Somewhere in County Cork, Ireland lives a young man who can see a random image from Google Street view in Russia and often tell you where you are within a few kilometers. His name is Finbarr, and he's one of the phenomena of the GeoGuessr world.  In today's episode of The 5k GeoGuessr podcast I talk with Finbarr about his journey to the 2024 World Cup in Sweden. We also talk about Russia, other countries he's grinding, and which Taylor Swift songs he likes.  Thank you, Finbarr, for coming on the show.  Hope you all enjoy!

Wat leren we toch veel deze week. We leren hoe een heel klein blokje onder je rug een groot verschil kan maken. Hoe orzo al zijn geheimen aan ons prijsgeeft. Dat je met een kater toch enorm je best kan doen. Maar we leren ook dat er ‘s nachts vrij weinig te leren valt. Je verstand staat op stand by, maar de piekerknop blijft aan, als je niet kunt slapen. Zo scroll je dan maar een end weg, zo diep in de nacht. Is dat verstandig? Aaf verliest zich in reizen die ze nooit zal maken en Lies laat ‘s nachts haar mandje staan. We ploegen online voort, langs het uitknijpen van hele bollen gepofte knoflook, langs spi-spa-spulletjes, om uiteindelijk om zes uur ‘s ochtends te eindigen bij Google Street view. Een luisteraar vraagt zich terecht af of de vlag die ze ziet vuurrood is of niet en we sluiten af in de natuur, met een wesp die eenzaam in een knikker woont.

Boy math - the fellas know what it's like.. Ladies - would you be able to date this man-child? The cruise left without her! What did you miss because you where late?

Okay, so I'm smiling so big, because I just got to take a trip down memory lane and not with our guests because I just met him. But I, I didn't grow up traveling. And I really had all these thoughts around travel. I thought that it was expensive and I thought that it was difficult and I thought that it wasn't, that wasn't safe. And, and so I really, I didn't get on a plane till I was 18. And I didn't get a passport till I was in my mid 20s. And I really didn't do a big international trip until I was almost 30. And then the world opened up for me in a different way. And I saw it a different way. And I share that with you because our guest this week is Rolf Potts, and he is the Author of Vagabonding. He has a new book out called the Vagabond's Way. And it is 366 meditations on wunderlust, discovery in the art of travel. And it's a really cool book because you can read it as a daily habit like a, like a virtual book. You can read it back to back if you want. But as I was perusing my birthdate day and Brad's birthday, and these other days, I was, I was just inspired by all the different stories he has to remind you to not escape your life with vacation. And he'll say this in the episode but to escape into who you are. And my love is like being it till you see it is not just about taking action in your work. It's it, it's about becoming more of who you are meant to be. And when you travel, and I say this, from my own experience, and you can find your own words on your own trips. But the more I've traveled, the more people I've met. And the more I've experienced, the more I realize how cool and interesting this whole world is, and how much we have to teach each other, and how much we don't have to fear. I think we can have a lot of fears in our life. And when you get out into the world, and you see how different people are living and you see, a different things have been around for so long. You start to realize like how frickin cool this whole world is, and that you're part of it and you're unique part of it. And so here is an amazing conversation I had with an incredible travel author, Rolf Potts, and I hope it inspires you to plan something, plan anything, and I love his little story about microadventure. So maybe you can make that something that you plan this month. That doesn't really cost anything you'll hear, you'll hear in this episode, thank you so much for being a listener of us. Thank you for your reviews and for sharing this podcast and here is Rolf Potts.All right, Be It listeners. Hey, how are you? I'm really excited because well, our next guest has a total love for travel that I think exceeds mine and Brad's. And I'm really excited to share it with you. And because I really do think that getting out to the world is one of the best ways to learn more about who you are. It just really, really is. And as I read, Rolf Potts is our guest today, Rolf Potts is our guests and his book, The Vvagabond's Way, I think you really are gonna get that inspiration as well. So whether you feel the fear of travel right now, and you're not really going out, or you miss it like crazy, I think this is going to be a really fun conversation. So Rolf Potts, will you tell everyone who you are? And what what you're up to these days?Rolf Potts  Well, I'm a travel writer, and I have been for gosh, about a quarter century. I, like many people didn't travel much during the pandemic. But I got my first big international trip this summer. It was awesome. I went to Paris and Norway with my wife has familyin the Faroe Islands before coming back. So I'm, I'm still slightly excited and tired from a great summer trip.Lesley Logan  Oh my gosh, I'm so jealous. Yeah, I used to travel like eight to 10 countries a year for the last several years before the pandemic and I didn't grow up traveling. So I didn't actually my first big trip was to Brazil in 2012. And then when my husband I went on a honeymoon in 2015, that was my, like, I went to several countries at once. And I was like, "Oh my God, this is the most amazing thing. I've never done this before." And we never stopped. And then obviously, we all did. But what got you into being a travel writer? How does one do that just go one day, "I'm gonna write, I love traveling, I'm gonna write about it." How did you do that?Rolf Potts  If only it were that easy. I actually grew up not traveling much myself, I didn't have a passport until I was 25. Actually, my first big vagabonding trip was earlier than that. I lived in a van for eight months and traveled North America, this is back when you could go to Canada and Mexico without a passport. And then I thought, well, now I'm going to become a travel writer. So I wrote a book, which is a complete failure and complete failures of the best education actually. And then I just kept trying and kept trying, I was out of money. So I moved to South Korea to work as an English as a foreign language teacher, conversation teacher for a couple years. And I just, I just didn't give up. I just kept trying to be a travel writer until I became one. And then my first byline was in my late 20s. And my first book was in my early 30s. And I'm still doing it, even though the the media world has changed. One great thing about being a travel writer is that even if you are not rewarded financially, travel is sort of a reward in itself, you know. And so even if you fail professionally, in an attempt to be a travel writer. Hey, your billy prize is that you have these awesome travels that you can remember for the rest of your life.Lesley Logan  Oh, my God. 1,000% love that. I also thank you for sharing that journey. Because I do think like, when you as someone who's written a book, I'm not like, I'm not when I see a book written. I'm like, a lot of work went into this book. And a lot of people might see this book and go, "Oh, well, he's a travel writer wrote a book, of course, he's just like, it just all works out." And so thank you for sharing that. It didn't, (Lesley laughs) it didn't it took a little bit while. When you, can you first actually just for our listeners who might not know what a vagabond is. Can you just kind of explain that?Rolf Potts  Yeah, well, I Vagabonding is my first book and, and it's sort of what a lot of my readers know me for, it's about taking time off from your normal life, to travel in earnest. It's not just a vacation, but it's maybe taking six weeks, if that's the amount of time you can find or a year or half a year, or six years, whatever you can find to travel and make travel an active part of your life, not an escape from your life, but an escape into your life. And so I've been talking about that vagabonding style of travel for almost 20 years now. And I've written you know, four other books, but people still love to talk about the Vagabond ethos. And in the new book, The Vagabond's Way, I've sort of returned to that. And I've really used a quarter century of, quarter century, 25 years. Yeah ...Lesley Logan  Yeah, that's quarter century. Oh, my God ... When we think about it, you're like, "Oh, my God, that's 25 years." It's a quarter century.Rolf Potts  Yeah, no, 25 years of travel and thinking about travel and reading about traveling, obsessing about travel. And it also encompasses like, 3000 years of other people's travels, to sort of bring this wisdom and inspiration about travel into the new book. And yeah, so so there's, there's a lot of different stations in my journey as a travel writer, but it feels like this really, really aggregates the full breadth of my career so far.Lesley Logan  Yeah. So that's a really interesting way to describe travel as not an escape from your life, but something to like, enhance and be part of your life. And I think a lot of people when they think of vacation, they're like taking a break probably they are or what they do. And, and maybe that's mostly the Western culture, that is the US because I find people in Europe take all of August off. And I remember I worked in jewelry. And if we wanted to get this several designers orders, and we had to tell people you must order before July 15. Because otherwise, they're not going to touch it until late September. Like it's just not going to happen. Right? Or like, when you're dealing with people with any manufacturers in China, it's like you better get stuff on a boat before before New Year, otherwise, it's gonna take till March or April. So, I feel like a lot of people don't know that your travel can just be part of enhancement of, of your life. And what why do you think that is? And like how can people kind of retrain themselves into using their travel to teach them something about themselves by their escape?Rolf Potts  Well, I think they have to be willing to be open and to make mistakes and be messy about it. That's something you can appreciate it. We were talking before we're recording about Cambodia and how the best place to experience Cambodia isn't necessarily that five star hotel that insulates you from the country you've come to visit. It's actually maybe a homestay or just walking down the street until your day becomes more interesting than it was before. And so I think if you