We're excited to have Dr. Craig Cornelius with us to take a wider look at tilting trikes. We've had quite a few tilters on the webcast over the last few months so I've brought in an expert to share an overview/summary of this cutting edge engineering realm. Craig is the Principal Researcher at HPTS (Human Powered Transportation Systems) who has been involved in the design and development of prototype human-power assisted vehicles for commuting and recreation for over 40 years.Our other segments this month include Honza Galla with the news, Peter Stull with his suggestions for the optimum way for transporting your bent, Tim Segard reviewing the Cruzbike S40, and Nina Paley on her recent experience riding an e-assisted Greenspeed Magnum in Michigan.We finish up with lots of Sports. Denny will have Mike Mowett talking about the recent HPRA races in Waterford, Michigan, Larry Seidman talks about bent participation in the Nebraska Senior Games and bring us up to date on upcoming bent friendly events.**Table of Contents for this month's video**00:00:00 Intro00:00:50 What's on Today's Show00:02:30 Panel Introduction00:04:10 Larry Varney joins us for his health update00:07:10 Sponsor Introduction00:08:50 Recumbent News with Honza Galla00:24:40 Dr. Craig Cornelius presents Designing and Comparing Tilting Trikes01:09:46 Discussion with Craig, Peter Stull and Honza Galla01:22:20 Peter Stull-How to transport your trike 01:28:55 Review Team-Tim Segard reviews the Cruzbike S4001:43:35 Sports Report w Denny Voorhees01:44:00 Mike Mowett reports on HPRA races at Waterford in MIchigan01:56:00 Larry Seidman reports on Nebraska Senior Games and Steamboat Triathalo 02:01:35 Denny wraps up the sports02:02:45 Sponsor Thanks02:04:30 Coming up next month02:06:00 Goodbye to panel and crewPlease subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/ if you haven't already done so.

Greenspeed's Aero is one of the fastest trikes on the road. They also make the more sedate but ever so utilitarian Magnum. What if we raced these two trikes across Michigan and evened the odds by adding a Bosch motor to the Magnum? Meet Wizwheelz executives Marshall and Mark who conducted such a contest this month and hear their exciting stories of this adventure. Also showing up for this jam packed webcast we have Honza with the recumbent news, Jason Dubin with his project to build and race velomobiles with New York City youth and then Ben Goodall owner of Trisled tells us about the newest update to the Rotovelo. With Recumbent Cycle-Con cancelled I've edited Chuck Coyne's interview to reflect the history of the event, Mark Lovegrove from the UK talks about his two e-assist motor installations, Larry Varney reviews the AR3 tilting trike and Denny's sports segment features John McWhae who just completed a record making ride across Alberta in spite of his battle with arthritis.**Table of Contents for this month's video**00:00:00 Intro00:01:10 What's on Today's Show00:04:00 Panel Introduction00:06:45 Sponsor Introduction00:08:25 Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla00:11:00 Gary reads RCC postponement statement from Charles Coyne00:12:00 History and logistics of Recumbent Cycle-Con with Charles Coyne00:22:00 Panel discussion-RCC postponement with Honza, Denny, Larry and Gary00:31:40 Jason Dubin introduces NAVRA-building/racing velomobiles with young people00:42:00 Ben Goodall with new Rotovelo2 update00:56:45 Greenspeed Aero and Magnum race across Michigan01:16:10 Mark and Marshall from WizWheelz talk about current industry challenges 01:19:35 E-assist motor installs on two bikes by Mark Lovegrove01:29:12 Review Team-Larry Varney reviews AR3 tilting trike01:44:15 Sports Report-Denny interviews cross Alberta record holder John McWhae01:56:25 Sponsor Thanks01:58:10 Coming up next month01:59:15 Goodbye to panel and crewPlease subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/ if you haven't already done so.

