This Flashback Friday is from episode 277, published last September 11, 2012. Jason Hartman is joined by Dr. Steve Sjuggerrud, editor for Stansberry Research, for a discussion of real estate investing domestic and international, attractive mortgage rates, and government deals that are making real estate a much more attractive investment. Steve talks about what he calls the “Bernanke Asset Bubble,” where the Fed would like to see a booming real estate market and stock market to get the country back on its feet.  Jason and Steve also talk about the demographics of the rental market and comparative returns of the rental market and stocks. Dr. Steve Sjuggerud is the founder and editor of one of the largest financial newsletters in the world, True Wealth.  Since inception in 2001, True Wealth readers have made money every year with safe, contrarian investment ideas. Steve did his PhD dissertation on international currencies, he's traveled to dozens of countries looking at investment ideas, and he's run mutual funds, hedge funds, and investment research departments.

It's harder than it sounds, but Steve continues to be able to do just that for his readers.   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

Buying properties internationally is one of the least explored versions of real estate investing. Still, today's guest explains why it should be on your radar with changing political environments at home and abroad. On today's episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan welcomes Ladislas Maurice. As the founder of The Wandering Investor, Ladislas is dedicated to helping others navigate global investing. He is an international investor and consultant with experience in nearly 100 countries, has lived in twelve of them, and speaks five languages. As Jonathan and Ladislas begin their conversation, Ladislas explains how he was introduced to travel as a kid and why he wanted to implement it into a business model. You'll hear about the lack of real estate data available in emerging markets worldwide, the issues that can arise with money when buying abroad, and how you can mitigate your risk by hiring an attorney specializing in issues with foreign buyers. Ladislas describes his experiences buying in countries like Uzbekistan and Serbia, why he started The Wandering Investor, and how to know which countries are worth investing in. Finally, Ladislas outlines some up-and-coming international markets, why younger generations may look outside the U.S. for real estate opportunities, and the countries on Ladislas's shortlist right now. If you're seeking opportunities outside the norm in the U.S., consider looking abroad, as Ladislas Maurice is putting new locations on your radar.

Thad Wong and Mike Golden, co-founders and co-CEOs of @Properties, bring a wealth of experience from their diverse backgrounds in real estate and consulting. Wong, a seasoned professional with over 25 years in the industry, and Golden, a Boston native with a knack for solving contract-to-closing challenges, both emphasize the importance of workplace culture and relationships in business success.

Similarly, Golden values workplace culture and relationships as key elements for business success, highlighting their efforts to support and connect with their agents during market downturns. Join Bill Risser as he delves deeper into these perspectives with Thad Wong and Mike Golden on this episode of The Real Estate Sessions podcast.Quotes(00:00:35) "And so when you talk about culture and relationships, love that piece of it, that to a lot of people is more important than anything else because not everybody can rely on getting that at home. So if you can get it at the office and you can build strong relationships and you can have that component filled while you're also being inspired and coached to be the best you can be on the field, it's really the best of all worlds." - Thad Wong(00:06:25) "In coming to Chicago, that was really the beginning of my love of basketball. I'd never been a big basketball fan except going to Spartans games with my dad growing up. And so it was really MJ that introduced basketball to me. Now it's my favorite sport to track. And so watching Michael Jordan live at the United center for me was just probably some of my greatest sports memories because there was nothing else. You couldn't go to any stadium, any arena, any field, and have the same feeling you had if you were in a stadium with Michael Jordan on the court." - Thad Wong(00:17:43) "When you have a real culture, you don't have to talk about it. You know, the companies that have robust cultures because they have great retention, they have fabulous growth. You see agents posting and talking about the joys that they experience while being involved in the organization you don't really have to explain to somebody your culture. If you have a culture, it's kind of like a personality." - Thad Wong(00:27:25) "We view kind of end to end, one stop shop solution for everyone, not just the agent." - Mike Golden(00:30:07) "Everything is a relationship. And if you want to have as many relationships as possible, you need to be available 24 hours a day. If you're not available when someone calls you, trust me, you're replaceable and it's less convenient to call you. If you're not going to be there, call text, or email. So 24/7 availability is probably your greatest value. That's free that you can provide when you first get started." - Thad Wong
