Keith welcomes back Rich Dad author Robert Kiyosaki to discuss why debt, inflation, and financial education are critical in today's economy.  Robert challenges traditional advice like "save money and pay off your house," explaining how understanding good debt and owning real assets can accelerate wealth while inflation quietly punishes savers.  They explore how family background and early beliefs shape our money mindset, and why questioning conventional wisdom is essential.  The conversation ultimately stresses that financial education only matters if you take action and intentionally position yourself for turbulent times instead of fearing them.

This is Get Rich Education.   Keith Weinhold  2:30   Welcome to GRE from Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to Williams, Arizona, and across 188 nations worldwide. You're inside one of America's longest running and most listened to real estate shows, this is Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. And with Father's Day this month, it's apropos to talk about Rich Dad. It's been said that the objective of parenting is to turn a liability into an asset. The book Rich Dad Poor Dad has now sold over 40 million copies, and it's been translated into 51 languages. One strong thesis in the book: well, there are a few of them: the rich don't work for money, savers are losers, and your house is not an asset. I think any regular listener here to the GRE podcast is already initiated on this. Savers or losers, because inflation debases your prosperity, and your house is not an asset, because it takes money out of your pocket every month. An asset puts money in your pocket every month instead. And I can see Robert now as he's preparing to take the mic with me here, he's got a blown up visual of his cash flow board game behind him, and then in front of him he's got a few books, including two books that he co-authored with Donald Trump, but this is before Trump was ever a political candidate, so it was before all that, and we're certainly not here to talk politics today. A central theme of the Rich Dad world is that the path for your significant financial betterment is rather than cutting your expenses, increase your income. This is the root action behind the mantra: don't live below your means, grow your means, but see, living below your means is easier. That's the easy thing to do. It's even myopic, say move into a lesser housing situation, or cut out going on vacations. Growing your means takes some education, like how to start a business, or how to own real estate. See, when you deposit money into a bank, all of a sudden that bank has a problem, they owe you interest on it, it's an expense for them. So the bank's job is now to lend your money out to somebody else and make a higher interest rate on it than. Lower interest rate that they're paying you on your deposit. All right. Well, then one direction to focus your education is to start acting like a bank yourself. How do you practically do that? How do you be the bank? Well, just like the bank, you can borrow real estate at a 7% mortgage rate. Now you've got the problem, you've got a monthly mortgage payment you need to make, so you need to beat 7% How are you going to do that? You better get it right. Well, with tax deductions, you might really be paying five to 6% Meanwhile, the real estate that you've carefully identified and invested in with your borrowed capital can earn multiples more without taking high risk, and actually that five to 6% effective cost of capital that you've got is zero, because that monthly payment is all outsourced to your tenants anyway, and what made all this possible for you? Debt made it possible, and now you're acting like the bank, and banks often have the tallest skyscrapers in your city for a reason, because they make money on those spreads all over the place, and now you're doing the same thing. This is an example of growing your means. The bank will hand you 500k to buy a new home or rental property, not for stocks. They won't do that for crypto, not for your 401k not for a business idea that popped into your head at 3am Only real estate, the same institutions, banks that manage your savings and study every asset class, and are very conservative, and have armies and armies of analysts. They will only lend you a half million dollars for one thing: real estate. For a few years, I was a writer for the Rich Dad Advisors blog when that was a thing. Robert and I were most recently together publicly last year when we both served as faculty members on the Terrific Real Estate Guys Investor Summit at Sea in the Caribbean. Let's talk to Robert.    Keith Weinhold  7:18   I'd like to welcome back to the show for his fifth appearance here on the GRE podcast. Well, just the number one selling personal finance author of all time. He wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad in 1997 and has ruled the Rich Dad world ever since. It's a warm get worse education. Welcome back to Robert Kiyosaki.   Robert Kiyosaki  7:38   Thank you, Keith. You know, nobody's more surprised about the success of Rich Dad Poor Dad than me, because it was turned down by every publisher in New York. It was like Simon and Schuster and all these guys, and they said, Why are you turning it down? They said, You don't know what you're talking about. It was consensus about the five editors of different book companies was what you're saying doesn't make sense, that's how strange it was back 1997 and now it's the number one in the world.   Keith Weinhold  8:10   This is often how it is when something strikes someone differently, like the Star Wars movies had difficulty getting traction because it was so unusual, and fortunately, Robert, today the consensus among readers has seen that, oh my gosh, Rich Dad Poor Dad changed my thinking more than anything else. The contrarian thinker,   Robert Kiyosaki  8:34   you know, strike Rich Dad, Poor Dad. My poor dad was academic, you know, PhD, yeah. So he'd be the kind of guy that says your book makes no sense, whereas my rich dad never went to school because his father died when he was 13 and he had to take over the family business. So much of a young person's life is predicated upon their parents or where the family or the culture you come from, and I've been studying more of that, like let's say I was raised in Alabama, I'd have a southern accent but because of the environment it presents it upon you, as the same as money, if a child is born into a poor family, or in my case an academic family, the value systems are all different. My family, and it's still true today. Got to go to school, get a job, and get a pension with the government. That's their whole belief system, and they're so proud of this. Is my brothers and uncles, and all that. They're so proud when their child has what's called a GS, and a government service pension, that's the whole idea on finance, get that pension, job security,   Keith Weinhold  9:49   yeah,   Speaker 1  9:49   nothing wrong with it, nothing wrong with it, but a lot of times we can't hear something because of what's been compressed into us by our culture, our. Family, so my, you know, my poor dad was always, you have to get your PhD, or what? God got a PhD. So my brothers and sisters, their kids are all getting their PhDs. It's fascinating. It's fascinating.   Keith Weinhold  10:14   Yeah, when your poor dad tells you you need to get your PhD, and you're asking for what? Maybe the answer was for him. So our parents, yes, they're often our first teachers.   Speaker 2  10:25   It's just values, very different values. And the more I kind of study it, I don't think I'm a good student of it, but there's this thing called a paradigm matrix, and a paradigm matrix is what is like a cookie cutter, so like father, like son, you know, like mother, like daughter, so much of our lives are transferred by our parents and our schools and things like this, and so that's why Rich Dad Poor Dad, for some people it works, but when it first came out, 1997 as you said, it was strange. I said, you know, the savers were losers, and today everybody knows inflation is going to the roof. I said, your house is not an asset. I got hammered for that one.   Keith Weinhold  11:11   Right.   Speaker 1  11:11   Rich don't work for money. Those are my three rich dad rules. Rich don't work for money, savers are losers, and your house is not an asset. I built Rich Dad Poor Dad around those three rules. I didn't follow my poor dad, those were his guiding lights. You know, you have to have job security, and you have to have a government pension, and my house is my biggest asset. And so you can't hear the person because you already have that paradigm magic, or that cookie cutter inside of you. This is my value system in my family. If I didn't get my PhD, I was stupid. I never got one. But anyway, you know,   Keith Weinhold  11:50   just because you believe something for a long time doesn't make it true,   Speaker 1  11:55   correct? And what's happening? Because I wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad, because I could see this economic times coming, 1971 named Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard, and I knew at that time we're going to have hyperinflation, so that it hasn't hit us quite yet. 1971 was august 15. Nixon's taking the dollar off the gold standard, and you watch what's going to happen next few years. We're going to have hyperinflation that we've never seen before, and it's gonna make the poor and middle class poorer. The rich will get richer, but poor and middle class will get poorer. Tragically,   Keith Weinhold  12:30   that is such an appropriate time to bring this up, Robert, because a lot of people are drawing parallels between the 1970s two waves of inflation during that decade, and what's going on today. I mean, there is so much fuel now that could ignite higher inflation. You've got the cumulative effects of the Iran war and the energy shocks and bottled up supply chains. And Robert, I don't know if you've heard it yet, but you and I's mutual friend, Dr. Chris Martinson, yeah, peak prosperity, there, Chris Martinson, he recently said that he would not be surprised to see 18 to 20% annual inflation in the next two to three years. That's exactly what he said.   Speaker 2  13:12   Yeah, but it's good for those who have assets, right? You see what, when things inflate, you know, like chickens and eggs and milk go up, but so do assets go up, most of them, like gold and silver, will go up, but the purchasing of the dollar will come down. Inflation is a tax, that's all it is.   