bit in allll that time, and its valued across continents and cultures - that's 50 centuries of value! That's gold.    We'll get to a more modern measure soon. But first, gold is the best one.   Now, I don't know who to credit, but for a while, there was an image floating around out there that GRE got ahold of.    It showed that 10 kilos of gold would buy you an average home back in 1920… and also, that 10 kilos of gold would still buy you an average home today… total… mic… drop… moment. Wow! Is there any better evidence that home prices are NOT up - but higher prices reflect that the dollar is down?   Actually, yes, there is a little better evidence. We ran the numbers here and learned that - it's even more astounding than that!    You run how many dollars per ounce gold is worth, that 35ish ounces are in a kilo and you look at home prices then and now and we discovered that - it's even more of a jaw-dropper…   … because in 1920 - which I'll just call a century ago - you could buy an average home for 8 kilos of gold and today, you can buy an average home for just 6 kilos of gold.   So if you want to know how much home prices have changed in the last century, they are down 25%.    They're 25% cheaper today in terms of gold - clearly a more stable value indicator than horrendously diluted dollars are.   And also, GRE made a new image that shows this - 8 kilos for an average home a century ago, 6 today. I sent you that image in our newsletter about ten days ago and that image got shared a LOT of times. Your first reaction to this whole thing could be: "Wow! That's wild. The dollar really is sooo diluted." Alright. What about home prices in terms of a popular, nascent asset that only arrived fifteen years ago, bitcoin? 2016: Average home cost $288K, or 664 bitcoins. 2020: Average home cost $329K, or 45 bitcoins. 2024: Average home cost $435K, or 7 bitcoins. So, eight years ago, a home cost 664 bitcoins and today it costs 7.  That means that home prices are down 25% in terms of gold in the last century. But they're down 99% in bitcoin over just the last 8 years. And the dropped mic keeps reverberating through the stadium. Today's homes are cheaper in gold and drastically cheaper in bitcoin.  See, it takes real world resources and proof of work to create real estate, gold, and bitcoin. None of these things are required to produce a dollar - none of them. That's why its value is approaching zero. But let's go deeper. You need more answers - you are part of a really intelligent audience.  Because you might be thinking: "Wait a second. Some other things have changed too." For real people - everyday people - aren't home prices actually more out of reach than this? That's because since 1920, home prices have risen faster than incomes. That puts them OUT OF REACH for more people. Something else has changed. A home's lot size is smaller today too - the land that comes with the property has a smaller area. Let's understand too - homes also use some cheaper materials today. For example, heavy, milled raw wood doors - the interior doors - of yesteryear have given way to molded particle board today. This is beginning to build the case - evidence - that homes SHOULD be cheaper than they are today.  Let's keep going, because there's more to consider. Mortgage rates themselves - just rates in isolation - they don't put homes out of reach at all. The long-term average is 7.7%, per Freddie Mac, on the 30-year FRM. That average goes back to 1971, when they first began tracking them.  Oppositely, you can make the case that U.S. homes should cost even more than they do today. In many advanced nations, homes are way more pricey. Even next door in Canada, they cost about 20% more than U.S. homes. Canadian salaries are lower than US salaries too - yet their home prices are markedly higher. On some levels, you're getting more "home" today in the US.  A 1920 home would feel savagely uninhabitable to you if you tried to live in one now.  Here's what I mean… In 1920: 1% of homes had electricity and full plumbing. Today: 99% of homes have electricity and full plumbing. What I mean then, by savagely uninhabitable, is enjoy walking to the outhouse in the middle of the night when it's 35 degrees. Then there's size: 1920: The average home had 242 sf per person. Today: The average home has 721 sf per person. Because today, family sizes are smaller and homes are way larger too. Today's amenities would be unthinkable in 1920—walk-in closets, roofs with R38 insulation, double-paned thermal windows, smart thermostats, voice-controlled lighting, quartz countertops, and Kitchen Aid appliances. Maybe even a security system. They're all things that homes have today. Gosh, even the fact that you have a garage - a HEATED garage even, finished basement, air conditioner and modern washer-dryer would leave 1920 homeowners dumbstruck with their mouth agape—maybe even flabbergasted. Those old folks from yesteryear wouldn't believe all that you get with a home today. Yet that 1920 home would have cost you more in gold, than today's more sizable homes with all their plush amenities. Now, when it comes to - though home prices aren't up, are they more “out of reach” for the average American?” Over the past five years, they ARE - because home prices have now risen faster than incomes over THAT stretch. But another BIG reason that homes are SUBSTANTIALLY more affordable today than they were in 1920 is… financing terms.  