This Flashback Friday is from episode 283 published last October 26, 2012.  Between 1980 and 2000, the wealth of our nation grew enormously. Interest rates dropped, dot com businesses grew, and then the housing market was rocketing. We then went into a tricky period where overall net worth grew a bit until the dot com crash; the middle class was sustained to some degree by the housing boom, and then dropped sharply with the housing crash. Dr. H. Woody Brock, President and Founder of Strategic Economic Decisions and author of American Gridlock, joins Jason Hartman for an in-depth explanation of the financial health of our nation across social classes. Dr. Brock discusses the nation overall and then breaks it down into the rich, the middle class, and the poor. The distribution of wealth have left the poor worse off and the rich very well off, as well as shrinking the middle class, but as Dr. Brock explains, looking at the distribution of consumption, the poor and middle classes are in a better position than when looking at the distribution of income. Dr. Brock also expounds on QE3, the Federal Reserve actions, bank reserves, de-leveraging, and more. He wraps up on the subject of his book, American Gridlock: Why the Right and Left are Both Wrong. Founder of Strategic Economic Decisions (SED), Inc., Dr. Horace “Woody” Brock specializes in applications of the modern Economics of Uncertainty (originally developed and championed by Kenneth J. Arrow of Stanford University) to forecasting and risk assessment in the international economy and its asset markets. Holder of five academic degrees, Dr. Brock earned his B.A., M.B.A., and M.S. (mathematics) from Harvard University, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Princeton University (mathematical economics and political philosophy). He was elected an Andrew Mellon Foundation Bicentennial Fellow of the Aspen Institute in 1976. Dr. Brock studied under Kenneth J. Arrow, Professor of Economics, and John C. Harsanyi, Professor of Economics, University of California, Berkeley, both winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics. Dr. Brock founded SED in 1985, and in doing so was sponsored by Fidelity, GE Capital, IBM Pension Fund, and twenty other institutions looking for a much deeper level of analysis of interest rates and the economy. In its research, SED has focused on apprehending ongoing structural changes in the economy and markets to help clients avoid the pitfalls of illegitimately extrapolating the past into the future. In this regard, Dr. Brock has worked closely with Professor Mordecai Kurz of Stanford University in developing the new theory of Rational Beliefs that is now replacing the classical theory of “Efficient Markets”. This new theory explains for the first time the way in which history rhymes but does not repeat itself.     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  

As the CEO of Real Estate Done 4 U, Michael Drew has helped hundreds of investors worldwide achieve their retirement goals through strategic investments in rental real estate, utilizing Cash, IRAs, Mortgages, and 1031 Exchanges helping investors replace their W2 / earned income with RENTAL INCOME.  With experience that includes over 1000 real estate transactions and extensive stock option expertise, he focuses on developing sustainable passive income strategies. Michael's journey into real estate investment was driven by a critical insight: traditional savings and retirement accounts often fail to deliver the necessary growth to secure financial futures. After purchasing his first few rental homes, he recognized the unparalleled benefits of real estate investments. The steady stream of rental income not only provides financial security but also preserves the principal investment – the property itself. As living costs rise, so do rents, ensuring that real estate investments remain a robust hedge against inflation.  In his personal time, Michael enjoys traveling with his family of four kids, adventure racing, pickleball, skiing, and speaking at conferences. His passion for real estate and dedication to helping others achieve financial independence continue to drive his professional and personal endeavors.  As Michael often says, "Don't wait to buy real estate; buy real estate and wait." What You Will Learn: Who is Michael Drew? What inspired Michael Drew to transition from a stock market focus to real estate investing? What does Michael mean when he says getting wealthy is mainly a math problem? How does Michael define passive income in relation to real estate? What factors does Michael consider when choosing investment locations? What strategies does Michael recommend for stacking the odds in favor of successful investments? How does Michael manage properties and maintain cash flow for his investors? How does Michael assess a potential investor's situation before making recommendations? What are the steps involved in purchasing a property through Michael's model? How does Michael approach 1031 exchanges for his clients? What unique advantages do certain professions have when it comes to investing in real estate? How does Michael help clients who are busy with their careers to invest passively? Why is it important for investors to focus on cash flow rather than just asset appreciation? How does Michael build long-term relationships with his clients? What strategies does Michael use to maintain communication and trust with his investors? Michael shares his contact information so that everyone can reach him.

