Richard and Jonathan discuss the narratives that are driving the markets, and the fear factor for bond investors. Is the response to tariff threats an over-reaction? How to deal with emotions in investing. Menwhile, job satisfaction is highest among the 60+ crowd: The group has been working longer, and understands the value of socialization; retirement planning shold include qualitative elements. A look at Gen-z Worth Ethic. The Social Security Fairness Act is now the law of the land, signed on Sunday by President Biden. It promises to erase rules that penalized some retirees by eliminating two federal policies that barred employees with a public pension from collecting their full benefits under the federal retirement program and that reduced benefits for those workers' surviving spouses and family members. What about the depletion effect? Taxation of SS benefits is double taxation...and wrong. A look at the United Van Lines' Moving Destination survey; understanding the Wash Sale Rule (which has nothing to do with laundry soap); Do not depend on government clarity to interpret its own rules! A word about end-of-year tax-loss harvesting.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Friday, Jan. 10, 2025. A national study ranks West Virginia as the state with the highest inbound migration in 2024…a local businesswoman earns a mini-MBA through a crash course offered through a Goldman-Sachs WV cohort…and discover why the Canaan Valley region is referred to as the snow bowl…on today's daily304. #1 – From YAHOO – If you're thinking about moving to West Virginia, you'd be in good company. According to the 48th Annual National Movers Study, West Virginia was the state with the highest percentage of inbound migration (66%) last year among states experiencing more than 250 moves with United Van Lines. The Mountain State jumped nine spots on this year's inbound list, compared to the 2023 National Movers Study. The top motivations for moves to the state included wanting to be closer to family (35%) and a new job/company transfer (31%). Located in the Appalachian region, West Virginia is known for its range of outdoor activities, affordable housing and lower cost of living compared to the national average.

Waybright manages three businesses in Jenningston, West Virginia: Laurel River Club Bed & Breakfast, West Virginia School of Traditional Skills and Mama Bear Protection. She is one of 26 business owners who recently completed the program, designed to strengthen her business skills. BridgeValley Community & Technical College ran the program's with modules on themes including marketing, accounting and operations. Over 111,000 small business owners like Waybright account for 98.8% of the state's businesses and employ nearly half of the state's workforce. Read more: https://wvdn.com/150933/?es_id=0798aeaeac #3 – From WV EXPLORER – High in the Allegheny Mountains in eastern West Virginia lies a scenic valley with a Canadian-like climate in which it can snow 10 months out of the year. Though only two hours from the Washington beltway, the Canaan Valley receives more snow than the snowiest reporting station in Maine and a shorter growing season than Fairbanks, Alaska. What circumstances lead to this strange phenomenon? According to scientists, the reasons are as complex as they are simple. Christoph Vogel and Robert Leffler determined in a study of the region that elevation, position, and orientation were all contributing elements that notably support the valley's three ski areas, including two alpine resorts and a Nordic ski center. More specifically, they point out that the cold temperatures, increased precipitation, and the valley's similarity to a “huge bathtub” conspire to create its remarkably wintry conditions, which includes an average snowfall of 134 inches.

Join our live, virtual event for Alabama income properties tomorrow at: https://gremarketplace.com/webinar/ Learn a lesson from a story about when I was a landlord. My neighbor was a fourplex owner-occupant, just like me. We built a fence together. He told me that he can't wait to get his building paid off. Don't pay down your mortgage debt. In most cases, you can invest those dollars elsewhere for a higher return. I discuss two things build wealth: 1) Leverage. 2) Borrowing against your assets, tax-free. You don't have substantial equity in your properties because you paid them down. You have substantial equity because its value has appreciated. Today, you can report tenant rent payments to the credit reporting agencies. Alabama has low property prices and the nation's 2nd-lowest property taxes.

Speaker 2 (00:01:12) - You're listening to the show that has created more financial freedom than nearly any show in the world. Speaker 2 (00:01:19) - This is get rich education. Speaker 1 (00:01:28) - Welcome to GRE! From Dorchester, Massachusetts, to Westchester, Pennsylvania, and across 188 nations worldwide. I'm Keith Weinhold. Hold in your listening to get Rich education. I trust that you're prosperous and well in a still somewhat new year here, along with my usual gray research of market trends, teams, and properties I've been serving on and writing for the Forbes Real Estate Council. Next week we have a thought provoking show on whether America is actually undergoing a silent depression that's creeping up on us, but I've got an important story to tell you today. It's really rather formative and foundational to the, I suppose, mind spring of abundantly minded real estate ideation. When I bought my first Seminole fourplex building for $295,000 about 20 years ago, you know, there was an identical fourplex right next to it. It was bought about the same time as mine, and it was bought by another guy about my age. His name's Patrick. We each had these blue fourplex next to each other, and I still remember his full name, although I'll just stick with his first name, Patrick here. Speaker 1 (00:02:46) - He was a data and security engineer. Really sharp guy. And by the way, he only paid 275 K for his nearly identical fourplex next to mine. And since I paid 295, I felt like I overpaid. But he and I, we got to know each other a little bit. We kind of had a similar path. All right, as owner occupants, each living in one of our four units and renting out the other three and doing that right next to each other. We would compare notes as to how it was going with being an on site landlord. And, you know, Patrick and I, we both kind of figured out that we were living for free. And that's because the three $725 rent incomes, there were enough to pay our mortgages and our operating expenses on the buildings, but after that, there was really nothing left over. But we effectively had a free place to live in one of the fourplex units. Now, a few times, Patrick and I collaborated on some projects together to improve things around our contiguous fourplex buildings, and I specifically remember that one day we had bought materials at Home Depot, and then we met outside to build a fence together, and it was just this cheap host and rail style fence that we made with two by fours and painted blue is something that he and I built at the back of our buildings in order to keep vagrants from cutting through our yards. Speaker 1 (00:04:19) - This was in Anchorage, Alaska, and Anchorage has a lot of these paved bike paths all throughout the city. And vagrants also use those to get around. And we had this bike path right behind our fourplex. Now, as you know, I am not that good at building stuff or fixing broken stuff. Okay, but this fence project that we were doing, it wasn't too complicated. And I had Patrick right there to help. Now, by this time, I had probably owned the fourplex for about two years, and I was really just starting to get this realization for what real estate investing could do for me, because I had only made a small down payment, yet the fourplex had appreciated quite a bit. This was around 2005, and I didn't even know that that effect was called leverage yet. But anyway, Patrick and I, as we're building this fence together or talking about our properties, he said one thing I can distinctly remember, and it's something that a lot of people say, and that is, I can't wait until I have this property paid off. Speaker 1 (00:05:30) - Now, back at this time, there was no gray, yet I'm still rather fresh and new to real estate investing. This fourplex was the only property that I owned, but already this desire to have the property paid off, that is not a feeling I shared that did not resonate with me. Okay, I responded to him with something like, oh, do you think that's the best use of your money? All right, because I had a mortgage interest rate of five and 3/8 at the time, and his was probably pretty close to that too. Well, I told him that I want to keep the debt on my property because instead I could invest my spare dollars elsewhere and get a better return than five and 3/8. And that fact would be true even if my interest rate were eight or more. Really, his only reply to that is that he just simply doesn't like having debt. That's about the only answer that he had, even though it's usually irrational to. Pay off good debt like that. Now my financial freedom ideas, they were still in their nascent period back then. Speaker 1 (00:06:34) - I sure wasn't going around and saying that financially free beats debt free or anything like that. That wasn't quite putting it that way yet. I sure didn't say, hey, don't you know that the scarcity mentality is abundant and the abundance mentality is scarce? Or that compound interest is weak in compound leverage is powerful? Or that a rich man digs for gold and a poor man is concerned with the cost of a shovel. But