Today, you can make a down payment for between 3% and 20% on a home. Do you know what loan terms were like in 1920? You had to make a 50% down payment and then had to pay off your mortgage in 5 years.  Can you IMAGINE if that were the case today? How many people could put 50% down on a home today and then pay off the balance within 5 years. Virtually nobody. That's why homes are more within one's grasp today. Overall, you can see that there are a lot of countervailing factors here… tempering that it took 8 kilos of gold to buy a home a century ago, and it just takes 6 kilos today.  The bottom line here is that, long-term, real home prices aren't up. Dollars are down because they've been printed like crazy.  From today, nominal home prices could keep rising for years.     Dustin on social had a funny comment about this - “How many baconators from Wendy's would it take to buy a home today?” Ha!    I don't know. I guess that's a hamburger - I don't go to Wendy's. Maybe then, a home costs 60,000 baconators today.    Coming up straight ahead - what will happen first - a $750K median-price home, $100K bitcoin, or $5K gold.   Also, what's perhaps the biggest trend in real estate investing that not enough people are talking about - and how you can make money from it… and more… all next - I'm KW. You're listening to Get Rich Education.  ______________   Welcome back, to Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold.   On our latest GRE Social Media Poll, we ran this question.   What will happen first?   The median home value hits $750K. Bitcoin hits a $100K price. Or… Gold hits $5K.   I'll give you the result, but what do you think? Again, which one of these three things will happen first?    The median home value hits $750K. Bitcoin to $100K. Or… Gold hits $5K.   The results across both LI and IG were pretty similar - sometimes you get differences there, as LI is a more professional audience.    One voter in the poll also commented - it's syndication attorney Mauricio Rauld, who we've had here on the show before.    Mauricio said: I think assuming Bitcoin doesn't collapse, it probably makes a run to $100K in the next few years (who knows, could be next few months). But with the median home, at 10% a year, it would take 6 years to hit $750K so that is a decade away. That's his thought - sounds reasonable.    The poll RESULT is: Bitcoin will hit $100K first. That was most likely, with 57% of you answering that. That makes sense since its volatile and close to striking distance.   The median home value will hit $750K finished 2nd. 26% of you said that.   And gold up to a $5K price got just 17% of the vote. That makes sense since gold prices would have to about double from here.   You can always join along in the conversation and polls. We are really easy to find - because on virtually every social platform - Facebook, Instagram, LI, YouTube - we ARE: “Get Rich Education”.   Over on the Get Rich Education YouTube Channel, I recently covered how the Fed is overseeing a “Tug of War” between inflation and a recession. They don't want the game to end. The Fed is trying to keep the game going.    They don't want participants on either side falling into a pit in the middle of the Tug of War game between inflation and a recession. They don't want either side to win. If one side wins, the Fed loses.   This “Tug of War” game is really a great way to understand how the Fed works, how they control your money, and what their motivations are. A video about that is on our YouTube channel - where you get the visual of the Tug of War game between inflation and a recession.   That's just one example of how that content is often different from what you're hearing now. Get more… on our YouTube Channel… called “Get Rich Education”.   The homeownership rate just fell again a little, quarter-over-quarter, increasing the number of renters and rental demand, which I expect will only continue. From CNBC, Realtor.com's Chief Economist Danielle Hale tells us more. Let's listen in. It's about why the housing market is pretty dire for young Americans, then I'll be right back with some key commentary on this. Yeah, there in Economist Danielle Hale's interview - if mortgage rates go higher, inventory pulls back and we tend to see modest HPA. Most agree that if mortgage rates go lower, we'll see RAPID HPA.   She also just keeps exposing what we all know. “We need to build more housing”.   A brand-new home constructed with a renter in mind, sold to an investor, is known as build-to-rent housing. You'll see it abbreviated BTR. It's usually single-family.   Some abbreviate it B2R. These must be the same people that say H2O instead of water.    It's become massively popular.   Despite an overall housing shortage, last year, a record 27,495 BTR homes were completed.    That's up 75% from the prior year and up an astounding 307% since pre-pandemic deliveries back in 2019.   So what's driving the build-to-rent trend? Locked into low mortgage rates, existing homeowners won't sell. So, instead, new inventory must be constructed. More overall housing demand than supply. Wannabe first-time homebuyers cannot afford homes today. Renting a BTR is next best. National BTR occupancy is over 96%. BTR operates similarly to apartment buildings under property management, yet offer a single-family living experience.   