Keith Weinhold  13:33   So much potential for inflation there, and a lot of this really ties in with debt, about how debtors can be enriched inflation. I think about the cantillion effect, meaning that in inflationary times those closest to the money printer win, and that usually tends to be governments, large banks, corporations with easy credit scores, but a lot of people don't realize that we can benefit from that too is everyday investors that use leverage prudent debt,   Speaker 1  14:05   right, and tell you, in effect, is basically what interest rate can you get, and how easy is money for you, and I use debt, I'm 1,000,000,002 in debt, and that scares the crap out of most people, but I use debt to get rich, and most people use debt to get poor, and again, that's family, what your education says. So, a lot has to do with early childhood development, and all that stuff. The more I study it, it really goes back to before a child was like 15. The cookie cutter has been cut.   Keith Weinhold  14:36   Yes, it goes back to not always having to believe everything that you think.   Speaker 2  14:40   We all have access to education. I have my cash flow game here. I teach people how to use debt, and Dave Ramsey says don't use debt. Well, he's a smart man too, Dave. I like him a lot, and most people should listen to Dave Ramsey, but if you're going to use debt, you'd better take some education, so. To go 1,000,000,002 in debt, man, you better know something. People aren't living paycheck to paycheck, they're living credit card to credit card now, and getting wiped out. I hate to laugh, but it's so obvious. You go, because they have no financial education, and that's why my book was turned down by all those academics in New York City, the publishers say, you don't know what you're talking about. How can I say your house is not an asset? How can I say savers are losers? How can I say the rich don't work for money? And that's what Don't Rich Dad Poor Dad on. And now it's been an international best seller, number one in the world for like 25 years.    Keith Weinhold  15:39   Yeah, well, it's so interesting that you bring up Dave Ramsey here, Robert. He often gets his followers to make a debt-free scream when they're debt free, and you know what I think, Robert, for those that scream that they're debt free, what they're doing is they're postponing screaming that they're job free or job optional, they could have been prudently leveraging dollars for profit, instead, like you and I do.   Speaker 2  16:06    Well, let me just say, Dave Ramsey's advice is good for most people. I'm saying, if you're going to learn to use debt, you know, if all you want is a job and a pension, you don't have to study that much. The biggest mistake I think ever made was at 401 k. It's going to wipe out boomer generation. It's going to.. that's the memos. I wrote this book. Here's who stole my pension, and that's when it's going to nail the boomers. They're finished, because their pensions are going to get stolen. They're four 1k IRAs. They're finished, but they do.. they listen. No, they go, they send their kids to school to get their MBA and get a, get a 401 k.   Keith Weinhold  16:46   Well, I kind of think when you have education around debt, you sort of understand this difference between productive debt and what I'll call ego debt. So, can you talk to us more about what kinds of debt make people rich today and what kinds of debt can quietly destroy them.   Speaker 2  17:02   Well, they should read Rich Dad Poor Dad. Really, I'm serious. That's all it is about, really, is I use debt to get rich, and Dave Ramsey's advice is good for those who don't want to study. So, if you're a PhD in microbiology, and you're a doctor, Dave Ramsey's advice is good for you, because you have no financial education, it's not between your right ear and your left ear. So, I had to study debt, that's the difference. It's what we study.   Keith Weinhold  17:29   And for those that are uninitiated on this, what we're talking about here is, if you've got, say, 200k to invest in real estate, and real estate's going to go up 5% a year. Okay, if you pay all cash, you only have a 5% gain on your 200k but if you get an 800k loan and now you invest in a million dollars worth of real estate, you have that entire million dollars going up 5% not just 200k and you have the tenants servicing the 800k in debt for you. This is really the path to wealth through debt, which is counterintuitive.   Speaker 1  18:02   You don't just get into debt. I mean, you really got to understand debt, and real estate doesn't always go up. It's about to crash again, and I like crashes. Don't get me wrong, I love crashes, because a crash in a stock market, bond market, real estate market is something going on sale, so like if Walmart had a sale, every poor person would run in there, but when the real estate market has a sale, all the poor people run away. I like crashes, that's when you get rich, one's coming big time, big time.   Keith Weinhold  18:33   Well, I want to learn more about that, because residential real estate in our lifetimes has only fallen significantly one time, that was in 2008 and circumstances are so different today. Today, you have responsible lending, and you don't have this oversupply that you had in 2008 So, tell us more about a potential real estate crash that's going to interest a lot of people.   Speaker 1  18:53   Well, real estate crashes, because the currency crashes. It's really the problem with the world today, and this is the whole world, is America is now what, the biggest debtor nation in world history.   Keith Weinhold  19:05   Yeah,   Speaker 1  19:05   39 trillion or something like that. And Japan is a bunch of idiots on Japanese, I can say that they save money. Why would you save money when Japan was the biggest money printer of all times? That'd be like somebody you know, sticking water in your gas tank. Why would you go and fill up with water? But that's what the Japanese were doing. They're saving money. It makes no sense. I mean, I just.. I'm just a different person, you know. I just didn't go to school like my family did. I mean, I have a college education and all that, but I studied different things after school. I studied debt, I studied real estate, and that's the big difference. So, I'm 1,000,000,002 in debt. So, in 2008 when the market crashed, you know, I borrowed 30 million bucks and leveled it up with 1,000,000,002 in debt.   Keith Weinhold  19:52   Good timing   Speaker 1  19:53   should not do what I do, but I studied it since 1974 It's debt that's not. Right now today we have oil going up. My college degree is in oil. I'm an oil tanker driver. I drove oil tankers with Standard Oil. I'm making fortunes today as the price of oil goes up, so you know, more Netanyahu and Trump bomb Iran, terrible as it is. I'm getting richer, so you don't have to be poor, but you're poor because that gap between your left ear and your right ear is empty, you know. You've been taught inflation's bad. Well, inflation is good if you're holding oil or gold or silver or some real estate. Anyway, most people have no financial education. That's why I created the cash flow board game, so you can have fun learning how to be rich. If you don't want to learn to be rich, then go to school and get your PhD.   Keith Weinhold  20:47   Sometimes, when people don't understand how real estate debt benefits them, one way I've helped people understand Robert is that, say, you have a loan balance of 112k on a piece of real estate today, that feels really small. It almost feels like something that you can pay off with what you have in your savings account, but if you go back 30 years, when the median home price is 140k 80% debt on that would have been 112k So here, 30 years later, with your 30 year fixed rate loan, you still just have that 112k in debt, while the median home price is over 400k and that's even if you hadn't made a principal payment at all, so it's really a way to visualize how inflation starts shrinking the real weight of our debt over time.   Speaker 1  21:31   My advice is I would study debt, so I take real estate courses, I'm always studying, I'm studying constantly, because the markets are changing so quickly. The biggest problem today started in 1971 when Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard. So, we're the biggest detonation in world history. I think we're going into a depression right now. So, depression plus AI coming along is going to wipe out jobs. I'm going to get richer. What are you going to do? So, I'm already planning for the future, the people that get rich can see the future. So, when you say, well, you know, back in 2008 it only crashed for a little while. Then, okay, so what? And history has proven in 1971 Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard. Every nation has collapsed. Who did that? The Chinese did it, the Romans did it, the Greeks did it, Germans did it. They print money, and so that's the real issue. It's not debt, but it's also the economic macro problems that keep going into the world. The dollar is coming down, and I'm afraid that we're going into a global depression. I hope I'm wrong, like Grant Cardone, and I have fights all the time about it, you know, because he's a big proponent of that. Real estate always goes up, it doesn't always go up,   Keith Weinhold  22:47   right?   Speaker 1  22:47   It doesn't always go up. The stock market doesn't always go up. The bond market's crashing. Everybody says, "Oh, bonds are safe. The bond market's in the biggest bubble in world history. We're going into a depression. So, what are you going to do about it? I'm afraid America is going to crash because we've taken on Iran, and Iran's a powerful, powerful force out there. I'm not in favor of it, but everybody who's messed with Iran has got kicked. So just note that as this look at history, you can see the future, but you have to be careful in the issue you follow. So, 1971 I was on an aircraft carrier in Vietnam, and my rich dad wrote me a letter. I was a marine helicopter pilot, went down three times. Rich Dad wrote me lessons. Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard, watch out, and immediately I started buying gold. So, I started buying gold at $50 an ounce to today is what, four or 5000   Keith Weinhold  23:43   Yeah,   Speaker 1  23:44   the trouble with gold is you pay high taxes on it, constant taxes too. Good luck to learn, Keith. I study constantly.   Keith Weinhold  23:52   You're listening to Get Rich Education. Our guest is Rich Ed Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki.

