Today on the Wholesale Hotline Podcast (Flipping Mastery Edition), Jerry is joined by Clarissa Mendez to break down her real estate journey. Show notes -- in this episode we'll cover: Clarissa shares how she left her corporate job with no savings, overcame five months of “analysis paralysis,” and landed her first wholesale deal just two weeks after taking real action. She's now closed 17 deals with 4 in escrow, all in under a year—focusing almost exclusively on zero-cost agent outreach using the “555 Method” (5 offers, 5 agent calls, 5 follow-ups daily). Clarissa reveals how relationship-building helped her win a deal $10K under the highest offer, proving that sellers value trust and connection over just price. A breakdown of her biggest win: a $50,000 assignment fee from a land deal in Baytown, where she secured two price reductions by leveraging city pushback and buyer feedback. She explains why getting listings removed from the MLS can unlock bigger buyer pools and how consistent networking has helped her build a rock-solid buyers list—no paid ads needed.    Please give us a rating and let us know how we are doing! ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖  ☎️ Welcome to Wholesale Hotline & Flipping Mastery Breakout! ☎️ Jerry Norton went from digging holes for minimum wage in his mid 20's to becoming a millionaire by the age of 30.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant sits down with mortgage expert Rebecca Carlson from Finni Mortgages to explore affordable property investment in Australia, especially as the federal election brings housing affordability into sharp focus. The duo begins by highlighting the importance of financial strategies for investors, noting that properties under $500,000, particularly in Victoria and western Sydney, are in high demand. Rebecca points out a growing trend of young Australians staying at home longer to save for deposits, allowing them to enter the market better informed and financially prepared, often with just a 12 per cent deposit by capitalising lender's mortgage insurance into their loan. The pair also discuss parents' crucial role in property investment, such as offering rent-free living to help their children save, which can be as effective as providing financial guarantees. Family pledge strategies, where parents guarantee loans, can reduce deposit requirements, with guarantees released once the property's value rises and the loan to value ratio falls to 80 per cent. The duo concludes that, with the right strategies and support, property investment remains an achievable goal in today's competitive landscape.

This Flashback Friday is from episode 312 published last April 10, 2013. Professor Richard Epstein, pioneering Libertarian legal scholar, joins Jason Hartman to explain how income inequality is good for society, but is very dependent on the methods used to produce the best outcome. The current methods our government are attempting to use are causing job losses, it blocks gains in trade, the need for further public assistance increases, which in turn increases taxes, “yet another implicit drain on voluntary transactions,” Richard illustrates. He provides examples to demonstrate the consequences of equality by egalitarian efforts of our government versus voluntary redistribution.  Listen for more details at:  www.JasonHartman.com.    Richard A. Epstein is the inaugural Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at NYU School of Law. He has authored several books, including Design for Liberty: Private Property, Public Administration and the Rule of Law, The Case Against the Employee Free Choice Act, Supreme Neglect: How to Revive the Constitutional Protection of Property Rights, and many more. Richard has written numerous articles on a wide range of legal and interdisciplinary subjects. He has taught courses in administrative law, antitrust law, civil procedure, communications, constitutional law, contracts, corporations, criminal law, employment discrimination law, environmental law, food and drug law, health law and policy, legal history, labor law, property, real estate development and finance, jurisprudence, labor law; land use planning, patents, individual, estate and corporate taxation, Roman Law; torts, and workers' compensation.   He also writes a legal column, the Libertarian, found at http://www.hoover.org/publications/defining-ideas/libertarian-archives, and is a contributor to Ricochet.com and the SCOTUS blog.     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  