take nothing against the commercial travel industry, but if you see travel as a product that you buy, and you surround yourself with nice meals and air conditioning all the time, then it is going to be separate from your life. But you can, instead of escaping from your life escaping into your life is such a way that you really push the boundaries of who you are. And you challenge yourself in interesting ways on the road. And you you sort of integrate like, you integrate your hobbies, you know, like, if you like playing volleyball, well then find a volleyball game in Cambodia, you know, if you like cooking then find a way to cook a dish, and you don't even have to take a formal class, you can, but you can just find the grandma up the street and ask her how she's making her dish or Google Street front restaurant probably might not be used to a lot of Americans taking a curious interest in them. And so ask if you can hang out in the kitchen for a while and see how they do that. And really, the odds are that that's gonna happen, because again, you're not being a consumer of your travel experience. You're taking control of it. And you're following your heart and your interests and your curiosity.Lesley Logan  Oh, yeah. So one way we take messy action, y'all cuz you're like, "How do I do that with like travel? Like, there's things that need to be planned." So when Brad and I decided to go on our honeymoon, he wanted to go to Cambodia. And I was like, that's an interesting place to go on a honeymoon. Where else can we go with that? Because I was like, "I don't what are we doing there? I don't even know." And he was obsessed with this one National Geographic with the first one ever picked up was with the temples. And so we, we picked our flight to Southeast Asia, and then home from Japan, but not the flights in between. (Rolf: Nice.) And then, and then when we flew into Thailand, we picked our flights to the different islands wanted to go to. And we really did try to find the hotels that were more inside the villages or just different than what was like when you look up Google up a, like hotels near me, it's like, where are the ones that are not paying the ads? Like how do we get to like the closest to you? What's going on? And it is so interesting and to talk about cooking. That is a really easy way to go. And when you're in these different countries, like they love that I or I'm one of the only Westerners that comes by and gets the roasted bananas. I'm like, and I speak enough Cambodian to like, get, get the ones I want. And they're so they want to show me how it's done. Because it's very interesting. And I think it changes my life because it makes me realize like, how often do we get to share our gifts and the way that they get to share their as when we're when we're traveling. So I agree with the messy action. There's ways to do it without freaking yourself out. So, you want, I want to get to your book really quick. And then we can bounce around the world with our conversation. But why did you choose it to be a daily read because I really this is very fascinating to me. Of course, I read my birthdate and then I and then I like bounced to Brad's birthday. But I actually use that aggregate earlier. And it really is there's so many great quotes and stories from other people's travels. So how did you go about because that seems like a really big endeavor to find 366 things to write about?Rolf Potts  Yeah, well, I loved aggregating it, because it went beyond my own point of view. You know, I could talk about a guy who travelled in Japan in the 13th century, and he had experienced something very human about travel, or a guy who lived 3000 years ago is in Egypt, or a woman who traveled in an age in Europe when travel wasn't really proper for women. But her insights are relevant to today. Actually, the idea to have it in this format started during the pandemic actually met my wife during the pandemic. I have the weirdest pandemic love story. I was supposed to be traveling the world, she was supposed to be traveling the world, we both been in Kansas, which is where we were from. And we went from zero to let's get married very quickly. But in the mornings, and this is still a habit we have to this day, we sit on the deck outside of our house here in Kansas, and we read to each other. And so we read like Mary Oliver poems, or Thich Nhat Hanh daily readings, you know, the Buddhist teacher. And this became such a part of our habit, a habit and such a part of our joy during the pandemic, that I realized that I had accumulated all of this knowledge about travel, both from travel and from reading about travel that why not just do the similar thing, why not create a book about travel that people can read every day, either with a partner with themselves, or you can skip around or read several chapters at once. But I liked that this as a ritual and I wanted to create a book that was a ritual actually another book we read during the pandemic was Ryan Holiday's Daily Stoic, which literally each page is a different quote by a stoic and a reflection about that quote. And so I decided to do a travel version that would compel people to think deeply in sort of beyond that consumer level of travel for each day of the year. And if you don't, if you want to read it in less than a year, that's fine too. But to sort of create this ritual that even when people are at home, they can think about travel and how it inspires people and how it can change your way of being in the world.Lesley Logan  I mean, like it is, it is really cool. I I know, I know that people listening are they love the daily ritual, they love morning pages, some of them have different things that they they do their gratitude journals, and so I found this like, "Oh my God, this is something else they could do." I wonder you know, I think it's hilarious. You guys met in Kansas that is not at all where I pictured you being from. So (Lesley laughs) but I wonder like, for the person who you know, is gonna pick up this book, maybe they're not used to traveling alone. Or maybe they have fears around it. I mean, obviously, as they read this book, I think that those fears will be quelled, but like, what, what are some ways that people could be a vagabond without necessarily going on it, on a, I mean I want you to go to Cambodia with me, everyone. But what are some that you can do to like start that travel and escape into yourself like, what what would be those 101, 102 level travels that they could do?Rolf Potts  Well, you could throw open your door and walk out the door until your day becomes interesting. I often give that advice in the context of international travel, you know, get away from the itinerary and just walk in this new place and become fascinated by it. This is something you can do at home. And it's funny, I mentioned my my wife during the pandemic, when we couldn't really travel internationally. Like she has cousins in Norway, we couldn't go there. But there's a town on the Kansas prairie here called Little Sweden. So we decided to walk there, it's 22 miles away, it took us seven hours. But it was so fun. I've never, I've never experienced that 22 miles in that way before. I've ... it's always been racing by outside of a car. And so I talked to people and I saw little, little cow herds, and herds of horses that never even noticed before. And so I'm not saying that everybody needs to throw their door open and walk 22 miles, you could walk around the block, or you could go to another neighborhood and try a pub. I quote Alastair Humphreys, he calls these micro adventures, we're basically, instead of sleeping in your bed, you sleep in your backyard, instead of instead of going the same route to work every day you walk to work through a different route. And this is just a way of sort of getting the training wheels in a certain sense for the bicycle that is your long journey. And you just get into this habit of curiosity. And you start to dream about traveling, you start to anticipate further journeys, and you sort of give yourself permission, which in a sense, it's not really about making a ton of money, but it's making enough money to make a journey happen. And so permission is a huge part of it. And it's part of what a lot of those meditations are in The Vagabond's Way. But it's about slowly, even if you can't leave on a big international trip tomorrow. Creating rituals that make that big trip seem more possible.Lesley Logan  I am obsessed with this. This is like 100% being it till you see it like being the vacation and being the escape before you can actually get on the plane and, and you my husband, will listen to this, can we do a recap episode, but he would drive a new route to work every single day all the time, like (Rolf: That's great.) all the time. No, in LA, you pretty much want to do that because there's so much traffic or like, I wonder if this turn is gonna get me. Wunder if I'll find a new route here. But it is a way to get like to see parts of your own city that most people don't even know like. And we moved to Vegas in the pandemic and we didn't actually have a car. And people thought was so weird. Like, how do you live in Vegas with a car I'm like, "Well, you can walk places like it's not ... there's a sidewalks." It's not like LA there's actually sidewalks to walk on but but I found like living in a new city gave me that permission to have these little mini adventures because I didn't know anything. So I'm like, this is an adventure, you know. But we can do that today where we are and you are right. It's the permission part is the hardest part. Because a lot of people think that they have to wait and save up for the big trip. Or that if they're not going to some particular like known place that maybe it's not safe to go or maybe they need to be part of a group. And so doing those little micro adventures where they have to be resourceful, and they get lost, and they have to figure out directions is really a great way of practicing it.Rolf Potts  Yeah. I think oftentimes people think they need to get a big trip out of their system. And I thought this way when I was younger, you know, I thought that I would work hard my whole life and then retire from work. And then I could travel as I thought. But you know, my grandfather was a Kansas farmer. And he'd worked harder than anybody ever knew in my life. He started farming when he was 15. You know, he quit school to start farming at that age. Well, grandma had Alzheimer's by the time he was ready to retire. And I don't know that he dreamed of travel necessarily, but he just wasn't able to enjoy his retirement with a woman he loved in that way that he thought he might have. And so I realized when I was young, that I needed to create this time. And so my first vagabonding trip eight months around North America, I thought I would get travel out of my system. But I really just sort of learned that it's easier and safer and cheaper than I thought it would be. And you don't need to just have one dream trip and then be done with it. So I think that you can start by you're talking about solo versus group travel, you can go on a group trip that's one week long to Croatia, just to get a taste for things and odds are, you're gonna learn that you don't really need that group trip that these restaurants are available to anybody who walks up and asks for food, you know, and that you can actually stay longer you kind of want to stay longer and you can maybe find a way to spend a month or two on the road too. And so baby steps, I'm all for baby steps. (Lesley: Yeah.) I think sometimes we think I'm going to do my dream trip and then I'll have my dream trip. Well you can have a little lot of little micro trips that lead up to a dream trip and they will inform that dream trip that will make it so much more dynamic than you ever would have imagined when you're sitting at home dreaming about it.