Jason details a comprehensive seven-year strategy for building significant wealth through direct investments in single-family rental properties. Jason emphasizes that real estate is a multi-dimensional asset class that generates returns through six distinct channels, including cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits. A central concept highlighted is inflation-induced debt destruction, a process where rising prices effectively reduce the real value of mortgage debt over time. To ensure success, investors are encouraged to use conservative mathematical projections and maintain personal control over their assets rather than joining risky syndications. By utilizing specialized software and professional guidance, individuals can achieve compounded wealth growth that often remains hidden to those who only focus on surface-level metrics. Overall, Jason serves as a roadmap for achieving financial independence by treating income property as a leveraged buyout of a proven asset. Get your FREE https://propertytracker.com/ account today!

Jason and Michael Zuber analyze various economic scenarios based on different life stages and income levels. For young adults starting out, they advocate for prioritizing side businesses and increasing income over immediate real estate purchases. As individuals transition into higher-earning brackets, the focus shifts toward paying off high-interest debt and acquiring rental properties to build long-term wealth. The discussion also highlights the financial benefits of relocation, suggesting that moving to lower-cost regions can significantly improve quality of life and savings. Finally, the experts emphasize that financial education is essential for high-income professionals who often struggle to replace their salaries with passive assets. https://onerentalatatime.com/ Catch Jason at Michael's event!

This Flashback Friday is from episode 623, published last January20, 2016. Is there a safe place to invest your money within the Chinese economy? Jason's guest and author of the new Crouching Tiger book, Dr. Peter Navarro says no. He sees through the beefing up of the Chinese military as a way to distract from the economic failure which is drawing near. China is claiming additional territories and it says it doesn't want conflict with the U.S., but its strained relations with Japan may force the U.S. into defensive mode. Dr. Navarro says he is surprised none of the 2016 U.S. presidential candidates are discussing the issue and stresses foreign policy should be the number one talking point of the future U.S. president.     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

Jason does a commentary on a video by Kevin O'Leary, who warns of a catastrophic housing crisis driven by a severe supply shortage rather than bad loans. The discussion highlights how median home prices have become disconnected from household incomes, largely due to fluctuating interest rates and the rise of institutional investors buying single-family homes. While the situation creates significant barriers for first-time buyers, the speaker argues that it simultaneously presents a massive opportunity for direct income property investors. Using the Hartman Risk Evaluator, the Jason explains that high construction costs make entry-level housing difficult to build, suggesting that the inventory squeeze is unlikely to resolve soon. Ultimately, Jason frames this economic shift as a transition toward a renter society, where those who own physical assets can build wealth through inflation-induced debt destruction.

Jason and Michael Zuber explore the "refi till you die" real estate investment strategy, which focuses on accumulating wealth through long-term asset ownership rather than selling properties for profit. This approach mimics the financial tactics of the ultra-wealthy by utilizing tax-free borrowed money from refinanced equity to fund one's lifestyle. By leveraging residential real estate, investors can benefit from inflation-induced debt destruction while tenants effectively pay down the mortgages over time. The strategy emphasizes that debt is a powerful tool for wealth extraction because loans are not subject to income or capital gains taxes. Additionally, the discussion highlights the long-term benefits of a stepped-up basis, which allows heirs to inherit property with significantly reduced tax liabilities. Ultimately, they argue that consistent leverage and asset retention provide a superior path to financial independence compared to traditional stock market exits. https://onerentalatatime.com/ Catch Jason at Michael's event!

This Flashback Friday is from episode 613 published last Dec 29, 2015. Jason ushers us into this episode by taking us through Julie Malinowski's article "6 Trends Among Landlords and Tips to Outperform the Norm". He also reminds us there are a few tickets left to the upcoming Meet the Masters event and about the upcoming Venture Alliance Mastermind in Dubai. In today's guest interview, Alvin E. Roth has written a book about markets. If you are wondering what type of market, as Mr. Roth tells us himself, it's not important what type of market. It's the market itself. He guides us through the interview discussing chapters of his book, "Who Gets What and Why" with real life examples of the organ donation market, the online matchmaking market and even shares his thoughts on how realtors have survived in our internet-based, do it yourself economy.     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  

In this 10th episode, Jason discusses the significant impact of fraud on the U.S. financial system and expressed concerns about the slow pace of prosecutions, while highlighting positive developments in real estate investment. He introduced a pro forma analysis strategy for property investments and explained new metrics and tools being developed to assess market conditions and inflationary pressures. Jason also covered the implications of the Genius Act on cryptocurrency and the US dollar, promoting upcoming masterclasses and other membership benefits for investors. Jason then interviews Andrew Reichardt, author of "Priorities on Purpose," who shares his personal journey from a challenging background to becoming a successful author and real estate investor. Andrew discusses his book's main principle of focusing on "who" before "why" to help individuals discover their unique strengths and passions, which has led to top employee engagement in his company. The conversation explores Andrew's work on the "Rhino Operating System" and his views on legacy, real estate, and the importance of aligning personal and professional roles with purpose, while also touching on strategies for balancing work and family life.   Key Takeaways: 0:00 If I were the devil 4:10 The United States of Fraud 7:40 Join our monthly masterclass every second Wednesday of each month JasnHartman.com/Wednesday 8:02 The best disinfectant 9:31 Market updates PropertyTracker.com 12:48 A proxy for the US Dollar Andrew Reichardt interview 14:52 Priorities on Purpose 16:42 Adversity 19:01 Convergence- Know the WHO before the WHY 23:40 Executing rhythmically- how and when 27:09 Why real estate https://www.rosjourney.com/ https://www.birgo.com/capital   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

Jason and Michael Zuber explore how artificial intelligence and humanoid robotics are poised to trigger a massive era of global prosperity. They discuss predictions from tech leaders that automation will soon collapse the cost of services, potentially replacing universal basic income with "universal high income" as living standards rise. While they acknowledge significant job displacement, they argue that human nature will always innovate new desires and industries, such as the growing alternative collectible market. They emphasize that as technology creates more disposable income, the demand for physical real estate and rare assets will likely intensify. Ultimately, they view this transition as a final opportunity to build generational wealth before the fundamental nature of money and labor is permanently altered. #GenerationalWealth #ArtificialIntelligence #ElonMusk #HumanoidRobots #TechnoOptimism #UniversalHighIncome #FutureOfEconomy #JobAutomation #RealEstateInvesting #ServiceDeflation #WealthConcentration #SiliconValley #PhysicalScarcity #RareCollectibles #EconomicAlchemy #StandardOfLiving #UniversalBasicIncome #AssetProtection #HumanCondition #AmericanDream   Key Takeaways: 0:00 8 Billion humanoids 12:20 Work still has meaning.

Jason and Michael identify health, mobility, and relationships as three vital assets that hold more value than financial wealth. They emphasize that while money acts as a magnifier of existing habits, it cannot compensate for a body that has been neglected or injured through high-stress lifestyles or extreme physical activities. Drawing parallels to investing strategies, they advocate for consistent, low-risk discipline over "home run" efforts that often lead to physical or financial setbacks. The conversation also explores the value of social networks, suggesting that maintaining a broad range of "weak ties" can provide more practical opportunities than relying solely on a small circle of deep friendships. Ultimately, they conclude that individuals should prioritize their well-being early in life, as recovering one's physical and social vitality becomes significantly more difficult with age.   #MobilityMatters #Relationships #Investing #WealthBuilding #HealthyHabits #PhysicalFitness #Networking #WeakTies #MetcalfesLaw #Mastermind #SuccessMindset #StayMobile #LifeBalance #PersonalGrowth #JasonHartman #WealthAdvice #InjuryPrevention #ActiveLifestyle #HolisticWealth #BeyondMoney #SocialCapital #NetworkEffect #PatienceInInvesting #SlowAndSteady #LongTermWealth #Wellness #HealthyAging #communitybuilding Key Takeaways:   https://onerentalatatime.com/   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

Jason provides an update on the real estate market, emphasizing that property investment remains the primary vehicle for building long-term wealth.

