This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold (00:01:58) - Welcome to GRE, from Italy's Sorrento Peninsula to America's Florida peninsula and across 188 nations worldwide. You're listening to the 491st consecutive weekly installment of the get Rich education podcast. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. And when you invest in real estate with a strategy, which is what we've discussed here for over nine years, you can't help but be a profiteer, even a wild profiteer. It might feel like so much money is falling out of the sky that you might need an umbrella to keep yourself from being hit with it. Raining Benjamins. In fact, with one of the five ways that you expect to be simultaneously paid. All right, let's not focus on the equity growth here, which has been torrid the last four years.   Keith Weinhold (00:02:47) - Not the cash flow, which has been slowed lately, not the tax benefits or the inflation profiting benefit. What else is there that ROA you return on when we talk about so much money falling out of the sky that you catch a case of affluenza, that ROA, it's really one of your quieter profit centers. It is like a savings account that someone else is funding for you. Let's say that you check in at your table of your typical mortgage income property, and it shows that it has $400 of monthly principal pay down. All right. Well, imagine if you had a number of economic actors say you own six rental properties, and then you've got six tenants, six economic actors, perhaps people that you've never met. And all six of them are putting 400 bucks a month into a savings account with your name on it. That is $28,800 a year. That goes into your quote unquote, savings account. Yeah, nearly 30 K a year that your net worth is growing by that you hardly even think about.   Keith Weinhold (00:04:02) - And it's all just part of the profitable background noise that you hardly even hear, along with your leverage depreciation, cash flow taxes and inflation, profiting your tenant builds up your equity. This way, even if your property didn't appreciate at all. And again, in your own primary residence, your ROA is zero because you had to work to pay down your principal, your tenants not doing it for you. Now, this account that they're funding for you, it's not as liquid as a savings account, but it's perhaps more like an old bank CD, a certificate of deposit. It's your money, but you can't access it. In a couple minutes. You would need to do a sale, or you could do a cash out refinance and then it's yours. Your ROA is your tenant made annual principal pay down divided by your equity. Okay. And what if you had more and larger properties? Then this small example I gave you the quietly increases your net worth nearly 30 K every single year. Well, a lot of investors have more or a larger properties where you might have 300 K in annual principal pay down alone.   Keith Weinhold (00:05:22) - The more rental properties you own, the more tenants you have that month in, month out. Every single month they fund a low liquidity savings account with your name on it. And think about it. How did you get in this advantageous position? Well, first you educated yourself. You'll know that they will rent the property from you. And how did you get the property? You don't own an outright. That typically implies too much opportunity cost to have the entire value of your property tied up and paid off. Although they rent the property from you, you got to rent 80% of the money from the bank to buy the property with reap the reward, and you might have to use that umbrella to avoid getting rained on. With the financial windfall. And residential real estate investors have been feeling the rain pouring down for the last three four years. Many commercial real estate investors with short term mortgages don't feel the same way now when you're paid five ways, which has been enhanced by inflation since 2021, you don't really need tip inflation.   Keith Weinhold (00:06:39) - Hunt up of that. In fact, have you ever asked your tenant for a tip, or has a tenant ever paid you a tip for providing housing for them? I wouldn't expect it. It hasn't happened to me. In fact, I've never heard of it. But if. If so, tell us about it right into us at get Rich education. Com slash contact. That's our contact page. A tip for your landlord. Now, think about it this way. You've got all these people asking for tips, really, since the pandemic began. And that's when it really heated up. And then the pandemic receded. And yet the tip requests persist. Baristas, delivery people, fast food workers and the parade of other micro interaction participants that you encounter throughout the day. Those people have no shame in asking you for a tip, and that's even if the service is poor. Now, I'm not saying that you should or shouldn't tip them, but they are micro interaction participants in your life because they're just handing you a coffee, or they're handing you another drink that has too many ice cubes in it.   Keith Weinhold (00:07:55) - On the other hand, what you do is you provide tenants with the roof over their head 30 days in a row, 24 hours a day. By buying the property, you educated yourself. You sunk in a down payment. You build up your own good credit to get a loan to provide housing for a stranger. Well, I guess you'll be asking your tenant a new question each month. Would you like to tip me 18%, 20%, or 25%? Landlord tip inflation? No, I doubt that you're really going to do that. But this is the case that compared to the service level from vendors that you interact with at a lower economic level, you sure could ask for this landlord tip inflation. Let me know if it's ever happened to you now, starting at the end of 2021, near the end of each year here on the show, I have provided you with a home price appreciation forecast for the following year. Well, we have got the results now from last year, so let's check the performance.   