This Flashback Friday is from episode 257 published last May 1, 2012. Jason Hartman is joined on this episode by Greg Farrell, author of Crash of the Titans: Greed, Hubris, The Fall of Merrill Lynch, and the Near Collapse of Bank of America, for a discussion of the economic crash and the resulting bailouts, as well as some of the inside dealings with some of the major banks, such as the buyouts by Bank of America. Greg explains how these banks that participated in the buyouts grossly underestimated the depth of problems in their own banks and in those they acquired. Greg relates his research on Merrill Lynch's attempt in the 1980s to become more like Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street banks, which was to their detriment because they lacked the expertise for such business practices, and became involved in and in the middle of many of the scandals of the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. Like CitiGroup, they were in over their head. Jason and Greg discuss Wall Street in general and then specific financial groups regarding the recklessness and risky businesses, funds, etc, that they entertained to give the impression of higher rates of returns. As the plot unfolded, large bonuses to CEOs and high-producing brokers came into play, which encouraged an all or nothing attitude toward the company and fostered a “me” attitude versus long-term stability of the company. Greg also talks about what he calls the “Charlotte Mafia,” the clash of company cultures. Greg Farrell is a correspondent for the Financial Times. In January 2009, he broke the news that Merrill Lynch had paid out its 2008 bonuses a month ahead of schedule, in December, even though Merrill was in the process of losing $28 billion for the year, and Bank of America needed an extra $20 billion in taxpayer funds to complete its acquisition of the firm. That story sparked an investigation by New York attorney general Andrew Cuomo.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Lawrence Yun expects a “rush” of buyers in the housing market as soon as interest rates come down, but mortgage rates recently hit 7%. Alex Barron notes that though home sales are below average, they're not that far below average: he would rate this market a “B+”. They contrast Existing Home Sales with their expectations for the New Home Sales report, with the latter seeing pre-Covid levels of demand.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Jason introduces Home Equity Investments (HEI), a growing industry where companies buy a portion of homeowners' equity, awaiting a future liquidity event like a sale or refinance, without requiring monthly payments. Hartman views this as a significant indicator of institutional investors' bullish outlook on residential real estate, similar to "build-to-rent" trends. He emphasizes that despite market fluctuations, real estate remains a long-term value investment. Hartman is launching his own HEI company and seeks experienced mortgage or HEI professionals to collaborate. Also, join our FREE monthly real estate masterclasses for investors EVERY SECOND WEDNESDAY of the month at  JasonHartman.com/Wednesday . Jason welcomes Michael Gifford of Spilitero.com. They discuss the home equity investment industry, its growth, and the mechanics of Splitero's home equity investment product. They also discuss the geographical presence of their company, the regulatory environment, and the size and growth of the home equity investment industry.

