Unfortunately, more Americans are using their 401(k)'s for financial emergencies I'm sure some will disagree with me based on the headlines arguing they were so happy that they had their 401(k) to tap for whatever their financial emergency was. In my opinion, people are thinking short term and not thinking about the long-term crisis when they retire in 20 or 30 years and then might be living at the poverty level because their 401(k) was not large enough to generate a decent income and social security was far less than they thought. I also want people to understand based on how fast medical technology is moving, in 20 to 30 years you may be spending more time in retirement than the 20 years or so that you were thinking. The numbers are frightening when I look at them and I have wished many times that the 401(k) would eliminate the ability to access funds before retirement like the old pension plans from companies. According to Vanguard, 2024 saw a record of 4.8% of workers that took a hardship distribution for a financial emergency. This was more than double the 2% level in 2019. Even more frightening was nearly 33% of people decided to take and cash in their 401(k) when they changed jobs in spite of the fact of paying taxes and penalties as opposed to rolling that retirement over to an IRA rollover or their new 401K plan. Congress in their infinite wisdom has made it easier to qualify for withdrawals from 401(k)'s for emergencies. I believe the Congress that set up the 401K in 1978 under The Revenue Act of 1978 did not envision the raiding of 401(k)'s for emergencies. I'm pretty confident in 1978 Congress felt this would be a great retirement plan for all Americans, not an emergency fund of to pay off debt. I highly recommend before people take any money out of the 401(k), they talk to a real financial professional to understand the taxes and penalties they are paying. It's not just the taxes and penalties, and one should also figure out the future value of what that account could have grown to and how that withdrawal could devastate their retirement!   Inflation report shows some positives and some negatives The July Consumer Price Index, also known as CPI, showed an annual increase of 2.7%, which was in line with June's reading and below the expectation of 2.8%. The headline number was helped by energy, which showed an annual decline of 1.6%, largely thanks to a decline of 9.5% for gasoline. Energy services on the other hand were not as favorable considering an increase of 5.5% for electricity and 13.8% for utility (piped) gas service. I do wonder if the power demand for these large data centers is starting to put a strain on the grid and I worry this could become even more problematic. As for core CPI, which excludes food and energy, it was up 3.1% from a year ago and was slightly above the forecast of 3%. This was a slight increase from the 2.9% level in June and the highest annual increase since February. Surprisingly, shelter continues to be a large reason for the elevated inflation rate as it was still up 3.7% compared to last year. In terms of tariffs showing up in the report, it still appeared to be subdued. Furniture was up 7.6% compared to last year, but other areas that I would anticipate seeing pressure like apparel and new vehicles saw little change. New vehicle prices were up just 0.4% compared to last year and apparel prices were actually lower by 0.2%. I did see an economist point out the fact that core goods inflation on an annual basis registered the largest growth in over two years, but at 1.2% I wouldn't say that is putting strain on the economy. These tariffs will likely put continued pressure on inflation, but if other areas like shelter continue to see less inflation that could counteract that pressure and keep overall inflation in a manageable situation. Based on the slowing labor market and these manageable levels of inflation I do believe the Fed should cut in September.   What does the national debt surpassing $37 trillion mean for you?  On Tuesday, August 12th, the United States national debt passed $37 trillion for the first time ever. The debt is growing at about $6 billion per day, but that appears to be better than last year. In July 2024, the national debt passed $35 trillion and then in November 2024 it surpassed $36 trillion. Looking for some positives here, it did take nine months for the debt to grow another $1 trillion to the $37 trillion mark. At the end of the second quarter, debt to GDP stood at 119.4%, which is manageable but should not go much higher. Hopefully we can have a slowdown in debt expansion or maybe even a reversal and still have the GDP increase. The reason having a high national debt is a negative is it takes investment out of the private sector to fund our national debt, which can slow down the growth in our economy. A large national debt can also cause interest rates to increase as the need for more debt often means offering higher interest rates to attract buyers. It is also important to know that even when the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, that generally has a larger impact on the short end of the curve, which includes instruments like treasury bills. Your long-term debt, such as 5–10-year notes are not controlled by what the Federal Reserve does and instead is based on supply and demand. It would not be a wise move for the government to only issue short-term debt for a lower rate because if rates were to increase in the future for whatever reason, that could cause our national debt to grow out of control and potentially cause a financial collapse. Also, keep in mind that generally mortgage rates align with the rates for longer term debt and now with some car loans being six or seven years, the interest rates for those loans will probably not drop because they are now longer-term loans not the old 3-to-4-year loans they used to be. We are not in trouble yet, but we are getting close to the edge and we need to grow the economy and still reduce the national debt so our country can continue to prosper and grow.   Financial Planning: Changes Coming to Charitable Giving The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed on July 4, 2025, delivers some new changes coming to how charitable giving may be deducted. For the first time since the pandemic-era CARES Act, those who claim the standard deduction will be able to deduct cash donations up to $1,000 for single filers and $2,000 for joint filers.  This will act as an above-the-line deduction in addition to the standard deduction.  For itemizers, however, the law imposes a new 0.5% of AGI floor, meaning only contributions above that threshold will count toward deductions, potentially reducing benefits for those making smaller annual gifts. For example, a tax filer with an AGI of $200,000 receives no tax benefit on the first $1,000 (.5%) of donations. Also, itemizers are not able to take advantage of the $1,000 to $2,000 above-the-line charitable deduction that standard deduction filers can.  In addition, high earners who are in the 37% tax bracket will only receive a 35% deduction on charitable donations. All of these changes go into effect in 2026, so those claiming the standard deduction may want to wait until then while itemizers and high earners may want to make donations before the end of the year.   Companies Discussed: Intel Corporation (INTC), UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (UNH), Nexstar Media Group, Inc.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act affects charitable contributions for retirees and individuals considering their tax strategies. I'm walking you through three major changes: the restoration of the charitable cash deduction for non-itemizers, new limitations on how much can be deducted for larger contributions, and a cap on itemized deductions for high earners. Whether you give to charity every year, are planning a large gift, or just want to maximize your tax benefits, I'm sharing practical tips about when and how to make your contributions in light of these updates. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] More about increased standard deductions due to the SALT cap. [06:09] New charitable donation tax deduction limits starting in 2026. [10:20] The One Big Beautiful Bill Act limits itemized deductions in the highest tax bracket. [11:29] Front-load large charitable contributions this year for better tax deductions before a cap starts in 2026. How the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is Changing Charitable Giving and Deductions There are three pivotal ways the new One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) is altering charitable contributions. Whether you're a casual donor or serious philanthropist, these changes will affect your strategy starting in the next tax year. Here's what you need to know: 1. Restoration: Above-the-Line Charitable Deductions for Non-Itemizers For years, most taxpayers lost the ability to deduct their charitable contributions unless they itemized deductions—a rare scenario since the 2017 tax act doubled the standard deduction. Previously, a temporary provision under the CARES Act allowed a small above-the-line charitable deduction for non-itemizers. However, that expired in 2021. Thanks to section 70424 of the OBBBA, this above-the-line deduction is back, and it's here to stay—starting in 2026. The new rule permits single filers to deduct up to $1,000 and joint filers up to $2,000 in cash contributions, regardless of whether they itemize. There are, however, clear conditions: Only cash gifts qualify: No clothing drop-offs or appreciated securities—just cash, checks, or debit card donations count. Certain charities excluded: Gifts to supporting organizations (“509A3” charities) or donor-advised funds won't count toward this deduction. 2. New Limitations for Itemized Deductions and Carryforwards Historically, taxpayers who itemize could deduct up to 60% of their adjusted gross income (AGI) in cash gifts to public charities, and up to 30% or 20% for gifts of securities or for donations to private charities. The OBBBA introduces a new wrinkle: starting in 2026, there's an additional cap—regardless of what percentage of your AGI you donate, your deduction will be reduced by half a percent (0.5%) of your AGI. Here's how it works: Apply the usual AGI percentage limits (60%, 50%, 30%, or 20%) per current IRS rules. Subtract half a percent of your AGI from your allowable deduction. For example, if your AGI is $60,000 and you donate $50,000 in cash, ordinary limits allow a $36,000 deduction. With the new rule, you must subtract $300 (0.5% of $60,000), leaving $35,700 as your deductible amount for the year. If your donation exceeds the limit, you can still carry forward the extra for five years, but the carry-forward will also be subject to the new cap in future years. 3. Caps on Itemized Deductions for Top Earners For those at the pinnacle of the income scale, in the highest (soon to be 37%) tax bracket, the OBBBA imposes an extra limitation. Starting in 2026, you'll see a 2% reduction in the tax benefit of your itemized deductions. That means a $10,000 gift, which may have saved you $3,700 in taxes under the old rules, might now only save $3,500. If you're planning a substantial charitable contribution and expect to be in the top tax bracket, aim to make your gift in 2025 to maximize tax savings before the cap bites.  Whether you itemize or not, these new caps and restored deductions mean you probably need to take a second look at your charitable plans. Smart timing—waiting until 2026 for the non-itemizer deduction, and acting before then to maximize deductions for itemizers—can make a significant difference for your taxes and your favorite causes.