He highlights specific high-growth markets in the Midwest and Sunbelt while addressing the impact of institutional investors on supply. Jason also introduces technological tools and advisory services designed to help individuals navigate these economic trends. Ultimately, Jason serves as a guide for investors to capitalize on a changing financial landscape and achieve independence through real estate. #RealEstateInvesting #CreatingWealth #JasonHartman #HousingMarket #FinancialIndependence #PropertyInvestment #PassiveIncome #EconomicTrends #InterestRates #FederalReserve #MortgageBackedSecurities #TrumpHousingPolicy #InstitutionalInvestors #SingleFamilyHomes #RealEstateTrends #WealthBuilding #MarketAnalysis #HousingAffordability #RentalIncome #CoLiving   Key Takeaways: 0:00 Ai overview: What makes 90% of millionaires 3:12 Trump, the FED and upward pressure on real estate prices 7:54 Core tension in Trump's housing agenda 9:32 Top 25 Metros by Investor Volume 11:30 Housing news that matters 16:57 Cotality: small versus mega investors 19:16 Jpin our FREE Masterclass every seocond Wednesday of the month JasonHartman.com/Wednesday   https://propertytracker.com/     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

We all love winners. We love hearing about the big wins and the perfect track records. It feels good. It feels safe. It instills us with a sense of trust. But I've been in business long enough to know that virtually all individuals who are long-term winners have had profound moments of failure from which they learned invaluable lessons. Those are the people I really want to hear from. They have the kind of knowledge we all need as we navigate through life. It's called wisdom. Surgeons have a saying: “If you've never had a complication, you haven't done enough surgery.” In my surgeon days, I had a handful of complications. Let me tell you—they are no fun. You stay up at night replaying things in your mind, trying to figure out how you could have done things differently—how you could have had a better outcome. Even when unavoidable, those complications teach you something you'll never get from textbooks. It's been no different for me when it comes to business and investing. But I take comfort in knowing that even the greatest investors of all time had their moments of failure and rose from the ashes stronger and wiser. Warren Buffett. Ray Dalio. Every big winner has a story of failure. And while it may be cliché to say that we learn best from mistakes, I truly believe it. The good news is that those mistakes don't have to be our own. Learning from other people's mistakes can be just as effective. This week's episode of the Wealth Formula Podcast is with Russell Gray—a guy many of you already know from his podcasting and radio career. Russ lived through 2008 up close. He took a beating, and he talks openly about what went wrong. But that period also changed the way he sees the world—in a good way. It changed how he thinks about risk, leverage, and what actually matters when things stop going up. That mindset is a big reason he's been successful since then. It's a conversation worth your time.

