This week, Chloe researched the 16th Century Irish pirate queen, Grace O'Malley! Grace was infamous in Ireland and England alike. Her enemies feared her. Her followers respected her. And for over 40 years, she raided and pillaged English settlements in protest of the creeping Imperialism in her home country. A day after the birth of her son, she got out of bed to quell an attempt by corsairs to take over her ship.Check out the full episode to hear these stories and more, including a final confrontation with Queen Elizabeth that literally went down in the history books. — A Broad is a woman who lives by her own rules.

A Broad is a woman who lives by her own rules. Broads You Should Know is the podcast about the Broads who helped shape our world! "Broadly Speaking" is a BONUS episode of Broads You Should Know where the hosts (Sam, Sara, & Chloe) answer fan mail, talk about their lives, and discuss Broad-related content they've been consuming lately. This week, we're reviewing Disney's Mulan, released last week on Disney+ for $30 (+ subscription costs). Since we did an episode about the REAL Mulan back in March to coincide with the film's original release date (back in those pre-COVID days), we figured we should watch the movie and give our thoughts, including how good a job they did at adhering to the truth vs the original cartoon.If you'd like to check our sources or find additional informational resources head to our website, www.BroadsYouShouldKnow.com! — A Broad is a woman who lives by her own rules.

I’m your host, Keith Weinhold. There are seasons in your investor life where you either play offense or defense. What should you be doing now? … as we refresh the “Up To 5 Ways That Real Estate Simultaneously Pays You.” Anything less than a 20 to 25% rate of return in buy-and-hold real estate investing is disappointing. How can that be? Today, on Get Rich Education. ______________________ Welcome to GRE! From Asmara, (Air-UH-tree-UH) Eritrea to Ashtabula, OH and across 188 nations worldwide. I’m Keith Weinhold. This is Get Rich Education. Thanks for being here, but you’re not here for me. You’re here for you. In your investor life, are you playing offense? Or are you playing defense right now? Or, in general, longer-term, are you a more offensively-oriented investor, which correlates with more risk-taking for higher returns. Or are you more defensively-minded - where you’d rather have less risk and lower return? Are your mindset and actions aligned toward offense or defense? Well, I’ve got an answer for you here, and you’re going to have a really valuable takeaway. Anything less than a 20 to 25% annual rate of return in real estate is really … actually … disappointing. “What choo talkin’ ‘about, Willis?” What I’m talking about … Will - is ... Really, this all comes back to how - when you buy income property the right way - you are paid up to five ways simultaneously. A stock typically only pays you one way, perhaps two. I think that the easiest way for you to understand the five ways you’re paid - and even celebrate these five ways you’re paid - because … this ... is ... pretty compelling - is to use an example. I’ve discussed this before. So if you’re a longtime listener, I’m going to put “The 5 Ways” through a new filter for you. And if you’re a newer listener, say in the last year, this could completely change your investing thought paradigm for the rest of your entire life. In fact, compound interest is lame and rarely, if ever builds real wealth in real life. I’ll tell ya what does here. And yes, I know that this is abject heresy. It is replete blasphemy to criticize “compound interest” in the finance world. I am surely guilty of committing financial profanity right there. This is really fundamental stuff I’m about to share with you here - and yet the real paradox is that most real estate investors don’t even understand this. This is pretty fun to do. We’re going to add up the five ways you’re paid and determine your total rate of return here. Let’s say that you purchase a $100,000 property - $100K. And, no worries, if that’s too “small time for you”, this is all based on ratios, so it scales up to a $1M or $10M property. (Ha!) And sometimes I wonder how much longer a $100K property will even be a feasible example as inflation makes $100K properties less common all the time. But with your newly-bought $100K rental single-family home, you buy it with a tenant already residing there, where the monthly rent income exceeds the monthly expenses - that’s a big part of “buying right”. With your 20% down payment, you have $20K out of pocket then, and an $80K loan. The first of five ways you’re often paid is ... 1 - Appreciation Let’s just say that your property appreciates from $100,000 to $106,000. That is just commensurate with real estate’s historic appreciation rate of 6%. But here’s the big “a-ha” moment. Your $6,000 gain is based on only your $20,000 down payment. Well, that’s your ROI formula - your gain divided by how much you have invested. Well, your $6K divided by $20K is a 30% return to you. Really? How did that happen exactly? How do you have a 30% return from just this first of five ways you’re paid? This is because you achieved a 6% return on both your $20K of skin-in-the-game and the $80K borrowed from the bank. This is what is known as financial leverage. Financial leverage means that your return is 30%. No wonder that I’m known for saying that compound interest is lame and leverage builds real wealth. More on that soon. 2 - The second way you’re simultaneously paid is with Cash Flow It’s your monthly rent income minus all the expenses (like mortgage, vacancy, insurance, maintenance, taxes, utilities, management). We’ll be conservative and say that leaves you with only $100 of residual income in this case. Annually, that’s $1,200 more for you, divided by your $20,000 down payment. Yes, it’s $1,200 still divided by that same $20K of skin you have in the game. This another 6% return for you. This portion is what is known as the Cash-On-Cash Return. So, so far you’ve got a 30% return from leveraged appreciation PLUS a 6% cash-on-cash return from that monthly cash flow & we’re still going. 3 - Loan Paydown Unlike your own home where you pay down your principal mortgage balance with money that you had to earn, well, here, your tenant pays the monthly principal portion of your $80,000 loan on this property! At a 6% interest rate (and you know you can do better than that today, but we’re being conservative here) on a 30-year mortgage, that’s about $1,000 that the tenant pays down your loan for you annually. Divided by your (still the same) $20K of “skin-in-the-game” means that’s ANOTHER return for you of: 5%. This portion is known as your ROA - your return on amortization. We are still going - still adding up all the ways you're often paid in real estate. 4 - Tax Benefit You can have a mortgage interest deduction, an ability to pay zero capital gains tax with a 1031 Exchange, and tax depreciation - which can tax-shelter part of your rent income. This is hard to measure. We’ll conservatively call your investment tailwind another 5%. There’s something else called “bonus depreciation” that can certainly make this 5% tax tailwind higher, but let’s just leave it there. And the fifth and final way is what I call Inflation-Profiting. Few people understand this. Like inflation erodes the value of your lump of savings, it also degrades your mortgage debt balance. How is that? It’s because your $80,000 loan today gets easier to “pay back” as wages and prices escalate over time. Your bank only asks to be repaid in nominal dollars (while your tenant pays the interest), not real, inflation-adjusted dollars. So just say that over a few years, you had 10% cumulative inflation. Well, then rather than paying back the bank $80K, you really only need to pay them back $72K in inflation-adjusted terms. Inflation has been low lately. We’ll call this benefit a return of another … just 2% to you. Well, there were all five ways. Let’s add them up to see what your total rate of return is. You got a return of: 30% from leveraged appreciation, then… 6% from cash flow - which is that portion known as your cash-on-cash return, plus another 5% from your ROA - that Return On Amortization, where you tenant pays down your loan for you. Then another … 5% from tax benefits … 2% from inflation-profiting ... And your first year total Return On Investment from this income property is 48% You just achieved a 48% return - and without taking any INORDINATE risk. Now, your real-life return probably won’t be exactly that - it’ll be higher or lower. A few other caveats here. I think you probably realize this example is simplified. If we had 18 spreadsheets, then we could probably get an exact number, like rather than a 48% total rate of return for you - then it might be 46.16% or something like that. … … but eighteen spreadsheets doesn’t work in audio format as we’ve just broken it down here on Get Rich Education Episode 302. 