Synchronoss Technologies Chief Financial Officer Lou Ferraro joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company has received its anticipated tax refund under the 2020 CARES Act, totaling $33.9 million. This amount includes $5.9 million in interest from the Internal Revenue Service. Ferraro stated that the company has already received $30.2 million of the refund, and 75% of that—approximately $22.6 million—has been used to pay down Synchronoss's existing term loan at par. The IRS has indicated the remaining $3.7 million is expected to be received by Labor Day 2025. In total, approximately $25.4 million of the refund will be allocated to reduce a portion of the company's $200 million term loan facility, as stipulated in the Credit Agreement. This repayment will generate an estimated $2.9 million in annual interest savings at the current rate. Ferraro also noted that Synchronoss has reduced its overall debt by more than $100 million over the past four years. Furthermore, the company anticipates qualifying for a one-time 50-basis point reduction in its loan interest rate on the first anniversary of the term loan, based on the improved leverage ratio. This strategic use of the tax refund reinforces Synchronoss's ongoing efforts to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce financial liabilities. #proactiveinvestors #synchronosstechnologiesinc #nasdaq #sncr #cloud #CloudRevenue #Q12025Results #JeffMiller #RecurringRevenue #TechEarnings #VerizonCloud #ATandTCloud #InvestorUpdates #TPBirchGrove #SoftwareGrowth #Refinancing

In this episode of Passing Judgment, host Jessica Levinson interviews Chris Stein, senior politics reporter for The Guardian US, about the "big, beautiful bill" driven by President Trump and congressional Republicans. Stein explains that the bill makes the 2017 tax cuts permanent, primarily benefiting high earners, while also introducing new deductions and extending some relief for select groups. He highlights significant cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, noting these changes are delayed until after the midterms, while increased funding for immigration enforcement and the border wall takes effect more quickly. The episode also addresses the bill's large projected impact on the federal deficit and the political strategy behind delaying the most controversial cuts. Levinson and Stein wrap up with insights into House Democrats' push for Trump-related Epstein files, illustrating the limited tools available to the minority party.Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Tax Changes: Immediate Relief, Long-Term Effects: The bill makes the Trump-era tax cuts permanent, creating significant (and expensive) relief that primarily benefits top earners, while also introducing temporary new cuts for working-class voters. However, not everyone qualifies, and the flipside could mean fewer resources for government programs.Social Safety Nets: Delayed Pain, Lasting Impact: Major changes to Medicaid and SNAP (food stamps) are built in—including work requirements and shifting costs to states. Crucially, these cuts are delayed until after the next midterms, affecting rural and Trump-leaning areas the most, but the full consequences won't be felt until later election cycles.Immigration and Deficit: Shifting Priorities, Bigger Budget: The bill pours billions into border enforcement—including ICE, deportations, and the border wall—while still adding an estimated $3.4 trillion to the federal deficit over the next decade, eclipsing even the emergency pandemic-era spending.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica

One of the big challenges for community banks and credit unions is that they often have a very concentrated base of customers. The vast majority of their accounts could be with people and businesses within a 100-mile radius. While setting up digital tools can allow these banks and credit unions to expand beyond their home base, this comes with a lot of expense and complexity. When it comes to lending programs there is a much simpler alternative.My next guest on the Fintech One-on-One podcast is Vince Passione, the CEO and C0-Founder of LendKey. I last had Vince on the show all the way back in 2016, so a lot has changed since then. They have created this new technology they call network lending which solves for the problem of customer concentration for credit unions and banks, at least when it comes to the lending side of the balance sheet.In this podcast you will learn:The highlights of LendKey's evolution over the last nine years.Their long partnership with Navy Credit Union.How they have expanded into the home improvement market.The impact of the CARES Act on their education financing business.How the needs of credit unions have been evolving.The changes that will impact the ParentPLUS and GradPLUS lending programs.What differentiates those credit unions that can go after the younger generation and those that can't.Why private student loans will have to take up the slack, particularly for graduate student loans.How their network lending programs work.Why network lending is a great way for credit unions to diversify their portfolio.How they decide who becomes the lender of record for these loans.Why they launched ALIRO in 2021 to allow others to set up their own lending networks.What the next five to ten years look like for LendKey.Connect with Fintech One-on-One: Tweet me @PeterRenton Connect with me on LinkedIn Find previous Fintech One-on-One episodes

Disclaimer: This video was recorded in March of 2022.I had a killer conversation with Christa Hilton, the conservative single mom and entrepreneur behind Drunk Republic. We didn't get political. We got real. Christa started reading the entire CARES Act during COVID when her business consulting for small businesses had to shut down. What she discovered sent her down a rabbit hole of government waste, hidden spending, and ridiculous programs that American taxpayers unknowingly fund. We dove into the insanity of public school systems, why parents need to take back their power, and how Christa's approach to showing her son real life in Portland—drugs, homelessness and all—is creating a kid who thinks critically about everything. Christa shared how her 12-year-old son can already see through political BS on both sides. School choice, government spending, entrepreneurship, parenting—this conversation covers it all. Christa's podcast Drunk Politics is cutting through the noise and exposing what our government is really doing with our money.

She's been invited onto Newsmax multiple times talking about HOW conservatives can get involved in starting to take back their cities, especially the very liberal ones, as well as how she is raising her son with conservative values having pulled him out of the public school system to homeschool him while going on a cross country roadtrip before putting him in a small Christian private school.

