2282: Extremely Low Housing Mortgage Delinquencies, Reducing RIsk and Benefitting from Inflation 03/10/2025

2282: Extremely Low Housing Mortgage Delinquencies, Reducing RIsk and Benefitting from Inflation Jason discusses the current state of the foreclosure market, and the importance of income property as a historically proven investment during times of economic uncertainty. He also presented a chart showing the percentage of loan balances that are 90 days or more delinquent by different loan types and discussed the evolution of automobiles and the current state of auto loans, mortgages, and student loans. Jason concluded by predicting a somewhat stagflationary real estate market and announced an upcoming masterclass and Empowered Investor Live event.

Jason then talks about leveraging debt, particularly in real estate, to capitalize on inflation. Using borrowed money reduces risk and increases returns, especially when investing in appreciating assets. Jason highlights the "Great Inflation Payoff," where inflation effectively reduces loan balances over time. For example, a $950,000 loan, with 4% inflation, decreases to $912,000 in a year. He emphasizes borrowing over lending, as inflation erodes the value of future debt repayments. Tenant-financed debt, where renters cover mortgage payments, maximizes these benefits. #inflation #realestate #investing #leverage #debt #financialfreedom #wealthbuilding #passiveincome #financialplanning #mortgage #ROI Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:29 Welcome to Medillin, Colombia 2:28 A very interesting theory about the FED and the economy 4:51 US Housing foreclosures by Quarter and the housing market 8:35 Percent of loan balances 90+ days delinquent, by loan type 9:28 CAAS- Cars As A Service 12:15 Mortgages, HELOC and student loans 14:38 Sponsor: JasonHartman.com/Connected 15:53 Get your tickets to https://empoweredinvestorlive.com/ Jason on Reducing Risk and Leveraging Debt 16:36 Introduction to Leverage and Inflation 19:09 The Great Inflation Payoff and Tenant-Backed Debt and Real Estate Investing 27:53 Constructive Debt vs. Destructive Debt, RV Ratio and Market Dynamics 30:29 Credit as an Asset, Three Stages of Debt Strategy 33:59 ROI, Return on Inflation and the Twofold Benefits of Inflation in Real Estate Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: /episode/index/show/creatingwealthpodcast/id/35606380

2278 FBF: Monetary Policy, Fiscal Policy and Governmental Irresponsibility with Dr. Kirk Elliott (Part 2) 02/28/2025

2278 FBF: Monetary Policy, Fiscal Policy and Governmental Irresponsibility with Dr. Kirk Elliott (Part 2) This Flashback Friday is from episode 262, published last June 9, 2012. Countries around the globe are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, with our own country no exception. Jason Hartman interviews Dr. Kirk Elliot, Ph.D., investment adviser with ICA, on monetary and fiscal policy and the irresponsibility of governments around the world. Using Greece as an example, Dr. Elliott states that when governments run out of money, they start doing crazy things. The one fundamental issue in Greece is public debt, over which they lost their autonomy and are now under the rules of the EU. Italy, Iceland, Portugal, France and others are on the verge of bankruptcy and due to that, the EU has been unable to bail out Greece. Across the pond in the U.S., we have lost our credit rating and are losing the reserve currency status with a lack of interest in our Treasury bills and notes. The definition of inflation is an increase in the money supply, and price increases are a symptom of inflation. As more money is printed, it loses value and nobody wants it, which is sending the U.S. down the same tube as other countries in economic crisis. People around the world have lost faith in the U.S. dollar and the country’s ability to repay its debt. Dr. Elliott says when interest rates go up, it will open a whole new can of worms with the bond market, which will come crashing down hard on retirees and insurance companies. But it’s not all doom and gloom. There are counter-cyclical investment strategies that people should take advantage of that are attached to physical assets, such as precious metals and real estate investments (commodities with universal need.) Kirk Elliott has been an investment adviser with ICA in Durango, Colorado since January of 2002 and has been working in the financial services industry since 1994. Dr. Elliott is passionate about educating and equipping his clients with the information they need to safeguard their hard-earned assets. Dr. Elliott earned his Ph.D. in Public Policy and Administration from Walden University. His dissertation is entitled, “An Empirical Identification of an Appropriate Inflation Definition and an Inflation Targeting Monetary Policy.” Dr. Elliott also earned a Master of Arts in International Studies from the University of Denver, and a B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Colorado.