Welcome everybody. This is Buck Joffrey with the Wealth Formula Podcast coming to you from Montecito, California. Before we begin today, I wanna remind you there’s website associated with this. Podcast called wealthformula.com. It’s where you will go if you would like to, uh, become more, uh, ingrained with the community, including getting on some of our lists such as the Accredit Investor Club. Of course, it is a new year and there are new deal flows coming through. Lots of opportunities that you won’t see anywhere else if you are a, an accredit investor, which means you. Make at least $200,000 per year for the last couple years with a reasonable expectation of doing so in the future. That’s 300,000 if you’re filing jointly or you have a million dollars of net worth outside of your personal residence. If you, uh, meet those criteria, you are an accredited investor. Congratulations. You don’t have to apply for anything, whatever, but you do need to go to wealthformula.com. Sign up for the Accredited Investor Club, get onboarded. And all you do at that point is look at deal flow, and if nothing else, you’ll learn something. So check it out. And who doesn’t want to be part of a club? Now let’s talk, uh, a little bit about today’s show. You know, um, we all love winners, right? We love hearing about big wins, the perfect track record. It feels good. It feels safe, gives us a sense of trust. But the thing is, I’ve been in business long enough to know that virtually all individuals who are, what you would call long-term winners, have had profound moments of failure from which they learned, um, invaluable lessons. So those are the people that I really like to hear from. You know, they have the kind of knowledge we all need that as we navigate through all of life, and it’s called wisdom. Um, surgeons, as you know, I’m an ex surgeon. Have a saying, if you’ve never had a complication, you haven’t done enough surgery. Uh, in my surgery days, I certainly, you know, had a handful of complications just like anyone else who did a lot of surgery. And, and lemme tell you, there, there are no fun, right? So you stay up at night replying things in your mind, trying to figure out how you could have done things differently, how you could have had a better outcome. And sometimes you realize that those mistakes were unavoidable, but. You still learn something from them. And in these cases, you always learn something that you’re not gonna get from the textbooks, just from reading something. And you know what, it’s been no different for me when it comes to business and, and investing, but I, I take comfort in the fact, uh, that even the greatest investors of all time had their moments of failure and arose from the ashes stronger and wiser. All you have to do is look up stories of Warren Buffet and Ray Dalio. And Ray Dalio basically lost everything at one point, uh, because he, you know, he had a macro prediction that went completely south. But listen, uh, the, the point I’m trying to make here is that every big winner, every big winner I know of as a story of failure. And while it may be cliche to say, you know what we learned best from our mistakes, I, I truly believe that. But the good news is that those mistakes don’t have to be our own, right? So you can learn from other people’s mistakes as well, and that can be just as effective. Uh, so this week’s episode of Well, formula Podcast is featuring a guy that you may know. His name is Russell Gray. Russ, uh, has been around a long time, uh, in the podcasting world. And radio. You know, he talks a lot. He’s talked many times to me at least about living through 2008. And you know what that was like, the beating he took and, you know, what went wrong? Uh, you know, it’s, it’s something that he talks about because, you know, he’s a successful guy and that period in time changed. You know, the way he sees the world, the way in which he behaves in that world. How he thinks about things like risk and leverage and you know, what actually matters when things stop going up. Uh, it’s a mindset thing and it’s important. Um, and we also obviously talk about other things as well, such as, uh, Russ’s current take on the economy. Uh, so anyway, it’s a, a good conversation and it’s one that you’re gonna wanna listen to, and we’ll have that for you right after these messages. Wealth formula banking is an ingenious concept powered by whole life insurance, but instead of acting just as a safety net, the strategy supercharges your investments. First, you create a personal financial reservoir that grows at a compounding interest rate much higher than any bank savings account. As your money accumulates, you borrow from your own. Bank to invest in other cash flowing investments. Here’s the key. Even though you’ve borrowed money at a simple interest rate, your insurance company keeps paying. You compound interest on that money even though you’ve borrowed it at result, you make money in two places at the same time. That’s why your investments get supercharged. This isn’t a new technique, it’s a refined strategy used by some of the wealthiest families in history, and it uses century old rock solid insurance companies as its back. Turbo charge your investments. Visit www.wealthformulabanking.com. Again, that’s wealth formula banking.com. Welcome back to Show Everyone. Today my guest on Wealth Formula podcast is Russell Gray. He’s a second generation financial strategist and, uh, you may know him from being a, the former co-host of the Real Estate Guy Radio Show, which is one of the longest running, uh, uh, radio shows of its time, uh, in the United States. He’s, he’s a founder of. Raising Capitalist project, which is an initiative focused on helping aspiring investors and entrepreneurs how to better understand how wealth is actually created and how uh, economic systems really work. Uh, he’s best known for his emphasis on real assets, cash flow, economic cycles, and preserving wealth and what he views as an increasingly fragile financial system. Welcome, Ross. How are you? Good buck, happy to be here. And, uh, proud of your success on your show. I remember way back at the beginning you were like, Hey, I wanna start a podcast. Yeah. Yep. You’ve done a great job. Yeah, it was an idea. I was like, here’s the idea. Start a podcast, build a community, all that kind of stuff. But it’s interesting. Uh, well, and let’s talk about what’s going on now. You’ve spent decades teaching people about, you know, real assets and cash flow. But lately your writings feel more focused on systems and and macro forces. So what’s changed? Has something finally become too big to ignore? Well, I think there’s two things you know personally, uh, most people who have heard of me or followed me know that 2008 wasn’t kind to me. I was in the mortgage business. I was very leveraged into real estate all over the place. Had my businesses for cash flow, had the real estate for equity growth. Believed that real estate was hyper resilient and gonna be the beneficiary of inflation. Didn’t understand the dependency on credit markets in both my business and my portfolio. And so that was a big mess, not doing, uh, a real SWOT analysis and understanding. And the third part of that, that was tough, is that I operated the business primarily on credit lines as well. So I had virtually no cash. And so when the credit markets seized up. Canceled my income, it canceled my credit lines and it evaporated my equity. And now all I had was negative cash flow on debt, on real estate. I couldn’t control. And so I looked at that and I said to myself, you know, I’m a pretty smart guy. I. Pride myself on paying attention. So obviously I’m not paying attention to the right thing. So I became obsessed with the macro, uh, picture and, and the financial system, which, you know, to me it’s, it’s the macro economy is what’s going on with, uh. Geopolitics and the energy and, you know, even policy, uh, that affects, uh, how well money can flow through the system. Both monetary policy from the Federal Reserve and fiscal policy from the government now today in the Trump administration trade policy. And so I began to pay attention to all those things, but from the standpoint of not how it was gonna affect the stock market, but how it was gonna affect the bond market and interest rates and the availability of credit, and how it was gonna affect Main Street. Directly and specifically now in terms of jobs and job creation are real wages. And so when I started really looking at all that, um, I, I, I realized that there were some things happening that were gonna be really good, and there were also some things that we needed to pay attention to. And these things move very slowly. So in 2010. I saw that coming outta the financial crisis, the Chinese were very upset with the United States about how much the Fed Balance sheet was expanding, and they were concerned about their very large investment in US dollar denominated. Bonds, and so they began creating bilateral trade agreements with Russia and many other countries to where they could begin this large process of de Dollarizing. Well, that was the first time I’d seen that movie, because it was the same thing that the Europeans did after they saw the Nixon default. Right? They began working on the Euro, which took ’em from 71, 72 when they started, maybe 74 when they started, but it took ’em till 99 to get it done. But you know, once they got it in place, over time, the Euro, the Euro has taken over 20% of global trade. You know, that’s market share from the US dollar. And so I saw this BrickX thing beginning to form. Uh, and then I saw the other thing on the macro that I thought was gonna be really good was in the jobs act, something you’ve benefited from as a syndicator, we. I wrote that report, new law breaks Wall Street Monopoly. And so, uh, even though I, I can’t tell you I was a big fan of Barack Obama, but he signed that legislation that happened on his watch. And I think it was fantastic because now it allowed Main Street syndicators, main Street Capital raisers to advertise for accredited investors and began to really, uh, level that playing field and open up Main Street, uh, to invest directly in Main Street. And so I met you in the syndication program that we put together with the real estate guys to coach real estate investors on how to become capital raisers to, to capitalize on that trend. So that’s, you know, kind of how I kind of became doing what I’m doing. And then when I decided, uh, just about 20 months ago to depart the real estate guys, I wanted to take some of the things that I originally set out to do when I first met Robert Helms way back in the day. And, you know, as relationships go, you know, he has his interest in the things that he wants to do, and I had my interest in things I came to do. And for a long time we were aligned well enough to continue to work together. But it got to a point where, for me, I, I wanted to go off in a different direction, and part of that was driven. By the, the death of my late wife. Uh, you had me on the show right after that happened to me, and I was going through this like, who am I? Why am I here? What am I supposed to do next? What do I really want to get done before I die? And so all of those things kind of informed my personal decisions to, to make a switch. And then of course, what’s going on in the macro. Um, what I saw with Trump 1.0, what I saw in the Biden administration and those policies, and then what I thought would happen in Trump 2.0. And I did a presentation on this at the best ever conference in March of 2025, right after he’d been inaugurated. And, and so, uh, that, that’s kind of has me where I feel like there’s some real opportunity coming. Uh, there’s also some things we need to be aware of on Main Street. Yeah. So you’re bullish on Main Street in general, but you’ve been pretty cautious about the broader financial system. So, uh, what are the things that you’re worried about? Well, I, I think if you understand the way the financial system works, uh, it has a shelf life and that. It’s because it’s, it’s a system that is, depends upon ever increasing debt. Um, people say, I wanna pay the debt off, but if they, if they really understood the system, at least the way I think I understand it, uh, and I’m not alone in this, so it’s not something I just figured out on my own. But, um, you know. I, I don’t want to sit here and pretend like I’m the world’s foremost expert, but the way I understand the way the system works is that it, it requires ever increasing debt, and if we were to pay the debt off, it would collapse the system. So I think you waste a lot of time and energy and from a policy perspective, trying to argue about doing that. And I think that’s why it’s never, ever, no matter what administration, what politician, what mix of congress, what. Pressure there is everywhere globally. The system, the central banking system, the way it works globally, is designed to create ever increasing debt. So the, the flip side of that then is to let the debt run. And if you let the debt run, at some point you fall into a debt trap where the interest on the outstanding debt consumes all of the available discretionary income. And then you’re borrowing just to service the debt. Yeah, that’s about $1 trillion right now, by the way. Which is. Which is, uh, about the, the, the defense, uh, budget. Well, and I think that the bigger thing is when you look at, at the interest on the debt and mandatory spending, there’s virtually no room left after that. So if you’ve got, you’ve got the mandatory spending and you’ve got, um, debt service, you, you have very little room. So it’s not. Feasible either for two reasons. One is there’s just not enough discretionary room to be able to cut expenses enough to, to ever manage the debt. Number two, as I previously mentioned, if we were ever to effectively try to pay down the debt in any appreciable way, it would crash the the system. So the, the way I look at it is it’s, it’s, it’s got to be replaced. There’s going to be a great reset. I think the World Economic Forum was trying to set that up for the world, and they had an agenda. I’m, I’m not particularly fond of. Um, there’s been talk about creating a central bank digital currency, which I think is what, you know, the Federal Reserve and the, what I all call the wizards, uh, or the powers of B would prefer. Uh, but I think if you care about privacy and, and, you know, individual sovereignty, uh, and, and just personal freedom, um, I have a lot of concerns about a central bank digital currency. Um, I think the popularity of Bitcoin, uh, if it was, you know, and who knows what the. True origins were, but let’s just take it at face value. I think a lot of the people, at least that were the early adopters before it had the big price run up, was just a way to escape, uh, the system before it failed. And so you’ve got that. And then you’ve got, again, as I mentioned, the bricks and this global effort to de dollarize, which was I think really kicked off. After the great financial crisis and the massive expansion of the Fed’s balance sheet. And then I think picked up a little steam when we froze Russian assets and people began to see that the US might use the dollar and the dollar system, uh, for political instead of being neutral. And I think that picked up some steam. And, and so there’s, there’s both a geopolitical drive to. Uh, come up with a new system. There is, I think we’re at the end of a shelf life that some type of a new system is gonna have to be, uh, created. Uh, and, and then you look at what Donald Trump is doing and what he’s espousing. You know, let’s get rid of income taxes. Let’s get back to pulling in, uh, revenue from tariffs the way the country was originally founded. Uh, he’s talked about eliminating the IRS and going with an ERS, an external revenue service. There’s people that think that he might beat. Wanting to try to get back on some form of sound money, you know, coming out of, Hey, let’s audit the Fed, let’s audit the gold. I mean, let’s audit the gold. And, um, so, you know, we, you, you never know what what’s really gonna happen, but, but I think what we have to pay attention to are the signs that the system is beginning to break down. And one of those signs that I pay a lot of attention to is monetary, metals, gold and silver. I make a distinction between precious metals, which would also include platinum and palladium, and of course they’re strategic metals, but I just focus on monetary metals, which would be gold and silver, and gold and silver. We’re telling you that people would prefer to be the, the, the safe ha haven asset is no longer us treasuries, but, um, but, but gold and central banks have been driving a lot of it. This isn’t the retail market driving it yet. It, it’s really central banks have been accumulating. And so those are the ultimate insiders when it comes to currency. And if the insiders in the currency markets are repositioning into gold, uh, I’d, I’d call that a clue. Yeah, absolutely. Um. Yeah. You recently commented on the public criticism, president Donald Trump made toward, uh, uh, Peter Schiff. What stood out to you about that exchange? Maybe give us some background people. Not everybody knows who Peter is and, and, uh. And all that. So, yeah. Well, I mean, as you know, I’ve known Peter for 12 or 13 years and, uh, I had read his father’s work way back in the day. He is a very famous in the tax protestor world as somebody who just believed that income taxes were unconstitutional. And he resisted that and ended up going to jail for, died in jail as a matter of fact. And so that was, uh, I think sad. Um. But, but to me it felt like a little bit of being a political prisoner, but be that as it may, that’s how I got to know Peter. And so Peter is a guy that comes from the Austrian School of Economics and he believes in sound money. He believes in gold. He does not like Bitcoin. I’ve sat on panels the last two years with Peter, uh, in between him and Larry Lepard. And you know, Larry is a, a former gold guy. He’s still not opposed to gold, but he’s a hardcore sound money guy. But he likes Bitcoin. Peter hates Bitcoin and they get into it, and I usually sit in between ’em and try to keep things calm. Well, you know, so Peter ended up going on Fox and Friends, uh, I think on whatever it was, Friday the eighth I think it was, or whatever, whatever day that was. And he, he criticized Donald Trump’s spending. And, um, budget deficits and said that it would lead to inflation, and that’s a hot button for Trump. And so Trump, yeah. Uh, responded to him, uh, I think like four 30 in the morning on Saturday morning and called Peter, uh, a. Jerk and a total loser. Well, actually I saw it before Peter did, and so I took a screenshot and I texted it to him. I said, Hey, have you seen this? You know, maybe I’ll press is good press. And I think to a degree, maybe it has been me from, I understand Peter ended up on Tucker Carlson’s show as a result of that. So, but I made a video right after that because I, you know, there was a time when. I’m friends with Peter Schiff and I’m friends with Robert Kiyosaki. As you know, I, we introduced you to both those guys and, and at one point they didn’t like each other very much. They got into it ’cause, you know, and, and so we introduced ’em to each other and found that they had more in common than they, they didn’t. And I, I think that that would be true. Not that I’m in a position to introduce Peter to, to Donald Trump, but I think the way Peter is looking at it is true. Um, but there’s context and I think the context is super important. Now I’ve been studying Donald Trump as a businessman way before he was a presidential candidate or a politician, you know, before he was a polarizing guy, a pariah for some people. He, he was just this real estate guy. He’s good at marketing, he’s a real estate guy, and as you know. We got to know his longtime attorney, George Ross. And so I’ve had a chance to have conversations about what it was like working with Donald Trump, the real estate guy, and when he became a politician, I asked George, is he a crazy man? Does he shoot from the hip? And you know, I got a lot of reassurances that he is a sober sound. Methodical, self-disciplined guy and, and I think he uses the eroticism to keep people off balance as a negotiating tactic. And he writes about that in the art of the deal. So the context that I think that people need to have, and I’m not here to defend Donald Trump, the man. I’m not here to defend Donald Trump, the politician, but I look at the policies and what I think he’s up to in the context of realizing that we have a system that is fundamentally flawed and has to be remodeled. So to use a real estate, uh, metaphor, it would be like we have a hotel building that is very tired. It’s at the end of its life, it’s got to be remodeled, and so you can’t. Completely shut it down because it’s an operating business, so it’s gotta operate during the remodel. And so you begin to, um, reposition things and. You, you, you’re not gonna run optimally, so you’re gonna run some deficits while you’re doing the remodel. You’re gonna go into debt because you got a lot of CapEx to do, and during that period of time, your debt and deficits are gonna be a problem. But real estate guys look at debt and deficits not as a permanent condition. I think Peter is saying, Hey, you’re just running up debt and deficits. Well, in the short term he is. Honestly, I don’t think Trump is concerned about that. I think he’s focused on getting this remodel done, and part of that remodel was showed up in the last jobs report, right? We lost jobs to a degree, but they were government jobs, and what we got was a lot of gains in private sector jobs. Scott descent, his treasury secretary, has come out and overtly said, we are an administration for Main Street, not for Wall Street. So if you’re going to de financialize this economy and turn it back into a productive economy. You’re going to have to have policies that are gonna stimulate Main Street, and that’s, that’s the, the, the new units that you’ve rehabbed in your hotel that you wanna move people into. At the same time, you gotta move them outta the old units, which is people making money, trading claims on wealth instead of producing real goods and services, which is the financial ice economy. So it’s not about banking, it’s not about stocks, it’s not about Wall Street. You know, you need the stock market to stay up. But really what you need to do is you need to create production. And, and, and I think that’s fundamental. I think he understands we’re never gonna pay the debt off by cutting. We’ve got to keep the system running until we can get to some form of sound money. We’re actually paying the debt off as realistic, and then we have to earn so much money that the debt relative to our earnings shrinks. So it’s not paying down the debt, it’s paying down the percentage of GDP by growing GDP. And the presentation I did at best ever in March of 2025 was me explaining why I thought. His policies, were going to allow him to increase velocity and increase wages by cutting taxes, interest regulation, transportation costs, and, and again, that was six weeks into administration. That was theory. I’m gonna do a follow up in March of this year to say, okay, looking back when I gave the speech a year ago, what’s transpired, but I can already tell you a lot of the stuff that I thought he would do. He’s done. And I think that’s muting some of the inflation that his spending and deficits to Peter’s point are causing. And that’s why when this last CPI report came out, it wasn’t as ugly as everybody thought it would be. And, and this is when you don’t look at, when you look at it in the mono, you just look at one thing and Peter’s very fixated on this quantity of money theory. Then the expectation is that you print a bunch of money, you run a bunch of deficits, you’re gonna get inflation. And it’s just a. Equals B or A leads to B. But there are other nuances and I think Trump is looking at more like a real estate developer, which makes sense. ’cause that’s his background. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. It’s, I mean, and then the other just point to, to make there is that there is probably, um, now inflation’s a tricky thing, right? Like on the one hand you don’t want this riding up, but on the other hand, it actually helps with that debt. You’re, you’re basically eroding the debt by letting inflation ride a little bit higher at the same time. And I think the Trump administration knows that it’s a tricky thing to balance, but the goal is to, you know, get GDP pumping at, you know, four or 5%, but it’s gotta be real production buck. And that’s the difference, right? The old way of dealing with the debt was inflation. And, and I think people think that he’s using the old formula, but I don’t think he is. Well, I think it’s, I think, I think it’s definitely geared towards increasing real GDP, but I think in the process there’s probably, they probably care less a little bit. Of inflation riding up a little bit in the meantime. ’cause you’re still gonna have, I think he thinks he can mute it. I think he can mute it with lower taxes, lower interest expense, lower energy costs. And the energy is the economy. And from day one, that was the first policy. He’s, he’s aggressively gone after lowering energy costs because that has a, a, a ripple through, it just affects every area of the economy. And then the regulations in, in the last cabinet meeting. It was reported, the way I understood it, that for every regulation his administration passes, they’ve eliminated 48. So it’s actually, he’s removing the friction. And I think the bigger thing is, and I, and I was on a panel at Limitless, uh, this last summer, and TaRL, Yarborough was moderating the panel, asked the panelists what we were looking at that maybe other people weren’t looking at that. Um. You know, is, is a signal about maybe the direction it was. We, I, I can’t remember. This was a prediction panel and what I said was trade policy because everybody in finance spends all their time looking at the flow of money and trying to get in front of the flow of money. And we’re so used to the money coming from the Fed or coming from the treasury. So they’re gonna come from monetary policy or fiscal policy. And that’s what Peter’s doing. He’s looking at the Fed and he is looking at the treasury. And so what I’m looking at is not just the tariff income, which is relatively minor, but I’m looking at the trade deals, and those are published at the White House and there’s a couple trillion dollars of money that’s FDI, foreign Direct Investments coming right into Main Street. And it’s gonna build infrastructure. It’s gonna build factories. It’s good. And they tell you where it’s gonna be because they, they came back with the opportunity zones, which I thought they would do. Makes sense. It’s the way he thinks. And then taking those opportunity zones, the governors can say where in their state they want that money to go. Well, people on Wall Street don’t think geography ’cause they operate in a commodity world that trades on global exchanges. But real estate people. Geography matters a lot. So if I’m a Main Street person, I live on Main Street and I’m looking for Main Street opportunities, I wanna look where that money is going to be flowing in geographically. And then there may be opportunities in real estate or small businesses in those economies, and you can see it coming, but nobody talks about it. So I created Main Street Capitalist as a show to begin to talk about it. I still do the investor mentoring club, which is, you know. A premium thing where we get together every month and we talk about these things. And the point is, is that if you understand, I think what he’s doing, then you can, you can begin to paddle into position. And I think, again, I am really bullish if he loses inflation. If he loses to inflation, he’s cooked. He knows it. I think that that even the suggestion that Peter made that he was losing to inflation is what flared him up. And so I wasn’t trying to necessarily defend. Peter and I wasn’t trying to defend Trump, I was just trying to reconcile that it is possible that both guys could be right at the same time from their perspective. And so I, you know, I, I had one guy take exception because he felt like I was defending Trump, but for the most part, I got positive feedback on the video. I, I, I, you saw it. So you tell me. Did it make sense? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. So when you look at today’s environment, everything going on, where do you think investors are most vulnerable? Um, I, I think that if you are very dependent upon, um, healthy credit markets, we could have a disruption. And that’s what happened to me. If Trump loses the inflation battle even for a little while, little be reflected in interest rates. And the challenge is right now that he is asked the Fed to quote unquote lower rates, but the Fed actually doesn’t like. Set rates, what they do is they set a target and then they manipulate markets to achieve those rates. And if, if people believe the fed, there’s a little bit of front running. So what’ll happen is the Fed will come out and go, oh, we’re gonna lower rates, which means bond prices are gonna go up. So they’re like, that’s great, let’s go buy a bunch of bonds, which drives rates down. So the Fed just by talking. Begins to move the market and then they hope that later on the Fed will buy those bonds from them at a profit to push rates down. Does that make sense? So, so when the last two times the Fed has raised rates in their target, the 10 year has responded in the opposite direction. Which means that the market is like not buying in, and the Fed is gonna have to step in. And when the Fed steps in, they do it by printing money out out of thin air. Now, the concern about that is that when they print the money out of thin air. If they’re replacing bonds on their own balance sheet, that’s kind of a circle and it doesn’t leak out into the economy. If they’re buying new issuance from the the treasury, then that money is gonna work its way through the government to to to main street. Now, the Trump administration can prevent some of that by keeping the money in the Treasury, for example, uh, Trump 1.0 left. The Biden administration with, I think over a trillion dollars in, in the treasury checking account, and Janet Yellen put that into the economy right away during the lockdowns, which immediately created extreme inflation because you muted production at the same time you goose. Uh. Purchasing power, you know? So anybody with like three ounces of economic understanding could have told you that that inflation was gonna come, it was gonna come hard, it was gonna come fast, and it was gonna be stickier than than you thought. ’cause once you let that money out in the economy, it’s out. It’s out and the only way to mute it is either to suck it back, which is very, very difficult, or to outproduce it, and it’s very hard to produce anything when everything’s in lockdown. So I think that, you know, those days are behind us. I think the policies that we’re embracing now are more. Pro productivity. And I think that even if the Fed does have to step in, as long as that money doesn’t leak out into the economy, and part of it is the treasury being able to throttle some of that, and the money that does go into the economy doesn’t go into stimulus, but goes into CapEx and infrastructure, that’ll actually, uh, create. Production. Then I think that, you know, this, this game plan that I think they’re trying to execute has a chance. And so I, I’m, I’m watching for it. And of course, to answer your question, what do we have to worry about that it doesn’t work? Right? If it doesn’t work, then inflation will show up. Interest rates will rise, credit markets will crash, it will take real estate values with it. And the hedge is really gonna be, what I’ve always talked about is gold. I started talking back in 2018 when we were the zero bound with interest rates. Hey, there’s only one way interest rates can go and that’s up. And if they go up fast, then that’s gonna crash bonds. So it would be smart, and that’s gonna take real estate equity with it. So it’d be smart when you have real estate equity and low rates to pull some of that equity out and move it into gold. And I called that my precious equity strategy. If I have a video I did at the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference in January of 2022, explaining that when you could still really execute on that, and I’m not saying that you couldn’t do it today, but it’s harder, but the people who did it back then, I mean, you know, they’ve, they’ve seen their gold almost triple. And at the same time, they were able to lock in interest rates that are, you know, a half what they are today. So when you see those mega trends and you can begin, and that’s the stuff I didn’t know how to do in 2006, 2007. I didn’t understand any of this stuff. The, the, you know, losing everything in 2008 forced me to become a hardcore student and then try to apply that to Main Street strategy. And so I think gold and real estate and debt, they all work really well together depending on where you are in the cycle. Do you think that Main Street investors may actually have some advantages in periods like this? Yes, a ton because I think what’s gonna happen is if we have a, um, a, a, a restructure of the financial system into something more responsible, which I think is either gonna be forced upon us or it’s gonna be done by design, and I hope we do it by design. But when that happens, then the days of just buying low and selling high and riding the inflation wave that goes away. And so now it’s gonna be very, very important to understand how to invest for. Productivity. So I call it, you know, buy low sell high trading as an acronym, B-L-S-H-T you. You can sound it out for yourself phonetically. And then the other one is poo, which is productivity of others. And I think that if people focus on investing in the productivity of others, which is what Main street investors, especially real estate investors, focus on, I think cash flow, real profits on small businesses, not speculating on. Uh, exit price or a company that’s gonna take a company public, everybody trying to tap into this giant flood of money that gets pre created from thin air in the banking system and in Wall Street. If, if, if people on Main Street will just start investing. Kind of what Kenny McElroy was doing going through 2008, just focusing on sound assets and good markets with good fundamentals. That cash flow and, and are run by good managers, whether it’s a business, an apartment building, a mobile home park, a self storage, residential assisted living doesn’t really matter. Invest in real businesses that produce real profits where you’re not overpaying for that production of income and especially where there’s some upside. Not to flipping out of the stock, but to actually growing the market share and growing the income. That’s what investing really should be. Wall Street has perverted it into just placing bets and riding a wave and trying to figure out where the money is gonna flow from the Treasury or for from Fed stimulus. And I think Main Street is gonna pick up on the new game sooner. And the good news is if you get good at playing that game, even if the system stays the same, you’re probably gonna do better off anyway. When you talk about buying, buying or investing into productive businesses, I mean, what, what’s the difference in your mind between investing in a private business versus investing in a, you know, a publicly traded business that’s run off, you know, dividends? Yeah, so I, I, I think that it could be okay if the dividend yield makes sense, but anytime you have a publicly traded security, it’s a highly liquid market, which means it’s gonna be volatile and the stocks become chips in the casinos where professional traders are just gambling all day long. And some of that gambling can create an impact on the stock, and it doesn’t matter to you if you’ve only bought it for production of income. Um. And so, uh, you know, I, I don’t think it’s bad. I’ve, you know, Peter’s always been an advocate of, uh, dividend paying stocks, and I think if you’re gonna be in the stock market, that’s what you want to do. I think the opportunity in a private placement in a small business is the opportunity not to have to pay the high multiples because it’s not a perfect market. It’s, it’s the same reason there’s so much more opportunity in real estate. If real estate could trade on an electronic exchange where. You know, millions of buyers could find it, and you could have perfect price discovery. It’s very difficult to find a deal, right? It’s very difficult. But we, if you buy a private business, you know there’s gonna be considerations. You, you deal with a, a owner. Who cares about his customers, who cares about his team, maybe would be willing to carry back the way you would if you were buying a, a, a piece of property from somebody that cares about their neighbors or whatever. I mean, there’s, there’s, there’s a lot more humanity in it. There’s a lot more room for negotiation in it. And a lot of times there’s a lot more room to have control. So, you know, one of the adages with real estate that real estate investors like is, I’m gonna buy an asset, one that I understand, two that I can control. And so when you buy a stock, like a dividend paying stock, you, you might understand the business, you may not understand completely the. Uh, market dynamics that drive the stock price. But as long as the dividends are there, that can be okay, but you don’t have any control. When you actually go buy a small business, you have a, a degree of control. Now, if you’re a passive investor buying into a syndication, then you still have a little bit more, um. Relationship, you have a little bit more insight. You maybe have a voice. You may know the people that are making the decision and running the company personally. So it’s the same thing. You know, you Buck is a syndicator. When you go do a deal, your investors know you. They have a personal relationship with you. Go buy stuff in the stock market and mutual fund managers and investor. You don’t have a relationship with that fund manager and I think that’s worth something if you have a voice right. So we’ve, we’re talking a little bit about credit markets, um, volatility, you know, interest rates. Are they gonna go down like, you know, Donald Trump would like to see, and you know, we’ve got a new fed share coming, all that kind of thing. How should investors be thinking about leverage and risk right now? I, I think the adage with real estate, uh, I mean, sorry, with leverage is always the same, is, um, you know, manage cash flow. I, if, if you use leverage to speculate, that could be a real problem. And whether you did it. Do it for real estate like I did by having very thin or negative cash flow and making that up someplace else and believing that somehow, you know, rents or appreciation are gonna do it. Or buying a non-income producing asset with borrowed funds hoping it’s gonna go higher. I think that would be dangerous, but I think if you fundamentally use debt as a tool. Based on cash flows and you use conservative cash flows, you know, so the debt service coverage ratio, you know, if you have $10,000 a month going out in debt service, make sure you have at least, you know, $12,000 a month coming in on income or above. Then that’s how you begin to build resiliency into your portfolio. And the other thing is don’t borrow long to invest short, right? So your duration matters a lot. We were talking about this before we hit the record button, and I think what happens is people. Uh, make a mistake when they try to operate like a bank. ’cause banks lend short and invest long. And the only reason they get away with it is because they have the Federal Reserve Bank system backstopping them. But you don’t have that as an individual, so you better to do the opposite. Um, if you can match the durations, that’s perfect, right? ’cause then you know what your interest expense is for the, for the duration of the investment. And once you lock in the spread, then you just have the counterparty risk of the, whoever is responsible for creating that income stream that’s gonna service the debt you use to control the asset. And then it just comes down to underwriting and then recourse. And if you feel comfortable with the underwriting and you feel comfortable with the recourse, and you’ve got spread and you’ve locked in a, a duration. Um, that, that is compatible, then that can be a, a, a fairly safe way to use debt. And if interest rates work against you, then you’re okay. And if interest rates work for you, you might be able to refinance your debt and actually increase your spread, but you don’t need it to happen to be successful. Let’s talk a little bit more about what you’re doing right now. So in the past year, you’ve launched, um, several new initiatives. You had masterminds via platforms. Tell us a little bit about this and, and a little bit more what, what you’re trying to accomplish. Well, you know, after losing my wife, um, you, you go through this. Period of time of like figuring out, okay, life is short. What do I want to get done before I left die myself. And so, um, after thinking about that, I went back to really what I came to do when I first met Robert Helms and got involved in the real estate guys. And so I just kinda went back to home base and. Then the other thing is now I’ve got 17 grandchildren, and so I’m thinking a lot less like a father, more like a, a grandfather, a founding father. And, um, and so I’m thinking about what the world is gonna be like in 40, 50, 60 years, and what can I do to plant a seed that will make that world better for my grandchildren? And so I, I did a couple things. One is, um, after I left the real estate guys, we were going through a merger with Ken McElroy, George Gammon and Jason Hartman to create, um, a mastermind group, which we did. And I, I was CEO of that for the. The year during the merger. And that took up some time. And the second thing I decided to do, uh, ironically, it was after a conversation I had with Charlie Kirk. I had a conversation with Charlie Kirk. I said, Hey, I’ve got this idea to help, uh, K through 12 get involved in, in capitalism by starting businesses or working with businesses. Their parents start, and I explained to him the model. He goes, I love it. I want to help you. And so that encouraged me. And then I had a follow up meeting in January of 20. 24 with Mark Victor Hansen, and he really encouraged me. And so with the strength of those two endorsements, I go, you know, I’m gonna do this. And so, uh, I left the real estate guys in, um. March, late March of 2024, and in the summer of 2024, I, I launched the Raising Capitalists Foundation, and people can learn more about that by going to raising capitalists plural.org. And I, I literally launched it at Freedom Fest on July 13th, 2024 and five minutes before I took the stage, Donald Trump got shot. Always remember where I was and how distracting it was, but I did record that presentation and it’s on the website, and so it explains the model. But in, in short, it’s pairing, um, or it’s, it’s putting parents who are in what Kiyosaki, uh, rich Dad would call the E-Class employees. And, uh. Put them under a mentorship program with experienced entrepreneurs and investors to help them start a business, a side hustle. They need the money and they need a mentor. And so then they, um, it can create a situation where their children can come to work for them in the business. And today, information Society, you know, there’s a lot of things kids can do where they learn real life skills, um, working with their parents. So that’s what the Raising Capitalist Foundation is all about. Then I launched two shows. Uh, in 2025, uh, one is I literally just launched like a week ago, and that’s. That Donald Trump video was really the first one that I put out, the Donald Trump versus Peter Schiff video on YouTube. I haven’t even started the podcast side of it. Um, and in on September 27th, uh, on pray.com, I started, uh, another show that, that one’s called the Main Street Capitalist. So if you go to YouTube and look at the Main Street capitalist, you’ll, you can find me there. And then the other one I created was the Christian capitalist. And I kind of went back to, you know, my, my core roots of realizing when I started looking at. Where the country was at, John Adams said that, um. Our Constitution was designed for a moral and religious people and is really wholly inadequate for any other, and so I thought, you know what? I’m I, I’m going to do that because my experience as a, as a Christian businessman is that I find that sometimes the stuff I get in church is more consumer oriented, and it doesn’t, it’s more employee oriented. I, I don’t. And, and then the other part of that is I created a, a ministry called Fellowship, a Christian capitalist, which is really about helping people put purpose into their business and then, you know, express their faith. Love your neighbor. Through their business. And so I’ve got all these different initiatives going and then I created the Main Street Media Network because I wanting to reach youth. I hired a YouTube coach and I said, look, I want to create content to encourage youth. He goes, that’s great. You can’t do it. You’re too old, he said, so what you need to do is find young people you can mentor and teach them the things that you’ve learned and let them teach it in their own words and they’ll reach their generation better than you. So with Main Street Media Network, I’m I, I’ve got. Two guys that I’m apprenticing right now, but I’m gonna be adding a lot more. Um, one, one young man is 20 years old, the other one is 26 years old. And, uh, I just came back from the Turning Point USA event where we had a broadcast booth and they were conducting interviews and I did the New Orleans Investment Conference. And so these guys are sitting down with Peter Schiff, Robert Kiyosaki, Mike Maloney, Ken McElroy, you know, you, you know what that did for you, buck with your show. You know, you, you met all these people through us and then you. We’re able to build upon that and create a very credible show. So I’m doing that for these guys that are in their twenties with the idea that they will be able to reach a generation of people. Uh, I call it putting Boomer Wisdom in Gen Z mounts. I mean, they get to process it and it gets to be their own. And I’m helping them build financial podcasts that actually make the money and is the foundation of, in this case, they’re both capital raisers of their capital raising business. I got all these different things going, but I’m doing it through leaders, so I’m not trying to do all things myself. Yeah, yeah. Um, but I’m building out an ecosystem to accomplish all these goals and so far so good. It’s a lot. Sounds working like a young man, man, man. I’ll tell you that. I know, I know. Wow. I I thought you were gonna slow down after you. No, I’ve actually, I put my, I put, I put my foot on the gas. I, I’ve probably never worked, uh, harder. Um, but I, I think I’m working smart, you know, so I’m hiring coaches and I’m bringing in, um, leaders and going through all that EOS and organizing to scale stuff. Sounds good. Well, always a pleasure, Russ. Um, make sure not to be a stranger to have you on again, um, you know, in a few months and figure out where you’re going with all this stuff.