Send us a textFairfax criminal defense lawyer Jonathan Katz named this podcast Beat the Prosecution in sync with his teacher SunWolf's watchword that reality is no obstacle. By shooting for the stars, great outcomes be achieved in court. Nonetheless, plenty of criminal defendants get convicted, requiring all criminal defense lawyers to be great at sentencing. Recently, Jon Katz's fellow criminal defense lawyer Bret Lee told Jon of his and lawyer Marvin Miller's Northern Virginia federal criminal defense client Felicia Donald, saying she was willing to be on Jon's podcast. Dr. Donald is a physician who in 2020 entered a guilty plea to one prescription drug violation count involving opioids and one health care fraud count. Despite the prosecution's request for a fourteen year prison sentence and to include obstruction of justice in her sentencing guidelines, Dr. Donald's legal team obtained a sentence that was half of that, and that avoided a finding of obstruction. Dr. Donald is Jon Katz's second former inmate to appear on the Beat the Prosecution podcast. A big difference between the two is that the first such guest, Susan Crane, engages in peace actions against armaments and military facilities, admits her actions and asserts their justification under international law. Most other criminal defendants, including Dr. Donald, never seek any prosecution nor attention to their prosecution. Where most convicted criminal defendants would prefer to keep a low profile about their cases, Dr. Donald does a big service to current and future defendants by here discussing step-by-step her oversight in not securing a lawyer before she reported alleged wrongdoing by one of her employees to law enforcement officers (LEO) and before she turned over her cellphone and business documents to LEO, how she chose her initial and subsequent legal team, how she weathered the storm of incarceration during the pandemic and found opportunities to help fellow inmates, how she witnessed seriously inadequate health care for numerous inmates and dealt with her own serious health issues as an inmate, and how she obtained a sentence commutation under the CARES Act. For this episode, then, beating the prosecution is about obtaining the best possible sentence and being as resilient as possible from the point of arrest to the time of release from incarceration. Jon thanks Felicia Donald and Bret Lee for joining him. This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

Welcome to the Financial Freedom & Wealth Trailblazers Podcast! In this episode, we'll dive into one of the most powerful strategies you can use: leveraging real estate to not only grow your wealth but also keep more of it in your pocket.  Jon Chan's journey into real estate began in March 2020, when the world shut down, and he found himself sitting at a breakfast table-turned-shared desk with his pregnant wife. It was a moment of realization: if one of them couldn't work, they wouldn't be in a good position. With no playbook for navigating a pandemic, Jon began searching for a better way. At the time, Jon was managing properties for his father, and while he'd always heard that real estate was the path to wealth, the numbers didn't seem to add up. Motivated and curious, he searched YouTube for “how to scale in real estate,” which was the catalyst for change. Taking a leap of faith, Jon used the CARES Act to pull out $200K and dove into the BRRRR method. He initially believed that success in real estate was as simple as “see property, buy property, collect rent.” However, he quickly discovered that building something meaningful required far more than numbers and transactions—it demanded grit, adaptability, and resilience. Real estate has become a transformative journey for Jon, not just as an investor, but also as a husband, father, friend, and son. It has challenged him to grow in ways he never anticipated, shaping how he approaches life and relationships. What began as a pursuit for financial security has evolved into a passion for building a future—brick by brick, lesson by lesson.

The US economy's extraordinary recovery since the darkest days of the COVID-19 pandemic has continued into the fall of 2025, with inflation retreating and the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates to keep jobs and investment humming along. Our expert panel discusses where the economy is growing fastest—and less fast—and what this means for state and local budgets and finances. Our panel of experts includes Rochester (Minnesota) Mayor Kim Norton, Georgia State Economist Robert Buschman, Fitch Ratings head of US State ratings Eric Kim, and PIMCO Senior Vice President Tom Schuette. Notable Quotes: “We were very pleased that money came directly to the cities and local jurisdictions, so we didn't have to go through a lot of time to get it through the state. It was very beneficial to get that money into our communities quickly, starting with ARPA and then the CARES Act funds.” - Mayor Kim Norton “Since the last quarter before the pandemic, Q4 2019, Georgia real GDP growth has run 2.4% per year, on average, slightly better than the 2.3% average for the nation. And though we had our own soft landing in the first half of 2023, we're up 3.5% since then, compared to 3% for the nation. Job growth has also outpaced the nation for most of the expansion.” - Bob Buschman “Growth coming out of the pandemic has been very robust nationally, so strong in fact that it beats expectations month after month, quarter after quarter, year after year. I think most economists were anticipating a recession for about two years before finally giving up and accepting that the economic growth was simply going to continue, even with the Federal Reserve ratcheting up interest rates above 5%.” - Eric Kim “I think in 20-plus years doing this at a rating agency and also on the buy side, I would argue that I've never seen the public sector so well-prepared for any turbulence or volatility on the revenue or expenditure side as they are right now.” - Tom Schuette Be sure to subscribe to Special Briefing to stay up to date on the world of public finance.

In this episode of the Friends for Life Podcast, we dive into the critical discussions happening in Congress as the deadline for the Autism CARES Act reauthorization looms. The Autism CARES Act, a vital piece of legislation that has been the backbone of federal support for autism since 2006, is set to expire on September 30, 2024. With both the Senate and House proposing their versions of the bill, the future of autism research, services, and support hangs in the balance. We explore the key differences between the proposed bills and what they mean for the autism community. From increasing funding to introducing new provisions that focus on aging and speech limitations, these changes could significantly impact the lives of individuals with autism. The episode also discusses the importance of ensuring that federal investment aligns with the community's needs, particularly for those requiring 24-hour care and young adults transitioning to adulthood. As the deadline approaches, the urgency for action becomes more apparent. Join us as we unpack the potential implications of the Autism CARES Act's renewal and what it could mean for millions of people across the country. Will Congress come together to secure the future of this critical legislation, or will the autism community face a gap in essential support? Listen in to find out.

Frankly, we should probably trace this crisis back to Woodrow Wilson in 1913 and the establishment of a private banking cartel (The Federal Reserve) which has printed this nations currency into oblivion while funneling cold hard cash to the well-connected corporate, banking and government class for over 100 years.Or perhaps it was Nixon going off the gold standard in 1971 which took the shackles off the FED and created the drunken sailor spending politicians of the 20th Century. We could also scrutinize the 2008 real estate collapse which introduced us to ‘too big to fail' which bailed out Wall Street while screwing Main Street and finally the bubble bandaids and private equity schemes which have superficially inflated our economy ever since. It's a lot.The point is … this moment has been a long time coming, there are many culprits and there is NO easy way out. Simply labeling this ‘The Kamala Crash' is lazy and superficial.But a good start is the TRUTH. It will set us free and if we're honest … it was COVID Lockdowns, the establishment of ‘essential vs. non-essential' and a tidal wave of CARES Act debt spending that drove the final nail in the coffin and set us on the path to economic destruction.We START the discussion today on The Shannon Joy Show._______________________________Show Resources & Links:The CARES Act Sent You a $1,200 Check but Gave Millionaires and Billionaires Far Morehttps://www.propublica.org/article/the-cares-act-sent-you-a-1-200-check-but-gave-millionaires-and-billionaires-far-moreAn Editorial Comment on Private Equity - By Catherine Austin Fittshttps://brownstone.org/articles/hotez-calls-for-police-deployment-against-anti-vaxxers/You ARE The Commodity - Surveillance Capitalism - By Dr. Robert Malonehttps://brownstone.org/articles/surveillance-capitalism-you-are-the-commodity/_________________________________Please Support Our Sponsors:THRILLED to welcome Patriot Mobile to the Shannon Joy family of sponsors!!