Keith Weinhold (00:09:06) - And yeah, don't you wish everyone that made predictions or forecast they reliably review them and followed up with how they actually performed. That's what we're going to do here. Now there are some things that I don't like to predict. In fact, I was the guest on Tom Wheelwright's show at the end of last year as his 2024 Real estate predictions expert. And if you watch that, he really had to press me to get my mortgage rate forecast. I told him back then that 6% by the end of the year was my best guess. But that's all it was not formulaic, not a forecast, and not a 100% confidence level at all. So when we talk about Gray's home price forecasts and our track record, let me share a little context with you here. First, so many other people, including some expert peers that I actually respect. They really got home price appreciation so wrong in this era, especially in 2021. That's when many forecast a home price crash 2021. That's the year we had the highest home price appreciation in a long time, nearly 20% nationally.   Keith Weinhold (00:10:23) - And of course, I have never called for any national home price downturn at all, even a mild one. I'm on record here on the show back in 2020 and 2021. That is when I shared the fact that, look, this administration, our elected officials, whether you like them or not, for better or for worse, they don't want to see people kicked out of their homes and living on the street back then. Remember, like mortgage loan forbearance. But at the end of 2021, I forecast a cooling down of home price appreciation. And I told you then that I expected 9 to 10% for 2022. And at the end of 2022, the result was indeed 10% home price appreciation. And then at the end of 2022, we had already seen mortgage rates spike two and a half times from their lows. And again, many said that was going to catch up with us so that in 2023, home prices would just have to sink. No, they didn't sink. That's when I told you that the only housing crash was going to be a supply crash, and the higher mortgage rates actually correlate with higher home prices, not lower ones.   Keith Weinhold (00:11:39) - That's what historically happens. And I said right here on the show that home prices absolutely can't crash. In fact, they won't fall at all. So 0% was my forecast for last year. No gain, no loss. We now have the number in. Only for last year. Yes, real estate statistics can move slower than an Alaskan glacier. Well, it affirmed that indeed, prices didn't fall. They came in up 3.5% last year. That's the result. We'll round it up to 4%. And we maintain a consistent data set here. The same measuring stick. And that is the Anna's national median single family existing home price. Let me just add that of course I'm neither omniscient nor clairvoyant. I'm giving you the best information my research can provide. It is surely possible that I'll get it wrong sometime. I just haven't yet. Now. And you learn something about real estate here. Why do I use only the existing single family home number? Therefore, why exclude no new build homes? Well, in short, this is how you better compare apples to apples.   Keith Weinhold (00:13:01) - New home construction changes over time. And in fact, the trend for the last decade is that new build homes are shrinking in size and are also being built closer together to each other when they're constructed. So you can see how this disrupts the apples to apples comparison. Ten years ago, the existing single family home was about 1600 square feet and is still 1600 today. But ten years ago, a new build, single family home was about 20 300ft². And it's just 2000ft² today, or 2036 to be exact. So yeah, new build sizes have shrunk 12 to 15% in just the last decade. So this is why I use existing home numbers. And by the way, this shrinking trend, this is the opposite of the early 2000 trend. When you saw a super sizing of homes about 20 years ago, that's when the term McMansion really increased in popularity there about 20 years ago. But it's the opposite now. The shrinking new home trend looks to pick up steam because, like I talked about a few weeks ago, affordability is down.   Keith Weinhold (00:14:19) - Remember, it's worse than it's been since George Jefferson was on television 40 years ago. Don't let's not play The Jeffersons theme music again. The deluxe apartment in the Sky. We played that two weeks ago. Moving on up to the East side. I think that's the music that meant Manhattan's Upper East Side. For those uninitiated on that, that has long been one of New York City's most affluent neighborhoods. Yes. Then the Jeffersons were also funding their landlords return on amortization and more. But getting back to today's new home construction, you can. Therefore, you could say that homes are experiencing shrinkflation today from about 2300ft² to 2000ft² in just a decade, and you can easily see that falling below 2000ft² within two years here. Yes, that type of shrinkflation is more impactful than you paying the same for your shrinking jar of prego spaghetti sauce. Now that you understand why existing home sales numbers are used in Jerry's Home price depreciation forecasts sourced by the Nar, you'll recall that at the end of last year, I forecast 4% home price appreciation for this year.   Keith Weinhold (00:15:43) - We'll check back on that in one year's time. Now, that's amidst the fact that I understand we've got high asset prices all over the place right now, almost everywhere you look, a record high US stock market near record highs in Bitcoin and near record highs in home values. Yes, more home price appreciation is likely. In fact, real estate investor purchases are breaking records. I've got more to tell you about that later. In fact, there is even more fuel being poured out of the housing record right now. And this was breaking news a couple of weeks ago in our Don't Quit Your Daydream newsletter. So if you're a reader, you saw it. And that is the fact that population growth drives real estate prices and rents. News broke that we just experienced the largest one year population increase in all of American history, with an astounding 3.8 million. Our population was up 3.8 million people last year, more than ever in previous census estimates of a 1.6 million person increase had underestimated immigration flows. This was reported in Newsweek and elsewhere.   