Some of these communities have: leasing offices, pools, and fitness centers.   The homes themselves often have: luxurious modern finishes, garages, and fenced backyards.   What's in it for investors? How do you make money with BTRs? 5% mortgage rates* (I'll get back to that in a minute) A long-term ownership focus, generating revenue over time rather than immediately Tenants have a house-like feel. Expect 3+ years avg. tenancy duration. Mgmt. fees are low because all houses are the same and all in the same area too BTR purchase prices are HIGHER than resale property. You will pay more. Expect better appreciation than resale property The rent range is often $1,500 to $3,500 You can expect low maintenance. It's new. Builder home warranty So there are a ton of factors that give build-to-rent investor appeal. Really, 5% mortgage rates? Yes. Here at GRE, we can introduce you to some BTR homebuilders that will buy down your rate for you. One is lowering it to 4.75%.    I encourage you to get that incentive now, because when mortgage rates fall substantially, I don't expect these national and regional homebuilders to keep giving you the rate buydown.    Sorry J-Pow. This kinda makes your next Fed rate decision… seem pretty irrelevant.   It's a great rental model to pursue and an amazing time to do it with the rate buydowns. I wish BTR would have existed when I began as an investor.   You really didn't start hearing about BTR at all until about ten years ago.   Now, I appear as a guest on other business and investing shows. Quite a few times, the host asks me where the REI opp is today.    The answer that I've been giving is that it's with build-to-rent properties and these rate buydowns.   An income-producing asset is like your employee that's working for you—but without the personality problems. The property is also working for you 24/7.    Besides just helping you find the best BTR deals today, we can help set up an entire real estate investment portfolio plan for you.   -We can help build an income-producing RE portfolio for you with our free coaching. Truly free.    Now, if you're new here, you might think that we're trying to sell you something - and we aren't.    The way it works elsewhere is that some people get attracted to the free thing and then once you're on the phone or Zoom or free live, in-person event, they're going to try to sell you their better PAID coaching or some online course for a fee.   We don't even sell coaching or sell a course. This is free no-strings, no upsell, no catch coaching.    OK, it's sort of the opposite of your auto dealer calling you about your extended warranty - an overpriced item that you don't want. Ha! If you want to buy something from GRE, you can't because we don't even have anything to sell you. We are here to help!    Also, I have no problem with companies selling paid courses or paid coaching - not at all. Some courses are worth paying for. It's just not what we do or have EVER done here.   But see, buying real estate that you own directly is still not as simple as just finding a keyboard and pressing: Ctrl, alt,  Deal.   So that's why our Investment Coaches help you learn your goals, and navigate the process. Then you'll want to keep in touch with your coach because the best deals are often changing.    For example, you might think that you want to buy income property in, just say, Alabama, because its prices haven't run up as much as they have in Florida.   But we keep regular lines of communication open with build-to-rent homebuilders nationwide… and say there's a new community, in, Florida, where the real deals are going to be for the next few months…    …and though you still like Alabama, you like how Florida is growing faster so you end up going there.   Or there's better cash flow with some BRRRR strategy properties in say, Ohio, that we have that your coach informs you about.    So, I encourage you. Get & maintain a line of communication with your GRE Investment Coach.   To review what you learned today:   Leverage is THE most powerful wealth creator.   You can make the case that homes are NOT overpriced today. Home prices aren't up; the dollar is down.   No one knows the future. But there is ample room for more home price growth.    Build-to-Rent property keeps increasing in popularity… and investors can get mortgage rates on them as low as about 5%.   To contact an investment coach, it's free, start at GREmarketplace.com.   Until next week, I'm your host, KW.

Die neueste Folge "3. Halbzeit - Euer ProLeague Talk" ist da. Wir freuen uns euch wieder begrüßen zu dürfen zum Auftakt der Saison 26 und zu einer Community Überraschung. Also unbedingt reinhören! Der Meister Equality 05 bittet zum Tanz - Wer wird sich die League ONE Krone krallen? Equality 05 hat gezeigt, das man an ihnen Vorbei muss wenn man Meisterschafts Ansprüche hat. Doch wie wird es in der Saison 26? Genau diese Frage stellen sich unsere drei Podcast Hosts. Wird Equality 05 wieder das Maß aller Dinge? Werden sich die direkten Verfolger wie All4TheGame, Core Gaming, Knallgas oder auch Awanta eSports (ehem. Death Row Army) dieses Mal nicht die Butter vom Brot nehmen lassen? Wie wird der Kampf um das Internationale Geschäft? Und wie sieht der Kampf im Tabellenkeller aus? Die League TWO empfängt glücklose Raiders - Schaffen sie den direkten Turnaround zurück in Liga 1? Mit den Raiders empfängt die zweite Liga einen