We delved into an exciting discussion about diversified community investment funds, a vital tool for anyone interested in building vibrant, resilient communities.Chris eloquently introduced us to the concept and evolution of these funds, explaining their transformation from a theoretical concept to a practical solution energized by investment crowdfunding. As Chris noted, these funds are about harnessing local capital to solve local problems effectively, and he shared how these funds enable regular people to invest in the well-being of their communities.“The background is that there's been a fleeing of the idea that capital is controlled locally to it now being controlled by a very small number of people who don't live in your community,” Chris explained. He passionately argued for the return of local capital control, which investment crowdfunding facilitates, allowing community members to contribute to local businesses and projects.Moreover, Chris highlighted the dual focus of these funds on real estate and community businesses, emphasizing that while 60% of investments must be in real estate, the remaining can flexibly support local enterprises. This structure not only addresses urgent needs like housing but also bolsters local businesses, crucial for community vibrancy.One of the most compelling parts of our conversation was when Chris discussed the potential of these funds to make significant, tangible impacts: “Even a few million dollars here or there, you're talking real money, right?” This statement highlights the practical benefits and real-world applications of community investment funds, highlighting their role in revitalizing and transforming communities.As we wrapped up, Chris's enthusiasm was palpable. He shared his excitement about upcoming projects in Detroit and Cincinnati, where these funds are set to make a substantial impact.

This engagement of regular (retail) investors into businesses and projects in their own communities empowers citizens while it builds financial resilience and wealth for individuals and communities.Website: NC3now.orgLinkedin: linkedin.com/company/nc3now/Biographical Information: Chris MillerBoard Chair/Founding Member, National Coalition for Community Capital (NC3)Chris Miller is chair and one of the founding board members of the National Coalition for Community Capital, a 501c3.  Among NC3's goals are to empower ordinary citizens and strengthen local economies though community investment and ownership, with particular attention to wealth-building by non-accredited investors and to underserved populations and communities.Chris has been working on community, economic, and entrepreneur development in Michigan for nearly 20 years in a variety of roles, including as an appointed and elected city official, as a board member and frequent chair of a variety of community and economic development organizations, as a partner with student teams from the University of Michigan and Michigan State University,  as an Innovation Fellow at the Michigan State University EDA Center for Regional and Economic Innovation, and as the City of Adrian's economic developer. During that time, in addition to securing millions of grant dollars and matching private investments, he also developed a local investor group, led a community business plan competition, and worked with local schools to implement entrepreneurship education. While working his day job in Adrian, he also introduced and championed Michigan's MILE – an investment crowdfunding exemption that served as a national model, and he currently has introduced legislation that would create a first-in-the-nation investment incentive available to any state resident regardless of wealth.During 2023, Chris worked extensively on a new program the International Economic Development Council developed called the Economic Recovery Corps. Funded with Cares Act dollars from the Economic Development Administration, 65 ERC Fellows were awarded to 65 hosts from across the county. The Fellows will work full time with their hosts for 2.5 years addressing underserved communities in a variety of economic and community development projects. NC3 was awarded a Fellow to work in Michigan in the start-up and incubator space, adding community investors to capital required by new or expanding businesses.Over the past decade, Chris has spoken across the country on the promise and future of community capital, while also working on the ground on donation and investment crowdfunding campaigns with communities and entrepreneurs. Chris is the developer and lead for NC3's Community Capital Accelerator which is now piloting NC3's Diversified Community Investment Fund in large projects in Detroit, Michigan and Cincinnati, Ohio, and expects to see the launch of funds in Rhode Island and Petoskey, Michigan in 2024.  In addition, the organization is working on projects in nearly a dozen states.  Today, Chris and his wife Joyce own and live in a 170-year-old downtown Adrian building where they renovated the commercial floor for The Buzz Café and Marketplace.  Joyce and her business partners opened The Buzz during COVID, after an investment crowdfunding campaign that received investment from 45 investors in 7 different states.  When not working on their building renovation, Chris led the team that brought PlaneWave Instruments from California to Michigan and now serves as their Special Projects Consultant.  In that role, Chris serves as the primary community and education outreach lead, manages campus arts partners, and works with economic development organizations as well as State and Federal governments to secure resources for PlaneWave.  From their headquarters in Michigan, PlaneWave leads the world in the design and manufacture of high-tech observatory-class research telescopes.Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/christopher-miller-93391378/Upcoming SuperCrowd Event CalendarIf a location is not noted, the events below are virtual.* Impact Cherub Club Meeting hosted by The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, on May 21, 2024, at 1:00 PM Eastern.

Send us a Text Message.On today's episode, we talk with Deborah Green. Deborah retired after 30 years of dispatching for both the Sacramento Police Department and the El Dorado County Sheriffs Office. Deborah was on duty the night of October 23, 2019 when she dispatched a call that no dispatcher ever wants to experience. The reports of "Shots Fired" and "Officer Down". We talk about her career and how that one night changed everything. Did you know that 9-1-1 dispatchers are currently not classified as first responders?Hard to believe, I know. At zero cost to American taxpayers, the 9-1-1 SAVES Act reclassifies 9-1-1 dispatchers as first responders and recognizes America's over 100,000 9-1-1 professionals for their work to save lives. Info on the 911 Cares Act below:https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/2351&https://www.afscme.org/blog/911-saves-act-would-honor-dispatchers-give-them-access-to-additional-resourcesSupport the Show.

Democracy stands as one of humanity's most treasured institutions, but what if the very foundation it's built upon is less solid than we believe? What is an epistocracy and how could it work better as a form of government?Jason Brennan is a professor at Georgetown University and the author of several books. His latest work is titled Against Democracy.Jason and Greg discuss how voting, often romanticized as the pinnacle of civic duty, hides a twisted web of irrational loyalties and tribal instincts that can lead us astray. Jason explains the historical context of political discord and the role of expertise in an era where trusted figures become polarizing symbols. They scrutinize the influence of political factions and social signaling, the curious ways in which political interests align across different cultures, and whether deliberation in democracy genuinely elevates decision-making or merely intensifies division. Jason concludes by revealing the hidden trials and tribulations of pursuing a PhD, and the emphasis on research productivity over teaching, the financial realities of academic life, and the necessity of guidance for non-academic careers.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why don't voters admit their ignorance and defer to experts in policy matters?16:37: You're right that even in markets when we do a lot of delegation, however, we still have a kind of check on this, right? So, I know only the most basic plumbing. So if I have any big problem, I'm going to have to call the plumber in. But when the plumber leaves, I can tell if there's still a leak underneath the bathtub, right? It's like, well, the water is still dripping, so he must have done a bad job. I couldn't fix it myself, but I can check to see whether he fixed it. [17:09] We don't have that same ability when it comes to politics. If a person implements a policy, I put in the Cares Act; did that make things better? How would you know? How would you measure that? That takes expert ability, not just to sort of know what's happened in the past five years as a result of it, but to disentangle the effects of that policy from all the other confounding things. I mean, you and I see policy papers where people try to do this, and it's extremely difficult. So the average person doesn't know how to do that. They do, however, defer to experts in a way, but the experts they defer to are people like comedians on late-night TV who make fun of the other side.Politics as Social Signaling28:46: A lot of what we're doing with politics is this kind of signaling to one another: we're the right kind of person, we're good, we're virtuous, we're kind. Please like me, be my friend, etc. I think that's what's happening in politics. We're using our vote as a way of getting social benefits for ourselves.Why does Europe's political landscape look different?23:21: One of the reasons why I think political distances, or differences, are less pernicious in most of Europe than they are in the U.S. is partly because when you have proportional voting systems, you have more viable political parties. And as a result, it's like your neighbors are all going to be people at different parties. It's really hard for you to segregate yourself in terms of your work, where you live, whom you date, and whom you befriend, because there's just so much variation. So, you can't afford to make that the same kind of signal that you do in the U.S., we have a first-past-the-post voting system that predicts there's going to be two major parties, and I think we get this behavior as a result.In politics, you don't get the same kind of reward-punishment system that you get elsewhere15:42: When it comes to politics, there are only two major parties, and so you can afford and get rewarded for excluding a bunch of people and just playing along with your team. So I think the incentive structure of politics is worse than the incentive structure we have in most other aspects of our lives.Show Links:Recommended Resources:EpistocracyJeremy WaldronAlexis de TocquevilleVoltaireJean-Jacques RousseauThomas ChristianoJohn RawlsGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at Georgetown UniversityWikipedia PageProfile on PhilPeople.orgHis Work:Amazon Author PageBusiness Ethics for Better BehaviorAgainst Democracy: New PrefaceDemocracy: A Guided TourCracks in the Ivory Tower: The Moral Mess of Higher EducationGood Work If You Can Get It: How to Succeed in AcademiaPolitical Philosophy: An Introduction (Libertarianism.org Guides Book 1)Injustice for All: How Financial Incentives Corrupted and Can Fix the US Criminal Justice SystemLibertarianism: What Everyone Needs to Know?Why Not Capitalism?When All Else Fails: The Ethics of Resistance to State InjusticeWhy It's OK to Want to Be RichIn Defense of Openness: Why Global Freedom Is the Humane Solution to Global PovertyA Brief History of Liberty (Brief Histories of Philosophy Book 1)Compulsory Voting: For and AgainstGoogle Scholar Page

