55: The Great Housing Shortage and the Rent vs. Buy Dilemma | Is Owning a Home Still a Good Investment in Today’s Market? Richard Ross Part 2
Financial Freedom Report
Jason and Richard of Quinn Residences finish up their conversation about the current state of the housing market, which is facing a significant shortage, particularly for affordable homes. Rising home prices, interest rates, and maintenance costs have made homeownership more expensive than renting. Builders are focusing on constructing more expensive houses, further contributing to the shortage. While renting offers lower monthly costs, it lacks the potential investment benefits of homeownership. Additionally, the rental market is tight, and rent prices have been increasing. Manufactured...

FFR 47 - Understanding Inflation
Financial Freedom Report
The first key to understanding inflation is to recognize the difference between real and nominal. If you think about a physical $100 bill, it is easy to understand that 50 years ago, it was still a $100 bill. We called it the same thing, it looked (mostly) the same when you held it in your hands. But it was the same in a nominal way—in name only. ...

FFR 46 - Buy Gold, Flip Houses – Or Build Wealth With Real Estate
Financial Freedom Report
Gold prices are on the upswing again after months of slumping, and the precious metals market is once again teasing investors with the promise of big gains – fast. But the nature of that kind of investing means that while investors may make money, it’s a bit of instant gratification that has little to offer for the long term. And that’s what makes real estate the investing gift that keeps on giving – as long as you don’t treat it like gold. ...
info_outlineJason Hartman gets nervous when homes in his neighborhood start making dramatic leaps in price. Why, you ask? It’s because equity makes him nervous. Should a natural disaster come along, the homeowner is in trouble. It’s a lot of responsibility.
If you’ve got an employee working for you and he or she is lazy, you’ll likely fire them. Treat your money the same way—get rid of the lazy money, or put it to work.
Consider refinancing and buy more rental properties with the money you make. Refi additional loans too. Get a fixed rate mortgage. Don’t get scared or worried if you have your property evaluated and notice that it fluctuates in value—the cost of improvement and the cost of land both go up. But the most significant risk is in areas of high land value, where dramatic appreciation can happen. There is high risk in high land value.
As an investor, you simply avoid markets where this is the case. Think of it this way—Jason purchased a home in Georgia for $159,000 and the insurance company said that they’re insure the house for $135,000. The improvement is the only thing insured because the land will always be there. Cost of house minus insurance equals only $24,000—which is the value of the land.
If the land goes down in value, even by half, only $12,000 is lost. So when you’re choosing your investment markets, look at the cost of land in this way.
We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again—the world is growing and all of these people are going to need a place to live. And we’re making more people but we’re certainly not getting any more land. Find areas with cheap land now and build houses. It’s the best job security you’ll ever have.