Dr. Jason Williams is the founder and CEO of Ironclad Underwriting, where he helps investors simplify and strengthen multifamily deal analysis. With a background as a PhD-level chemical engineer, Jason brings a systems-based approach to underwriting, having transitioned from single-family rentals to large-scale multifamily syndications. He now teaches investors how to build smarter models, avoid costly assumptions, and raise their underwriting IQ.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Jason transitioned from engineering to real estate, bringing over 15 years of data analysis experience into underwriting. Many investors make critical underwriting mistakes by misunderstanding Excel models or relying too heavily on templates without verification. His Ironclad Underwriting model is built for flexibility and clarity, especially helpful when dealing with creative financing. He emphasizes third-party validation for all assumptions—especially from stakeholders who will be executing the plan. Property management can make or break a deal. Vet thoroughly and don't underestimate their impact.     Topics From PhD to Real Estate Pro Jason started investing in 2003 while in grad school and held rentals throughout his career. In 2017, he discovered syndications through Joe Fairless and began scaling into larger multifamily deals. After being laid off, he used the opportunity to go full-time into real estate. Underwriting with Precision Took his R&D background to build underwriting models that minimize user error and reduce complexity. Developed Ironclad Underwriting to “dumb down” deal data without compromising accuracy. Emphasizes that many common models can be broken easily—triple dipping rent bumps, broken formulas, or overwritten cells. Common Mistakes Investors Make Trusting broker/owner numbers without verification. Over-projecting rent growth based on temporary trends. Blindly following a coach or a guru's assumptions without understanding the logic. Using inherited underwriting models that have dead or disconnected cells. How to Use an Underwriting Model the Right Way Breaks rent data into: current, property management estimate, and pro forma rent. Encourages using third-party consultants for accurate insurance, taxes, and property management costs. Property managers must be part of the business plan validation process. Navigating the Market Cycle Expects a wave of opportunities as more owners face distress or pre-foreclosure. Believes creative financing will play a larger role—models must be able to handle these deal structures. Warns that relying on outdated assumptions or models not built for flexibility can lead to catastrophic results.

In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, hosts Liam Garman and Emilie Lauer sit down with John Stallman from Stallman IQ to discuss how financial planning intersects with property investment. According to John, properties are a powerful wealth-building tool when paired with financial planning, especially when approaching a portfolio with a patient, long-term approach. While John supports using equity for further investments or passive income when financially sensible, he advises maintaining borrowings below 80 per cent of the property's value and collaborating with trusted brokers. In comparing assets, he notes that shares provide consistent growth, while property enables investors to leverage larger assets with a smaller upfront capital, resulting in greater stability and planning potential. John said that every investor, including middle-income earners, can benefit from financial advice, with his firm launching Super Advice AI, a digital platform offering automated, affordable financial guidance on topics like negative gearing and superannuation. Lastly, John emphasises that successful portfolio growth relies on budgeting, contingency planning, and a solid long-term financial strategy.

In this episode of The Rags to Riches Show, I break down how sales skills helped me go from knocking doors at 19 to building a £10M+ property portfolio. Property investing isn't just about numbers, strategies, or location — it's about selling. Selling yourself, your deals, your vision, and your value. I share real-life examples of creative deals I've secured (like lease options and delayed completions), how I've negotiated huge discounts from agents and vendors, and how these skills helped me raise millions in investor finance. If you want to buy more properties with less money down, this episode will show you exactly how I've done it using sales.

What if one leap of faith could change your life forever? In this episode of Invest2FI, Nathan Robbins shares how he left a $75,000 banking job and stepped into the world of real estate with no formal experience—only determination and a 90-day contract offer from investor Tarl Yarber. He explains how that decision led him to work on over 30 to 40 flips per year in the Seattle-Tacoma market and eventually build his own investment portfolio. Nathan breaks down the numbers and strategy behind his first solo deal: a $185,000 purchase that he renovated with $60,000, refinanced, and later added a detached Airbnb unit. That same property now appraises at over $700,000 and cash flows between $1,500 to $2,000 per month. He talks through zoning rules in Tacoma, shares how he handled the financing with a private money lender, and explains why betting on himself—even with skydiving in his contract—was the right move. He also shares his cold-call script and objection-handling worksheet used to secure off-market properties. This episode is packed with real numbers, lessons from the field, and examples from someone who built long-term success by starting small and staying consistent. PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS:[04:14] Nathan shares how a failing corporate path led him to real estate [05:48] He meets Tarl Yarber and remembers buying Carlton Sheets' tapes [07:51] The life-changing 90-day contract and leaving his job at the bank [10:47] Nathan explains his acquisitions role and onboarding investment properties [11:18] Compensation differences between working at a bank and real estate [14:02] Overcoming fear, skydiving, and betting on performance-based income [18:59] Nathan's “Forreal deal” story and building a high-cash-flow ADU [22:41] Converting a garage into an Airbnb unit and zoning limitations [24:29] Property breakdown: bought at $185K, now worth nearly $700K [26:19] Why wholesalers are gold for flippers and how to work with them [34:35] Managing six doors and the emotional side of partnerships [35:10] How he made $196K on his first independent flip outside Fixated [50:53] Where to connect with Nathan and get his cold-call script HOST Craig Curelop