Can I take a tax deduction for mileage expenses if I use my vehicle for both businesses?

Can I make charitable contributions from my business LLC income and take it as a business tax deduction? Due to the standard deduction, I can't deduct them from my personal return. - If it's a C corporation, then the C corporation can deduct up to 10% of its net income. Used to be 25% during the CARES Act but they've moved it back to the traditional 10% of your net income Started regular 15-year depreciation for capital improvement of rental property in 2021, didn't know any better.

Mick Jagger, CrossFire Hurricane, And God Told Us So . . . Elvis Chan lies apparently under oath about the involvement of the FBI in the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story and a former FBI agent is expected to plead guilty for secretly working with a Russian oligarch. In this episode, join us to unpack the hypocrisy layered in both these events. We examine Ron Desantis' claims to be a futurist, but doubts persist about what plans he has to bring about this future; are these visionary enough? As he threads the needle concerning the election of Figurehead Biden, the American people still look for answers in an obviously sabotaged election.What does God's Word say? Matthew 24:4-254 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,' and will deceive many. 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.15 “So when you see standing in the holy place ‘the abomination that causes desolation,'[a] spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand— 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!' or, ‘There he is!' do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time.Episode Episode 1,010 Links:Happening Now: Former FBI agent Charles McGonigal is expected to plead guilty to working for a Russian Oligarch. This is the same agent who started the entire “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into Trumps team when he sent an email about George Papadopoulos having dirt on Hillary!He played a crucial role into the investigation of Trump and the Special Counsel led by Robert Mueller. Now we're learning he worked secretly for a Russian the entire time. Is anyone surprised how corrupt our DOJ is? They always blame Trump for what they're actually doingFBI Special Agent Elvis Chan, who is responsible for colluding with Twitter & META to censor the Hunter laptop story, lied under oath about communications with Big Tech giants. The FBI is the biggest threat to democracy in America.DeSantis says if the 2024 election is a referendum on Jan. 6, 2021 or "what document was left by the toilet at Mar a Lago [...] We are going to lose."CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, & NBC did not spend ONE second covering the heartbreaking testimony from Gold Star families who lost loved ones in Biden's horrific Afghanistan withdrawal. The legacy media is truly disgusting. Protecting Biden is their only goal. The Gold Star parents of Staff Sgt. Darin Taylor Hoover, who was killed during Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal, express their anger at the Biden administration. “The door was slammed shut on this investigation...We've had nothing for the last two years.” The US Post Office Supports The Democratic Party & Then Bags Stuffed With Valid, Completed Ballots Found In The California Santa Cruz MountainsCorroborated eyewitness testimony under penalty of perjury testifies: 130,000 - 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 Presidential election were borrowed from the gracious State of New York by the battleground, the commonwealth of Pennsylvania.USPS whistleblower Jesse Morgan discusses how he drove his trailer in 2020, stuffed w ballots, from NY to PA, & then they disappeared. Pennsylvania Dems CHEATED!“Why did we have all those mail votes? Because of Trump turned the gov't over to Fauci, they embraced lockdowns. They did the CARES Act, which funded mail-in ballots across the country.

