Jim Rickards is our guest today. Debt is growing faster than the economy. In an eventual financial crisis, we discuss how a real estate investor will fare. A prolific author, Aftermath is Jim Rickards' new book. Debt, inflation, and interest rates are macroeconomic forces that affect you daily. The U.S. has $23 trillion in debt. Why can't we just keep kicking the "debt can" down the road? Alexander Hamilton effectively created the debt 230 years ago. When the debt-to-GDP ratio exceeds 90%, problems occur. It's 103% in the U.S. today. We discuss debt solutions, and why negative interest rates and Trump tax cuts won't work. Rickards says inflation has nothing to do with money supply; it's about psychology. Learn how a new international monetary system looks - outside the U.S. dollar. In a new system, hard assets retain value. Stocks and bonds lose substantial value. __________________ Want more wealth? 1) Grab my FREE E-book and Newsletter at: GetRichEducation.com/Book 2) Your actionable turnkey real estate investing opportunity: GREturnkey.com 3) Read my best-selling paperback: getbook.at/7moneymyths __________________ Resources mentioned: Book - Amazon: Aftermath by Jim Rickards National Debt Clock Mortgage Loans: RidgeLendingGroup.com Turnkey Real Estate: NoradaRealEstate.com QRP: TotalControlFinancial.com JWB New Construction Turnkey: NewConstructionTurnkey.com Best Financial Education: GetRichEducation.com Find Properties: GREturnkey.com Follow us on Instagram: @getricheducation Keith's personal Instagram: @keithweinhold

Imagine that you're paid $8.5 million - your entire life's earnings - all on the last day of your life. But you received nothing until then. That income really wouldn't serve you well anymore. It's an extreme example about "The Power Of Now". Delayed gratification should not be a long-term condition. You get one life. I also discuss housing affordability: which is your income, housing prices, and mortgage interest rates. Historically, affordable homes have a price-to-income ratio of 2.6 or less. In just three minutes time, I tell you how the Federal Reserve works. Their ¼% interest rate cut announced last week is the first cut since 2008.

Floating ocean nations can provide solutions to rising sea levels, overpopulation, and poor governance. It's known as "seasteading". Joe Quirk of The Seasteading Institute describes their plans and structure. The institute was co-founded by well-known venture capitalist Peter Theil. This differs from living on a boat or oil platform, or cruise ship life. 200 miles offshore is the exclusive economic zone. Hurricanes, tsunamis. A new environment for enterprise and innovation. Seeking freedom and liberty. Aquaculture - seaweed, algae farming. Regulation by the free market rather than government. Could security evolve into an army? Today's seasteading population. Cryptocurrency. How far we are from a seastead nation? __________________ Want more wealth? 1) Grab my FREE E-book and Newsletter at: GetRichEducation.com/Book 2) Your actionable turnkey real estate investing opportunity: GREturnkey.com 3) Read my best-selling paperback: getbook.at/7moneymyths __________________ Resources mentioned: The Seasteading Institute: Seasteading.org Blue 21 Floating Homes: www.blue21.nl/ GRE's Tampa Real Estate Field Trip: RealEstateFieldTrip.com Mortgage Loans: RidgeLendingGroup.com Turnkey Real Estate: NoradaRealEstate.com QRP: TotalControlFinancial.com JWB New Construction Turnkey: NewConstructionTurnkey.com Best Financial Education: GetRichEducation.com Find Properties: GREturnkey.com Follow us on Instagram: @getricheducation Keith's personal Instagram: @keithweinhold