If you've worked hard to build wealth, is your money positioned to actually support your goals?

Listen to Get Rich Education with Keith Weinhold, and don't quit your daydream.   Keith Weinhold  25:47   Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinholt. We're talking with the top-selling personal finance author of all time, Robert Kiyosaki.   Speaker 1  25:55   Just study history. History will see this, you'll see the future. So, this is my good friend here, McDonald. You know why he wants you to get rich, and it's this one man, one message.   Keith Weinhold  26:06   Robert's holding up a book now.   Speaker 1  26:08   You've got to get educated on money, but most people won't, so they got a 401 k, and they live debt free. Good advice. Will it protect them? No, it won't protect them from a, you know, if you lose your job, AI takes it away, or is a massive crash, but we've never been in this much debt before to you. Black generation is screwed, boomers and boomers are screwed, because we're the first generation with a four 1k that was 1974 1974 also Kissinger went to Saudi Arabia to sign the dollar up back by oil, and today my buddy here, Trump is bombing the crap out of Iran. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but the price of oil is going through the roof now. Everybody's complaining about it because of inflation, so chicken and eggs go up in price, you know. Diesel delivers chicken and eggs all over the world. I'm getting richer because I own oil wells, you see. You don't have to be poor, but you better question what they put between your left ear and your right ear. What did Mommy and Daddy tell you? Go to school, get a job, get a job with a government service. My daughter's a GS, she's got a master's from Washington State University losers,   Keith Weinhold  27:24   this untethering of the dollar from gold in 1971 that meant that there is no sovereign currency in the world today that's still tied to gold, allowing for more money printing and enriching over time debtors like you and I, but Robert, we think about how debtors are profiting, and you spoke earlier about how oftentimes your parents put all of these values inside you. How do you emotionally tolerate having a lot of debt yourself? You talked about having $1.2 billion in debt. How do you emotionally deal with that?   Speaker 1  28:00   I study, I take courses. I'm constantly in seminars studying debt. I don't study a 401 ks or bonds, that's for losers. But this is the biggest point, Keith. You got to find out. My rich had always said to me, says there's a billion ways to financial heaven. So, there's what, 8 billion people on planet earth, and 1 billion of the eight may make it to financial heaven, but there's 7 billion to financial hell, and the difference is what's between your left ear and your right ear, and that's why you may choose what you learn carefully, cash flow game, study it, have fun, practice, play, learn, but if you don't want to learn, then follow Dave Ramsey's advice. That's much better. It's better for you, really. I'm serious. And get your PhD and get a 401 k and get wiped out when you lose your job. It's up to you.   Keith Weinhold  28:54   Yeah, I mean, the debt-free mindset probably is better for most people, but I think you shouldn't aspire to want to be like most people. Most people are overweight, and they have a busted relationship, and they don't have enough money at the end of the month. So we're really not aspiring to be mediocre here, and that can mean taking on prudent debt. You wrote something in a book one time, I don't think it was Rich Dad Poor Dad, it was one of your later books. This is so simple, but I found it to be so profound and life-changing for me. And that is simply being wealthy is a choice   Speaker 1  29:28   that doesn't, what you want, it's your choice, but you better know what your choices are. What did Mommy and Daddy say to you? But also, were they doing in front of you?   Keith Weinhold  29:39   Right,   Speaker 1  29:40   were they cleaning for job security or were they buying coil wells? Like, I own Bitcoin, but they'll recommend it now. I study it. I don't really understand it that well. I have 5049 Bitcoin, not much, but as inflation goes up, my Bitcoin goes up. Also, have in theory. I'm old. I don't understand tech that well, but I buy it to learn it, to practice, to study it. Am I an expert at Bitcoin? No. So I just keep studying, that's all I'm saying. I have a choice how to put between this year and that year. That's your choice today.   Keith Weinhold  30:18   Well, that's really interesting, Robert, because some people say that you should only invest in something that you understand well, others say that you're only going to understand something well if you invest a little in it first and have a stake. Well, is there any last thought that you have, Robert, as we wind up, anything at all that a listener should know today?   Speaker 1  30:39   No, I mean, I just said it, that's it. Choose what you put between your left brain and right ear, and what do you do? What do you do in your spare time? Like studying, you can ask the people around me. I'm constantly studying, you know, because I like to win. I'm very concerned, Keith. We're going into the biggest depression in history. So, what happens when you lose your job and you can't put food on the table, that's gonna create another problem. So, I'm a big pessimist, but I'm ready for it. I have a lot of guns, so the, I call it the 5g's Okay, you have to have gold, food, I mean ground, gasoline, and guns, that's preparing for the future, the 5g will be gold, gas, ground, food, guns.   Keith Weinhold  31:27   Well, Robert, you gave us a lot to think about there, including some actionable things. It's been great having you back on the show.   Speaker 1  31:32   Okay. Well, thank you. Keep up the good work.   Keith Weinhold  31:40   I believe Robert feels that a calming economic depression would be linked to the longer term calamity about the dollar being de-pegged from gold for about 55 years now. His 1.2 billion in debt is largely, if not completely, good debt. You can learn more about Robert and the Rich Dad world@richdad.com and he and I talked more off air. As much as he stresses financial education, he emphasizes taking action after you've learned; otherwise, you really haven't gained much of anything. But the rat race is so busy that some people don't have time to care about this stuff. In fact, the difference between financial education and financial courage is action taking. That's the difference. Now, in my view, it seems that some feel like financial betterment means cutting your expenses so much that you reduce your standard of living even over the long term, and doing that for the long term, you might do some of that in the short term, earlier in your investing career, because you need some capital formation, but to me, before long, financial betterment should give you the ability to make your life better. I mean, really don't buy the boat or RV just because it's a depreciating asset. Well, you don't want to do that wastefully if you can't afford it, but if you can learn how to afford it, consider borrowing for it, investing it at a higher interest rate than the RV loan, and profiting while you enjoy the RV, some people don't even think something like that is possible. Well, that's the sort of thing financial education can do. Genuine financial betterment means that you can take the trip, it means that you can buy the boat, because what's worse, owning a depreciating asset or living a depreciating life. Big thanks to Robert Kiyosaki.    Keith Weinhold  33:47   Today, we've got a lot of great upcoming shows here on the Get Rich Education podcast. Next week, The Mad Scientist of Multifamily, Neil Bower, will be here. It's going to be a charged conversation on the state and the future of the residential real estate market. Also, I've been compiling my top 12 dirty dozen due diligence questions that are going to help you avoid mistakes when you buy a piece of income property, like for example, How do you be sure that a build to rent community isn't overbuilt with supply, and why you should always get a property inspection, even on a new construction property that's coming in future weeks, and if you're a new listener and still learning about how to prudently use debt to build wealth, you're in luck. Just eight weeks ago, on episode 600 it's an episode where it's just me talking to you, called Debt is the American dream. Be sure to check out that show until next week. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. In In the Spirit of Rich Dad, don't quit your daydream.   Speaker 3  34:52   Nothing on this show should be considered specific personal or professional advice.

Construction costs are rising again, creating a new challenge for the housing market. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down why copper, lumber, diesel, aluminum, and other building material prices are surging in 2026 and what that could mean for home prices, housing affordability, and real estate investors. You'll hear why builders are struggling to price new homes, how higher construction costs could slow housing supply, and why rising replacement costs may actually benefit owners of existing properties. Kathy also explains how these inflationary pressures could keep mortgage rates elevated and what investors should watch when evaluating renovation budgets, development projects, and long-term real estate opportunities.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1359: Mitsubishi is jumping back into the pickup market with help from Nissan, a supplier strike threatens GM's truck production at a critical moment, and the internet-famous F-250 robins have finally left the nest, clearing the way for one very patient delivery.Show Notes with links:Mitsubishi is heading back into the U.S. pickup truck market for the first time in nearly two decades, teaming up with Nissan on a midsize truck while also reviving the iconic Pajero/Montero SUV.Mitsubishi will launch a U.S.-built midsize pickup sourced from Nissan, likely tied to the next-generation Frontier platform expected later this decade.The truck marks Mitsubishi's return to the segment after discontinuing the Raider pickup following the 2010 model year.The strategy is part of a three-step U.S. revival plan: expand off-road offerings, enter new segments through Nissan partnerships, and grow the dealer network with urban satellite stores.Mitsubishi is also reviving the Pajero (Montero) SUV this fall, building it on the Triton pickup platform and creating an entire family of Pajero-branded vehicles.“We will prioritize restoring profitability and work to turn the business around through brand strengthening and product strategies.” — Mitsubishi President Keisuke SugiuraA labor dispute at American Axle is putting pressure on one of GM's most important profit centers. Nearly 1,000 UAW workers have walked off the job, threatening the supply of axles used in Silverado, Sierra, Colorado, and Canyon pickups just as GM ramps up truck production.UAW members at American Axle's Three Rivers, Michigan plant began striking after contract talks broke down over wages and mandatory overtime.Workers say they are still living with wage cuts accepted during the 2008 financial crisis, with many production employees topping out around $22 per hour despite years of strong supplier profits.The plant produces critical axles for GM's full-size and midsize pickups, giving the strike potential to impact some of the automaker's most profitable vehicles.Timing is especially challenging for GM as it looks to capitalize on Ford's pickup production constraints and growing competition from Ram, whose truck sales are up 23% this year.“For 18 years, these members have built you an empire of profit, while getting treated like dirt.” — UAW President Shawn Fain.Remember the F-250 that became a federally protected bird sanctuary? The robins have officially left the nest, the truck can finally head to its new owner, and the dealership's unexpected wildlife story turned into an international feel-good headline.Lugnut, Axle, Diesel and Turbo officially flew away last week, ending a month-long delivery delay for the customer's F-250.What started as a quirky dealership story ended up earning coverage from The New York Times, People, The Guardian, Automotive News and even Ford's corporate media channels.Olathe Ford-Lincoln leaned into the moment, giving the birds names, posting updates, and turning a routine vehicle delivery into a viral community story.The customer, a construction company, never pressured the dealership and agreed to let nature take its course before taking delivery.“The new owners said they were in no hurry to get the truck and the robins could finish raising their family.” — Diane Johnson, Executive Director, Operation WildLife.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast  as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Simon Constable describes an idyllic spring in France before pivoting to alarming price increases for diesel, electricity, and natural gas. He warns that inflation is barreling through global economies as an "unleaded tax." (13/16)1900 HAILEY ID