I already knew that if you focus on debt paydown like taking all your extra dollars to accelerate the principal pay down on, just say one fourplex building, you are just borrowing one deep hole in to the property. It's like a deep hole that might even cave in. Instead, wealth is built by expanding your portfolio size. More doors, more income, more leverage, serving more people with housing, and actually more safety because you can be in more markets that way. See, you gotta give your money multiple jobs. So the lesson is, Patrick and I were already on divergent mindset paths because by that time I had read books like Rich dad, Poor Dad, and it got me thinking differently. Speaker 1 (00:07:54) - You know, it was the whole don't get your money to work for you get other people's money to work for you and that whole thing. Speaker 3 (00:07:59) - I don't even think about it. I'm built a little differently, I guess, because I have had people come up to me and say, how do you do it, sir? How do you do it? I don't even think about it. Speaker 1 (00:08:10) - Nuh uh. Geez. I, I do it because if you don't want to run with the herd, then you've got to think and act differently in order to diverge from the herd. Keep leveraging more income property. So Patrick and I built the fence that day, and I don't really know how much he paid down his building's principal balance, which is a lot like sending off your dollars to go die. But I can tell you what I did. Okay. About another year went by after building the fence. So now we're into year three of me owning the fourplex. What I did is I kept the building, but I got a home equity line of credit, second mortgage on the fourplex, and then I use those funds to make a down payment on a single family home so that I could live offsite and get some privacy from my fourplex tenants. Speaker 1 (00:09:06) - So this is the start of me acting diversely from the herd. It was the opposite of paying down my property, borrowing against it instead. Yeah, I took more debt out on it, which is a tax free event, by the way, and you could go to 90% loan to value back then. Yes, that's back when dollars were being lent out more freely. I mean, that's what wealthy people do. What do wealthy people do when they need money? They just keep borrowing against the value of their assets. And it's a tax free event since the IRS does not tax debt. So if you want to be wealthy, that's what you do. What I also did by doing this was expand my portfolio size, increase my leverage ratio. And since I vacated one of the four fourplex units, now I had four rent incomes rather than three. I mean, that is, some don't live below your means grow. You mean stuff right there. And then two years after that, I kind of did the same thing again. Speaker 1 (00:10:08) - I borrowed against my properties, and I used the funds as a 10% down payment on a second, more expensive fourplex building. So now I lived in a single family home and I had to fourplex buildings. And then a few years later, when equity accumulated in those two fourplex buildings, I sold them and did a 1031 exchange into two larger apartment buildings. Everything I've done so far is tax free, all expanding the portfolio, all serving more tenants, all reducing my risk despite increasing my debt, because the tenant pays the debt for me. And it was all with almost none of my own money. Instead, it's just using accumulated equity from one property and rolling it into more. Just keep rolling those same funds forward. Okay, so that is all what I'll call one line of leveraged equity. And by then I was beginning other lines because I started to buy property out of state and in multiple states. And it wasn't until 2012 that I discovered that buying across state lines is possible. It's proven. And that's where the real deals are. Speaker 1 (00:11:22) - I mean, you might want to own some properties in your local market or you might not. But see, the thing is, is that there are 387 MSAs, Metropolitan statistical areas in the US as defined by the Census Bureau. So if you're only buying in your local market, chances are you're not getting the best deals. And another way to think about your portfolio's growth in your real estate equity management is to consider the fact that you don't have substantial equity in your home right now because you paid it down. You have equity in your home because it increased in value. So you can use equity from your home to buy perhaps ten other rental homes, as long as you can control cash flow. So it's about trading away antiquated notions of safety and security in exchange for freedom. But now most of Patrick and I's conversation about being neighboring fourplex landlords for a few years was, I would say, more anthropogenic meaning relating to human activity. Yes, that is dealing with tenants because although the discipline is called property management, it could just as well be called tenant management. Speaker 1 (00:12:39) - And early on, this is where my naivete got exposed, like with a tenant that was laid on the rent and he said he'd pay it, but then he didn't pay rent and I had to a victim early on. I inherited that tenant from the previous owner, so I did not get to screen him. Now, three weeks ago here on our Christmas episode, when we did How the Rent Stole Christmas. That was fun. I shared a lot of my tenant relations tips with you on how to help ensure that your rent gets paid, but today you can do something that you couldn't do when I got started in real estate, you can report your tenants rent payments to the credit reporting agencies and affect their credit score. So if you are a do it yourself landlord today and you're doing your screening, you know, I would tell prospective tenants that before they even apply for your vacancy and put it in a positive light, make it known that one attribute of renting from you is that with their timely rent payments, it can help their credit score. Speaker 1 (00:13:42) - So position it positively rather than any sort of threat, and it's going to help you get more timely rent payments if that's been a problem for you. Yes. Institute reporting to the credit bureaus, the credit scoring agencies, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. That is another handle that you have as a landlord today. Yes. The only guarantee is that there will be some inevitable real estate problems for you. But like problems with anything else in life, your mind and my mind, we tend to inflate the significance of problems, whether it's a tenant that you just can't get to change their AC filters, or an unexpected water leak, or an overgrown tree that you have to pay an arborist to handle, or a persistently late paying tenant. Oftentimes, your fear about the problem is worse than the problem itself. In fact, it was the stoic philosopher Seneca that said, there are more things likely to frighten us than there are to crush us. We suffer more often in imagination than in reality. Gosh, isn't that so? On point? Yeah, we suffer more in imagination than we do in reality. Speaker 1 (00:15:01) - You can say that about most any problem that you've ever had in your life. Now, some things have changed and some things have stayed the same since I began my real estate journey with that blue Anchorage fourplex. It looks like there are some signs of hope for financial education in the near future here. Formal financial education. When it was recently announced that Pennsylvania, my native state, will become the 25th US state to have a formal, standalone financial education class in high school. Hey, that's a really good start. But one constant seems to be that the dispiriting saying don't live below your means. You know, that still seems to trump the aspirational grow your means. And it's not about whether a person is intelligent or unintelligent in adopting one or the other. It's really more about having the ability to think freely. Now, today, I have a friend that's the chief financial officer, the CFO of a publicly traded corporation. He and I got together a few times last year, and he can talk about earnings reports and EBITDA. Speaker 1 (00:16:12) - And he knows that language of business. He's a super sharp guy. But he told me that he has his house, his family's primary residence paid off. And I asked him about that, and I told him that I keep the maximum debt on mine. And why now? Your primary residence. It's not like a fourplex where your tenant pays your debt for you, but you've got to pay your own debt on your own home. Yet the mortgage rate on a primary residence is lower than it is on a rental. So the question persists is that really the best place to park your dollar? Is that where it's doing multiple jobs? You've got to consider that it's illiquid and its ROI is zero. Now, I didn't quite put it that starkly with my CFO friend, but in any case, and remember, this is a chief financial officer. He's a guy that's good with money. You know, at least he did give me this. He said from a financial perspective, he knows that it makes zero sense to have a paid off home. Speaker 1 (00:17:16) - It just makes him feel better. And, you know, I accepted that this is not the way that I view the world. And that's okay. Coming up next in in-house chat with one of our gray investment coaches as we talk about the real estate market overall, controlling your rising expenses as a real estate investor and about real estate in the southeast Alabama, as well as an invitation for you with some pretty generous incentives that I think you're going to be excited about. I'm Keith Reinhold, you're listening to get Rich education. Role under the specific expert with income property you need. Ridge lending Group Nmls 42056.