I'm your host Keith Weinhold and I'm here to help Beginning Real Estate Investors Today. The biggest beginner mistakes to avoid, when you make an offer - can you lowball a turnkey provider, and all those buyer steps like LLCs, mortgage pre-approval, inspection, appraisal, and closing. Today, on Get Rich Education. _____________________ Welcome to GRE. This is Get Rich Education Episode 249 - and this is your Beginner's Real Estate Investing Audio Guide. Hi, I'm your host Keith Weinhold. We're talking about how to get into long-term buy & hold RE investing - and that's because it's the most generationally-proven way to build wealth. First, let's talk about a couple of the biggest mistakes that real estate investors make - it's being invested in only one geographic market. Often, that's the market that they just happen to live in. There is more risk with being in only one market than most realize, because you're now tied to the fortunes or misfortunes of just one area's economy. Another substantial, common real estate investor mistake is that they continue to hold onto one - I'll call it - special - property in their portfolio that they usually need to get rid of - but they have either sentimental ties to it - or they just hold onto it for convenience, and do you know what that property is? I'm actually talking about a specific property here. It's the home that THEY YOU USED TO LIVE IN yourself. Well, what's wrong with renting out the home that you used to live in yourself? You might still have the preferable owner-occupied financing locked in on that one - and afterall, that's a better rate than you could get on a non-owner-occupied rental. The problem is that the property probably doesn't perform BEST as a rental. But you might be clearing, say $500 per month by using your former primary residence as a rental today. Look, for you, it's often about the cash flow - and yes, it is about the cash flow. But there's something even more important than cash flow - that's because nearly any property will cash flow if the loan were paid off. That's why it's really more specifically about the rent-to-value ratio of a property. If you're renting out the home that you used to live in, and it wasn't strategically bought as a rental, if your rent-to-value ratio (or RV ratio) is 0.6%, meaning that for every $100K in value it has, you're only getting $600 of monthly rent income, then you're losing cash flow dollars every year - and every month. Look, let's give a real life example of the .6% RV ratio. Say that you can get $1,800 rent out of that $300K property that you used to live in. But instead, three $100K homes bought strategically as rentals can have a combined rent income of $3,000. Yes, you can still find that full 1% rent-to-value ratio. So it's either one $300K property at $1,800 of rent income. Or three $100K properties at $3,000 of rent income. So you're losing $1,200 dollars of cash flow every month - you're only getting $1,800 rather than $3,000 - by not buying and owning strategically in markets

Property management is the glue that makes your investment stick together. But it's a tough job. GRE's own John Collins has done management consulting on a project of 159 single-family rental homes. Problems he encountered: 30% pay rent late or not at all Arson Unassigned parking spaces Domestic violence Abandoned car Condensation Pets and pests "Jerry Springer Show" in leasing office Unwanted boyfriend that wouldn't leave Syringes found in home Daylight coming in through baseboard Upgrading tenants from C-Class to B-Class. Raising the rent attracted better tenants. With just a $3 monthly rent increase per unit at a 6% cap rate, the project value increases $100,000. We break down the math. What gets measured gets improved. Maintenance issues occur with a property about quarterly. Practicing "tactical empathy".

Long-term rentals beat AirBnb and other short-term rentals (STRs) in a recession. STRs depend on vacationers. Stocks typically have a Cash-On-Cash Return of zero. Investor-advantaged property typically sells for $70 to $150 per square foot. Gregg Cohen joins me to discuss the importance of market appreciation for cash flow investors.

If a Depression occurs, you'll feel pain as a real estate investor. RE values and rents will both decrease. Awful. But stock and mutual fund investors will likely feel greater pain. Learn why today. Real estate investors maintain control. Interest rates would tend to go lower in a Depression. You could refinance. It's also a better time to improve your property because people will be out of work.

Home prices are expected to rise 4% over the next year. ________________ Guest Dave Zook discusses the opportunity to invest in ATMs. U.S. cash use is increasing at 5% annually.