2272 FBF: Business Cycles with Bernie Baumohl Author of ‘The Secrets of Economic Indicators: Hidden Clues to Future Economic Trends’ 02/14/2025

2272 FBF: Business Cycles with Bernie Baumohl Author of ‘The Secrets of Economic Indicators: Hidden Clues to Future Economic Trends’ Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 258, published last May 7, 2012. We are all confused about economic indicators and it’s critical that we understand the real figures, the direction of the economy, interest rates and their consequences, and much more. On this episode, Jason Hartman interviews Bernie Baumohl, author of Secrets of Economic Indicators, in regard to the numerous economic indicators and what is most useful. Bernie explains what a “business cycle” is and what happens during the cycle, how it comes full circle over time. Bernie gives examples of stress points in the business cycle. People make mistakes, such as buying more inventory than they need or the economy can’t handle the demand of the people. More recently, we have seen longer periods of economic growth, but at a closer look, the mistakes that caused the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression are apparent. It was a “cauldron of fraud and wrecklessness,” says Bernie. Jason and Bernie touch on the subject of the Federal Reserve and the Gold Standard, citing what has been happening in Greece as an example of the limitations of a currency that is fixed and unmovable. Bernie feels that a country in economic trouble needs to have the flexibility to lower interest rates. They also discuss market sensitivity, the index, and the source of the leading market indicators.

2270: Deconstructing the Vaccine Myth: Historical Data Revealed on Vaccine Effectiveness with Roman Bystrianyk 02/10/2025

2270: Deconstructing the Vaccine Myth: Historical Data Revealed on Vaccine Effectiveness with Roman Bystrianyk Roman and Jason discuss the decline in measles mortality rates in the US which has fallen by 98% before the first measles vaccine was introduced in 1963. Roman shares data from US vital statistics data and a chart showing the decline and mortality rate for measles in the United States. They also discuss similar data from England, where measles and other health problems were a big killers in the early 20th century, but by the time the vaccines came out, there was almost a 100% decline in mortality. Roman explains that the mortality decline was not influenced by the vaccine at all, as it was due to poor living conditions and the introduction of clean water, sanitation, hygiene, improved nutrition, and a revolution in science.

2269 FBF: Property Acquisition Tips with Michael LeBeouf Author of ‘The Greatest Management Principle of the World’ 02/07/2025

2269 FBF: Property Acquisition Tips with Michael LeBeouf Author of ‘The Greatest Management Principle of the World’ This Flashback Friday is from episode 248, published last March 14, 2012. Join Jason Hartman as he opens with some thoughts on buying far below construction or replacement costs sharing an email from Allstate Insurance, then a discussion of an Orange County Register article citing Marcus & Millichap's 2012 National Apartment Report. You'll hear Michael LeBeouf, author of the NY Times best-selling book, "The Greatest Management Principle in the World", where he discusses human behavior and how "What Gets Rewarded, Gets Repeated." In the news: Underwater borrowers eligible for settlement write-downs. A calculation by a Brookings Institution economist narrowed down a pool of underwater homeowners to 500,000 who could qualify for principal reduction from the $25 billion mortgage settlement. Using the parameters of the settlement, Ted Gayer found just 5% of the nation's 11.1 million underwater borrowers could get the principal reduced on their mortgage, first reported by The Washington Post. About $10 billion of the settlement, in the form of credits, will go toward principal write-downs made by the five banks. Only homeowners delinquent on their mortgages are eligible. Gayer eliminated others according to underlying requirements, including Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac loans and homes not owner-occupied. It's a rough calculation, Gayer warned, and he made some assumptions in the process. He eliminated any loans not held on the banks' balance sheets, as well as any with a second loan. Mortgage bondholders may not take kindly to principal write-downs, he said.