संयम और कटौती. एक दौर था जब इन्हीं गर्मियों में शहर के कुछ मोहल्लों से बिजली की कटौती होती थी, और इतनी गर्मी में भी हम रखते थे संयम. हमारे घरों में भी जब जब कहीं से कोई विपत्ति आन पड़ती थी, बड़े बुज़ुर्गों की सलाह में संयम और कटौती दोनों शुमार होती थीं. पिछले दिनों कुछ ऐसा हुआ, कि भारत भर की जनता के कानों में ये शब्द फिर कौंधे. जब पीएम मोदी ने तेलंगाना के सिकंदराबाद में 7 Pointer की अपील की. पीएम मोदी की इस सलाह को देशभर में दो तरह से देखा गया. एक तरफ़ तो लोगों ने कहा कि मोदीजी इस West Asia और Hormuz संकट के समय में संयम और कटौती की सलाह दे रहे हैं. लेकिन दूसरी तरफ़ भर भर के उसकी इस अपील की आलोचनाएं भी हो रहीं हैं. ये दोनों बातें Subjective है. लेकिन जब कोई Economy के Professor इस सलाह, इसके Consequences या Faultlines को समझाएं तो मुमकिन है कि एक Objective Insight आप और हम दोनों पा सकें. Padhaku Nitin के इस एपिसोड में बात इसी पर हुई. सोना ख़रीदना छोड़ देने से क्या सब ठीक हो जाएगा? पूरा देश अगर सलाह मांग कर WFH कर भी ले, तो क्या Hormuz संकट हंसते खेलते बीत जाएगा? ये भी समझाया कि War होती ही किसी देश की Economy किस तरह बदल जाती है?

Die Bundesregierung hat das neue Förderprogramm für Elektroautos offiziell gestartet. Ein Portal für die entsprechenden Anträge wurde laut Umweltminister Schneider freigeschaltet. Die Förderung ist gestaffelt nach Einkommen, Familiengröße und Fahrzeug. Unter bestimmten Bedingungen ist eine staatliche Zuwendung von bis zu 6.000 Euro möglich. Schneider sagte, die Elektromobilität biete die Chance, von Diesel und Benzin unabhängig zu werden. Die Reichweiten der E-Autos verbesserten sich, es gebe mehr Lademöglichkeiten und die Hersteller böten auch mehr Kleinwagen an.

Register here to attend the live virtual event "Why Investors Are Targeting Oklahoma Real Estate in 2026" on Thursday, May 28th at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. Keith describes how a plain long-term single-family rental can quietly build wealth in ways most investors overlook, using his "GRE Duck" framework to illustrate returns beyond simple cash flow. He also emphasizes the passive income potential of buy-and-hold properties, detailing factors like: appreciation, principal paydown, tax benefits, and inflation. An Oklahoma-based investor and provider then joins Keith to introduce Oklahoma City and nearby markets as emerging options for cash flow–focused buyers.  Together, they explore why this lesser-known market and a straightforward buy-and-hold approach may deserve a closer look from investors.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  1:23   Welcome to GRE from Hudson, Colorado to Hudson, New York and across 188 world nations. I'm Keith Weinhold, and this is get rich education with perspective every week that you won't hear from the average slack jawed finance talking head. Just a few weeks ago, it was announced that rent payments will now factor into credit scores. Yes, I suppose that now tenants can say, See, my rent is not like throwing money away. I'm investing in my FICO score. This is good news for landlords. It can be good news for tenants too, actually, and I think it's just good for society that being accountable and making timely rent payments get tracked and can be rewarded. Yes, the news is that weeks ago, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are allowing rent and utility payments to be included in credit reports that are factored into eventual mortgage approvals. It is good that your tenant is informed of this, and therefore they'll be more incentivized to pay you the rent on time. So yes, rent is now a credit builder and hmm, does this mean that America finally admitted that shelter is more important than your tenant's Banana Republic Visa card? This is something that should have been done a long time ago now. This also helps in the rent to own strategy, if you ever employ that with a tenant. Yeah, the rent to own strategy. That's where a tenant, they rent a home from you today, with the option to buy it from you later at a pre agreed price. It's basically a hybrid between renting and buying. And the advantage is you can sell your rental at a greater profit than you could otherwise, when you employ that and the reason that having rent payments be on a credit report now gives you some assurance that your tenants will improve their credit scores enough to qualify for a mortgage and actually buy your rental. So that's always an exit option for you the rent to own strategy benefiting too from this change. Now let me tell you about the GRE duck, because this duck is quacking, making some noise, and we talk about what you might think of as a more base investment strategy. And this might be your base investment strategy. It is just simple long term buy and hold investing. Some people mistakenly think that to be a big profiteer in real estate, that it takes a lot of time and money, or they think that you've got to flip a property or wholesale or do rent to own plans with your tenant, like I just mentioned, or that you have to house hack. You don't have to do any of that heavy hands on stuff. You can be highly profitable without opening up some active business inside your property, like an assisted living home or doing some co living arrangement that you self manage, or doing short term rentals. No, you don't have to do any of that. No sledge hammer required. Let's talk about the GRE duck and how normal long term rentals are super profitable. In fact, you can profit $2,500 per. Per month from just one ordinary, single family investment property, just a regular long term rental with, say, a small down payment on a 300k income property.    Keith Weinhold  5:14   Now $2,500 that might seem high to be clear, that's not the rent amount. That's not the gross. This is your net, $2,500 in total profit every month. And you know, from the outside, the uninitiated might say, Well, wait, how could one plain house really perform this? Well, all right, say that it creates $200 in monthly cash flow, your rent income, minus expenses. This only represents the part of a duck that is visible on top of the water there on the lake surface, because that's all that most people see. And it's not a decoy duck. This is the real thing, because the duck also kicks up less visible underwater returns of another $2,300 monthly. And here's how what's beneath the surface, those duck legs are paddling like they're doing CrossFit. Here's a plausible scenario. Let's just use an appreciation rate of 5% mortgage rate of 6% and say inflation is 3% Well, the first thing that the duck is furiously kicking up underwater is that erstwhile appreciation of 5% on a 300k property. This is $15,000 a year that you're benefiting, which is $1,250 per month of profit to you. Next, there's principal pay down, also known as your ROA, that return on amortization your tenant is chipping away at your loan balance for you $3,000 a year from an amortization table, that's 250 bucks a month. Then there's the tax benefits. Say the estimated depreciable value is 240k after land divide that by 27 and a half years for your depreciation schedule, that is an $8,700 a year deduction. If you're in a 25% tax bracket, that's 2200 bucks a year, nearly another $200 a month from this alone. And there are more tax benefits than that depreciation, but that's all we're going to use for simplicity. And finally, inflation, profiting 3% inflation on your 240k loan, that is 7200 bucks a year. Yes, another 600 bucks a month. Now let's put it all together to see what the duck is doing. You've got $200 worth of cash flow, which is the visible duck, and then the rest of the paddling legs, with what they're doing underwater, it's $1,250 of appreciation, 250 in principal pay down, 200 in tax benefits, and 600 in inflation profiting. This is how your total financial benefit is $2,500 a month, and this is $30,000 of annual benefit to you. Yes, on average, you are 30k wealthier annually just from this 20% down payment on one plain, single family rental with something about as passive as it gets in real estate, that $200 per month of cash flow, that's only the part that you can see the duck gliding on the surface. And now, of course, your exact number is going to be higher or lower. Oh, maybe some downers on this is if there's a surprise insurance claim that dense things like a tree falling on your fence or a roof leak or a plumbing backup, you'll also have closing costs that you need to pay one time, a three to 4% of the loan amount when you buy so the duck could get splashed. And then this could be even better than I laid out. You might have a refinance opportunity that could increase your number. Your mortgage rate could be less than the 6% number that I use. Many builders are buying it down to under 5% for you still, and this will grow your profit number beyond $30,000 a year, and in this case, the duck would enjoy a tailwind.    Keith Weinhold  9:45   Today, you do often need a seller to provide incentives to make deals create cash flow. I did some rounding for simplicity in that example, which is really like a fresh spin on real estate pays five ways that I laid out there. So essentially, this $30,000 of annual benefit this occurs whether you show up to work or not, whether you stay in bed or not, and you're probably working on it one hour per month or less. Yes, this is simply buy and hold property. None of this flipping or wholesaling or active businesses that you need to run inside it buy and hold property that's either new build or it's turnkey renovated. I mean, it's even kind of boring, no market timing, no next hot thing, nothing loud, nothing risky, nothing Instagramable. Yet so many people miss out on all of this and why? It's because they only see that $200 visible part of the duck, and they sort of think, why bother? And then you have other investors that don't stick with it long enough to realize and capture the benefit. It could take a few years to really feel a wave of appreciation or inflation. These things are more apparent, like a duck that starts quacking and getting noticed, the GRE duck helps you understand how even a modest portfolio of four or five or 10 ordinary houses builds lasting wealth. Some people think that they need to own 100 doors worth of apartment building units or something like that in order to quit their job. That is just not true. I describe precisely how the middle class can get ahead. You could quietly out earn your day job with just a small pack of properties. This is embodied and symbolized by the GRE duck. Later today, we'll talk about the exact types of properties that are conducive to this. Let me tell you what's really interesting. Now, when we look at a five year arc, here's what's remarkable. In 2022 mortgage rates tripled and home prices rose anyway. In 2024 and 2025 the level of inventory soared and home prices rose anyway. Last year, available inventory was up about 30% from the prior year. Well now it's only up about 4% from last year, the growth in available housing supply has really slowed. It is going to be fascinating if supply shrinks this year, and this is the trend, this is the direction that the market is going, which could put accretive upward pressure on prices, but not as much as something else could. Now, sometimes here on the show, I inform you about micro real estate issues, or like the savviest strategy to achieve rent increases with your tenant, but there is a macro force that could reshape real estate markets in your purchasing power for years. In fact, I'm about to share with you this is the most important, newsworthy message that I have had in years. CPI inflation keeps rising. Jerome Powell is now newly out as Fed Chair Kevin Warsh is the new guy, and he's in there at a moment where global expectations and interest rates and currencies and housing and investor psychology could all shift at once. Now, frankly, I think it would be reckless to cut rates into the fresh inflationary shock that we have from the war in Iran now, but that's exactly what some market participants are betting on, and this time, inflation is not Coming from stimulus checks and peloton bikes, like it did during covid. At this point, we have already weathered a pandemic and lockdowns and money printing and tariffs. Now it is even more we have added in a kinetic war and severe energy shocks and supply chains that are now tied into knots, the profundity of the Iran war effects are coming two time.    Keith Weinhold  14:53   GRE podcast guest, Dr, Chris Martinson and I, you know, we are not some Doomer. Spouting baseless hyperbole to get fear clicks. This month, Chris stated that he would not be surprised to see 18 to 20% inflation in the next two to three years. Yes, you heard that right. This would make the pandemic inflation spike look like a warm up act. Remember back in 2022 that's when inflation peaked at 9.1% back then, in one year, home prices exploded about 20% rents surged 15% grocery prices went to orbital and a trip to Costco suddenly felt like financing a small boat. Well, today, things are poised to get even worse. Since the start of the Iran war, we've seen the prices of jet fuel go up 70% sulfur up 60% Brent crude has spiked 52% heating oil is also up 52% since the start of the Iran war. WTI crude oil up 48% urea also up 48% diesel up 45% gasoline up 40% all of these are not obscure commodities that are sitting in a warehouse somewhere. They are the hidden ingredients inside everyday American life. Diesel moves almost everything that you buy. Urea grows the food. Oil becomes plastics, packaging, chemicals and electronics, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, paint, asphalt and 1000s of petroleum based consumer products. I mean, effectively, this massively raises the blood pressure of the entire economy, there is still cargo that's been sitting in or around the Persian Gulf and hasn't been able to transit the Strait of Hormuz for almost three months now. That's per Reuters. Even if a permanent peace agreement were signed today, this doesn't just all magically snap back by next week, it could take more than a year to normalize shipping routes, in inventories, in refining operations and supply chains. And in fact, it is even worse than that if the new Fed chair worsh decides to jack up interest rates. See, even that would do little to fix the supply side problem, because higher rates don't produce oil, they don't reopen shipping lanes, higher rates don't unclog ports. So this is not a time to sit in excessive cash and hope that your purchasing power survives. For a lot of investors, this is the time to accumulate more productive real assets while maintaining some prudent liquidity. You've always got to maintain some the alternative is to start eating losses. When we had two big waves of inflation in the 1970s bonds were mockingly called certificates of confiscation back then, and why? It's because investors earned 5% while inflation hit 15% the people who win in inflationary eras are really three groups, owners of productive real assets, people with pricing power and strategic long term fixed rate borrowers. It is pretty rare that I draw a line in the sand to identify a major inflection point and really encourage others to act. The last time that I did that distinctly was in November of 2021 because that's when mortgage rates were 3.1% inflation was double that at 6.2% and I urged investors to borrow big, and I showed you the evidence of when I stated that in last week's newsletter. I showed you right where that was published, and at that time it sounded aggressive, but today, those borrowers are sitting on yesterday's debt while they're earning today's inflated dollars. I mean, you have profited handsomely from that while there were others that were calling for a real estate price crash back in 2021.   Keith Weinhold  19:44   Gosh, that was the biggest appreciation rate year that we've had in a long, long time. Well, today, it's another inflection point, because you and I may be about to witness the highest inflation of our lifetimes, the prudent move is not paralysis. It is positioning. It means owning more productive real assets and ideally tying them to that long term fixed interest rate debt before the window closes again. So if you've been thinking about investing, repositioning your portfolio or making a plan before inflation accelerates again, you can speak directly to an MBA with real world real estate investing experience. It's a more crucial time than usual to book a free call with a GRE investment coach, which you can do at greinvestmentcoach.com. Windows like this do not stay open forever. It is the right time to act. In my opinion, that's the big message. The war inciting high inflation and hitting the point of no return for that. And I expect those free open slots to fill up fast, book a time again at GRE investment coach.com and plot out a plan. A lot of great shows coming up here on the GRE podcast, including two weeks from now, the number one selling personal finance author of all time, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Author Robert Kiyosaki will be back on the show with us. As for later today, it's interesting to learn about a new market that we have not discussed in depth before, especially when it's a cash flow market. It includes new build single family rentals for $145,000 and now it's really small, but it also includes granite and LVP flooring. That's next.    Keith Weinhold  20:20   I'm Keith Weinhold.