Single-family homes are today's hottest rental type - both Realtor.com and John Burns RE Consulting agree. Boomers don't want the responsibility of homeownership, and also don't want to live in an apartment. This makes SFHs the hottest rental. Rental demand has shifted to basics: affordable, fewer amenities, better school districts. Suburban markets should see the concentration in future growth. Seth Williams of REtipster.com joins us to discuss the best real estate investing websites and apps. We also discuss self-storage facilities. Apps and websites: DealMachine helps you find deals. DealCheck helps you analyze deals. TenantCloud helps you self-manage rentals. BombBomb is a video e-mail service. Trello and Slack for workflow. Blinkist condenses books. RentOMeter estimates rents. Dropbox and Google Drive manage files. Evernote stores notes. DocuSign for digital contracts and signatures. __________________ Want more wealth? 1) Grab my FREE E-book and Newsletter at: GetRichEducation.com/Book 2) Your actionable turnkey real estate investing opportunity: GREturnkey.com 3) Read my best-selling paperback: getbook.at/7moneymyths __________________ Resources mentioned: Seth Williams: www.REtipster.com [email protected] Article: Hottest Rentals Are SFHs Website & Apps Discussed: DealMachine DealCheck TenantCloud BombBomb Trello Blinkist RentOMeter Dropbox Google Drive Evernote DocuSign Mortgage Loans: RidgeLendingGroup.com Cash Flow Banking: ProducersWealth.com Turnkey Real Estate: NoradaRealEstate.com QRP: TotalControlFinancial.com JWB New Construction Turnkey: NewConstructionTurnkey.com Best Financial Education: GetRichEducation.com Find Properties: GREturnkey.com Follow us on Instagram: @getricheducation Keith's personal Instagram: @keithweinhold

Compound interest doesn't work in real life. 5% is the average mutual fund investor return, though the S&P returned 10%. This is for the twenty years ending in 2015 (Source: Dalbar). This is even before taxes and inflation! Why are 401(k)s failing people? Inflation, emotion, taxes, fees, and volatility. Emotions make humans sell high and buy low - a recipe for disaster. I discuss how cash flow helps you remove emotion. Garrett Gunderson of Wealth Factory joins us. Financially-free people prioritize this way: value, cost, then price. Economic independence has five levers: Recover cash Engineer wealth Accelerate investment income Scale business revenue Treat yourself as the greatest asset Behavioral finance is where investing meets emotion. Facts don't change people's minds. I discuss what does. "Facts are stubborn things.

More people are renting. The homeownership rate has declined to 64%, from 69% in 2005. Credit score "inflation" has occurred due scoring model changes and a strong economy. The average FICO score is now 704, a record high. GDP in Q1 grew 3.2% year-over-year, exceeding expectations. A new program called the Home Select Loan (All-In-One Loan) operates similar to a 1st Lien HELOC. Ridge Lending Group President Caeli Ridge & I discuss the details: Line Of Credit for 30 years 80% LTV on home, 70-75% LTV on investment property No principal payments due for ten years Potential interest savings Better liquidity Interest rate based on LIBOR + a margin Use the simulator to see how much interest you save vs. your current mortgage.

If you make $110K per year unfulfilled, would you leave that job to make $78K fulfilled? Commentary. Learn how to put only a 5% down payment on your home, get a great interest rate with conventional financing and pay zero monthly Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). GRE Listener Anna Ferntheil joins us. She is a former co-worker of mine at the State Department Of Transportation. Still at her day job, Ferntheil has bought her first two turnkey properties in Ohio at GREturnkey.com, totalling about $400 of total monthly cash flow. Rather than "trading her time for dollars" for decades, she's building passive income streams through real estate. She now "thinks different". Ferntheil stresses the influence of associating with like-minded people. She's also investing in our referred Private Money Lending program, cash-flowing agricultural real estate, and moving her retirement to an eQRP (Enhanced Qualified Retirement Plan). You don't want "job security"; you want freedom. Security is the opposite of freedom. Today's show is coming to you from Anchorage, AK. Next week, I'll be in Dallas and Houston, TX.