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I am, so similarly, I don't think I got my passport till I was a little over 25. Because yes, it was somewhere in my early 20s, that you ended up having a passport to leave the states to go into Canada or Mexico. So I had to get one. And I didn't really feel like it was on an international trip until I went to Brazil. Like I don't know why that felt like it's like it doesn't doesn't feel real if I can still drive there. So I flew in and I ended up doing Rio by myself, which was its own adventure. But one thing I did learn, that I didn't know is it doesn't have to be as expensive. And you mentioned that earlier. But like, if you like volleyball, find volleyball, I'm gluten and dairy free. So even just searching for restaurants that could offer those things took me off these beaten paths. And I found other bloggers who had traveled before me, who had said, "Go to this restaurant, they have gluten free stuff." And so I found myself at this art school in Rio, there was no one else that wasn't a local and I got to experience this beautiful place. It was this old mansion, and I went on this hike. And I had was able to hire a guy to walk me up to hike me up to Christ, the Redeemer versus take the tram up to Christ, the Redeemer. And I would never have had that adventure. Had I not like Googled something that was important to me while I traveled and found other people's trips and other people's like journeys and like oh, and it was so much easier than I expected. And, and I didn't realize that you could it didn't have to be the most expensive trip I made a could be something that I could actually afford. And I realized then I was like, "Oh, international travel isn't that hard, it felt hard because I hadn't done it." And then once you do it, you're like, "Oh, I could take, I could stay a little longer." So I have been back to Rio a couple times. And I would love to take Brad but we keep bouncing around to other places. So I had to share that because if you if you do have something specific that you can look up, there's something that you really love, you'll find things that are so unique, and you end up on these interesting corners in these cool places.Rolf Potts  Yeah, little missions are great. Like when I was in Rio, I tried to learn Samba. (Lesley laughs) And I was terrible, like it was I failed as a Samba guy, but sort of that emboldened me to go to clubs with a dance salsa, or Samba and to hire a tutor to teach me Samba. And she invited me to different festivals around town, you know, I sort of it gave me a community, which is really fun. And just those little details, gluten free, whatever if you give yourself a mission or a mystery to solve, then suddenly, you're in that neighborhood that isn't catering to tourists. It's cheaper. People are as interested in you as you are in them. And like every place there's these mysteries like in Rio when I was there, like mannequins in stores are curvier. Like the the beauty, the vision of beauty in Brazil is not sort of this super skinny thing that you see in mannequins in the United States. It's like, yeah, these these are bigger curvier mannequins. And that's cool. And so it's like, if you see a city as a mystery, or if you use a certain desire or interest or even a limitation, to explore the city through that way, you find all sorts of delightful surprises along the way.Lesley Logan  Yeah, but oh, my goodness, it's like, I'll tell you a really funny story. It didn't feel funny at the time but it's it's funny to look back to. So, in Thailand, you know, they have their little motor group of motorcycles and motos are like Vespas, basically, to pictures, everyone, and I would see like three or four people on these with the driver. And Brad and I are like, "Oh, well, we want to ride on one, the two of us," which like, he's six foot, I'm five, nine. Right. So so but we're like, because he has a motorcycle back in LA when we lived in LA. And so I rode on back, like, "Let's do it together." So it was our last day in Bangkok. And we had I love vintage shopping. So we every time we go international, we look for a vintage shop. And then I try to find something unique and amazing. And so we're off the beaten path somewhere random and just finished our vintage shopping, we see a guy on a moto that you could hire. And so we think that we're negotiating two people, one bike, and then both drivers each hand has a helmet and we're like, "Oh, well, I guess we got a really good deal on two people and two bikes, but that's fine." We'll go because we didn't want to disappoint the other person. So we get on the bikes. And we're driving through and my husband's driver goes left and mine goes straight. And I was like, "This is not okay with me. This feels very unsafe. This feels like brokedown palace. Oh my God what's that to happen?" And so your brain is like going these like mile a minute. And we stop at a stoplight and I was like, okay, hold on. If he was kidnapping me probably wouldn't stop at a stoplight. And I am tall enough to put my feet down. And he could just go and I could just be standing here. So if at the next red light Brad is not back, I'm gonna just do that. And so we're we're on this tour. We're just trying to find this one restaurant and I look over this is we have to poach a red light and I see in the glass my husband's moto come up behind me. And I was like, "Okay not being kidnapped today." And I don't say this is like scare anybody but it was just like, it's interesting, the adventures that could happen. And it's more like no one was trying to do anything evil. It's just my brain went there. And it was a hilarious thing, which my husband then pulled his phone out and recorded the entire drive to where we were going. But we, we saw a very unique part of town. And we tried to go on a little mini mission that went terribly wrong, but it's a story that we have. And I, I'm appreciative of it, because, you know, it's not every day that you get to go see parts of Bangkok and experience that life.Rolf Potts  Yeah, no, and you put yourself there's so much not knowing in travel, you know, there's so much like, this money looks like play money. I'm not really sure what's it. The you know, this street car in Bangkok has is serving what I think are grasshoppers, and I'm not sure and I'm going to try. Or, you know, my husband is not there. So where am I going? It really, it compels you to put trust in the kindness of strangers, and it's yields rewards almost all the time that you're just in a place where you're, you're like a kid again, like you're not really sure what's going on. You don't know all the words of the language. But and Thailand is a great example. That's a great starter city in Southeast Asia, you know, (Lesley: Yeah.) more so than Myanmar, Cambodia, just because good roads, it's a friendly place. You know, I just love that as an entryway into Southeast Asia or Asia in general. (Lesley: Yeah.) And it's pretty chill too. You know, there's I'm sure there is crime in the city. But the travelers I talked to felt pretty safe in Thailand ...Lesley Logan  Well 1,000%. Yeah, I mean, like I live, it's really funny what people think about safety because my brain did have that moment. And then it's like, "Wait a minute, this person would not stop at a stoplight if they were trying too" (Rolf: Just a good detail. Yeah.) You know, like, it's just like, really important. But like, also, you know, where you live right now and people who listen to this, listen, live all over the world. But gen general where are you live right now has its own issues of safety. And I used to live across the street from the federal building in Los Angeles. And we moved to Las Vegas, they were trying to put us in like take us to like suburbs. And I was like, "I don't this feels really weird. It feels very clean. This is a this actually feels really uncomfortable for me." Where where we are about out these houses like oh, it's an anon safe area. It's like, well, what does that mean? Because I grew I lived for seven years across the street from people like shooting up and getting drunk. I mean, like, like, what are we talking about? What's unsafe here, like "well some breaking in" and I'm like, that's fine. But I think we we can build up in our head, what safety and unsafety can be. And what you find out is most of these places, they're so excited to actually share their city with you. And as long as you're being a little bit more wise, then you know, you can experience some great places. But I would say yeah, Thailand was very good starter Southeast Asia. Cambodia, Siem Reap is a great place because it is very much about the tourism, but you get out to the countryside, you definitely want to hire someone, I wouldn't personally go by myself yet. I probably will now that I've been there 15 times. But you know, I think I think it's cool to put yourself in that space where you can be curious. And then also challenge yourself to see that well, people are really nice. Like you said, they're really kind. And we tend to not think about that.Rolf Potts  Yeah, I think oftentimes the the negative things that happens to tourists kind of happened in tourist zones. There's people there, the the scam artists congregate in tourists, I'm not knocking to reason there's, there's, there's a reason why, you know, Angkor Wat or whatever, (Lesley: Yeah.) it is a thing. It's amazing there, but, you know, they're used to tourists, and