The most powerful change comes from combining financial technology with a genuine desire to help people succeed—especially first-time buyers who often lack guidance and support.Timothy Griggs, CEO and Founder of Kribsavup, knows firsthand how heartbreaking it can be to deliver a mortgage denial to someone whose only mistake was not understanding the process. As Timothy explained in this episode, “They have a vision for their family. They have a good heart, but they have no idea about the steps to take to prepare for homeownership… That just hurts my heart and me wanting to help them prepare for homeownership.”That pain point inspired Timothy to create Kribsavup—a social fintech app designed to help users understand their finances, monitor their credit, and get ready for the mortgage process well before applying. Kribsavup links accounts, provides real-time credit information, and enables users to invite friends and family members to join them on the journey. “You can save together. You can improve your finances together. We're not sharing data. We're very sensitive about that. But the users can actually interact with each other,” Timothy shared.The app also brings in gamification and AI features to make the process less daunting and more engaging. Timothy described how users can compete with an AI character, Stuart, in a race to better credit and stronger finances. This approach aims to make financial health not just accessible but enjoyable, especially for young people and those unfamiliar with the complexities of buying a home.Kribsavup is currently available in app stores, and Timothy is inviting the crowd to participate directly in the company's growth through a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign on Netcapital. “We are seeking to get help by going to our audience and investors to come on board to see our vision and to help us get this out to market, to get Kribsavup out to the market, get it out to the users, get it into our communities to be able to help users to be able to improve the process of home ownership,” Timothy said.By blending technology, community, and a clear mission, Kribsavup stands out as a tool designed not just to help people buy homes, but to transform lives and build a stronger path toward financial wellness. The opportunity to invest alongside the Kribsavup team makes this an especially compelling story for anyone who believes in the power of impact crowdfunding to change the world.tl;dr:Timothy Griggs shares how Kribsavup helps first-time homebuyers prepare for mortgage success.The app offers gamification, real-time credit info, and community support for financial wellness.Kribsavup is raising capital through regulated investment crowdfunding on Netcapital.Timothy's superpower is his faith-driven passion to help others achieve homeownership.Personal stories highlight the impact of encouragement, guidance, and community support in reaching financial goals.How to Develop Faith-Driven Passion As a SuperpowerTimothy's superpower is an unwavering faith and deep passion to help others achieve homeownership and financial security. As Timothy described, “It's my superpower, my faith, my passion to see this get into the hands of people that really need it… It's a passion to be able to help users in our communities to be able to purchase a home.” His drive comes from seeing the dream of homeownership diminish for younger generations and wanting to keep that hope alive, making the process engaging and accessible for all.One story Timothy shared illustrates his superpower in action. A longtime friend who owned a beauty salon wanted to buy a home but didn't realize her business tax filings made her ineligible for a loan. Timothy patiently counseled her, laying out specific steps she would need to take to qualify. She followed his advice, and a year later, Timothy was able to help her secure a home for her family. The reward of seeing her succeed—and knowing he played a part—motivated him to help many others with similar challenges, always providing encouragement and guidance through the process.Timothy's suggestions for developing faith-driven passion as a personal strength include:Encourage others, especially younger generations, to believe homeownership is possibleLead with faith and keep moving forward despite setbacksSeek out people and groups who share your mission to help othersProvide clear, actionable steps for those you mentor or supportCelebrate the successes of those you help to keep your own passion aliveBy following Timothy's example and advice, you can make faith-driven passion a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

... Is a home buying strategy with many advantages At a time when real estate inventory continues to increase home buyers remain very particular in what they are looking for and there is a real fear of the pressure that exists when they only have a limited time to select a home and its the exact reason that many choose to make their purchase before they ever put their home on the market and if you are open minded to doing so you open the door to possibilities that wouldn't exist otherwise imagine for a moment being able to to renovate your new home before you begin to move in new flooring fresh paint new kitchen cabinets and back splash updated bathrooms all could be done relatively quickly you could selectively begin to move in 1 room at a time while the work is being done and your final move in would be into a new home that will need little, if any work done, for the foreseeable future and in the process, your previous home will be empty and clean making it much easier to complete any repairs or touch ups to get the home ready for a profitable sale that will very likely breeze through the inspection process this opens the door to the widest pool of buyers the hidden bonus is that this option relieves most of the stress involved when trying to sell and buy at the same time and removes the need to purchase with home sale contingencies that can cost you money or even worse cause you to miss out on the home that you really want as most sellers are averse to taking a chance that your home sale doesn't close today's show gives your real life scenarios to guide you through the process

This Flashback Friday is from episode 302, published last February 25, 2013. Jason Hartman is joined on this episode by Steve Forbes, the editor in chief of Forbes Media, to propose and attempt to answer the question:  Why does government get bigger and bigger when we know it doesn't work well? Mr. Forbes states that history proves free markets work for the people, while big and over-reaching government is about meeting its own needs. In his book, Freedom Manifesto: Why Free Markets Are Moral and Big Government Isn't, coauthored with Elizabeth Ames, the authors delve into historic events and statistics, showing that in every instance, big government promotes favoritism, stifles economic growth, dumbs down education, and creates an atmosphere of “rigidity and scarcity.” At the same time, it opens the door to corruption. Mr. Forbes discusses the benefits of economic freedom, which promotes creativity and growth. Jason and Mr. Forbes also talk about current economic issues, including the bubbles that the Fed continues to create in the bond market and housing. “When government undermines money, bad things happen,” laments Mr. Forbes. “When government says it's here to help, watch out!”   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com      

Today's episode, Jason sits down for an interview with Vince Rodriguez of RE Social podcast. Jason discusses real estate investment strategies, cautioning against relying solely on appreciation in cyclical markets like California due to unpredictable downturns and low cash flow. He advocates for investing in linear markets offering sustainable, long-term growth and consistent cash flow. Jason's company, Empowered Investor, teaches conservative buy-and-hold strategies for turnkey rental properties in vetted markets, emphasizing remote self-management for increased profitability and control. He highlights the benefits of single-family homes as a proven and simple investment.