This week, Jason and Michael Zuber evaluate President Trump's recent executive actions and their potential consequences for the national housing market and broader economy. They highlights efforts to ban institutional investors from buying single-family homes, a move seen as politically popular but unlikely to trigger a significant price collapse. They also examine the implications of capping credit card interest rates at 10%, debating whether this will help struggling families or inadvertently cause a sharp contraction in available credit. They consider how government-backed mortgage securities and lower interest rates could stimulate housing turnover and GDP growth. Additionally, they cover the subpoena of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell and the possibility of future federal incentives for first-time homebuyers and entry-level builders. Ultimately, they suggest that while some measures may face legal or economic hurdles, they signal a shift toward economic nationalism and prioritized affordability. #TrumpExecutiveOrders #HousingAffordability #SingleFamilyHomes #InstitutionalInvestors #WallStreetRealEstate #AtlantaHousing #JacksonvilleRealEstate #FairHousing #FannieMae #FreddieMac #MortgageRates #JeromePowell #FedSubpoena #FederalReserveRemodel #CreditCardInterestCap #ConsumerCredit #DebtReduction #FirstTimeHomeBuyers #FiftyYearMortgage #TaxCredits #HousingInventory #EntryLevelHousing #GIBuilderInitiative #GDPGrowth #EconomicFraud #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #RealEstateInvesting #PropertyTracker #MortgageLockInEffect #MidtermElections2026 #VenezuelaOil #EnergyCosts #SoundMoney #HousingEmergency #RentToValueRatio #AffordabilityImprovement   Key Takeaways: 0:00 Trump's Venezuela Strategy 2:47 Cotality data: small versus mega investors 7:28 Equity cushions 8:44 Mortgage rates drop and the effects it brings to the economy 14:35 The worse kind of debt 20:37 Jerome Powell subpoenaed 29:30 Program for the first-time home buyer and builders 36:00 Learning the Proforma https://propertytracker.com/ 39:30 What's coming in 2026     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