they realize that tourists are sort of have a lot more money than them. And so that's where the scams are, that's where the pickpockets are. And there's ways to defend yourself get against that. But if you sort of wonder like 600 yards off the beaten path, you'll be like, the first outsider they've seen in a long time. And there's there's no economy in you know, those people have no pickpocketing skills, they have no scamming skills. They're just like, this is the most interesting thing that's happened to me this week. Here's this is this pasty American wander around asking me questions about this food, and I'm gonna get grandma and we're going to we're going to teach her how to fix it. Right. (Lesley: Yeah.) And so that is, and actually, you're right, you know that well. And the logic that applies to any city in America applies to cities internationally, don't go to don't get drunk and go to dangerous neighborhoods at bad times of night. Use your common sense and be curious and be friendly and ask questions. And people it's so great. I mean, this holds true from Kansas to us out of the world. If you take an interest in people people will be flattered that you're taking interest in them (Lesley: Yeah.) and they'll share your life with you. It's the kindness of strangers just blows me away again (Lesley: Yeah.) and again.Lesley Logan  Yeah, so there's one one thing we did we do off the beaten path in Siem Reap is there's a pagoda that's way off the beaten path. It's beautiful like you would you would when we pull up it's not that they don't see buses because they come in on buses for the new moon and and the full moons for holidays. But I came in and it was a high holiday for them, and we went to offer the monks food because the monks cannot, for anyone listening to this, no, no, they cannot touch through there has not been offered to them. So food can be there, they can't eat it. So we go and we are trying, no one taught us anything. So Brad is like lifting up a spoon and he's lifting up the ball, like lifting anything. And we're just like, "Okay, I'm like, lifting up the soda, like all the things." But you do this amazing ceremony for them. And then we sat down. And because we were out weighing in the countryside, we were very, we were more interesting to them and they invited us for lunch. And we had this very, very, like normal for that side of town, that side of the country lunch, which is very interesting for us. And it was so cool to share that experience. And you're right, we probably were the talk of the town for a bit. And especially Brad, because he was with like four women in the country side.Rolf Potts  Yeah, I think I think I like that you guys weren't quite sure how the ritual went? Because especially in those areas, you're given forgiveness, you know, people will look at you and it's like, okay, this guy is doing the ceremony wrong. But he's clearly not from here. And I bet he is pretty cool. And so I've had great experiences like that in Myanmar and other on the other side of Thailand from from Cambodia. (Lesley: Yeah.) I've been to festivals, I write about it in the new book in The Vagabond's Way about during rainy season, when I thought everyone was saying, "Don't go to Myanmar that month, you know, it's gonna rain every day." Well, it rained every day. And that meant that there weren't that many tourists there. And that meant that everybody at Vagon, which is their big field of monuments, they were just they took more they had more time for me. Right. And, and that was the cheapest pitcher of beer I've ever had. It was about 40 US cents. (Lesley laughs) It was nice, delicious pitcher of beer. And and yeah, it's funny how you get two travelers in a room together. And one story sparks a story for them. (Lesley: I know ...) So your your Cambodia story reminds me of my Myanmar story. And it was it was delightful.Lesley Logan  We wanted to go there so much. Um, so you, you mentioned that so in the book, you have like you said, you went to Myanmar on the season when some people said not to go. So what are some other tips that you have kind of maybe you shared in the book, but like, what are some things people can think about that are probably off the beaten path. So traveling, maybe not, when it's normal, maybe getting out of the tourist areas, because it probably is a little safer. And there's more interesting things, and people are more interested in you, and you can be interested in them. What else do we have?Rolf Potts  Well, I don't want to knock the beaten path too much, because it's beaten for good reasons I talk about desire trails, like there was this German scholar who's he couldn't figure out why there are all these shortcuts across the college green where he was studying. And so he had the landscaping department resod it and then a couple months later, they come back with their desire trails that those are the those were stewards, students wanted to go, those were the shortcuts. So the beaten path is beaten for a reason. But you don't have to go that far from the beaten path to find something that is more authentically, French, or Thai or Ugandan than what is right in the tourist district. And it's really about giving yourself permission and thinking, well, if I can buy this plate of food for $10, on the tourist trail, I wonder if I can get it for a fraction of that price, like a 10 minutes walk in this direction. And so really just realizing that there's no prescription you can, you can sort of do what you want. You're in a city full of people who live here and who have to buy clothes and have to buy food. And you can go into those non prescribed tourist neighborhoods. And in addition to having more spontaneous experiences with people who have time for you, you also save money, you know, staying in hotels where local people stay rather than staying in the big giant air conditioned complexes. And so really, it goes back to a word I come back to, again is permission, give yourself permission to take that trip, give your permission, yourself permission to take time and give yourself permission to just sort of follow your curiosity instead of your itinerary.Lesley Logan  Yeah, I am. It made me think of like, one of the things that I love about travel is we don't, we don't often we don't actually upgrade our phones to allowing us to take in calls unless we're on Wi Fi, wherever we are. And so what I love (Rolf: Great strategy.) because you can get very present. And you know, now you can download Google Maps on your phone, zoom in really quick and then zoom out and it will stay on whether you're online or offline. It's really easy, but but we I really love it because that walk from my house, even in my own village where I stay, or I have our house. I that walk from my house to where I'm going to go get my coffee that morning. And that coffee shop does have Wi Fi, it's 15 minutes long river no one can get a hold of me, no one can ping me. I can't be distracted. I can't be scrolling. So I only can take in how the city has changed since the last time I was there. And I think like it's so if you can do it, it's so worth doing because even when I was in Australia, which everyone speaking English, it kind of like was a Melbourne it's not actually like a very I mean it's a beautiful city to me. It's new but it wasn't like this unique thing, it looked like New York. Right? But not having any Wi Fi forced me to like look around and get curious in a place where I could make a lot of assumptions. And I find that to be a very cool thing to give yourself permission to do like, just, you'll get on Wi Fi, there's Wi Fi everywhere, you just gotta go pop and ask a question, but it allows you to get stay more present.Rolf Potts  Yeah, getting out of your smartphone habits is huge, because those are habits of home. Like when we're bored at home, we pick up our phone, when we when we, when we're lonely at home, we pick up our phone, but you've paid all this money go to the other side of the world, and you sort of had the same instincts, you're bored for 10 minutes in Melbourne or Cambodia, and you're looking at your phone, really? So that's a great strategy is just not buying the data and not being reachable. And my wife this summer did one step further. We were in Paris, and she decided she was going to use an old school paper map. And so while we had Wi Fi, when we were in the house, we were staying, she she did have to research the restaurants she wanted to go to but then she drew a little a little dot on the map and we used our paper map to find our way around Paris. And we weren't distracted. If we saw something beautiful and took a picture, we couldn't text it to our friends or posted on social media. That paper map forced us into a sort of presence in Paris. That was really delightful. And it's a good it's a good travel hack in a way just like yeah, don't buy the data plan. Don't, don't be reachable. Find a way to cut yourself off because you've paid good money and you've dreamt about this place. Be there. Don't distract yourself with your phone. Don't text somebody else. Don't post on social media. Just take that time in the middle of the day when you're not connected to Wi Fi and commune with the city, commune with the place where you've come so far to be.Lesley Logan  Yeah, oh my gosh, I like I need to get on a plane right now. Somewhere somewhere cool. So your books amazing. I'm I'm am doing the daily parts, because that's why you wrote it. And I kind of like I it's not going to be every day that I can get on a trip. But I do want to give myself permission to dream about them or find mini micro trips. So thank you for writing this and bringing this to us. Is there anything else people should know about this amazing book you wrote?Rolf Potts  Well, just that that it's a daily reading book, but you can use it. You can you can skip around, you can start with your birthday, you can start with Christmas, you can do whatever it's, it's not prescriptive. It's basically 366 ideas about travel and how it can enlarge your life. There's an ethos to the book, but it's not a prescriptive ethos. And so find your own way of being a traveler and pick it up. As I say in the introduction, if after reading a few chapters, you fling it aside because it doesn't fit in your luggage for a trip you've decided you can no longer postpone. Well, then it's done its job, right. (Lesley: Yeah.) Yeah, and so ...Lesley Logan  I love that. You were, and when I read that I was like, "Genius." And I and I love that you gave another permission slip for people to not finish the book before they they hit the road.Rolf Potts  Absolutely not a requirement at all.Lesley Logan  We're gonna take a