You know, I'll just tell you, for the most passive part of my real estate investing, personally, I put my own dollars with Freedom Family Investments because their funds pay me a stream of regular cash flow in returns are better than a bank savings account up to 12%. Speaker 1 (00:18:45) - Their minimums are as low as 25 K. You don't even need to be accredited for some of them. It's all backed by real estate and that kind of love. How the tax benefit of doing this can offset capital gains and your W-2 jobs income. They've always given me exactly their stated return paid on time. So it's steady income, no surprises while I'm sleeping or just doing the things I love. For a little insider tip, I've invested in their power fund to get going on that text family to 66866. Oh, and this isn't a solicitation. If you want to invest where I do, just go ahead and text family to six, six eight, six, six. Speaker 4 (00:19:34) - This is our rich dad, Poor dad author Robert Kiyosaki. Listen to get rich education with eat whine oh God put your daddy. Speaker UU (00:19:45) - You you you you you you you you. Speaker 1 (00:19:53) - Hey. Well, today I'd like to welcome you in our terrific investment coach, Andrea, for an in-house chat here. How's it going, Andrea? Speaker 5 (00:20:01) - Hey, Keith. Speaker 5 (00:20:02) - Doing good. Trying to recover from the holidays. How are you? Speaker 1 (00:20:05) - Yeah, it's still a fairly new year here. The holidays were a few weeks ago with the advent of a new year. Andrea, a lot of people make a resolution to increase the residual income, often by expanding the real estate portfolio. So really just taking the temperature here. How's your feel about the pulse of today's income property market? Speaker 5 (00:20:26) - It's been interesting the past year, right? We've had a lot of ups and downs. I would say what we've typically seen from the different markets across the US, particularly the southeast, which is what we're going to talk about a little bit more today. We have seen that there's still inventory out there right now. We've seen interest rates slightly go down, not significantly, but we have seen some decreases. And we're seeing pretty steady demand for income properties right now. Speaker 1 (00:20:49) - Yeah. Mortgage interest rates down more than 1% from their peak in October last year. Yeah. Oftentimes real estate and the pulse of the market comes down to supply and demand. Speaker 1 (00:21:00) - To your point the demand sure is not going away. We've got a population growth, and we have a lot of pent up demand from the huge millennial cohort. And then over there on the supply side, there is so much new building in the multifamily space, but there's really a dearth of supply and a dearth of new supply coming onto the market for 1 to 4 unit properties. Speaker 5 (00:21:23) - Yes, there is. And we're seeing a lot of that growth, like I mentioned in the southeast, which are the markets that I personally invest in. And I, you know, have a lot of our listeners go to to purchase as well. So very excited about what we're seeing happen in 2024 and what that means for our investors. Speaker 1 (00:21:38) - Yeah. Now, back at the beginning of the year, two prominent moving companies, U-Haul and United Van Lines, they released their migration report for the year ended last year. And the southeast quadrant of the nation by far, that had the most net migration growth states in their list easily. Speaker 5 (00:21:58) - It did. And I think that's going to continue. We're going to talk about that a little bit. Speaker 1 (00:22:02) - Well, we pull back in. Just think nationally before we go into the southeast. You know, oftentimes investors of course are thinking about controlling their expenses. That's been a big issue that bubbled up last year is probably going to continue to be one this year. So we're talking about investors controlling their expense side from mortgage rates to property insurance rates that have really spiked. So do you notice any trends with controlling investors expense side? Since you and I are active investors ourselves? Speaker 5 (00:22:34) - A couple of things that I've noticed in the southeast and my personal investments, as well as some of the markets that we have turnkey relationships with. Keith, we are seeing insurance continue to go up just a little bit, but we're not seeing those reckless, you know, doubling that we saw over the last 2 to 3 years. So it's going up not seeing doubling. So I'm hopeful that that continues. And it's not we're not seeing that fast rapid increase. Speaker 5 (00:22:55) - The other thing that we're seeing a lot of is a lot of our turnkey companies that we work with, we're starting to see kind of property management costs stabilize or go down in certain areas. So we're seeing that expense decrease. The other thing is we're not seeing as rapid of increases and material costs and labor costs right now still going up. Things are not, you know, going down by any means, but we're not seeing those costs go up as much either. So this is allowing the investors to have a little bit more money in their pocket than they did over the last 2 to 3 years during the pandemic. Speaker 1 (00:23:25) - Yeah, it's not that big of a consideration for an investor on the expense side. But yes, I do see more evidence of lower property management costs. So can you talk to us more about that trend? Is it more of the infiltration of technology into the space that's bringing the cost down for property management? Speaker 5 (00:23:44) - Such a great question. And I do think that is part of it for sure. Speaker 5 (00:23:47) - We're seeing a couple of things here. We're seeing some of these smaller kind of mom and pop property management companies. They are stepping out. They can't really afford to keep up with the technology and all the changes that are happening in the property management space, and what's causing that happen is these property management companies that can do a little bit larger scale. They're able to get these nicer systems and this better technology and things for their investors to be able to use as well as their tenants. And we are seeing that bring the cost down of property management a little bit. Speaker 1 (00:24:16) - You're seeing more infiltration of institutional investment money into the single family rental space and rentals up to $4 per unit. And those companies, those institutional investors have deep pockets, and they have the ability to go ahead and implement a lot of these technology systems. So that's making it so that others, including these smaller mom and pop property management companies, they need to keep up with their technology that's lowering property management costs across these mom and pop property managers are going to be put out of business. Speaker 1 (00:24:48) - So there are so many pros and cons about institutional investment money coming into the space. And that's just one of the potential pros for everyday investors. Speaker 5 (00:24:57) - You're exactly right. I have nothing to add to that because you were spot on with that comment. Speaker 1 (00:25:01) - Anything else, just in general that you see across the real estate market that you really think a real estate investor needs to know today? Speaker 5 (00:25:08) - One thing that I really think is important for people to keep in the back of their minds is I talked to a lot of our listeners who are very, very interested in dipping their toes in the water, or they've been kind of sitting to the side the last few months, kind of seeing what will happen with the market. Right now is the time for you to invest. If you wait a few months, I suspect in several of these markets you may see interest rates come down, but you're going to see prices go up and you're going to see even more of a lack of inventory. So just kind of keep that in mind as you're thinking about where to invest, how to invest and when to invest. Speaker 1 (00:25:38) - Here in gray. We've often talked about the fact that higher mortgage interest rates actually correlate with higher prices, not lower ones. And I think some people were sitting on the sidelines saying, is that really going to be the case? Yeah, we saw mortgage interest rates triple and prices still went up. A lot of people think rates are poised to fall this year. It's probably going to put more upward pressure on prices. Andrea, when we talk about one controlling their expense side, I think something that a lot of people overlook, and this is so simple, is buying in a state or buying in a market that simply has low property prices, because that's the best indicator of giving you a high ratio of rent income to purchase price. Low priced states. Speaker 5 (00:26:23) - That's right. Yeah. And so I mentioned this in the last couple of minutes. But the southeast and the Midwest are those two areas where you really do have those lower cost properties that even if you're an entry level investor, you can get in there pretty easily. Speaker 1 (00:26:36) - And now we've had a lot of investor interest in Florida with all their in-migration. We still like that market, but prices have really run up there. So we've increasingly had investor interest from our followers and people that you help coach about another southeastern state. Speaker 5 (00:26:52) - That's right. So that market is Alabama. So we have had a provider that has been offering turnkey, fully renovated properties and sometimes new construction in the Alabama market. And it has been an absolute wonderful market for our listeners that have actually invested in that area. Speaker 1 (00:27:09) - Alabama, compared to a place like Florida, has substantially lower property prices. We're talking about you as an investor here controlling the expense side. Alabama has the second lowest property taxes in the entire nation, second only to Hawaii. So that's something that's really baked into your recipe here with income property in Alabama. Speaker 5 (00:27:32) - That's right. I mean, there's been increases in property taxes across the US over the last few years as values come up. But of course, in Alabama you haven't seen those fast rises. Speaker 5 (00:27:42) - And because the rates are so low, it's going to adjust kind of accordingly with the market. So you're not going to see anything creep up really quickly there as well. Speaker 1 (00:27:49) - In general. And a lot of jurisdictions you see property taxes increase commensurately with the value of your property. And we've been in Alabama with a really renowned provider there that provides property almost statewide across Alabama, and you're going to co-host with them on a great live event for Alabama Income Properties, because right now they're really offering a good set of incentives and they have available properties. So tell us more about that. Speaker 5 (00:28:24) - Like you mentioned, they have properties across the state. So you have kind of an option of which geography within Alabama that you would want to invest in. They have different kind of price points as well. And then like you mentioned, they have some very exciting incentives. And I don't think that I have seen an incentive this good as far as property management goes in a really long time. So what they are offering our listeners is called the 333. Speaker 5 (00:28:50) - And essentially what this is, is if an investor wants to purchase up to three properties, you can purchase one, 2 or 3. You're not committed to a certain number. You're going to get a 3% property management fee for three years on these three properties. Once you go over three, it does revert back to the normal price of 9% for the property management that you can get 3%, which is kind of crazy. Speaker 1 (00:29:11) - So the incentive offered on this great live event that you're going to co-host tomorrow night is that three, three, three incentive. Let me just review it so that we have it right for a limited time. There's going to be a 3% property management fee for three years on up to three properties. Speaker 5 (00:29:29) - That's exactly right. Yep. Speaker 1 (00:29:31) - That is really attractive when it comes to controlling the investors expense side. Speaker 5 (00:29:36) - It certainly is. That's not the only incentive they have, though. So they're also offering across their entire inventory, 5.99% interest rate on the purchases of any of these properties. And that's really low. Speaker 1 (00:29:48) - That is really compelling. Yes. So that's substantially lower even than what you can get for an income property rate today. Income property rates are typically, oh, something like three quarters of 1% higher than what you typically see on that 30 year fixed rate mortgage. And that's what we're talking about here. This builder and provider buying down your mortgage rate for you to 5.99% interest. Do you know about the terms on that. Is that 30 year fixed advertising or. Speaker 5 (00:30:14) - Yes, that is 30 year fixed amortizing. So you're not looking at anything variable. You're looking at kind of your mortgage payment every single month, which is really nice. Speaker 1 (00:30:22) - Yeah. That's like rolling back the clock to to three years with getting a mortgage rate like that. That's going to help a number of people. Andrea, I'd like to get your thoughts. Do you have very many people that you work with? Here are followers when you're coaching that want to self-manage remotely or do they want that remote property manager? Speaker 5 (00:30:41) - I don't think in the past year I've spoken with one investor that plan to actually purchase and manage themselves remotely. Speaker 5 (00:30:47) - Everyone wants to use the property management function, which this particular provider does have property management in house. Speaker 1 (00:30:55) - So they will want to use that 3% property management fee. Not being a do it yourself or, you know, they're probably taking after me. I don't want the job of property management. That's just a business. I don't really want to have that much to do with. I love to outsource that duty to somebody else. A big reason that a lot of people self-manage their property is because they just don't have that much of a gap between their income and their expenses. So when you buy in an investor advantaged market like Alabama, where you have a high ratio of rent income to purchase price, you can therefore have one of those expenses. Be your property manager, especially when it's only 3% in this case. So those are some really good incentives. The three, three, three and a 5.99% interest rate. Is there anything else you can tell us, especially with on tomorrow night's live event with what markets within Alabama we're going to be talking about? Speaker 5 (00:31:44) - Yeah. Speaker 5 (00:31:45) - So we're going to focus on a couple different markets. We're going to look at Huntsville as well as Birmingham. We may also talk about some markets that are in the southeast that they have some properties in outside of Alabama. So just stay tuned. I'm not promising that. But we may talk about that a little bit depending on how things go. The other thing that I think is really important to keep in mind is we're going to have a live buying opportunity. So we're actually going to show you some of the properties that are available right now. You're going to be able to see all the financials on them. And you can reserve them as soon as you want right after we get off. While we're on it, however you want to do it, we can buy it tomorrow. Speaker 1 (00:32:18) - That is a really actionable event. Tell us more about the event, how one can register and be on there with you so that they can have their questions answered by you and the provider in real time. That's really the benefit of you attending tomorrow. Speaker 5 (00:32:33) - You can go out to GR webinars. Com you'll be able to register there. It'll be at the very top of the page. Make sure that you know you fill in all of your information. You'll get an automatic email that'll remind you to get on to the webinar tomorrow, and you can jump on. You're going to have the opportunity to ask live questions. So we're going to be there to answer them. And then we'll go through the properties. And if you're ready to reserve, I can hop on a call with you right after we get off of the webinar and kind of talk through what inventory that we have available and help you through that process. Speaker 1 (00:33:03) - Well, Andrew, before I ask you if you have any last thoughts, just summing it up here. I really encourage you, the listener, to join the live virtual event because you can see real properties like Andrea mentioned in an Investor Advantage market and get any questions answered that you have answered in real time, whether it's about the cash flow or property insurance costs or your property manager.