Absteiger der, anhand einer sehr ausgeglichen TD, zwar den großen Teams Gegenwehr zeigten und doch unglücklich die Spiele verloren in Saison 25. Können sie den negative Flow abwerfen und direkt wieder aufsteigen? Kann Easy die hohe Qualität wiederholen? Welches Team wird uns überraschen können, dank einer guten Transferphase? Und auch hier natürlich die spannenden Fragen, wie sich Vortex als Liga 2 Neuling eingrooven kann und wen wir im Tabellenkeller wiederfinden werden. Malte, aLFr3d und Merlin klären auf, wie sie die Liga gewappnet sehen für die Saison 26. Die Spannung in League THREE bleibt weiterhin hoch - Wer kann sich im Aufstiegskampf durchsetzen? Die League THREE startet in Saison 26 diesmal ohne neues Team in den Ligabetrieb. Grund hierfür ist ein Mini Skandal im Newcomer Spiel zwischen Iconiq und Vortex. Dazu gab es einen ProLeague Artikel, gerne klären Malte und aLFr3d euch dennoch auf. Doch auch abseits dessen wird es in der Saison 26 der League THREE nicht ruhig her gehen. Die Mannschaften scharren mit den Hufen. Schaffen Ballers und die Sportfreunde es erneut mit starken Leistungen oben mitzuspielen? Kann Hackelberry mit seinem Torriecher erneut dafür sorgen, dass die Seahawks mit den eben beiden genannten Teams mithalten und vielleicht auch Aufsteigen kann? Können die beiden verbliebenen Absteiger Beerwars und Invincible Club den Abstieg verarbeiten und vielleicht direkt wieder im Aufstiegskampf ein Wörtchen mitreden? Welche Teams werden uns diesmal überraschen können? Seid bereit, für eine spannende League THREE! Das alles erfahrt ihr nur hier - Euer 3. Halbzeit - ProLeague Talk! Also viel Spass beim anhören :) Achtung, Achtung, eine wichtige Mitteilung an die Community, Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörer: Ihr wollt an unserem Community Tippspiel mitmachen und besser sein als unsere 3te Halbzeit Moderatoren?

You've waited a long time for your new construction multifamily investment to finish. Your certificates of occupancy have finally arrived. Now it's time to fill each unit with tenants and get your property cash flowing. What's the best way to go about it? In this episode, the B2R hosts discuss lease-up, property management, incentives, rental income, and more as they reflect on current and past projects.   Subscribe to our show on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN1n353tbqMuK7HKi6GmQlg?sub_confirmation=1   Website: https://www.b2rshow.com/ LEAVE A 5-STAR REVIEW! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #BuildtoRent #B2RShow #LeaseUp #Tenants #PropertyManagement

Luke graduated from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic (WIOC) in 2015 and started an innovative rehabilitation and healthcare company called Back to Roots (B2R) in 2016. Frustrated by the Chiropractic professions traditional model of care Luke teamed up with Paul McCambridge to create a company that marries up ‘evidence based practice' and holistic healthcare in a person centred way, greatly inspired by Play. In 2017 Luke and Paul started guest lecturing at the University of South Wales, WIOC, and over the passing years have had greater impact at the University with B2R methods with Paul now being course leader and Luke lecturing weekly in the 3rd and 4th years of the course. Luke has and still mentors healthcare professionals and trainers in the B2R approach and has spoken internationally on the topic of exercise adherence and musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Luke, Paul and the B2R team have been running CPD events around the world for the past 5 years, receiving British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM) and Exercise and Sports Science Australia (ESSA) accreditation. B2R created “Pain Clinic”, A 12 week self management programme delivered via the Results Wellness Lifestyle app which is also undergoing trials for approval to be accessible on the National Health Service (NHS) here in the UK. Luke has also completed a Sports and Exercise Science Degree and has a vast interest in exercise from Rugby, to Weightlifting, to Gymnastics, to dance, to boxing, to capoeira, to strongman just to name a few. At the time of writing Luke has led two SOLD-OUT B2R internships with Samantha Emmanuel. Here we bring leaders of the field of movement, fitness, rehab and evidence based practice into one community inclusive of Coaches, Physical Education Teachers, Dancers, Fighting Monkey teachers, Physiotherapists, Chiropractors, Occupational therapists, Exercise Physiologists, Strength Coaches and students of all fields together to experience thoughtless, fearless, relaxed movement; and to prescribe it; and how to sell it .

How hard is it to create the types of deals you wish you could find on the MLS? It's unfortunate that quality real estate investments are getting harder to find on the open market. But that doesn't mean there are not plenty of opportunities. The Build-to-Rent Show: https://www.b2rshow.com/

Watch This Episode On YouTube: https://youtu.be/C2VcjOTNo8c Looking back on this year, the B2R hosts discuss various challenges they've faced as they continue to expand their build-to-rent portfolios. Phoenix has given them the most trouble, requiring that their fourplex development be platted as condos. This is a notable change from their usual investing model. What does this mean for their returns? How can investors adapt going into 2022?

