Noua ediție a emisiunii vine cu de toate. De la apocalipsa meteo la AI-ul care pare că vrea să ne ia locul în redacție. Îți povestesc imediat.Începem cu o mega furtună care a făcut ravagii prin țară. Știi genul ăla de ploaie care vine cu grindină cât mingea de ping-pong, tunete de zici că e film cu supereroi și copaci rupți peste tot? Ei bine, a fost mai nasol decât atât. Avem imagini, comentăm și tragem concluziile: natura a apăsat pe fast-forward.Tot la categoria dezastre, dar de data asta un pic mai grav: un avion s-a prăbușit la Orăștie. Din fericire, vorbim despre un aparat mic, nu o cursă comercială. Dar tot e tragic. Detalii, martori, reacții – le avem pe toate.De la grav trecem la inspirațional. La Iași, o profesoară a refuzat să stea deoparte când a văzut o nedreptate. Hotărâtă, verticală, genul de om de care avem nevoie mai des în sistemul de educație. Merită aplauze.La New York a plouat, și nu e o glumă. Străzile s-au umplut de apă, iar oamenii au luat-o razna pe TikTok. Ploaia nu mai e doar un fenomen meteorologic, ci și social media event.Apoi vorbim despre ceva care devine din ce în ce mai problematic: părinții care nu-și mai vaccinează copiii. De ce? De frică, din cauza dezinformării sau pur și simplu din neîncredere. Discutăm pe bune, fără să ne dăm experți, dar cu capul pe umeri.Ai cablu TV? Sau nu mai ai? Nu contează. Ți-arăt cum poți să te uiți la cablu chiar și fără cablu. Sună absurd, dar e posibil – ai nevoie doar de un pic de tehnologie și ceva răbdare.Criza e aici. Nu vine, nu se apropie. E deja instalată, dar nu-i lovește pe toți la fel. L-am invitat pe Dragoș Cabat la #IGDLCC să vorbim despre cine va fi cel mai afectat și de ce unii vor ieși chiar mai bine din asta.Trecem și prin zona tech: Xiaomi lansează YU7, o mașină electrică. Nu telefon, nu trotineta aia de pe stradă. O mașină. Și nu sună rău deloc.Ajungem la brandurile românești: GB.RO (da, shop-ul nostru de tech curat și premium), apoi dăm o tură pe winwin.fit, platforma de fitness și stil de viață sănătos, și ne oprim la coffeehouse.ro, pentru o doză de energie și câteva gadgeturi smart pentru cafea.Japonezii ne dau lecții și la net. Internetul din Japonia e altă lume. Și nu, nu e de glumă. E cu viteze, nu ca fibra ta de acasă care face buffer când te uiți la serial.Apple îl dă în judecată pe Jon Prosser, faimosul leaker. Ce urmează? Influencerii de tech intră în panică?YouTube nu are milă. A început să taie în carne vie, demonetizări, strike-uri, și totul se întâmplă rapid. Dacă ești creator de conținut, stai cu ochii pe ce postăm.Apoi vorbim despre cookie-uri, dar nu din alea care se mănâncă, ci din alea care te urmăresc. Și despre un nou iPhone cu sticlă de la Samsung – da, ironic.Google Pixel 10 apare pe 10 august. Speculații, scurgeri de informații, poze ciudate apărute pe net – totul într-o secțiune condensată.Partea de AI e absolut nebună: acum toți vor să antreneze AI-uri. Dar ne mai înțelegem cu ele? Unele deja au început să vorbească ca ChatGPT, și chiar mai rău – au dat oameni afară.Copilot de la Microsoft vede tot, iar AI-ul de la Google refuză să joace șah cu un Atari. Da, ai citit bine. Aparent, e prea „prost” jocul pentru el.Mai avem și noutăți cu Perplexity Comet, tehnologie spațială, asteroizi care pot fi deviați, computere cuantice, tarifele lui Trump care bulversează piața și un mister numit Q Department.Finalul? O notă liberă: Untamed. Cumva, titlul ăsta descrie tot ce-am vorbit în episodul ăsta. De la vreme la AI, de la economie la tech – nimic nu mai poate fi îmblânzit. Și poate nici nu trebuie.Ne vedem în episodul următor. Până atunci, ține minte: realitatea bate oricând ficțiunea, mai ales când vine ambalată cu algoritmi.

Balvu mūzikas skolas koris, iegūstot XIII Latvijas Skolu jaunatnes dziesmu un deju svētku koru konkursa fināla jeb „Koru karos” Lielo balvu, vēl dzīvo vārdos neaprakstāmās sajūtās. Kora diriģente Linda Vītola saņem daudzu jo daudzu gan kolēģu, gan līdzcilvēku atzinīgus vārdus par koristu sniegumu. Interesējamies, kā koris nonācis pie tik laba skanējuma, ko domā par konkursu paši dziedātāji. Balvu mūzikas skolā pulcējušies Lielās balvas ieguvēji – Balvu mūzikas skolas koristi un viņu skolotāja, diriģente Linda Vītola, koncertmeistars Viktors Bormanis un dziedātāju mammas Iluta Jaundžeikare, Irīna Krivošejeva un Ilze Strupka, kas bērnus pavadīja uz Dziesmu un deju svētkiem, juta līdzi koru finālā un piedzīvoja neaizmirstamas emocijas, kad Mežaparka Lielajā estrādē, noslēguma koncertā „Te-aust” paziņoja, ka Lielo balvu iegūst Balvu koris. Dziedātājas atzīst, ka daudziem birušas asaras, tas bijis liels šoks, bijis pārsteigums, bet arī cerējuši. Noslēguma koncerta ģenerālmēģinājumā tika paziņoti Koru konkursa fināla 1.–3. vietu ieguvēji katrā kategorijā un grupā. Un tur tika nosaukts vēl viens Lindas Vītolas vadītais koris no Tilžas pamatskolas, koru sacensībās iegūstot godpilno trešo vietu. Un tas, ka arī mazais Tilžas pamatskola koris ieguva vietu, Lindai Vītolai ir īpaši. Lielā balva ir liela atbildība, bet ar to nekas nebeidzas, atzīst Linda Vītola: „Es teicu saviem jauniešiem – mums, mīļie, ir jādzied, lai pēc tam ir gandarījuma sajūta, pat sapņos nerādījās, ka būs Lielā balva, ne tādēļ mēs nākam, bet lai ir labi, godprātīgi padarīta darba sajūta. Strādājot ar kori, arī saviem dziedātājiem mēģinu stāstīt – koris nav ne ātri, ne viegli, tas ir ilglaicīgs maratons, kurā strādājot, gala rezultātā kaut kas var sanākt, ir jābūt gan pēctecībai, gan regularitātei, arī disciplīnai jābūt.”