1) Note that in the example, we did not factor in your buyer mortgage loan closing costs (the seller can often help you pay these). Of course, risk still exists. If you buy property in a losing job market, or hire a disreputable property manager, for example, your return can erode. 3) You will still have SOME inevitable problems along the way. It just happens in real estate. Also, note that your property insurance premium WAS considered in the example. That hedges you from a lot of major loss types. And that your management cost was considered here, meaning your income is largely passive. Also, be mindful that after your 48% return in Year One of this hypothetical example, your return typically DROPS in future years. Maybe it’s down to 38% in the second year and 29% in the third year. Why is this? Well, primarily due to the fact that equity accumulates in the property, and equity has zero rate of return. Compound interest? Well, you’re typically not leveraging other people’s money with compound interest. In the example we used - you’re not just growing from the return on your own money. You achieved that return because you got to use BOTH your own money plus three other parties’ money at the same time: the bank’s for the leverage the tenants for the income and the return on amortization … and … the govt’s for the tax incentives - plus, really the government’s policies for the inflation-profiting benefit too … if ya think about it. With just a 20% down payment, you got access to getting the return on OTHER people’s money all over the place. Another risk is to be mindful of overleveraging. Overleveraging means that you’ve borrowed so aggressively that, say you get in a situation where the tenants rent income no longer meets or exceeds the monthly property expenses. That’s negative cash flow from overleveraging. With these five ways ... Now you understand how real estate makes ordinary people wealthy! Now you know how to actually “keep score” with real estate investing. Now you understand how less than a 20-25% Total Rate Of Return is disappointing. This is LEVERAGE rather than compound interest. Long-term, one’s hopes for compound interest get eroded and worn down to nothing after applying - something that longtime listeners can almost repeat after me - applying those deleterious effects of inflation and emotion and taxes and fees and volatility. If you understand what I just described, you understand something that Billionaire RE investors do NOT understand. Billionaire real estate investors don’t understand what you now know. So, when it comes down to, are you playing offense or defense as the theme for your own investing strategy? The answer is, when you’re paid five ways, you have the ability to constantly do BOTH - you’re playing both offense and defense - at the same time, all the time. By the way, they say that offense wins games but defense wins championships. It was legendary Alabama football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant that’s credited with saying some version of that. I don’t know whether that’s so true or not, but here you have multiple offenses and defenses. But what I’m talking about here, is, with the 5 ways you’re paid: Appreciation - That’s playing offense Cash Flow - That’s more predictable than appreciation, and that’s playing offense too Return On Amortization - That’s defense. It’s slow, predictable, and it builds illiquid equity The fourth way, taxes - that’s defense too. It’s kind of built-in, predictable, and really just recurs when you do your annual taxes. And the fifth way, inflation-profiting - That’s defense too. So, there you go, with one single-family rental home or apartment building, you’ve played offense two ways and defense three ways … all at the same time. And when you’re paid five ways, if one or two stop providing you with yield, well, then you’ve still got three or four ways that are. But, yeah, these return sources aren’t apparent to a lot of people. You know, I was recently doing a review of one of my larger apartment buildings with an experienced investor, because the cash flow basically dried up. And, for example, this apartment building has $2,100 of tenant-made mortgage principal paydown every month. That’s $25K per year in equity buildup. $25K divided by my $475K in equity is a Return On Amortization of about 5% on this particular apartment building. So I think that the real takeaway here is - invest in something where you’re paid multiple ways, where you can invest in offense & defense at the same time, and it pays you income so that you can begin enjoying your life now, not “maybe someday” - which correlates with more of a compound interest approach. If you think about it, a central theme of this show is how to optimize the 5 Ways You’re Paid - and avoid mistakes. This is really a huge part of the compelling “why” for real estate that is so often missed. You want to own the real property yourself to make sure all five of these benefits aren’t diluted. You also want to be sure to have a good loan on your property to amplify your ROI over the long-term. As you know, I am “pro-good debt”. I have no interest in paying down low interest rate debt, that the tenant pays down for me and inflation even further debases. Instead of using that dollar to pay down debt, you could use that dollar as a down payment on another property - expanding your empire. Gosh, with interest rates this low, it puts an exclamation point on the fact that you don’t want to be paying down your debt … here in the early 2020s decade. Paying down good debt is one of the last things that I would do with my money. You lose leverage every time you do that. Turning a liquid dollar into equity just transferred cash into equity. Financial freedom achieved when you do the opposite - when you transfer equity into cash flow. The probability that I’m going to wake up tomorrow and start accelerating paydown on low-rate, fixed mortgage debt tied to this cash-flowing property - is about nothing. It’s about the same as the chance is that my Dad wakes up tomorrow and starts listening to the Notorious BIG with Junior MAFIA. “I chill … “ to “ … you know”. Haha! Yeah, not happening! Not for my Dad, anyway. Not his style. Sounds alright to me. I might drop that in during a workout or something. You’re listening to a more detailed discussion about the Five Ways That Real Estate Pays You and we’re talking about it through a fresh lens of “offense vs. defensive” investing here on Get Rich Education Episode 302. I strongly believe: It is very difficult to get wealthy without debt. Often won’t achieve freedom without debt. It’s going to be alright ... when your debt is reliably outsourced to others. You know, at one point in my life, when I still worked for an employer. (The last day job I ever had was working in the QA section for a state DOT, by the way). At one point, I realized that every dollar I lock in a stock or 401(k) is a dollar that I can’t use to leverage OPM. That epiphany was a real turning point. Checking the RobinHood app every 15 minutes isn’t going to build real, durable wealth for you. And, sometime before that, it was the realization that for me - and for you - to get more out of life, you can’t live below your means, you’ve got to expand your means. To achieve financial freedom, it sure isn’t going to happen by cancelling Netflix $10 for month. That’s not going to happen if you save $80 on air tickets by adding an extra layover on your trip itinerary. You just added three hours of low-quality time to your life - and you’ll never get that time back. That’s cheesy. That’s unattractive. It’s not about saving money on your Butterball turkeys or car gasoline. I’m not saying you can NEVER do those things. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. But people need to stop being congratulated for being cheap or even focusing on frugality. Gosh, that stuff can make people miserable. People that say, “I want to live frugally.”, they don’t REALLY want to live frugally. They actually want to say, “I want to live well.” But they don’t know how to do that. They don’t have a vehicle to move forward with. It’s kind of like, when we had T. Harv Eker here on the show here a few years ago - it’s about setting your mental thermostat higher, so that you can get greater wealth & freedom for yourself … And with the “five ways you’re paid” like I described earlier, hopefully, I’ve charted a substantially clearer path forward for you so that you can do that. Well, with “The Up To 5 Way That Real Estate Often Pays You”, that’s something that I first started talking about more than five years ago. I’ve never heard anyone else talk about it before. So, as far as I know, I guess I’ve “coined this” or whatever. But since I began talking about it, I hear other people talking about it too - even other educational platforms. Now, I do own three real estate trademarks, so what do I think about OTHERS now teaching the “5 Ways You’re Paid”. I’ll discuss that in just a few minutes here. I’m also going to discuss who influenced ME - and give them some credit. And this includes a couple people that you’ve surely never heard about before. If you would like to see the “5 Ways You’re Paid” in one easy-to-read infographic - that all fits on one sheet - so that it’s REALLY cear to understand - I’ll send you a colorful electronic “5 Ways Infographic” all you’ve got to do is go to GetRichEducation.com/Book. That’s got to be one of the greatest deals anywhere. That’s where you can opt-in to get the electronic version of my int’l bestselling book, free, emailed right to you. Then a few weeks later, the “5 Ways You’re Paid Infographic” is automatically sent to you too. That’s at GetRichEducation.com/Book More next. I’m Keith Weinhold. This is Get Rich Education. ________________________ Welcome back to Get Rich Education. I’m Keith Weinhold. Hope you like our humorous moments to lighten up the show here. Hey, you run a little math on audio and … it begs for some embellishment to spice things up. When it comes to the up to five ways you’re paid in real estate investing. Yeah, since I first discussed this more than five years ago, I’ve noticed that other REI educators now teach the same thing. I don’t know whether they credit that to me or not - and you know what - I don’t really care whether they do or not. I mean, it’s cool if they do, but … … the more important thing to me is that conscientious people get the information. Share it. That is so much more important than anyone getting the credit. So just … share it. “Helping the people” is more important than “getting the credit”. I think that the world would be a better place - imagine if everyone put “helping the people” before “getting the credit”. I don’t own trademarks so that I can go after people that say the same stuff that I do. That’s just not in my nature. I’d rather do productive things with my time. The trademarks are thre just because I wouldn’t want someone else to swoop in and tell me that I can’t use something that I might have come up with in the first place. When it comes to “helping the people” and “getting the credit”, now, everyone has influences - things they learn from others. You & I are no different that way. Even those that influence you were influenced by someone else before them. Well, I DO like to give credit to those that I learned from, so ... Though I know he’s a polarizing figure to some people, credit is due to Robert Kiyosaki and the Rich Dad Company. Learn more about them at RichDad.com The most important lesson that I learned there is “Don’t live below means. Expand your means.” It’s more important to increase your income than cut your expenses. Don’t make a budget. You’re just tearing things down. Instead, build a cash flow statement. Now you’re constructing. Now you’re making more of yourself, not less. These are really Rich Dad principles and helped develop my mindset. Now, as for who helped turn this mindset into something actionable? I’ve got to give props to “The Real Estate Guys” - Robert Helms and Russell Gray. Learn more about them at RealEstateGuysRadio.com That’s the first place that I learned, for example, that in real estate, the market is more important than the property. Look, you can’t very well be in your crib with your trading app and just order up real estate - even though people are building online marketplaces. But one mistake people make is that they buy property because the numbers look good based on some YT video they watched on how to crunch the numbers - but they know nothing about the market or the team. Then they buy it. Then only after they go buy it, NEXT they go looking for a PM and hope there’s a good one that can handle it. Then next, they try to figure out the market that they already bought in. That does not work. They’ve got it backwards. If the market and your property manager check out, then & only then do you get the property in that market. It’s sad when people get that wrong. That’s why people walk away from RE & they say that RE doesn’t work. Well, no, that investor wasn’t very strategic. But you CAN understand how that happens to people. And it was great to have both authors of the “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” book Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter - and The Real Estate Guys all here on Get Rich Education with us multiple times. Another set of influencers are two guys that you’ve never heard of before. Their names are Chris and Raj. They are simply two longtime friends of mine that bought four-plex buildings. That got me to make my first-ever property that seminal four-plex building where, with a 3.5% down payment I lived in one unit, rented out the other three, and that started it all for me. These otherwise “regular guys” reinforce the quote from the late Jim Rohn, “You Are The Average Of The Five People That You Spend The Most Time With”. Today, I’m a collector of real estate - most of it in the United States. Being the geography guy that I am, did you know that I have a world map on the wall of our garage … … and I have a little red sticker - little red dots on top of those areas where I own property. Yeah, it makes this real estate collecting kind of visual. Maybe you want to try that too. Well, one part of the world that I’ve been adding more red dots to lately is where I’ve been buying - across Florida. Areas around Tampa, Orlando, and Jacksonville all make sense from a cash yield perspective. A lot of BRAND NEW construction properties have numbers that work there, especially where our Orlando provider - that’s Greater Central Florida really - have been actively sourcing brand new construction property in Sebring, Florida, among other nearby places. Sebring is pretty much smack dab in the center of peninsular Florida, south of Orlando. These single-family homes that make great rentals have a metal roof, they’re 3 bed, 2 bath, and the prices really are remarkable - $179,900 and $159,900. Yes, that’s for new construction in Sebring, Florida. The rent-to-price ratios are a very attractive eight-tenths of one percent or so. Quite good for new construction, plus you’ve got the tailwind of extremely low interest rates as well. And when it’s new construction, the PROPERTY INSURANCE premiums are so reasonable too. If you’d like to learn more about those, you can do so at GetRichEducation.com/Orlando It isn’t just single-family rental homes. New construction duplexes are available too. That’s GetRichEducation.com/Orlando You know that I often like to leave you with something actionable like this at the end of an episode. And knowing and doing are two very different things. How do we already know that? Well ... Many people aren’t at their ideal body weight … and it isn’t because they don’t know what to do, they just aren’t doing it. You also need time to figure out what you want to do. I like eating pizza, for example, but it took me eating different foods in order to find that out. I had to try and do. Learning is best done by trial-and-error but it doesn’t have to be YOUR trial-and-error. Learn from me. I’ll even eat your pizza for you! I help give you the information you need to make an informed decision. I connect you with property teams with proven track records - many of whom I invest with myself. You ultimately choose your investments. There’s risk with anything … anything in life. You either take the risk or lose the chance. I think it’s helpful too, that you follow someone that’s been through a recession. I’ve been investing for … nearly 18 years … it’ll be 18 years next month … since I bought that landmark four-plex building. Teach you how to fish or GIVE you a fish? Well, why not do both? You can get the fish at GetRichEducation.com/Orlando Have you ever wondered where your money is? Well, the world already has your money. You just need to go out and claim it. I’m Keith Weinhold - grateful, as always for your listenership. I look forward to chatting with you again next week. Don’t Quit Your Daydream!

