Jason Hartman starts off the show talking with Elisabeth Embry about how she makes her 5-year plans, and why it's important. 

Then, Jason continues his conversation with former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul. The two finish up their talk by looking at why the government thinks they're the best option for many aspects in our lives, what would happen if the government got out of the way and prices reverted to normal (rather than the distorted view we're getting today), and why we shouldn't expect to see inflation curbed in the near future (or ever, more likely).

[25:28] Distorted prices and manipulating the currency and tax codes makes people worry about gaining the best tax advantage rather than getting the highest return or providing the most value

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 563, from September 2015.

If you are using your buy and hold properties as short term rentals, through a company like AirBnB,  you may be required to pay an additional 15.3% self employment tax. Although it may seem like a gray area to you, the IRS considers it an active business and will take note of which schedule you are filing. Short term rentals require more of your labor and your time which rarely gets accounted for when calculating costs. Considering all the aspects of short term rentals versus long term buy and hold properties will shield you from future surprises.

Key Takeaways

[2:04] The huge flaw in Airbnb

Brandon Hall Guest Interview:

[15:02] Airbnb investors also have a 15.3% tax on active income

[19:01] It’s more time and labor intensive than a buy and hold property

[21:50] A complicated scenario in setting up short term rentals

[27:47] The IRS may be bringing on the audits

[33:23] 500 material participation is solely for rental properties

[37:53] Long distance self management is possible and maybe easier

[39:35] Segmented depreciation, cost segregation using a sears catalog

If you want an early peak into a respected year end review, then you need to listen to what Professor David Collum has to tell Jason Hartman. The two discuss the dangerous situation that's being created by entities like the Fed and our own government that will lead to disasterous implications. The problem is, nobody knows when the can will be allowed to stop. We've been able to stave it off for years now, but the bill will come due at some point.

Over the past few years, investment properties have become harder and harder to get a really good deal, but there are still solid investments available. You just have to be willing to shift your mindset away from what you could have gotten 5, 10, 15 years ago.

You're being presented with the ability to have someone put $100+ in your bank account for the next 30 years, for the price of a down payment (around $20,000), not even taking into account all the other tax benefits you'll receive.

Jason Hartman and Sara, his investment counselor, talk about what's going on in the investment property market, the importance of a long term plan, and why cash flow can ease concerns of high interest rates.

Key Takeaways:

[3:55] The relative scarcity of real estate is why values continue to go up (and will continue to)

[7:49] The marketplace is the marketplace, and we must adjust our expectations in accordance with reality

[9:31] How real estate investors who have been doing it for 10+ years are adjusting their expectations for properties

"On no other asset class can you get such phenomenal financing, because income property is so secure"

[14:59] Investors are having to invest in multiple markets due to low inventory availability

[19:27] Jason's upcoming 5 year plan contest

[26:07] That interest rates are still this low is baffling to Sara and Jason
