This might be the smartest small real estate portfolio strategy we've ever heard. Today's guest has done the seemingly impossible—gotten rental properties for one dollar, used dirt to cover his down payments, and achieved the (to many investors, extinct) “infinite BRRRR” strategy. He did it all out of necessity—starting with a $30,000-per-year salary and a 90-hour-per-week job. Joe Meehan didn't have the resources to build a real estate portfolio—but he did it anyway. Seven years ago, Joe was coaching basketball on a grueling schedule, making a low income. He saved up all he could, bought his first house, and it all clicked—this is how he would get ahead. Just four years later, he quit his job. Seven years later, he has a cash-flowing rental portfolio of 11 units, and he works for himself. Joe shares the ingeniously simple strategies he's used to turn very little money into a safe, scalable, profitable rental property portfolio. No off-market deals, no sketchy financing—he even did it with eight and nine-percent interest rates. The cards were stacked against him, but he came out (strongly) on top. The best part? You can use the same strategies in 2026. In This Episode We Cover The genius strategy Joe used to get a rental property for ONE dollar (yes, really—$1!) Using extra land to pay for your down payment (Henry loves this strategy) The “infinite BRRRR” and how to get a cash-flowing, renovated rental for (essentially) $0 down The single best rental property for beginners with limited funds Why you shouldn't buy a vacation rental in a touristy market (what to buy instead) And So Much More!

Developers are not just writing code anymore. They are starting to run a virtual team. At AWS re:Invent, I had a conversation with Jemiah Sius, VP, Market Strategy and Developer Relations, from New Relic about how AI is changing the day-to-day life of developers. This was one of those chats that makes you pause and rethink how software will be built very soon.Here is what stood out-- Agentic AI is becoming real for developers Teams are excited about agents that behave like a digital team or a virtual SRE, taking care of reliability and performance while developers focus on building features-- Developers are becoming orchestrators Over the next 6 to 8 months, the role of the developer is shifting. Less time writing every line of code, more time directing agents and tools. This shift is already driving a big jump in productivity-- Observability matters more than ever As agents start working across multiple LLM servers and interacting with other agents, visibility becomes critical. Without observability across the full agent layer, things can quickly create more work instead of less-- New Relic and AWS coming together We talked about the New Relic integration with AWS Q, which brings observability data directly into AWS DevOps workflows, and the new security agent that surfaces real production data on vulnerabilitiesIt was great catching up with Jemiah again and hearing how New Relic is thinking about the future of developers and reliability.#Data #AI #AWSRecipes #NewRelic #AgenticAI #Security #MCP #reinvent #NewRelic #TheRavitShow

In general, the value of a fixed-income security falls when interest rates rise and rises when interest rates fall. Longer term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes and subject to greater volatility than those with shorter maturities. High yield and unrated debt securities are at a greater risk of default than investment grade bonds and may be less liquid, which may increase volatility. Private debt investments are generally considered illiquid and not quoted on any exchange; thus they are difficult to value. The process of valuing investments for which reliable market quotations are not available is based on inherent uncertainties and may not be accurate.

Are we asking ourselves an honest question about who really owns automation inside a business anymore? In my conversation with Darin Patterson, Vice President of Market Strategy at Make, we explore what happens when speed becomes the default requirement, but visibility and structure fail to keep up. Make has become one of the breakout platforms for teams that want to build automated workflows without writing code, and now, with AI agents joining the mix, the stakes feel even higher. Darin talks candidly about the tension between empowerment and chaos, especially in organizations that embraced no-code tools fast and early, only to discover that automation can quietly turn into sprawl if left unchecked. What struck me most is how strongly Darin challenges the idea that documentation alone can save modern IT teams. He argues that traditional monitoring tools and workflow documentation are breaking down under the weight of constant iteration. That's where Make Grid comes in. Make Grid creates an auto-generated, real-time visual map of a company's automation ecosystem, something Darin describes as a turning point for governance. He explains why this matters now, not later. As companies deploy AI into processes that used to be owned by specialists, Grid provides a shared lens for understanding what is running, who built it, and where dependencies exist. It's an answer to a problem many IT leaders are reluctant to admit publicly, that automation systems often grow faster than oversight systems ever could. Darin also offers a refreshingly grounded take on the psychology of ambitious teams. He talks about the need to prevent "no-code anarchy," a phrase I've heard whispered at conferences, but rarely unpacked with clarity. His view is simple, trust teams to build, but give them shared maps, guardrails, and governance that don't slow them down. That balance between autonomy and oversight becomes even more meaningful when AI is introduced into workflows that touch security, IT performance, and cross-team accountability. Make Grid attempts to solve that balance by showing the automation architecture visually, even when internal documentation has gone stale. So here's the question I want to leave you with, if AI agents can now design, connect, and deploy workflows across an organization, what role will visual governance play in keeping businesses both fast and accountable? And what does good oversight look like when humans are no longer the only builders in the system?

For the third time this year, the Federal Reserve cut key interest rates by a quarter-point earlier this week—however, to the chagrin of President Trump, they also signaled this may be the last reduction for several months. While lower rates can bring down borrowing costs for mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards, Chair Jerome Powell doubts their move on Wednesday would bring much relief to what he called the ‘struggling housing' sector. However, Powell also appeared optimistic about economic growth in 2026, and was encouraged by the ongoing investment in artificial intelligence FOX Business' Taylor Riggs speaks with Lou Basenese, the Executive Vice President of Market Strategy at Prairie Operating Company, to discuss what we can expect from the Fed next year, the concerns of an "AI bubble, and other big business headlines from the past week.

$57 billion. That's the amount of revenue tech giant NVIDIA reported in the third quarter. At first, the news was welcomed by investors who had been leery about the evaluation of artificial intelligence and whether the AI boom was actually a bubble. However, the gains from the chip maker's record-breaking revenue were soon lost, as they proved insufficient to ease worried minds. Also this week, the delayed September jobs report surprised with better-than-expected job growth. But what will that mean for the Federal Reserve when they meet next month as they weigh the decision to cut interest rates for a third straight time?