Biz is joined by guest co-host Rebecca Blum this week to talk about how our children see the future. What do our kids think adulthood will be like? We revisit the games we played as kids that fed our fantasies of life as grown ups. If life turned out like the game MASH, then we would all be married to our childhood crushes and live in mansions. Do we crush are children’s visions of the future or let them dream? “Sure you’ll live with Mama forever. Your partner will LOVE it!" Plus, Biz is trying to lose control and we talk to Chandra Austin about her new children's book, Qiana's Braids.Follow Chanda on Instagram at Qianasbraids.

Biz is joined by author and activist Anastasia Higginbotham to talk about how to discuss deeply uncomfortable topics with our kids. Would you rather try to get your toddler to wear mittens or would you rather talk with your kid about death? Let's be honest, both are difficult things to do, but one may be the real parenting job. Anastasia’s books cover topics like death, sex and whiteness and we cannot recommend them enough.

Biz is joined by Renee Colvert, from Can I Pet Your Dog? We start the show off and end with a reflection on the difficult circumstances we find ourselves in from the continued threat of the pandemic to the centuries long threat of injustice towards people of color. As parent, we are on the front lines to teach our children to understand the issues around racism, privilege, and history. We also talk about boredom. "I'm bored!" is something we are hearing 8 or 9 times a day with all this time stuck at home. Whether it's our kids or our dogs, what does boredom look like and how does it make us feel? The internet has a lot of mixed messages for us on boredom, per usual! Plus, Biz has summer plans and Renee is on the move!Follow Renee on Twitter @ReneeColvert and listen to Can I Pet Your Dog? wherever you download podcasts.Resources for white parents to raise anti-racist children:https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1BRlF2_zhNe86SGgHa6-VlBO-QgirITwCTugSfKie5Fs/mobilebasic Mental Health and Safety Resources:Suicide Prevention Hotline: Call or chat.

Biz is joined by guest co-host Drea Clark, producer, film festival programmer, and podcaster. We discuss how motherhood is portrayed in the movies, from the effortless high-heel wearing mothers of the 50's and 60's, to the outright terrible mothers in horror films, and the surprising representation in action movies. Drea gives us a movie mom watch list that we can get behind. Plus, Biz is slipping, we miss Theresa, and we talk to Chloe Cooney about her article, "The Parents Are Not All Right."Follow Chloe Cooney on Twitter @chloeicooneyFollow Drea Clark on Twitter @TheDreaClark and listen to her podcasts Who Shot Ya? and Ticklish Business wherever you download podcasts.Drea's Movie Mom Recommendation ListJuno (Allison Janey)True Lies (Jaime Lee Curtis)The Long Kiss Goodnight (Geena Davis)Alien (Sigourney Weaver)Terminator: Dark Fate (Linda Hamilton)Suicide Prevention Hotline: Call or chat.

When I say “niche” what’s your first thought? What I hear from my students in my Website Marketing Lab + Web Designer Academy courses are things like: “Thank goodness because I don’t want to be everything to everyone.” “I have too many interests, I don’t want to pick just one thing or one kind of person.” “What if I pick the wrong thing?!” For some people, it’s a relief. Others feel really constricted when they hear that narrowing down your interests and focusing on one thing is the key to growing a successful business. Others never get started because they’re afraid to pick the wrong thing, or making the choice seems overwhelming. But what if instead of blindly doing all the things, or never starting because you were worried you made the wrong choice, you just tried a bunch of different things and were just really open to noticing what’s getting traction and following that path? That’s what today’s guest, Jessica Serna of the niche travel blog MyCurlyAdventures did. MyCurlyAdventures is a travel brand that inspires Texans to "travel the world" in their own state and find magic in their own backyard. Jessica and I talk about: Her journey from starting a general lifestyle blog to monetizing a niche travel blog. How her family reacted when she quit her day job to blog full time. How she lands sponsorship opportunities. Ways Jessica grew her following organically (and what didn’t work). The most important component of a successful blog. A day in the life of a travel blogger (pre-global pandemic). Jessica’s best advice for you if you’re struggling to monetize your blog. The one belief Jessica had to change about herself to get where she is today. Travel Blogging During a Global Pandemic Jessica and I recorded this interview in December 2019, and at the time of production in April of 2020, much of the country is shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I was really curious to know how Jessica, as a travel blogger who can’t travel, has adapted during the pandemic, so I reached out to her to find out. Here’s what she said: “As someone who focuses on travel, the transition has been something new and challenging to face. The best thing I can do is look at it as a challenge to overcome. I'm currently recycling old photos on Instagram as well as incorporating new content around fun at home activities, travel from home activities, and challenges like the #yogawinechallenge that connects people through something fun while supporting local businesses. Since I have extra free time from not traveling/shooting/editing new content, I am focusing on extra educational opportunities like the free courses and conferences that have gone online, creating content on other platforms like TikTok to increase brand awareness, and creating more blog content as I know people are going to be excited to look up activities and travel once this is over.” And if you wanna learn more about using TikTok as a blogger, don’t ask me because I have no clue, but Jessica wrote a great blog post all about “3 Ways You’re Already Sabotaging Yourself on TikTok.” My favorite quotes from Jessica: “When you niche down, you suddenly have a focus.” “It's hard to distinguish yourself from everyone else who also serves everybody.” “Even if things didn't go my way at this point...I'm still happy for everything I've done and I still provide value and I've learned so many incredible skills.” “Providing a solution that's not readily available is going to cause people to talk about you for you.” Resources Mentioned in This Episode Jessica’s blogging tips 3 Ways Your Sabotaging Yourself on TikTok Jessica’s Bio: Jessica is the Blogger of MyCurlyAdventures, a travel brand that inspires Texans to "travel the world" in their own state. Through her approach she has been able to inspire local wanderlust and help people travel more by looking nearby. From visiting the wine country in Fredericksburg, going sand surfing in Monahans, riding in an Italian gondola in Irving, and so much more, Jessica shares how Texans can find magic in their own backyard.