Steve Grzanich has the business news of the day with the Wintrust Business Minute. United Van Lines says the number of people moving out of Illinois pushed the state to second among most moved-from states in 2022. New Jersey was first. The rating is based on the inbound and outbound moves with the company. Illinois […]
California residents are leaving the state in record numbers, and cities are suffering the most. It started with the COVID pandemic, but studies show it's not slowing down. A report done by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago say numbers from the moving company United Van Lines show 60% of their business in California is from people leaving the state altogether. For more on, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reising and Kris Ankarlo spoke with Matthew Kahn, Urban Economics Professor at USC and author of "Going Remote."
In this episode of Commitment Matters, Mary speaks with Dr. Ted Jones, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President at Stewart Title Guaranty Company. If you'd like to learn more about the company, check out Stewart.com. You can reach Ted by email at tejones@stewart.com, read his blog at blog.stewart.com or follow him on Twitter. During their conversation, Ted or Mary mentioned: The pandemic accelerated moving rates out of California and the New England states and into the Pacific Northwest, Southwest and Southern states.It's been more than two years (700+ days) since the pandemic shut everything down and people started to work from home. Ted says that it takes about 66 days of repeating an action to make it a habit, so now working remotely has become a lifestyle.From July 2020-July 2021, The U.S. population grew 0.01%. The top growing states were Idaho (1.9%), Utah (1.7%), Montana (1.7%), Arizona (1.4%), South Carolina (1.2%), Delaware (1.2%).Texas grew 1.3%, but gained the most in total population (more than 300,000). Florida was second, gaining 200,000 people. Ted points out that Washington, D.C. had the biggest population percentage loss (2.9%). He notes that's probably because of high taxes. California, New York, Illinois and Hawaii are other high tax states that many people have moved from.Check out TurboTax's list of states with highest and lowest tax rates. In 2014, the U.S. produced 8.8 million barrels of oil per day with 525,000 workers. Oil prices were $93 per barrel. In 2020, the U.S. produced 30% more oil (nearly 13 million barrels per day) with 40% fewer workers. Oil prices dropped 60%. Ted says the U.S. currently produces oil with 76% fewer drilling rigs because of how technology has impacted business. Here's the latest Drilling Productivity Report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration. In February 2020-May 2020, the U.S. lost 24 million jobs (14.7% of the workforce). Currently, several states have higher levels of job growth than ever before; Utah, Idaho, Texas and Arizona.Ted says the hospitality industry will take a long time to recover since people are invested in their new homes and are working from home. The hardest hit states are Nevada (4.7% short) and Hawaii (12.4% short). Ted describes the 380 Metropolitan statistical areas, which are smaller cities that have a population of 50,000 or more. These areas are succeeding more in job growth and job recovery from the pandemic. United Van Lines shared its most popular inbound and outbound states by percentage during 2021. In the service industry, Ted points out the differences that the addition of drive-thrus, drive-up windows and curbside pickup can make on a business. He used the example of Chipotle adding drive-thru windows and saw store sales increase by 15%.Ted describes omnichannel marketing as the best way to sell to reach customers of all demographics and markets.Ted talks about an over-valued stock market, using Tesla as an example. Tesla sold 1.2% of the 70 million cars sold worldwide last year, however, the company is worth $1.1 trillion, which is equal to the combined market cap of nine carmakers who sold 57 million cars in 2021.

If you'd like to learn more about the company, check out Stewart.com. You can reach Ted by email at tejones@stewart.com, read his blog or follow him on Twitter. During their conversation, Ted or Mary mentioned: Ted says the biggest economic concern right now is inflation, with the consumer level at around 7.5% and wholesale level at 9.7%. On average, Americans are making only about 5% more than a year ago.Ted believes the American Rescue Plan, passed in 2021, is contributing to higher rates and could have very long-term effects. In the last decade (2010-2019), the U.S. added more than 22 million net new jobs and 10.5 million net new dwelling units, which averages 2.11 new jobs per dwelling unit (Ted says ideally, you want 1.25-1.5 new jobs per unit). The U.S. entered 2020 between only 4.2 and 7.2 million dwellings. Mary and Ted discuss the difficulties of keeping up with supply and demand, as seen in many industries right now: energy, lumber, home improvement, appliances and housing. The Zonda Index is a quarterly report that calculates the affordability of building a new home in any given city. After housing, energy is consumers' highest cost. Between inflation and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, gas prices are at an all-time high, an even bigger influx than seen in 2008. Ted estimates that consumers have $2.7 trillion saved up during the pandemic. Freddie Mac announced 30-year conventional fixed rate mortgages have dropped 3.76%, about a full percentage from this same time last year (note: the rates are updated weekly). The federal debt is at $30 trillion. Ted expresses concerns for rising interest rates, which could set the government back another $1 trillion per year. Stagflation is a term used to describe high inflation combined with high unemployment. Ted relates the term in commercial real estate to owning vacant properties during a stagnant economy. In a survey, 46% of Americans said they would take a pay cut to continue working from home. Additionally, 35% said if they were forced to go back into the office, they would find a new job. For a full report on remote work stats, click here. Last week, two of the top ten metro cities (Austin,TX and Houston,TX) had at least 50% of workers in their office buildings. The other metro areas saw around 30%, which means there's a lot of empty office space. Ted gives the example of how Amazon, Google and even hospitals are repurposing empty shopping malls to help with their growth. The Build Back Better Framework would increase corporate taxes and income taxes on high income individuals to provide funding for various proposed programs. Ted says it may encourage the government to continue to offshore manufacturing.Housing prices are at an all-time high, causing a rise in renters and a decline in homeowners. In a survey conducted by Redfin, 52% of millennials and Gen Z first-time homebuyers said they paid for their home with savings of their paycheck. 24% got it from their stimulus payments. According to a survey from Mizuho Securities, nearly 10% of stimulus checks went toward buying cryptocurrency or stocks. In 70% of U.S. cities, it is cheaper to rent than to own a home, as opposed to three years ago, when it was cheaper to buy.Last year, more total commercial real estate was sold in the U.S. than ever before, worth nearly $790 billion. More than $300 billion of that was spent on apartments.In a survey of more than 200,000 apartment dwellers, 25% said they would move this year. Of those, 49% wanted a more affordable apartment; 29% wanted more amenities; and 28% wanted more space.U-Haul reported Texas as its top inbound destination for movers last year. United Van Lines shows their top ten inbound and outbound states from 2021. Ted mentions a new hybrid mortgage from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It has fixed interest rates for five, seven or ten years and can only go up or down 1% per year maximum.Ted details an investment opportunity that currently yields 7%. The Series I Savings Bond from Treasury Direct is repriced based on inflation every six months. Working in the title industry, Ted warns of cryptocurrency like NFTs, as they are high-risk investments and title companies are in the business of eliminating risk.On average, RON transactions are saving lenders $444 per transaction, and saving title companies $100.