Aaron und Willi setzen sich zusammen und sprechen über einen kürzlich verstorbenen Pastor und Theologen aus den Vereinigten Staaten: John MacArthur.Für uns war er ein großes Vorbild im Glauben – besonders darin, standhaft zu bleiben trotz Anfechtungen und des Einflusses nicht bibeltreuer Strömungen. Sein Leben zeugte von Treue zur Schrift und einer klaren Haltung, auch wenn es unbequem wurde.Gleichzeitig zeigte er uns, wie Liebe und echte Gemeinschaft unter Gläubigen möglich ist – selbst bei theologischen Unterschieden. Ein gutes Beispiel dafür ist seine Freundschaft mit R.C. Sproul. Obwohl sie in bestimmten Fragen unterschiedliche Auffassungen hatten, verband sie eine tiefe geschwisterliche Liebe im Glauben.John MacArthur diente über 50 Jahre lang treu als Pastor der Grace Community Church in Los Angeles – ein beeindruckendes Zeugnis seines treuen und beständigen Dienstes.Er bleibt für uns ein leuchtendes Vorbild des Glaubens: ein Diener, der bis zum Ende treu geblieben ist.

Šoreiz raidījumā Divas puslodes pārsvarā pievēršamies notikumiem Eiropā. Neuzticības balsojumu pagājušajā nedēļā ir izturējusi Eiropas Komisijas prezidente Urzula fon der Leiena. Lai gan jau pirms balsojuma bija skaidrs, ka jaunas komisijas meklējumos nebūs jādodas, notikums tomēr ir uzmanības vērts, jo izgaismo neapmierinātību ar komisijas vadību, tostarp arī to politisko spēku vidū, kas viņas kandidatūru atbalstīja. Šengenas beigu sākums - šādi virsraksti nereti vērojami starptautiskajos medijos, tiem atspoguļojot Eiropas valstu arvien stingrākos pasākumus imigrācijas ierobežošanai. Vai pārbaudes uz robežām tiešā nozīmē Šengenas nāvi un kad sagaidīsim darbojošos Eiropas mēroga risinājumus imigrācijas kontrolēšanai? Pēc četrām desmitgadēm ieročus nolicis kurdu bruņotais separātistu grupējums Kurdistānas Sstrādnieku partija. Kamēr partija norāda, ka cīņu pārnes uz demokrātisko fronti jeb politiku, Turcijas prezidents Redžeps Tajips Erdogans jau paziņojis, ka atbruņošanās uzskatāma par viņa valsts uzvaru. Kādēļ tas notiek tagad un kurš no tā būs ieguvējs? Nedaudz arī par vē vienu aktualitāti - Tramps izvirzījis Krievijai prasību 50 dienu laikā diplomātiskā ceļā vienoties par mieru, piedraudot, ka pretējā gadījumā uzliks ievedmuitu 100% apmērā importam no Krievijas un no tās tirdzniecības partneriem.  Aktualitātes analizē politisko norišu pētnieks Veiko Spolītis un Latvijas Ārpolitikas institūta asociētais pētnieks Marts Ivaskis.   Fon der Leienas kundzes jaunā pieredze Eiropas Parlamenta balsojumi par neuzticības izteikšanu Eiropas Komisijas prezidentam, respektīvi, komisijai pilnā sastāvā, nav sevišķi bieža parādība. Salīdzinoši vairāk to bija pagājušā gadsimta deviņdesmitajos gados, kad Žaka Delora komisija piedzīvoja trīs, bet Žaka Santēra komisija – divus balsojumus, pie tam Santērs demisionēja pats brīdī, kad brieda trešais balsojums. Mūsu gadsimtā pa vienam balsojumam nācies izturēt Romano Prodi 2004. gadā, Žozē Manuelam Barrozu 2005. gadā un Žanam Klodam Junkeram 2014. gadā. Pagājušajā ceturtdienā, 10. jūlijā, šim sarakstam pievienojusies arī Urzula fon der Leiena. Tāpat kā iepriekšējās reizēs arī šoreiz viss beidzās komisijas labā: 360 parlamentāriešiem balsojot pret, nepieciešamais divu trešdaļu balsu apjoms netika iegūts, un fon der Leienas komisija palika savā vietā. Konkrētais balsojuma rosinātājs bija deputāts no Rumānijas George Piperjs, labējā Eiropas Konservatīvo un reformistu grupā ietilpstošās partijas Alianse rumāņu vienotībai pārstāvis. Galvenais motīvs ir t.s. Faizergeita – skandāls, kuru 2021. gada aprīlī izraisīja laikraksta „The New York Times” publikācija, kurā tika apgalvots, ka vienošanās starp Eiropas Komisiju un farmācijas kompāniju „Pfizer” par 35 miljardus vērto Covid-19 vakcīnu iepirkumu faktiski notikusi, fon der Leienai apmainoties īsziņām ar „Pfizer” izpilddirektoru Albertu Burlu. Eiropas Komisija noliedz šādu traktējumu, savukārt laikraksts panācis Eiropas Vispārējās tiesas lēmumu, ka komisijai būtu jāpadara attiecīgā sarakste publiski pieejama. Visdrīzāk, juridiska stīvēšanās par šo jautājumu, kā arī par to, vai īsziņas vispār var būt obligāti publiskojams materiāls, turpināsies. Pērkot deputātu labvēlību, pirms balsojuma fon der Leienai nācās atteikties no vairākām savām nostādnēm pēc pāris nedēļām apstiprināmā savienības septiņgadu budžeta sakarā. Sociālistu un demokrātu grupa pavisam tieši piedraudēja balsojumā atturēties, ja budžetā netiks saglabāta apjomīgā Eiropas Sociālā fonda finansējuma daļa. Tāpat fon der Leiena atteicās no domas finansējumu reģionu atbalstam, kas veido apmēram trešdaļu no visa savienības budžeta, piešķirt ar nacionālo valdību starpniecību. Pret neuzticības izteikšanu balsoja vairums deputātu no Eiropas Tautas partijas, Sociālistu un demokrātu, liberālās „Atjauno Eiropu” un Zaļo grupām, savukārt par – pamatā labējie: Konservatīvie un reformisti, „Eiropas patrioti”, Suverēno nāciju Eiropa, arī daļa no radikālās Kreiso grupas. Kurdistānas Strādnieku partija noliek ieročus Kurdi ir viena no pasaules lielākajām nācijām bez savas valsts. Aprēķini ir visai atšķirīgi, taču ne mazāk kā trīsdesmit miljoni kurdu kompakti apdzīvo Turcijas dienvidaustrumus, kā arī tiem piegulošos Irānas, Irākas un Sīrijas rajonus. Suverēnas Kurdistānas izveides ideja tika pieteikta jau pirms vairāk nekā simts gadiem, Pirmā pasaules kara izskaņā, taču ne toreiz, ne vēlāk nav īstenojusies. Kurdu neatkarības centienus visas pieminētās valstis uzlūkojušas kā apkarojamu separātismu, un palaikam šī pretstāve izvērtusies bruņotā cīņā. Turcijas kurdu cīņas avangards kopš 1978. gada bija Kurdistānas Strādnieku partija, kuras ideoloģija apvienoja kurdu nacionālismu un marksismu, deklarējot kā mērķi ne vien neatkarīgu, bet arī sociālistisku Kurdistānu. Tiek lēsts, ka organizācijas bruņotā cīņa pret Turciju prasījusi vairāk nekā 37 000 dzīvību, pie tam vardarbībā pret civiliedzīvotājiem tiek vainotas abas puses. 