Ron Thompson is a retired mechanical engineer. He's built a 2 wheeled bent he believes is the 4th major breakthrough in bicycle design. That's a lofty assessment but you owe it to yourself to hear him out. The ability to recruit supplemental hand power on a recumbent bike is the intriguing innovation he'll discuss with us today. The sale of Bacchetta Cycles was in the news since our last webcast. We have former CEO Mark Swanson and new owner Dana Lieberman with us for interviews. Along with the rest of the recumbent news is Honza Galla.The LBR Review Team is back with Peter Stull doing a review of the Greenspeed Magnum BW and Larry Varney evaluating the Steintrike Wild One.Nina Paley follows with her experience buying and upgrading a used Calfee Stilletto.00:00:00 Intro00:00:50 What's on Today's Show00:02:30 Panel Introduction00:05:22 Sponsor Introduction00:07:20 Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla00:13:30 Mark Swanson former CEO of Bacchetta Cycles00:24:00 Dana Lieberman of Bent Up Cycles new owner of Bacchetta Cycles01:26:16 Review Team-Greenspeed Magnum BW with Peter Stull01:38:23 Review Team-Steintrike Wild One with Larry Varney01:21:25 LBR Review Team-HP Velotechnik fs eScorpion 20 reviewed by Tim Segard01:52:00 Nina Paley with her Calfee Stiletto rap and update01:58:40 Sponsor Thanks02:00:12 Announcement02:01:00 Coming up next month02:02:15 Goodbye to panel and crewPlease subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/ if you haven't already done so.

With no political, social, or moral agenda, snarky Austin-based host, Jeff Ward, consistently challenges his audience to examine relevant issues and situations in alternative ways. Ward, who is known for his bold, irreverent commentary on stuff that matters, never leaves listeners without their curiosity piqued, their beliefs challenged, or their minds reeling.

Today we literally get into the weeds with our Italian bent builder Marco Ruga. He has created an amazing off road long wheel base recumbent and will show us how he did it and where he rides it. Then Englishman Alex du Pre (who is a naval engineer) reveals his first recumbent design. A tilting trike/velomobile made initially out of wood. We have two introductory reports: first from TerraTrike on their new GTS touring trike and then Jonathan Garcia is back with the brand new Metabike Mystique. Doug is returns with another gonzo bent road fix and we have two new Review Team segments: Joseph Janning from Germany talks about velomobile wheels and Mickey O'Brien from Laid Back Cycles in California reviews the ICE Adventure trike. Denny will cap it all off with the latest in sports and Honza has our recumbent news of the month.**Clickable Table of Contents for this month's video**00:00:00 Intro00:00:50 What's on Today's Show00:03:00 Panel Introduction00:06:00 Sponsor Introduction00:07:30 Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla00:13:55 TerraTrike introduces the TerraTrike GTS with Jace Cafretsas00:20:35 Long Wheel Base Off-Road Bent Build with Marco Ruga01:01:40 Building a tilting trike prototype out of wood with Alex du Pre01:13:00 On the Road Bent Mechanical Fixes with Doug Davis01:17:25 Introducing the Metabike Mystique 2 wheel bent with Jonathan Garcia01:28:15 LBR Review Team-The Best Velomobile Wheels with Josef Janning01:42:00 LBR Review Team-ICE Sprint X Tour with e-assist with Mickey O'Brien01:50:50 Sports Report with Denny Voorhees and Larry Seidman02:03:10 Sponsor Thanks02:05:00 Coming up next month02:06:00 Goodbye to panel and crewPlease subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/ if you haven't already done so.

We all want to make sure our recumbent purchase transactions are transparent, honest and fair. We talk to Steve and Patti Erickson about their years long investigation into false prestige branding of recumbent trikes. Then Doug Davis shows us how to recognize "knock off" products that look just like the brands you know. Our panel then share their considerable experience with buying and selling bent with eyes wide open. Jonathan Garcia jumps in next with his first look at the ePhoenix 406 LWB from RANS that he helped design. We have two great LBR Review Team segments next. Tim Segard from Bent Revolution evaluates the HP Velotechnik e-Scorpion 20fs and Nina Paley shows us why sunblocks suck! It all kicks off with Honza Galla and our bent news report.00:00:00 Intro00:00:59 What’s on Today’s Show00:02:35 Panel Introduction00:05:50 Sponsor Introduction00:07:20 Recumbent News in 5 with Honza Galla00:17:00 Avoiding Recumbent Scams-Steve Erickson “False Prestige Branding”00:27:00 Avoiding Recumbent Scams-LBR Panel discussion00:50:00 Avoid Buying Counterfeit/Illegitimate Parts-Doug Davis01:11:30 RANS ePhoenix 406 electric long wheelbase bike-Jonathan Garcia from Rose City Recumbents01:21:25 LBR Review Team-HP Velotechnik fs eScorpion 20 reviewed by Tim Segard01:28:40 Nina Paley reviews Easy Racer Recumbent Seat Fix01:30:47 LBR Review Team-Nina Paley reviews sunblocks for bents01:34:25 Sponsor Thanks01:36:00 Coming up next month01:37:35 Goodbye to panel and crewPlease subscribe to us on YouTube https://goo.gl/CHOOgX and Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/laidbackbikereport/ if you haven't already done so.

