#189: If an income property is so good, why would anyone sell it to you? You get answers. I tell you how long it took me to quit my day job to replace it with passive income. Single-family income properties vs. apartment buildings are compared. Invest in a growing place. Florida keeps growing due to: affordable housing, warmth, coasts, and it’s the only income tax-free state east of the Mississippi River. The Orlando, Florida area has grown 20%+ in just the last decade. Turnkey RE investing means that a property is: 1) Already rehabbed.  2) Tenanted. 3) Under Management. 4) Produces income from Day One. $80-$150K, 36-month avg. tenant duration, 1.8% property tax, rent-to-price ratio ~0.9%.   Areas north of Orlando work best. Some areas to the south have economies more dependent on fickle tourism.

#187: A mortgage is a tool. Used responsibly, you can control 5x as much real estate with 20% equity than you can with a paid-off property. Risk is discussed.

#185: You learn how to market your property well. You will have more interested renters and buyers, better quality clientele, and more and better offers. Curb appeal, photography discussed. We discuss what makes a good turnkey RE investing provider, including how some property managers want your tenant to turn over so that they receive more leasing fees! Today’s guest owns a company that builds and provides new construction turnkey RE, which is why they have available inventory today. (Yes, really: today.) I recently visited their offices. Many managers don’t want to sign tenants to two and three-year leases because: 1) It’s easier to find tenants that sign one-year leases. 2) Managers get fewer leasing fees. Learn why today’s provider doesn’t do that. We discuss cash flow, rates of return and appreciation rates in Jacksonville, Florida.

#184: Higher interest rates are obviously bad for real estate investors that make new purchases. Few realize that higher interest rates often translate into HIGHER housing prices. How could that be true? I explain. MacroWatch’s Richard Duncan joins us. He tells us why interest rates are likely to rise substantially in coming years. Learn why low inflation pushes down interest rates and why high interest rates cool an economy.

#183: There is an asset type where you can get both cash flow and have the peaceable enjoyment of the premises yourself. Most people regret buying vacation property because they’ve either found that: 1) They don’t use it often. 2) They’re managing it as a rental to others. 3) They bought a timeshare. Imagine being able to buy tropical beach property in Placencia, Belize: it’s closer to most of the U.S. than Hawaii, with warmer water than Hawaii, and at low prices like Hawaii had decades ago. Buy vacation property that provides you with monthly cash flow, is in an up-and-coming place, and is turnkey-managed.

#182: Using your home as an ATM or credit card? Is this irresponsible? A listener and I discuss the risks and rewards of using a Home Equity Line Of Credit (HELOC) to cash out your home equity for use in income property investing. Our guest is a Get Rich Education listener and Grammy-Nominated Music Producer Blake La Grange of San Diego, CA. Most people settle for “Maybe someday.” Instead, optimize what you have now. Use leverage, debt and equity, and arbitrage to your advantage. Blake & his wife played the speculative property appreciation game well. Their $585,000 home soon appraised for $700,000+. This provided equity for them to transfer into income property.

#180: Stop looking at properties. (What?) I discuss. Are you in real estate for appreciation, cash flow, or something else? If you focus on cash flow, does that mean less appreciation, and vice versa? We discuss when a market becomes "too hot to buy for cash flow” any longer. The Midwest has more affordable property and better cash flow but less recession resilience. Dallas-Fort Worth keeps showing appreciation potential, but cash flow is drying up. When a market heats up, rents don’t “keep up” proportionally to a property’s market value. We also discuss low appraisals. Appraisals are what the bank uses to verify the quality of their collateral.

#178: The media - a FOX News Anchor - asks me about Get Rich Education wealth-building principles. Rather than asking questions, I’m the one being interviewed here. I tell the interviewer why getting your money to work for you will NOT create wealth. In real estate, I tell you why your ROI typically goes down after Year One. How to calculate a real estate rate of return; the differences between poor, middle class, and wealthy; being bold; increasing income, and more is discussed. The interviewer, Clayton Morris, is an experienced real estate investor himself.