2266 FBF: Improve Your Negotiating Skills with Stuart Diamond Author of ‘Getting More: How to Negotiate to Achieve Your Goals’ 01/31/2025

2266 FBF: Improve Your Negotiating Skills with Stuart Diamond Author of ‘Getting More: How to Negotiate to Achieve Your Goals’ This Flashback Friday is from episode 247, published last March 8, 2012. Whether you’re trying to get a raise at your job, solve a relationship problem, or deal with a stubborn child, negotiating is a daily part of our lives, and every human interaction is affected by emotion and logic or rationalization. Jason Hartman interviews Stuart Diamond, the author of "Getting More: How to Negotiate to Achieve Your Goals in the Real World" on improving negotiating skills and interactions with others in order to “get more.” Stuart stresses the importance of making the human connection and finding the pictures in people’s heads, knowing them better in order to better meet their needs, which gives a person a more competitive edge and adds tremendous wealth to any deal. Emotions play a huge part in all interactions. “Emotions destroy negotiations because they distract people from their goals,” says Stuart. When people get emotional, they stop listening, and it becomes a priority to find out a person’s emotional temperature before proceeding on any deal. Stuart talks about key points in how people should treat one another, stating how people today have a lack of trust in one another and have a tendency to demonize one another rather than using simple solutions to solve conflicts. “Fighting is the last choice; not the first choice,” explains Stuart. Stuart Diamond has taught and advised on negotiation and cultural diversity to corporate and government leaders in more than 40 countries, including in Eastern Europe, former Soviet Republics, China, Latin America, the Middle East, Canada, South Africa and the United States. He holds an M.B.A. with honors from Wharton Business School, ranked #1 globally by The Financial Times where he is currently a professor from practice. For more than 90% of the semesters over the past 15 years his negotiation course has been the most popular in the school based on the course auction, and he has won multiple teaching awards. He has taught negotiation at Harvard Law School, from which he holds a law degree and is a former Associate Director of the Harvard Negotiation Project. He has directed a negotiation consulting firm in Cambridge, MA.

2265: The Hartman Risk Evaluator: Smart Investing in Packaged Commodities and Why Real Estate is the Best Hedge Against Inflation 01/29/2025

2265: The Hartman Risk Evaluator: Smart Investing in Packaged Commodities and Why Real Estate is the Best Hedge Against Inflation Jason invites you all to Empowered Investor LIVE this coming April for a great time of learning and fun! Get early bird rates today! Given the recent tragedies in Los Angeles, North Carolina, Florida and others, and thus the tremendous need to build new houses across the country, Jason wanted to discusses the Hartman Risk Evaluator and the importance of packaged commodities investing for real estate investors. The Hartman Risk Evaluator highlights the benefits of investing in real estate as a means of gaining exposure to commodities, which have intrinsic value. Unlike fiat currencies that depreciate over time, commodities such as lumber, drywall, concrete, steel, and petroleum-based products are essential and globally traded. Rather than investing directly in raw commodities, real estate investors can leverage fixed-rate financing, tax benefits, and appreciation by purchasing "packaged commodities" in the form of homes and apartments. Rising costs of construction materials, driven by supply chain issues and inflation, further support real estate as a strong hedge against currency devaluation. The Hartman Risk Evaluator helps investors minimize downside risk by focusing on markets where the land-to-improvement ratio is lower, meaning more of the investment is in tangible commodities rather than volatile land values. Linear markets, characterized by stable appreciation and landlord-friendly laws, offer the best long-term returns, as opposed to risky cyclical markets with boom-and-bust cycles. Ultimately, investing in packaged commodities via real estate provides a safeguard against inflation while capitalizing on the global demand for essential building materials. #RealEstateInvesting #CommoditiesInvesting #RiskManagement #HartmanRiskEvaluator #InflationHedge #LinearMarkets #CyclicalMarkets #HybridMarkets #InvestmentStrategy #MarketAnalysis #FinancialEducation #AssetDiversification #PropertyInvestment #FinancialLiteracy Key Takeaways: 1:36 and the race to construction materials and labor Risk Evaluator and packaged commodities investing 4:00 Producer prices up in Feb 12:52 Baselane.com/Jason 16:03 PPI: softwood lumber and other materials 19:20 3 types of markets and LTI ratio Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: /episode/index/show/creatingwealthpodcast/id/35071570