Among the very few prominent recumbent groups around the world precious few can boast of the long history of racing and designing bents as can the British Human Power Club. We'll chat with club officers Alan Goodman, Barney Harle and Chris Hamilton about their full racing seasons (including the World HPV Championships), member's unusual HPV builds and the early group history with founding member Dave Larrington. Also Dave Ashenbrener returns with an update on his "Lost Recumbent" AR-3 tilting trike which he has now produced and is available to purchase.

“Know Thyself.” If you can do this, you have a much better chance of succeeding in life and work. You also have a much better chance of knowing, valuing, and relating to other people. To know yourself is the beginning of understanding the differences and learning to value those differences. In just a few moments we are going to join a recent call we did for the Flipping America REIA. Our guest is Dr. David Janssen, a specialist in the area of personality make-up. His theory is something he calls Divine Design which is a combination of personality, learning styles, training and experience, upbringing and environment, and much more. Truly a fascinating call and while we were going along, I was trying my best to show you how understanding your own tendencies can help you select (or NOT select) certain real estate techniques or strategies.

Would you ever consider investing with someone who has never lost money on a deal? That would certainly get my attention. I can’t make that claim - I’ve lost money on a few. But today I’m going to have on the show a young man who so far is batting 1000. He’s never lost money on a deal. And he’s been at it for awhile. Blake Templeton is an international motivational speaker, author of the new book ‘The Solomon Way’, With 14 years in business, and 300+ transactions, not one single investor has ever lost money. They are on track to have $100M under management within the next 12 months. I’ve never had someone do this on the show either, but Blake is going to tell us how the wisdom of King Solomon is a model upon which to build a Financial Fortress We are also going to discuss his 3 Dimensional Investment strategy, talk about what that means and how we can use it.

Mystery: Home sales volume drops, but prices remain steady? Brilliant: many homeowners who lose their jobs and incomes will struggle to hold onto their homes You cannot declare a housing “trend” with data from any one-month period. This has never been more true than during the sudden economic upheaval created by the coronavirus and worldwide lockdown. We should probably set aside our normal macro-economic models for awhile and just see what happens when things open back up. Unprecedented events like this create difficulty for prognosticators. So the experts tend to draw on what they know, or from prior events they see as somehow similar or analogous to the current situation. I’m choosing to focus not on cyclical schedules, or stats produced one month after a worldwide shutdown. Instead, I focus on market fundamentals. Interest rates, Avg. days on market, foreclosure and default rates, available inventory, new home starts, and the economy as a whole. The last two are challenged right now. But our calls to investors and realtors on the streets and in the trenches say the market remains strong.

What do you guys think? Anthony, Atlanta, GA “When someone is on a ~30 day foreclosure timeline and has a 2nd lien that you want to short, is it generally feasible to get the short sale done in that short time frame?

It’s OK to start small. But if you start well, and build disciplines around expenses, cash flow and reinvestment of profits, your business will grow and grow until it becomes a juggernaut, which is an unstoppable force, not a bad guy in Marvel comics.

Theoretically we will make a lot more, but it will take a lot longer to do. I think there are unforeseen problems with that plan, but I don’t know what they could be. Can you help me here? Willa Fae, New Port Richey, FL “I have 12 rental houses. Seven of them are paid off. The other five are more than half paid off. I watched a webinar the other day and the gentleman was teaching about returns on rental properties. He said something about return on equity I didn’t fully understand, but I get the idea I should be re-financing all my properties to get the best return. I don’t know what he meant, but I know I’d be putting less money in my pocket every month and I need this to live on.