I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. First, I'll discuss the surprising state of the real estate economy. Then I answer your listener question Should I develop and build property myself? How do I keep my rental properties repair bill down? And two questions about real estate debt all today on Get Rich Education with real estate capital Jacksonville. Real estate has outperformed the stock market by 44% over the last 20 years. It's proven to be a more stable asset, especially during recessions. Their vertically integrated strategy has led to 79% more home price appreciation compared to the average Jacksonville investor since 2013. JTB is ready to help your money make money and to make it easy for everyday investors. Get started at JWB Real Estate.   Speaker 2 (00:01:01) - You're listening to the show that has created more financial freedom than nearly any show in the world. This is get rich education.   Speaker 1 (00:01:24) - Welcome to the area from Warsaw, Poland, to Warsaw, Indiana, and across 188 nations worldwide. And Keith Weinhold in your listening to Get Rich Education.   Speaker 1 (00:01:33) - Earlier this month, CNBC reported that home prices have hit new highs again, another up just slightly year over year, though the popular sentiment is that by now people have gotten used to paying 7% or even more than 7% mortgage rates and higher rates. That puts the squeeze on housing supply. I mean, gosh, within this era of already paltry supply, I mean, we're talking about direly few homes in some markets here. Nationally, new listings are down 25% from a year ago. All right. Now, that's all national stuff. But look now, just over half of the nation's 50 largest housing markets and they're mostly in the Midwest and Northeast. They have either returned to their prior price peaks or they have set new all time highs. Annual home prices are still weaker out west, but even some of the Western markets has slumped. They're now seeing month over month gains. Yes, we're talking about gains now even in San Jose, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. Now, look, our starter homes, a thing of the past.   Speaker 1 (00:02:47) - Some now think so with these higher prices. Just listen to this from an NAR survey, 40% of millennials who bought homes last year, they plan to stay in them 16 years or more. And for Gen Z, that number jumps up to 48%. Now, who knows if they'll really stay in those homes at that long. But see, what's going on here is just affirmation that so many buyers don't plan to trade in their starter home for a move up home. They got their starter homes when rates were low, though starter homes are not coming onto the market, potential sellers have ghosted the market, making for fewer listings and those fewer listings. That's what's fueling the price growth. So yes, starter homes could largely be a thing of the past, but of course not completely. Now, just two weeks ago here on the show, Jim Rogers told us why long term, he thinks interest rates will go much higher and opinions can be all over the place. So I don't want to get too bogged down in that.   Speaker 1 (00:03:54) - But shorter term, one prominent commentator, he is now emphatic that mortgage rates have hit their top, like, for example, hit their top for perhaps this year and next year. Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the NAR on the direction of mortgage rates. He says, quote, This is the top. It will begin to move down. But you can also says if you're a US home buyer waiting for a return to super low mortgage rates, don't hold your breath. The short lived era of 3% interest rates for 30 year fixed mortgages, that is over, and they are unlikely to return anytime soon, perhaps for decades. He goes on to say that one can never truly predict the future but don't see mortgage rates returning back to the 3% range in the remainder of my lifetime. That is all of what Yun said. Okay. The remainder of Lawrence Hoon's lifetime, he looks pretty healthy and that might be 40 years, 40 plus years. Did we see rates that low again, according to him? Now, did you see this? We posted this in our Instagram stories as our curious article of the week last week.   Speaker 1 (00:05:07) - The Washington Post get a hold of this title. They published an article and it was titled The Housing Market Recession is Already Ending. My preeminent thought is the housing market recession is already ending. That's a curious headline. What housing market recession? I don't get it. And the subtitle doesn't help. It's subtitled Last year's downturn in the housing market didn't last even with higher interest rates. Now prices are stabilizing. Is supply chains have eased up. All right. Well, even with actually reading the complete article, I don't know what they mean by a housing market recession last year. I guess that national home prices stopped appreciating last year and they just stabilized. But I don't know how the heck you get a recession out of that. Maybe with low housing supply, there were fewer transactions and that was being considered a recession. Now, look, I'm going to posit something really unpopular here in today's climate, but I think that this is a question that you really need to ask yourself today, and that is, did Jerome Powell just win? I told you it was unpopular.   Speaker 1 (00:06:20) - He's not a very well liked. Person in a lot of circles. But with CPI inflation at 9% last year and 3% now. Yet throughout this spin, we had a few banks that broke but no recession. Is it possible that Jerome Powell has engineered a soft landing? I've got more on that in a moment. But the actual person of one, Donald, John Trump, made some quick remarks about the economy this month. Let's listen in.   Speaker 3 (00:06:52) - We've never had an economy like we had just three years ago. It was unbelievable. And frankly, this economy is not doing well. But the reason it's doing okay is it's running on the fumes of what we built. But those fumes are running out and they're running out fast. And it's not going to be a pretty picture.   Speaker 1 (00:07:11) - Yeah, I don't know about that. When we look at the broader US economy, let's get something more substantive. And speaking of people that aren't well liked, Jamie Dimon had some great perspective. I think you know that he's the billionaire business exec and the banker that's led JPMorgan Chase since 2005.   Speaker 1 (00:07:30) - To put it another way. This man runs the largest bank in America.   Speaker 4 (00:07:36) - It's the other way around. America has the best hand ever dealt of any country on this planet today ever. Okay. And Americans don't fully appreciate what I'm about to say. We have peaceful, wonderful neighbors in Canada and Mexico. We've got the biggest military barriers ever built called the Atlantic and the Pacific. We have all the food, water and energy we will ever need. Okay. We have the best military on the planet, and we will for as long as we have the best economy. And if you're a liberal, listen closely to me in that one, okay? Because the Chinese would love to have our economy. We have the best universities on the planet. There are great ones elsewhere. But these are the best. We still educate most most of the kids who start businesses around the world. We have a rule of law which is exceptional. If you don't believe me and we talk about Britain, Brazil, Russia, India, Venezuela, Argentina, China, India, believe me, it's not quite there.   Speaker 4 (00:08:29) - We have a magnificent work ethic. We have innovation from the core of our bones. You can ask anyone in this room what you can do to be more productive. Ask your assistants, factory floors, redo it. It's not just the Steve Jobs. It's this broad death with the wires and deepest financial markets the world's ever seen. Okay. And if you. I just made a list of these things and maybe I miss something. It's extraordinary. It's extraordinary. And we have it today. Yes, we have problems. But, you know, when I hear people down, if you travel around the world, I mean, get an airplane, travel around the world and go to all these other countries and tell me what you think.   Speaker 1 (00:09:02) - Yeah, Jamie Dimon really bringing up a lot of those geographic advantages like Peterson and I discuss in depth here Diamond's remarks. They're not new remarks. Those weren't recent ones. And by the way, I don't really care for him calling out liberals, just like labeling people conservatives.   Speaker 1 (00:09:20) - That's counterproductive. I like the quality of ideas as soon as we start labeling things left or right, that quickly becomes more divisive than it does unifying. Don't do left right politics. I do. Up, down, up is integrity. The quality of your ideas concepts means for getting things done and track record. That's what matters. But anyway, coming off Jamie Dimon waxing poetic with American optimism and exceptionalism. Yeah, it is time to ask if the Fed is winning. And first, let's understand something fundamental The fact that high inflation occurred for two years that is irreparable. Let's not overlook that. I mean, you're Trader Joe's grocery store prices. They're not coming back down even if the rate of inflation has slowed. I mean, that is a big fat L, That is a loss. It came from printing all those dollars to paper over the pandemic, which created the high inflation with everything from the paycheck protection program to Stemi checks to the Cares Act. And yes, the executive branch created some of that too.   Speaker 1 (00:10:31) - But my point is, make the irresponsible people that don't have any savings feel some pain once in a while. If you just make money fall from the sky every time there's a crisis, then people are going to learn to not have any reserves or any cash flowing investments during the next crisis. Yes, supply chain constraints are part of the problem too. But since you tried to paper over the pain, see then creating that inflation that results, that makes everyone feel the pain that's middle class or below. All right. But after that understanding, is Jerome Powell now winning by landing the inflation softly without crashing the economy and keeping GDP rising a little in keeping unemployment low in see even the producers price index that's forward looking that measures this change. In selling prices of goods and services producers. That's falling out, right? That leading indicator for consumer price inflation. And that's why inflation expectations are finally dropping. And that doesn't mean that I like the Fed or the system at all. But by now you've at least got to begin to wonder if the Fed can get their soft landing.   Speaker 1 (00:11:47) - They've dropped down from 30,000 foot cruising altitude. There's no turbulence, and they're below, call it, 10,000ft. Now, for the first time in two years, wages are finally rising faster than prices.   Speaker 4 (00:12:01) - We at the Fed remain squarely focused on.   Speaker 1 (00:12:04) - Our dual mandate.   Speaker 4 (00:12:05) - To promote.   Speaker 1 (00:12:05) - Maximum employment and stable.   Speaker 4 (00:12:06) - Prices for the American people.   Speaker 1 (00:12:08) - Yes, sir. That is your job after all. Well, I want to turn to your listener questions here for the remainder of the show. And if you've got a question for me, you can always reach out at Get Rich education, slash contact. The first question comes from Tina in Monroe, Louisiana. She says, Keith, I love your show. Just started listening last month. Tina asks Keith, I have the idea of buying land and I want to know if this is a good idea to build new rentals on. Like for Plex's, I've already formed an LLC and hope to open a business line of credit, but this would be my first ever real estate investment.   Speaker 1 (00:12:49) - Okay, Tina, thanks for finding the show here. Welcome in. I expect that you'll have years of profitable listening ahead to start a new development from digging raw dirt all the way through to procuring your certificates of occupancy and have that be your very first investment for almost anyone. I have got to say no because there is just so much to development. Development is going to rely on your experience and your ability to build a team. You're going to need general contractors and subcontractors and vendors, suppliers and experience dealing with regulators and a municipality and bankers and perhaps investors. And legal development is risky for beginners. You're purchasing something that doesn't yet exist. You've got to be sure that you're buying the right land in the right place. And that means studying everything from geotechnical reports and Perc tests to understanding the demographics, whether you plan to buy that land there in Monroe, Louisiana, or wherever else it is, and then your exit strategy. And while it might not actually be to exit, but it's going to be either to sell your completed development or for you to hold it for rental income, you have really got to know what you're doing.   Speaker 1 (00:14:13) - I am not a developer, but I talked to a lot of them, especially build to rent developers. Now, the reason that I say that the answer is no for development as your first real estate investment for almost anyone. Well, I say almost because if you have a remarkable mentor, someone that's going to go out in the field with you almost every day, then it's a possibility. And even then that mentor should have a proven track record. You need approvals and subdivision and plans drawn and bringing in drainage and utilities and entitlement mean instead of all that for a beginner and really even for most veteran investors, it is substantially easier to buy something that's already built, that has a history of rental occupancy and income. And then the team that you have to build a so much smaller with that primary long term team member as your property manager. But thank you for the question, Tina, because I think a lot of real estate investors wonder about building themselves from raw land. And it seems that even more investors right in here wondering about, you know, just building one individual single family rental home or duplex or fourplex.   Speaker 1 (00:15:25) - And even then, if it's successfully done, it usually takes longer than you think. And then once you're done, the property is vacant and you need to find tenants. So it might be a few more months before it even cash flows. So buy property that's already built, learn investing that way. And what you've done is you've outsourced all of the development unknowns to someone else and they bring you the known and completed development project that is better for more than 99% of people. And then look into being a developer yourself when you've got sufficient experience. If that remains interesting to you, a great mentor with a proven track record or both, if you'd like to ask a question and potentially have me answer it on air here again, go ahead and reach out through get ratification smash contact because that's where you can either leave a voice message or a written one. I am just. Getting started with listener questions. I'm back with more of them. Straight ahead. I'm Keith Reinhold in You're listening to episode 459 of Get Rich Education.   Speaker 1 (00:16:30) - If you want some really passive income, listen to this. You know, I'll just tell you, for the most passive part of my real estate investing personally, I put my own dollars with freedom family investments because their funds pay me a stream of regular cash flow in. Returns are better than a bank savings account up to 12%. Their minimums are as low as 25. K. You don't even need to be accredited. For some of them. It's all backed by real estate and I kind of love how the tax benefit of doing this can offset capital gains in your W-2, jobs, income. And they've always given me exactly their stated return paid on time. So it's steady income, no surprises while I'm sleeping or just doing the things I love. For a little insider tip, I've invested in their power fund to get going on that text family to 668660, and this isn't a solicitation If you want to invest where I do, just go ahead and text family to six six, 866. Jerry listeners can't stop talking about their service from Ridge Lending Group and MLS 42056.   Speaker 1 (00:17:43) - They've provided our tribe with more loans than anyone. They're truly a top lender for beginners and veterans. It's where I go to get my own loans for single family rental property up to four Plex's. So start your pre-qualification and you can chat with President Charlie Ridge personally, though, even deliver your custom plan for growing your real estate portfolio. Start at Ridge Lending Group.   Speaker 5 (00:18:12) - This is Jerry Operations lead Andrea Newburn. Listen to Get Rich Education with Keith Reinhold and don't put your daydream.   Speaker 1 (00:18:29) - You're listening to the show. It's created more financial freedom for busy people just like you than nearly any show in the world. This is guitarist Education. I'm your host, Keith Reinhold. The next question comes from Adam. He is a real estate agent in Seattle. And Adam asks this. Hi, Keith. I've been an avid listener and follower of yours for years now. Like you, the Little Purple Book changed my life early on and I was able to semi retire at age 35. The book that he's talking about, by the way, is that Poor Dad, I am 42 now and back working as a realtor because I love it.   Speaker 1 (00:19:02) - And then after he wrote I Love It in parentheses, he put well, sorta. So I don't know that he loves it too much and I am at a crossroad in my life. Do I keep acquiring more property and more debt or do I start paying down the properties I do have? I have seven properties now and with a mindset of less is more as I want to enjoy my life a bit more and I'm honestly getting tired of managing my three in state properties. Therefore I've been thinking about selling one to pay off the loan of two other properties and really start to downsize and truly be debt free. Life is too short and I want to enjoy the rest of my life. Do you have any advice or opinions for me? Thank you in advance. Okay. Adam. Well, since you've listened for years, you probably already understand that I don't pay off any of my properties, though I could. I don't want to. I'd lose leverage in all that. You probably understand that I don't self manage.   Speaker 1 (00:20:01) - You said that you self-manage three of your seven properties there in Washington state. So since you probably already understand all that, yes, I would acquire more property, more debt and outsource the property management. That way you can enjoy life if the property is in your home state, don't have high rents in proportion to their values. In a lot of places around Seattle, they don't have a high ratio there. Well then it's probably worth 1030 running into out of state property. Or if you really like those Washington properties, then find a property manager there in state and to find a suitable 1031 exchange facilitator with a proven track record, check the resources tab at GRI marketplace.com. That same website will help you find out-of-state properties if you like. You can also contact our coaches to help walk you through that at marketplace.com/coach. That is a free coaching service by the way. Now as far as keeping the instate Washington properties, if you decide that you do want to do that, the bigger Pockets forums can help you vet a qualified property manager there.   Speaker 1 (00:21:11) - Now, Adam, you did say something about the possibility of downsizing and becoming truly debt free, as you put it. But my question is, what's the problem with debt if someone else reliably pays it all for you? Of course your tenant pays a principal and interest and hopefully a little on top of that called cash flow. All right. In that case, all of that debt is outsourced. Now, let me get a little philosophical for a minute. I don't know the name of the person that's the biggest debtor in the entire world. But you know what? He is probably really wealthy or she all circle back to why in a second. Here's a fun way to understand this. The quarterback threw the most interceptions of all time. Oh, you must think that guy is a total loser. Well, you know what? The quarterback that's thrown the most interceptions all time by far is in fact, a Hall of Famer Brett Farve. Oh, well, how can that be? Well, it's because he got so many chances to play.   Speaker 1 (00:22:17) - He must have been a pretty good quarterback for the coach to put him on the field. Then often year after year, the baseball pitcher that lost the most ever games for his team all time, he is named Cy Young. Well, Cy Young also won the most games all time in Major League Baseball. He was one of the very first inductees into the Hall of Fame. And there's even an award given each year. Still, the most outstanding Major League Baseball player called the Cy Young Award. Yet he lost the most games and say, did you meet a guy on the street there where you live and you learn that he has $20 million in debt? I don't even need to know anything else right there. That tells me that he's probably a financial winner to have that much debt because, see, he would need to be highly credit worthy to even get all that debt in the first place. See, you're only looking at the $20 million debt side of his balance sheet. His asset side might be $50 million.   Speaker 1 (00:23:16) - Hey, that's a $30 million net worth. Even with high inflation, $30 million is fairly wealthy today and mad as Mark Zuckerberg is one of the wealthiest people in the world, he has a net worth. North of $100 billion. And the Zuckerbergs, they took a loan for their home even though they could pay cash for it many times over. And yet when Zuckerberg and his wife bought their home, they took out a loan for the leverage and the arbitrage. The wealthiest people in the world have the most debt AI model that you can model that I personally look to increase my debt as time goes on. And then simultaneously, I expect the asset side to increase faster than the debt side. The asset side increases faster because I've got the debt, hence the leverage. So this is why I have an aversion to being debt free. I hope there's both some helpful resources and a philosophical component for you to chew on there as well. Adam The next listener question comes from Heiko in Utica, New York. Sorry if I mispronounce your name.   Speaker 1 (00:24:18) - It's spelled at Jaakko. Maybe it's Jocko, but I'm going to go with Jocko. He asks. I've held my first ever purchase of a rental single family home for a little over a year. It's located in Holladay, Florida, though my property was projected to provide a cash on cash return of 6%, it only produced 3% because repairs cost more than expected On this 1978 built property. I use a local property manager that's been pretty communicative. I always anticipate reading my monthly email statement from him, just wondering how to manage costs over time. Signed Jocko. Okay. Jocko And by the way, I own rental single family homes myself, just about five miles from Holladay, Florida. And these areas are just north of Tampa. Well, Co only getting 3% rather than a projected 6%. It's actually not a terrible miss. Now, it would be if that were your only revenue source or your only return from an investment. But of course, this 3% cash on cash return is one of your five profit sources from income property.   Speaker 1 (00:25:28) - But suffice to say, one great long term strategy to keep myriad repair costs down over time. And it's something that Ken McElroy told me about, and that is charge the tenant for the first $50 in repairs or maybe charge the tenant for the first $100 of repairs. That way they're going to think twice before bugging you or bugging your manager. Now, this can have the desired effect of keeping your long term repair bill down in a few different ways, but yet ensure that you're still serving the tenant. All right. First of all, the first 50 or $100 a repair bill, it's really not that burdensome to most tenants, but yet they will think twice before calling you or it's calling your manager, in this case, Jocko, before calling about something ticky tacky and minor like the kitchen cabinet doors got a little loose on their hinges again. Now you want to provide clean, safe, affordable, functional housing. That is a core concept in mission here. At first, this might incentivize the tenant to make a 10 or 15 minute repair themselves so that you never even hear from them.   Speaker 1 (00:26:43) - And that also prevents, say, a $75 service call from being made in the first place. Now, if it's a repair that's beyond the tenants expertise or expectations to take care of themselves, say it's something like a kitchen faucet that just leaks a little, well, okay, you want to see that that's taken care of for them. But if they have to pay the first small portion of repairs themselves, then that incentivizes the tenant to report a number of small things in one batch. All right. Well, now, that makes it more efficient for you or for your property managers handyman. That makes for fewer service calls, fewer runs to Home Depot and a real reduction in your repair cost. See? Hello. The work from home movement. That's being good for us as residential real estate investors. But there is one downside to that. A few more tenants spend all day at home and there are more components that can wear out sooner. Or there's this more time that tenants spend at home to notice little things that are amiss.   Speaker 1 (00:27:47) - So that's why the time in the real estate market is right to charge the first portion of repair bills to the tenant. That's why this makes sense now. Now, there are a couple caveats around this. Hello. When the tenant first moves in, I'll go ahead and give them a week to bring you any findings and then those things should be taken care of without charging the tenant anything at all. Right? I mean, the tenant shouldn't have to inherit any problems. And the other caveat is that your tenant has to be communicative about items in disrepair that could create long term damage, like a leaky drain, because you don't want that to ruin your subfloor over. Time. So the short answer on how to lower your long term repair bills, especially in a work from home world, is to have it in the lease that the tenant pays for, say, the first $50 to $100 of repairs. Also, you may have heard it just ten episodes ago on episode 449, I discussed 12 ways that you can raise the red in add value to your property.   Speaker 1 (00:28:52) - There's a good bit of related content there to help you keep profitable and get your cash on cash return up. Now, plenty of properties. In fact, probably most properties have exceeded their return projections over the last three years, and that is primarily due to rapid appreciation. But see, you don't get the lessons from the winds, you get the lessons from the underperformers. And that's why I wanted to answer your question for everyone's benefit today. Taco Tacos question was microeconomics. Let's flip it to macroeconomics with this. Next question from Dave in Atlanta, Georgia. Davis This one a while ago. First, here's the remarkable part on the listener question form in the how did you hear about a section, Dave? You simply wrote, I've been listening to you from the very beginning. Gosh, Dave, this is so supremely appreciated. I know we've got a lot of great devotees and I'm incredibly grateful for it. Dave asks With the US government, 30 trillion in debt and there's some rounding there and if inflation is say 10% over a few years, doesn't inflation debase the government's debt just like it does ours, taking it from 30 trillion down to $27 trillion in this case? Yeah, that stays.   Speaker 1 (00:30:12) - Question That's right, Dave. You've 100% got it. I've talked about this in some prior episodes. Since we get to borrow our mortgage loans in the currency that's denominated in the units of the biggest detonation in the history of the world, the dollar in the USA, then they want to print Dave, just like you. If you had $1 million in debt but you couldn't pay it back right now and you had the ability to print dollars ad infinitum, then sure, the easiest way for you to pay back your debt is to print your own dollars, just like America is doing. And that is just another benefit of you keeping high debt on your properties. In fact, the true definition of inflation is an expansion of the money supply. It's not the result, which is a decline in purchasing power. Technically, if the same Chipotle burrito costs $10 last year at $11 this year, that's not inflation. That's the result of inflation. So the USA wants inflation for this reason and other reasons. I've said it before, the surest been investing is that the dollar is going to continue to decline in purchasing power and that's exactly why we are debtors rather than savers.   Speaker 1 (00:31:30) - Take the sure thing.