1999. gadā Turcijas specdienestiem izdevās Kenijā sagūstīt un pārvest uz Turciju Kurdistānas Strādnieku partijas dibinātāju un līderi Abdullu Edželanu, kurs kopš tā laika atrodas mūža ieslodzījumā. Pēc Sadama Huseina režīma sabrukuma Irākā 2003. gadā un Sīrijas pilsoņkara uzliesmošanas 2011. gadā kurdu bruņotās vienības sāka kontrolēt savas etniskās teritorijas attiecīgajās valstīs, un šeit patvērumu atrada arī Kurdistānas Strādnieku partijas kaujinieki, kas, savukārt, pamudināja Turciju īstenot militāras operācijas pret kurdu spēkiem kaimiņvalstu teritorijā. 2012. gadā toreizējā Turcijas premjerministra Redžepa Tajipa Erdogana valdība uzsāka sarunas ar ieslodzījumā esošo Edželanu, taču nākamajā gadā Parīzē tika noslepkavots viens no kurdu līderiem, un pāris nākamo gadu laikā miera process izjuka. Šķiet, tagad ir izdevies panāks labāku rezultātu, jo šī gada februārī Edželans aicināja savu organizāciju atbruņoties un pašlikvidēties, un maijā Kurdistānas Strādnieku partijas kongress tiešām pieņēma attiecīgu lēmumu. 11. jūlijā Irākas ziemeļu pilsētā Suleimānijā Strādnieku partijas kaujinieki piedalījās simboliskā ieroču iznīcināšanas ceremonijā, dedzinot sārtā savus automātus un citus šaujamos. Grūti gan spriest, cik liela daļa no Strādnieku partijas militārā spārna ir gatavi pakļauties augstākstāvošo lēmumam un tiešām atbruņoties. Tāpat pagaidām nav skaidri zināms, ko ir apņēmusies darīt Turcijas valdība apmaiņā pret kurdu atteikšanos no bruņotas cīņas.  Vai Šengena briesmās?  Pagājušajā nedēļā prezidents Makrons un premjerministrs Stārmers tikās Londonā kārtējā Francijas un Lielbritānijas samitā. Kā teju nozīmīgākais tikšanās rezultāts tiek izcelta vienošanās par neregulāro imigrantu apmaiņas programmu, proti, Francija piekrīt saņemt no Lielbritānijas atpakaļ zināmu skaitu ārpuseiropas migrantu, kuri bez ieceļošanas atļaujas šķērsojuši Lamanšu, savukārt Lielbritānija uzņems attiecīgu skaitu tādu, kuriem būtu tiesības uz uzturēšanos, bet kuri to līdz šim nav mēģinājuši panākt. Tiek lēsts, ka šādi Lielbritānija varētu nosūtīt atpakaļ uz kontinentu apmēram 2600 cilvēkus gadā jeb apmēram 6% no bez atļaujas atkuģojušajiem. Kamēr briti bija Eiropas Savienībā, viņiem bija tiesības nosūtīt neregulāros migrantus uz to savienības valsti, kurā viņi bija ieradušies vispirms. Līdz 2016. gadam Apvienotā Karaliste nogādāja kontinentā vairāk ieceļotāju nekā uzņēma, taču tagad situācija ir mainījusies. 2024. gadā pieteikumus par uzturēšanās atļaujas piešķiršanu iesnieguši 108 000 cilvēku, kas ir apmēram divas ar pusi reizes vairāk nekā 2018. gadā. Šogad, kā liecina statistika, šis apjoms varētu vēl dubultoties. Pret šiem skaitļiem domājamais atgriežamo daudzums šķiet pieticīgs, taču abi valdību vadītāji izteicās optimistiski – galu galā šī ir pirmā šāda veida vienošanās starp Lielbritāniju pēc Breksita un kādu Eiropas Savienības valsti. Tikām citāda noskaņa valda divu Eiropas Savienības valstu – Polijas un Vācijas – pierobežā pēc tam, kad Polija 7. jūlijā ieviesa daļēju robežas kontroli ar Vāciju un arī Lietuvu. Iemesls jau atkal ir neregulārie migranti, kuri cenšas, ietikuši Polijā vai kādā no Baltijas valstīm, nonākt Vācijā. Taču Varšava diezin vai būtu spērusi šādu soli, ja Berlīne ko līdzīgu nepasāktu jau 2023. gada oktobrī. Šobrīd tās gan ir pārbaudes izlases kārtībā, un teorētiski tām būtu pēc kāda laika jābeidzas, tomēr par to drošas pārliecības nav. Eiropas Savienības likumdošana paredz, ka kontrole uz tās iekšējām robežām var tikt ieviesta tikai ārkārtas situācijās un uz pusgadu, taču norma skaidri nenosaka, ka šo termiņu nevar pagarināt. To arī dara ne vien Vācija un Polija, bet arī vairākas citas dalībvalstis.

Über 600 Wildbienenarten gibt es in der Schweiz. Aber fast die Hälfte der Arten steht auf der roten Liste und zehn Prozent aller Wildbienenarten sind bereits ausgestorben. Was lässt sich - zumindest im eigenen Garten - dagegen tun? Die beliebten Wildbienen-Hotels sind zwar grossartig, um Wildbienen im eigenen Garten zu beobachten, aber in den meisten Fällen bringen sie für den Naturschutz nicht viel. Mehr als die Hälfte der Wildbienen machen ihre Brutzellen im Boden, andere in Hohlräumen oder gar in Schneckenhäuschen. Fast noch wichtiger ist für die Wildbienen Nahrung für sich und den Nachwuchs: Pollen und Nektar von möglichst vielen verschiedenen einheimischen Blumen und Sträuchern. Die gute Nachricht: In Gärten und Städten lassen sich sehr viele und auch seltene Arten wieder ansiedeln, wenn man weiss wie. Das Ende. Die letzte Sommerserie der Radio Wissenschaftsredaktion.