Keith Weinhold (00:17:03) - Now, look, I've been directly investing in real estate since 2002, and I have rarely encountered a supply demand inflection point like this that requires such attention from you, locating an available property that is already more elusive than finding the missing car keys, and it's going to get even more scarce. This has the appearance of an astounding real estate investment window that we are now entering. See, in most asset classes, the future is largely unknown. Like in stocks, futures markets, derivatives, bonds, crypto, gold, oil, all kinds of other commodities. There are so many unknowns there. And real estate has unknowns too. But there are no three giant certainties for residential real estate in America going forward. Number one is more inflation. Number two is a prolonged scarce housing supply. And thirdly, it is astoundingly good demographics that fuel more demand. This third one is newer. And this is what I'm highlighting here. The demographics were already good, but it's just been turned up another notch. All three of these things are inevitable, and so many people try to predict the future and they fail.   Keith Weinhold (00:18:30) - But these three profitable real estate tailwinds for investors are as assured. I mean, there is a third. Is you forgetting someone's name immediately after they introduce themselves? Yeah. The way to get around that is to recite their name back out loud as soon as you meet them. But what I'm getting at is that this is not hyperbolic to call this potentially a once in a decade opportunity. Other high income countries like Japan and so much of Western Europe, they are sweating buckets, thinking about how their nation's aging populations are sending them over a demographic cliff. And besides just the magnitude of the population growth, again, the biggest one year increase in American history, understand that America's largest group of immigrants are working age producers aged 25 to 54, and they are overwhelmingly renters, not homeowners. So this is your surge in rental demand and this immigration surge. It may or may not last, depending on policy, regulation and the presidential election outcome late this year., you know, Jeff Bezos discussed this one time.   Keith Weinhold (00:19:55) - He discussed about how everyone wants to know the future and understand this. You already know more about the future than what you think, whether it's about your future business life or your investing life or your family life, or the way that you're thinking about technology in autonomous cars or flying cars, in machine learning and artificial intelligence, you know, with things that a lot of people, they ask themselves a question about the future, and they ask, what will be different in ten years? Well, there's nothing wrong with that question. In fact, it's a perfectly good question. But instead, ask yourself the opposite. What will be the same in ten years? Yeah. What will be the same in ten years? Now, black swans aside, in real estate investing, it is indeed those three things more inflation, a prolonged scarce housing supply, and astoundingly good demographics for rental demand. That's what will be the same. And now you have the basis for a sustainable wealth strategy. The bottom line is that even if it comes to a sudden stop, the addition of an all time record 3.8 million Americans in one year, that has left an indelible mark on real estate demand, the economy, and nearly all of society.   Keith Weinhold (00:21:33) - Residential real estate investors are going to own a scarce asset that everyone will need. You're listening to get resuscitation. It's episode 491, and that means that we're just nine weeks away from what is going to be a special, unforgettable episode 500. It's an episode that you probably want to listen to more than one. Coming up in two months on May 6th. And I'll tell you, I really know how to put the performance pressure on myself for May 6th, don't I?, hey, I really want to give a shout out to our great listeners in Columbia. Last month, I spent nine days in Colombia and eight days in Ecuador exploring a coffee farm, checking out urban sites and doing some Andes mountaineering, taking in the best of steak, coffee, chocolate and fruits to. And I've got to say, when Colombians learned that I was there, you Colombians were amazing at reaching out, making me feel welcome, telling me how the show has helped you. Ecuador. And it wasn't quite the same. I love you and your beautiful nation, but frankly, I didn't hear much from the Ecuadorian listeners.   Keith Weinhold (00:22:43) - I don't know why there was a big difference there, but I'm appreciative of some of the South American listenership for a show that's based on about 95% US real estate here. Speaking of listeners and the show, at times, we have listeners here on the show. If gray has impacted your life and you'd like to come on the show and tell us about it, I and our audience like hearing from you and how an abundance mindset and real estate investing has changed your life right into us. At our contact page again, get rich education. Com slash contact and tell us about yourself. We've had some really cool listener guests here on the show, like Grammy Award winning music producer Blake La Grange, the inventor of a home fitness system, Sean Finnegan, and even my former coworker that used to have a neighboring cubicle right next to me, back when I had a day job in a fertile who became a listener. If you think you're just maybe a boring accountant with a spouse and two kids, but Jerry has influenced you, well, you're exactly who we want to hear from a write in and let us know.   Keith Weinhold (00:23:53) - Coming up next, hear the surprising correlation between rents and home prices. Then investor purchases are breaking records in more. I'm Keith Weinhold, you're listening to get rich education. You know, I'll just tell you, for the most passive part of my real estate investing, personally, I put my own dollars with Freedom Family Investments because their funds pay me a stream of regular cash flow in returns, or better than a bank savings account, up to 12%. Their minimums are as low as 25 K. You don't even need to be accredited for some of them. It's all backed by real estate and that kind of love. How the tax benefit of doing this can offset capital gains and your W-2 jobs income. And they've always given me exactly their stated return paid on time. So it's steady income, no surprises while I'm sleeping or just doing the things I love. For a little insider tip, I've invested in their power fund to get going on that text family to 66866. Oh, and this isn't a solicitation.   Keith Weinhold (00:25:01) - If you want to invest where I do, just go ahead and text family to 66866.