Assemblymember Dr. Corey A. Jackson Advances Legislation to Lower Home Prices and Increase Housing Stock SACRAMENTO — Assemblymember Dr. Corey A. Jackson (D-Moreno Valley) has taken decisive action to address California's housing crisis by authoring AB 317, the First Time Homeowner Act, a bill designed to boost affordable housing production by eliminating unnecessary regulatory delays. The legislation passed the Assembly Floor last week with strong bipartisan support and now heads to the Senate. California faces a shortage of up to 2 million homes, driving the median price above $800,000. AB 317 directly addresses this by making it easier to build affordable starter homes, especially in underserved regions like the Inland Empire. AB 317 creates a targeted exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for modest, first-time homebuyer developments. It applies to homes 1,500 square feet or less, with no more than three bedrooms, priced under $400,000, and built specifically for first-time buyers. By streamlining the approval process for these homes, the bill aims to increase supply and reduce costs for working families. “This bill is a commitment to first-time homebuyers and to making California more affordable,” said Assemblymember Dr. Corey A. Jackson. “We can protect the environment and still cut through red tape that blocks families from owning a home. AB 317 is about building homes faster, affordable, and for the future of our communities.” Dr. Jackson's leadership directly challenges the idea that Democrats are not serious about lowering costs for Californians. AB 317 is a common-sense solution: build more homes, build them faster, and bring down prices through increased supply.

In this conversation, OP Almaraz and Steve Severaid discuss the ongoing challenges faced by homeowners in the aftermath of the Palisades Fire. They delve into the complexities of insurance claims, the importance of understanding additional living expenses, and the unique difficulties associated with total losses. The conversation emphasizes the need for thorough documentation and proactive communication with insurance companies to navigate the recovery process effectively. They also highlight the long-term implications of rebuilding in affected areas and the importance of being prepared for the challenges ahead. This conversation delves into the complexities of insurance and the impact of wildfires on communities. It discusses the new legislation regarding insurance replacement policies, the challenges of underinsurance, and the importance of accurate coverage. The speakers emphasize the need for homeowners to conduct annual policy reviews and understand the implications of their insurance decisions. They also explore the financial challenges faced by homeowners post-wildfire and the ongoing need for awareness and preparedness in the face of natural disasters. Highlights: 00:00 Introduction to the Palisades Fire Impact 03:01 Navigating Insurance Challenges Post-Fire 06:04 Understanding Additional Living Expenses 09:02 Total Losses and Rebuilding Challenges 12:11 The Importance of Documentation and Digital Scans 14:59 The Long Road to Recovery 17:53 The Future of Rebuilding in Affected Areas 29:41 The Impact of Wildfires on Communities 31:58 New Legislation and Insurance Replacement Policies 34:28 Understanding Insurance Limits and Underinsurance 36:39 The Importance of Accurate Insurance Coverage 41:05 Annual Policy Reviews and Homeowner Responsibilities 43:45 Risk Transfer and the Value of Insurance 44:25 Mortgage Implications After a Loss 48:04 Navigating Financial Challenges Post-Wildfire 51:34 The Ongoing Need for Awareness and Preparedness Takeaways The Palisades Fire has created a complex recovery situation for homeowners. Insurance companies respond differently to claims, complicating the process. Homeowners must advocate for their specific needs during recovery. Environmental contaminants pose new challenges for cleaning and restoration. Patience is essential when dealing with insurance claims post-fire. Additional living expenses can be negotiated with insurance companies. Total losses present unique challenges in the rebuilding process. Documentation, including digital scans, is crucial for claims. Communication with insurance adjusters must be documented to avoid issues later. Rebuilding in affected areas will take time and may be chaotic.  People are selling their homes due to the impact of wildfires. New legislation allows homeowners to buy new properties without land value deductions. Many homeowners are underinsured, leading to financial challenges after a loss. Insurance policies often do not reflect the true cost of rebuilding. Homeowners should conduct annual reviews of their insurance policies. Extended replacement costs should not be relied upon for coverage calculations. Insurance is a risk transfer tool that protects homeowners financially. Mortgage companies typically hold insurance payouts in trust accounts during rebuilding. Some homeowners are considering selling their lots after a loss. Awareness and preparedness are crucial for homeowners in wildfire-prone areas.  

In August 2024, Sean "Diddy" Combs paid off the $18.8 million mortgage on his $48.5 million mansion located on Miami's Star Island, anticipating his imminent arrest on charges related to sex trafficking, racketeering, and illegal prostitution. Diddy's legal team made this move in preparation for his bail hearing, aiming to use the mansion as part of a proposed $50 million bond package. His attorney, Marc Agnifilo, described the decision as a "terrible business decision," done to build trust and demonstrate Diddy's commitment to facing the legal proceedings.Despite these efforts, including offering six passports as further evidence that Diddy wasn't a flight risk, the judge denied his bail request, citing concerns about potential interference with the ongoing investigation or the possibility of him fleeing the country. Diddy was subsequently remanded into custody to await trial​.Bonus:Freddy P, a former member of Da Band, has made serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, claiming that Diddy threatened his life during their time working together. In recent interviews, Freddy P described a heated exchange where Diddy allegedly threatened to "buy every house on [Freddy's] block," cut off the power, and have him killed if he didn't comply with Diddy's demands. This incident, according to Freddy, led to his decision to leave the group and distance himself from Diddy altogether.Freddy also spoke about the mental toll these experiences had on him, revealing that Diddy's behavior contributed to his severe depression, and he even contemplated suicide. Freddy further alleged that Diddy exploited people in vulnerable situations, preying on those who needed financial help(commercial at 8:21)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy paid off $19M Miami mortgage before arrest (nypost.com)Freddy P Alleges Diddy Sexually Assaulted Multiple Men (yahoo.com)