brief break and find out where people can find you follow you learn more about traveling with you.Alright, Rolf, where do you like to hang out? Where can people buy your book? What's what's going on?Rolf Potts  Well, I'm an old school author, website guy, rolfpotts.com, which I've owned since 1998, is still the best place to find about my work. All of my books, articles. It also links to my social media accounts at @rolfpotts on Instagram or Twitter, although I don't use social media a ton, but it's a good starting place, I guess. And you can ask for it at your favorite bookstore, you can buy it online, but I'm a big fan of independent bookstores. And so call your local store and say, "Do you have this book?" And if not, "Why?" Because I'm curious, and to be inspired about travel.Lesley Logan  Oh, I love that. And I too, I think like small bookstores, thank goodness for them because they keep neighborhoods interesting and curious as well. Okay, so I am jealous that you own your url because mine mine is actually owned but I think a travel writer, (Rolf: Okay.) write my name.Rolf Potts  Well, I have a weird name. Is not many Rolf Potts is in the name ...Lesley Logan  I know, shockingly, Lesley Logan with an E Y has been taken before which I was like, "Oh, I know. I know." Anyways, it's okay. That's why there's .co. Okay, be it till you see it action item. So bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps people can take from this episode, what do you have for us?Rolf Potts  Well, one thing is that that dream trip that you've been thinking about it, it really starts when you decide it's going to happen. Even if you don't have enough money or, you know, the wherewithal for a couple of years that I once you've decided it's going to happen and that you're not going to make any more excuses, then it becomes real. And psychologists say that the pleasure of travel starts in the anticipation phase. And so that's a fun thing. Even when you're working hard maybe you don't even like your job but you're saving money you're saving X number of dollars every week for this trip that you've been dreaming about. The trip is started in a certain way, it becomes real the moment you decided to make it happen. That's that's one of my pieces of advice. And it's it's a very optimistic one because how fun is that that your trip decides once you decided it's going to happen? Right? (Lesley: That's amazing.) Yeah. Tied into this a little bit is the second one which is make plans, research your trip travels, to your tier delight, it's good to be prepared but it's also good to throw out your plans when you're inspired by the place where you've arrived in. I think sometimes we plan our trips too carefully. And it's like, well, I sort of want to do this cooking class, or I want to go to this place that all the travelers are raving about. But my itinerary says, I should go here. So I'll probably go here. No, that's fine. Give yourself permission. Regardless of how detailed your itinerary is, give yourself permission to throw it away, the moment you find inspiration. And oftentimes you find inspiration, five minutes after you walk off the plane and you smell this new place. Right. So find that balance between making plans and then breaking those plans from inspiration. And my third tip, and this applies to everything in travel is just slow down. I know you're gonna have like 50 things that you want to do in a place like Cambodia, or Italy, or Peru, or wherever you go. But don't try to pack them into a small space, let your days breathe, slow down and realize that even having lunch on the other side of the world is a travel experience. Even if it's not on your bucket list this restaurant that you didn't know about until 10 minutes before and it's kind of delicious. Allow yourself to slow down, enjoy that place. And as much as traveling through the place, let that place travel through you a little bit just just sit still and be present in that place. And that's really comes with the permission to let yourself slow down and enjoy yourself.Lesley Logan  I I pictured myself in seven different places, as you were saying all those things. I love them so much. Y'all how are you going to use these BE IT action items in your life? How like, let us know. So you can tag @rolfpotts, you can take the @be_it_pod. Share this with a friend who you wish you could go vagabonding with or or or has had a trip on their mind that they haven't taken action on because you know, it really is an escape into yourself. I love how you put that Rolf, you have an amazing way with words which is why you're a writer. But also this has been a very fun conversation me to picture all the places I've been and the places I want to go.

Hi everyone and welcome to episode 151 of the EPST podcast, I’m your host Larry Snow. The topic of today’s episode is 2 Attacks that have changed the way we work and train. In the first edition, which the ISDA created back in 2014, is a description of the attacks that have changed the way we work and train. In the downloadable eBook, available for ISDA members, we covered the assassination of Aldo Moro, Hans Martin Schleyer, John Butler, and Alfred Herrhausen. 2020 brought us two events that has changed the way we work and conduct training.   https://isdacenter.org/ambush-ebook-2/   Those two events are the: Covid-19 Pandemic and Omar García Harfuch (OGH) Ambush Changes from the Omar García Harfuch (OGH) Ambush The OGH ambush was the 1st vehicle ambush where a forensic analysis and scenario testing could measure the effects of Electronic Stability Control “ESC” and “Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) on the outcome of an ambush.   A significant addition to the forensic analysis and testing came from the available information due to the surveillance cameras in the area of the OGH ambush and the amount of video that was available to the public. The OGH ambush is one of the first vehicle attacks that was videoed as it was happening The other significant contribution was the information and the accuracy that come from the advancements in Google Maps. The combination of the surveillance videos, Google Maps, and Google Street view created an overwhelming amount of accurate data.   A quick explanation of the use of forensic science and engineering principles to determine the cause of a vehicle ambush in the past. The analysis is used to identify the problem that causes an event. We measure maximum speed, the path the vehicle takes, vehicle performance, sight distance, and come up with the cause of the event followed by lessons learned. From the forensic analysis, we developed a hypothesis from which we created data points. Data is collected and analyzed. From the data collected, the Vehicle Dynamics Institute team conducted tests to determine the accuracy of the data - and from that data, we develop lessons learned, operational suggestions and follow it up with training points. While testing the hypothesis of these data points, ISDA and the Vehicle Dynamics Institute team produced information concerning operational procedures – training and personal safety and security that were of significant importance.  We feel we had to share some of the information with the community. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) At one time, when bad things happened, it was all up to the driver to control the executive vehicle. The person holding on to the steering wheel made all the decisions. The driver was the algorithm that determined the outcome of the event. Now computers control executive vehicles, and in an emergency scenario, accident, or vehicle violence, executive vehicles rely on the computer algorithm to control the vehicle.  The OGH Suburban was equipped with ESC – our test indicated that due to the ambush design, the driver could not have moved the vehicle either to the left or to the right. There were buildings and cars on the right, and on the left, there was a curb and trees. If the driver attempted to jump the curb, the ESC and other Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) would have prevented him from doing so. We need to examine the challenges that vehicles equipped with ESC (as most Executive Vehicles have ESC these days) create for protective driver training and security drivers. It should go without saying, but students must be trained in vehicles that are equipped with ESC. When conducting protective driver training, there is a crucial time in the ESC computer algorithm where the computer will take control of the vehicle; this transition is called the switch point and must be monitored and coached by training providers.  Driving exercises and scenarios need to be created; students need to be coached and tested on controlling the switch point. The change of human to a computer must be monitored, coached, and have exercises designed to create the change.  If you purchase protective driver training, we would suggest asking the training provider if they are using training vehicles equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC). If they are not using ESC vehicles in our humble opinion it is negative training. Braking Methodology Our forensic analysis determined that the OGH’s driver had sufficient time to stop the vehicle if the driver used the traditional method of braking an ABS vehicle, which means pressing the brake pedal as hard as possible and let the ABS computer do what it is designed to do – stop the vehicle with the ability for the driver to maintain steering control.   When we use threshold braking with a trained threshold braking driver, it took 70% longer to stop the vehicle.  If OGH’s driver attempted to threshold brake with an ABS-equipped vehicle, our analysis and testing showed the outcome would have been considerably different. Instead of stopping before they got to the truck that was blocking the road, they would have gone under the truck blocking the road.  The following can’t be stressed enough.  As a potential student or purchaser of protective driving training, we suggest you ensure that you or your employee is not attending a program that instructs students to threshold brake with an ABS vehicle.  Reversing  Our forensic analysis indicated that the driver attempted to back out of the Kill Zone. Vehicle Dynamics Institute team found that a two-second delay was caused due to the vehicle’s ADAS Transmission Control Module (TCM) system. If the driver does not follow the proper sequence before reversing, tests indicated that there could be as much as a 2 to 2 1/2 seconds delay before the car moves in reverse. This means that the driver would sit in the kill zone for up to 2 1/2 seconds before having the ability to back out. TCM definition - A transmission control module is an electronic mechanism that collects data and processes signals within your transmission to regulate the transmission’s gear shifting.  