Check it out below: Chris Larsen 00:00 If you're in sales, it's a lot easier to make money if you have more customers moving to an area, right? So invest in areas with that what I call a rising tide, invest with operators that think the same way and you don't have to know all the answers but know the questions to ask, Hey, you know, why are you investing in this space in the sector? Why are you investing in this region? Why are you investing in the city? Why are you investing in this neighborhood? And a good operator should be able to go through and answer all of those questions because I think the last thing, not the first thing you should look at the last thing you should look at are the numbers in a deal. Intro 00:36 Welcome to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Show. Whether you are an active or passive investor, we will teach you how to scale your real estate investing business into something big. Sam Wilson 00:47 Chris Larsen is the Founder and Managing Partner of Next-Level Income through which he helps investors become financially independent through education investment opportunities. Chris has been investing in and managing real estate for over 20 years. Chris, welcome to the show. Chris Larsen 01:01 Damn. Great to be here not too far away. I'm like almost on the other side of Tennessee we're like just on the other side of the border here and Asheville, North Carolina. Sam Wilson 01:08 You are but you're not in the Delta. The Delta is flat, actually different. Way different, way different. Yeah, man. It's that's loads of fun. Love your home state and certainly love your hometown Asheville. It's a beautiful place to be. Chris in 90 seconds or less, there's three questions I asked every guest on the show. Can you tell us where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there? Chris Larsen 01:27 Yeah, so I started at age 21. I talk about a lot of this in my book and if you want to get it. nextlevelincome.com, you click on the book link, I will send you a copy if you're listening here today. I wanted to have financial independence, Sam because I was racing bicycles and didn't make a lot of money. Long story short, my best friend, my trading partner, my college roommate passed away a race for another year after that. And when I came out the other side, I realized that you know, there was more to life than racing. But I knew that to live life to the fullest, you still needed financial independence. So I set out on my journey started in the stock market read 250 books over the course of four and a half, five years, ultimately decided on real estate bought my first property you mentioned, I've been doing this for over 20 years, at 21 bought my first property, continued to buy single family rentals before entering a career in the medical device industry because I needed to make some money to buy properties to be an investor. I manage those properties for about 15 years before moving into commercial, our main business now I was able to leave the medical device industry due to our real estate investments. And our main business now focuses on commercial real estate. So we started investing in deals personally. And now we syndicate deals. So we allow other investors to come in alongside us, and we've expanded outside of multifamily to also include self-storage, mobile home parks, and even personally, we run a couple of Airbnbs now as well and when I'm not doing that I spend as much time as I can with my 10-, 12-year-old boys. We're about to go skiing in snowshoe this weekend as a matter of fact. Sam Wilson 02:58 Oh, that's fantastic. I love that. Chris, one of the things you said was that I've heard about you is why you shouldn't invest in your 401(k). Now you said you read 400, 250 books, whatever, more than enough books and then decided to invest in real estate. What does that even mean? And why do you say don't invest in your 401(k)? I want to hear something controversial right out of the gate. Chris Larsen 03:18 Yeah, so I was like, What can I say that is gonna get people's attention. It's a little controversial. So I'll never forget, I was sitting there with my accountant five or six years ago, and he looks at me, he goes, Chris, you got to stop contributing to your retirement plan. And I'm looking at him like, “What do you mean?” Because I worked for Medtronic right down the road from you in Memphis, Tennessee, for 10 years, had a company match put a lot of money into my 401(k) did very well. And what he said to me, it made me think a lot differently. Sam, he said, “The problem, Chris, is you're going to be stuck with these required minimum distributions in retirement.” And I thought, okay, that's right. Now, here's something we don't really think about. If you invest $100,000, a 10%, rate of return and you're paying 30% tax today, and you get tax-deferred returns, okay? And then you don't have to pay tax in the future or you invest that same $100,000, 10% return, don't pay tax today, but pay 30% tax in the future. In what scenario do you have more money, a dancer's thought the same, or then so the variable Sam is taxes. And implicitly if we decide to invest tax-deferred in a retirement account, we're implicitly deciding that we're going to pay a lower tax rate in the future. Right now, how many people think the taxes are going down? If you're watching, raise your hand, if you're listening, raise your hand if you think taxes are going down. If you know I took my hand down, I think taxes are going up in the future. And if you're listening to the show, if you're an investor, if you're a real estate, entrepreneur, or operator, you're probably going to continue to make a lot of money. You got to be careful about that. So that's why I switched from investing in my retirement accounts and I started putting money into cash value life insurance, which is a lot more secure from creditors and has given me a lot more control. So, again, I'm not saying no one should ever do that. But you need to evaluate your choices, especially if you're an entrepreneur and you shift away from having a company match, you know, there are a lot of other options out there. Sam Wilson 05:11 Right? Yeah, that's really intriguing. And we've certainly talked about that several times on this show is the opportunity and value of using cash or whole life insurance policy and how to properly structure that. So that's really intriguing. I love that thought there. Let's talk a little bit about how you started to scale your own commercial business, because you, you did single family, you did a bunch of that for 15 years, then you finally you know, we're able to step away from your day job. He said, “I want to get involved in commercial. How did you even pick your first asset?” Chris Larsen 05:38 Yeah. So about almost 10 years ago, now, I was in a meeting, met a gentleman I was kind of lamenting the performance of my single family portfolio. And he said you should check out multifamily, Chris. I'm like, Well, it's kind of just a different flavor. He's like, no, no, no, he's like, there's some differences. Talk to my friend, who's an operator, he syndicates these deals, I talked to him, I look into the demographics. And as part of the reason I wrote my book, it's chapter seven talks about kind of the rising tide and demographics that support multifamily real estate. And I'm like, “Wow, this guy's speaking my language” because I got into medical device because of the demographics. So I started as an investor, I invested in the space for about three years. And then my original partner and I, we decided we actually had more real estate experience than the group we were investing with. So we came on board with them as partners, we bought our first deal using them kind of as our mentors to buy that deal. That was in 2016. So we're talking about six years ago, that we started out on that journey. And we acquired about one deal a year for the first few years. And then you know, over time, it's like a snowball, you know, it starts off and the momentum, it's slow to pick up. And we started sharing it just with friends and family. And then you start to have people referred to you. And then I started a podcast a few years ago and people started reaching out to learn more about what we did. And then really what happened was it blew up. And Sam, when I left the corporate world, people were really curious how I was able to do that, because I was making really healthy six-figure income, I ran a couple of different successful territories over the course of my career. So got people's attention. And then, you know, building the team around us to support, you know, the property acquisitions, and that is really the confluence that are all coming together. Sam Wilson 07:18 Yeah, I love that. I mean, but now you guys are in self-storage. You're in mobile home parks. And I think we share this in common even investing in something a little more non-traditional in Bitcoin. How are you scaling those different asset classes? Yeah, you mean call Bitcoin an asset class? I don't know. Chris Larsen 07:34 Sure. Let's focus on the real estate. That's kind of where business revolves around. But yeah, so the multifamily, the self-storage, and mobile home parks, they're all commercial real estate, but they're all slightly different. Right? And if you're a business owner, you're an investor. You know, Sam, you, I know you understand this as well. But we have different operational teams for each one of those asset classes. Starting off that first deal. Yeah, my partner, we did a little bit of everything. We both, you know, that with brokers, we talked to investors, we, you know, toured the properties, we looked at the, you know, packages, we were going to, you know, put in quotes and all that stuff. But as we've grown, you know, from 100 units to a couple 100 units to 1,000, a couple 1,000, few 1,000 units. Now we have teams that operate the multifamily side teams that operate the self-storage, we're talking about both acquisitions and operations, as well as the mobile home side. So I think it's really important as you grow and scale that you decide not only what you're good at, but also what you enjoy and you start to find people and find what they are good at and what they enjoy doing and that makes them ultimately the best at what they do. Sam Wilson 08:41 Yeah, it's interesting, because you guys really kicked it off more on the active side. And then it sounds like you said, “Hey, look, as opposed to scaling out these different asset classes and building a team around it, let's just partner with teams that are already there.” How are you guys doing that? Are you coming in as a fund to funds you did? You'd start your own fund that people can invest in your fund. What's that look Chris Larsen 08:59 like? Yeah, actually, we are GPs on the deals we just have, like within our team, we brought in a team for self-storage acquisition, as well as self-storage management, the multifamily side, which was our primary business, we built and scaled that up the mobile home parks, again, a different team that we work with there. You know, one part of the team focuses on the acquisitions, one focuses on the management side of things. Yeah, so we're not doing a fund to funds. I've been working as a general partner on each of these asset