Jason and Michael Zuber identify health, mobility, and relationships as three vital assets that hold more value than financial wealth. They emphasize that while money acts as a magnifier of existing habits, it cannot compensate for a body that has been neglected or injured through high-stress lifestyles or extreme physical activities. Drawing parallels to investing strategies, they advocate for consistent, low-risk discipline over "home run" efforts that often lead to physical or financial setbacks. The conversation also explores the value of social networks, suggesting that maintaining a broad range of "weak ties" can provide more practical opportunities than relying solely on a small circle of deep friendships. Ultimately, they conclude that individuals should prioritize their well-being early in life, as recovering one's physical and social vitality becomes significantly more difficult with age. https://onerentalatatime.com/    #MobilityMatters #Relationships #Investing #WealthBuilding #HealthyHabits #PhysicalFitness #Networking #WeakTies #MetcalfesLaw #Mastermind #SuccessMindset #StayMobile #LifeBalance #PersonalGrowth #JasonHartman #WealthAdvice #InjuryPrevention #ActiveLifestyle #HolisticWealth #BeyondMoney #SocialCapital #NetworkEffect #PatienceInInvesting #SlowAndSteady #LongTermWealth #Wellness #HealthyAging #communitybuilding Key Takeaways: Key Takeaways: 0:00 3 Things more important than money 1:07 #1 Health 5:15 #2 Mobility 9:47 Do the boring stuff 10:54 #3 Relationships and "weak ties"     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