And Richard, you have over a decade of experience working and investing in the Oklahoma market. And then you your wife and your daughter, you move there because it is a rather attractive investment climate. You've been prolific in the industry. You've spoken at hundreds of real estate events, so welcome and tell us more about yourself and really that attraction to Oklahoma.   Richard Advani  24:09   Yeah, it's great to be here and share, you know, more of what I learned as an investor the last 10 years. Yeah, it's been amazing, because when I first invested here, it was more of a diversification play for me, and I didn't expect a lot of growth, but, you know, it had good fundamentals, and boy have I been surprised, because it has grown, and the growth just continues here.   Keith Weinhold  24:30   Now, in a sense, I think about Oklahoma as a potential next place. And what I mean by a next place is that 10 to 20 years ago, Denver and Phoenix were metros that worked well for cash flow and real estate investors, but then prices ran up faster than rents in Denver and Phoenix, and they no longer work for cash flow with a 20% down payment on residential property, Oklahoma feels positioned as a next place where the numbers still work before the price. Prices get run up and this is especially true when we're still in this affordable housing crisis. And Americans kind of look for that next place where the cost of living is still low.   Richard Advani  25:10   Exactly. And if we look back to you said, the fundamental things that made Phoenix and Austin and all these places grow out of the desert was they were affordable and they were business friendly. And the median home price in the US right now is $430,000 roughly, yeah, and the median home price in Oklahoma today, even after all that growth, is a little over half of that. So it's not a new concept to understand why and where that growth here stemming from.   Keith Weinhold  25:37   since 2000 Oklahoma cities, just that city's average annual growth rate is 1.4% that is really solid for a mature interior US Metro now, it's not quite like Austin or Nashville, but you're avoiding those substantially higher Austin and Nashville prices. And for comparison, the nation's annual growth rate since 2000 is eight tenths of 1% to your point about the growth now Oklahoma, I think of it as really like a two major metro state. You've got Oklahoma City in the middle and then somewhat smaller Tulsa in the northeastern part of the state. So talk to us more about that growth.   Richard Advani  26:19   Yeah, definitely. Well, I think, you know, 20 years ago, Oklahoma is really known as an energy state and a military state, and they acknowledge that as a state that they want to reduce that dependence. So there's been a huge amount of programs driven to bring small to medium size and obviously large size businesses in at the moment, we focus primarily on Oklahoma City, but Tulsa, as you mentioned, is an hour and a half away. If you look at a map, it looks really far away, but it's not in Tulsa is really kind of the Austin of Oklahoma. There's a lot of STEM and a lot of robotics and a lot of different things going on there. Stay tuned, though, as we move into latter part of the year, we are going to start expanding our product into Tulsa as well. But I think the big thing Keith is bringing awareness to people that Oklahoma exists. We do a lot of client tours, and we look forward to touring a lot of your clients as well. But people are just blown away when they get here. It's clean, it's nice, it's family friendly. All the suburbs of Oklahoma City, for example, they're just gated communities and good school districts. And what's crazy is you could put 20% down buy a brand new home in a nine out of 10 school district in the Oklahoma City metro, we're in the below $300,000 range, and make a positive you know, you can't do that in any other metro in the US.   Keith Weinhold  27:38   Yeah, that is really attractive. So I think of Oklahoma City is a place that's not very flashy, although they do have that proposal for that giant building that I think a lot of people have read about. You know, it seems like every major city has their big, pointy thing in the middle of town. Oklahoma City might as well they have a skyscraper with a proposal, only a proposal at this stage, which would make it the tallest building in the United States, but outside of something flashy like that, I don't think of Oklahoma as a very flashy place. It doesn't make the headlines as much as a lot of other places do, but those headline making places seem to have the prices run up, and that's not so advantageous for investors. So tell us more about that investor advantage in Oklahoma, including things like the law tilting toward landlords versus tenants, and any other economic drivers.   Richard Advani  28:31   Yeah. So firstly, I'll touch on that point. It's a very, very landlord friendly state, from the month a tenant runs late, you can essentially have them out that same month, as long as a property manager company is doing their job and serving notices. But at the end of the day, if it's a matter of the tenant not paying their rent, and you've provided a household right, your HVAC is working, there's nothing negligible on the landlord side, super easy. It's an open and shut case. Now what we see because of that is, out of 250 properties under management last year, we've never had to do an eviction, because it's a lose, lose for the tenants. And they know that, right? You serve them with the notice, they are out very, very quickly. So yeah, very strong on the landlord side of things, as I mentioned earlier, a lot of growth happening in Oklahoma, like you mentioned that tallest building, in addition to that, you know, the OKC Thunder, are here, and, you know, I think they're a champion. I watched zero sports, but I have read deeply into the economic impact, and I've seen it right. I've had people come to town and we give recommendations on where to stand. They're like, Oh, I've been to Oklahoma two years ago for a thunder game, and I fell in love with the city, and it's very, very underrated. Imagine if you could have got into, you know, Austin or Dallas 10 years, 12 years, 15 years ago. And I hear it very often from people. This reminds them of what those places were like 10 years ago. And that's a great thing to hear, right, that strong fundamental and catalyst for that growth exists. Buying a single family home, as I mentioned in that A plus school district that Windows closing here in Oklahoma as well. You know, I think there's another year, year and a half, before they will pencil and will be like every other large metro in the US. So, you know, I think we're all going to look back and be like, Oh, you got in Oklahoma early. I've been in here 10 years. I think I got in early, but you know, we're still relatively early in terms of, you know, the growth trajectory, that's the head and once again, it's driven by common sense, fundamentals, affordable, business, friendly people get here, establish community, and it's a really nice place to live. I love it here.   Keith Weinhold  30:35   And because now you're a resident. Yes, you know Richard, one phrase I've shared with my audience recently, and I think it's apropos here is people say that they want an opportunity. What they really want is certainty. But as soon as certainty arrives, the opportunity is gone. I really think that's relevant here. So we've been talking about Oklahoma City, and what you do is you rehabilitate or offer new build properties to investors. Oftentimes they're out of state. You place a tenant for them, and then, if the investor so chooses, you also manage it for them. Like you mentioned, you have 250 properties under management in your portfolio. That's what you do, that's who you serve. We've talked about Oklahoma City. Tell us about some of the outlying areas, and why you choose those for investors,   Richard Advani  31:29   That's a great question. And yeah, we primarily focus on new construction, because that's what I believe in for investors as well. What's amazing is, we're kind of a, I don't say supermarket, but we're a mega market because we're in six or seven different cities within Oklahoma, which means for the investors, six or seven different strategies, right? As I mentioned already, we're in the A plus areas at the best schools. We're in commuter towns that are 20 minutes outside of the metro that are really charming. We're in military towns where we have very, very strong economies, very high rent to purchase price ratios, really some of the highest in the country for new construction. And we deliver products, starting brand new single family homes is at 145,000 and at 180 and 220 and, you know, all the way up to 550 and everything in between. So we have a product for every type of investor we have, you know, a home for every type of tenant out there as well, which, you know, makes our tours amazing, too. People leave with their head spinning, but we really have a good amount of selection and strategies within the state.   Keith Weinhold  32:35   145k for a detached single family home is pretty mind blowing to some people. I've seen those. I know the footprint of those is pretty small, but that really gives an idea of what potentially makes you attractive to work with. You have those all the way up to 550k which I think are the new build duplexes, correct mentioned there. So yeah, this is potentially attractive to people. I think a lot of us are really more interested in that ratio between the rent income and the purchase price, that valuable formula. So will you tell us more about   Richard Advani  33:11   That? Yeah, that's something that I think we really excel at, is finding that balance point between durability for the investor, but also kind of where that rent range falls off is. A lot of experienced investors know, as you go higher priced, higher end, the rent starts really falling off there. All of our builds have LVP throughout granite. You know, even that 145,000, our home is so much granite and it would blow your mind, but we're not skipping anything, right? They all have full gutters. All have central heating and air conditioning with that end end goal of making it durable. But, you know, finding that tipping point to where we're not over building for that rent, so we're able to really bring in some high cash flows for what we target, and we specialize in affordable housing. And when I say affordable, don't think cheap. Just think most builders are going to build a product we've been in a boom the last 20 years, right? So if there's 500 people in line to buy a $400,000 home where your profit margins are high, why build a $250,000 home, right? And that is where the housing shortage is, and that is what we've made our nation. Most importantly, that is where we can make cash flow as investors.   Keith Weinhold  34:20   So we're thinking about numbers on our pro forma now, Oklahoma does have tornadoes. I happen to know that tornado paths are geographically narrow. It's been estimated that they've severely damaged less than 1% of Oklahoma homes. But tell us about that, including the insurance coverage is one of our pro forma items.   Richard Advani  34:42   It's a great question, obviously, that comes up a lot. I took a video two weeks ago with tornado sirens blaring, and I'm with my wife and daughter, and mind you, my wife yells at me up until recently to get in the shelter. And we walk out front and I'm recording, and I look to the left, old couple outside looking at the sky. Look to the right, kids in the. Parents looking at the sky, and surprisingly to me, my wife was right there behind me. I'm like, why are you not in the shelter so? Long story short, tornadoes are real, right? I've lived here two and a half years now. I've never met a person affected by a tornado, yet, personally, and as you mentioned, it caused very low damage. There's very rarely fatalities. And most importantly, look, insurance rates are determined by losses suffered by that insurance company. You guys will be blown away at how inexpensive the insurance is, just for that reason, right? But, yeah, tornadoes are real. We're in tornado season now, and people ask, what do people do when the tornadoes are on? And, frankly, walk out and look up at the street, you know, at the sky. It's not like a hurricane, where they come in and mass and destroy a town. You can see the storm cell moving around right when you're looking outside. So damage is low. I've owned real estate in Oklahoma for over a decade. I've never been affected by a tornado, either. But you know, they are a thing, and they're that hot point, just like fires in California. What was earthquakes? But the important thing is, the standard insurance policy covers tornadoes, it covers hail, it covers all of that. And, you know, even on those 300,000 more a plus class properties insurance is like 1500 a year. You know, very inexpensive.   Keith Weinhold  36:15   We're talking about what I've been referring to, potentially as that next place for real estate investors. I was talking about that in house here with Naresh on how Oklahoma really feels like that next place due to some of these characteristics that I've been talking about. And Richard before, I ask you if you have any last thoughts. I have an event to tell you the listener about next Thursday night, May 28 Richard here is CO hosting a live webinar along with our GRE investment coach, Naresh, and you are invited to attend from the comfort of your own home. You'll meet Richard, learn the market, see performers of specific available properties, and you're probably going to learn something about real estate investing that you didn't know before. It's also a format where you can have any of your questions answered in real time. This can be an actionable opportunity for you again. It's Thursday, May 28 at 8pm Eastern. Sign Up it's free, you can register. It's open now at gre webinars.com. You'll meet a real pro, experienced provider there on the ground. Richard here and do you have any last thoughts, including what we can learn and see next Thursday? Richard,   Richard Advani  37:34   Just that you know, if you haven't considered Oklahoma before, take a close look at us, right? There's a lot of amazing things happening. I am boots on the ground. I started as a real estate investor, and that's kind of the foundation for our business. We really encourage tours to come out here. The market sells itself, but it's not needed. Look, we are boots on the ground. I bought dozens of properties myself, sight unseen. Technology makes things amazing for that. But come down. If you guys do have the time, we're going to share a lot more specifics next Thursday on proformas, on exact numbers and specific opportunities. And yeah, excited to share Oklahoma with all of your investors, and to bring these opportunities to you guys and appreciate the opportunity to be here.   Keith Weinhold  38:18   Is there anything that investors find surprising that they did not know about Oklahoma prior to investing there, and prior to learning about it, and before you answer yes, thank goodness that you offer tours. Any good provider should do that, although, in my experience, it's typically only five to 10% of out of state investors that actually take up somebody on the tour. You can never take that personally. That's just what happens industry wide, as we know. But is there any maybe last thing that we should know about the market, Richard, maybe something that an out of state investor is a bit surprised to learn, or that's unique to that particular market?   Richard Advani  38:58   I think the biggest thing that people are surprised about is how nice it is. I've actually had an investor bought six properties and moved to Oklahoma become a good friend of mine. Now, since he lives in Oklahoma, people are just blown away at how clean and nice and family friendly. And we hear quite often that, you know, our investors would live in these homes, so much so we had one actually do that. So yeah, it's very underrated. And I think, as you said very aptly earlier, you know, it's the next market, it could be the next big market,   Keith Weinhold  39:30   potentially that next place. If this sounds interesting to you, be sure to join Richard and our team again. It's Thursday May 28 at 8pm Eastern, and you can register at gre webinars.com. It's been valuable. Richard, it's been great having you here on the show.   Richard Advani  39:46   Thank you.   Keith Weinhold  39:52   Yeah, a rather interesting potential. Next place, if you will, for some perspective in Noelle. Normal traffic conditions from downtown Dallas, it is a three to three and a half hour drive north to Oklahoma City, but that is its own distinct market and city and capital. Oklahoma City affordable and business friendly this century. Really, it's those two drivers, affordable and business friendly, that have been the growth engines for other cities. OKC also has an expanding aerospace and tech presence in major downtown development projects, among other interesting things. At next week's live event, expect to see new build, yes, as low as 145k with LVP flooring and granite throughout, like we touched on there, one investor has even moved into the property themselves. I mean, you can do that if you want to. These are conducive to being good rental properties, but you own the property, you could live there, if you so chose. Yes all the way up to new build duplexes at 565k that generate almost $4,000 in monthly rent, though, these are the types of properties where you might want to pick up one of them, or five of them as investments leveraging the GRE duck and getting position for this likely next inflationary wave from an energy shock. I don't want to steal all the thunder from the event, but expect the provider to offer two years of free property management as well.