“Bidenomics” is closely aligned with many—probably even most—of the middle-out economic principles that we discuss on this podcast every week. Much to our surprise and delight, Joe Biden has become the first President in 40 years to reject trickle-down economics in favor of building the economy from the middle out, and the results speak for themselves: Since the pandemic began, America has seen the strongest growth of any leading economy in the world. The economy has added 13 million jobs, inflation has fallen for 12 straight months, and a recession is no longer on the horizon. National Economic Council Deputy Director Bharat Ramamurti returns to the show to explain why Bidenomics has been so successful. Bharat Ramamurti is the Deputy Director of National Economic Council (NEC) for The White House. He previously served as a Member of the Congressional Oversight Commission for the CARES Act, and as the Managing Director of the Corporate Power program at the Roosevelt Institute.  Twitter: @BharatRamamurti Bidenomics is Working https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2023/06/28/bidenomics-is-working-the-presidents-plan-grows-the-economy-from-the-middle-out-and-bottom-up-not-the-top-down  The Transformation at the Heart of Biden's Middle-Out Economic Agenda https://prospect.org/economy/2023-02-09-biden-middle-out-agenda  Website: http://pitchforkeconomics.com Twitter: @PitchforkEcon Instagram: @pitchforkeconomics Nick's twitter: @NickHanauer