Jason and Michael provide a strategic roadmap for achieving wealth through real estate in 2026. They emphasize that cultivating a resilient mindset is the primary requirement for success, urging newcomers to ignore negativity and embrace the risks inherent in entrepreneurship. They highlight the importance of finding a balance between careful market analysis and taking decisive action, warning against the paralysis that comes from over-studying. A core recommendation is to maintain direct control over investments rather than relying on syndicators, which protects individuals from mismanagement and excessive fees. Finally, they encourage joining supportive professional communities to leverage the unique, multi-dimensional financial benefits that income properties offer over other asset classes. https://www.skool.com/oraat #2026RealEstateOpportunity #EaglesFlyAlone #EntrepreneurialFaith #MarketMastery #PvsPCBalance #WisdomInAction #MaintainControl #AvoidSyndicators #PowerOfProximity #MultiDimensionalWealth #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #TheFlywheelEffect   Key Takeaways: 0:00 The most important thing 4:27 Have the "right" goal and sharpening your ax 9:38 What to do that FIRST month 11:25 Do your own deals 13:50 Get in the right communities 15:56 Great opportunities in 2026   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 541 published last July 13, 2015. Massive shifts in the world economy are coming and may be as soon as 2020. The United States has the unique opportunity to take charge of the change through technological breakthroughs that will lead us down the utopian path. In addition, the U.S. is still the best country in which to make real estate investments. But if you do it be wise about it. Private investments are one of the safest vehicles to create your wealth. Be wary of group investment funds which put the control of the funds in someone else's hands. Jason cautions his listeners against this type of investing.