And don't quit your daydreaming.   Keith Weinhold (00:26:07) - Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I'm your host, Keith Weinhold. As I like to say, history over hunches, it's easy to have a hunch about how something works in real estate. But take a look at history and see what really happens. History over hunches. So to that point, you might be surprised at the correlation between the direction of rents with respect to home prices.   Keith Weinhold (00:26:31) - Now, the cost of rent has grown over the last 12 years. That's not news to anybody, but many think that rents and home prices move inversely. If demand for home purchases falls, then rents rise, right? No. Instead, they move together. When rents move up, home prices tend to move up to. Rents rose gradually from 2012 to 2020, and they rose rapidly since 2020. Well, home prices, they behaved in a similar way. They also rose modestly from 2012 to 2020, and they rose rapidly since then. Rinse and home prices have therefore been positively correlated. And in fact, I've been investing long enough to remember that when the home price bubble burst from 2008 to 2010, where rents fell a little. Then to an underscore my point some more, both rents and prices bottomed together around 2011. Yes, I think most real estate investors believe that this positive correlation is less likely than that. A movie about Barbie could ever reach $1 billion in sales. Well, that happened too.   Keith Weinhold (00:28:01) - So I simply look at what really occurs when I do my research. It's history over hunches, and that's why these should not be mind blowing discoveries. Just look at what really happens. So if your tenant balks that rents are rising, well, you know what? Home prices are probably rising to the bottom line here with rents and prices being correlated, is that whether it's to rent or own, wait a million homes when the economy grows, that is the real history over any other hunch. Now, as a wealth building show here I am empowering you with the information that you need to improve yourself. You can't follow the herd. You've got two choices. Either you can be a conformer or you can build wealth. Your wealth is not coming from anyone else. Chances are a rich uncle won't be helping you. In fact, getting an inheritance remains a rarity in the US yet as of 2022, data from the Federal Reserve shows only about a fifth of American households had ever received an inheritance at all. And it gets worse.   Keith Weinhold (00:29:21) - According to NYU, the most common inheritance amount is between 10,000 and $50,000. Yeah, that's enough to fund your life for one average month, or maybe one good month, depending on how you're living. The good news is that great listeners and others are getting the message, because last month, Redfin reported that real estate investor purchases are breaking records. Yes, investors bought 26% of the country's most affordable homes in the latest quarter ended, and that is the highest share on record ever. We've got all these on record ever sort of things that we're talking about on the show today. Yes, Redfin let us know that low priced homes are increasingly attractive to investors in today's environment. Redfin agents in Florida and California report that investors are the ones hungry for homes, but they can't find properties to purchase due to an ongoing housing shortage. But we can help you with available supply here at gray. But these overall record investor purchase figures they are, according to a Redfin analysis of county home purchase records across 39 of the most populous US metro areas, not just a couple states.   Keith Weinhold (00:30:45) - There are a lot of investors out there fighting for properties, said a Redfin premier agent in Orlando, Florida. There just aren't enough properties to go around, which is putting a cap on how many homes investors can buy. In fact, single family homes represented over two thirds of investor. Purchases. So congratulations, you are acting. You are making it happen in this canyon, this chasm, this divide that's opening up between the haves and have nots, shrinking the middle class. You are getting on the right side of that. I want to tell you more about being an investor shortly. But first, I have somewhat of a heartfelt real estate anniversary for you, and it has to do with my own family. March 5th, 1974 is a special day. You might note that tomorrow will be the 50th anniversary of that special date. Now look, I can remember every single place that I've ever lived. The modest single family home that I grew up in, college dorm rooms, a pathetic pool house, efficiency apartment in Westchester, Pennsylvania, a condo, a house as an adult.   Keith Weinhold (00:32:11) - Can you can you remember every place that you've ever lived? There's a good chance that you can. It's how intimate, really and important real estate is to your life. And think about how significant you are. You're providing people with a home that they will always remember. This is key. Think about how this contrasts. If you supplied the world with software packages or patio furniture, that stuff is forgettable. You're doing something significant when you help abolish the term slumlord and provide other people with that clean, safe, affordable, functional housing. Well, tomorrow my parents, Curt and Penny Weinhold, will have lived in the same home for 50 years. 