Twice this week, we've heard first-home buyers told that they have a rare opportunity to get into the property market. When both the Real Estate Institute and QV released their latest data, it came with a heads-up that it could be first-time buyers' big chance to act. But how much of that is true, and how much is property people talking a big game? Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Lisa Owen.

Today Jason covers a few key real estate investing strategies. He emphasizes the importance of leveraging properties with high loan balances for inflation-induced debt destruction and better insurance claim handling. He advises against paying off mortgages, highlighting tax benefits and the "refi till you die" plan. He introduces the concept of a "perpetual motion machine" in real estate, using cash flow from existing properties to acquire more, similar to a leveraged buyout and the "flywheel" effect. He stresses persistence despite challenges, sharing his early struggles and the long-term benefits of income property investing. Then Jason and Les Rubin discuss the critical issues of entitlements, government size, and the tax code in relation to US economic stability. They explore the potential of converting Social Security to private accounts and the challenges of reforming the current entitlement programs, acknowledging the need for public education and a shift in attitude. Lastly, they sounded the alarm about the dangerous economic path the country is on, warning of the potential collapse of the economy and the future consequences for future generations.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 304 published last Mar 6, 2013. Jason talks with investment counselor, Sara, about investor psychology, overcoming obstacles and getting out of our own way.  The smoke-and-mirrors propaganda perpetuated by mainstream media (lamestream media as Sarah Palin says) in reporting the new high in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA).   They almost always fail to distinguish between nominal dollars and real dollars.  Jason illustrates how investors have actually lost money in inflation adjusted dollars and how the Dow has to increase a lot more before investors break even based on the two peaks.  This lie is even worse when one considers how inflation is underreported in the consumer price index (CPI and CPI-U) due to weighting, substitution and hedonics (the hedonic index).  Another misrepresentation is the 'core rate' or 'core inflation' which strips out food and energy because they're too volatile.   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Ready to make smarter real estate moves? This week, we're helping buyers navigate the market like a pro. First, REALTOR® Lizette Sinhart from Westchester County, New York shares how first-time buyers can prepare to succeed in today's competitive market. Next, Tom Cronkright, co-founder and executive chairman at CertifID, discusses the rise in real estate wire fraud and how scammers use sophisticated tools, including AI, to target buyers. Then, REALTOR® Gabriella Debartoli from Las Vegas, Nevada highlights some of the biggest buyer mistakes, from missteps during showings to what not to do when submitting an offer. Finally, REALTOR® Adam Pretorius from Iowa City, Iowa weighs in on what to know when buying luxury real estate and how to avoid common mistakes at the high end of the market. Plus, home design expert Melissa Dittmann Tracey shares her take on two trends: dopamine décor and compact garages—are they hot or are they not? Whether you're buying your first home or your forever home, this episode will help you sidestep the pitfalls and move forward with confidence.

Jason talks about the current state of the housing market, emphasizing that there is no housing crash due to the low number of financially distressed homeowners. He shared updated statistics from the US Census Bureau, indicating that 39.8% of homeowners have no mortgage, and 65% have mortgages at or below 4%. Jason also highlighted the oversupply in the high-end market and encouraged potential buyers to reach out to his investment counselors for opportunities. Jason then finishes his talk with Vince of RE social as they discuss the advantages of single-family homes, highlighting their accessibility and historical stability. While scaling can seem challenging with multiple mortgages, blanket loans exist. Institutional investors demonstrate the scalability of single-family rentals. Diversification across 3-5 markets is recommended for single-family homes, offering a balance between wealth creation through concentration and preservation via diversification. Viewing tenants as "subscribers" in a sticky business model and leveraging financing and tax benefits further solidify single-family income property as a top asset class. #RealEstateInvesting #SingleFamilyHomes #IncomeProperty #RentalProperty #RealEstateTips #InvestmentStrategy #WealthBuilding #PassiveIncome #REI #RealEstateMarket #Diversification #SubscriptionBusiness #TaxBenefits #1031Exchange #HousingMarket #RealEstateExpert #InvestmentProperties #FinancialFreedom #RealEstateForBeginners #MultifamilyInvesting   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 2:32 Why there is housing crash YET 9:17 Join our FREE MASTERCLASS EVERY 2nd Wednesday of the month JasonHartman.com/Wednesday Jason's interview with Vince Rodriguez of RE Social part 2 10:11 Diversity 12:22 The best subscription model in the world 13:32 Share of income, income property and taxes 17:55 Buy or rent? 20:22 Market dynamics and unemployment insurance 28:53 "Everyone has a right to a home"- and you're renting it out!

