Podcasts about Renting

You know I love a good rental side hustle with recurring revenue and strong ROI. But in this example, there's no equipment to buy, no delivery logistics to deal with, and no tenants' trash in your place, which leads to some really strong margins. John Michael from TownRankSEO.com started this journey just this past February. He is a longtime Side Hustle Show listener who recently started building and renting out simple local websites. Websites are digital real estate. And if the location is right — namely, if it shows up at the top of Google — that could be worth quite a bit to the right tenant. Tune in to Episode 693 of the Side Hustle Show to learn: How to research profitable local niches for website rental What it takes to build and rank these sites quickly Creative ways to find business owners who need leads The unexpected SEO consulting opportunities that emerged Want more?

In this special real estate episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with longtime business partner and trusted real estate expert Tyler Bennett. Together, they break down the realities of today's housing market, the mistakes many investors make, and the strategies they use to build strong portfolios for clients across the country.Jimmy shares how he turned his entire real estate business over to Tyler in 2022, trusting him completely to run deals with honesty and client-first integrity. The two discuss why so many agents still push bad investments, why Utah stopped penciling out for rentals, and how they pivoted to research over 90 markets nationwide to find the best opportunities. They dive into how younger investors can still get into real estate despite rising costs, why patience and strategy matter more than ever, and the importance of saving and positioning yourself to act when the right opportunity comes.From cash flow vs. equity, repositioning portfolios for stronger returns, and avoiding consumer debt traps, to creating long-term freedom through rental income, this episode is packed with practical insights. Whether you're a first-time buyer or an experienced investor, Jimmy and Tyler outline exactly how to approach real estate today with confidence and clarity.

A helpful guide if you're in the market for a new home, including whether it's best to buy or rent — and what you need to know to navigate the tricky real estate market. Also, Austin Butler stops by to catch up and talk about his new movie ‘Caught Stealing.'

What if proving your right to work, rent, or even open a bank account didn't require digging out your passport or waiting weeks for manual verification? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Hamraj Gulamali, Head of Legal and Compliance at Zinc, to talk about how digital identities are changing the way we think about employment, data ownership, and trust. Hamraj brings a unique perspective to the conversation. A barrister-turned-startup leader, he now sits at the centre of one of the UK's most forward-thinking background check platforms. Zinc's mission is simple but ambitious: to make employment identity verification faster, safer, and fairer. But as Hamraj points out, this shift isn't just about convenience. It's about control. We discuss how digital IDs are already helping automate background checks, reduce onboarding delays, and improve accuracy in high-volume hiring environments. Hamraj explains why placing ownership of work identity back in the hands of individuals has the potential to unlock wider applications—from renting a home to streamlining banking processes. But there's also friction. Some industries face structural and cultural resistance. Others fear the cost of digital transformation or worry about public trust. Hamraj unpacks why regulators have both helped and hindered progress. He shares his view on the UK's Trust Framework, the Online Safety Act, and why transparency, retention policies, and robust cybersecurity are essential for building public confidence. As we look ahead, Hamraj offers a clear vision for how verified digital IDs could simplify everyday tasks, slash manual admin, and reduce the compliance burden across multiple sectors. This episode cuts through the noise to offer a calm, informed, and practical take on one of the most overlooked shifts in how we live and work. Whether you're in HR, tech, compliance, or just tired of carrying your passport across town on your first day of work, this conversation will get you thinking about what needs to happen next.

So, is it time to just rent? And when will the Fed lower the interest rates?

A journey that could only be described as a country song come to life. Professional modeler Bruce McRae returns to share his unbelievable cross-country expedition to four  scale modeling competitions – a trip marked by disasters that would have sent most people packing for home.What began as an ambitious nine-week journey across America turned catastrophic when Bruce and his wife woke to find their campsite in Louisiana rapidly flooding in the early morning darkness. With water rising to waist level, they evacuated with their two golden retrievers, only to discover their vehicle disabled and their trailer ruined. Most would have called it quits, but Bruce's models had miraculously survived dry in their elevated containers, and the competitions beckoned.Renting a replacement vehicle at considerable expense, Bruce continued to Florida's Armorgeddon show, showcasing both armor and figure modeling. He highlights the benefits of open judging systems that provide detailed feedback to every entrant, allowing modelers to understand their strengths and weaknesses – a stark contrast to traditional competitions where non-winners leave with no insight on how to improve.The most remarkable aspect of Bruce's tale isn't just his perseverance after a second disaster – when a van ran a red light in Albuquerque and destroyed their rental vehicle – but his unwavering passion for the hobby community. His reflections on different show formats provide valuable insights for competition entrants.Bruce's extraordinary determination reunited him with friends at each show and allowed him to share his exceptional modeling work despite overwhelming obstacles. His story reminds us that sometimes the greatest modeling adventures happen far from the workbench, and that the true spirit of this hobby lies in the connections we forge and the challenges we overcome together.Model Paint SolutionsYour source for Harder & Steenbeck Airbrushes and David Union Power ToolsSQUADRON Adding to the stash since 1968Model PodcastsPlease check out the other pods in the modelsphere!PMM Merchandise StoreSupport the show with PMM Merchandise!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Renting Your Home Is Financial Suicide

Is buying always better than renting? Not necessarily. In this episode, Kris Krohn analyzes when renting actually makes more financial sense than owning a home. He breaks down the real math behind homeownership, and helps you make smarter real estate decisions based on your goals, timing, and financial stage. If you're torn between renting and buying, this is a must-listen.