Also, once the vehicle does back out, most executive vehicles have reverse control devices that limit the speed that the vehicle can back up.  Recommendations Training providers need to determine if the student’s operational vehicle has a Transmission Control Module. If they do, they need to discuss the effects of the TCM on reversing. Those who train students working in a high-risk environment need to examine the reversing characteristics of the operational vehicles the student will be driving and the environment that they will be driving in. Security drivers need to know the characteristics of the vehicle while driving in reverse. Keep in mind that all new vehicles have speed limiters, preventing the vehicle from reversing quickly.  Runflats The Omar García Harfuch Suburban photo riddled with gunshots and sitting on four flat tires received a substantial amount of social media attention and criticism.  The ISDA and the Vehicle Dynamics Institute team devoted a considerable amount analysis and test time to examine the vehicle dynamic characteristics of an armored B6 Suburban with four flat tires equipped with run-flats and reversing out of the kill zone. To say that the testing was exciting would be an understatement. The complete data will be available in the final forensic report.  Our research in testing indicated that backing up with a vehicle with runflats creates a vehicle characteristic that needs to be addressed and trained. If an operational vehicle is equipped with run-flat tires, training programs need to consider an exercise, specifically a backing up exercise with one or more of the tires flat. We suggest caution when doing so. We found that it does not take much speed or steering wheel angle or steering wheel movement to put the car in an uncontrollable situation. Night Driving We address the issue of night driving and in last week’s podcast episode. If you have not done so, yet we suggest that you listen to the episode by going to https://securitydriver.com/09/episode-150-low-light-driving-conditions/.  --------------------   Changes from COVID – 19 It is ISDA’s opinion that COVID-19 has permanently changed the Secure Transportation profession. The security driver and the provider of secure transportation services will need to change how business is done. Whatever your feelings are concerning the COVID-19 pandemic, you cannot dismiss that the market has been affected by it. In some parts of the globe secure transportation and security driving were shut down and still is shut down.  Things to think about The vehicle itself is now a threat to the safety of the principal.   Those responsible for protecting their principal will need to raise the level of due diligence concerning the principal’s driver and the vehicle they are driving in. Anyone who rents a vehicle or uses a rideshare program needs caution; there are profound health implications. A recent study found that these vehicles are so bacteria-laden that normal driver actions such as rolling down windows, buckling seatbelts, and grasping door handles and steering wheels is a health hazard. We have a link to this article in the notes for this episode. If you know anyone who is renting vehicles, you can tell then they are entering a vehicle that has more germs than a toilet seat – that’s a pleasant thought.  https://www.netquote.com/health-insurance/health-insurance-articles/driving-with-germs There needs to be proof of documentation – when was the vehicle disinfected, what material was used to disinfect, and was the driver recently tested for COVID-19.  Training: If you attended or are sending company personnel to a training program, ensure that the training provider has a COVID-19 Plan. For an example, ISDA Member Joe Autera has an article on tools for training in the COVID age. From VDI – The Tools for Training in the “COVID Age” https://isdacenter.org/from-vdi-the-tools-for-training-in-the-covid-age/ The vehicle’s medical equipment needs to be expanded to include equipment specifically to deal with COVID. Article from ISDA member Carlton Smith COVID-19 and the Executive Protection/Secure Transportation Profession – Carlton D Smith https://isdacenter.org/covid-19-and-the-executive-protection-secure-transportation-profession-carlton-d-smith/ Lastly, we suggest you subscribe to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Newsletter - Behind the Wheel at Work https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/motorvehicle/ncmvs/newsletter/default.html  Additional Material on Secure Transportation and The Risks of COVID-19 https://isdacenter.org/secure-transportation-and-the-risks-of-covid-19/ Our Survey Results.

I’m your host, Keith Weinhold with Episode 265 and I’m answering your listener questions today.    First, let’s get you up-to-speed with our asset Class Whiparound.    The Fed lowered rates last Wednesday by a quarter-point again.   It IS their third quarter-point rate cut this year, bringing the upper bound of the Federal Funds rate down to 1.75%   Just before air time here:   Year-to-date, real estate is up 3.5% per the Freddie Mac Housing Price Index. The Case-Shiller National Home Price Index is at right about that same 3.5% appreciation rate.   Next, the Freddie Mac numbers show us 30-year and 15-year mortgage interest rates are just a touch more than 1% lower than they were one year ago.   Yes, your COST of money is cheaper now than it was either one year ago OR two years ago.   The stock market has been thriving. The S&P 500 Index is up more than 21% YTD. It’s flirting with all-time highs, as its over 3,000 points now.   Oil prices have not done so well, Down 17% year-over-year    Oppositely, Gold has thrived as it’s up 17% just since the beginning of the year.   Last week, the Commerce Department told us that GDP expanded at an annual rate of 1.9% through the 3rd quarter, falling slightly from 2% a quarter earlier.   The rate of dollar inflation is currently 1.7% YOY as measured by the Consumer Price Index, which is tracked and published by the government’s Bureau Of Labor Statistics.   With the way that they calculate inflation, I think it’s a little hard to believe that the true, diminished purchasing power of the dollar is only 1.7% per annum.    I think that makes about as much sense as turning back the clocks back an hour like we all did the other night, personally.   That’s our Asset Class Whiparound like we do here just once in a while.   Let’s start with the first listener question … and I usually start off with a more beginner-type question - like this first one - and advance from there.     This question comes from Jackie in Esko, Minnesota.   Keith, I love your show. I’m 25 years old, just a year out of college with $22,000 in student loan debt, and I just began listening to you three weeks ago.   Now I’m going back to listen from the very beginning, Episode 1.    What is the best way for me to begin if I know absolutely nothing about RE?    Thanks for the question, Jackie.   Well, you’re on the right track with your learning by starting with Episode 1 of the Get Rich Education podcast.    Bigger Pockets has some very well-populated FORUM that’s good for your learning.   I’d also say, work on your credit score WHILE you’re learning about real estate investing. That’s important in a credit-based asset like real estate.   Learn about what it takes to improve your FICO score at myfico.com   Now, for a beginner, yes, it’s probably not the long-term answer that you want.    But it can be helpful to have a W-2 job … at least in the short-term … before you go onto to dominate your own real estate empire.   I mean … I had a day job for years. Not only does this income help you qualify for loans, but let’s look at some ideal day jobs that can help you advance your real estate CAREER at the same time.   Now Jackie, I don’t know what your college degree was in … but if you’re a true devotee to real estate, consider that, even if you have to accept less income ... there are day jobs that can actually align with your path toward being a real estate investor.   You could become a Property Manager for a management company. Now, that is a tough job but you will learn remarkable things about how real estate works from the inside.  Property Management is perhaps the LEAST-RESPECTED job in all of real estate, but it’s perhaps the most important … at the same time and the manager is probably the investor’s #1 team member.  Other day jobs that can help a real estate investor are:  Being an Asset Manager, Financial Analyst, Real Estate Agent (of course), or a Mortgage Loan Officer. With any of those related jobs, you’re going to learn about things like sales, marketing, pricing, maintenance & repair, capital improvements, and bookkeeping. There are other benefits to making your day job … real estate-related.  You’re going to get to know other people in the business - these could be your future collaborators. You’ll get to attend industry tradeshows. And of course, you’ll get substantial education and training.  So, that’s just one course to consider for a beginning real estate investor. If you’ve got to work a day job before you build your empire anyway, it might as well align with what you’re truly MORE interested in long-term … yes, perhaps … even if you need to take a short-term pay hit. It’s just another angle for you to consider, Jackie. If you want one all-encompassing podcast episode that tells a beginner like you as much as you need to know as possible … all in less than one hour - check out GRE Episode 249, published just a few months ago.    That episode is titled, “The Beginner’s Real Estate Investing Audio Guide” and it’s our most popular episode that I’ve done ALL year. Again, it’s Episode 249.    Thanks for the question, Jackie.   The next question comes from Tate in Providence, Rhode Island.   Tate says, “Keith, I notice that today, more providers offer new construction investment property, but it usually doesn’t cash flow like existing properties do.   Is it worth buying new construction for the lower maintenance costs involved?” Thanks, Tate.   Alright Tate, let’s compare the pros & cons of buying Brand New Construction Rental Property vs. Existing Construction.    And, this is a top-of-mind subject for me because I just wrote about this in Get Rich Education’s e-mail newsletter two weeks ago.    What’s better: existing or new construction rental property?   Like with most real estate answers: “It depends.”   But because a “2-word answer” like “It depents” is really dissatisfying, let’s expand on this.    