Rauchen ist des Teufels. Es macht krank und abhängig und treibt uns in letzter Konsequenz in Sucht und Tod. Aber der Teufel ist zugleich der größte Verführer. Und wer das Rauchen genießt oder fürs eigene Wohlbefinden braucht, wer es einfach nur cool findet oder sich mit Zigarette freier fühlt als ohne, erliegt dieser Versuchung. Auch wider besseres Wissen. Rauchverbote in der Öffentlichkeit - gerade wieder verschärft in Frankreich - halten die Gefahr für Passivrauchende in Schach. Und so hat sich ein großer Teil der Rauch-und-Qualm-Wolken aus der Öffentlichkeit verzogen. Aber als Feind im Körper bleiben Nikotin und Co. präsent und lebensgefährlich für alle, die nicht davon lassen können oder wollen. Und was ist mit den E-Zigaretten? Taugen sie als Strohhalme, an die sich Rauchende im Zweifelsfall noch klammern können? Oder sind sie doch nur kleinere Sargnägel? Was braucht man außer seinem Willen, um vom Rauchen loszukommen? Sollte alles, was sich rauchen lässt, schleunigst aus dem Verkehr gezogen werden? Gerade beim Rauchen entzündet sich immer wieder der uralte Konflikt zwischen Freiheit und Verantwortung. Nehmen wir uns mehr als eine Zigarettenlänge Zeit für diese Fragen mit der Gesundheitswissenschaftlerin Ute Mons vom Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrum, mit dem Soziologen und Suchtexperten Bernd Werse von der Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences und der Literaturwissenschaftlerin und Modetheoretikerin Barbara Vinken von den Ludwig-Maximilans-Universität München. Podcast-Tipp: SWR Kultur - Forum: Nikotinsucht - Was bringt ein Rauchverbot im Freien? Rund 100.000 Menschen sterben in Deutschland jedes Jahr an den Folgen des Rauchens. Bei Jugendlichen sind Zigaretten zwar eher unbeliebt, aber immer mehr nutzen Vapes. Frankreich führt nun ein Rauchverbot in Parks und an Stränden ein, um Kinder zu schützen. Verbraucherverbände wünschen sich das auch für Deutschland. Was bewirken strengere Regeln? Und wie gefährlich sind Vapes und Nikotinbeutel? https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/urn:ard:episode:460a7c8f2c278548/

From the archives: 6-21-23Touch DNA refers to the trace amounts of DNA that can be transferred through direct contact between an individual's skin cells and an object or surface. It is a valuable forensic tool used in crime scene investigations to help identify potential suspects or link individuals to a particular location.When individuals touch an object or surface, they leave behind skin cells containing their DNA. Touch DNA analysis involves collecting and analyzing these minute samples to extract the DNA and generate a DNA profile. The DNA profile contains unique genetic markers that can be compared to known DNA samples, such as those from a suspect or a DNA database, to determine a potential match or identify an unknown individual.The process of touch DNA analysis typically involves the following steps:Sample collection: Forensic investigators collect potential touch DNA samples from objects or surfaces at a crime scene using various techniques. This may involve swabbing the surface with a sterile cotton swab or using adhesive tape to lift any visible or invisible biological material.DNA extraction: The collected samples undergo a DNA extraction process to isolate the DNA from other substances present on the surface. This step aims to purify the DNA and remove any potential inhibitors that might interfere with subsequent analysis.DNA amplification: The extracted DNA is subjected to a process called polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which amplifies specific regions of the DNA. PCR allows for the generation of sufficient DNA material for further analysis, even if only a minimal amount of touch DNA was initially present.DNA profiling: The amplified DNA is analyzed using techniques such as short tandem repeat (STR) analysis. STR markers are specific regions within the DNA that exhibit variations in the number of repeated DNA sequences. By comparing the lengths of these STR markers between the crime scene sample and a reference sample, a DNA profile is generated.Database search and interpretation: The DNA profile obtained from the touch DNA sample can be compared to known reference samples from suspects or individuals in a DNA database. If a match is found, it can provide investigative leads or potentially establish a link between the individual and the crime scene.It's important to note that touch DNA analysis has certain limitations. The amount of DNA left behind through touch is often very small, making it susceptible to contamination and degradation. Factors such as the environmental conditions and the time elapsed since the DNA was deposited can affect the quality and quantity of the touch DNA sample. Additionally, the presence of multiple individuals' DNA on an object or surface can complicate the analysis.Nevertheless, touch DNA analysis has proven valuable in numerous criminal investigations, aiding in the identification of suspects, establishing links between individuals and crime scenes, and exonerating innocent individuals. It is a powerful tool in forensic science that complements other methods of DNA analysis, such as blood or saliva DNA samples."The comparison showed a statistical match—specifically, the STR profile is at least 5.37 octillion times more likely to be seen if Defendant is the source than if an unrelated individual randomly selected from the population is the source," the filing says according to the article.In this episode we take a look at how strong that evidence is and how Kohberger's team might attempt to challenge it.(commercial at 7:40)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger DNA Revelation Made in New Court Documents (newsweek.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Keith Weinhold, anymore when you own short term rentals like Airbnbs and vrbos, you are in an all out arms race competing to provide amenities like never before. Then what happens when you take the popular burr real estate strategy and overlay it with one of the most investor advantaged markets in all of America. It's a lucrative opportunity. You'll see how and why today on get rich education.    Keith Weinhold  0:32   Mid south home buyers, I mean, they're total pros, with over two decades as the nation's highest rated turnkey provider, their empathetic property managers use your ROI as their North Star. So it's no wonder that smart investors just keep lining up to get their completely renovated income properties like it's the newest iPhone. They're headquartered in Memphis and have globally attractive cash flows, an A plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, and now over 5000 houses renovated their zero markup on maintenance. Let that sink in, and they average a 98.9% occupancy rate, while their average renter stays more than three and a half years. Every home they offer has brand new components, a bumper to bumper, one year warranty, new 30 year roofs. And wait for it, a high quality renter. Remember that part and in an astounding price range, 100 to 180k I've personally toured their office and their properties in person in Memphis. Get to know mid south enjoy cash flow from day one.