Your life is a combination of repeated tasks and special projects. Repeated tasks include all of your regular weekly, daily and monthly routines. These are essential to your life and while they may have some variety (i.e. beans instead of fish for supper), their repetition minimizes the need for special or extra-ordinary intervention from your brain. Special projects are those things that interrupt or supplement the normal routine. Weddings, major purchases, moving, special events, and business launches are examples. At work you will have a similar combination of routine activities that keep the business moving forward and special projects that might start something new, improve some routine process, or be some other type of one off or seldom repeated set of tasks. These are projects. You have projects at work, you have projects at home. You HAD projects in school, but hopefully at some point you learned some basics of project management so you can now avoid the mediocre results of deadline-induced all-nighters. This is the topic today and the premise is this: If you learn to manage a project well and apply principles of good project management to all projects, your work and your personal life will improve. Today I’m helping you push to become the best version of yourself. How to contact us www.RogerBlankenship.com. Leave a voicemail right from the home page!

Imagine standing in front of someone you need to impress (a date?, investors, potential clients, home-sellers?) with complete confidence. We’re not talking about false bravado or an over-inflated ego disconnected from reality. We’re talking about confidence that comes from preparation, skill development, knowledge, experience, and a thorough understanding of your weaknesses and what you have done to address them. Confident people do better in business and in life. They generally report a higher level of happiness and life satisfaction. Some people just seem to be brimming with natural confidence. It’s tempting to think they have always been that way, but life experiences and choices shape each of us into the person we are. No one is born more confident than anyone else. The good news is you can gain confidence at any stage in your life. It’s never too late to learn the skills, begin the behaviors, and see results. Realistic confidence is not necessarily connected to your looks, your weight, your brains, but very much connected to a realistic self-understanding and awareness. If you are lacking a little bit of confidence we are going to help you tonight. How to contact us www.RogerBlankenship.com. Leave a voicemail right from the home page!

In the coming months we are going to see a bump in the number of distressed homeowners who need an offer “right now.” Many homeowners do not have enough equity or the ability to discount their houses low enough for there to be an opportunity for an investor to make money. Unless you know how to creatively structure deals to minimize your cash outlays. That’s the topic for the next couple of episodes. Don DeRosa buys a dozen or more houses every year and most of the time he buys using a creative deal structure. He’s joining us today and next time to talk about how this is done. We will be talking about subject-to, mortgage wraps, lease sandwiches, and other options that will allow you to not only say yes to more deals, but get more sellers to say yes to your offers.

The economy can’t stay closed forever. And when it reopens it might not open all at once everywhere. Many experts now are beginning to believe that real estate will lead a resurgence that could impact the entire economy. What shape will it take?

We sometimes take technology for granted in our world. I’m not going to turn this into your daddy’s talk about how he had to walk to school every day 5 miles, uphill each way in rain or snow. But I will tell you that when I started in this business TVs were not flat and phones didn’t take pictures or send emails. Yes things have come a long way and this is not just to tell you that I’m old or I’ve been at this a long time. Both of those are true, but the point is, technological advances make it easier for us to do our jobs as real estate investors. I hope i don’t get to the point (as I know some of my friends have) where I say “I just don’t want to learn another new technology.” That statement ultimately deprives us of conveniences and advances. Besides, one way to fight dementia is to keep learning and keep the brain active. So there. Today we are joined by technology whiz Nick Baldo. Nick started young - just out of college in his hometown of Buffalo, NY and hit the ground running with today’s tech. In time he realized that not everyone made the best use of the technology and seeing a need, he created a niche and another income stream. This my friends is how you do it. Add related businesses and generate income. But this isn’t the Multiple Income Streams show - this is the Real Estate Technology show, so we will get to that in just a few minutes.