Costs are about to skyrocket but it's far worse than just costs. The ability to obtain food, fertilizer and oil are about to collapse in a way never before seen in modern history. They are manufacturing a famine to force people into a ration-based digital ID system complete with social credit. Costs of potatoes alone went from 2.5 Euros to 18.5 Euros per 100kgs in a single month due to fertilizer shortages which farmers have been warning about for quite some time. Sulfuric acid is at a major deficit currently which leads to shortages of fertilizer as well as tools needed for mining and manufacturing across the board. This alone can cause a famine. On top of this however, we were already seeing an attack internationally on farmland as well as 73 year shortages of cattle head. Farm bankruptcies are up 46%. 70% of farmers cannot afford fertilizers. Diesel prices are up 60% in a year. President Trump recently said in an interview with Sean Hannity that high gas prices are the price we pay for Iran not having nuclear weapons. This is insanity. Meanwhile, engine oil is scarce and data centers are being built everywhere to complicate matters more. Water shortages will be a major problem in cities near data centers as people like Mike Adams has warned about on Natural News. This will hurt farms and industry while the data centers collect everyone's information in a massive surveillance database. They're creating a Hive Mind to help "solve" the very shortages they created in the first place. It just so happens that back in July of 2025, the DOE (Department of Energy) warned that we will see a 100x increase in blackout risks by 2030. That year isn't a coincidence. The United Nations planned for this years ago. It also just so happens that government run grocery stores are being established in New York and proposed in California and cities like Chicago. In the UK where they are pushing forward a digital ID mandate, they are attempting to police what foods you buy. This is one of the many steps towards the digital gulag system to come. From banks to energy and food, this system which the WEF has pushed for years is being adopted, quickly. It's up to you to actually take the warning and do something about it or sit there on your hands awaiting you dark fate. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Herzlich willkommen zu Ihrem morgendlichen Newsletter! In Lettland ist die Regierungskrise eskaliert: Ministerpräsidentin Evika Silina hat ihren Rücktritt angekündigt. Auslöser waren der Absturz zweier ukrainischer Drohnen auf lettischem Gebiet und der Streit um die Entlassung des Verteidigungsministers. Präsident Edgars Rinkevics will heute mit den Parteien über die politische Lage beraten. Danach schauen wir nach Peking: Dort setzen US-Präsident Donald Trump und Chinas Staatschef Xi Jinping ihre Gespräche fort. Trump erklärte, China habe Unterstützung bei der Öffnung der Straße von Hormus signalisiert. Außerdem stehen milliardenschwere Wirtschaftsdeals im Raum – darunter mögliche Käufe von Boeing-Flugzeugen und US-Sojabohnen. Schließlich blicken wir auf Deutschlands Norden: Hamburg will trotz strengem Klimakurs bis zu 150 neue Verbrennerbusse ordern. Das soll der Stadt mehr Flexibilität im Krisenfall geben.