2263 FBF: American Demography from Baby Boomers to Generation Y with Ken Gronbach Author of ‘Age Curve’ This Flashback Friday is from episode 249 published last March 20, 2012. Many demographic changes are taking place, with the Baby Boomers, a large generation, retiring, and Generation Y, a larger generation than the Baby Boomers, consuming at record levels. Join Jason Hartman and demographer, Ken Gronbach, as they discuss this upcoming “storm.” Ken describes Generation Y as an exciting generation, where the United States is the only country with this large of a group at the present time, and that it is very important that businesses recognize and anticipate their markets as Generation Y grows up. Generation X is more of a mystery generation because of its smaller size, which makes it less of a valuable market. Ken believes that the United States’ best days are ahead as people bail out of the European Union. He also believes that China’s economic future is bleak due to artificial tampering with the population, with demographic numbers showing China in trouble economically within ten years, struggling to feed themselves within 15 years. Ken shows how the housing market is being held hostage by big bank foreclosures and why this log jam will soon correct and precipitate a restoration of the United States economy. Ken also talks about how manufacturing will return to the United States with a vengeance because the United States is the only industrialized nation with a huge young highly skilled workforce.

2257 FBF: The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression’ with Amity Shales NY Times Bestselling Author 01/10/2025

2257 FBF: The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression’ with Amity Shales NY Times Bestselling Author This Flashback Friday is from episode 245, published last Feb 26, 2012. Jason interviews author, Amity Shlaes, about her book, “The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression.” Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke of the forgotten man as the man at the bottom of the economic pyramid, the poor man, the homeless man. Miss Shlaes explains that there is another forgotten man, the taxpayer, based on an algebraic description by William Graham Sumner. Jason and Miss Shlaes explore the concept that the Great Depression was man-made, that the Federal government suppressed the economy and the markets, which slowed recovery. A zombie-like economy has ensued in America, very similar to what happened with Japan’s economic downfall, which is still recovering two decades later. Miss Shlaes also shares how the collective or community aspect, particularly farms, encouraged and funded by the government, did not work because of bad stewardship – nobody cared about anything because nobody owned anything. In order for people to care and succeed, they must be allowed to own property, own businesses, and own their homes. Amity Shlaes and Jason move on to discuss “The Greedy Hand,” as it refers to taxation. As Miss Shlaes researched the history of The Greedy Hand, she found that Americans initially resisted tax withholding, that it was not just accepted. Over time, taxation has become extremely complex, and the best solution would be to simplify it again. Miss Shlaes also shares her predictions on inflation for 2012. She encourages people to read, to educate themselves and their children. Amity Shlaes is a syndicated columnist for Bloomberg and a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. In addition to writing on political economy, she writes on taxes. She is a contributor to Marketplace, the public radio show. She has appeared on numerous radio and television shows over the years. Miss Shlaes was formerly a columnist for the Financial Times and, before that a member of the editorial board of the Wall Street Journal, specializing in economics. In the early 1990s she served as the Journal's features, or "op ed" editor. Prior to that, she followed the collapse of communism for the Wall Street Journal/Europe. Over the years she has published in the National Review, the New Republic, Foreign Affairs (on the German economy), the American Spectator, the Suddeutsche Zeitung and Die Zeit. In 2002, she contributed an article on the US tax code to the thirtieth anniversary anthology of Tax Notes, the scholarly journal. Miss Shlaes has twice been a finalist for the Loeb Prize in commentary, her field's best known prize. In 2002, she was co-winner of the Frederic Bastiat Prize, an international prize for writing on political economy. In 2003, she spent several months at the American Academy in Berlin as the JP Morgan Fellow for finance and economy.