News: The shut-downs continue across the country blamed on the corona virus, but now I see an element of politics being injected into the process. Please be a part of what makes this country great. Be a risk-taker. Get out there - do your business. After the initial sheltering worked to keep our hospitals from being overwhelmed, we should assume the mantle of courageous Americans that has forged our incredible history and get this country back to work. Let’s continue to protect the medically fragile, but let us never give in to fear or to the taking away of our freedoms because of someone else’s fear. Ultimately, there is a good chance we will all contract the virus. There’s also a good chance you already have and had no symptoms. Did you know this will be the case with 99% of people who contract the virus? 1% of those people exposed will show some type of significant health problem and of that 1%, 10% will die. It is tragic when anyone’s life is cut short. But it happens tens of thousands of times every single day. You have more risk going anywhere in a car. Since when did our great country become a people who cower in fear? Since when did our people let industries fail and the economy crash because they are too afraid to get sick? The odds of dying are still 100% and if that scares you to think about, I invite you to think about it hard. You and I are going to die someday - maybe soon - maybe a long time from now. It is a blessing that we do not know exactly when. But it also behooves us to prepare now for that one undeniable certainty that comes with this life. Get ready. Now - that’s the worst that can happen. The next worst is to starve and suffer a slow death because you were too frightened to provide for yourself. “Ah but the government has money,” you say. “And the government will help me.” you say. The government has run out of our money. The first stimulus package borrowed from our children and grandchildren. The next one will be borrowing from our great grandchildren. We may dig a debt hole so deep we can never as a nation escape. What will happen then? The government will ultimately have to break some of its promises. We are not in danger of becoming another Greece or Venezuela in the next year or so, but why engage in behavior that leads down that path? Let’s just stop. Face our fears, get back to work, maybe we get sick, maybe we die. But let’s live while we live in joy and purpose not cowering in our homes in fear. Questions: Send your questions to questions@rogerblankenship.com Rodel, Atlanta, GA “Do you know a hard money lender that will let the homeowner carry a second mortgage?” Anthony, Macon, GA “How do you find comp values?” Suzanne, Lakeland, FL “What do I need in order to start a Flipping America REIA group here?” Margaret, Maryville, TN “There is already a group called Flipping Knoxville that is a part of your REIA.

I want to start a group, but I bet you already have a group in Atlanta.” Motivational Thoughts for the day “If you don’t own a home, buy one. If you own a home, buy another one. If you own two homes, buy a third. And, lend your relatives the money to buy a home.” John Paulson, investor and multi-billionaire

Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one — the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.” -The Screwtape Letters by C.S.

The Pandemic of 2020 rages on. And raging perhaps louder than the disease itself is the on-going debate about when and how the economy should open. Protesters are out in multiple metropolitan areas, jobless claims went up another 3 million last week - nearly 35 million now unemployed. Yet the Governor of California this morning announced that the state will remain locked down until there is a vaccine. How about that for a ransom note? Did you know that the vast majority of viruses in existence have no vaccine. A successful vaccine for any virus is the exception rather than the rule. They still don’t have a vaccine for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. They don’t really have a vaccine for the flu. They give you a flu shot which is somewhat effective in protecting you from the flu that was prevalent last year in Asia. If it were an effective vaccine, you wouldn’t need another one every year. Yes I know it mutates, but that’s the problem. Virus vaccines are remarkably difficult. I’m not saying they won’t develop one for COVID-19, but I think it may not be wise to hold forty million people hostage until they do. Those of us that look at the markets, attempting to read the signs, predict and prepare for the future have a difficult job right now as well. We have never seen anything like this. So what should we be doing with our real estate? It's a strange and unpredictable time in the market. Should we buy? Should we Sell? What should we buy? What should we sell? Perhaps we should sit tight? What are the experts saying? You can learn a lot by getting inside the mind of an experienced investor -- someone who has seen the market come and go and knows how to respond. Today we begin a two-part show with two prolific investors on a panel to talk about this. Gordon Catts has been an investor since 1970. He has seen just about everything there is to see in real estate and lived to tell the tale. He’s bought just about every type of asset imaginable and he’s working on a deal right now that will be amazing, but I’m under a non-disclosure agreement, so we will just have to tell you all about it when he wraps it up. It’s big. He is my friend, my mentor, and my go-to guy for perspective on real estate. Chris Larsen is a new friend, recently on this show and the author of the book, “Next-Level Income.” His grasp of analysis is keen and his attention to detail is rare. I read his book and was deeply impressed with his grasp of the small details and their impact on the big picture. They joined me recently for a panel discussion for the Flipping America REIA, a national REIA with a local focus. After launching in January we now have twelve local chapters, mostly across the southeast, but if you’re interested in leading one, let’s talk! Go to bit.ly/talktoroger to schedule an appointment.