Wagner's company, B2Rent concentrates on new construction builds that are ONLY for investors.  New construction tends to be cheaper to maintain with less capex expenditures and lower tax and insurance bills.Florida has one of the LOWEST property tax rates in the nation and the largest in-migration.  It is predicted by 2025, an additional 1.4 MILLION people will call Florida home.As a turnkey provider, B2RDirect's average collection rate is 98.5%, vacancy rate is 0% and average tenant stay is 3-4 years!3,000 lots will be developed in the next few years by B2R.  Tune in to learn more and see if Florida makes sense for your investment portfolio!Helpful Resources:B2RDirect - http://b2rdirect.com/Buy a Florida property! - http://www.build2rentdirect.com/Connect with Wagnerwagner@b2rdirect.comText Wagner (305) 684 - 2222https://www.wealthandfreedomnexus.com/investment-opportunities.html#turnkeyStay connected with Wealth and Freedom Nexus!Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wfreedomnexus/Twitter      https://twitter.com/WFreedomnexusYouTube   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHknisS7CBlnD6mgTJugA7wWebsite & Blog  www.wealthandfreedomnexus.comAs always, be sure to follow, subscribe, rate and share this podcast with other like-minded individuals who are in pursuit of wealth and freedom!

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.09.01.278416v1?rss=1 Authors: de Sousa Maciel, I., Azevedo, V. M., Oliboni, P., Campos, M. M. Abstract: Menopause is related to a decline in ovarian estrogen production, affecting the perception of the somatosensory stimulus, changing the immune-inflammatory systems, and triggering depressive symptoms. Inhibition of kinin B1 and B2 receptors (B1R and B2R) inhibits the depressive-like behavior and mechanical allodynia induced by immune-inflammatory mediators in mice. However, there is no evidence on the role of kinin receptors in depressive-like and nociceptive behavior in female mice submitted to bilateral ovariectomy. This study shows that ovariectomized mice (OVX) developed time-related mechanical allodynia and increased immobility time in the tail suspension test (TST). The genetic deletion of B1R, or the pharmacological blockade by selective kinin B1R antagonist R-715 (acute, i.p), reduced the increase of immobility time and mechanical allodynia induced by ovariectomy. Neither genetic deletion nor pharmacological inhibition of B2R (HOE 140, i.p) prevented the behavioral changes elicited by OVX. Our data suggested a particular modulation of kinin B1R in the nociceptive and depressive-like behavior in ovariectomized mice. Selective inhibition of the B1R receptor may be a new pharmacological target for treating pain and depression symptoms in women on the perimenopause/menopause period Copy rights belong to original authors.

Tim is a very successful Real Estate investor acquiring more than 1500 properties and a total of more than a billion dollars in transactions. He started and sold many real estate related companies including lenders, brokerage agencies, insurance agencies, several investment entities and what is now known as Think Realty Expo. Tim also worked on wall street helping Blackstone's B2R establish it's investor lending business. He has been a part of transactions as small as a $3,000 dollar house in Dallas to an undisclosed $230,000,000 deal. Tim is now taking a family first approach to life and business. If you would like to learn more about multifamily investing visit www.thomsonmultifamilygroup.com.

Our guest on this episode of the Business and BBQ Podcast is Robert Greenberg, CMO of Patch of Land, a crowdfunded real estate investment mortgage lending organization. Robert has spent more than 30 years in the marketing industry and he and Tim worked together at B2R several years ago. Robert’s marketing philosophy regarding lead generation, lead conversion, and client fulfillment is top notch, and if you listen to what he says, you will come away from this podcast with business-altering information.Early in his career, Robert worked on marketing for Harrah’s casinos, and he learned and applied some timeless lead generation strategies through database marketing. After determining the target market, the key is to get as many of those people as possible into your database and track their behavior patterns as they interact with you. This data can be used to follow up or call people to action based on their typical behaviors. Next, you should think about what your target customers have in common and consider each step of the customer journey, from initial contact to follow up after the service.Tim gives an example of a company cold calling him to see if he needed any Bobcat work done. They found him by Googling “real estate investors”, and then consistently followed up and checked in with him throughout the process to make sure he was satisfied. Tim typically would have given them a review on Google or Facebook, but the company didn’t have an online presence. Instead, he posted a video on his own Facebook