The duo also explores the roles of buyer's agents, mortgage brokers, accountants, and others, highlighting the value of team synergy, using sports team analogies to stress how coordinated professionals outperform individual efforts.

Nineteenth-century American economist Henry George blamed poverty and depressions on landlords. George argued that their rents were associated mainly with public investments and should be shared with the community. Show host Gene Tunny speaks with returning guest John August about Georgism—the economic philosophy of Henry George that advocates for a single tax on land value. They explore the ethical and economic arguments behind taxing land, its historical popularity, and how it is perceived today. The discussion covers economic rent, speculation, tax distortions, and housing policy, critically examining Georgism's assumptions and limitations. John is the Fusion Party candidate for Bennelong in the upcoming Australian federal election. Please let Gene know your thoughts on Trump's tariffs and any questions or comments regarding this episode by emailing Gene at contact@economicsexplored.com.TimestampsIntroduction (0:00)John August's Background and Campaign (4:19)Georgism and Its Influence (7:25)Economic Theory and Georgism (11:35)Critique of Georgism (16:19)Land Value Taxation and Economic Rent (23:15)Impact of Georgism on Economic Policy (31:54)Conclusion and Future Discussion (49:33)TakeawaysGeorgism, developed by Henry George in the 19th century, proposes a radical approach to taxation by advocating for a single tax on land values to address economic inequality and reduce speculation.While most economists reject Georgism, the theory continues to have passionate advocates who argue that land value taxation could create a more productive and just economic system.The Georgist perspective highlights how public infrastructure and community development can increase land values, creating unearned income for property owners without compensating the broader community.Modern Georgists have moved away from the original concept of a 100% land value tax, instead advocating for a significant increase in land value taxation as part of a broader tax reform strategy.The theory raises important questions about property speculation, economic rent, and the potential for less distortionary forms of taxation that could promote more equitable economic development.Links relevant to the conversationJohn's federal election campaign website: John August for Bennelonghttps://www.fusionparty.org.au/john_august_bennelongGrand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius - Nasar, Sylviahttps://www.amazon.com.au/Grand-Pursuit-Story-Economic-Genius/dp/0684872986Fixing Australia's Housing Crisis: Fusion's Plan w/ Owen Miller – EP277https://economicsexplored.com/2025/03/27/fixing-australias-housing-crisis-fusions-plan-w-owen-miller-ep277/Trent Saunders and Peter Tulip's RBA Discussion Paper “A Model of the Australian Housing Market”:https://www.rba.gov.au/publications/rdp/2019/2019-01/Lumo Coffee promotion10% of Lumo Coffee's Seriously Healthy Organic Coffee.Website: https://www.lumocoffee.com/10EXPLOREDPromo code: 10EXPLORED Full transcripts are available a few days after the episode is first published at www.economicsexplored.com.

Episode 2529 - Ted does a hilarious impression of a woke Starbucks employee! Never eat these foods to reduce wrinkles. What is the primordial servant. Property tax and housing collapse. Fit food and purple sticks will give you a kick. Great green show today!