50 years in the same home for my parents in sleepy and remote Appalachia. Coudersport, Pennsylvania. I asked my dad about that recently, and he said that when the paperwork with the lawyer was finished, he recalled walking into the house and happily shouting. He was tired of renting. When I visit my parents annually in Pennsylvania, I am still sleeping in the same bedroom of the same home, on the same block in the same small town where they still live in the first home that I ever remember.   Keith Weinhold (00:33:46) - Great job Mom and dad. You committed. You married before you had my brother and I. You're still happy, you're still healthy, and you're still together. You're even in the same home I grew up in. I'm in awe. I won the parent lottery five decades in the same home. You know where the creaky spots in the floor are of that old Victorian place. And when my brother is there, the four of us know right where to sit in our same spots at that same kitchen table. And, you know, as tomorrow is an amazing 50 years there. There are some lessons in this. Find out what the great things in life are, learn about them and commit to them. Like me trying to be the highest man on earth recently, or you buying the property or getting married. So many of the most successful people get diligent and learn and then make lasting commitments. Being a real estate investing devotee is a commitment. Each property that you add is a small commitment itself. I encourage you to act if it resonates with you.   Keith Weinhold (00:35:03) - Learn and grow your portfolio. There are always going to be naysayers that try to hold you to the confines of conformity and mediocrity. So fear, uncertainty. Telling someone that times are uncertain is like telling someone that they're breathing air. Well of course, no kidding. Each condition, uncertainty and breathing air have persisted every day of your entire life. In the year 1920, ten kilos of gold would buy you an average home. Today, ten kilos of gold will buy you an average home. Home prices aren't high so much as the value of the dollar is simply down. Homes are not overvalued by the most timeless financial measure. Gold mortgage rates near 7% are still below. Their long term average. So go forth and build your empire. You can either teach a man to fish or give a man a fish. Here at Jerry, we do both. We teach them in or women to fish at get worse education. Com which this show is a part of and then a great marketplace. Com we give a man a fish.   Keith Weinhold (00:36:30) - We have the supply of housing. You have access to the national providers with the lower cost real estate that makes the best rentals. And starting about two years ago, we added free investment coaching here, giving you that fish and making it easier than ever to get started or get your next property. Play a game worth winning and commit to something worthwhile. If you haven't yet, I encourage you to look into that at GREmarketplace.com. Until next week, I'm.   Speaker 3 (00:37:03) - Your host, Keith Weinhold.   Keith Weinhold (00:37:05) - Don't quit your day dream.   Speaker 4 (00:37:10) - Nothing on this show should be considered specific, personal or professional advice.

Investing in real estate as a nomad might sound impossible. When you're traveling all the time, how can you buy a property, fix it up, find renters, and manage it? As it turns out, there is a way, and it doesn't involve renovations or interviewing potential tenants—or require you to be local to the property. In today's episode I'm chatting with Matt Bowles, longtime nomad and cofounder of Maverick Investor Group, which helps people purchase turnkey properties that already have tenants and property managers in place. He shares why these types of properties are such great investments especially if you're living the nomad lifestyle as well as the benefits of working with a nontraditional brokerage like his and how such an investment can give you consistent passive residual income for  years to come. In this episode: Why Matt wanted to build his own business and how he created more autonomy in his life to travel the world How joining Remote Year brought him community as a nomad, and what influences the pace at which he travels from country to country Why he loves visiting Africa and his recommendations for nomads interested in exploring the continent Everything you need to know about turnkey properties, from what they are to why they're advantageous How Matt's nontraditional brokerage approach works for buyers, and the income and tax benefits that come with owning rental property How this type of real estate investing plays into housing injustice, and how to be a responsible landlord who provides value and a safe space to tenants and the community For full show notes, resources, and links go to www.nomadtopia.com/203.

