Your home is a liability, not an asset. That’s according to Robert Kiyosaki. This is because your home takes money out of your pocket every month. An asset puts money into your pocket.  Today’s guest, author and economist Daniel Amerman, has a different perspective.  He states that forces like inflation and a mortgage (leverage) make your primary residence a strong investment vehicle. Daniel’s research shows that historically, homeowners nearly double their equity in three years, triple it in seven years, and quadruple it in ten years (80% LTV loan). We discuss whether home price increases are derived from appreciation or inflation. First, I remind you why financially-free beats debt-free. Convert equity to cash flow. Extra mortgage principal paydown does the opposite - it converts cash flow to equity. Classically, on a balance sheet, your home is an asset. Remember that a homeowner’s return is not generated from equity. It is generated from the local housing market. Hear my rant about how carpet beats hardwo

Learn how to bring as little money as possible to the property closing table.  Ridge Lending Group President Caeli Ridge tells us how to do this. She also predicts the future interest rate direction. Mortgage interest rates hit all-time lows three months ago. Freddie Mac has tracked rates since 1971. The 30-year fixed rate mortgage debuted in America in 1948. It’s an incredible tool that few, if any, other world nations have. Before this, it took a 50% down payment and refinancing every 3-5 years. Mortgage rates have been falling for 700 years! From the year 1311, we look at interest rate history in the French Crown, Spanish Crown, Italian merchants in Milan, Genoa. The latest marker of today’s low housing supply is the fact that there are currently more real estate agents than available homes. Is rush hour traffic a thing of the past? We explore this. Caeli Ridge helps us understand the ominous new 7% Fannie Mae funding limit on single-family mortgages on second homes and investment properties. Result = high

The Fed is about to unleash a tidal wave of liquidity that you probably don’t know about. I was recently at my favorite Mexican takeout restaurant. It was the first time they began asking for tips. This is inflation. It is likely not measured in CPI or Core PCE. Richard Duncan from MacroWatch joins us to discuss how the coming monetary tsunami will stoke asset prices.  This can continue the “price runup party” in real estate, stocks, crypto, and other assets. Key learning: The Fed changes inflation policy when they see wage price growth, not commodity price growth. Inflation won’t be high enough to cause interest rates to rise anytime soon. We know that the Fed currently creates $120B per month. What few know about is the new, simultaneous $900B that the Fed is releasing from their Treasury General Account by the end of June.  More currency + monetary velocity = inflation? No. Richard says there’s more to it, like credit expansion. The newly passed $1.9T American Rescue Plan, plus a new Biden-proposed multi-t

With shrinking national housing supply amidst surging demand, some investors cannot find sufficient inventory. People are moving to places like: Texas, Tennessee, and Florida. Suburban properties have higher appeal with today’s work-at-home trends. New construction properties in infill areas have advantages: an established area, neighbors with equity.  Learn about a system to help keep your property taxes discounted. With all this in mind, learn about what capitalizes on all of these trends - and there’s available inventory. Purchase prices are from the $140Ks & up - new construction - SFHs up to fourplexes and larger. Who knows how long this will last? Get started at: GetRichEducation.com/Texas.

Will a housing price crash occur when homes can be foreclosed upon again? Sean O’Toole of PropertyRadar.com and I compare 2007’s housing crash with 2021’s health crisis-related recession. “Home prices never go down.” That’s what many people said in 2005! Wrong. Learn the housing differences between the last recession and the current one: lending standards, housing supply, regulatory change, construction labor force, construction supply disruptions, household formation. Sean tells why we will not have a big dump of housing supply on this market anytime soon.   There will still be some delinquent homeowners after the forbearance period ends. The Biden Administration plans to work with borrowers that have federally-backed mortgage companies and provide them with repayment plans. Prediction from Sean: mortgage rates will dip below 2%.  Resources mentioned: PropertyRadar.com Show Notes: www.GetRichEducation.com/334 Mortgage Loans: RidgeLendingGroup.com New Construction Turnkey Property: CashFlowAndGrowth.com Ali B

If you hold a savings account, you’re a lender. You lent money to the bank and they pay you under 1%. You can lend for real estate, get a 6-12% cash yield with low hassle, and hold real estate as collateral. This is some of the most passive, hassle-free income in all of real estate. Learn more at: www.getricheducation.com/lending Typically, a real estate company seeks to: buy a distressed home for $50K, pay another $20K to rehab it, then sell it for a profit. That $70K is what they seek private lenders for. This means that the real estate company can provide the distressed seller with a quick, all-cash closing. (Remember, these properties can’t be financed with banks.) Loan duration is often twelve months. Dani Lynn Robison of Springboro, Ohio-based Freedom Real Estate Group tells us how Private Money Lending works. Everyday investors like you can fund this with cash, retirement accounts and HELOCs.

