I am just enamored by this world now and having the law background has provided sort of different color for that." Timestamped Shownotes: 0:38 - Pancham introduces Bethany to the show 2:47 - Her law career and how she learned about real estate investing 4:33 - Major differences between private and public offerings 10:14 - The 3 main factors to look out for in a syndicated deal 13:52 - Circumstances that limited partners need to be responsible for 16:47 - Rule 506(c) vs. Rule 506(b) offering from an operator's viewpoint 20:09 - Taking the Leap Round 20:09 - Launching her business as her investment outside of Wall Street 24:05 - Her fears when she started her subscription box business 25:10 - Raising funds as her investment that didn't work out 26:00 - Why rookie investors should go and invest right now 26:56 - Platforms where you can contact and connect with Bethany 3 Key Points: Don't invest with an operator who guarantees you positive returns as it's not allowed.

It's important to tell potential investors about the potential risks in a deal upfront instead of telling them after they've made their investment. You can't solicit or advertise your deals publicly if you're conducting an offering under Rule 506(b) thus, seeing those offerings in social media is a red flag to look out for.

In today's show, Pancham interviews Dr. Amy Novotny - a physical therapist, pain specialist, and founder of PABR Institute. One of the things that we tend to ignore when we're busy achieving our goals is prioritizing our own health. Today's episode will specifically focus on how we breathe - the one aspect of health that we tend to overlook. With Dr. Amy's mission to provide natural remedies for those suffering from pain, she has been treating people by simply telling and teaching them how to breathe! In this episode, discover the importance of shifting our breathing mechanism right as she shares why we tend to not realize that we don't breathe, how there are so many more benefits in breathing, and how it can eliminate stress!

Credit risk of the tenants is one of the risks to look out for so it's best to analyze the potential buyer's profile and see if they're capable of paying their obligations. Consider the location of the property if it's convenient for the company to continue its operations.

When investors bought a share of a property's equity, they don't automatically become owners of the property but is simply an agreement that both have to be obliged. The expected returns will depend on the value of the property thus the company shares in the property's gain or loss and helps in the owner's debt burden.

In today's show, Pancham interviews Dana Samuelson - President of the American Gold Exchange, Inc. The COVID-19 pandemic has been continuously affecting our lives one way or another - like how the demand for precious metals has boomed over the last year.

Dana is back on the show to share the current state of the market and in the precious metal industry. This episode will surely enlighten you as he provides insights on inflation and how it will potentially affect the future. Listen and enjoy the show! Quote: "Most people would think that the price of gold is going up. But really, the price of gold is staying the same but the value of the dollar is going down against it." Timestamped Shownotes: 0:49 - Pancham welcomes Dana back to the show 3:36 - Starting the America Gold Exchange and its 41 years of success 5:23 - Why the precious metals industry is thriving in the pandemic 10:39 - The aftereffect of high demand in gold and silver investing 16:15 - How the economy is moving towards stagflation 20:30 - On measuring wealth through productivity units than the dollars 23:10 - How precious metals haven't changed in value (and why wages contributes to inflation) 25:31 - His forecast on what to expect in tax changes 27:39 - On what to expect next in the precious metals market 30:15 - Dana's contact information 3 Key Points: The demand for precious metals has grown as this is where people invest whenever there is economic trouble - such as this pandemic.

"Tony Robbins says that success in anything is 80% psychology and 20% mechanics. I truly believe that. It's all about the mindset. Lou Holtz once said that "When you stop growing you start dying."

Keeping this in mind, I decided to do short 5-10 minutes episodes to discuss the productivity tips, inspiring quotes and success tips with you. Some of these things have had an impact on me personally and wish the same for you too. Today's tip is on: Your midyear checkpoint