Today on the podcast I am joined by Matt Bowles, the cofounder of Maverick Investor Group and the host of The Maverick Show podcast. After getting fired out of the blue in 2007, Matt decided to start his own business to take control of his future and create more security for himself. He turned to real estate investing which he has been doing for several years as a side hustle of sorts while working his 9 to 5 job, and so Maverick Investor Group was born. At Maverick, Matt and his partners help investors find turnkey properties in the best markets across the US, and unlike most companies in the real estate space, Maverick has been remote from the very beginning allowing Matt to travel to more than 65 countries and have some incredible experiences like travel across Russia on the Trans-Siberian Railway. In this episode you will learn why Matt decided to create a real estate investment company as opposed to another type of business, why more digital nomads should invest in real estate, the 5 profit sources real estate investment provides you with, and how building Maverick as a remote-first company has given Matt and his partners an unfair advantage over the competition.

Wondering how to convert your brick-and-mortar business into an online business? In today's episode, we explore how to approach the challenge of transitioning from a traditional business model to one you can operate from anywhere in a location independent lifestyle.    Guest, Matt Bowles, is the Founder of Maverick Investor Group and Host of The Maverick Show, a podcast that highlights real estate investors, entrepreneurs, and world travelers. Matt is no stranger to Badass Digital Nomads and he’s back to talk about how to make any business remote.   Matt first shares his story of how he became a digital nomad after getting fired from his job at a non-profit. He then explains how he taught himself real estate investing and ultimately came up with the idea for a related location-independent business, including how he found his business partners and started from nothing.   He also shares examples of how to apply his strategy to different industries and shares several inspiring stories of other location independent career paths, most of which you probably haven’t even thought of before!   Finally, he speaks on the current climate of the real estate industry and details the most affordable and passive way to invest in real estate in 2021 with no prior experience.    Sick of being tied down to your town? Tune in to learn how you can break free from the 9-5 grind, even in a job that’s not traditionally “nomadic.”   TOPICS DISCUSSED/WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: Kristin and Matt’s favorite travel destinations and tips How travelers and digital nomads have responded to the pandemic restrictions How to design a remote business model from scratch Creating a location independent, online real estate brokerage business in an industry that is traditionally brick-and-mortar Real examples of people transforming traditional business models into location independent businesses Shifting your mindset and overcoming fear around switching to remote work Mitigating risk in running a location independent business Questions to ask yourself to fuel your entrepreneurial mindset Real estate trends in 2021   RESOURCES Get your first transfer up to £500 free with a Wise international account (My affiliate link) Travel Spots: St. Emilion, France Sao Paolo, Brazil Related Podcast Episodes – Badass Digital Nomads: How to Create Passive Income & a Location Independent Business w/ Matt Bowles One of the First Digital Nomads from Africa: Agnes Nyamwange Related Maverick Show Podcast Episodes: #5: Jennifer Magee on Running an Architectural Design Company While Traveling the World #13: Daraja Asili on Getting Over 100,000 Paying Customers Per Year to Attend Your Live Events #28: Colin Randall on Producing A-List Music Venues #34: Lydia Baikalova on Running a Wedding Photography Business Remotely #67: How to Produce a High-Quality Podcast #102: Val Schrock on Co-Founding Maverick Investor Group Book: The 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss Videos Mentioned on Traveling with Kristin: Living in Japan as a Foreigner [Weird Japan Things] What I Love About Living Abroad The Challenges of Living Abroad Cost of Living in Spain   CONNECT WITH MATT BOWLES:  Website:  https://www.themaverickshow.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattbowlesmaverick/  Free Resources: The Maverick Show Behind The Scenes Free Report: Real Estate Investing For Digital Nomads Webinar: Minimalist Packing   .......................................................................................................   Thank you to my current 2021 Patrons: Teklordz, Trader Walt, Shawn, Gary, Gary R, Yozhik, Bronwyn, Cynthia, Erick, Yasmine, Mike, Isaac, Michael, Scott, Karen, Erik, Heather, Craig, RZ, Timothy, Richard, Fred, and Lakshay!   My goal is to create a community of 100 Patrons in 2021 - You can become a Patron for $5/month at Patreon.com/travelingwithkristin and see all my YouTube videos first, attend monthly live streams, submit questions for the podcast, and be the first to find out about special offers and guests, as well as the chance to participate in beta programs at free or discounted rates. .......................................................................................................   Support the Badass Digital Nomads Podcast: Become a Patron for $5 per month Leave a 5* Review: https://lovethepodcast.com/digitalnomad  Buy Official Merch  Search All Episodes: www.badassdigitalnomads.com   Connect with Kristin on Social Media:  Follow on Instagram Subscribe to Traveling with Kristin on YouTube  Subscribe to Digital Nomad TV on YouTube Follow on Medium Follow on Clubhouse @KristinWilson Join the Badass Digital Nomads Facebook Group   Podcast descriptions may contain affiliate links of products and services we use and recommend at no additional cost to you.