page of their work and posted their phone number as his recommendation.When it comes to prospecting, you must understand the who, what, when, where, why, and how of the customer. Take a step back and adopt their mindset to recognize what they really need in this moment. Even if they do not buy anything from you, if you have created value that the customer needed, you have fulfilled the purpose of client relations. This is where knowing your KPIs (key performance indicators) is so important – you know that in order to close 5 deals, you need to talk to 50 people, which means you need to make 100 calls. Working backwards often takes out a lot of the guess work and helps you focus on productivity.Finally, Robert outlines his 4 things to do this week to get more leads:Answer your phone and be accessibleKeep track of leads and follow up with them through a CRM or Excel documentUse your leads data to start doing email marketing through MailchimpAlso, try to build a webpage with a contact form and work on your SEO (search engine optimization).Work within your budget and be resourceful as you first get started. Just start somewhere and be consistent. Provide your customers with a unique perspective that brings them value.Connect with Robert:https://patchofland.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/robtgreenberg Links:Audible trial promotional link: https://www.audibletrial.com/thHubSpot promotional link: https://www.hubspot.com/th “The E Myth” by Michael Gerber: https://amzn.to/2H0VC0zConnect with Tim:https://timherriage.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/herriagehttps://twitter.com/timherriage https://www.facebook.com/timherriage/ https://www.instagram.com/timherriage/ With business questions: ask@timherriage.co

I'm going to read Mark's bio just as he wrote because I really like it like this. "I have been a Realtor since 2001 and I have specialized in listing REO and HUD properties since 2008. I have a team of eight that help with all aspects of the REO process and our other real estate activities. Our team strives to provide the best service to our clients, buyers and co-op agents. We work with over 35 banks, asset management companies and hedge funds and we know every seller has a different process for selling home. We take pride in mastering each process in order to sell properties as quickly as possible with the highest net to the seller. Over the last three years we have sold over 500 homes. I am also an avid Real Estate Investor. I buy and sell 10-15 fix and flips a year and I own 10 long-term rentals. I am always looking for a great deal and love to fix up properties. I discuss my fix and flips, rental properties and real estate business in depth on my blog www.investfourmore.com. I have have been featured on Bigger Pockets, B2R and Zillow!" Welcome, Mark. Mark Ferguson: Hey. Thank you for having me. I appreciate being on this show. Jack Butala: That's all cool, but what's really cool about you is that you live in Greeley, Colorado. Mark Ferguson: That's right. I do. Jack Butala: We live in a dusty desert, and it's really beautiful up there. I've been there. Mark Ferguson: No. I love it here. Yup. Actually, my bio, I should update that. I'm up to 16 rental properties now. Jill DeWit: Ooh. Nice. Hey. How far is Greeley from Estes Park? I'm trying to remember. Mark Ferguson: It is about 50 miles straight east of Estes Park. Jill DeWit: Yeah. Okay. Mark Ferguson: Yup. We're on the plains so you drive down the canyon for about 15 miles east of the foothills there. Completely different climates but not that far away. Jill DeWit: Got it. That's [cool 00:02:08]. You can get to the mountains really quickly. I'm sure you probably do some skiing up there, I hope. Mark Ferguson: I do snowboard once in a while but with the family, and work, I don't get up there as much as I should. Jack Butala: How the heck did you get in this crazy business, man? Mark Ferguson: Actually, I kind of fell into it. I graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder and had a degree in finance. I kind of, sort of was looking for a finance job because I wanted to make a lot of money, and in my youth I thought, "Hey. Finance equals money," but I couldn't find one that paid me enough so I thought, "I'll just work part time for my father," who was a real estate agent. That turned into full time and lo and behold, here I am. Jack Butala: Wow. We talk to a lot of people on the air and off the air and a lot them started in real estate by accident and just stuck with it because they loved it. Mark Ferguson: Yeah, and I grew up with it my whole life, and I always said, "I'm never going to be in real estate. I don't want to have any part in it," but once I got into it, compared it to my other options, I am really glad I got into real estate. Jill DeWit: Ralphy, right? Mark Ferguson: Yes. Yup. Jill DeWit: Thank you very much. Mark Ferguson: The buffalo? Jill DeWit: Yes. Mark Ferguson: That's good. Jill DeWit: I have a good friend that went to school there so that's school.

