AJ Osborne Podcast

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne podcast! I’m excited to bring you yet another incredible guest for this episode todaywho shares a wealth of knowledge with us about real estate investing, family, and the process of building the life you’ve always dreamed of. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to full time real estate investor Justin Hannah.

We all dream about our perfect or ideal life - the house we’d like, our family, our income, our freedom. We often get caught up however on the end goal instead of focusing on the process that will get us to that end goal. This makes sense because a lot of what we need to do to reach our end goals makes us uncomfortable. We have to work extra hard, we have to deviate from our normal routines and the normal routines of those around us, we have to leave that job, we have to assume control and responsibility of everything in our working life… the list goes on. These can be huge and daunting, but they’re certainly worth it.

Justin is a perfect example of someone going through this exact process and today he shares that journey with us. We talk about the career lifestyle and the sense of security that a so called 9-5 job gives so many us. We talk about the massive shift in mindset from being in a career based job to becoming an investor. We even cover the very real fact that simply saving money for your future isn’t enough, that investing is the only way to truly secure your financial future. But how exactly do we do this and what exactly do we need to do?

We’re going to cover all of this in today’s episode and we’re going to dive into just how Justin made the shift from 9-5 to being a full time real estate investor. He shares the steps he took, strategies he’s using, and what the entire process has looked like for him and his family.

Thanks for listening everybody,

AJ

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m super excited about today’s episode because we have another amazing guest lined up for you today.

Our guest today is the one and only Steve Goodman. For over 30 years Steve has helped clients navigate the challenges of business succession, the preservation of wealth, charitable planning, and has helped address the various wealth planning needs of high net worth individuals. Apart from that, Steve was also the Vice President of the Trust and Investment Division of JP Morgan Chase. To say Steve has an incredible amount of knowledge and experience… would be a huge understatement.

Steve has an incredible amount of great insights for us today on this podcast from wealth preservation, to estate planning, to taxes, and more. Because let’s be honest here - most of us don’t want to work decades to build the life and opportunities we have, only for our families to lose them after we die.

We talk about the biggest issues he sees people having when it comes to estate planning. We talk policies and administrations and how these factors can vastly affect your planning for the future.

We also dive into what you need to know in regard to taxes, government leadership and spending, and what that all means for us and our assets. It’s critical we understand the inner workings of the systems and powers that be. Lastly, Steve shares with us what we can all do right now today to get our plans for the future squared away or even in motion.

Listen in, be ready to take notes, and be sure to check out Steve Goodman's websites below.

Thanks everybody,

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne podcast!

As you know, I’m a huge fan of real estate investing. We’ve had numerous guests on the podcast that have shared their incredible real estate insights and investing strategies. There’s an investment strategy though that we haven’t talked a whole lot about - stock market investing.

That said, I’m super excited to introduce you to Nick McCullum. Nick is the Director or Growth at a Passiv. Passiv is a rebalancing software solution for people who want to invest passively in the stock market.

Nick started looking into and getting interested in the stock market and investing when he was in college. His interest soon lead to a passion and ultimately a change in his degree. After graduating with a math degree, Nick began working for a research firm in the finance world and he hasn’t looked back since.

In today’s podcast we’re going to look at the difference between active and passive investing, the importance of diversification across assets and asset classes, risks you need to analyze, and the big daddy of them all… fees. Fees can absolutely destroy your returns and take tens of thousands or even millions of dollars out of your pocket.

Thanks a ton for listening everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne podcast!

Well everybody, it’s been quite the crazy year for a lot of us. In one way or another we’ve all been affected by these global, national, and local events that have had massive impacts. There’s been a lot of uncertainty and discourse as a result of these events. Rightly so, we all have questions and concerns and a lot of us are looking for direction.

What does all this mean for the long term? How about the short term? Where do we invest? How do we invest? Where do we put our money? What will be the effects of the stimulus being injected into the economy?

These are just a few of the questions I’ve seen coming up over the past several weeks and today’s podcast is going to cover each and every one of these topics.

Something we absolutely need to do is take a long look at where we’ve been and get a really good idea of where we’re going. We need to look at the past to gauge and plan for the future. There are some major social and economic lessons we need to study and learn from our history books. So many of the same or similar events play themselves out over and over again throughout history, we simply need to take note and do what we can to prepare or even totally avoid our social and economic mistakes of the past.