It's a Crypto Bonanza today we we discuss the new Clarity Act and how it impacts digital currencies. We also chat about the emotional and financial rollercoaster of buying a home in today's market, as Kirk shares about falling in love with a house—only to walk away after discovering many issues the sellers failed to disclose. We talk about how the cost to buy is now far above the cost to rent in many areasb and how sellers are increasingly unwilling to drop prices—even as supply builds and interest rates stay high. We also dig into how real estate, while deeply emotional, ultimately comes down to math, and why renting may still make more sense...  Wee discuss...  The cost to buy a home is currently much higher than the cost to rent, especially in higher-priced markets. Emotional attachment often causes sellers to keep unrealistic home prices despite market shifts. Many markets are seeing a growing supply of homes and longer times on market, leading to price pressures. Real estate equity is a major source of wealth but is difficult to access without selling or borrowing. Sellers tend to suppress or avoid disclosing problems to preserve home value, increasing risk for buyers. Inflation-adjusted home prices show 2025 prices are very high, but official inflation numbers may understate true inflation. Buying a home is often an emotional and personal decision rather than a purely financial investment. Renting can be mathematically cheaper, but many still desire homeownership for personal reasons.  The Clarity Act aims to define regulatory authority over digital assets between the CFTC and SEC, though it hasn't passed yet. Regulation is viewed positively if it prevents fraud without overly restricting innovation in crypto. The banking sector may resist crypto innovation due to potential threats to their traditional business models. Concerns were expressed about government overreach via CBDCs that could control or monitor personal spending. Despite risks, the government already has many tools to combat financial crime without needing intrusive surveillance. Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have risen recently, prompting some profit-taking but maintaining belief in long-term value. MicroStrategy pivoted to Bitcoin investment after years of flat or breakeven performance, using debt and financial engineering to buy more Bitcoin. The history of MicroStrategy's CEO includes a past SEC investigation and company struggles before embracing Bitcoin. The line between genius and stupidity can sometimes be just dumb luck. MicroStrategy's strategy resembles a Ponzi scheme by relying on new money to pay returns and leveraging debt to buy Bitcoin. If Bitcoin crashes, the company faces margin calls and financial stress due to heavy debt.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | ProCollege Planners Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/crypto-bonanza-733

A Note from James:Owning a home has been sold to us as the American dream. But what if it's actually a financial nightmare? In this episode, I talk with my friend Doug Hill about why I think buying a house is a bad idea—not just a little bad, but one of the worst investments you can make. Doug and I disagree on some points, and that's the fun part. This isn't about being contrarian for the sake of it. It's about questioning assumptions that most people never even stop to think about.Episode Description:In this premiere episode of the Crazy Finance series, James Altucher and Doug Hill take on one of the most sacred cows in personal finance: home ownership. James argues that buying a house isn't the milestone of success it's made out to be—it's an expensive, illiquid, and overrated investment. Doug offers a counterpoint rooted in emotional and lifestyle value. Together, they break down the numbers, psychology, and cultural narratives that shape the decision to rent or buy.If you've ever wondered whether you should buy a house—or regret that you did—this conversation challenges the conventional wisdom with real numbers and uncommon insight.What You'll Learn:Why owning a home may be one of the least financially sound decisions you can makeHow homeownership locks you into inflexible geography and limits job mobilityThe hidden costs of maintenance, property taxes, and lost opportunityWhy emotional security often drives people to buy homes, not financial logicHow rental life can be financially and psychologically freeingTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] Homeownership Is a Scam?[01:00] Introducing the Crazy Finance Series[02:00] James's 11-Item Airbnb Life[03:00] Why Freedom Costs Less Than You Think[04:00] The Myth of "Throwing Away" Rent[06:00] What Makes a House a Bad Investment[07:00] Real Estate vs. Diversified Assets[08:00] The Illusion of Home Equity[09:00] Historical Returns on Housing[10:00] "Found Money" and Forced Savings[11:00] When You Never Truly Own Your Home[13:00] Renting vs. Buying: Lifestyle Tradeoffs[14:00] James vs. Doug: Dominican Property Math[16:00] Renting as Freedom, Not Failure[17:00] The 40-Year Trap of the Down Payment[18:00] Recession Horror Stories[19:00] Emotions vs. Economics[20:00] Getting Stuck (Just Like Factory Towns)[21:00] Why James Still Owns a Home (Kind Of)[22:00] Gender, Culture, and Nesting Instincts[23:00] Listener Homework: Is It Really a Good Investment?Additional Resources:James Altucher on Twitter: @jaltucherU.S. Housing Returns Historical Data: Case-Shiller Home Price Index via FREDMortgage Interest Rates: Bankrate.comU.S. Property Tax Statistics: Tax Foundation – Property Taxes by StateChoose Yourself by James Altucher – AmazonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bobby starts with wondering whether the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough deviled eggs sound good or not. We found out who won and lost the draft. Plus, we set new rules for our random letter drafts. A listener had a question if someone on the show started dipping. Bobby talked about this crazy story where police in California seized 21 children, including 17 toddlers, from a couple who allegedly had the children through a surrogacy operation they owned and are now facing child abuse charges. Bobby has the amount of good days that the average American has. We are shocked by how many good days he has per year.