Jason and Michael critique predictions of a housing market crash, arguing that current data contradicts "doomer" narratives. They highlight that inventory levels and months of supply are significantly lower today than during the 2008 financial crisis, making a massive price collapse unlikely. The speakers emphasize that government intervention and central bank policies are structurally designed to support the housing market, as it represents a massive portion of the national economy. They also point out that rising wages and increasing FHA loan limits are improving affordability and driving transaction volume. Ultimately, the discussion advises investors to ignore emotional clickbait and instead align themselves with long-term economic facts and cash-flowing assets. https://onerentalatatime.com/ #HousingMarket2025 #RealEstateFacts #NoHousingCrash #InventoryShortage #NARData #HousingInventory #MedianSalesPrice #Affordability #WageGrowth #TransactionVolume #EconomicStability #FHALoanLimits #GovernmentIntervention #CentralBanks #IncomeProperty #FixedRateDebt #CashFlow #MarketCycles #RealEstateInvesting #WealthBuilding #HousingSupply #MarketTrends #SmartInvesting #FactCheck #EconomicImpact #HousingBubble #PropertyInvestment #DebtDestruction #MarketTruths #InvestmentStrategy   Key Takeaways: 00:00 Intro 1:34 NAR Data: What they're NOT telling you 11:17 Existing home sales 16:55 What a housing crash needs  19:22 Hgher limits on FHA loans 22:08 Keep banging that drum   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

Michael Zuber and Jason Hartman, are forecasting economic and housing trends for 2026. They discuss several key variables, including the unemployment rate, which Hartman predicts will slightly increase due to automation and artificial intelligence, but argues this will ultimately lead to greater prosperity and new industries. The conversation then shifts to interest rates, with Jason expressing optimism for rates hovering around six percent, partly due to the Federal Reserve's move back into quantitative easing (QE), which he believes will positively impact the housing market by increasing credit availability. They anticipate modest GDP growth and increased home sales volume for 2026, rejecting crash scenarios and predicting home price appreciation of around 3-4%. They conclude by affirming that inflation is the government's likely strategy to manage massive debt, which they see as a hidden wealth creator for real estate investors through inflation-induced debt destruction. #2026EconomicVariables #UnemploymentU3 #RisingUnemployment #AIandAutomation #IncreasedProductivity #InsatiableWants #EconomicProsperity #LuxurySectors #SpasAndMedSpas #CarAsAService #LowerInterestRates #QuantitativeEasing #MoneySupply #MortgageCreditAvailabilityIndex #HousingLockinEffect #AffordableHousing #NoForeclosureCrisis #MBSBuyingGameChanger #ScarceInventory #HousingPriceAppreciation #GDPBullish #ResilientEconomy #TheConsumer #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #RealEstateWealthCreation   Key Takeaways: 1:43 Where do you think these things go in 2026 9:39 Money supply and Quantitative Easing (QE) 13:46 GDPs and Recession calls 15:39 A crash in transactions versus price 17:58 The consumer  19:14 6 Ways to get out of this mess   Transcript HERE   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

The first key to understanding inflation is to recognize the difference between real and nominal. If you think about a physical $100 bill, it is easy to understand that 50 years ago, it was still a $100 bill. We called it the same thing, it looked (mostly) the same when you held it in your hands. But it was the same in a nominal way—in name only. A $100 bill did not buy the same amount of things 50 years ago. Instead, the value fluctuates constantly. Recently, you may have noticed examples of fluctuating prices in places like shopping malls. While holiday sales used to happen after the holiday, retailers now offer price saving opportunities before the holiday, despite the fact that it cuts into their bottom line.  We're entering a different economic time. It is also important to distinguish between price and value. Temporary appreciation of money is great—but it should be taken advantage of with an attention to time. Money that is more valuable in the short term should be immediately exchanged for packaged commodities, like real estate. Then, you've got a mortgage that is locked in the price of borrowing for thirty years. Price and value are two different things, so take a tip from Jason Hartman and make sure you understand the difference. Remember Joe the Plumber? His fifteen minutes of fame came after he said, "Obama, you're going to raise my taxes and redistribute wealth." But taxes are the amateur's game of wealth redistribution because it is so obvious. When people are taxed, they get upset. Inflation is less obvious that taxation and is therefore the superior wealth redistribution tool. Inflation destroys the value of stocks, savings, bonds, equity. You may have heard that real estate is an excellent hedge against inflation. If you've got a real estate portfolio work $1 million in equity, in ten years, we don't exactly know the value. But we can make an educated guess that it's going to be worth less than it is today. Being a millionaire isn't as difficult as it used to be. If you sell your million dollars in properties today, these dollars are worth more than dollars in ten years. As you can see, equity is under attack because it is nominated in dollars. You shouldn't have equity because it is always susceptible to risk—instead, as Jason Hartman says, Refi Till You Die!       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 461, published last January 5, 2015.  On today's Creating Wealth Show, Jason Hartman talks about the vital side of investing that is construction cost. As an investor within real estate, it's so important to know the situation, whether it be adjusting how much you pay contractors to match with the area itself or knowing just how much the replacements to your property would be compared with the actual cost price.   #JasonHartman #CreatingWealth #RealEstateInvesting #IncomeProperty #RegressionToReplacementCost #LTIRatios #LandToImprovementRatio #ConstructionCost #InvestmentRisk #CashFlowInvesting #PrudentInvestor #PackagedCommodities #NAHB #CyclicalMarkets #LinearMarkets #Birmingham #MeetTheMasters #FinancialFreedom #PropertyDepreciation #TaxBenefits #HartmanRiskEvaluator #FlashbackFriday #PropertyPerformer #CaliforniaRealEstate #TexasRealEstate #Homebuilders #ValueDrivers   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, Jason talks about the power of leverage and real estate investment. A core argument is presented through comparative returns, illustrating that leveraging single-family homes yields a superior return on investment compared to the S&P 500 and gold, driven by the host's "inflation-induced debt destruction strategy." He also touches upon a housing shortage, limited inventory, and the Federal Reserve's rate cut, which is expected to further increase home prices. Finally, Jason encourages listeners to become direct investors and "buy some houses and rent them out," criticizing more complex investment vehicles like syndications and the stock market as deals where only the promoters profit significantly. Jason then welcomes client Jay Von Lehman, a former Army engineer officer turned real estate investor, who discussed his investment journey from reading Rich Dad Poor Dad in 2013 to his current focus on gold investments through Monetary Metals. They explored the economic benefits of real estate and precious metals investments, particularly in the context of inflation and currency devaluation, while also discussing the government's stance on cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin. They conclude with a discussion about the current real estate market conditions and the benefits of self-managing properties across multiple states, with Jay sharing his experience managing properties remotely. #RealEstate #Leverage #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #AssetAppreciation #SingleFamilyHomes #IncomeProperty #TaxFavoredAssetClass #FedRateCut #MoneyPrinter #HousingShortage #ShadowDemand #EconomicBoom #GDPGrowth #TechnologyBoom #AI #MonthsOfSupply #DirectInvestor #StopOvercomplicatingIt #BuyHousesRentThemOut #MasterClass #ClientCaseStudy #PasadenaCalifornia Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:58 Join our FREE Masterclass every second Wednesday of each month.

Jason sets the stage for an interview with Helen Smith, Ph.D., author of Men on Strike, emphasizing the book's wide-ranging impact on household formation and real estate investing. Shifting focus, Jason predicts a new, accommodative Federal Reserve chair who will promote "easy money" and lead to lower rates and increased mortgage credit availability. This policy change is expected to release significant pent-up market demand, driving appreciation as millions of potential buyers enter the limited housing stock. Furthermore, Jason observes that the previously soft apartment market is firming up, which should put upward pressure on single-family rental rates. Finally, he invites listeners to register for a free master class detailing how to secure up to $250,000 in credit to achieve substantial builder discounts through a delayed financing strategy. Then Jason welcomes clinical and forensic psychologist Helen Smith as they discuss her book "Men on Strike" and its exploration of men's disengagement from society, including its impact on marriage and family dynamics. Smith shares insights from her new book "His Side" about men's challenges and experiences, particularly regarding societal expectations and legal issues, while also discussing the "Trad Wife" movement and the changing landscape of gender roles. They conclude with Smith highlighting the importance of male spaces and camaraderie, while addressing concerns about risk-taking behaviors and the evolving nature of relationships in contemporary society.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 484, published last March 02, 2015.  Jason and mortgage expert Randy champions the superior wealth-building capacity of real estate compared to the stock market. They center on the strategic use of leverage and the concept of inflation-induced debt destruction to dramatically boost investor returns, arguing that financing a property far outweighs the benefits of owning it free and clear. Specialized mortgage options available through companies like B2R and First Key are examined, as these lenders uniquely cater to investors by offering financing to entities like LLCs and permitting loan-to-value ratios up to 75%. These non-agency loans require strict adherence to a Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) of 1.2 or higher, ensuring properties generate substantial positive cash flow before being approved for debt that is intentionally utilized to outsource risk to the bank. They conclude that despite common misinformation from financial gurus, actively managed income property remains the best path to financial freedom.   Mentioned In This Episode: Missed Fortune by Douglas Andrew Missed Fortune 101 by Douglas Andrew Irrational Exuberance 1&2 by Robert Shiller     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

Jason discussed the introduction of 50-year mortgages in the United States and their potential impact on real estate affordability and demand, while highlighting favorable market conditions including sliding interest rates and the end of quantitative tightening. He explained how extended mortgage terms can be financially beneficial through inflation-induced debt destruction and tax deductions, contrasting common misconceptions about mortgages as liabilities. Jason emphasized the importance of understanding current market trends and encouraged listeners to explore his AI chatbot and past content for insights, while also promoting his upcoming monthly masterclasses and the Empowered Investor Pro community. Jason then welcomes Jeff Deist, in-house counsel for Monetary Metals, to discuss the impact of dollar debasement and inflation on the economy. They explore how the U.S. has been in a slow-motion economic decline since 1971 and examine the evolving nature of money, including the role of gold and digital assets in the modern financial system. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the use of physical gold to generate income through leasing arrangements and the benefits and risks of gold investments, including its cultural significance and untapped potential as a financial asset.