classes, which is probably why there's, you know, we scaled slowly, but you know, it's gotten to a few different asset classes now. Sam Wilson 09:33 I love that let's talk a little bit about some of the demographic shifts in the moving trends that you guys are seeing, I mean, because these asset classes take you to a variety of places really around the country, I would imagine, for various reasons, depending on the asset class. So tell me some research you've done on that front and what have you found? Chris Larsen 09:50 Yeah, so again, like I mentioned, chapter seven of my book, I talk about, you know, the importance of demographics, the importance of job growth, population growth, income growth in an area, so if you want to dive into kind of the methodology behind that, you can read through that. But I just did a podcast this morning a solo cast, and I referenced the United Van Lines annual moving survey of 2021. So this came out in early January, and it talks about where people are moving. So this is really simple, whether you're starting off in your career and trying to find a nice geographical area to move, whether you're looking for a personal investment for yourself, that you're actually going to own and operate, or whether you're looking to be an investor. I think this is really interesting. It's very simple. The United Van Lines tracks this, they take all this information, and they say how many people are moving to states? And what percentage are moving in and out of those states? Now, we're going to kind of paint this with a broad brush because you can check out that podcast and that blog on my website and dive deeper. But the bottom line is people are moving away from the northeast, they're moving away from California. And what are those places have in common? Illinois, for instance, as well, kind of the Midwest, they have high taxes, they have, you know, some of these places don't have great weather like California, you know, they have great weather, but they also have kind of this lower quality of life because of certain things like California had a lot of restrictions over the past couple years that really decrease the quality of life, can't go to the beach outside in California during COVID. Right? So who cares if you live at the beach, if you can't go to the beach, right? So a lot of people said, “Wait a minute, what's going on here?” People that are retiring, they're moving away from those areas as well, because they don't want to pay high taxes in their retirement, they have more flexibility. The number one reason people are moving as jobs. Number two is family. And number three is lifestyle. So where are they moving? They're moving to the southeast in huge numbers. We're talking about the Carolinas, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, which I'm sure you know, you pick a great state to be in, if you're an investor, they're also moving to places like Oregon, Utah. And again, you can probably discern, if people are moving out of California, they're probably more likely to move closer in one of those states. You know, if they're moving out of the Northeast, they're probably more likely to move to a place like the southeast. So you have this joke about people moving from New York to Florida or from Florida back to North Carolina to actually call them halfbacks. There's like a name for people. So many people do it. Yeah. So then, you know, see, look at those states. You look at the reasons why and then you can actually drill down even further to look at the cities within those states of where people are moving. And you know, no surprise, a lot of these cities are in the news like Raleigh, where you know, Apple is taking jobs. Greenville, South Carolina where a lot of car companies are moving Charleston, South Carolina, Charlotte, North Carolina, Fort Myers, Florida, Naples, Florida, Orlando, Florida, Miami, Florida. And then there's same thing in states like Texas, I could go on and on. But that is kind of the high-level overview of how you determine the best places in this country to invest going forward. Sam Wilson 12:43 Yeah, maybe this is too much for this podcast. But even with that data, like okay, so we looked at United Van Lines, record or report and I know I think U-Haul puts out a similar report, but it's like you look at these reports. “Hey, oh, that's cool. Everybody's moving to Tennessee or North Carolina.” What do I do with that as an investor? Chris Larsen 13:00 That's right. Yeah. So again, this is kind of your top-line information, right? So you say, “Okay, let's figure out kind of a region,” then you say, okay, where within that region do I want to invest? So let's say you decided on, let's say you decided on North Carolina, just because I live here? And then you say, Okay, you look in North Carolina, you say what state you can go to the state level and say, where is that going to be? Then you look at Raleigh. So then you start to say, okay, where around Raleigh, what I want to invest. So if you're actually buying property yourself, I talked about, you know, I've written articles about this, too, you can go to the city level, and you can look at the city's 5, 10, 20-year plans, and you can determine the next hot area of the city to invest in, alright, because the city is going to tell you where they're going to put their money for infrastructure. Now, if you're a limited partner, and you're looking for operators, which that you can invest with, you want the operators to think the same way you want to say, okay, you know, Sam, why do you own and operate in this area? They should have good analytical reasons why they do that. If they're like, “Well, I've always lived here.” Maybe they're lucky they got they live in an area that's been doing really well. But you know, people are like, “Oh, Chris, do you invest in North County because you live there?” No, actually, I moved to North Carolina because I wanted to invest here. So I've talked about that a lot in my articles in my book, and I wanted to live somewhere where people were moving, because hey, if you're in sales, it's a lot easier to make money if you have more customers moving to an area, right? So invest in areas with that what I call a rising tide, invest with operators that think the same way and you don't have to know all the answers but know the questions to ask, Hey, you know, why are you investing in this space in the sector? Why are you investing in this region? Why are you investing in the city? Why are you investing in this neighborhood? And a good operator should be able to go through and answer all of those questions because I think the last thing, not the first thing you should look at the last thing you should look at are the numbers in a deal because I can tweak my spreadsheet all I want and make those numbers look really pretty but if you don't have good fundamentals behind the reasons for those numbers, then those numbers are useless. Sam Wilson 15:03 Yeah, that's a fantastic point. I'm glad you brought it up because I'm gonna be my next question for you is why are numbers the last thing you should look at. So if you are a limited partner or you are a passive investor, what should you look at first? Chris Larsen 15:15 Yeah, the first thing after you've decided you said, hey, I want to invest in real estate, I want to invest in multifamily. Okay, the first thing you should do is find a good operator. Because really what you can't like an operator can't control population growth, he can't control job growth, they can't control cap rates, they can't control any of those variables, the only thing that an operator can control is their strategy, as well as the price that they pay for an asset that's going in. So they have a good repeatable strategy that with a great track record that they can reference, okay, great. If something like a hurricane comes through, or you know, cap rates expand or compress, I was invested in a property in Houston, the oil market went down the economy tanked in Houston during that period, that wasn't the operator's fault, right. But you know, there were things that the operator could have done differently to have that asset improve. It wasn't their fault, the hurricane hit, right. But you know, so there's variables outside of your control. So what you want to do is you want to focus on the things that you can control as an investor and the things that you can control as an investor is choosing the right operating team to work with. Sam Wilson 16:23 Right, yeah, 100%, the operators first, the market, of course, like you've already talked about, I think would be second. And then the deal, third. Once you have solidified the deal, you can't change it. But the first two variables you can fit long before you put your money in the deal. So as an investor, those are the two things. I'm glad you took time to kind of break down the why on that, that you really should be spending your time focusing on I love that, Chris, thanks for taking the time to jump on today. This has been a blast, learned about your business, what you guys are doing it and really how you've scaled so quickly into a variety of asset classes. That's an absolute blast. Thanks for that. Let's jump here. We'll jump into the final two questions. If you don't mind. The last two questions are this one: What is one thing you're doing right now to make the world a better place? Chris Larsen 17:05 Yeah. So we started last year, a financial literacy program for a group called Open Doors of Asheville, which is a local nonprofit here. And I think, you know, financial literacy is something that we could all do a better job of when it comes to society. If you're a parent, you're listening today, I got a great little resource. It's five steps on how to teach your children to be successful with money. And that's in nextlevelincome.com/kids. I walked through the five things that we're doing with our own children. And you can start doing that at a very young age, just a few years old, all the way up to becoming teenagers, and ultimately helping them decide what to do for college. Sam Wilson 17:43 And then last question, which is great. I love that the open doors of Asheville and financial literacy because that is, yeah, it's so sad that we have kids graduating high school that can't balance a checkbook and yet they were forced to take calculus and it's like, this is the very basics. This is the basics. So good job doing that. I love that. Last question for you this Chris is if our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about you what is the best way to do that? Chris Larsen 18:04 Yeah, real easy: NextLevelIncome.com. You can check out all of our resources, ton of free stuff there or book or podcast or blog, the kids the five steps to help kids become successful with money, as well as kind of their videos and you know, people that are professionals like yourself, Sam, sharing their habits, their traits, their strategies, and everything that they've learned, and most importantly, the mistakes that you don't have to make so you can shortcut your path to financial success. Sam Wilson 18:31 Chris, thank you so much. Have a great day. Chris Larsen 18:33 It's been a blast. Thanks, Sam. Sam Wilson 18:34 Hey, thanks for listening to the How to Scale Commercial Real Estate Podcast.