On this episode Ben Lakoff interviews Matt Bowles on the Alternative Asset Allocation podcast.  Ben draws out Matt's expertise on how to understand the unique dynamics of residential investment property as an asset class. Matt explains the multi-dimensional nature of the asset class and how rental properties have 5 profit centers, compared to most other asset classes that have only one.  They talk about the biggest risks associated with rental property investing and how Matt's company, Maverick Investor Group, helps their clients leapfrog over many of the up-front risks by buying turnkey rental properties that come new or fully-renovated with tenants and local property management already in place.  Matt talks about how residential investment property is the most debt favored asset class, the most tax-advantaged asset class, and one of the only investments that enables you to profit from inflation.   He also explains the importance of owning hard assets, with intrinsic value, that you control.  Matt also gives tips about how to choose investor-advantaged markets, make your money when you buy so you don't have to speculate, and choose recession resilient areas for owning your rental properties.  He also goes into the COVID-19 era trends and shares strategies for real estate investing during the pandemic.   FULL SHOW NOTES at www.TheMaverickShow.com

Income over $75K-$95K does not increase happiness.  Earning over $105K actually decreases happiness. This is based on studies from Princeton and Purdue universities. Then what’s the point of building wealth? You get answers. These surveys do not consider replacing your active income with passive income.  Matt Bowles of Maverick Investor Group joins us to discuss: market due diligence, pandemic changes, and how to use real estate to build lifestyle design. We also discuss changes to the rental market from 2007 to today. Ten years ago, you could buy properties for less than replacement cost. No longer. Markets like Phoenix, Dallas, and Atlanta have largely lost their investor-advantaged status.

DESCRIPTION: On this episode, the tables are turned and Matt Bowles is interviewed by Becky Gillespie about his activism, social justice background and nomadic lifestyle.  This wine-induced conversation off the coast of Dubai starts off talking about Matt's path getting fired from his job, transitioning to become a location independent entrepreneur, building Maverick Investor Group, and traveling the world full time.   It then goes back to trace his history of social justice activism, starting with how his initial awareness of the African-American struggle was raised through politically consciousness hip hop music and how that shaped his academic trajectory to study race, class and gender inequality as well as the colonial processes over Native Nations.  He then explains his decision to do a Master's Degree in International Peace and Conflict Resolution, and reflects on his initial travel to conflict regions like Palestine and the north of Ireland, sharing his reflections on those trips, and his subsequent solidarity activism.  He then shares his experience working professionally in the non-profit advocacy space up until the age of 30, and then making a major life transition to build a location-independent business, but being intentional to ground it in his activist values.  He gives tips on how to make a transition in a way that enshrines your values into the business so you can continue to affect positive change in the world as you grow your company.  And, finally, Matt talks about his current nomad lifestyle, his experiences on programs like Remote Year and Nomad Train, and how he curates the social groups with whom he has epic travel adventures on an ongoing basis.

Caeli Ridge shares her entrepreneurial journey and her path to becoming the owner and CEO of Ridge Lending Group.  She talks about her own real estate investing experience buying over 40 rental properties of her own and also helping tens of thousands of real estate investors build their rental property portfolios with conventional mortgage financing.  Caeli takes us behind the scenes. explains the profit model of a mortgage lender and breaks down the various fee structures of how lenders make their money.  She then explains the larger eco-system of how mortgages are sold, closed, serviced, and then re-sold on the secondary market as mortgage-backed securities.  She then explains why the 30-year fixed mortgage is such a uniquely advantageous product and why it is not offered anywhere else in the world.  Caeli then gives historical context about the mortgage lending dynamics that contributed to The Great Recession of 2008 and why The Great Shutdown of 2020 is entirely different with respect to both lending and home price dynamics.  She also talks about the “mortgage forbearance” provision of the CARES Act and what to be cautious of when exercising it.  She then explains mortgage qualification guidelines and breaks down the criteria for a credit score, assets, and debt-to-income ratio.  She explains that qualified buyers can still get up to 10 mortgages (what she calls “10 Golden Tickets”) but shares which guidelines have tightened up during The Great Shutdown.  She then talks about how to transfer your properties into an LLC and the legal nuances of which you should be aware when doing so.