This is get rich education.   Keith Weinhold  2:14   Welcome to GRE from North Conway, New Hampshire to North port, Florida and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold, and this is get rich education, happy July, the second half of the year. And my favorite month of the year is your Airbnb fancy enough, because anymore STRS short term rentals have gotten so competitive that hosts treat their properties like white lotus level hotels. Now, STRS were never passive, but they become even less so it is active income. Once upon a time, Airbnb hosts could just sort of drop a few colorful throw pillows on their fold out couch and make a killing. But no more those days are so far gone. The STR game has changed drastically. I mean, you used to be able to list a basic home with generic furniture that you got at Costco, minimal amenities, no Wi Fi, and still get it booked, but today, it will sit empty unless you offer more than just a place to sleep. You have to build an experience for Airbnb guests. Now, increasingly, hosts are doing things like adding outdoor kitchens, arcade machines, putting greens, even basketball. And now, though these upgrades do cost a lot up front, they can pay off. These amenity types can double your nightly rate, but they come with more responsibility and more to maintain. I mean, more guests are expecting a flawless experience. The trend is that Airbnbs are becoming full scale hospitality operations, and if you don't treat it like one, you're going to fall behind. So simply having a nice house that just no longer cuts it, running a short term rental today is nothing like it was even two or three years ago. You used to be able to stand out with a decent bed and colorful throw prolos, but now guests are basically comparing your place to boutique hotels. Hosts are deeply investing in design, forward furniture, layered lighting and featuring spaces that some market as what they call moments like cozy reading corners in these luxurious bathroom setups, adding things like welcome guides and even complete brand identities with a proper. Name and even a logo and a story to give the place some personality, even writing up a history for your property, even if it's not that historic. Now, these sorts of tactics, they actually do, seem to work. Guests will give you more bookings, better reviews, and guests even share the space on social media like it's somewhat of a lifestyle destination now sometimes STR hosts, they team with these other platforms to add welcome champagne in ice buckets on site, sommeliers, private chefs, daily, housekeeping on demand. 24/7 textable concierges, heated plunge pools and other amenities through you partnering with some of these platforms and these upgrades don't come cheap. The publication called the playbook, they featured an STR in Sag Harbor, New York, where the property owner invested $85,000 into overhauling the landscaping and adding a James Turrell Inspired LED light installation. But overall, these improvements boost rental revenue by an average of 40% over what the property was collecting previously. All right, so this is a case study now, though, this STR trend of offering deep hospitality and luxury amenities has turned into more of a job and less about passive income. You know, really, this is free market capitalism, because this is competition to see who can provide the best service at the lowest price, but that's what it is. So this is making real estate less of a good and more of a service. Short term rentals soaring supply, day rate compression and AI driven pricing tools. That means that the just this all nice house with good photos thing that no longer cuts it. It is an amenities arms race now, and of course, this is a national trend. It doesn't mean that it's happening absolutely everywhere. In some places, hosts are able to charm guests simply with something like a freshly baked loaf of banana bread, but the consensus is whether they spend a little or a lot, Airbnb hosts unanimously say that they've got to work harder in order to keep guests happy. It's become more of a business and less of a side hustle than it used to be. You've got more hosts leaning into higher upfront investments because they know guests will pay for a sort of turnkey, Instagrammable experience. And this really is a classic early adopter issue, just like a lot of things, Airbnb launched in 2007 by the way, so this sort of first wave of Airbnb hosts back around 2012 to 2015 they were riding a blue ocean back then. There was virtually no competition. There weren't any standards, and there were plenty of bookings, and that made a lot of hosts pretty fat and happy. But that's not where we are now, really. The bottom line is that in many markets, short term rentals have transitioned from partial passivity to all out hospitality. That's the Airbnb arms race. The average Airbnb nightly rate for North America. Do you care to venture a guess at the average nightly rate? It is approximately $216 per night, and that right there is up 26% from 2020 so it is not up as much as house prices over that five year period from 2020 really, the Airbnb rate is up about as much as the long term rental rate.    Keith Weinhold  8:58   While we're talking numbers a quarter recently ended. Let's hit on our asset class rundown. What's happened to home prices in the past year? Well, when you aggregate all these sources, Zillow, Freddie, Mac case, Shiller, FHFA, in totality, home prices are up 2% single family rents are up 3% apartment rates are down 1% due to their oversupply. The 30 year mortgage rate was 6.9% a year ago, and it's 6.8 now. CPI inflation is 2.4% expressed in year to date terms. Now the SP5 100 is up 5% in the first half of this year, ending near 6200 the dollar is down. That means that it takes more of them to buy gold, which is over $3,300 an ounce, gold is up 27% just from the start of this year, and the oil price is still depressed in the 60s. Per dollar for a barrel, Bitcoin still strong, ending the quarter at 106kthat's your asset class rundown, which we do about quarterly.    Keith Weinhold  9:57   Hey, I really enjoyed meetingside. Of you on this year's terrific real estate guys Investor Summit at sea was concluded about a week ago. It was two days on land in Miami, followed by a week of conferences and fun aboard a Caribbean cruise ship. I really got to meet you and get to know you, because we had nine days together, and as one of the faculty members, I hosted a table at dinner every night, and each night the attendees rotated around to my table, so I got to meet a lot of you and really get to know you, and you got to know me. Yeah, it was as interesting for me to meet you in person, perhaps, as it was for you to meet me, because I like to hear what you're doing in real estate, investing, in everything else. I gave a main stage presentation that was almost an hour of all me, all GRE and also served on five different panel discussions. Oh, it's such a unique event. Get this, I was kind of dressed up to give my main stage presentation, which so many of you, by the way, told me afterwards, that that was your favorite presentation of them all, all week long, because each faculty member made a main stage presentation. But what I want to tell you is, just a few hours after I presented, on the cruise ship, I was shirtless in the water throwing a football around at the beach in St Thomas Virgin Islands. What an event. Fantastic to meet a number of you in person. So far today, I hope what I've shared with you has been informative. Next. It's something informative and really actionable that you can make lucrative that's next. I'm Keith Weinhold. You're listening to get rich education.    Keith Weinhold  11:45   The same place where I get my own mortgage loans is where you can get yours. Ridge lending group and MLS, 42056, they provided our listeners with more loans than anyone because they specialize in income properties. They help you build a long term plan for growing your real estate empire with leverage. Start your pre qual and even chat with President Caeli Ridge personally, while it's on your mind, start at Ridge lendinggroup.com. That's Ridge lendinggroup.com.    Russell Gray  12:16   You know what's crazy your bank is getting rich off of you, the average savings account pays less than 1% it's like laughable. Meanwhile, if your money isn't making at least 4% you're losing to inflation. That's why I started putting my own money into the FFI liquidity fund. It's super simple. Your cash can pull in up to 8% returns, and it compounds. It's not some high risk gamble like digital or AI stock trading. It's pretty low risk because they've got a 10 plus year track record of paying investors on time in full every time. I mean, I wouldn't be talking about it if I wasn't invested myself. You can invest as little as 25k and you keep earning until you decide you want your money back, no weird lock ups or anything like that. So if you're like me and tired of your liquid funds just sitting there doing nothing, check it out. Text family to 66866, to learn about freedom. Family investments, liquidity fund again.