Biz and Theresa are reminded that this isn't actually normal, even if sometimes our brains try to trick us into thinking that it is. Why is this so hard? Oh yeah...this is absolutely not normal! Also, we are not really doing "fine." It is helpful to acknowledge that and to remember that we are all doing a good job during this very not-normal time. Plus, Biz revisits cake parenting, Theresa doesn't want to wait, and we talk with Scotty Iseri of The Imagine Neighborhood podcast.

Biz and Theresa ask a very important question: How are you? No, really...how are you? We dedicate the entire topic to exploring this question that, although never has a simple answer, has become even more complicated. Have we figured out how to homeschool? Is there crying in homeschool? Have we figured out our routines? Is crying part of the routine? Are we tired of questions and ready for complete silence by 3 pm everyday? Yes. Hard yes. Plus, Biz doesn't want to be competitive, Theresa starts a day, and we talk to Iris Gottlieb about her new book, Seeing Gender.

Biz and Theresa ponder how the “stay at home” order really amps up the idea that when things go wrong for our kids, it is “ALL YOUR FAULT!!!” “Why didn’t you tell me there was an art assignment? Even though I saw everything you did, you should have told me!” Can we just reply, “We didn’t tell you because we want to ruin your life?” The extra patience we have to call upon is intense and self blame is creeping around every corner.

Biz and Theresa find ourselves in a familiar place: we need help but feel overwhelmed by ALL the “help.” Social distancing and stay at home orders, closed schools and working from home….yep…everything we ever discussed on the show just got dialed up to eleven.

Biz and Theresa talk about what it is REALLY like when we are home all day with the kids…or better yet…the whole family. Be it a weekend, a sick day, school breaks…summer…it seems like a fun idea in theory but there are a LOT of hours in a day. A lot. Sleep isn’t even safe.

Biz and Theresa discuss our kids’ ability to exploit “Mama’s weaknesses.” "Just one more game?" "You love donuts, can we get donuts?” “Let’s do a movie night!” Sure, it sounds fun, but there are limits that need to be reinforced and bedtimes that need to be kept! We can’t say yes every time…can we? Plus, the lies come easy for Biz, Theresa is full of crisp mountain air, and we talk to Lauren Schneider of Our House Grief Support Center about handling grief as parents.

Biz and Theresa revisit the trash our kids want to keep. Did we say trash? Treasure! We mean treasure. How have our opinions changed about what to keep and what to toss? If we open a box labeled “kindergarten art” five years after tucking it away in storage, do we still want to save it? Really? Plus, Biz gets the guilt job and Theresa finally shows up.

Biz and Theresa get ready for a visit from Aunt Flo. Just like all family visits, some are welcome and some are not. That's right, we're talking about our periods! We reflect on our experiences getting our periods and discuss how we can prepare our children for puberty.

Biz and Theresa play doctor and realize we may not be qualified. As soon as we become parents are we suddenly supposed to be medical practitioners? Is “Stop picking it!” not good enough? Plus, Biz visits the stars, rest may not be the best medicine for Theresa, and we talk with Molly Bloom of the podcasts Brains On! and Smash Boom Best. Follow Molly on Twitter @Mollyb and find out more about Brains On! at Brainson.org. You can listen to Brains On!, Smash Boom Best and the history podcast Forever Ago wherever you download podcasts.

Biz and Theresa try to figure out why we can’t seem to solve our personal challenges the same way we used to, by making a plan and then sticking to it. Surprise! Turns out there are a LOT of reasons why what used to work may not work now that we have kids in our houses. Do we sense a recurring theme here?!?! Plus, Biz misses consistency, Theresa is still ruining birthdays, and we talk to Patrice Karst and Dr. Dana Wyss about helping children process grief, loss and separation with the new Invisible String Workbook. You can find more from Patrice Karst on her website Patricekarst.com. You can also follow her on Twitter @patricekarst and IG at theinvisiblestringinsta.

The guest for this episode is Theresa Thorn, co-host of the parenting humor podcast One Bad Mother and the co-author of You’re Doing a Great Job! 100 Ways You’re Winning at Parenting. Along with illustrations by Noah Grigni, Theresa also wrote her first book for children, It Feels Good to Be Yourself: A Book About Gender Identity, a straightforward exploration of gender identity to give children a fuller understanding of themselves and others. As I detailed in my recent essay about discovering my own identity (LINK), Theresa’s recent appearance on Alison Rosen’s podcast telling her own journey with her transgender daughter that inspired her to write this book also was that final piece of the puzzle I needed to understand myself. During this episode, we talk about her book, her podcast, gender identity, and about how she helped me figure out my own identity.

Biz and Theresa hang ten as we ride the waves of parenthood enjoyment. Is it something that is out of our control or do we have the power to control the tides?

Biz and Theresa talk about a thing that keeps happening where our six-year-olds are going along, having The Best Day Ever, and then suddenly something switches and they decide their day is ruined and it is all Mama's fault. Sure, our kids' emotional regulation skills are in the process of emerging, but that doesn't change the fact that it really sucks to get yelled at! Especially after we just spent hours facilitating play dates and/or engaging in quality time activities with our kids. Plus, Biz chooses Curtain Number Three, Theresa loves antibiotics, and we talk to John Kenney about love poems for people with children.

Biz and Theresa ponder the age old concept: “It’s cute, till it isn’t.” Be it singing or asking questions or adorable bedtime routines, it’s all cute…till it isn’t. Does it stop being cute with time? When we’re out of patience? When a friend stops by and we notice they don’t think it’s cute? Plus, Biz brought the fudge, Theresa makes some changes and we talk to Jen Lumanlan of the podcast Your Parenting Mojo.

