Today's a Flashback Friday and a 10th episode! This one is from 230, published last  December 5, 2011.

Join Jason Hartman as he and author of “Quirk”, Hannah Holmes explore human personality types and how they affect who we become, whether extroverted, conscientious, agreeable, or even neurotic or obnoxious. Is it possible that our hard-wired brain chemistry can even determine our political opinions and economic views?

Research has shown that mice have personalities, and somewhere out there, perhaps in your own basement, is a mouse just like you. Hannah Holmes has led an adventurous life since graduating from the University of Southern Maine. She was an editor at the New York-based Garbage Magazine in the late 1980s, after which she returned to Maine to start a freelance writing career. She was a contributor in a variety of magazines.

In the late 1990s, Hannah was recruited by the Discovery Channel Online for an experiment called live internet reporting. This grand experiment led her to distant and uncomfortable parts of the world, from hunting dinosaurs in Mongolia’s Gobi desert, to the Montserrat Volcano Observatory, where fine volcanic ash ruined her computer and left her hair like a ball of jute twine. She also piloted the Alvin submarine around “black smokers” a mile and a half under the ocean. It was a glorious era until Discovery.com’s plug was pulled. Hannah then went on to author several books, “The Secret Life of Dust,” “Suburban Safari: A Year on the Lawn,” and her recent book, “Quirk,” about the many fascinating personality types.

Hannah’s blog can be found at www.HannahHolmes.net.

Today Jason discusses the rising gap between renting and owning homes, leading to increased rental demand and upward pressure on rents. Despite predictions of slightly lower mortgage rates, the overall trend suggests they will remain elevated. Home prices are forecast to increase steadily by 4% next year, driven by pent-up demand from millennials and Gen Z delaying household formation. He emphasizes the importance of leveraging real estate investments through strategies like "refi till you die," which allows investors to extract wealth tax-free by using borrowed money to fund their lifestyle while retaining asset ownership, mirroring the strategies employed by billionaires like #elonmusk #jeffbezos #markzuckerberg.

Jason discusses his recent trip to Bali and the positive experiences he's had, despite the rainy weather. He contrasts the quality of life in the US with other countries, highlighting the US's past greatness and its current decline. Jason also criticizes the US healthcare system and praises the affordable and effective healthcare he has received in Bali. Jason discusses the importance of political and legal contexts in shaping opportunities and lifestyles. He emphasizes the importance of being open-minded and exploring different life options, particularly with the rise of remote work. He then shares a personal story about a coaching call with a client who had a portfolio with low loan balances and discussed the importance of leveraging properties and the benefits of equity stripping. Jason  concludes by encouraging listeners to attend the upcoming Empowered Investor Live event and to consider the Die with Zero concept for maximizing wealth and quality of life.

Jason then sends us back in time to episode 408. In the first part, he discusses his "refi till you die" strategy for real estate investing. He highlights the $3 trillion single-family rental market, with 80% of properties being free and clear. Jason emphasizes the importance of equity stripping and refinancing to maximize wealth creation through income properties. He compares linear, cyclical, and hybrid real estate markets, recommending linear markets for stable cash flow. Jason also mentions new financing options for investors with multiple properties, offering up to 75% loan-to-value cash-out refinances. He explains why many people rent instead of buy, citing financial immaturity and market urgency as key factors. Lastly, he promotes his Creating Wealth course and upcoming conference for in-depth learning.

Greetings from the Zagreb Franjo Tuđman Airport! Today Jason discusses modern airport design and challenges misconceptions about less prosperous countries. He also  emphasizes the importance of abandoning preconceived notions about market trends, particularly in real estate and stocks. He also promotes his Empowered Investor Pro group and upcoming conference, highlighting the value for members. He then introduces an interview with Russell Gray, warning of Gray's doomer perspective. He encourages listeners to consult with his investment counselors for portfolio optimization and makeovers. He also promotes his AI chatbot, available on jasonhartman.com, which can answer questions about investment strategies and concepts.

Then Jason welcomes Russell Gray. Russell, speaking on monetary policy, highlights the erosion of Main Street prosperity due to historical shifts in fiscal policy, inflation, and centralized power. He discusses pivotal events like the Federal Reserve's creation in 1913, the Gold Confiscation Act, and the Nixon Shock of 1971, which led to significant currency devaluation and economic inequality. Gray advocates for decentralized solutions, such as investing in tangible assets like real estate and gold, fostering Main Street capitalism, and educating the next generation. He warns against over-reliance on centralized systems and emphasizes personal responsibility, financial independence, and education reform to combat the growing power imbalance.