This is Russell Gray, co host of real estate guys radio show, and you're listening to get rich education with Keith Weinhold, don't quit your Daydream. You Keith,   Keith Weinhold  13:38   welcome back to get rich Education. I'm your host. Keith Weinhold, we're talking to a guest not only about an investor advantaged market, but when you overlay a certain strategy with it, this can be highly lucrative for investor returns, and we're with a long time investing pro Alex, welcome onto the show.    Alex Craig  14:04   Hi Keith, thank you.    Keith Weinhold  14:05   Well talking about top US cashflowing market, let's get right to it. Tell us about yours.   Alex Craig  14:11   Little Rock, Arkansas. It's a market that we've been in since 2012. I personally invest there. I've got about 75 doors of multi family, single family. And the reason why it works is just cash flow. Over the years, we've had investors from around the country that have owned portfolios where maybe they're somewhere in Phoenix or Dallas, where they're kind of speculating. This is not a speculation market, and that's why it works for myself. It's consistent. It's very linear, and linear is a word that we use a lot to describe. And if you're going to be a cash flow investor, and that's why I'm in it, it's you want a linear market. You don't want ups or downs, and then you want to make sure it's a growing market too. And Little Rock checks all the boxes of what you would want in a stable cash flow environment market.   Keith Weinhold  14:57   And I think a lot of our investor listeners are. Already pretty keen on that. You get a high ratio of rent income to purchase price. You have laws that heavily favor landlords over tenants. But Alex, in today's environment, people are more conscious about rising operating expenses and higher mortgage expenses, and that's really one advantage that Arkansas can give right now, is with those low property taxes   Alex Craig  15:20   Keith,it's so interesting you mentioned that because I did have a conversation with a client of ours that had a property in another market that he had mentioned how his property taxes had gone up and gone up substantially, which that's to expect. I mean, after COVID, there was a lot of markets saw a huge boost, especially with markets that saw hedge funds come in. Hedge Funds, I believe, ruined a lot of markets, raised the prices. And another reason I like Little Rock, it flies under the radar. You think is Little Rock is a small market, but it's really not. It's, I mean, the population of the city is 250,000 but the metro area, which is a 50 mile radius around Little Rock, is much bigger. And the entire, not only the entire market, metro area, feeds off little rock, really, the entire state does too. But that being said, because it's floating under the radar, the property tax have remained low. They've taken a little bit of bump over the years, because the values steadily go up, but they started low anyway. So with operating costs of insurance, insurance has gone up for a lot of for my own properties in other markets, it's going up, and it's going up in Little Rock too. I mean, it's just the name of insurance, but property taxes have remained low. They've always been low, and that's really a big help as to why this market works for us.   Keith Weinhold  16:30   Talking about flying under the radar, you're talking about, therefore evading a lot of that hedge fund money. Tell us more about the market and some of those anchors and drivers.   Alex Craig  16:40   It's a blue collar town. You've got logistics. Is a market, or is a segment of the industry that has really come on strong over the last few years, Amazon has really put a footprint in the market. Healthcare is a huge, huge market, like I mentioned earlier, not only does the region feed off the direct to the entire state, it's the hub of healthcare for the entire state of Arkansas, of course, it's government. Government provides a lot of jobs. The good thing about government jobs is they're maybe not on a national level anymore, but on a local, state level, they're very it's hard to get let go from a government job, unless now, not on a federal level, but it's very steady, so a lot of steady blue collar jobs, and that's what you want for a strong resident base, especially in the type of properties and 1000 to $1,200 price range, you want those blue collar study growing jobs.   Keith Weinhold  17:31   Yes, you do have those there. It's funny. I'm smiling a bit because I used to be a state government employee, and there's just no way that they ever would have fired me. I was so protective I had to quit in order for them to have to replace me at that job. I'm wondering about the new supply that's come on, Alex, because a number of markets have added supply. I know, for example, that Redfin reports that little rock median home price appreciation is up 7.3% year over year, and with the dynamics going on in the market recently, that typically tells us that there hasn't been that much new supply added. Is that what's going on there?   Alex Craig  18:11   No, there hasn't been a lot of new supply. I just think with little rock and every other market, the mortgage rates have gone up. Home ownership is down during COVID. It was really hard to get an investment property. For what we did, sending out our list every week. It was basically send out our properties, people hitting send and not even knowing what they were reserving. Rates were just low, right? Everybody's jumping in. It was hard to get inventory. So now what we have is, you know, higher rates that scares some people off. It pushes some people out on the market, but it also creates opportunity. I feel like this is the easiest time I've been investing in real estate since 2007 that was the foreclosure crisis, Great Recession, and it was a lot of foreclosures on the market, and that's how I built a big chunk of my portfolio. But now it's just a matter of there's not as many people in it. So for us, there's just more acquisitions for us to go out and get. There's still distressed homes on the market where individuals don't want to hire a realtor, they just want all cash offers. They're ready to get rid of them, and that's where we step in. And without as much competition like I said, we kind of fly under the radar. I feel it creates more just supply inventory for us and for me as an investor, but also for our clients too   Keith Weinhold  19:23   with that in mind, and again, a lot of our audience is already on board, knowing that little rock in Arkansas is a good cash flow market with stable, long term fundamentals, but in order to make it more profitable, you've overlaid it with a certain strategy there in Little Rock. Tell us about that.    Alex Craig  19:45   So the BRRRR strategy, yes, it's able to work now because there's not as many buyers in the market. So basically, the way the burrs strategy works is we acquire a property. I'm just going to use very round, simple numbers for simple math makes it easier on me   Keith Weinhold  19:58   and we're talking the BRRRR. Strategy that's buy, renovate, rent, refinance, and repeat. Those are the five investor steps.   Alex Craig  20:07   correct. And so that's what we do, is we buy. Let's just say the B. Let's take the B, for example, we buy a home, and we buy it for 60,000 where I'm just talking like if I own the home, and then I put $20,000 into the deal. So now I'm all into it for 80,000 and you have to remember, there's some in between, cost of closing costs. I'm just talking just very general strategy. You buy it for 60, you put 20 into it, and all of a sudden you're in it for 80, and the value comes back at 100 so you're in it for 80% of the after repair value. Most Fannie Mae lenders will do 75% so if you purchase a house outright, you put 20% down, but if you are doing a refinance, you're able they'll do it at 75% so instead of buying a home and putting it down payment upfront, you're using equity in the deal. And that's what the burst strategy is, buy renovate. So we buy it, we renovate it, we refinance it, we rent it out, and then you repeat it. So it allows for investors to scale their portfolios quicker and stretch their money a little bit further. So if you've got, I've got $50,000 and I want to invest in real estate, if you purchase a home, you're bound by the down payment. Once you put that down payment, it's, I wouldn't call it sunk cost, but that money's gone for reinvesting. The burr model allows you to stretch that money a little bit further. Now, like I said, I gave pretty basic numbers to the deal, but that's what you're going for. Some equity in the deal, and that's what we're able to provide for ourselves and for our clients.   