Keep your debt. Get financially-free instead. We're talking about good debt. Retiring your debt often means you can't retire yourself. Home equity is: Unsafe. Illiquid. Has zero rate of return. So then, why have so much equity in any one property? Back in The Great Depression Era, banks could call your loan due-in-full anytime. They can't do that today. Don't fear mortgages. Embrace them; even collect them! Every dollar that goes into mortgage principal paydown is a dollar that you didn't invest. Separating equity from your home gives you more dollars to invest, not save. Paying down your mortgage INCREASES your foreclosure risk. Most think the opposite is true. Have a lot of home equity? Treat it as you like. But you probably have more dollars to invest than you think. So what's the formula? Consider keeping low equity positions in many cash-flowing investment properties. __________________ Want more wealth? 1) Grab my FREE E-book and Newsletter at: GetRichEducation.com/Book 2) Your actionable turnkey real estate investing opportunity: GREturnkey.com 3) Read my best-selling paperback: getbook.at/7moneymyths __________________ Resources mentioned Find Properties: GREturnkey.com Mortgage Loans: RidgeLendingGroup.com Cash Flow Banking: ProducersWealth.com Turnkey Real Estate: NoradaRealEstate.com QRP: TotalControlFinancial.com JWB New Construction Turnkey: NewConstructionTurnkey.com Follow us on Instagram: @getricheducation Keith's personal Instagram: @keithweinhold

Chicago and Philly are doomed. Today's guest, Peter Zeihan of Zeihan.com, tells us why. U.S. housing will change with shifts in immigration. Future immigrants will have more skills than current immigrants. Peter & I discuss city-by-city economic fortunes: New York City - Top U.S. destination for capital. But capital is beginning to flow to secondary cities like Charleston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Denver. NYC is not business-friendly. Philadelphia - Should be an economic powerhouse, but make poor business decisions. Not a world-class city. Will hollow out. Washington, D.C. - Could face problems with contractions in government demand. Cleveland, Pittsburgh - Both trending well with tech-based reinventions. Chicago - Rife with deep economic problems. May take national emergency to save them. Florida metros - Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville areas will keep booming. Memphis - Looks positive. Transportation center. Texas metros - Business-friendly, thriving, decisions made at local level. Big regional differentials in property tax. California - Most economically "unequal" state in U.S. Seattle - What pushes up housing prices? Geographic isthmus, new business. Hawaii - Real estate prices are high and resilient. Much of this is due to geography. With NAFTA's restructure, Texas and the Great Plains are poised to prosper. Want more of Peter Zeihan?

Learn how the U.S. compares to the rest of the world today - economically, geopolitically, and demographically. The global order no longer serves American interests. It's over. Today's guest, Peter Zeihan of Zeihan.com, tells us why. Peter & I also compare strength among global currencies, and discuss inflation vs. deflation, and interest rates. The U.S. has 90-95% economic self-sufficiency. For comparison, Germany's is 40%. Chinese global financial interaction is waning. Europe's negative interest rates are a future likelihood. Mexico, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Indonesia are poised for a bright economic future. China and the United Kingdom are expected to be future losers. Zeihan: London will decline. That money and activity will come to New York City. __________________ Want more wealth? 1) Grab my FREE E-book and Newsletter at: GetRichEducation.com/Book 2) Your actionable turnkey real estate investing opportunity: GREturnkey.com 3) Read my best-selling paperback: getbook.at/7moneymyths __________________ Resources mentioned Peter Zeihan's website: Zeihan.com Peter Zeihan on Twitter: @PeterZeihan Mortgage Loans: RidgeLendingGroup.com Cash Flow Banking: ProducersWealth.com Turnkey Real Estate: NoradaRealEstate.com QRP: TotalControlFinancial.com JWB New Construction Turnkey: NewConstructionTurnkey.com Find Properties: GREturnkey.com Follow us on Instagram: @getricheducation Keith's personal Instagram: @keithweinhold

#235: Under age 30? Then you've never been smacked in the face with an economic recession. I discuss. At 33, Tim Bratz is an expert in apartment buildings, finding deals, raising money, coaching, personal development, and mindset. Tim's real estate epiphany came when he saw a lucrative Manhattan real estate deal from the inside. He bought his first house in Charleston, SC in 2009 with a credit card for $14,000. Today, he has substantial equity in 2,000 doors and $150M+ in value. The key? "Give before you ask." I ask Tim about falling apartment cap rates today. He has an answer and plan for resilience.