There are at least 8 different criteria for each type.   Before we look at your trade-offs with each type, understand that new construction turnkey property was almost non-existent until recently.   That’s because during the housing crisis of 2007 – 2010, home prices fell far below replacement cost.   Therefore, builders couldn’t make new developments feasible until existing property prices rose in this decade that we’ve had since the Great Recession.   There was also an oversupply of housing back then. Absorption of existing housing took time before new construction made sense again.   And supply has definitely been absorbed.   In SO MANY markets today, the housing that makes the best rentals is undersupplied.   That’s why new construction makes sense again - and why you’ve gradually seen more new construction income property be offered by providers these past few years.   Let’s look at the advantages of both existing and new construction … and these are certainly broad generalizations ...   First, with EXISTING Construction property - we’re talking seasoned properties here:   Lower purchase price.   Better cash flow. This is especially true in the early years. The early dollars are your most important as an investor.   Established property. You’re pretty assured that the foundation won’t settle. You know that the topsoil grows grass.   With EXISTING property, you’re in an established neighborhood. You already know who the neighbors are.   More safety in your investment with existing property. You see, because residents have lived in established neighborhoods longer, they’re more likely to have substantial equity in their property.   Now, why would you care if your neighbors next to your income property hold higher equity positions?   If there’s a recession, this means that residents are less likely to walk away from their home. This hedges against foreclosures and a valuation downdrain - and this domino effect like we saw in the housing crisis 10 years ago.   With EXISTING PROPERTY, you also have lower property taxes. Though there are also plenty of cases where this isn’t true, because an existing property could also mean it’s closer to the city center.   Location. Because you’re often closer to parks and city centers … residents have shorter commute times. This aids in both attracting & retaining your tenant.   Availability. In turnkey investment property, there are more existing structures available than new construction property.   You can keep your timeline. Construction delays are less likely with existing property.   Now that we’ve looked at what tilts in the favor of existing property - and it is a lot … let’s look at the advantages of Brand New Construction property.   New Construction:   You tend to get Better appreciation.   Higher tenant quality. New features attract a larger tenant pool for you to choose from.   Longer duration tenancies. It’s hard for a tenant to find a better situation, unless they leave to become a homeowner.   You tend to have fewer maintenance costs with new construction property.   Modern amenities. Layouts with open floor plans and a higher bathroom count.   With new construction you often have lower property insurance costs.   Better vendor warranties.   Utilities. New homes are more energy efficient, lowering utility bills. However, the tenant often pays this for you, especially in single-family homes and duplexes.   So, there they are - the advantages of existing property vs. new construction rental property.   Of course, this is general guidance.   Based on regional and other factors, you can surely find some “exceptions” to these criteria.   But these trade-offs can help you decide what’s more important to you as a real estate investor.   Excellent question from you there, Tate.   The next question comes from Alex in Lyndhurst, New Jersey.   Alex asks, “What’s the best resource for determining if a property that I want is in an up-and-coming neighborhood?”   “The market is more important than the property - and a thriving metro doesn’t necessarily mean that every property is in the right neighborhood.   Where do you do your own research?”   Well, thanks for the question, Alex.   In short, NeighborhoodScout.com is my favorite paid resource …   … and City-Data is my favorite free resource. It’s spelled “City-hyphen-Data”.com   Now, what makes Neighborhood Scout potentially worth paying for is that they’ve got investor-grade analytics and tools.   Where the free resource, CityData is more for a “general public” user.   But both resources tell you about things like crime rate, per capita income, vacancy rates, and virtually everything else for cities, zip codes, and even subdivisions.   Of course, there are countless other resources in addition to those two.    Be mindful that you aren’t just looking for neighborhoods that are safe, you’re looking for neighborhoods that are IMPROVING and both of these resources have backward-looking data so that you can track trends.   Remember, in income property, you don’t really want to seek out “beautiful” because beautiful often doesn’t correlate with profitable for cash flow.   But, of course, boarded-up, burnt-out buildings aren’t what you want to see either.   So, as you’ll remember, it’s clean, safe, affordable, and functional. Are people out walking their pets at night? That might be a sign of neighborhood safety.   The things that you can see through Google Street view are things like: are the streets relatively clean, are people mowing their lawns.    If the neighborhood - at least looks - respectable … then tenants are likely respecting your property too.   Too many “For Rent” or “For Sale” signs on a block might be bad sign.    Of course, seeing a lot of signals of remodeling or new construction in a neighborhood - is one of the best signs that could possibly see for an improving neighbhorhood.   The problem there - is that you’ve got to get in before a neighborhood is TOO improved. Otherwise, you’re going to be paying more for the property and the numbers won’t work.    So, there you go, Alex - both some hard data resources for research - and softer signals for what might make for an up-and-coming neighborhood and a safe neighborhood.   If you’ve got a question for me, go ahead and write in at info@getricheducation.com   How do you raise the rent without losing your tenant, and then, what happens if there’s a real estate recession?   That’s after this. I’m Keith Weinhold. You’re listening to Get Rich Education.  _________________________   **COMMERCIALS** ___________________________   You’re listening to the show where you don’t follow money, you make money follow you.    This is Get Rich Education. I’m your host Keith Weinhold.   Ben from Osnabrook, Germany asks:   “When it comes to raising the rent on a tenant, isn’t it better to just keep the rent the same & just … not raise it?   Because the cost of losing that tenant with its greater vacancy time is usually more of a loss than if I’m not receiving that potentially higher rent amount each month.”   And then Ben goes into a number of calculations that show his point.   Yeah, thanks for this great question, Ben.   This is the classic landlord’s conundrum.    Do I raise the rent to “market rent” & risk losing the tenant - or do I forgo that greater rent amount and just remain complacent with occupancy at a BELOW-market rent amount? Let’s use an example here. Say you are renting a unit for $1,000. The tenant signs a one year lease for $1,000 … and after a year, when renewal time comes, you give notice that rent will be increasing from $1,000 to $1,040. A couple days later, your resident responds and tells you that they aren’t willing to pay more than $1,000, and if they must, they will go find another place to live. So you risk losing them. Yes, some tenants really will leave over just a $40 a month rent increase. Now you have a dilemma. You think that you CAN rent the unit to someone ELSE for $1,040.  But on the other hand, you realize that it’ll take a month to turnover and re-rent the unit. You’ll also need to see that the carpets are cleaned, the blinds are replaced, and perhaps do some wall texturing and painting.  So RE-renting this unit will cost you something … plus while this work is done & a new tenant would have to be sought … it might be one month of vacancy that you’d endure.  The question you’re now asking yourself is, will it cost me MORE to turn this unit over & EVENTUALLY get $1,040 than it would to keep this tenant’s rent at $1,000 … and just keep them in place - ? Yes, it usually would.  Numbers-wise, short-term, it’s better to just keep that existing tenant in-place and give them their way and keep the rent at $1,000. In this case, a LOST month of rent while you try to find a new tenant then … effectively costs you ... $1,040.  Plus repairs, you might lose $1,600 on the turnover.  On the other hand, NOT raising rents by this $40/month will only cost $480 for the year. Which loss would your rather take — $1,600 by turning the unit over - or $480 by keeping the same tenant there?  You’d rather keep the tenant in there & only lose that $40 a month or $480 a year … rather than the $1,600 for the turnover & month of vacancy. Well, there’s a solution to this classic conundrum - and it won’t work every time, but the best thing that you can probably do - the way that you can have your cake and eat it too - which means both increase the rent and keep your tenant … is to make an improvement to your resident’s unit a month or two BEFORE you raise the rent. For example, if they don’t have a dishwasher, you can add a dishwasher or add a ceiling fan in the master bedroom if they don’t have one. Or make a minor remodel that makes that tenant’s life better - before the notice of rent increase. That makes the tenant more likely to stay because you’ve just improved their quality of life - and you’ve also shown them that you care - and they’re more likely to pay the rent increase. Not only have you then kept the tenant and now receive a greater rent amount, often times, you can get a tax deduction for the repair or improvement - and above that, even if they do decide to vacate, you just improved your unit that you own. So … that’s the best solution to the dilemma, Ben from Germany. Again the short answer is to make an improvement to the unit, optimally a month or two before the rent increase.  Craig from San Diego, California writes, “Keith, you are the first person that ever opened me up to the world of cash flow. I’ve bought two single-family properties from one of your providers about 8 months ago and I’ve had a good experience so far, other than one tenant that paid the rent about 20 days late month.” OK, so far, so f-a-i-r-l-y good there, Craig from San Diego. Craig goes on to ask, “There are a lot of warning signs about a recession and I’m considering putting a freeze on new purchases until I at least have some certainly in this uncertain environment. What are your thoughts about a recession?”  