Jason is a guest on the Justin Colby podcast. In a dynamic discussion, Jason emphasizes the urgency of entering the real estate market now. Despite past speculations, timing the market often fails. Jason delves into the historical context, highlighting the scarcity in housing inventory. The low-interest rates during COVID created an asset surge, hindering inventory expansion. With a significant portion of homeowners holding mortgages below 4%, foreclosures are unlikely. Hedge funds are poised to capitalize on any downturn, ensuring market stability. Furthermore, the shortage is exacerbated in entry-level housing, presenting lucrative opportunities for investors.

Ep 21212121 FBF: Your 5 Year Plan Contest, Buying $100 Per Month for 30 Years, and Multi-Dimensional Investments
This Flashback Friday is from episode 904 published last November 1, 2017. Over the past few years, investment properties have become harder and harder to get a really good deal, but there are still solid investments available. You just have to be willing to shift your mindset away from what you could have gotten 5, 10, 15 years ago. You're being presented with the ability to have someone put $100+ in your bank account for the next 30 years, for the price of a down payment (around $20,000), not even taking into account all the other tax benefits you'll receive. Jason Hartman and Sara, his investment counselor, talk about what's going on in the investment property market, the importance of a long term plan, and why cash flow can ease concerns of high interest rates. Key Takeaways: 4:08 The relative scarcity of real estate is why values continue to go up (and will continue to) 8:02 The marketplace is the marketplace, and we must adjust our expectations in accordance with reality 9:57 How real estate investors who have been doing it for 10+ years are adjusting their expectations for properties "On no other asset class can you get such phenomenal financing, because income property is so secure" 15:25 Investors are having to invest in multiple markets due to low inventory availability 19:53 Jason's upcoming 5 year plan contest 26:33 That interest rates are still this low is baffling to Sara and Jason Website: Meet the Masters 2018 "People usually underestimate what they can do in 1 year, and they radically underestimate what they can do in 5 years" Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Covey as they discuss his book "The Speed of Trust." In business, cultivating trust is key for successful deals and relationships. The principle of "win-win or no deal" emphasizes fair collaboration, where both parties benefit. Trust fosters enduring relationships, enabling faster, more efficient cooperation. Smart trust involves assessing situations, clarifying expectations, and ensuring accountability. While contracts are necessary, they can't substitute genuine trust. Transparent, open, and fair dealings build reputations that lead to repeat and referral business. Long-term success lies in creating a high-trust culture, where mutual respect and consideration drive not just transactions, but positive, enduring partnerships.

Ep 20882088 FBF: Client Case Study - Unlocking the Long-Term Benefits of Real Estate & Income Property Investing
Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 244 published on Feb 22, 2012. Join Jason Hartman and client, Patrick, for a timely discussion about the benefits of real estate investing. Patrick shares his experiences working with Jason Hartman and Empowered Investor Network's investment counselors. Patrick tells younger people, "If you can have ten houses by the time you're 30, you'll be set when you're 60." Staying power – a buy-and-hold philosophy – is the key to successful real estate investing. Patrick and Jason talk about the importance of having all of the facts about local markets before purchasing a property so that the property makes sense the day you buy it. Due diligence includes such factors as property taxes, employment, location to schools and shopping centers, crime rate, and in- and out-migration from an area, just to name a few. Patrick talks about the downside of speculating on properties, using his own experience with a rental home in California as an example, and encourages due diligence and diversification. The current economy is producing a larger number of tenants as more and more homeowners are forced out of their homes through foreclosures. This is creating a larger market for rental property, but not all markets are viable. Jason and Patrick also discuss the importance of going where the customers are going to have the easiest time and a good experience, rather than being loyal to a market that is no longer providing a good return. Jason is a firm believer that the investment has to work in real life, not just on paper. In the latter portion of the show, Patrick discusses the pros and cons of a college education and how true learning takes place in the real world.

Ep 20872087: 2024 Housing Market Forecast: Why Home Prices Are Set to Soar Despite Challenges
Today Jason talks about "shadow demand" in the housing market. He emphasizes the impact of demographics, particularly the 25 to 34 age group, where about 16% are still living at home, representing untapped demand. With 11 million potential homebuyers in this category, Jason explores the dynamics of supply and demand, debunking predictions of a looming shadow supply. He also touches on factors like low inventory, the influence of baby boomers staying in their homes, and potential wildcards like geopolitical risks affecting the housing market's trajectory. Then Jason and Bridger finish their conversation as they delve into the housing market, the economy, and financial trends, noting that millennials and Gen Z are gradually entering it, causing a housing inventory shortage. Despite rising interest rates, the market still faces low inventory levels. The conversation shifts to the potential impact on banks due to an inverted yield curve, bond values, and the housing market's reliance on new construction. They also explore the possibility of a banking crisis and discuss the Fed's role in managing interest rates. Jason concludes with insights on the strength of the U.S. dollar, the perceived threat of BRICS nations, and the inevitability of central bank digital currencies, raising concerns about financial freedom. #peterschiff #RobertKiyosaki #ShadowDemand #SupplyAndDemand #RealEstate #HousingMarket #Economy #InterestRates #Banking #USDollar #BRICS #CBDC Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:37 Shadow supply & demand 7:42 What to expect from the 2024 housing market Bridger interviews Jason part 2 15:39 Low inventory 18:46 A new construction market 21:18 Total transactions have dropped 23:07 Banks, the housing market and the inverted yield curve 27:19 Protecting the US dollar 28:28 BRICS vs. America 31:54 CBDC's - one of the greatest threats to our freedom Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Ep 20852085 FBF: Charlie Munger: The Complete Investor, Value Investing with Tren Griffin
This Flashback Friday is from episode 583 published last October 19, 2015. Tren Griffin doesn't know the current stock price of Berkshire Hathaway and says Warren Buffett probably doesn't either. Day-to-day ups and downs in the market don't affect feasible, long-term investments.