#233: It's Rich Dad Month, Week 4 of 4. Guest Robert Kiyosaki joins us. Robert authored the landmark book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" and is the #1-Selling Personal Finance Author Of All-Time. He & I discuss the difference between real assets and fake assets. Real assets put money into your pocket every month; they feed you. Fake assets need you to feed them. Robert thinks all this is wrong: Go to school. Get a job. Work hard. Save money. Get out of debt. Invest in the stock market for the long-term. Savers are losers. We also discuss: the dollar and the gold standard, teachers, taxation, derivatives, debt, socialism, infinite returns, and the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend. It's Robert's third all-time Get Rich Education appearance. __________________ Want more wealth? 1) Grab my FREE E-book and Newsletter at: GetRichEducation.com/Book 2) Your actionable turnkey real estate investing opportunity: GREturnkey.com 3) Read my best-selling paperback: getbook.at/7moneymyths __________________ Resources Mentioned Rich Dad Website: RichDad.com Kiyosaki's New Book: Fake Nixon Gold Standard speech Mortgage Loans: RidgeLendingGroup.com Cash Flow Banking: ProducersWealth.com Turnkey Real Estate: NoradaRealEstate.com QRP: TotalControlFinancial.com JWB New Construction Turnkey: NewConstructionTurnkey.com Find Properties: GREturnkey.com Follow us on Instagram: @getricheducation Keith's personal Instagram: @keithweinhold

#229: Holy shift! Mortgage rates have hit their lowest level in a year. 5.5% interest rate and a 20% down payment for an income property are today's terms. 740 credit score gives you the best rates. Beyond your first 10 properties (single) and 20 properties (married), there is NO LIMIT on the number of properties you can buy (SFHs to four-plexes). Though after 10 single / 20 married, your interest rate will be higher, though not by much. Learn from Ridge Lending Group CEO & President Caeli Ridge about what you need to qualify for an income property loan today. We discuss your DTI: debt-to-income ratio. I give an example of how to determine yours. Want a cash-out refinance of your income property? 75% LTV for SFHs, 70% LTV for 2-4 unit properties. Learn about why today's smart money often buys 1-4 unit properties rather than larger apartment buildings … … it's the safety & stability of 30-year fixed loans. Remember, last month on the show, Jim Rogers told us interest rates will go much higher over the long-term. __________________ Want more wealth? 1) Grab my FREE E-book and Newsletter at: GetRichEducation.com/Book 2) Actionable turnkey real estate investing opportunity: GREturnkey.com 3) Read my best-selling paperback: getbook.at/7moneymyths __________________ Resources mentioned: Mortgage Loans: RidgeLendingGroup.com Find Properties: GREturnkey.com Cash Flow Banking: ProducersWealth.com Turnkey Real Estate: NoradaRealEstate.com QRP: TotalControlFinancial.com JWB New Construction Turnkey: NewConstructionTurnkey.com Follow us on Instagram: @getricheducation Keith's personal Instagram: @keithweinhold

#228: Is Trump's real estate wealth self-made or inherited? You get surprising answers. Also learn about property hold time, equity flipping, cap rates, health insurance, a mastermind group. How long should you hold onto an investment property? Short answer is 8 years. Generally, sell when you have at least 15% more equity than your contemplated replacement. "Equity flipping" is a term that I introduce to you today. Don't flip property, flip equity. This increases your velocity of money. Learn all about Cap Rates. Cap Rate is income divided by price. Cap Rates are driven by supply and demand. Cap Rate excludes financing because you brought a mortgage to a property, the property didn't come with the mortgage. Learn about health insurance for entrepreneurs. Next month on the show: Robert Kiyosaki, Tom Wheelwright, and Ken McElroy will all be here for "Rich Dad Month". __________________ Want more wealth? 1) Grab my FREE E-book and Newsletter at: GetRichEducation.com/Book 2) Actionable turnkey real estate investing opportunity: GREturnkey.com 3) Read my best-selling paperback: getbook.at/7moneymyths __________________ Resources mentioned: Visual Capitalist: Trump: The Real Story World Real Estate Trends & Climate: GlobalPropertyGuide.com Collective Genius Mastermind Group: http://invite.thecollectivegenius.com/ Mortgage Loans: RidgeLendingGroup.com Cash Flow Banking: ProducersWealth.com Turnkey Real Estate: NoradaRealEstate.com QRP: TotalControlFinancial.com JWB New Construction Turnkey: NewConstructionTurnkey.com Find Properties: GREturnkey.com Follow us on Instagram: @getricheducation Keith personal Instagram: @keithweinhold