On today's show we are talking about a property that we placed an offer on, which is failing in due diligence. Failing in due diligence is one of two ideal outcomes. Of course we would prefer if a project met all of the criteria for investment, we would buy it at a substantial discount to the market value, and we would have lots of upside potential.Anything less and we would rather pass on the opportunity.The property itself has the potential to be a good investment opportunity. The artificial process that is being forced by the auction environment that the seller is trying to create is causing compounding the risks for the buyer. It's that process which is compressing the timeframes and making proper due diligence impossible. I'm not at all worried about whether we could diligence the property and scope the remaining improvements. The property would need to be entirely rebranded and launched as a new offering in the market. The artificial constraints being imposed by the auction environment are disqualifying the property for us. Maybe said another way a cash buyer might have the appetite for the added risk, and perhaps in that sense, the auction process is disqualifying us as a buyer because we simply require more due diligence.--------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Brookings Senior Fellow Andre M. Perry has a new book out today which measures what he calls the “racial gap” in America and asks what we can do to close it. Entitled The Black Power Scorecard, it draws on extensive research and analysis to quantify how much power Black Americans actually have. Using big data metrics, Perry compares Black communities to each other rather than to white populations to highlight local progress and solutions. The results are more encouraging that some might think. Perry argues for investing in Black-owned businesses and assets, noting they often deliver high quality products and services despite receiving less revenue. More W.E.B. Du Bois than Booker T Washington, Perry advocates for structural change while recognizing the importance of local solutions, rejecting the notion that Black communities must rely solely on Booker T's self-help doctrine. Five Key Takeaways * Perry's "Black Power Scorecard" focuses on factors that promote Black thriving rather than deficits, identifying 13 key predictors of life expectancy including home ownership, income, and clean air.* His research compares Black communities to each other rather than to white populations to highlight local progress and solutions that are often masked by national aggregate statistics.* Data shows Black-owned businesses often score higher on quality metrics (Yelp ratings) yet receive less revenue, demonstrating both quality and systemic barriers.* Perry argues that investing in Black communities benefits everyone, rejecting zero-sum thinking while still acknowledging the need to address specific discriminatory practices.* He takes a "Hamiltonian" structural approach, believing change requires both local solutions and government/corporate involvement, rejecting the notion that Black communities must rely solely on self-help.Andre M. Perry is a senior fellow and director of the Center for Community Uplift at the Brookings Institution. He is also a professor of practice of economics at Washington University in St. Louis. A nationally known and respected commentator on race, structural inequality, and education, Perry is the author of the forthcoming book “Black Power Scorecard: Measuring the Racial Gap and What We Can Do to Close It,” published by Henry Holt, available April 15, 2025 wherever books are sold. In 2020, Brooking Press published Perry's previous book, “Know Your Price: Valuing Black Lives and Property in America's Black Cities.” Perry is a regular contributor to MSNBC and has been published by numerous national media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Nation, Bloomberg CityLab, and CNN.com. Perry has also made appearances on HBO, CNN, PBS, National Public Radio, NBC, and ABC. Perry's research focuses on race and structural inequality, education, and economic inclusion. Perry's recent scholarship at Brookings examines well-being across racial groups and regions in America, focusing on how investments in critical assets can lead to thriving.   Perry's pioneering work on asset devaluation has made him a go- to researcher for policymakers, community development professionals, and civil rights groups. Perry co-authored the groundbreaking 2018 Brookings Institution report “The Devaluation of Assets in Black Neighborhoods,” and has presented its findings on the price of homes in Black neighborhoods across the country, including to the U.S. House Financial Services Committee. He has extended that report's focus on housing in Black neighborhoods to include other assets such as businesses, schools, and banks.  A native of Pittsburgh, Perry earned his Ph.D. in education policy and leadership from the University of Maryland, College Park.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

Today's first caller has $200k in equity in his primary home. He's thinking about leveraging his equity in order to pay off a rental property. Is that a good idea? That's the first question I'm answering on today's show! This encore Q&A episode of Investing in Real Estate features three great listener questions on using equity to pay off debt, what to consider before you sell a rental property, and changes to the mortgage interest deduction in 2025.