Die Familie A der G-Protein-gekoppelten Rezeptoren (GPCRs) bildet die größte und vielfältigste aller Transmembranrezeptorfamilien. Ihre Mitglieder spielen eine wesentliche Rolle in fast allen (patho)physiologischen Prozessen. Nach Agonistenbindung aktivieren GPCRs, wie ihr Name andeutet, heterotrimere G-Proteine aber auch G-Protein-unabhängige Signalwege. Die verschiedenen aktiven G-Proteinuntereinheiten (Gα-GTP und βγ) induzieren nach Dissoziation vom Rezeptor entsprechende Signalkaskaden z.B. über Phospholipase A und Cβ. Um eine Fehlregulation zellulärer Prozesse z.B. durch „Überstimulation“ zu verhindern, unterliegen GPCRs strengen Regulationsmechanismen, die ihre Fähigkeit zur Signaltransduktion und ihre Verfügbarkeit an der Zelloberfläche bestimmen. Die Bradykininrezeptoren B1 und B2 (B1R, B2R) gehören zur Familie A der GPCRs, also zu den Rhodopsin-ähnlichen GPCRs, und werden durch die pro-inflammatorischen Peptide desArg9-Bradykinin/desArg10-Kallidin (DABK/DAK) bzw. Bradykinin (BK)/Kallidin aktiviert. Im Gegensatz zum konstitutiv exprimierten B2R, der nach Stimulation schnell desensitisiert und internalisiert wird, erfolgt eine B1R-Expression fast ausschließlich unter pathophysiologischen Bedingungen über Induktion durch Zytokine. Nach Stimulation wird der B1R nicht internalisiert, sondern verbleibt an der Zelloberfläche. Beide Rezeptoren koppeln sowohl an Gαq/11 als auch an Gαi und aktivieren somit weitgehend identische Signalwege [vor allem Phospholipase Cβ (PLCβ) und „mitogen activated protein kinase“ (MAPK)-Kaskaden]. Durch ihre - besonders im Hinblick auf ihre Internalisierungs-eigenschaften - konträre Regulation, stellen die Bradykininrezeptoren ein interessantes Modell zur Untersuchung regulatorischer Mechanismen und deren Einflüsse auf die Signalübertragung von GPCRs dar. Beide Bradykininrezeptoren spielen bei inflammatorischen Prozessen eine Rolle. Sie fördern die Ausschüttung pro-inflammatorischer Zytokine und rekrutieren Immunzellen. Während entzündlicher Ereignisse kommt es zu erhöhter Zytokinfreisetzung z.B. von Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) und dadurch zur de novo Synthese von B1R. Pro-inflammatorische Zytokine wie IL-1β, die zur B1R-Expression führen, induzieren unter anderem aber auch einen Anstieg der Körpertemperatur (Fieber), eine häufige Begleiterscheinung inflammatorischer Vorgänge. Trotz des bekannten Zusammenhangs zwischen Inflammation und erhöhter Temperatur war über den Einfluss eines Temperaturanstiegs auf Membranrezeptoren und ihre Signalvermittlung auf zellulärer Ebene bisher nur sehr wenig bekannt. In dieser Arbeit wurde - unseres Wissens nach - erstmals auf die Temperatur als regulatorische Komponente für GPCR-vermittelte Signalübertragung eingegangen. Am Beispiel der Bradykininrezeptoren wurde gezeigt, dass die Stärke der Signalübertragung von GPCRs signifikant durch eine Temperaturerhöhung von 37°C auf 41°C beeinflusst werden kann. Hierbei war jedoch zwischen einer Temperaturabhängigkeit des Signalwegs selbst und einer rezeptorspezifischen Temperatursensitivität zu unterscheiden. So wurde die Aktivierung von ERK1/2 unter pathophysiologisch erhöhter Temperatur (41°C; normale Körpertemperatur: 37°C) signifikant gesteigert, unabhängig davon ob sie durch B1 oder B2 Rezeptoren stimuliert wurde. Die gesteigerte Aktivität PLCβ-vermittelter Signalkaskaden bei 41°C konnte hingegen auf eine nur für den B1R spezifische Temperaturabhängigkeit zurückgeführt werden. Diese Beobachtung zusammen mit der Tatsache, dass die B1R-Expression unter pathophysiologischen Bedingungen besonders induziert wird, deutet darauf hin, dass der B1R in Kombination mit Fieber eine verstärkte Wirkung im Organismus haben könnte. Ob diese Heilungs-fördernd oder -abträglich wirkt, müsste noch genauer untersucht werden. Neben dem Einfluss der Temperatur wird die Signalübertragung der GPCRs durch die jeweiligen Rezeptorkonformationen und die sich daraus ergebenden Funktionsunterschiede bestimmt. Die Familie A der GPCRs wird durch einige hoch konservierte Strukturmerkmale wie die E/DRY-Sequenz mit R3.50 in der dritten Transmembrandomäne (TM) oder die NPXXY-Sequenz am Ende der siebten TM charakterisiert. Publizierte Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass bovines Rhodopsin durch eine Salzbrücke zwischen R3.50135 (TM3) und E6.30247 (TM6), auch „ionic lock“ genannt, im inaktiven Zustand gehalten wird. Der B2R ist einer der wenigen Peptid-GPCRs, der ein Glutamat an Position 6.30 (E6.30238) trägt, und eignete sich daher zur Untersuchung der Anwesenheit und Funktion eines möglichen „ionic lock“ auch in „nicht-Rhodopsin“-GPCRs. Für alle bisher entsprechend untersuchten GPCRs ist bekannt, dass R3.50 für eine effiziente G-Protein-Aktivierung unabdingbar ist (selbiges wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit auch für den B2R bestätigt). Die funktionelle Analyse eines „ionic lock“ anhand einer R3.50 Mutation und G-Protein-abhängiger Kaskaden ist deshalb nicht möglich. Die Rolle eines „ionic lock“ im Hinblick auf G-Protein-unabhängige Mechanismen wie die Rezeptorinternalisierung, einem wichtigen Regulationsschritt für die meisten GPCRs, wurde bisher jedoch noch nicht untersucht. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde erstmals gezeigt, dass die Rezeptorendozytose durch Mutation von R3.50128 zu Alanin (R3.50128A), im Gegensatz zur G-Protein-Aktivierung, nicht zum Erliegen kommt. Die mutierten Rezeptorkonstrukte wiesen sogar ein konstitutives Internalisierungsverhalten auf. Dies verwies auf unterschiedliche Funktionen dieser Aminosäure bei der G-Protein-vermittelten Signaltransduktion und bei der Rezeptorinternalisierung. Ein Aufbrechen des möglichen „ionic lock“ durch Mutation von E6.30238 zu Alanin oder Arginin resultierte ebenfalls in konstitutiv internalisierenden Rezeptorkonstrukten. Im Gegensatz zur Endozytose zeigten diese Mutanten zwar keine konstitutive Signalübertragung, wurden aber auch durch prinzipiell als Antagonisten klassifizierte Verbindungen effizient aktiviert. Diese Ergebnisse legen einen mehrstufigen Aktivierungsprozess nahe, dessen Stufen sich durch verschiedene Rezeptorkonformationen mit unterschiedlichen Interaktionsmöglichkeiten für die G-Protein-Rekrutierung/Aktivierung oder mit der Internalisierungsmaschinerie [GPCR-Kinasen (GRKs), Arrestine] auszeichnen. Der wechselseitige Austausch der beiden hoch konservierten Aminosäuren R3.50128 und E6.30238 ermöglichte wahrscheinlich die Bildung eines inversen „ionic lock“, wodurch normales B2R-Verhalten wieder hergestellt wurde. Diese Arbeit zeigt somit erstmals, dass ein Aufbrechen eines möglichen „ionic lock“ in einem Peptidrezeptor unterschiedliche Auswirkungen für die Prozesse der G-Protein-Aktivierung und der Rezeptorendozytose haben kann. Dadurch wird die Annahme bestärkt, dass es bei einem GPCR mehrere aktive Konformationen geben kann, die unterschiedliche Affinitäten gegenüber regulatorischen Proteinen (GRKs, Arrestinen) oder Effektoren (G-Proteinen, Arrestinen) aufweisen und dadurch differenziert zelluläre Signale auslösen können. Die Aufklärung der unterschiedlichen Aktivierungsmechanismen von GPCRs in Kombination mit der Herstellung von Verbindungen z.B. sogenannten „small molecule compounds“, die bestimmte Rezeptorkonformationen mit ihren signalspezifischen Eigenschaften stabilisieren können, wäre möglicherweise für die Entwicklung von Agonisten oder Antagonisten, die nur ganz bestimmte Signalwege modulieren und so eine optimierte therapeutische Anwendung erlauben, hilfreich.

Upon activation the human bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R) acts as guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the G proteins Gq/11 and Gi. Thereafter, it gets phosphorylated by G protein-coupled receptor kinases (GRKs) and recruits beta-arrestins, which block further G protein activation and promote B2R internalization via clathrin-coated pits. As for most G protein-coupled receptors of family A, an intracellular helix 8 after transmembrane domain 7 is also predicted for the B2R. We show here that disruption of helix 8 in the B2R by either C-terminal truncation or just by mutation of a central amino acid (Lys-315) to a helix-breaking proline resulted in strong reduction of surface expression. Interestingly, this malfunction could be overcome by the addition of the membrane-permeable B2R antagonist JSM10292, suggesting that helix 8 has a general role for conformational stabilization that can be accounted for by an appropriate antagonist. Intriguingly, an intact helix 8, but not the C terminus with its phosphorylation sites, was indispensable for receptor sequestration and for interaction of the B2R with GRK2/3 and beta-arrestin2 as shown by co-immunoprecipitation. Recruitment of beta-arrestin1, however, required the presence of the C terminus. Taken together, our results demonstrate that helix 8 of the B2R plays a crucial role not only in efficient trafficking to the plasma membrane or the activation of G proteins but also for the interaction of the B2R with GRK2/3 and beta-arrestins. Additional data obtained with chimera of B2R with other G protein-coupled receptors of family A suggest that helix 8 might have similar functions in other GPCRs as well.