Die Energiekrise in Kuba spitzt sich zu. Diesel und Schweröl sind alle, sagt der Energieminister der Insel. Menschen leiden unter stundenlangen Stromausfällen - in Havanna gibt es erste Straßenproteste. Washington bietet humanitäre Hilfe an.

The Fed's Inflation Problem Just Got More Complicated U.S. inflation accelerated sharply in April, with CPI rising 3.8% year-over-year, the highest reading in nearly three years, as the Iran conflict continued to ripple through global energy markets. Core CPI, which excludes food and energy, also rose to 2.8%, up from 2.6% in March, suggesting inflation pressures are beginning to broaden beyond energy alone. The biggest driver was oil. Ongoing disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world's most critical oil shipping routes — pushed crude prices sharply higher over the past two months. Gasoline prices surged again in April and are now up 28.4% compared to a year ago. Diesel, jet fuel, utilities, and transportation costs also moved higher. Analysts estimate energy alone accounted for more than 40% of the monthly CPI increase. Food inflation also remained elevated, rising 3.2% year-over-year. Some categories saw especially sharp increases, including tomatoes (+39.7%) and fresh vegetables (+11.5%). Airline fares were another major outlier, jumping 20.7% from last year as higher fuel costs filtered through the travel industry. The April inflation report complicates the Federal Reserve's outlook. Markets had expected rate cuts later this year, but stronger inflation and resilient consumer spending are now pushing those expectations further out. Treasury yields moved higher immediately after the CPI release as investors repriced the likelihood of rates staying elevated for longer. That said, it's important not to overreact to a single report. In roughly two weeks, investors will get the PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures) report, which is the inflation gauge the Federal Reserve watches most closely. Unlike CPI, PCE captures a broader view of consumer spending and adjusts more dynamically as spending habits change. There are several key differences between the two reports. CPI primarily measures out-of-pocket spending by urban consumers, while PCE also includes rural households and purchases made on behalf of consumers, such as employer-sponsored healthcare and government programs like Medicare and Medicaid. As those costs rise, consumers still feel the impact indirectly. PCE also better reflects substitution effects — meaning it captures when consumers shift from higher-priced goods to lower-cost alternatives during inflationary periods. The weighting differences are significant as well. Housing makes up 44.5% of CPI but only 18.1% of PCE. Meanwhile, healthcare represents just 8.4% of CPI compared to 20.6% of PCE. While the upcoming PCE report will likely also show inflation accelerating, the bigger question is whether this energy shock proves temporary or becomes more persistent. If oil prices remain elevated, energy could continue to be the primary driver behind inflation data for the next several months — and that would make the Fed's path forward significantly more difficult.   The market continues to flash warning signs beneath the surface. The semiconductor sector, as measured by the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index, has only been this extended above its 200-day moving average twice before in modern history: 1995 and early 2000. Those are not random comparisons. In 2000, semiconductors peaked alongside the final stages of the dot-com bubble, marking a generational top in speculative growth stocks. In 1995, the outcome was different but still instructive: semiconductor stocks entered their own bear market even as the broader indexes continued grinding higher. Given that semiconductor stocks are now such a large part of the market, I believe it would be hard for the market to rally if this sector entered a bear market. There was also another warning sign you should be aware of. Last week, the S&P 500 hit another record high while an unusually large number of individual stocks simultaneously registered fresh 52-week lows. Historically, that kind of divergence has rarely occurred outside of major topping periods. As Bespoke Investment Group noted: “Since 1996, the only other period where we saw the S&P at record highs with fewer than 60% of stocks above their 50- and 200-day moving averages was from late 1998 to early 2000.” That matters because healthy bull markets are typically characterized by broad participation. When indexes rise while fewer stocks carry the advance, it often signals deteriorating internal strength masked by mega-cap concentration. Today's market has become increasingly dependent on a handful of AI and semiconductor names to sustain index performance. Valuations across those leadership stocks are being justified by near-perfect expectations: uninterrupted earnings growth, sustained AI capex expansion, and continued multiple expansion despite elevated rates and slowing macro conditions. That combination leaves very little room for disappointment. None of this guarantees an immediate crash. Markets can remain overextended longer than expected, especially during periods of technological enthusiasm and liquidity-driven momentum. But history suggests these types of extremes tend to appear late in cycles, not early. The key issue isn't simply that valuations are expensive. It's that market breadth, positioning, and sentiment are all increasingly disconnected from the underlying participation beneath the indexes. That's usually when risk becomes hardest to see — and most dangerous to ignore.   Consumers Say They're Worried, But They Keep Spending The latest U.S. retail sales report continues to tell a very different story than consumer sentiment surveys. According to the latest Census Bureau retail sales data, overall retail and food service sales remained resilient, with strength in online retail, restaurants, electronics, and discretionary categories. Even after adjusting for slowing momentum from March's surge, spending activity continues to hold up far better than many expected. Compared to last year, sales climbed 4.9% and even if we back out the gasoline stations where sales climbed 20.9%, sales were still up 3.7%. If we exclude another volatile category in motor vehicle & parts dealers it was up 4.9%. This divergence matters. Consumers say they feel pessimistic and sentiment surveys confirm it. The University of Michigan consumer sentiment index recently fell to record lows of 48.2 as households reacted to inflation and higher gas prices. It's important to point out this survey has been around for close to 75 years. Ultimately, I believe behavior is more important than survey as that is what drives the economy. Behavior still shows people are traveling, eating out, and shopping online. Employment and wage growth continue to support consumption and until the labor market weakens materially, I believe that will remain the case. Part of the disconnect is psychological. Consumers are reacting to inflation, geopolitical uncertainty, and higher living costs. But at the same time, household balance sheets, labor markets, and asset prices have remained supportive enough to keep consumption moving. As long as spending continues, the broader economy remains on firmer footing than sentiment surveys alone would imply.   Financial Planning: How are your Rental Properties Performing? Rental properties should be reviewed over time just like an investment portfolio, yet many owners focus on a few attractive details rather than critically evaluating the full picture. Looking only at the rent coming in or calculating “net cash flow” using just the mortgage, property taxes, and insurance can create a very different impression than what is actually happening financially. Maintenance, repairs, vacancies, turnover costs, property management, capital improvements, and recurring “one-time expenses” can significantly reduce actual returns over time. That $1,000 per month of cash flow may sound attractive, but it becomes far less impressive if the property has $1 million of equity that could potentially be invested elsewhere. While many real estate investors benefited from rapid appreciation between 2019 and 2022, property values in many areas have recently remained stagnant, causing overall returns to slow considerably. After fully accounting for the true cost of ownership and the opportunity cost of the equity invested, many rental properties have likely underperformed the stock market in recent years despite continuing to generate rental income.   Companies Discussed: The Walt Disney Company (DIS), Whirlpool Corporation (WHR),  Shake Shack Inc. (SHAK) & Ford Motor Company (F)