Dr. Steve is joined by Josh Zieglowsky, from ERC Specialist, as they talk about how to recoup some of the losses and revive businesses endured during the Biden lockdowns. Josh and his team have helped thousands of Turley talkers and patriot business owners take advantage of an amazing resource called the Employee Retention Credit.   Highlights:  ●      “There was another program at the exact same time as PVP called ERC, which stands for Employee Retention Credit, but you could not get both. In 2021, what President Biden did was he amended it and called it the American Rescue Plan Act, under the CARES Act. - Josh Zieglowsky” ●      “And our main purpose is to help people and go through that process. And that's what's kind of made us different from the competition is we've made it very automated, and easier for business owners to go through the questions, answer the questions for their business, upload a couple documents, t takes us about two, three weeks to get back to them and say, you're approved for, $322,000 and 11 cents. Do you want us to file? Because we don't charge anything up front. We only charge a percentage of what they get approved for when they get the money from the IRS, that's the one thing that's the bad part of the program is it does take the IRS six months to send out the money. We wait until the money's received and then we take 15% of that. - Josh Zieglowsky”  ●      “It's an amazing opportunity. You literally have free money out there that's just waiting for you to pick it up. And it's yours anyway. You're the taxpayer, so don't wait.”   Timestamps:     [02:29] What is this E.R.C?