#176: Stock investors are not getting ahead, but they think that they are. 10% return, minus 5% inflation, minus 2% fees, minus taxes, minus volatility, minus more. Most methods of valuing an income property are lousy. I tell you the good and the bad methods: price per square foot, price per unit, RV ratio, Gross Rent Multiplier, Cap Rate, Cash-On-Cash Return.

#175: The next twenty years will be nothing like the last twenty years. Chris Martenson of PeakProsperity.com tells you where wealth originates. It’s called primary wealth, consisting of things like trees, soil, a fishery, or a rich ore vein. The further you invest from primary wealth, the less real wealth you have. You learn about your 8 Forms Of Capital: Financial, Social, Material, Living, Emotional, Knowledge, Cultural, Time. You also learn about the future of energy.

#174: You actually want to increase your personal expenses over the long-term. What kind of financial blasphemy is this? I explain. You are worth more than you think. I tell you why. If you’re 30 and you live until age 90, you only have 60 more autumns in your life. You only have 7% of your time left with your own parents. Your quality time is valuable and fleeting. Some people have an overinflated sense about the importance of taxes. Rate of return matters more. Returns are like a pie, and taxes are only a piece of the larger pie. If your portfolio is small, do you really need an LLC for your income property? There’s a discussion of appreciation vs. cash flow.

#173: Don’t move to a low-tax state; let your tenant do it. Quit investing only for the long-term. I explain both. Alabama is the #1 state for per capita foreign direct investment. We discuss turnkey real estate investing in Birmingham, Alabama. A revival is taking place in Birmingham amidst economically diverse business sectors. Long-term tenant retention occurs in Birmingham submarkets due to: 2-year leases, tenant-owned appliances, more. When you purchase a turnkey property, you’re also “purchasing” a tenant and their income stream. We discuss. It takes about $24K-$25K to “get into” this market with down payment and closing costs on a turnkey single-family home. We also discuss how a real estate investor gets started: lender pre-approval, writing an offer, inspection, appraisal, etc. Learn more and find Birmingham property at GetRichEducation.com/Birmingham.

#172: Your market choice is more important than your property choice. One of the most prominent real estate developers in the United States, Victor Menasce, tells us how he selects a real estate market. Investing in larger metro areas is generally safer than investing in smaller metro areas because geographies are better diversified. Being invested in only one investment market is a mistake. You’re undiversified. Should you pay more or less than the construction cost of a property? Victor tells us the difference between price and value, and why that matters to you. Four factors drive price/value: 1) Construction cost. 2) Availability of money. 3) Inflation. 4) Supply and Demand. Victor is an expert at selecting markets, developing, and raising capital for deals. If you’re developing or making a large real estate investment, think about how consulting Victor could be a great investment. Connect with him at VictorJM.com. I join you from north Florida today because I’m out looking at, yes, real estate markets! W

#171: Your tenant is your customer. I discuss how to attract and retain great tenants. You must think about how your tenant thinks. The quality of the asset you buy affects the quality of the tenant that you will attract. Six qualities tenants want are: 1) safety 2) move-in-ready condition 3) short commute distance 4) upgrades 5) neighborhood amenities 6) rent amount. It’s not about what you would want in a rental unit, it’s about what your tenant wants. Next, I tell you how to profit from inflation. Debt has a bad name. It shouldn’t. I tell you why you want to consider borrowing massively to profit from inflation.

#170: You can live a rich life and leave a rich legacy at the same time. Guest Rachel Jensen and I discuss how. Timber is a hard asset that physically grows in size, and often grows in value at the same time. Your real estate, gold, or stock share might increase in value - but it doesn’t increase in size at the same time like timber does. Among timber varieties, you’ve probably heard of teak wood but might not know much about it. It has great value due to its durability. Teak’s natural oils make it resistant to fire, pests, and the elements. That’s why teak is so popular for boats, decking, furniture, and more. Teak was even used on The Titanic! The world continues to have more humans and less arable land. Teak products have been used for over 300 years. This makes teak supply vs. demand fundamentals sound for investors. Traditionally, most timber investing was done by ultra-wealthy people, and prestigious Ivy League endowment funds like Harvard and Yale (they both still invest in timber). Today you’ll learn