Jason announced changes to the podcast schedule and discussed economic trends, particularly in the housing market. He emphasized the importance of adapting to market realities and taking calculated risks in real estate investment. He also covered various aspects of the current economic landscape, including inflation's impact on housing, mortgage market stability, and the potential for future market shifts. Despite persistent interest rates and prices, some homebuyers are entering the market due to life events, realizing they "can't pause their life." This signals buyer capitulation and acceptance of current market realities. While sales volume initially dropped, it has rebounded as people adjust expectations. Younger buyers are increasingly looking at more affordable metros. Low loan-to-value ratios (47% average) provide a significant equity cushion, mitigating risks of a housing crash. Rising construction costs and potential labor shortages due to immigration policies may further impact housing prices. Investing in real estate remains a historically proven and tax-advantaged strategy amidst a long-term housing shortage.

Nicole and Diana discuss citing digitized records from FamilySearch. Nicole explains that FamilySearch has billions of digitized records that can be attached, downloaded, or added to a research log. They emphasize the importance of precise source citations. Diana illustrates the challenge of citing digitized microfilm records, using an example from Russell County, Alabama's Orphan's Court Docket. She explains that the same record can be accessed through "Images" or the FamilySearch Catalog, resulting in different image numbers and citations. Diana discusses how viewing the same record through different "image group views" changes the image number and citation, even with the same URL. She shares tips for creating clear FamilySearch citations, including citing the physical information, digital information with the full URL, and the original holder of the image. Diana also mentions how cutting off the URL before the question mark leads to a different view of the record. Nicole reiterates the importance of using both "Images" and the "Catalog" for complete research and emphasizes that clear source citations allow researchers to return to the source at any time. Listeners will learn how to properly cite digitized records on FamilySearch, navigate different views of the same records, and avoid confusion in their genealogical research.

Corroded cars, broken-down trucks and dusty motorcycles have piled up on two lots in Englewood.For years, families have been forced to live next to the collection of mangled vehicles and junk. Still, no one has taken responsibility for the junkyard on the 7100 block of South Normal Boulevard.Public records identify a North Side man as the agent of a company that owns one of the junkyard lots, but he said he doesn't own it anymore and won't answer questions about it.And the other lot is owned by the city itself.Reporter - Atavia ReedHost - Jon HansenRead More HereToday's Sponsor - Women EmployedFind out more about The Working Lunch Thursday, May 22, 2025 HERE Want to donate to our non-profit newsroom?

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

Send us a textIt is truly hard to believe that we are approaching the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. As many of you are well aware at this point, Pastor Harris, was the pastor of First United Methodist Church, which is situated directly east of the OKC bombing site.  Pastor Harris was at the church that day, and we have shared his story both in audio podcast as well as video on our YouTube channel.  However, in this episode we will hear from Kris Skinner, a cherished family friend and a former employee of First Church that was there meeting with Pastor Harris at the moment the bomb went off on that day that for many has been frozen in time.As a reminder, we have published several OKC Bombing related episodes over the life of this podcast. Four that I will mention specifically. There is episode 50 which features the sermon Pastor Harris delivered April 16th 1995, just three days before the bombing, this would be the last sermon that would be delivered in that 100 year old sanctuary. In episode 51 we hear from Pastor Harris as he tells his story of the day of the bombing. In episode 52 we feature an interview we had with OKC Bombing Survivor, Arlene Blanchard who was in the Murrah Building when the bomb went off. Arlene had attended “Loves & Fishes”, a lunch Bible Study that First Church facilitated and Pastor Harris taught for many years. In this discussion with Arlene, she reveals one word that Pastor Harris taught on that gave her the strength to persevere. And finally, in episode #100 we feature the story of a surprise concert that Rich Mullins himself gifted the people of First United Methodist Church.Support the show

Kurt Sutter and Katey Sagal are the Hollywood power couple behind “Sons of Anarchy,” numerous iconic performances, and hosts of the podcast “PIE.”   This conversation strips bare the intoxicating trap of fame, the parallel paths that led them both to sobriety at 31, and the brutal honesty required to save their relationship when “money, property, and prestige” threatened everything.   Kurt's evolution from Hollywood's combative bad boy to spiritual seeker alongside Katey's unflinching wisdom on intimacy creates a masterclass in reinvention.    They're authentic. They're vulnerable. Their journey might change how you think about success.