For the first half hour, Dan continues the topic on the SCOTUS blocking the Biden Admin's Covid mandate for large private companies. Then the second half of the hour he dives into his second topic:According to data acquired by WalletHub, Massachusetts is ranked the best state to raise a family in 2022. Despite the ranking, Massachusetts was found to be the top 7th outbound state, according to United Van Lines 2021 Annual National Movers Study. If Massachusetts is such a great state to live in and raise a family, why are so many residents leaving? What's your vote for the best state to live in?
Americans are moving out of the Big Blue corrupted tyranny run states into greener pastures of the great decoupling. United Van Lines released the company's 45th Annual National Movers Study today, which indicates Americans were on the move to lower-density areas and to be closer to their families throughout last year. The annual study, which tracks the company's exclusive data for customers' state-to-state migration patterns, determined Vermont as the state with the highest percentage of inbound migration (74%) with United Van Lines. https://www.unitedvanlines.com/newsroom/movers-study-2020

Where and Why Did Americans Move in 2021? United Van Lines 45th Annual National Movers Study Reveals the Top States People Moved To and From The Pandemic Continued to Influence Americans' Decisions to Move as They Relocated to Lower-Density Areas and Desired to be Closer to Family Where and Why Did Americans Move in 2021: Top 10 Moved To/From USA States ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- United Van Lines released the company's 45th Annual National Movers Study today, which indicates Americans were on the move to lower-density areas and to be closer to their families throughout last year. The annual study, which tracks the company's exclusive data for customers' state-to-state migration patterns, determined Vermont as the state with the highest percentage of inbound migration (74%) with United Van Lines. Topping the list of outbound locations was New Jersey (71%), which has held the spot for the past four years. South Dakota (69%), South Carolina (63%), West Virginia (63%) and Florida (62%) were also revealed as the top inbound states for 2021. Meanwhile, states like Illinois (67%), New York (63%), Connecticut (60%) and California (59%), which have regularly appeared on the top outbound list in recent years, again ranked among states with the largest exoduses. In addition to the state-by-state data, each year United Van Lines also conducts an accompanying survey to examine the motivations and influences for Americans' interstate moves. This year's survey results indicated 31.8% of Americans who moved did so in order to be closer to family – a new trend coming out of the pandemic as priorities and lifestyle choices shift. Additionally, 32.5% of Americans moved for a new job or job transfer, a significant decrease from 2015, when more than 60% of Americans cited a job or transfer. "This new data from United Van Lines is indicative of COVID-19's impact on domestic migration patterns, with 2021 bringing an acceleration of moves to smaller, midsized towns and cities," Michael A. Stoll, economist and professor in the Department of Public Policy at the University of California, Los Angeles, said. "We're seeing this not only occur because of Americans' desire to leave high density areas due to risk of infection, but also due to the transformation of how we're able to work, with more flexibility to work remote." What's more, amid the pandemic, many Gen Xers are retiring (often at a younger age than past generations), joining the Baby Boomer generation. While many are retiring to states like Florida, United Van Lines' data reveals they're not necessarily heading to heavily populated cities like Orlando and Miami — they're venturing to less dense places like Punta Gorda (81% inbound), Sarasota (79% inbound) and Fort Myers-Cape Coral (77% inbound). Similarly, in Oregon, cities including Medford-Ashland (83%) and Eugene-Springfield (79%) saw high inbound migration in 2021. "For 45 years now, our annual United Van Lines study, with its data-driven insights, has allowed us to explore a deeper understanding of Americans' overall migration patterns," Eily Cummings, director of corporate communications at United Van Lines, said. "As the pandemic continues to impact our day-to-day, we're seeing that lifestyle changes — including the increased ability to work from home — and wanting to be closer to family are key factors in why Americans are moving today." Moving In The top inbound states of 2021 were: 1. Vermont 2. South Dakota 3. South Carolina 4. West Virginia 5. Florida 6. Alabama 7. Tennessee 8. Oregon 9. Idaho 10 Rhode Island Of the top ten inbound states, six — Vermont, South Dakota, West Virginia, Alabama, Oregon and Idaho — are among the 20 least densely populated states in America, with less than 100 people per square mile. And, Tennessee and South Carolina are among the top 25. Moving Out The top outbound states for 2021 were: 1. New Jersey 2. Illinois 3. New York 4. Connecticut 5. California 6. Michigan 7. Massachusetts 8. Louisiana 9. Ohio 10. Nebraska Nine of the top 10 outbound states are considered densely populated, further illustrating America's shift to less crowded states. Balanced Several states saw nearly the same number of residents moving inbound as outbound. Kentucky and Wyoming are among these "balanced states." Since 1977, United Van Lines annually tracks migration patterns on a state-by-state basis. The 2021 study is based on household moves handled by United within the 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C. and ranks states based off the inbound and outbound percentages of total moves in each state. United classifies states as "high inbound" if 55 percent or more of the moves are going into a state, "high outbound" if 55 percent or more moves were coming out of a state or "balanced" if the difference between inbound and outbound is negligible.

Guys, the podcast is half of a year old. We've recorded over 25 episodes…like, how did this happen so quickly? With that in mind and a recent email I received, I thought it was a good time to revisit our purpose here at the Small-Minded Podcast and Molly Knuth Media, and what we believe about life in small towns. Our Manifesto You hear this message at the beginning of every episode: At Small-Minded, we are flipping the script on what it means to be small-minded because we believe that being small is a good thing. Small steps lead to big impact. Small towns have a big heart. And small businesses play a big role in our modern way of life. Here at small-minded, we share stories and strategies to help small towns and small businesses flourish. Here's to a life well-lived being small-minded. It's easy to say, but it's harder to live and embody. But that's why we repeat it. That's why we focus on it. That's why we have guests who can speak to this same mentality. Being small-minded (in our sense of the phrase) is a good thing, because it reminds us why we choose to do life in these small communities. For many of us it's where the farm is. Where we grew up, or where we want to raise our kids. For others it's a way to have a direct impact on the community or to have lots of volunteer and outreach opportunities. For others it's safety and a slower pace of life. While we know that (and though I don't believe media is the enemy), I do believe that small and rural are often portrayed in modern culture as “backwards” or primitive. Our towns are shown as places people land or get stuck. Full of stories of missed opportunities, rather than stories of folks who thoughtfully chose this place and this way of life. But for all these portrayals, small towns are these stereotypes. People DO thoughtfully choose these rural, less-populated areas, and the data shows that. In a recent study conducted by the moving company United Van Lines, states with the highest number of inbound residents are those that were largely rural: Idaho, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Arkansas, among others. On the contrary, states with the highest number of outbound residents include New Jersey, New York, Illinois, Connecticut, and California, signaling a movement toward a more rural, less populated way of life for thousands of Americans. So what does all this mean for you, reader, and for those of us here at the Small-Minded Podcast. We need to live in a small-minded way that puts our small towns first. Thinking big for how to improve rural areas and provide that neighborly piece of Americana we crave. We want to admit our shortcomings and find ways to be welcoming and inclusive and modern, while also honoring the reasons that people love to live small. That's what we do here. Bonus: Recent Listener Email In a recent email, a listener asked me my thoughts on starting something new in her small town. After over a decade of working in her current business, she feels called to change direction and try something different. The possibility excites her, but in a small town she also has the very real fear of people talking about her decision and questions whether she'll have support. So in today's episode of the podcast, I talk through making big choices and changes in a small town with the hope that my experiences can give you some guidance and encouragement. Takeaways In short: do the damn thing. If it's on your heart and you can't quit thinking about it, there's a reason. You can dive right in, or you can make slow, steady progress. But even slow progress IS PROGRESS, right? You've got this, and if you've got big dreams while thinking small, you will be a blessing to your community for sure.