Tariffs, fluctuating interest rates and increasing home prices – what does it all mean for the Atlanta housing economy? Leslie Appleton-Young, chief economist with First MLS (FMLS), joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss the current state of the Atlanta housing market. Pending Sales and Interest Rates Interest rates are not dropping significantly, leading pending sales to be very sensitive. Appleton-Young mentions that 25% of sales are all-cash transactions made by older generations with higher incomes and established equity in their current homes. This affects first-time homebuyers who want to purchase a home but are limited by student loan debt and past inabilities to save. Mortgages are also expected to remain at 6% this year, putting a damper on affordability and market stability. On a larger scale the economy is uncertain, but not yet at a crisis level. Consumers worry about the 10% tariffs; however, they are not “deal-breakers” and are not likely to send the economy into a spiral alone. Appleton-Young said, “I think it's just anticipating. If we were to have these huge tariffs that are kind of put out there and then pulled back, it would be a major dislocation for the economy.” “Lock-in Effect” on Resale Inventory Inventory is slightly above pre-pandemic levels, especially in areas with new construction. Older generations stayed “locked-in” at their current homes to avoid higher interest rates, but now the market has slowed down, and those resale homes are sitting on the market for longer. Earlier this year, resale inventory remained on the market for an average of 12 days. Now, it's closer to 26 days. New Construction Homes “Georgia's much better positioned because there is a more supportive environment for new construction than you find in other states,” said Appleton-Young. “That's why, when you look at the national numbers, just take a check back and realize that Georgia is typically doing better.” The median home price in Georgia is $381,000 and $444,000 in Atlanta. When people enter the Atlanta housing market from higher-priced states like California, there is often a thought of, “Wow, this is affordable.” For Atlanta natives, that is not the case, and they are forced to rent long-term. Homebuilders are combatting that with enticing rate buy-downs, while many homebuyers have pivoted to multigenerational housing. With more family members under one roof, everyone can pitch in and connect without leaving home. “I do think there are listings happening because people are like ‘Enough. I want to downsize. I want to move to a different state. I want to be closer to my grandchildren. I want to buy that multigenerational house,'” said Appleton-Young. She anticipates that prices will rise 1% to 3% this year, just not as quickly as years prior. This slowdown is likely due to increased equity among homeowners. Tune in the full episode to discover more housing market predictions and what to expect when buying a home this year. For more about FMLS, visit www.FirstMLS.com.

Episode 3177: Jeremy Jacobson challenges the conventional wisdom of including home equity in retirement budgeting, emphasizing that doing so can create dangerous blind spots, especially during market downturns. By treating home equity separately and recognizing the benefits of imputed rent, retirees can protect their portfolios and maintain spending power without being forced into selling their homes or taking on unnecessary debt. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.gocurrycracker.com/mortgages-home-equity-and-retirement-spending/ Quotes to ponder: "Home equity is not included in our net worth for budgeting purposes. I plan to spend less than 4% of the remainder." "Exclude home equity from the portfolio." "Debt is leverage, which multiplies returns and losses."

Henry Washington couldn't even be on the mortgage for his first home—his credit was so bad he had to be removed from the loan. But instead of giving up, he fixed his credit, got resourceful with funding (including borrowing from his wife's 401k), and now owns 130+ rental properties and flips houses for $35k–$60k profit. In this episode, Henry and his wife Jessica share the full story of how they scaled, why they're focused on paying off assets, and how they're adding land splits, spec builds, and short-term rentals to the mix. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - Intro0:30 - Henry Washington's Business1:33 - The Story Of How They Got Started7:38 - Fixing Your Personal Credit10:42 - Getting Their Second Investment Property13:55 - Why He Stopped At 100 Rentals18:01 - Their Numbers With The Flips They're Doing21:05 - Working Together In The Business & Their Flip Designs23:31 - Their Plots Of Land26:01 - Posting On Social Media To Get Deals27:38 - The Spec Home They're Looking To Build & New Focuses For Their Business30:45 - What They Want People To Learn From Their Story34:09 - Incorporating AI Into Their Business35:34 - You Can't Time The Market36:31 - What They Were Doing Before Real Estate40:39 - Close Calls With Deals45:56 - Where To Find Henry46:21 - Outro LINKS:Instagram: Henry Washingtonhttps://www.instagram.com/TheHenryWashington/ Website: Closing Table Mastermindhttps://seeyouattheclosingtable.com/home Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/