This Flashback Friday is from episode 298, published last February 4, 2013. On this show, Jason Hartman talks with one of his investment counselors about current events, welcomes a guest caller and also brings to our listening audience the economic outlook from renowned financial expert, John Mauldin.  Mauldin discusses “spending rearrangement”, a restructuring of our country's spending problem and tax code, and how the election outcome influences the direction of that restructuring. The larger the government becomes, the smaller the private sector becomes – not an ideal situation for economic recovery in the U.S. Mauldin gives his insights and the possible scenarios and outcomes that could happen, depending on whether or not the deficit problem is truly solved, touching on investments, job creation, tax issues and trade deficits. John Mauldin is also a New York Times best-selling author and a pioneering online commentator. Each week, over one million readers turn to Mauldin for his penetrating view on Wall Street, global markets and economic history. Mauldin's weekly e-newsletter, Thoughts from the Frontline, was one of the first publications to provide investors with free, unbiased information and guidance.  Today, it is the most widely distributed investment newsletter in the world. Mauldin is a frequent contributor to publications including The Financial Times and The Daily Reckoning, as well as a regular guest on CNBC, Yahoo Tech Ticker, and Bloomberg TV. His best-selling books include Bull's Eye Investing, Just One Thing and Endgame, as well as his recently released update to Bull's Eye Investing – The Little Book of Bull's Eye Investing.   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

This week on Laricy Live, we sit down with the #1 mortgage lender in Chicago, Ben Cohen, to break down everything you need to know about the current mortgage market. From fluctuating rates to how recent political events affect the market, we discuss how national decisions could shape local real estate moves. Whether you're a buyer, seller, or just curious, this episode is packed with expert insight on what's driving the lender environment and where things might go next.

In this episode, we talk with Alexis Terry, who recently joined the Joe Homebuyer franchise as an experienced flipper in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Alexis shares her story about how she got started in real estate right out of high school, how she got into flipping, lessons she has learned, and why she chose to join the Joe Homebuyer franchise. She also shares experiences about her first Joe Homebuyer annual conference, the experiences she had with onboarding and training, and what she is most excited about as she builds her business.

Is the housing market finally tipping in clear favor of home buyers In a new Redfin analysis, the average home price is nearly $39,000 more than the typical sales price. We speak to Thomas Wright, CEO of Summit Sotheby's International Realty, about how sellers may be pricing too high and the advantage that gives to buyers.

Jason discusses real estate investing, highlighting current market conditions where a slight home sales increase is overshadowed by affordability issues due to higher mortgage rates. He argues that the "in irons" market, characterized by modest price appreciation, benefits rental property owners through steady cash flow and increasing rents due to limited buyer activity. He emphasizes real estate as a multidimensional asset and cautions against non-direct investing, citing risks of fraud, incompetence, and excessive management fees, using a Starbucks CEO's compensation as an example. He promotes direct investment for greater control and wealth building. For today's episode, Jason sits down for an interview with Vince Rodriguez of RE Social podcast. Jason discusses real estate investment strategies, cautioning against relying solely on appreciation in cyclical markets like California due to unpredictable downturns and low cash flow. He advocates for investing in linear markets offering sustainable, long-term growth and consistent cash flow. Jason's company, Empowered Investor, teaches conservative buy-and-hold strategies for turnkey rental properties in vetted markets, emphasizing remote self-management for increased profitability and control. He highlights the benefits of single-family homes as a proven and simple investment.

Chuck Zodda and Paul Lane discuss the old theory that investors can sell in May and go away and why that might not hold anymore. Should Amazon list the cost of tariffs as part of the price? Homebuyer mortgage demand drops further. What are we looking for from Microsoft's earnings? Does it still make sense to wait to claim Social Security? 

Homebuyers jumped at the chance to lock in lower interest rates last month - pushing national pending home sales sharply higher. We'll also look at volatile energy markets and explore the role of charity in a well-rounded financial life - including why involving kids can make a lasting impact.