Today’s guest reveals how he gets $10,755 of monthly cash flow with four SFHs. They’re long-term rental tenants. Get our free newsletter here: www.getricheducation.com/letter I tell you why a man with $20 million of debt is a financial winner, making analogies to Brett Favre and Cy Young. Ryan Chaw of Sacramento, CA joins us. A full-time pharmacist, he’s age 29, on track to retire from real estate income by age 31. Unusually, he invests in California single-family homes (SFHs). It’s not an area known for cash flow.  He rents them to carefully-screened college students. He self-manages, but hasn’t visited his properties in over a year. In areas like Stockton, CA, he gets $3,000 rent from a $300K SFH. Ryan uses his “PRIME” Method: Placement of ads, Review applicants’ social media, Identify tenant type, Measure responsiveness, and Ensure proof of income.   He has 17 tenants in four SFHs.  Ryan gets money for down payments with his W-2 job. He also uses a HELOC to reset his leverage and create arbitrage. He trave

Hear a mock negotiation between Chris Voss & I for a fourplex building today! The former lead international hostage negotiator for the FBI, Chris is now America’s top negotiation coach. In a negotiation: Who goes first? Does “anchoring” work? In real estate, terms are often more important than price. “Never be so sure of what you want that you wouldn’t take something better.” -Chris Voss, today's show He does not use the term “win-win”. It’s a giveaway that someone is trying to pick your pocket. The “other side” always has hidden cards that could benefit you. Be curious. A positive mind frame makes you 31% smarter. At times, it helps to address “fairness” at the beginning of a negotiation. Let the word “no” out softly. If there’s an elephant in the room, address it. Chris uses the “mirroring” technique on me. He makes me think that conceding was own idea! Amazing. He has free negotiation resources for you. For his newsletter, text blackswanmethod to 33777.

After your first 10 rental properties, what comes next? Buying more than 10 financed properties of 1-4 units often incurs an interest rate about 2% higher. Apartment buildings of 5+ units is an option. You can become a real estate syndicator. It is sophisticated. This means you identify a big real estate complex and attract other investors’ money to the deal.  Syndications often SEC-regulated. To attract investors, you must also build your brand. You can be a private money lender with a stable 10% cash-on-cash return. Real estate is your collateral. See: www.getricheducation.com/lending With agricultural real estate, the trees are the tenants. They don’t vacate the property and they’re low maintenance. The asset literally grows; land is titled to you. See: www.getricheducation.com/teak    “Family offices” manage wealth for affluent families and individuals. They might cost $1M per year, meaning you’d often need assets of $100M+. Direct real estate investors “feel the bumps”. I recently had a truck accident-da

Joe Biden’s economic plan for real estate investors is detailed. Expect: higher income tax, extended eviction & foreclosure moratoriums, $15 minimum wage, $15K first-time homebuyer tax credit, more stimulus checks. Can landlords still evict tenants for non-payment of rent? Yes. I explain how.   With all this money printing, I expect inflation to stay low due to low velocity. Ken McElroy joins me again today. He’s the Rich Dad real estate advisor. Migration patterns per U-Haul favor these top 5 states: TN, TX, FL, OH, AZ. #1 for out-migration last year was CA. 72% of people move within the same state, per Ken. Today’s tenant trends: Larger units, security gates, pets, outdoor lighting, small yards, remote rent collection. Proximity to central business districts is less important. Pets attract seniors. Ken has increased income by embracing pets, and reduced expenses by requiring that tenants have Renters Insurance.

My housing prediction for the next few years is revealed at the beginning of the show. Learn why higher interest rates mean less housing supply.  Learn how to buy new construction income properties as inexpensively as $169K at: www.getricheducation.com/southeast Last year: Real estate was up 11%, mortgage rates fell from 3.72% down to 2.67%, inflation fell from 2.5% to 1.4%, S&P 500 up 16%, dollar weakened, bitcoin surged 400%+, gold & silver had their best years since 2010, oil down 21%.  “Build-To-Rent” (B2R) means that properties are constructed with tenant-occupants, not owner-occupants.  Durable finishes are used, like cement hardie board, vinyl plank flooring, and granite countertops. B2R single-family homes as low as $169K (new construction). Duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes are also offered in Florida and Georgia at: www.getricheducation.com/southeast Tenants in these B2R properties often have incomes of $100K+. Today’s renters want a yard, even if it’s small. They don’t want a fireplace. W

Has “debt-free” now become a poverty marker? Debt is good when: 1) The interest rate is lower than inflation, and 2) When tenants pay your debt for you. Get our free “Don’t Quit Your Daydream” Letter at: www.getricheducation.com/letter Home equity is: unsafe, illiquid, and its rate of return is always zero. If you pay an extra $100 toward your mortgage principal, you just converted your cash flow to equity. That’s the opposite of financial freedom. Learn myriad reasons for removing equity from property: a litigious society, natural disasters, job loss, and more. Paying down your low interest rate debt won’t create wealth. But using debt to create residual income streams can. More equity = more risk. Why would you even want to be debt-free?

Learn mistakes to avoid and how to buy a distressed property at a discount at a foreclosure auction.