I’m your host Keith Weinhold and I’m going to answer a few listener questions today… ...about your cash flow, your total rate of return, and finally, Home Equity Lines Of Credit. Then we’re going to have one of the top real estate trend trackers in the nation join us here later. Let’s get right into it. Ellis from Gastonia, North Carolina asks, “Keith, Episode 188 had a great breakdown of how run you all of the numbers on an income property. The thing I’m wondering about is that your example only resulted in a positive cash flow of $150 on that property. With the maximum of 10 conforming loans that we can get, that’s only $1,500 in monthly cash flow. How would that be enough for us to leave our job?” Thanks, Ellis. And, of course, not everyone that listens here wants to have their passive real estate income replace their passive job income. Though many do. ...and it’s not a get rich quick thing...it’s about incrementally building up durable cash flow streams over years. Well, Ellis, and I’m not sure how many shows you’ve listened to. That example of the $150 cash flow was just for one SFH - and really for one of the lower-cost ones - the purchase price on that was 70-some thousand dollars. It was in Memphis. So most of the income properties you buy will have a higher purchase price, higher figures, and often a higher cash flow. Really, $1,500 with ten properties would be about as low as a projected number could possibly get. So Ellis, if you’re married, both you and your spouse - you each qualify for 10 one-to-four unit properties...20 total and BTW… ...you want to put those in your individual names. If both you and your wife were on the loan, that would count as a strike against each of your limit of 10, so as you buy, alternate back-and-forth - you own the first one, she owns the second, you own the third, and so on, or something like that. So that’s 20 doors minimum there - or I guess 19 since your primary residence is part of that formula, plus if you have some duplexes or four-plexes in there, that might be 25 or 30 or 40 doors. So, there’s so many reasons why you would likely have substantially more than $1,500 in passive monthly cash flow. Then there are financing programs beyond conventional ones, you might also have some 5+ unit apartment buildings, some agricultural parcels or a mobile home community, or maybe you even got a couple low-cost properties paid-off and don’t think it’s worth getting a loan for tiny amounts, so they produce cash flow although there’s no loan there… ...there are a ton of reasons why it would be way more than $1,500. Thank you for the question, Ellis. ...And another important thing to remember there is that we’re only talking about cash flow - which is only one of five simultaneous profit centers that you typically have. But cash flow is a key profit center because it’s the most liquid one. Jessy from Sacramento, CA says, I love your show. It’s flipped my financial mindset totally upside-down, changed my family’s life, and changed what I thought was possible for us. Part of what I love hearing about is that 5 Ways You’re Paid in real estate. Ah - then he (or she?) shows me an example here in the question of 30% for leveraged appreciation + 6% cash flow , 5% loan paydown, 4% tax benefits, 3% inflation-hedging = a total return of 48%. Yes, those are the five ways that real estate investors often have as profit centers. The question Jessy asks about this is: “Though I get my properties from GREturnkey.com and these returns seem about right, I don’t think I’m invested in any one market that performs this way.” OK, I love that question, Jessy. Few individual markets are going to perform just that way. It’s a blended portfolio approach. For example, on your new purchase in Dallas-Fort Worth, you might not have any cash flow any more. It might be cash flow zero. That’s just the way DFW behaves now. But it’s likely that you’ve been achieving better than 6% appreciation there in DFW (and I’m referencing that 6% appreciation at 5:1 leverage as the 30% Jessy gave in the example). Then if you’ve also bought in Memphis, you’re likely achieving less-than-average appreciation - that’s just how many areas in Memphis behave, but you’re getting above-average cash flow. So it’s the blended portfolio approach that can lead to “Year One” returns like what I’ve described with the “Five Ways That You’re Paid”. Multiple markets means you’re more diversified at the same time. One market, however, that’s performed lately with a nearly equal measure of both appreciation and cash flow are some of the Orlando and Tampa Bay submarkets...so some markets will come close - most won’t - they’ll be weighted differently across your five profit centers. Thanks for the question, Jessy. The next question comes from Michael in Astoria, Oregon. Astoria is beautiful. One day, I went to the top of the Astoria column there - it’s a tower overlooking the mouth of the Columbia River. Michael says, “There aren’t any cash flow markets out here on the west coast and we have substantial equity in our $1 million Astoria home. We still owe $504,000 on the loan so it’s about half-paid off. From listening to you and understanding that the Return From Home Equity is always zero, I also know that our leverage ratio has been cut to 2-to-1. What’s the best way of removing our home equity to use for down payments on cash-flowing income property?” Well, thanks for the question, Michael. First of all, you need to decide for yourself that that’s what you want to do with your home equity. Understand that doing so means that none of your equity is lost - it is merely transferred into multiple properties - and it also can produce a cash flow for you now. Of course, though the return from home equity is always zero, borrowing against your home equity incurs an interest rate expense that you need to beat. I’ve removed equity from my property with a HELOC for buying more investment property...and let’s drill down and unpackage a HELOC here - H.e.l.o.c. - Home Equity Line Of Credit. Let’s talk about why you would use one, how it works, and both your advantages and your risks here, Michael. With a HELOC - if you understand how a CC works, you largely understand how a HELOC works, except your credit limit is based on how much equity you have in your home. You can usually borrow up to an 80% combined LTV ratio. So what’s 80% combined LTV really mean? Now with your home, let’s just round your million-dollar home’s mortgage loan balance to 500K. This means that you could potentially borrow up to $800K total - you’ve already got a $500K lien on the property, meaning you could get a HELOC for another $300K. Yes, with $300K, you could potentially put $30K into ten low-cost income properties in the Midwest and South - down payment & closing costs. Now you’ve spread your risk around because you’re invested in multiple RE markets. Now to qualify for a HELOC, you'll need to document your income and employment status just like you would if you were refinancing your home, Michael. People often use HELOCs for home repairs, sometimes they’re used to pay down higher interest rate CCs. But you can use the funds for anything - a trip to France, a new fishing boat. The HELOC is essentially a second mortgage for you. Like a credit card, homeowners can borrow or draw money on multiple occasions, usually for a period of 5-10 years, and up to a maximum amount - it would be $300K for you in this case, Michael. There are two time phases with a HELOC. The first one is your Draw Period, which typically lasts 5-10 years. The second one is your Repayment Period - which can last about 10 years, maybe even up to 20 years. Now the first one, your HELOC Draw Period is a really nice time. Now you’ve got access to $300K, and you only need to make interest-only payments on it - which means you have flexibility - you can make principal payments on it if you want, but you only need to pay the interest portion monthly. And your HELOC balance can be very elastic - like a credit card - you could just borrow out $150K on your $300K line right away, make extra principal payments to get it down to $120K after a few months, then months later, run it all the way up to the limit of $300K, and years later pay it back down to “0” again. It’s a pretty great time for you - you’re enjoying what feels like a windfall of cash and you only need to make the interest-only payments. But after this 5-10 year Draw period, the second of your two HELOC time phases begins - your Repayment Period. Now, this can be a real test of how responsible you’ve been with your HELOC funds during your Draw Period - because during this repayment period which can last 10 to 20 years, you must pay both the interest and the principal amount - so your required minimum payment will be higher over all these months until you pay the HELOC balance back down to zero. Usually, the repayment amount is calculated by dividing the capital you’ve accessed - call it $300K here - by the number of months in your repayment period. Simple math here. Now, before you originate your HELOC - beware - occasionally, a lender requires your capital to be fully repaid at the end of your 5-10 Drawdown period all in one lump sum - which is known as a balloon payment. So before you take out a HELOC, just ask your mortgage loan officer about the duration of your Repayment Period once your Draw period ends, ensuring that there’s no balloon due. Now, even if you do have a 10-20 year repayment period, some borrowers still get surprised at the higher payment during the repayment period - but you won’t be - you’ve got to pay both principal and interest there. Your required payment will increase then. Now, here’s a great option for you. Of