#227: You are aging. So is America. The U.S. median age keeps rising. We need more senior housing. Your demographics are baked in the cake. Gene Guarino, owner of the Residential Assisted Living (RAL) Academy & I tell you about the opportunity. Serve seniors by converting Single-Family Homes into Assisted Living Homes (ALHs). There are two distinct pieces here: 1) The real estate. 2) The business with residents & care staff. Average U.S. ALH tenant pays $4,000 per month x 10 residents = $40,000. Your net is about 30%. That's $12,000 month. We discuss how to find the right real estate and strategies for filling it with residents. Rule of thumb: 300 sf for every resident is quite comfortable. Learn how an ALH-SFH "Profit & Loss Statement" looks. ALH tenants are long-term, low impact, and pay above-market "rent". My friend Brandon heard Gene here on the show before. Brandon got started. We discuss. It's easiest for you to buy an existing business. If you can't then learn about your care staff's necessary qualifications. Financing for ALHs? 80% loans. __________________ Want more wealth? 1) Grab my FREE E-book and Newsletter at: GetRichEducation.com/Book 2) Actionable turnkey real estate investing opportunity: GREturnkey.com 3) Read my best-selling paperback: getbook.at/7moneymyths __________________ Resources mentioned: Gene's Online Course Gene's Live Course Brandon's e-mail: [email protected] Mortgage Loans: RidgeLendingGroup.com Cash Flow Banking: ProducersWealth.com Turnkey RE: NoradaRealEstate.com QRP: TotalControlFinancial.com Find Properties: GREturnkey.com Follow us on Instagram: @getricheducation

#226: You're at risk with only one income stream. Federal government workers thought their income stream was "secure" until the recent shutdown. Recently, my friend was uprooted when his employer handed their family a job transfer (move or be fired). With only one income stream, you're beholden to one boss or one company's whims. You need multiple, durable passive income streams. America uses its land in surprising ways: 4% is urban land. 41% is pasture & range land. 20% is crop land. One company owns a timber stand nearly the size of West Virginia. Surprisingly, America is becoming less mobile. Fewer people move homes annually. Effects discussed. __________________ Want more wealth? 1) Grab my FREE E-book and Newsletter at: GetRichEducation.com/Book 2) Actionable turnkey real estate investing opportunity: GREturnkey.com 3) Read my best-selling paperback: getbook.at/7moneymyths __________________ Resources mentioned: Bloomberg: How America Uses Its Land Axios: Americans Less Mobile 2019 State Business Tax Climate Mortgage Loans: RidgeLendingGroup.com Cash Flow Banking: ProducersWealth.com Turnkey RE: NoradaRealEstate.com QRP: TotalControlFinancial.com Find Properties: GREturnkey.com Follow us on Instagram: @getricheducation

#225: Learn what manager fees you should pay & not pay. The "glue" that binds you & your profitable property together is your Property Manager (PM). Higher PM fees might be better or worse for you - it depends on what duties they perform. You pay both a Management Fee and a Leasing Fee. If there's an activity that you DON'T want to do with your property, then make sure your PM will do it as stated in your Management Agreement. What should Managers DO? Collect rent, find tenants, market vacant property, perform maintenance, pay bills, handle emergencies. What DON'T Managers do? Sell or refinance a property for you. What falls in between? Extensive renovations, evictions, regular maintenance inspections. We discuss Property Management Agreements. GRE-Houston is perhaps the best investment market we've never discussed before. As America's 4th-largest city, Houston has good rent-to-value ratios, low property prices, a vast economy, stunning growth, and laws benefit landlords over tenants.