So much of this is exactly why I’ve chosen to invest in real cashflowing assets. I’m going to talk about the importance of cashflowing assets, the perks, understanding risk, and more. At the end of the day, we shouldn’t be asking where to put our money, we should be asking what kind of a strategy can we build where we can control our money and thus, know exactly where to put it and when.

All said and done, I think we have an amazing future ahead, but it’ll take work and smart decision making done with a heavy emphasis on the long term.

Listen in and let me know what you all think. Shoot me your questions and comments on social media (links below), or submit them on our Self Storage Income website (also linked below).

Welcome back everybody to the podcast, this is your host AJ Osborne!

Welcome back everybody to the Self Storage Income podcast (or the AJ Osborne podcast – whichever one you’re listening to right now). I’m your host AJ Osborne and this episode was so great, we wanted to be sure to release it on BOTH of our podcasts – Self Storage Income and the AJ Osborne podcast (formerly Cashflow 2 Freedom).

Are you a current real estate investor? Looking to become a real estate investor? Then today’s episode is definitely for you. Whether it’s storage, multi-family, single family, homes, manufactured homes, or pretty much any other real estate asset, the strategy and concept we’re going to cover today can apply to you all.

That said, I’m extra excited about today’s episode because we get to dive into this subject that could save you thousands and even millions of dollars in taxes. The subject?

Cost segregation. Not only do we get to learn about this amazing tax strategy and tool, we get to learn about if from the expert himself - Yonah Weiss.

Yonah shares with us his story of how he went from being a teacher, to commercial real estate, to making taxes interesting by becoming a cost segregation expert. Yes… we used the words “taxes” and “interesting” in the same sentence… don’t worry! You’ll totally understand after listening to this episode. Saving thousands or millions of dollars in taxes is certainly an exciting idea.

You might even be wondering at this point - what even is cost segregation? Don’t worry you’re not alone. As a teacher, Yonah discovered that a large number of real estate investors needed to be educated about cost segregation and the power it can hold.

Yonah goes into what exactly cost segregation is, when you can use it, how to use it, and the amazing benefits it has to offer real estate investors.

This is absolutely one of those episodes you’ll want to take notes on. It’s also a subject that you’ll want to learn more about. That said, talk to Yonah himself by reaching out to him at:

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!

Today we have another special guest in the house… and not just any house…

Today we’re talking everything manufactured home investing with the one and only Jonathan Tuttle.

We’re going to kick everything off by diving into how Jonathan got started investing in manufactured homes. Just a few spoilers if you didn’t already know - the economics of manufactured home investing are extremely good. The market is still fragmented (even more than the self storage market). They are not capital intensive like some asset classes. The demand for affordable housing only continues to skyrocket, all the while, supply is shrinking.

We go more in depth on these great economic drivers of manufactured home investing and how you can leverage these aspects to yield great returns.

This may not even be an asset class you’ve considered investing in, but there’s no two ways about it, the real estate trends and investment opportunities are changing dramatically. Are you ready to adapt? Tune in and listen in on how Jonathan got started, where he’s at today, what his plans are for the future, and how you too can realize huge returns from manufactured home investing.

Thanks for listening everybody,

AJ

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!

That’s right, we’re moving to totally re-brand the Cashflow 2 Freedom podcast to simply be the AJ Osborne podcast. There are a lot of reasons for this re-brand and I actually dive into some of the reasons why in the beginning of today’s podcast.

After we cover that, we’re going to get right to it - we’re going to get into entrepreneurial archetypes, the dangers, and what you need to know as a growing entrepreneur. So much of this has to do with the bigger picture of what it actually means to build a thriving company. It doesn’t have so much to do with what people think and feel.

Here are some of the topics we’re going to get into today that will help you shift your focus from where it is, to where it really matters:

What really makes a business successful? What really makes businesses fail? How do you plan for or limit the risk of failure?

I’m also going to share with you guys my very own driving investment principles, what I learned from the 2008 downturn, and how I’ve structured my investments to build both consistent cashflow and stability over time.

I don’t know about you guys, but when it comes to my financial future, my investments, and so forth, I don’t gamble. You shouldn’t either.

Thanks for listening everybody,

AJ