2256: Rise of Corporate Landlords: How to Compete and Thrive in the Evolving Rental Market, Basic Investor Mistakes to Avoid 01/08/2025

2256: Rise of Corporate Landlords: How to Compete and Thrive in the Evolving Rental Market, Basic Investor Mistakes to Avoid Jason discusses the rise of institutional investors in the single-family rental market. While these large corporations are increasing their market share, their presence can benefit smaller investors by driving up rental rates.He also highlights the importance of leveraging properties, refinancing strategically (the "refi till you die" strategy), and optimizing rental income through regular rent increases to maximize returns. He also emphasizes the historical strength of real estate as an investment asset class and encourages investors to learn from past successes and avoid common pitfalls. Jason then talks about some of the mistakes property income investors make. Investing in income property can be highly lucrative, but many investors make common mistakes that hinder their success. Jason, a seasoned real estate investor, outlines some key pitfalls to avoid. These include analysis paralysis, over-magnifying minor issues, neglecting proper education, and being too greedy with rent prices. He emphasizes the importance of taking action, maintaining perspective on the big picture, and seeking the right kind of education that teaches success strategies. He advises investors to balance listening to property managers with their own judgment and to work with objective investment counselors. By avoiding these mistakes and following sound advice from experienced professionals, investors can maximize their returns and build long-term wealth through income property investments. Hartman's insights, based on decades of personal experience and success, offer valuable guidance for both novice and experienced real estate investors looking to optimize their portfolios. #RealEstateInvesting #RentalProperties #LandlordLife #InvestmentStrategies #RefiTillYouDie #RealEstateMarket #InstitutionalInvestors #RentalIncome #FinancialFreedom #PassiveIncome #PropertyManagement #RealEstateTips #Investing101 #FinancialGrowth #RealEstatePodcast #JasonHartman #WealthBuilding #FinancialEducation #LongTermInvesting #SmartMoney #RealEstateMarketTrends #PropertyInvesting #RentalMarket #RealEstateTips #LandlordTips #InvestWisely Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:38 Greetings from Japan 7:43 Large corporate buyer share of purchase market 11:25 Overall investor share of purchase market 14:21 John Burns: Market shares of US homes purchases by landlords with 1,000+ Properties (Quarterly) Some pitfalls to avoid when investing in income property 16:48 Introduction 18:50 Self-sabotage and the Paralysis of Analysis 23:52 It's all small stuff: Over-magnifying the bad and minimizing the good 29:53 Get educated 31:56 Being too greedy 33:37 Listen to your investment counselor 34:23 Don't listen to your property manager- too much 35:30 Have an investment counselor Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: /episode/index/show/creatingwealthpodcast/id/34773740

2255: The World Bank's Sinister Plot Exposed and Good Deals vs. Bad Deals in a Changing Housing Market in 2025 01/06/2025

2255: The World Bank's Sinister Plot Exposed and Good Deals vs. Bad Deals in a Changing Housing Market in 2025 Jason discusses real estate investing and critiques the World Bank. He argues that the U.S. dollar's status as the world's reserve currency and the World Bank's lending practices benefit wealthy countries at the expense of poorer nations. He emphasizes the importance of debt coverage ratios for real estate investors and highlights the benefits of attending his "Empowered Investor Live" conference. He also includes a comparison of two investment properties, one in Denver and one in Nashville, illustrating the importance of thorough financial analysis. Get a FREE Property Tracker account today! Then Jason talks to his driver Sam on the way to the Airport going to Vietnam as they discuss their visit to Cambodia, including seeing Angkor Wat and other temples. Sam talks about the local economy, noting that rural farmers struggle to make a living, leading many to move to cities for jobs in tourism, banking, and factories. The education system offers free public schooling through university. Government jobs are desirable due to good pensions. Inflation is not a major concern, except for food prices. Sam also touches on the country's troubled history with the Khmer Rouge and the destruction of temples.