We explore how homeownership represents both a financial and lifestyle choice, examining what factors should influence your decision beyond just the numbers.We cover the critical lifestyle considerations: How certain are you about where you want to live long-term? Do you value the flexibility to move frequently, or are you ready to put down roots? Are you seeking the community aspect of apartment living, or craving more space and privacy?On the financial side, we break down the true costs of homeownership beyond just the mortgage payment—from down payments and closing costs to property taxes, maintenance, and repairs. We discuss whether putting 20% down is necessary (it's not!), and why talking to a lender early can provide valuable clarity even if you're not ready to buy.This conversation moves beyond the oversimplified "renting is throwing money away" argument to examine the genuine pros and cons of each option.We look at how renting offers predictability and flexibility while homeownership provides potential long-term appreciation and protection from rising housing costs.Whether you're actively house-hunting or just beginning to consider homeownership, this episode offers a balanced perspective to help you make the choice that aligns with both your financial goals and lifestyle preferences.If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review the podcast.

The Homebuyers Hour April 26 2025 by WCPT 820 Weekend

This Flashback Friday was published last June 17, 2020 on YouTube. Pastor Paula White shares what it is like to advise Donald Trump on faith and explains the President's surprising deep faith that she discovered while working with him for 19 years. Paula gives viewers some advice on how to think about what's occurring in our world, and to reckon with these new changes. She says that God doesn't send these difficult times, but that God does allow us to use these times to become stronger and better. Jason points out that while some people are in a decent place, many others are having a difficult time putting food on the table. Paula responds by saying that she survived abuse and grief, and her books discuss how much that God, therapy, and emotional growth led her out of her darkest moments. She explains that she understands the fear and uncertainty, and discusses ways to help get through it. Paula goes more in-depth on her journey through mental health struggles, how she discovered God, and how she copes with fear and pain now as a believer. Paula discusses her job as a spiritual advisor for President Trump, and how she encourages inclusive spirituality. She further discusses fear and how to deal with the fear of COVID-19.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

This Flashback Friday is from episode 312 published last April 10, 2013. Professor Richard Epstein, pioneering Libertarian legal scholar, joins Jason Hartman to explain how income inequality is good for society, but is very dependent on the methods used to produce the best outcome. The current methods our government are attempting to use are causing job losses, it blocks gains in trade, the need for further public assistance increases, which in turn increases taxes, “yet another implicit drain on voluntary transactions,” Richard illustrates. He provides examples to demonstrate the consequences of equality by egalitarian efforts of our government versus voluntary redistribution.  Listen for more details at:  www.JasonHartman.com.    Richard A. Epstein is the inaugural Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at NYU School of Law. He has authored several books, including Design for Liberty: Private Property, Public Administration and the Rule of Law, The Case Against the Employee Free Choice Act, Supreme Neglect: How to Revive the Constitutional Protection of Property Rights, and many more. Richard has written numerous articles on a wide range of legal and interdisciplinary subjects. He has taught courses in administrative law, antitrust law, civil procedure, communications, constitutional law, contracts, corporations, criminal law, employment discrimination law, environmental law, food and drug law, health law and policy, legal history, labor law, property, real estate development and finance, jurisprudence, labor law; land use planning, patents, individual, estate and corporate taxation, Roman Law; torts, and workers' compensation.   He also writes a legal column, the Libertarian, found at http://www.hoover.org/publications/defining-ideas/libertarian-archives, and is a contributor to Ricochet.com and the SCOTUS blog.     Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

They explore the potential of converting Social Security to private accounts and the challenges of reforming the current entitlement programs, acknowledging the need for public education and a shift in attitude.

Jason announced changes to the podcast schedule and discussed economic trends, particularly in the housing market. He emphasized the importance of adapting to market realities and taking calculated risks in real estate investment. He also covered various aspects of the current economic landscape, including inflation's impact on housing, mortgage market stability, and the potential for future market shifts. Despite persistent interest rates and prices, some homebuyers are entering the market due to life events, realizing they "can't pause their life." This signals buyer capitulation and acceptance of current market realities. While sales volume initially dropped, it has rebounded as people adjust expectations. Younger buyers are increasingly looking at more affordable metros. Low loan-to-value ratios (47% average) provide a significant equity cushion, mitigating risks of a housing crash. Rising construction costs and potential labor shortages due to immigration policies may further impact housing prices.