So there you are, making between $60,000 and $150,000 per year. You've got a good home, steady employment, you drive a decent car. Sometimes you even feel "comfortable." This one precious life of yours is made up of time. Are you trading away that time for dollars at a job that you aren't passionate about? Every morning, you might even separate yourself from those you love… in order to do this. With real estate investing, you don't want properties so much as you want its passive income - income that you don't have to work for. Now your eternal time vs. money dilemma is solved. If you don't know why you urgently need financial freedom, do it so that you can "Be Yourself". See… you wake up to a blaring alarm to get to your job - and that's how your day starts. Then you're programmed to tote company lines all week. Near the end of the work day, you're playing another tireless charade - screwing around on the internet while you're watching the clock like it's a countdown timer so you can get out of there. that's unethical. You aren't being yourself… because you wouldn't naturally do those things. Most employees aren't driven by purpose, they're driven by fear. Your growth can only begin when you peel back each layer of your vulnerability onion and get honest with yourself. The roots of change are nourished with genuineness. You'd rather quit your job and be a nature photographer or a Red Cross volunteer or a sports writer or travel. Even if your job is OK, wouldn't life be better if you were job-optional? You haven't created the time to feel peace, joy, happiness, giving, love and freedom in your life. You spend all this time learning how works works, zero time learning about how money works... yet money is the only reason that you even go to work. Look… you won't obtain freedom by getting your money to work for you. Every dollar that you put in a stock or 401(k) plan can't leverage other people's money... ...for freedom, you must ethically employ other people's money. That's the mindset shift. Real estate gives you limitless access to other people's money - the bank's, the government's, and your tenants. When you have enough passive income to meet all of your expenses, you can quit your job and be free! Real estate is the generationally-proven way to build wealth and you don't even need any degree or certificate. That's why I talk tirelessly on my podcast, and in videos, and articles and newsletters and wrote a book, and keep visiting the best geographic markets to find the right opportunities and properties and to meet the right people. In this one life of yours, you can either be a conformer or you can build wealth. Once you have time freedom, whether or not you want to go on to be rich from there - well, that part's up to you. This is an unselfish act - because when you do what you love, you'll produce better results for both your family and society. You can't help others if you're poor. Don't live below your means. Expand your means - with anything that you do in life. The sad thing is, you have a choice in this - yet you're selling your time and your soul for money. And that's what breaks my heart. Learn how to invest in real estate - the smart, patient, stable way. Most people get used to "settling" in life. When you were 12 years old and thought about your adult life, I'll tell you one thing that you never thought: "Someday, I'm going to live a small life." Well, now that's precisely what you've done.

#218: You can achieve 10.5% Cash-On-Cash Returns with debt investing. With Private Money Lending, you rent your money (not your property) to a borrower. Their real estate is your collateral. This way, you have greater passivity and stability than most equity real estate investing. You participate on the DEBT side rather than the EQUITY side of real estate investing. You have a fixed, predetermined rate of return. You are in first lien position. This means that if your borrower defaults, you can get paid back first. This is debt syndication. That simply means that a number of lenders make a loan on one construction project. Act and learn more: GetRichEducation.com/Lending Most lending durations are 12-36 months. Typically, that's how long you receive monthly cash flow payments, with your principal returned at the end. Today's guest, John Larson, Managing Partner at American Real Estate Investments, tells us about debt syndication in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. Medical and office space are often developed, with 25-35 lenders on $2M-$4M properties.

In fact, these are the words of the Top-Selling Personal Finance Author Of All-Time, Robert Kiyosaki. *[Complete transcript far below - you can follow along]* Look, I have no savings account. I own no stocks, bonds, mutual funds, nor ETFs. I have no plans to pay off my home, though I could. Instead, it's about durable passive cash flow. Either you can be conventional, or you can be wealthy. Pick one. I tell you how savers can be losers and debtors can be winners. Inflation amplifies this notion. Keep a high velocity of money. You wouldn't tolerate a lazy employee, so why tolerate lazy money? Then I discuss how high real estate prices and higher interest rates will affect you.