What does a zero-emission vehicle really mean? Clean transportation policies promoting sustainability have progressed over the years and have become even more important, both because transportation represents the largest portion of greenhouse gas emissions and because climate change has been accelerating at unprecedented rates. The public is likely more familiar with zero-emission cars, but zero-emission trucks are also becoming an integral part of mitigating climate and other environmental impacts. Transportation-based pollution The transportation industry as a whole has been the biggest source of greenhouse gasses over the time period since the Industrial Revolution. Impacts of emissions associated with transportation include harm to the environment as well as to human health. Trucks and other heavy-duty vehicles constitute six percent of the on-road fleet but produce up to 26 percent of transportation-based greenhouse gas emissions along with a plethora of pollutants that can cause various types of cancer, asthma, and other respiratory challenges. Diesel-fueled trucks and other large vehicles can also cause noise pollution and take an out-sized toll on road infrastructure.  Benefits of Zero-Emission Trucking Zero-emission trucking can help reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and reduce both greenhouse gas emissions and emissions of other pollutants into the environment. By one estimate, US regions could save $735 billion in public health benefits due to cleaner air and result in 1.75 million fewer asthma attacks. The Inflation Reduction Act provides incentives for the manufacturing and purchasing of zero-emission trucks. People who buy zero-emission vehicles, for example, can receive significant tax breaks, subsidies, and even discounts on road tolls. Moreover, it is common for zero-emission trucks to be exempt from vehicle dimensions and weight restrictions Drawbacks of Clean Trucks Although zero-emission trucks–battery electric trucks and hydrogen fuel cell electric trucks–as a whole have a lot of advantages, they still face significant challenges. For example, clean trucks may still be ill-suited for the range demanded of long-haul applications. Even with IRA incentives, clean trucks can be two and a half to three times more expensive than the diesel equivalent, although the cost of fuel and maintenance is likely less. Battery electric trucks can take up to four times longer than their diesel equivalent to charge. And even though hydrogen-operated trucks are more efficient than battery electric trucks, the US currently lacks the necessary hydrogen infrastructure to make them truly feasible.  In addition, hydrogen trucks, when fully charged, have a range that is about 500 miles and battery electric… [about] 180 to 250. By comparison, a diesel truck running a full load can have a range of roughly 1000 to 1200 miles. Because the sustainable alternatives are heavier, they actually would end up carrying less and more trucks would be needed to do the same amount of work as a single diesel-powered truck could, increasing operational costs and decreasing efficiency. Aronin and Zero-Emission Mobility Ruben Aronin is working to pave a path towards zero-emission mobility in the United States (especially California) with his team at Better World Group. They have worked to support multiple policies, including the Advanced Clean Truck Rule which is a significant part of California's zero-emission truck policy. That rule mandates that manufacturers–provided with four years of lead time–increase electric truck vehicle sales every year from 2025. Additionally, it promotes a 100% sales requirement of zero-emission trucks by 2036.  Mr. Aronin believes that the Advanced Clean Truck Rule along with another policy, called the Advanced Clean Fleet Rule, will enable the quickest transitions to zero-emission trucks, particularly in the most pollution-burdened communities. His coalition includes the Teamsters and others to help ensure labor and environmental justice support. He also recognizes that it is often economically difficult or unfeasible for companies and individuals to purchase zero-emission trucks. To this end, tax credits and investments from the federal IRA and IAJ are essential. As the market grows, Mr. Aronin says that the price of the electric truck components and batteries are decreasing at a rapid pace. Who is Ruben Aronin? Ruben Aronin, current principal of The Better World Group, acts to advance clean transportation policies. He joined the BWG in 2012 and currently helps to lead BWG's advanced transportation project work. Aronin has previously created and implemented effective environmental policy initiatives to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy in over a dozen states across the country (including California).  Resources American Lung Association, Delivering Clean Air: Health Benefits of Zero-Emission Trucks McKinsey, Preparing the world for zero-emission trucks FleetOwner, Future of zero-emission trucks: Challenges and promises ahead Further Reading MotorBiscuit, Are Pickup Trucks Really That Bad for the Environment?

11/16: Michael Bernstam predicts a global oil "tipping point" by late May due to the Strait of Hormuz closure. Shortages in refined products like jet fuel and diesel are particularly critical.1690

Gas and diesel prices in Minnesota are nearing record-highs as President Donald Trump threatens Iran with more bombing if it doesn't fully open the Strait of Hormuz and agree to a deal he's put forth to end the war. Fuel prices have skyrocketed since the war on Iran began more than two months ago. John Hausladen, president of the Minnesota Trucking Association, spoke about how these changes are putting truckers in a tough spot.

During the height of Operation Metro Surge, the federal government publicized the arrests of protesters and observers. We learned why prosecutors dismissed the charges in a third of those cases. Diesel gas prices are nearing a record high. We heard how that's impacting Minnesota's trucking industry and your wallet. Plus, urban flocks of turkeys are hard to miss this time of year. We got some answers about the bird from an expert. And dozens of venues across Minneapolis are inviting the public to behind-the-scenes visits for Doors Open Minneapolis this weekend.The Minnesota Music Minute was "The Window” by We are the Willows and “Get Up and Dance” by Sonny Knight and the Lakers was the Song of the Day.

Diesel prices don't look like they will go down anytime soon and we are on the road with Tyne Morgan with our planting tour in Iowa.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What to listen for:“At the end of the day, taking care of our dogs is everyone's job.”Our hosts, Robin Greubel and Stacy Barnett, talk with Joy Brenner of K9 Medic about looking at canine first aid not just from the perspective of flashy trauma response, but that of the quiet, daily work of truly knowing your dog.Joy, who began in human wilderness and tactical medicine, built K9 Medic to teach handlers, medics, and even surgeons pre-hospital care tailored to real field conditions.High-fidelity mannequins like K9 Hero and Diesel train teams on military-identified killers such as tension pneumothorax, but Joy repeatedly returns to the bigger truth: heat, not bullets or dramatic wounds, is the top preventable cause of death for every dog, whether tactical, SAR, sport, or pet.Her Handler 2.0 program trains handlers in “dog speak”: reading baselines, scaling panting, tracking work/rest cycles, and spotting when a dog is no longer compensating.They bust old myths (alcohol pads, ice-pack vasoconstriction fears, over-cooling shock) and stress rapid cooling to skin level while stopping just above normal, so temperature momentum carries the dog safely home.Structured observation prevents emergencies, improves performance, and turns both handlers and medics into better advocates, because taking care of our dogs is everyone's job!