The events of this past week were unprecedented in American history. On this week's podcast, Paul and Wally share their perspectives on the riot at the US Capitol and Trump’s legacy more broadly. Then, Wally and Paul address the political repercussions of this event which will be extremely problematic for conservatives nationwide, let alone here in New Mexico. One of the earliest developments involves a clampdown on conservatives on social media. Before last week went completely off the rails Paul and Wally made some predictions regarding the results of the Georgia Senate Races. They discuss the results of those predictions. RGF had an op-ed in the ABQ Journal over the weekend. Despite all the doom and gloom predictions about the Trump presidency (not to mention a growing population and economy) US CO2 emissions haven't been this low since the early 1980s. United Van Lines' annual report detailing which states people moved to and from during 2020 is out. What does it mean for New Mexico?
Cashflow may be the number one most important thing in any business, but company culture comes in a close second. It is what https://www.linkedin.com/in/stuart-smith-4439294/ (Stuart Smith) strives to build everyday as the CEO of https://buehlercompanies.com/ (Buehler Companies), a top-rated moving company that does everything from commercial moving to Girl Scout cookie distribution. Leading with humility and a strong commitment to company culture, Stuart definitely deserves a place at the Titan 100. Listen in as he shares his take on company culture and humility-driven leadership in this conversation with Bob Roark and co-host, Jaime Zawmon, the President of TITAN CEO. --- Watch the episode here:[embed]https://youtu.be/SzrZgiPL9f8[/embed] Culture That Moves With Stuart Smith Of Buehler Companies And Co-host Jaime Zawmon, President Of TITAN CEOWe have Jaime Zawmon, the Founder and President of https://www.titanceo.com/ (Titan CEO). Our guest is Stuart Smith, the CEO of https://buehlercompanies.com/ (Buehler Companies). Welcome, Jaime and Stuart. Thank you. We're going to jump straight into it. Stuart, if you would tell us about your business and who you serve. The name of my company is Buehler Moving and Storage and we're an agent for http://www.mayflower.com/ (Mayflower Van Lines). We also have https://www.alliancerelocation.com/ (Alliance Relocation), which is an agent for http://www.unitedvanlines.com/ (United Van Lines). A couple of years ago, we bought https://www.thestudentmovers.com/ (Student Movers) and that's our local moving company. We bought that because people had the perception that we were the big trucks. They skipped over for small little moves, and in essence, we do all those, but we bought Student Movers to give people the perception that that's what they wanted was something for a smaller move. That’s been a great acquisition. We do local household goods, interstate, international, and we do have about 500,000 square feet of storage space between all four locations. We do a tremendous amount of office moving, and commercial business has turned into about 60% of our revenue now. We do hotel renovations and we also have gotten into battery work, where we go to different cell sites from El Paso all the way to South Dakota and we replaced cell site batteries from A to Z. We climb to the top of the mountains and we go to the desert. It's crazy some of the places we've been to change cell site batteries. We do Girl Scout cookies. We're the largest distributor of the United States for Girl Scout cookies. That's a cool little thing. In fact, they're coming into our warehouse and we'll end up getting about 72 truckloads of cookies by 270,000 cases. It's a lot of cookies and we deliver those out. We do design work. Designers will ship all kinds of furniture in and we'll deliver them out to homes and resort places. We'll set up everything from A to Z with the houses. We do work for a big home builder that we go around and set up all their model homes. We've tried to be diverse. Probably my favorite thing we do is the office moving because it’s a great piece of business and you can do a lot of different things quickly. I love the Girl Scout cookies. That’s exciting. It's fun. I'm excited to have you here, Stuart, as a 2020 Titan 100. It's no surprise that you have made this list. For those of you that are reading, Stuart was recognized as one of Colorado's Top 100 CEOs & C-Level Executives, the book that features 100 titans of industry. As we kick off this podcast, one of the things I always like to ask every Titan that we interview in this series is, what characteristics do they believe it takes to be considered a Titan of the industry? There are a lot of different characteristics that it takes to be a titan and one of them is you have to have culture in your company. The number one most important thing in running a business is cashflow but number two is culture. If you don't have a great

On this week's podcast, Paul and Wally discuss some new population data which the Census Bureau put out outlining state population shifts over the past decade. Unlike its neighbors which mostly saw double-digit growth, New Mexico's population barely budged during the last decade. Also, the annual United Van Lines moving study includes some rare GOOD news for New Mexico in terms of population growth as it made the moving company's list of Top 10 inbound states during 2019. Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association will shut down its 253 megawatt coal-fired generating station near Grants by the end of 2020 in an effort to comply with the Energy Transition Act. This is going to impact the Grants area, but also the customers of New Mexico's rural co-ops. Paul and Wally discuss. Finally, a new report from the federal Housing and Urban Development department addresses the uptick in homelessness in Albuquerque which saw the highest uptick in the nation.
New Jersey saw the largest outbound moves out of any state, according to the data, with nearly 67 percent of movers leaving. Nearly 35 percent of movers left for retirement-related reasons. When it comes to the break down by income levels, those with incomes between $50,000 and $74,999; $100,000 and $149,999; and $150,000 or more, made up the highest proportion of move-outs. New Jersey ranked ninth on WalletHub’s list of state-by-state tax burdens, where the total tax burden is an estimated 9.86 percent of income. Connecticut Of the moves conducted within Connecticut last year, 62 percent were outbound, ranking it third on the United Van Lines study (behind Illinois, which is also considering implementing a number of new taxes). About 30 percent of move-outs were decided upon for retirement reasons, while more than 20 percent were attributed to lifestyle decisions. Those with incomes of $100,000 or higher made up the largest share of exoduses. In terms of total state tax burden, Connecticut ranked right behind New Jersey on WalletHub’s list, with the average individual paying 9.7 percent of income toward state and local taxes. Customs and Border Protection uses technology to scan faces, probe vehicles and keep a watchful eye on the border from the skies above. The agency—with help from Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate—also is looking to send robots into underground tunnels and other places where its sensors can’t communicate. The Science and Technology Directorate released a request for information Monday to get a sense of the market for robotic communications technology. Specifically, the agency is looking for off-the-shelf tech that can capture and transmit data—including photos and video—and map hard to reach places. Rose met Evangeline Simpson in the winter of 1889-1890, less than a year after her brother left office for the first time. (Cleveland is the only two-term president not to have served his terms consecutively.) They probably met in Florida, where both spent the season making the rounds among the nation’s wealthier families. Rose was 43 and never married. Evangeline was probably 33 and had inherited a fortune from a late husband nearly five decades her senior. The love letters begin in April 1890, once the two returned to their respective homes. (Evangeline lived in Massachusetts.)
(JANUARY 2, 2019) Many people like Oregon. Sometimes they visit. Sometimes they move here to live. United Van Lines is a moving company. It helps people to move to new homes. It looked at its work in 2018. It learned interesting things. More people (55%) moved west. They went to places with mountains. This was Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona. The most popular state was Vermont. Oregon was the second most popular place to move. Many people came to Oregon. Few people left Oregon. New Jersey, Illinois, Connecticut, New York, and Kansas had the highest number of people leaving. https://sites.google.com/pcc.edu/esolnewsoregon/2019-01/2019-01-02-moving-to-oregon Read by Eric Dodson.

Looking to sell your Home? Get a FREE home value reportLooking to buy a Home? Search all homes for saleWhere are people moving? Which cities are they leaving? What locations are popular these days?A great way to get answers to these questions is to look to U-Haul. Their pricing model gives us the statistics on where people are going. For instance, it’s more expensive to rent a truck in cities that have a low inventory of trucks. In cities with more trucks, they are less expensive to rent.In Los Angeles, it costs 63% more to rent a U-Haul truck because there aren’t many trucks available. The reason for that low inventory? People aren’t dropping off trucks in that area—they’re leaving and then dropping them off at their destination.Cities with a higher inventory tend to have more people moving there. For example, in the Northwest, it is less expensive to rent trucks in cities like Seattle and Portland because people are moving there and dropping off trucks. We see the same trend happening in the Southwest in cities like Phoenix, Austin, and Dallas.“Cities with a higher inventory of trucks have more people moving there. ”As far as the Temecula Valley area goes, the stats aren’t quite as dismal. We have approximately a 1.6% migration rate, which means we don’t have as many people moving out of our area as other areas, such as Los Angeles. I think the more populated areas across the U.S. are losing residents due to diminishing employment opportunities. According to Newsweek, many business firms have left California for places like Mexico, Nevada, Texas, and Arizona.Last year, United Van Lines ranked California in its high outbound category, which means 55% or more of all the firm California shipments were outbound rather than inbound. What does this mean for our housing market? So far, the Temecula valley has maintained its values, although sales have slowed a bit due to the election year.If you have any questions about our current market or about real estate in general, give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