I'm your host Keith Weinhold. "Savers Are Losers. Debtors Are Winners." Could that be true? Well, that's a quote from none other than the Greatest Selling Financial Author Of All-Time. We're going to break that down. and... What do higher interest rates mean to your future as an investor? Today, on Get Rich Education. Hey, welcome to Get Rich Education, I'm your host Keith Weinhold. Savers are losers. Debtors are winners. Really, how can something that sounds so absurd to most people - be true? Well, those are actually the words of the Greatest-Selling Personal Finance Author Of All-Time - Robert Kiyosaki. Let's unpackage this paradox, "Savers Are Losers, Debtors Are Winners." Now, one night recently, I was invited to a housewarming party by my friend, Jeff. Jeff & I have done running races together for years… ...he had just married, so Jeff and his wife had us and a number of friends over to "warm their new house". Jeff had a lot of friends at the party that I did NOT know, and so I ended up meeting and striking up a conversation with these two older men. One of the two men was a retired Engineer, and the other one still had an active work life - to some extent - he told me - as being a mutual fund salesperson. So...this was about to get really interesting. Now, I often enjoy talking to people decades older than I. As the three of us were standing around, I asked them how a younger person like me should prepare for retirement… just kind of to see what would happen. I figured that their answer to me would be rather predictable… and it sure was. And these guys don't know what I do. I had just met them for the first time. The first thing that they said, is, they told me to save money. Right after that, the other guy added, "And pay off your house before retirement!" Now, you probably know that the advice that they just dispensed to me is nearly the polar opposite of how I think about wise financial management - and achieving a good ROI, and managing your equity well. I just sort of quietly kept eye contact with them as they told me to save and pay off my house. Next, they asked me, well what do YOU do? Now, it's hard to explain to some people what I do, so - rather getting than detailed about that right away - I started replying to them by telling them… ...well, I don't HAVE a job. In fact, I quit my job years ago, because it took too much of my time. Now - just between me & you - running Get Rich Education isn't so much a job - but it is work. It's work that I enjoy. Anyway, moving on about my chat with these two older gentlemen, since they told me to SAVE money... I added that, I don't even have a SAVINGS account actually. And then I said: "As far as paying off my home by retirement - well, I do happen to own my home - though I often wonder if I would be better off paying rent instead. In fact, if I did move, it's fairly likely that I would become a renter, and not own again." But as long as do I own, I expect to keep my mortgage balance high into retirement age. In fact, if equity accumulates

#209: You're getting taxed in sneaky ways - both everywhere you look, and also where you DON'T look. Americans spend more on taxes than housing, food and clothing costs combined. Real estate has the best tax shelters - tax-deferred exchanges, rent income exempt from Social Security and Medicare tax, and tax depreciation sheltering more of your rent income. Today's guest, FOX News and CNN TV Contributor Kristin Tate, uncovers hidden taxes that you don't even know that you're paying. Stealthy taxes are killing you. They're often disguised as fees, licenses, and surcharges. Once citizens pay a new tax, they get used to it, and just keep paying it. Housing taxes, transportation taxes, utility taxes are often hidden. You learn where. Your tax revenue often goes to a "general fund", not where it "should".

After discussing the roles of money, currency, and real assets, we discuss the Cleveland, Ohio real estate investing market. Generally, if a place is too desirable to live in, it is a bad place to invest in long-term rental real estate for cash flow. But it must be attractive enough to retain residents. Cities must reinvent themselves when manufacturing wanes. Cleveland has doubled-down on medical technology and has become a world leader in health care. Eight Fortune 500 companies are headquartered here. The Cleveland Clinic is a world health care leader. Neighborhood selection, pockets for long-term appreciation and cash flow discussed.