OK, that’s certainly a valid question, Craig.  You bring up “uncertainty”. I’d say that markets are always, just always, uncertain … and prognosticators and forecasters have been calling for a downturn for 3 years, 4 years, including a prominent economist or two right here on this very show. And that’s alright. That’s alright if there’s someone that’s wrong. A prominent economist’s decision is just one point of many that you have to take into consideration …  … whether it’s an inverted yield curve or slowing GDP growth or inflated stock market price-to-earnings ratios that might point to a recession. Well, especially as it relates to real estate - let’s just talk about how a recession might look as it relates to real estate and what the probabilities are of a recession taking place soon.    First of all, a recession is broadly defined as having two or more quarters in a row of contracting Gross Domestic Product - said another way, a declining GDP for at least six months. That’s what a recession is. Let’s relate a recession to real estate - broadly. 10 years ago, we were mired in the worst recession in a few generations.  Real estate was: #1 - Overbuilt & oversupplied. #2 - Real estate was being bought with irresponsible lending practices where borrowers didn’t have the capacity to pay their mortgages if anything went wrong. Everyone was qualifying for a loan. And #3 - Ten years ago in the Great Recession, we saw ridiculously unsustainable appreciation rates. 20%, 40%, 50%, 60% per year in some markets on this speculative appreciation since anyone could qualify for a loan. Today, I don’t think we’re in position for a real estate recession & if we do have one, it would be substantially milder than what we saw 10 years ago. Why is that? Because today, we’re in EXACTLY the opposite condition than we were 10 years ago. Today, we have an UNDERsupply of housing, lending practices ARE responsible, and appreciation rates are sustainable.  I talked at the top of the show that real estate has appreciated nationally at about 3-and-a-half percent. So, we’re in the opposite place that we were 10 years ago for three main reasons: supply, lending responsibility, and sustainable appreciation rates. In fact, if you’re buying for cash flow in good markets - like you should be - the question I’d ask you - uh, Craig from San Diego - is - do you WANT there to be a mild recession? Yeah, if housing values began trending down for a little while, people are discouraged from buying and then there’s more rental demand.    This is what I experienced when I owned property for cash flow, like I did 10 years ago - when rental demand increased - my cash flow increased greater than the rate of inflation.   So, you might WANT there to be a mild recession when you’re a cash flow buyer.    In fact, this - kind of - workforce housing that we talk about buying here - long-term rentals that are just below the median purchase price for an area (but not too far below) - is some of the most recession-resilient housing type that you can find.    Now, other housing types - take the SHORT-term rental market - like AirBnB properties, HomeAway, VRBOs - they aren’t nearly as recession-resistant as these long-term rentals are.   Now, that doesn’t mean that you can’t own a few STRs - but they probably should be the bread-and-butter mainstay of your portfolio like these long-term rentals are.   AirBnB properties cater to two primary types of people - businesspeople and vacationers.   Now, it seems that most AirBnB owners prefer businesspeople to vacationers … because businesspeople tend to be more quiet, they don’t have parties, and businesspeople are more likely to have REPEAT stays than vacationers.   But in a recession, both business travel and vacation travel gets cut. You saw that happen in the Great Recession - and business travel is one of the first places that businesses cut when they had to get lean.   So … this doesn’t always mean that short-term rentals are dreadful. But long-term rentals are what are recession-resistant.   Again, in long-term rentals, you might actually WANT a recession depending on how you’re positioned.    So, thanks for the question there, Craig.   Next week on the show, we’re going to focus on four-plexes - four-unit buildings and what makes them so special.    The week after that, speaking of a recession, the incomparable Economist Richard Duncan is going to join us and tell us about this QE4-type of activity that the Fed has initiated …   … where the Fed is printing all kinds of money and pumping it into the system … and what that means for the economy.   Richard can make complex concepts sound devastatingly simple sometimes.   In fact, when he was here with us, about a year-and-a-half-ago, just listen into part of that, my question and his answer:   Yeah, could anyone else possibly describe the relationship between inflation and interest rates that succinctly … that concisely?    In fact, when he’s back with us soon, I think that Richard will tell you that nearly the entire globe is ALREADY in a substantial economic slowdown.   Well, what’s one way that I’m acting - and this is something that I regularly do whether I think that a recession is on the way or not - is that I just bought two more properties this past week myself.   Yes, they’re these cash-flowing, long-term rentals like we talk about here … eating my own cooking.   When I was almost ready to buy, I qualified for two more single-family income property loans with Ridge Lending Group.   And then to find the 2 new properties, I did just what you do.    I went to GREturnkey.com, downloaded reports on a couple markets that I was interested in, connected with the provider, and decided to buy two properties in the same day.   Really, walking the walk here. So, if you’re looking for cash-flowing income property in investor-advantaged markets - usually in the Midwest and South, you’ve got to act.    That starts at GREturnkey.com   Until next week, when I’ll be back to help you build your wealth, I’m Keith Weinhold.    Don’t Quit Your Daydream!

In Episode 8, Tucker discusses the strategy of building Driving For Dollars lists around your current projects. This is a great way to market to other potential sellers in an area that you already know well and want to do deals in.  Its also a warm lead in to be able to say that you're already in their neighborhood, which automatically puts you in the safe zone.  We use this strategy all the time and it's worked very well for us.  Tucker then explains the Property Preview Feature in the app that allows you to ensure that you dropped a pin on the correct property by being able to view the Google Street view of each property before saving your lists.

Manan and I talk about the much talked about Google Street view mapping program being launched but as soon as it did the Bangalore police sent them a shut down notice. YouTube also launched the Box Office with Band Baja Baaraat seems to be making an aggressive push into publisher content. We also spend sometime talking about 100 glorious years of IBM and wonder which new age company will still be around 100 years from today. We also briefly talk about Aaramshop.com, and NIC website getting hacked.

The Powerhouse Museum has been working towards making its digital initiatives widely accessible and to a broader audience, online and onsite, to enable a connected digital future. With a blossoming of blogging, significant Flickr and Facebook presences the Museum has been developing great connections with a new audience that has led the institution to rethink access with an emphasis on the importance of community connections and participation. This thinking has had an impact on the Museum's Strategic Plan and several digital initiatives are now driving change within the organisation. The Museum has experienced incredible connections, citizen research and innovative digital outcomes such as MOB’s augmented reality mobile app using geo-located historic images from the Tyrrell collection, Paul Hagon’s Google Street view mashup, Digital NZ’s integration of related items from the Museum’s collection and the Powerhouse Museum’s collection download. Releasing data and images under a Creative Commons license has allowed the Museum to make the collection available for use and re-use. Social media initiatives are being adopted and aligned to the right platforms for appropriate audience effectiveness for exhibitions like ‘80s are back’ and ‘Trainspotting’ exhibitions. All these digital projects are allowing the Museum to evaluate, experiment, learn from and progress future initiatives leading to a connected digital future - as well as change the DNA of the Museum itself. Paula Bray is the Manager of the Visual and Digitisation Services department at the Powerhouse Museum that includes: Photography, The Image Resource Centre, The Photo Library and Rights and Permissions and Audio Visuals. Paula is responsible for managing the digital collections to the highest standard whilst coordinating photographic and AV projects for exhibitions, publications, events and the website. Paula runs a blog for the Museum called Photo of the Day and manages the Museum’s two Flickr accounts and numerous public groups. Paula has also worked as a photographer in the Arts for many years including: the Art Gallery of NSW, The State Library of NSW and The Australian National Maritime Museum. Paula has worked as a freelance photographer and had several exhibitions of her work including a solo show at Blender Gallery in 2007. Her work has been collected by the College of Fine Arts and private collectors. Paula studied photography at the College of Fine Arts for 5 years doing a Bachelor of Art and a Master of Art whilst also receiving the Agfa Gevaert award for the most innovative use of photography upon graduating.

James Howard Kunstler sometimes thinks of Baltimore, Maryland as the poster child for how cities are going to contract in this country and around the world as we enter into a new energy era. In many ways, Kunstler says Baltimore is a very damaged city, but there are some parts of it that are quite interesting fun and heartening. During this episode, JHK gives a virtual tour of B'more using Google Street view. Before zooming in, however, he takes a moment to appreciate the geography of the Cheasapeak Bay system and to discuss the history and possible future of shipping in that region.