Keith Weinhold  21:38   So let's review that numbers on a little rock burp, making a $60,000 purchase with a pre renovated property. Then the investor puts another 20k into it for the renovation. So now they're all in for 80k and they get a 100k appraisal on that property, and then they can borrow, say, 75% of that there, that is the refi portion, the fourth letter of the BRRRR acronym. So therefore they've got 80k into it, and they got 75k back, meaning they would only have 5k into it, but maybe another 5k for closing costs, and now they only have 10k in to a 100k property. That's the appeal. That's what we're talking about here with the BRRRR   Alex Craig  22:22   strategy. I mean, you're exactly right. And as I mentioned, I use some really basic numbers, because when you're using, you know, 100,060 and 20 makes them very basic. It's pretty hard to find out a deal worth 100,000 these days, even when we started in the industry, 100,000 was a pretty cheap after pair value. Probably the mean value of the homes that we're dealing in is probably about 140 to 140 to 160 but same principle, based on those same logic that what we just talked about, I wouldn't say, you know, five or 10k out of pocket, but if you're talking about purchasing a deal with 25% down versus doing a bur you're probably going to be in it at 15% Out of pocket costs 10 to 15% as opposed to putting a down payment of 25% but the big thing is, you're getting money back, and you're not putting as much so just it's great for scale. I don't know if you'll talk about DSCR lending very much on your show, but that's something that a lot of our clients, and that does 80% so we have a lot of clients going that route now too.   Keith Weinhold  23:21   Okay, so you could do 80% with debt service coverage ratio loans, but to drop back in our example, to help be clear, the investor has 80k of their own skin in the game into the property, 60k for the purchase, 20k for the renovation, even though they only have 80k in it appraises for 100k that ARV, that after repair value. Why is the after repair value 100k when you only have 80k into it? Why is it more?   Alex Craig  23:49   that's based off comparable sales? So when you're in it at 80, and you're going to refinance it through a lender, they're going to send an appraiser out, and appraiser is going to pull comparable sales within that neighborhood. So just because you're in an 80 the appraiser is going to go pull three comps, very similar to that home. So if we're selling a three bedroom one bath, they're going to pull three comps at a three bedroom one bath, relatively the same size look, if it's got a carport, they're going to try to find three houses with the carport. So in theory, that's what they're doing. They're pulling comparable sales and developing new value based on recent sales.   Keith Weinhold  24:23   So it's that you have this knowledge to buy in neighborhoods and buy in certain sub markets, where, when you know that capital is added and renovations are made and a rehab period that they do tend to appraise for that value based on the comparables that are already there.   Alex Craig  24:40   Yeah. I mean, if we were to take the same house at 60,000 and didn't do any work, he would then say, well, you've got some comparables here versus 100 but you could never sell this home for 100 these are the things you have to do, and that's what we do during the first R the renovate of the acronym is to renovate the home to the condition that the. Appraisers feel that are comparable for the neighborhood, and that's a real important part, is comparable to the neighborhood. We could go in and put in a Jacuzzi tub and grain of countertops. We actually, we do put a lot of grain in, because we get it so cheap. But you could go in and fix it up to the nines, but it's not going to appraise for any more than the others, because the appraiser would say, we over improved it. So we improve it to what we know, what the kind of the standard for the neighborhood? Because you could over improve these things for sure and not get that return on that investment.   Keith Weinhold  25:28   That is a great answer. There is a specific improvement target that you know that needs to be hit. Tell us more about this burr process, because to an out of area investor, it can sound pretty intimidating if they had to manage contractors remotely themselves,   Alex Craig  25:43   there definitely is a need to have a team on the ground that you trust, that you feel comfortable with, and that's what we've done. I've been doing it in multiple markets for myself since 2007 and we built into a business model in 2010 like I said, expanded Little Rock in 2012 and we've been doing this for 15 years now for other investors. So we've got that name and that reputation of taking care of our investors, that's the important part. And we do see a lot of investors get burned, because you can find a realtor to go to help you find deals, but usually the realtor relationship is thesis to end. It's okay, I found you a deal, but then there's so many other things afterwards, and the renovations, where I see so many people get burned, and you know, we manage approximately 1200 homes between two markets, and that's where I see when property owners come to us, they've been burned the most. It's like they've paid somebody $50,000 they didn't finish the job, they didn't do what they say they're going to do. So the renovation that we're the team on the ground, we've got a in House Project Manager, we've got a network of subcontractors. We tend to act as the contractor, subbing things out. We've got in house property management. We've got all the tools, but it's really between both. In the markets in which I operate. I've got about 30 employees within property management, renovations, acquisitions, so the team on the ground is and then the back in the property management part is the long, ongoing accountability. So if something doesn't work out, that's the way we said it. If we say it's going to rent for 1200 and we rent it out for 900 Well, we really got a big egg on our face. You do a few of those, and that's how you don't stay in business anymore. And there's, and I like to say, about every five years the market corrects itself into getting the wrong players out of the business. COVID was super easy, easy to find deals, easy to sell deals. But once the market changed and it became a little more competitive and rates rose, that's the people that have been around for the long time, been in it for the long haul, that stick around. They've got the established business model and their reputation. So every five years, a good correction in the market eliminates those bad players.   Keith Weinhold  27:47   So you have this vetted, proven in play system that investors can get into besides just identifying the property, it comes with that system, those contractors or that investor just has one point of contact with you there for updates on the renovation.   Alex Craig  28:03   Yeah. I mean, I feel like we know these neighborhoods. I like I feel we know these neighborhoods like the back of our hand. We've been investing in them for a decade plus, and we know the areas you want to be in, the areas you don't want to be in. And we have a lot of investors will call us either they already own the property or they're a current client, and they'll say, Hey, I could get this deal for 30,000 and it's worth 100 and I'm like, Well, that sounds too good to be true, especially if it's on the open market. If it was that good of a deal, it's already gone. We just know the market, where to be. We know what to pay. We could, pretty much just through our experience, identify a house we know probably within about five to 10% before we even dive into comparable sales of what it's worth. We could walk through a house within probably about three to five minutes and peg the renovation costs probably within about 10% now we still order an inspection, and that's where we uncover the things that we can't see, that maybe there's a bunch of rotted out joist or a foundation problem that we didn't see. So, but there's things aside we could walk through and we pretty much know, okay, it needs a roof that's 7000 it needs an air conditioner that's six flooring, two. So that's the expertise that we bring and like. So then the management part of it, on the back end, that kind of ties it all together with accountability.   Keith Weinhold  29:22   And I know that your typical project renovation cost tends to be about 25k just for simplicity, we use 20k in that example, and your completion times are shorter than others that have inexperienced crews. So tell us about that typical renovation time. Alex.   Alex Craig  29:39   every day we're accomplishing 500 so 25,000 divided by 500 comes to 50 days, 50 days. So we'll knock that out in about 50 days. And we just have a large network of subcontractors that we've been working with for years. If you weren't in the business, I think that'd be really hard to accomplish, and there's just a lot that. Goes into it. I mean, the renovating the homes, it's the once, it's the worst, it's the hardest thing that we do. For sure, it's definitely the most scheduling, but it's where, if you don't know what you're doing, a great deal turns into, how do I get out of this?   Keith Weinhold  30:15   Right, absolutely. Now, in our example, we used where an investor puts 60k into it for the purchase to start with, because I see the burst strategy is a good strategy. If someone doesn't have a lot of capital, like they would for maybe a new build property, can one even finance that initial purchase amount?   