They discuss specific provisions like accelerated depreciation and the permanent grandfathering of Opportunity Zones, highlighting their role in attracting capital back into the market. They explore broader real estate trends, including interest rates, the "lock-in effect" on housing supply, and the importance of cost segregation for tax benefits.

Jason Hartman discusses the current state of the single family housing market with Ken McElroy. He explains there are three types of markets - linear, cyclical, and hybrid. Linear markets like Memphis and Indianapolis see slow, steady growth. Cyclical markets like LA and Miami experience volatile booms and busts. Hybrid fall in between. Despite rising rates, most of the country has seen modest home price declines, except some western markets. This is due to low inventory; there are only 500,000 homes listed compared to a normal 1.2 million. Demand has fallen 20% but supply remains very tight. Millennials are finally entering their prime home-buying years, further straining supply. Existing homeowners with sub-4% mortgages are unlikely to sell (the "lock-in effect"). Unemployment insurance can cover most mortgage payments, preventing distress. The ingredients for a housing crash are not present. Rents will likely rise as home prices soften. #realestate #housingmarket #singlefamilyhomes #residentialrealestate #realestateinvesting #realestatecrash #housingcrash #housinginventory #mortgagerates #interestrates #housingaffordability #millennialshomebuying #rentalmarket   Key Takeaways: 0:49 All real estate is local 2:55 3 Types of Markets 6:46 Interest rate hikes and appreciation values 8:35 Rents: where it is all headed 11:13 The Lock-in effect 12:33 2023 Housing inventory 15:39 Median mortgage payments 16:45 Unemployment insurance     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

Jason discussed the introduction of 50-year mortgages in the United States and their potential impact on real estate affordability and demand, while highlighting favorable market conditions including sliding interest rates and the end of quantitative tightening. He explained how extended mortgage terms can be financially beneficial through inflation-induced debt destruction and tax deductions, contrasting common misconceptions about mortgages as liabilities. Jason emphasized the importance of understanding current market trends and encouraged listeners to explore his AI chatbot and past content for insights, while also promoting his upcoming monthly masterclasses and the Empowered Investor Pro community. Jason then welcomes Jeff Deist, in-house counsel for Monetary Metals, to discuss the impact of dollar debasement and inflation on the economy. They explore how the U.S. has been in a slow-motion economic decline since 1971 and examine the evolving nature of money, including the role of gold and digital assets in the modern financial system. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the use of physical gold to generate income through leasing arrangements and the benefits and risks of gold investments, including its cultural significance and untapped potential as a financial asset.

Today on the Creating Wealth show, Jason talks about some of the latest things he is up to as well as talks about an interesting opinion article published by the Washington Post.

Jason  champions a view of real estate as a "packaged commodities" investment, emphasizing the financial advantage of the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. They also stress the importance of adjusting financial figures for inflation, noting that reports of skyrocketing luxury home sales are misleading when not accounting for the dollar's diminished purchasing power. Furthermore, the discussion touches on the unusual trend of luxury home price growth outpacing non-luxury homes due to wealth concentration and the Cantillon effect. Finally, the speaker promotes the strategy of inflation-induced debt destruction and discusses the long-term upward pressure on rents, before briefly introducing the topic of long-term care insurance. The Jason welcomes Aaron Miller, a lawy specializing in long-term care insurance. They focus on long-term care planning and funding options, with Aaron Miller sharing his personal and professional experience as an attorney specializing in elder law. They cover various methods for paying for long-term care, including private pay, insurance, and government assistance programs like Medicaid, with emphasis on the importance of proper planning to avoid financial strain on families. Aaron concluded with insights on elder law abuse, particularly financial abuse by caregivers, and the benefits of long-term care insurance for protecting one's legacy and assets through proper estate planning. #PackagedCommodities #RealEstateInvesting #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #WealthConcentration #LuxuryHousingMarket #HomeSales #AdjustForInflation #CPILie #HousingAffordability #IncomeProperty #PassThroughAsset #RentIncreases #LinearMarkets #CyclicalMarkets #MortgageRates #GovernmentIntervention #LongevityBreakthroughs #LongTermCareInsurance #DieWithZero #FinancialAI  Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:24 Be a packaged commodities investor 2:54 Hamptons housing, inflation and other news 9:55 International tourist trips 11:13 US home prices are up 13:53 House prices outpaced income growth 16:45 FED cuts US rates 17:30 BOA: Copper prices could rise 18:35 Teeing up long-term care insurance 20:10 Need help?

This Flashback Friday is from episode 488, published last March 12, 2015. In Jason Hartman's introduction portion of the show, he answers a listener question about the due on sale clause and transferring your property into a single member LLC.  Jason also welcomes guest John Michael Greer to the show. He is the author of several books with the most recent one being The Wealth of Nature. In the show today, Jason and John talk about the US economy and some of the key issues that it currently has in today's market.  Mentioned In This Episode:  HotPads.com VisualCapitalist.com The Great Crash, 1929 by John Kenneth Galbraith The Wealth of Nature by John Michael Greer    http://thearchdruidreport.blogspot.com/     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  

Jason focuses on the housing market and broader economic trends. He shares parts of a video by a financial YouTuber named Brian Kim, who presents data on home prices and mortgage interest rates, arguing that the market is resilient despite localized drops and that prices will likely continue to rise due to Federal Reserve rate cuts and quantitative easing. Jason, who agrees with Brian's prediction of improving conditions for real estate investors and a decline in mortgage rates, adds context regarding serious delinquency rates and layoffs in the labor market, suggesting that corporate efficiency and the desire for more material goods have historically counteracted automation's potential to cause mass unemployment. They both conclude that the current environment is favorable for buying a home, especially for investors, and dismiss the likelihood of an imminent housing market crash. #HousingMarketUpdate #MortgageInterestRates #FederalReserve #QuantitativeEasing #MonetaryTighteningCycle #HomePrices #HousingAffordability #HousingShortage #InstitutionalInvestors #BlackRock #CommercialRealEstate #ResidentialMarket #ForeclosureActivity #SeriousDelinquencyRates #Inflation #LaborMarket #Layoffs #Productivity #Automation #ArtificialIntelligence #EmpoweredInvestors #RefinanceOpportunity Key Takeaways: 0:00 Brian Kim UPDATE on the housing market 24:58 SFH delinquency rates 27:43 FED to cut interest rates 30:59 How tech was and now is changing lives 39:02 Join EmpoweredInvestorPro.com and Jason's Masterclass every second Wednesday of every month JasonHartman.com/Wednesday 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 475, published last February 11, 2015. In today's Creating Wealth show, Jason first talks about statistics and how so many people use it to manipulate others. He also talks about how there are still a few Meet the Masters home study courses left, so do not forget to order them now while supplies last!  Sara Silverstein joins Jason today on the Creating Wealth show to talk about  funny tongue and cheek correlations. She shares a few examples that she has found over the past few months as well as talks about the birthday paradox, the Wizard of Oz, and her next article for Business Insider about vaccines.    Mentioned In This Episode: How to Lie with Statistics by Darrell Huff  Freakonomics by Stephen Dubner and Steven Levitt.  http://www.businessinsider.com/author/sara-silverstein   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, Jason offers investment guidance, beginning with a discussion on the United States housing market, noting the significant pent-up demand from would-be buyers due to high interest rates and low sales volume. He then promotes income property as the most historically proven asset class, emphasizing the benefit of inflation-induced debt destruction, which reduces the real value of fixed payments over time. Additionally, Jason  cautions against speculative investments and advises maintaining a diversified portfolio while strongly advocating for being a direct investor to avoid the risks associated with syndicators and fund managers, citing the recent Marco Santarelli fraud case as a key example of why investors should "maintain control." Finally, he briefly touches on the rarity of favorable US mortgage options for foreign nationals and offers contact information for building a real estate portfolio. Then Micheal Zuber and Jason focus on the critical distinction between a "bear" and a "doomer" or "crash bro" in financial markets. They argue that being a bear is a logical position based on market cycles, whereas being a doomer is akin to a "religion" motivated by profit, clicks, and the "stealing of hope." A key difference highlighted is that a bear will adjust their opinion when presented with new information, but a doomer never owns their mistakes and simply continues promoting fear, leading to significant opportunity cost for those who follow their advice and remain inactive. They conclude with a call for accountability, urging audiences to challenge doomers on their consistently wrong predictions. https://OneRentalAtATime.com/ #PureEvilExposed #TrillionsLost #InactionCost #OpportunityCost #FearForProfit #ReligionForMoney #FinancialScam #NeverAdmitMistakes #ConstantlyWrong #20PercentCrashLie #ChickenLittle #SkyIsFalling #MindPoisoned #AlgorithmReward #RentTrap #MissedTheWave #HoldThemAccountable Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:48 Check out the Longevity and Biohacking Podcast 2:46 Chart: Existing homes Sales  4:50 Pent Up demand 7:57 Annual nominal vs. inflation adjusted (Real) payments over time 10:23 Monthly inflation adjusted (Real) payments over time  11:17 I love Canada... but not Bitcoin 15:30 The Rational Optimist 16:35 Scammer Marco Santorelli indicted 23:04 We are here to help you build your portfolio Michael Zuber interviews Jason 24:04 Doomers vs. bears   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