What do you guys think? Anthony, Atlanta, GA “When someone is on a ~30 day foreclosure timeline and has a 2nd lien that you want to short, is it generally feasible to get the short sale done in that short time frame? Normal short sales take months usually if I’m not mistaken. .” Cameron, Pittsburgh, PA, “How are you showing your properties right now?” Faith, Tampa, FL, “We have a flip in a hot area where young adults buy. My husband and I have been arguing about the exterior. The house is a beige stucco. I wanted to paint it a playful Florida color, but he overruled me. Now he’s saying the front door is going to be black because it’s basic and neutral. I’m begging you to convince him to let me put a pop of color in there.” Motivational Thoughts for the day “A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.” Francis Bacon
We talk all the time here on Flipping America about getting a hard money loan. It could be that you’re listening and are vaguely familiar with the idea, but it gets kind of complicated quickly when you start talking about all of the variables. Interest rate, term, points, loan-to-value, purchase money, rehab money, percentages of this or that. On today’s episode I’m speaking with Nate Wolosiewicz who runs the Atlanta office for Civic Financial. Together we are going to look at a project and run the actual numbers. We will break down for you the costs, the features, and the benefits of funding your projects this way. And you are going to be amazed at the return - even with the relatively high cost of capital and the relatively large amount of cash it will require from you. The benefits still FAR outweigh the drawbacks. How to contact us www.RogerBlankenship.com. Leave a voicemail right from the home page!

Unfortunately they missed the cutoff yesterday (this was a Friday) and I won’t receive the money until Monday. They have provided the receipt for the wire from their bank and it looks legit. Would you let them move in? They want to move this weekend. Sanders, Toronto, “What are the tax implications for me if I buy properties in Detroit?” Reggie, Lakeland, FL “I saw you on Facebook the other day. Interesting stuff. You were talking about income streams. How do you create multiple income streams all from real estate?” Gemma, Madison, WI, “What are some things I should or should not say to a realtor when first getting into the business?” Francis, Jacksonville, FL “Would you put a new roof on a house when the current one looks a little shabby but doesn’t leak and has 10 years left on it’s rating? It’s asphalt shingles. The bad appearance is caused by tree sap, so I’ve been told. Could we just power wash it instead?” Motivational Thoughts for the day “I guess I just got lucky. I’m lucky my alarm clock goes off at 5 am so I can get to the gym, get a full workout and still be at the office before everyone else. I’m lucky my car can connect with the internet and play educational recordings during my commute. I’m lucky my office has electricity so I can turn on the lights and stay late. I’m lucky that I’m not interested in TV but would rather enrich my life through reading and research. I’m lucky that I learned to push on even when life gets difficult or I just don’t feel like it on a given day. I’m just lucky like that.”
Tom Peters said, ““If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.” No one listening to this show right now is responsible for the pandemic that is destroying the worldwide economy while taking fewer lives than the seasonal flu. It’s a strange and challenging time, but it is precisely during times like these that shrewd people sense the changing opportunities, respond to meet them and make or grow their fortunes. And it is precisely during times like these that people who are close-minded, stuck in a rut, or simply resistant to change will suffer. Today we begin a conversation about the opportunities presented by the world-wide pandemic. We want to be careful to emphasize “ethical opportunism.” We are not here to prey on the misfortunes of others, but there are going to be people that need solutions. It is possible to help people, provide solutions, and make money at the same time. And this is exactly how we should present ourselves - real estate solutions providers. “Most people don’t recognize opportunity because it often comes disguised as hard work.” “Opportunity paged me, beeped me, linked me, emailed me, faxed me and spammed me, but I was expecting it to knock.” How to contact us www.RogerBlankenship.com.