Matt Bowles dissects the Maverick Investor Group business model and shares 5 tips for building a location independent business in a space that is not traditionally virtual.  He begins by explaining the importance of believing it can be done, ignoring the naysayers and perceived limitations, and surrounding yourself with or at least consuming content by people that have done similar things. Matt shares multiple examples of entrepreneurs interviewed on The Maverick Show that have built business with a location-independent infrastructure that many people initially thought was impossible to do.  He then talks about the importance of reverse engineering your business model to ensure you don't make any geographically restrictive mistakes. Next, he talks about the importance of mitigating any additional perceived risk in the mind of the buyer, and then to go beyond that and to actually make your location independent infrastructure part of your value proposition and explain how it is advantageous to your buyer. Matt provides examples of how Maverick Investor Group does this with their buying opportunities for cash-flowing rental properties that people can buy in the most investor advantaged markets regardless of where they live. And finally, he talks about integrating your location independent lifestyle into your brand identity, using it to be more interesting than your competitors and also to establish affinities with other people that live or aspire to that lifestyle.  FULL SHOW NOTES AVAILABLE AT www.TheMaverickShow.com

Matt Bowles is a partner at Maverick Investor Group. He also hosts a podcast called Maverick Show. Matt has been helping investors invest in Turnkey properties in different markets while he resides out of county. Here are some of the points we discussed: Where are you located and what's your primary job or business? How did you get started in Real Estate? Why Turnkey investing? What are gotchs while investing in Turnkey properties? What kind of rookie mistakes investors make while researching markets and turnkey providers? Which markets are you focused on and why? You can reach out to Matt via this page and get a free report titled "How to Avoid the 7 Biggest Mistakes Real Estate Investors Are Making": https://www.maverickinvestorgroup.com/wealthmatters

Matt Bowles starts off by explaining what “turnkey real estate investing” is, and discusses the benefits of buying and holding residential investment property vs. other asset classes like stocks and mutual funds. He goes through the 5 different potential profit centers you have when buying and holding rental properties—market appreciation, cash-flow, tax benefits, mortgage principal pay-down by the tenant, and a built-in hedge against inflation. He explains the benefits of not having to be the rehabber or the landlord yourself and how buying a performing rental property (that is already cash-flowing when you close) can substantially mitigate your up-front risk. Matt then explains the benefits of buying and “holding” (instead of flipping) your rental property, and why it's important to own the deeded real estate as a hard asset as opposed to buying real-estate-backed securities. And, finally, he explains the benefits of building a portfolio of single-family rental properties as opposed to buying an apartment building. He then teaches how to identify the most investor-advantaged real estate markets—assessing demand drivers, price-to-rent ratios, calculating capitalization rates properly and buying in the “real estate investor sweet spots”. He also covers the essentials for how to conduct due diligence on an out-of-state buying opportunity, the importance of verifying everything independently, and how to find and use third party services. Matt concludes by explaining the business model of Maverick Investor Group, how their niche has been serving individual real estate investors exclusively since 2007, why it doesn't cost any money to work with Maverick, and how Maverick intentionally created an incentive structure that puts the buyer's interests first. He then offers two opportunities to connect with Maverick and either learn more or start building your portfolio of cash-flowing rental properties.

Han har været fuldtids-nomade i fem år og er en rigtig spændende mand. Vi taler om måder at rejse på, ensomhed, netværk, podcasts, kunsten at rejse kun med håndbagage, en kæmpe espresso maskine og meget mere.

Matt Bowles introduces himself and the Maverick Show podcast—the weekly show where he interviews today's most interesting real estate investors, entrepreneurs, and world travelers. Each Monday a new episode will be released where you'll meet an inspiring guest and hear personal stories about their worst failures, biggest breakthroughs, amazing travel adventures, and most valuable lessons learned on their journey to financial success, location independence and lifestyle freedom. As the host, Matt will pull out actionable tips and advice as well as their personal recommendations for the most influential books, resources, tools, hacks and practices that can help you take your real estate investing, entrepreneurship and lifestyle design to the next level.  Matt tells his personal story of how he got started investing in real estate back in 2004, and opens up about how getting unexpectedly fired from his job inspired him to become an entrepreneur. Matt tells the story of how he co-founded Maverick Investor Group in 2007 to help individual real estate investors buy rental properties in the best U.S. real estate markets regardless of where they live. He explains how he and his business partners built Maverick as a location independent business in a space that is not traditionally virtual, and why they give back 10% of their net profits to charities that affect positive change in the world. He also talks about his personal lifestyle design, how he has lived in over 50 countries since 2013, and how his conversations with incredible business owners, real estate investors and long term digital nomads he met along the way helped inspire the creation of this podcast.

How important is "lifestyle design" in your real estate investing business? My friend, Matt Bowles, of Maverick Investor Group has it figured out! He started his company on the fundamentals of Tim Ferris's 4-Hour Work Week, and lives abroad nearly 100% of the time...all while running his business.
