Jason discusses the current state of the foreclosure market, and the importance of income property as a historically proven investment during times of economic uncertainty. He also presented a chart showing the percentage of loan balances that are 90 days or more delinquent by different loan types and discussed the evolution of automobiles and the current state of auto loans, mortgages, and student loans. Jason concluded by predicting a somewhat stagflationary real estate market and announced an upcoming masterclass and Empowered Investor Live event.

Jason then talks about leveraging debt, particularly in real estate, to capitalize on inflation. Using borrowed money reduces risk and increases returns, especially when investing in appreciating assets. Jason highlights the "Great Inflation Payoff," where inflation effectively reduces loan balances over time. For example, a $950,000 loan, with 4% inflation, decreases to $912,000 in a year. He emphasizes borrowing over lending, as inflation erodes the value of future debt repayments. Tenant-financed debt, where renters cover mortgage payments, maximizes these benefits. #inflation #realestate #investing #leverage #debt #financialfreedom #wealthbuilding #passiveincome #financialplanning #mortgage #ROI Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:29 Welcome to Medillin, Colombia 2:28 A very interesting theory about the FED and the economy 4:51 US Housing foreclosures by Quarter and the housing market 8:35 Percent of loan balances 90+ days delinquent, by loan type 9:28 CAAS- Cars As A Service 12:15 Mortgages, HELOC and student loans 14:38 Sponsor: JasonHartman.com/Connected 15:53  Get your tickets to https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ Jason on Reducing Risk and Leveraging Debt 16:36 Introduction to Leverage and Inflation 19:09 The Great Inflation Payoff and Tenant-Backed Debt and Real Estate Investing 27:53 Constructive Debt vs. Destructive Debt, RV Ratio and Market Dynamics 30:29 Credit as an Asset, Three Stages of Debt Strategy 33:59 ROI, Return on Inflation and the Twofold Benefits of Inflation in Real Estate     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 262, published last June 9, 2012. Countries around the globe are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, with our own country no exception. Jason Hartman interviews Dr. Kirk Elliot, Ph.D., investment adviser with ICA, on monetary and fiscal policy and the irresponsibility of governments around the world. Using Greece as an example, Dr. Elliott states that when governments run out of money, they start doing crazy things. The one fundamental issue in Greece is public debt, over which they lost their autonomy and are now under the rules of the EU. Italy, Iceland, Portugal, France and others are on the verge of bankruptcy and due to that, the EU has been unable to bail out Greece. Across the pond in the U.S., we have lost our credit rating and are losing the reserve currency status with a lack of interest in our Treasury bills and notes. The definition of inflation is an increase in the money supply, and price increases are a symptom of inflation. As more money is printed, it loses value and nobody wants it, which is sending the U.S. down the same tube as other countries in economic crisis. People around the world have lost faith in the U.S. dollar and the country's ability to repay its debt. Dr. Elliott says when interest rates go up, it will open a whole new can of worms with the bond market, which will come crashing down hard on retirees and insurance companies. But it's not all doom and gloom. There are counter-cyclical investment strategies that people should take advantage of that are attached to physical assets, such as precious metals and real estate investments (commodities with universal need.) Kirk Elliott has been an investment adviser with ICA in Durango, Colorado since January of 2002 and has been working in the financial services industry since 1994. Dr. Elliott is passionate about educating and equipping his clients with the information they need to safeguard their hard-earned assets. Dr. Elliott earned his Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration from Walden University. His dissertation is entitled, “An Empirical Identification of an Appropriate Inflation Definition and an Inflation Targeting Monetary Policy.” Dr. Elliott also earned a Master of Arts in International Studies from the University of Denver, and a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Colorado.   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

I recently sat down with Dan Snyder, CEO and co-founder of Lower, to discuss the evolving landscape of mortgage lending. Lower was founded in 2014 and has grown into one of the largest venture-backed home lenders in the United States. Dan is driven by a commitment to simplifying the home financing process through technology. “We're not just building a mortgage company,” says Snyder. “We're creating a comprehensive platform. It will make homeownership more accessible, especially for younger buyers.” Fresh off its acquisition of NeatLabs, Lower's new proprietary platform, LowerOS, promises to reduce the cost and complexity of mortgage origination. Snyder bootstrapped his startup and went on to raise Ohio's largest Series A, showcasing resilience and vision. His journey offers valuable lessons in leadership and innovation. It also highlights how to navigate the challenges of a volatile housing market. The conversation explores key topics like the role of venture capital in professionalizing a business, the strategic importance of owning a full tech stack, and the opportunities presented by serving next-generation home buyers. The Big Ideas Venture Capital as a Catalyst for Growth. “Raising money allowed us to professionalize the business and access top talent,” says Snyder. He highlights the impact of Accel's investment. The Strategic Importance of Owning Technology. “We didn't want to rely on third-party software that didn't align with our goals,” Snyder notes. LowerOS is the result of this strategic decision. Challenges in Serving Next-Gen Buyers. “The average income for first-time buyers is over $200,000. We're working to bring that down by improving affordability,” Snyder explains. Adapting to Market Volatility. Snyder highlights that inventory and interest rates are major challenges. But, technology can help reduce costs and improve efficiency. Combining Tech with Human Expertise. “Even with digital tools, a 15-minute conversation can save hours of back-and-forth,” says Snyder. He emphasizes the value of human interaction.