course once your 5-10 year Draw Period ends, maybe you want to keep your line of credit and extend the draw period. Many lenders will do this for you, so long as your home still has enough equity and your financial health hasn’t tanked. Typically, a lender will “pay off” your old line of credit by simply extending you a new one. Now that you understand Draw Periods and Repayment Periods, let’s talk about your HELOC’s interest rate. HELOCs have substantially lower interest rates than CCs. HELOC interest is often tax deductible - CCs are not. Your interest rate floats. It’s not fixed. HELOC interest rates are tied to Prime Rate or LIBOR plus a margin above that which is based on your credit score. Your upfront HELOC costs low, Michael. A $300K HELOC cost might only be a $1K upfront cost. Now, let’s talk about some risks associated with using your primary residence’s equity for purchasing rental property. If you have a habit of abusing credit, maybe avoid a HELOC altogether. Since a HELOC is secured by your home equity, if you don't repay it, you could end up in foreclosure. The same of which can be said for most any mortgage. Let me tell you about something bad and unforeseen that happened to me with a HELOC in about 2007 or 2008….and by the way, lending guidelines were so loose then that I actually had a 90% LTV HELOC on a non owner-occupied four-plex. If you can believe that! But it’s not like that today, so with your HELOC based on 80% LTV on your primary residence, say, Michael, that you’re in a place during your draw period a couple years down the road and say you’ve borrowed $150K of your $300K HELOC. You’ve got half of it in use. Here’s what happened to me, just using your numbers to stick with your example - I got a notice from the bank telling me, essentially that they froze my HELOC. What did freezing my HELOC mean? It meant that even though I was still in my Draw Period, they wouldn’t let me draw further equity from my home - it was frozen at $150K. Now, they didn’t call the note due or demand any principal payments. I could still make interest-only payments on the $150K, but with no further drawdowns. There was another $150K that remained unutilized. ...and why was that? Well, a lot of unprecedented things happened during the Great Recession of 2007 to 2009. Even though the property I owned didn’t fall in value all that much ten years ago, when housing values started turning down nationally 10-12 years ago, many banks said that you can’t make any further draws on your HELOC - we’re freezing it - essentially the banks were saying that we’re worried about the value of your collateral that secures this loan that we made to you. Well, I was disappointed because I still had some open funds to use on my HELOC, but access was shut off for quite a while. That was the HELOC freeze. Now, I could have avoided that had I just taken all the money out of the HELOC and put it in my own liquid bank account. Of course, I would have had to pay interest on a lump that I wasn’t investing too. Let me just add here, that whomever you listen to for finance and real estate investing information and education, listen to someone that been through a downturn. I’ve been successfully investing in real estate directly since 2002, and the housing crisis and mortgage meltdown of 2007 to 2009 was actually good for me - as I’ve discussed on other shows. Now, for you to get a gain - your HELOC interest rate that you’re paying should be the same as, or lower than, the cash-on-cash return of the income property that you’re buying with the HELOC funds. That’s because it’s cash that you service the I/O HELOC payments with - and you’re really keeping an eye on that when your Draw Period comes to an end. Remember that HELOC rates have been rising and they’re poised to keep rising. Now, I already know what you’re thinking. You’re excited about real estate investing and building your portfolio and if you have some equity in your home, you might even be thinking something like: “Even if my income property’s CCR ends up lower than my home’s HELOC interest rate, it’s all going to work out for me because when I consider that the income property pays me 5 ways (of which the CCR is only one of those five), my Total Rate Of Return will dwarf the smaller HELOC interest rate. I know you might be thinking that. And you know what, you might even end up being right and it will work out for you, but now you’re tilting into a riskier area. And you’re going to do whatever you’re going to do…. ...but the Mortgage Meltdown ten years ago proved to me that liquid cash flow is what services HELOC payments. The other four ways you’re often paid - appreciation, loan paydown paid by the tenant, tax benefits, and inflation-hedging - none of those profit centers are liquid. By the way, and thanks for the question Michael - Now, I’ve had some detractors in the debt-free School Of Thought that won’t even entertain the notion of harvesting equity from their own home and buying rental property with it. But I do it...and I’m not telling you to do it...I’m saying make your own decision. But some even say things like - I bet you won’t like your decision when we have another mortgage meltdown like we did ten years ago. My response is - this way, I’m better positioned in a mortgage meltdown. During the Housing Crisis, some markets even lost 50, even 60% of their housing values. In a meltdown, I’m going to be really happy that I didn’t have a lump of equity all in one property just in one market. Plus, during all that time leading up to a potential future meltdown, I will have had positive cash flow the entire time. I’ve even had a couple people - that just don’t ever seem to want to think abundantly say - well what if things go beyond a recession and we’re in an all-out depression and everyone loses their job and Americans are massively starved for food. Then the person that rents your Kansas City property won’t have their medical job to pay your rent anymore, and the Fedex employee in Memphis that rents your place won’t have a job and your cash flow will dry up. Sheesh, if we’re in an all-out Depression, and the economy breaks down, no one accepts the dollar, and there’s anarchy and mass starvation and looting and Americans don’t even have clean water and everyone’s defaulted on every loan they have, then the fact that you lost the cash flow on your St. Louis rental property is not even going to be one of your Top 20 problems. So...I don’t know what these people are thinking. Now... When you’re running your numbers on a single-family income property that you’re thinking about buying and you get a CCR greater than 10%, you know, these days. I want you to look at that CCR with a magnifying glass. Many markets have prices rising faster than rents that can keep up proportionally. You can still get 10% on a SFH, but not as easily as before. And I still don’t know of a better place to invest right now than SF income property. And I don’t think we’re in any kind of housing “bubble” now. A bubble is defined as a price level unsupported by fundamentals. Today, supply shortage is driving demand. Therefore, it is very much still a fundamental price increase, not a bubble - in these stable inland markets where we buy homes a little below the median housing value. So...know the pros and cons of strategic investment moves like a HELOC origination. Your goal, as a successful investor, is to maximize your ROI throughout your investing lifetime. I frequently sell or refinance properties due to that fact that equity-heavy properties decrease your ROE - your Return On Equity. Financially-free beats debt-free. The debt-free person asks a question like “Where do I think I can be someday?” The financially-free person instead asked themself a better question - what do I have right now to make my & my family’s life better now - what tool do I have that I didn’t even know I had. What knowledge do I have now, what talent do I have now, what property equity do I have now, what relationships do I have now. So...thanks for the listener questions today. I only got to three. There is such a backlog of questions that I’ve got. I wanted to answer three that I felt would be most applicable to the greatest number of people. Well, ATTOM Data’s Senior VP Daren Blomquist is back with us today. We’re going to discuss how among homeowners - they’re staying in their homes longer than before - but renters are not included in this - so note that this isn’t a direct measure of transiency. There are so many reasons for why homeowners are staying put longer Low interest rates that they locked in years ago often means they don’t want to leave. Mortgage underwriting standards are tougher than they were pre-recession. The supply of replacement properties is low. To a lesser degree - our population aging - the older one gets, the less they move. The supply problem is getting so bad that people increasingly are using data sets of predictive analytics and Artificial Intelligence to tell if someone is about to sell their home. All that’s next, plus where the more undervalued Midwest & South housing markets are for income property today. You’re listening to Get Rich Education. ______________ For those figures Daren was using in comparing various metro housing market prices to their pre-recession peaks, those numbers are not adjusted for inflation. Keep that in mind. So if over the last decade we had a cumulative 30% inflation over all those years, then a housing price that’s 30% greater is essentially the same. Very important distinction there. Thanks again to Daren Blomquist. I know that you’re a Get Rich Education listener, but are you a Get Rich Education watcher? Get Rich Education TV is developing.