Alex Craig  30:35   Yeah, so private lending. So that's the part that makes if you've only got 50 grand to facilitate this entire process, and you want to try to repeat it as many times as you can. 50,000 would not be enough just to pay cash. So yes, we have private lending. We set that up. Sometimes we lend it ourselves. Sometimes we outsource it to some of our strategic partners, but we'll lend the money to buy and renovate the home. A typical what that loan would look like it's about 3.3 points of loan origination. So if you've got an $80,000 loan, that's $2,400 most lenders do require for you to bring that up front, and now you're in it for an $80,000 loan at 12% which, five years ago, that sounded crazy to borrow at 12% but with for private lending, that's not bad at all, especially you want to get in and out of it quickly. So if we're renovating the home, and you know, 50 days, if you're already pre approved with your lender, and they have all your documents by the time we finish renovating the home, the appraisals lined up, and you could be in and out of these private loans in about 90 days. That love that depends on the lending side, that you're giving the lender what they need. But ideally you want to be in these things about 90 to 120 days. So $80,000 loan at 12% that $800 a month. So if you're in it for 90 days, 800 times 320, 700 plus the loan origination fee. But that's how you do it. That's the you're just borrowing money to finance the acquisition, the rehab and the refinance   Keith Weinhold  32:03   that is an option for you if you don't have the cash here to come in with these burr strategy properties. Alex, tell us more about it. Really, what I would like to know is, when an investor gets their appraisal, their after repair value, how many want to sell it for a profit, and how many want to hold it with a tenant for long term income   Alex Craig  32:26   so far, zero. Want to sell it for a profit. If you're all in it for add and then you're selling for 100 once you sell it, there are other fees involved. You got to hire a realtor. Right now is a great time to hold it's a slow real estate market. I don't think Little Rock from an aspect, is where home ownership is down. I think that's a nationwide thing. So I think if you're going into this, you certainly want to look at it from perspective. This is a buy and hold. I don't think this is the best market to get into to buy something. Flip it with a in the example, we use a $20,000 margin with buyer concessions, realtor commissions. That's a lot of work involved. And let's just say it did work out. You sold it for 100 but you had to pay 2% closing in an agent fee, and you got some holding cost. Let's just say you netted 8000 that might be good for a six month return, but I feel like there's a lot of risk. I feel like our job as what we do for our clients, is to minimize risk. So someone came and said, Hey, I want to flip it. I would say, Well, I don't think it's the best market for it right now. I think you want to get into this buy and hold.   Keith Weinhold  33:29   Yes, Alex has been doing this for a long time, and he's a specific expert right there in that local market. Buy and hold is a strategy that most likely makes sense. And he also strongly recommends pay cash if possible, instead of using that 12% short term private lending option, like he mentioned before, because that can cut out about four to 5k worth of transactional cost. And then if you do buy and hold what Alex and his company offer there in Little Rock is essentially a cash flow boost, 0% management fee in year one and only 4% in year two. So that gives you some extra cash flow runway as well. And Alex, before I ask you if you have any last thoughts, I want to announce to you the audience, that we have a live event virtually next week, on July 17, at 8pm eastern for Little Rock BRRRRproperties that Alex is CO hosting with our investment coach, Naresh, where you can find these bird deals in this cash flowing market. In Little Rock you'll see actual bird deals recently completed with full breakdowns of their purchase prices, sort of these case studies, where you can see some real numbers and what the rehab budgets are and what the actual timelines were, and what the refi outcomes were like, and explore BRRRR ready properties that are currently available to own, if you so choose, on this upcoming live event that you can attend from the comfort of your own home. Learn the full process, from acquisition to renovation to property management to the financing of them, and again, everything is all handled by local experts, so that you don't have to live with the nightmare of remotely managing contractors, which I couldn't imagine doing. So whether you're a first time investor or you're scaling your portfolio, this is your chance to get boots on the ground, insight and a proven road map to burr success and really one of the most accessible markets in the country. Again, Alex here is CO hosting the event along with GRE investment coach, Naresh Vissa. It is a free, live virtual event again next week, Thursday, July 17, at 8pm Eastern. Sign up is open now at gre webinars.com it ought to be great. Alex, teaming with local experts like you has been of real benefit to our audience. Do you have any last thoughts about either Little Rock or burrs or the events that you're going to co host with our audience next week?   Alex Craig  35:57   So here's my last thought, as you were, you know, kind of concluding and I was reviewing what we had talked about. And one of the questions we get sometimes it's a fair question. It's like, well, if this is such a great deal, why don't you keep all the deals? So we hear that from time to time, and the simple answer is, we do. We do keep a lot of deals, and we're buying more real estate now, like I said, I feel like it's the easiest time to get into real estate. So we do, we do keep a lot. We're building a very large portfolio right now, but the house flipping to investors is just another business model that we have. And Property Management too. And we love property management, and we love building investor relationships. We've had a lot of investors we've had been with us since day one that we've developed really tight relationships with. So yes, we do keep a lot of the properties, and we sell properties too, and we and helps us build our management company, which you don't hear too many people say this, but we actually love property management. That's a hard thing to love, but we actually like it.   Keith Weinhold  36:54   That is more weird than Tom wheelwright loving taxes, perhaps, but Right. But I want to deal with somebody that really loves what they're doing, especially when they're protecting our asset and probably more importantly, when it comes to property management, protecting our time. So that's right, Alex, well, our viewers and listeners are really looking forward to it next week, again, that live event Thursday, July 17, at 8pm Eastern is something that you can sign up for now at grewebinars.com. Alex, we're looking forward to it next week.   Alex Craig  37:27   Bye, Keith, thank you.   Keith Weinhold  37:34   Oh yeah. Terrific overview on why the burr strategy can be so profitable. And our event next week. Now, when you rent your primary residence, which you would typically do in a high cost area, and then you own rental property elsewhere, typically a low cost area, do you know what that's called? Yeah, there is a name for that. Last week we spoke to two listener guests in California that are doing just that. That is called rentvesting. And yes, Little Rock is surely a popular low cost market for rentvesting. I have been on the ground myself in Little Rock with Alex's associate to do an on the ground tour of properties. There you want to tap into a system where you've got the guiding hand of both experience and belief. That's what you're doing here. As like he said, Alex personally owns 75 doors there. That is belief, and he's been doing this for out of area investors for 15 years. That's the experience part real proof of concept at next week's event, you'll be introduced to this same system where you can lean on their team for acquisition, renovation and management. Little Rock has an MSA population of about 770,000 but I think more importantly today, savvy investors are conscientious of keeping their expenses down, and for good reason, since they've been up all over the place. Now, the purchase price is 140 to 160k for these BRRRR optimized single family rentals. Remember that we used 100k just for ease of an example there, usually when you buy income property, you're really in at close to 25% of the purchase price when you add up the down payment and closing costs, but this way, you're in for just about half of that at 10 to 15% another low expense is that property tax, statewide, Arkansas Property Tax is just 610 of 1% so that's half the national average. And then your management expense is definitely going to be low for the first two years, because it is 0% in year one and 4% in year two. And these are properties that you can actually be pretty proud of. You'll learn more about this. Scope of work with a renovation on the webinar, often granite countertops in the kitchen is a live, remote event. So this means that you can have any of your questions answered in real time. Should you have them? As you can imagine, demand is high for these properties, and this is a chance to get connected directly with the team that makes it happen. We might never get Alex on an event like this again, and is co hosted with our GRE investment coach, Naresh. It's next week. It's free, Thursday, July 17, at 8pm Eastern, 5pm Pacific. Sign up now, or your future self might not be able to forgive yourself. You can do that now at grewebinars.com Until next week, I'm your host.