Jason and Hunter Thompson discussed the current state of the multifamily housing industry, the potential for a buying opportunity, and the dynamics of supply and demand in various markets. They also explored the economic implications of the new administration's policies, the unique aspects of the United States that make it an attractive place for innovation and upward mobility, and the issue of affordable housing. Lastly, they discussed the current market cycle, an upcoming event in Phoenix, and the importance of persistence in securing good deals.

"Concentration is the key to economic results." - Peter DruckerScotsman Guide Top 500 in the Country Loan Officer, Mortgage Executive Magazine Top One Percent Mortgage Originator, Philadelphia Magazine Five Star Mortgage Professional Award recipient, and Senior Vice President of Mortgage Lending at Guaranteed Rate Rob Wishnick is making his long-awaited debut on today's show and we're getting into the nitty gritty of mortgages.  Rob and Jay are digging into Rob's journey through the mortgage industry, whether buying or renting a house is the right move for you, and understanding that if you really want something, you're going to have to set your mind to it and get it done.  We have got a true master class on the show today and we hope you learn as much as we did from the one and only Rob Wishnick.

Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 258, published last May 7, 2012. We are all confused about economic indicators and it's critical that we understand the real figures, the direction of the economy, interest rates and their consequences, and much more. On this episode, Jason Hartman interviews Bernie Baumohl, author of Secrets of Economic Indicators, in regard to the numerous economic indicators and what is most useful. Bernie explains what a “business cycle” is and what happens during the cycle, how it comes full circle over time. Bernie gives examples of stress points in the business cycle. People make mistakes, such as buying more inventory than they need or the economy can't handle the demand of the people. More recently, we have seen longer periods of economic growth, but at a closer look, the mistakes that caused the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression are apparent. It was a “cauldron of fraud and wrecklessness,” says Bernie. Jason and Bernie touch on the subject of the Federal Reserve and the Gold Standard, citing what has been happening in Greece as an example of the limitations of a currency that is fixed and unmovable. Bernie feels that a country in economic trouble needs to have the flexibility to lower interest rates. They also discuss market sensitivity, the index, and the source of the leading market indicators.   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

They also explored the impact of technology on the economy, the concept of currency competition, and the potential for a global financial crisis due to increasing national debt, inflation, and interest rates.

Roman and Jason discuss the decline in measles mortality rates in the US which has fallen by 98% before the first measles vaccine was introduced in 1963. Roman shares data from US vital statistics data and a chart showing the decline and mortality rate for measles in the United States. They also discuss similar data from England, where measles and other health problems were a big killers in the early 20th century, but by the time the vaccines came out, there was almost a 100% decline in mortality. Roman explains that the mortality decline was not influenced by the vaccine at all, as it was due to poor living conditions and the introduction of clean water, sanitation, hygiene, improved nutrition, and a revolution in science. https://dissolvingillusions.com/ https://www.cdc.gov/ Save the date!

This Flashback Friday is from episode 248, published last March 14, 2012. Join Jason Hartman as he opens with some thoughts on buying far below construction or replacement costs sharing an email from Allstate Insurance, then a discussion of an Orange County Register article citing Marcus & Millichap's 2012 National Apartment Report. You'll hear Michael LeBeouf, author of the NY Times best-selling book, "The Greatest Management Principle in the World", where he discusses human behavior and how "What Gets Rewarded, Gets Repeated." In the news: Underwater borrowers eligible for settlement write-downs. A calculation by a Brookings Institution economist narrowed down a pool of underwater homeowners to 500,000 who could qualify for principal reduction from the $25 billion mortgage settlement. Using the parameters of the settlement, Ted Gayer found just 5% of the nation's 11.1 million underwater borrowers could get the principal reduced on their mortgage, first reported by The Washington Post. About $10 billion of the settlement, in the form of credits, will go toward principal write-downs made by the five banks. Only homeowners delinquent on their mortgages are eligible. Gayer eliminated others according to underlying requirements, including Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loans and homes not owner-occupied. It's a rough calculation, Gayer warned, and he made some assumptions in the process. He eliminated any loans not held on the banks' balance sheets, as well as any with a second loan. Mortgage bondholders may not take kindly to principal write-downs, he said.     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