Today, we are joined by Dr. Kevin Wacasey, a successful direct primary care health care provider who has written two books on the economics of health care. He offers practical advice for patients wanting better service and cheaper prices in order to combat the growing health care cartel. In this episode, Dr. Kevin draws upon his experience to explain how government created the corporate conglomerate practice of medicine. Not only has this induced a price-gouging monopoly, it has degraded the quality of health care delivery. We no longer have the best scientific methods dictating the best clinical practices, we have doctors serving corporate masters who serve the insurance cartel…who are bought and paid for by government. The loss of private practice and the rise of corporations practicing medicine built off a government-run-and-created cartel, is the most dangerous trend in medicine. Ultimately, Dr. Wacasey believes it’s up to patients to solve the health care crisis by utilizing this era of high deductibles to ditch insurance and shop around with resources such as Health Care Blue Book. Dr. Wacasey is the author of two books: 'The Guide to Buying Health Insurance, and Health Care;' and 'Healthcareonomics 101: 500 Ways You’re Being Ripped Off By The Health Insurance, and Health Care Industries.’ He maintains a blog athealthcareonomics.com, and you can follow him on twitter at @HConomics, or at his Facebook page Healthcareonomics."

When I was researching funny podcasts about parenting before starting MIH, the first show that I came across was One Bad Mother and I immediately knew why it was so popular. Biz Ellis & Theresa Thorn started One Bad Mother when they were new friends. And over the years, listeners have been able to get to know them, as they get to know each other. As you can imagine, with that comes their funny, unique, and honest look at parenting and relationships. Sometimes they agree and sometimes they don't but it's interesting to hear them figure it out together. One Bad Mother is now consistently one of the top podcasts on iTunes because of it. Goals, people. Goals. Biz and Theresa have parlayed their podcasting success into a book called, "You're Doing a Great Job: 100 Ways You’re Winning at Parenting”. They are both big believers in encouraging other moms through their stories and life experiences so they don't feel alone. The book is filled with funny observations, affirmations, and words of wisdom that every mom can relate too. It's available now online so you can see for yourself! And here's the best part, if you're in the LA or NYC area you can watch these ladies LIVE as they record an episode of One Bad Mother. They will also be signing copies of their book after the show. The LA show is August 26th and the NYC show is October 14th. Tickets are available now here. And you can listen to One Bad Mother on the Maximum Fun Network or download the show on iTunes.
In today’s special episode of the Conservative Conscience, we discuss the one element missing from this endless health care debate…health care. A special guest, Dr. Kevin Wacasey, a successful health care provider who has written two books on the economics of health care, joins us to cut through the clutter of the Obamacare debate and identify the root cause of health care inflation on the supply side. He demonstrates how it’s not the cost of health care that is outrageous, but the charges for health care. The source of that problem? The government and the insurance cartel, which is propped up by government. Were we to get third-party payer out of our system, prices would come down dramatically. The root of the government/cartel success in distorting our market and conflating health care with medical insurance is their publicly-funded myth that health care is inherently expensive without their product. In fact, it is expensive only because of their product, which is sponsored by government regulations, subsidies, and mandates. Dr. Wacasey believes that Americans are being hurt by the role that the health insurance industry plays in maintaining our restrictive, reactive, and overpriced health care system. He wants to change health care by changing the way you think about health care, because you – as patients – have the greatest impact on what needs to be done. He offers our listeners advice on how to shop around for health care, even in this very limited market system.

When I started out on the internet in the late 90’s it wasn’t as easy as it is today to get online and have a presence quickly. How To Create Internet Presence In 10 Minutes There were ways to create websites, but without knowledge of HTML or the desire to learn about web design it was a challenge.Most people invested large amounts of money to have their websites designed. Today any and everyone can create a web presence online overnight. Yes! You can have a web presence overnight. However the key is this, doing it right. I was online in the 2003, but it wasn’t right. The same struggles many are having today, I didn’t know the key and pivotal elements to getting started online right. How can one do it right? 1., Blog – Getting a blog is one of the fastest and cost effective ways to getting online today. Blogs are easy to update, which means there’s no need for a webmaster to make small and minute changes. The cost is either free, small base fee or you can host it yourself. It all depends your skill level. One thing, they are built to help you get started right. Search engines love blogs because they fuel their engine with content. 2., Keywords – These are the keys your audience use in order to find you online. I didn’t provide my target audience with a set of keys. Let’s say you have a blog or a website and you’re not getting the results you want. It’s possibility you haven’t defined your keywords. This is where a lot of people go wrong online. This is where I struggled. Without keywords and keyword phrases your website or your blog will forever be lost in the abyss.
