Regardless of where you’re at in life, Roger recommends having a wealthing account. Entirely separate to a savings account, this account is where you focus on building wealth. As he suggests, a great financial habit to start is to pay yourself first into this account Roger talks about the benefits of taking some risks when you’re younger, why he thinks spending a lot of money on a wedding isn’t the best financial decision, why starting a side-hustle and being entrepreneurial is a great idea if you’ve got the drive and why paying down your mortgage first can make good financial sense.

Roger gives us solid ways of being able to make those decisions by making sense of and evaluating the true returns you’re getting on any investment you’re making.

Why Trust Matters in Money Money and investments work well when people trust them. If people believe something will keep its value (like a house or a bond), they treat it like it's worth more. But if trust drops, so does its value. Markets Move in Cycles The market goes through ups and downs — kind of like a roller coaster. Smart investors know when it's time to be bold (taking some risks) and when to be safe (putting money into steady stuff like gold or real estate). Watch the Clues! You can spot where the market is going by checking: Gold prices (Is it rising? That could mean people are looking for safety.) Bond yields (How much are governments paying to borrow money?) Central bank policies (Are they raising or lowering interest rates?) Stay Calm & Be Flexible The best investors don't panic. They balance their emotions and adapt when things change. Like in sports — sometimes you attack, sometimes you defend — depending on how the game's going.

Brian Tibbs is on a mission to serve people by leveraging his skills and experience in building significant wealth. He is eager to hear your story and walk alongside you in your wealth-building journey. From a young age, it was evident to both Brian and those around him that he was destined to be a businessman. By the age of 26, he had already begun investing in real estate, was an executive in his father's financial services company, and co-owned a small online retail business. However, Brian felt called to a different path. Over the next three years, he married Jill Bramhall, resigned from his father's company, sold his online business, liquidated 60% of his real estate portfolio, and moved—sight unseen—to Guatemala.For the next 16 years, Brian built a team that recruited and trained 380 leaders to plant 96 churches across 11 countries. Together, they raised over $20 million for their cause and constructed more than 150,000 square feet of churches and related facilities. Despite dedicating themselves to ministry, Brian and Jill earned very little money. When calculated against their total working hours, their earnings equated to just $9.20 per hour—less than the legal minimum wage in most states.Even with their limited income, they successfully built a multi-million dollar net worth. They no longer rely on jobs to pay their bills but instead have the financial freedom to choose work on their own terms. Their modest salary forced them to develop a wealth-building philosophy that didn't depend on a high income. It was through this financial constraint that the HACKER Method was discovered and implemented, enabling the Tibbs family to achieve financial independence by Brian's 44th birthday.Although Brian has stepped away from full-time missionary work, his passion for serving others remains strong. He launched The Unexpected Investor with the singular goal of helping people who feel financially constrained transform into wealthy, powerful, and generous investors using the HACKER Method.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Current Economic Perspectives04:46 Investment Strategies in Changing Markets08:39 Brian Tibbs' Journey and Experience12:18 Key Metrics in Short-Term Rentals16:04 Navigating Airbnb's Algorithm and Reviews19:40 Regulatory Landscape for Short-Term Rentals22:41 Navigating the Challenges of Short-Term Rentals25:08 The Value of Specialization in Real Estate26:44 The Growth Potential of Short-Term Rentals27:57 Exit Strategies in Short-Term Rental Investments29:00 The Hacker Method: Building Wealth31:50 Educational Resources for Short-Term Rental Investors34:26 Due Diligence in Passive Investing36:43 Supporting Emerging Entrepreneurs37:41 Investing in Others: A Personal Touch39:02 outro RANDY SMITHConnect with our host, Randy Smith, for more educational content or to discuss investment opportunities in the real estate syndication space at www.impactequity.net, https://www.linkedin.com/in/randallsmith or on Instagram at @randysmithinvestorKeywordseconomy, investing, short-term rentals, Airbnb, market trends, passive income, real estate, Brian Tibbs, The Hacker Method, community building

Understanding metrics like alpha and beta can empower you to evaluate your investments better. The S&P 500 is a popular index, but not all investments follow it equally in performance. Professional financial management adds accountability and systematic decision-making to your investment strategy.

That deal in Brooklyn changed my life." “As a private lender, we have the capacity to move very fast. I've had calls on a Sunday saying, ‘I need to close by Tuesday.' And we make it happen." “Being a lender instead of a landlord means you're the last one in, but the first one paid. That's how you protect your money." “If you think good, you will do good. Your energy and mindset create your success." “I don't know how, but I just knew—I'm going to get this deal done. Two weeks later, we made it happen exactly as I envisioned."   Social: Website: https://www.welendllc.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rubenizgelov/     Disclaimer: Please be aware that the opinions and perspectives conveyed in this podcast are solely those of our guests and do not necessarily represent the views, ideologies, or principles of Super Entrepreneurs Podcast, its associated entities, or any organizations they represent or are affiliated with.

Jason invites you all to Empowered Investor LIVE this coming April for a great time of learning and fun! Get early bird rates today! https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ Given the recent tragedies in Los Angeles, North Carolina, Florida and others, and thus the tremendous need to build new houses across the country, Jason wanted to discusses the Hartman Risk Evaluator and the importance of packaged commodities investing for real estate investors.  The Hartman Risk Evaluator highlights the benefits of investing in real estate as a means of gaining exposure to commodities, which have intrinsic value. Unlike fiat currencies that depreciate over time, commodities such as lumber, drywall, concrete, steel, and petroleum-based products are essential and globally traded. Rather than investing directly in raw commodities, real estate investors can leverage fixed-rate financing, tax benefits, and appreciation by purchasing "packaged commodities" in the form of homes and apartments. Rising costs of construction materials, driven by supply chain issues and inflation, further support real estate as a strong hedge against currency devaluation. The Hartman Risk Evaluator helps investors minimize downside risk by focusing on markets where the land-to-improvement ratio is lower, meaning more of the investment is in tangible commodities rather than volatile land values. Linear markets, characterized by stable appreciation and landlord-friendly laws, offer the best long-term returns, as opposed to risky cyclical markets with boom-and-bust cycles. Ultimately, investing in packaged commodities via real estate provides a safeguard against inflation while capitalizing on the global demand for essential building materials. #RealEstateInvesting #CommoditiesInvesting #RiskManagement #HartmanRiskEvaluator #InflationHedge #LinearMarkets #CyclicalMarkets #HybridMarkets #InvestmentStrategy #MarketAnalysis #FinancialEducation #AssetDiversification #PropertyInvestment #FinancialLiteracy Key Takeaways: 1:36 https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/  and the race to construction materials and labor Risk Evaluator and packaged commodities investing 4:00 Producer prices up in Feb 12:52 Baselane.com/Jason 16:03 PPI: softwood lumber and other materials 19:20 3 types of markets and LTI ratio   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
