Creating Wealth Real Estate Investing with Jason Hartman

Jason Hartman starts today's episode from Germany, on his way back to the land of capitalism, and he couldn't be happier. After nearly a month in Europe seeing the effects of socialism, Jason's ready to get back to the land where people are more motivated and innovation is more apparent. When governments get involved in picking the winners and losers, nothing good comes out of it, and Jason wants to see America avoid the fate of Europe.

Then Jason finishes his interview with Dr. Nima Sanandaji, originally begun in episode 1028. The two wrap up the interview discussing where the ideas for Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand" really came from, how the Nordic society actually ended up being socialist (and why it doesn't work in the places it's being tried now), and the dangers of government growth.

Key Takeaways:

[2:48] Things in Europe are smaller and not as good of quality. We shouldn't become more like Europe, Europe should become more like the USA

[5:54] The government needs to get out of the business of picking winners and losers

Dr Nima Sanandaji Interview:

[8:20] Adam Smith's "Invisible hand" had been described in China and the Middle East thousands of years earlier

[11:36] Capitalism: the most successful "religion" of all time?

[14:56] The poor immigrants who left the Nordics for America have descendants that are much better off than those who stayed

[18:55] Governments can't shrink down. Once they bloat they collapse under their own weight

[21:57] The Western world needs to learn from history and go back to free market economic policies with minimal government

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 653, originally published in March 2016.

Jason's mom will be attending the upcoming Venture Alliance Mastermind trip to Jekyll Island. She decided to prepare herself by reading the updated version of The Creature from Jekyll Island again. She and Jason review sections of the book and discuss the insanity which is the Federal Reserve and how the entity came to be. You are invited to join Jason and his mother on the Jekyll Island trip as a Venture Alliance member or as a guest. If you attend you will experience a piece of American financial history and possibly have your coffee disturbed by a famous hotel ghost.

Key Takeaways:

[3:47] Jason's mother's assessment of the book "The Creature From Jekyll Island" and the history of the Federal Reserve.

[12:27] The ghosts of the Jekyll Island hotel do more than drink the guests coffee, they pick pockets too.

[18:28] Past podcasts guests, Chris Martenson and Bill Bonner agree, the Federal Reserve system is convoluted.

[22:38] We all easily pay 60% or more of our income to some sort of tax.

[32:36] Listeners must see the 99 Homes, The Big Short and Life and Debt documentaries.

[34:11] The government can tax people through taxes or inflation, which is the hidden tax.

[40:06] When you invest in income property you align yourself with the Federal Reserve.

Venture Alliance Mastermind

Jason Hartman talks with Patrick Parry, Orange County realtor & former investment counselor, about what signs Pat is seeing in the Orange County market that give him pause when it comes to the housing market. Days on market have escalated (some rather significantly) in every price bracket, and inventory continues to increase.

The two also discuss commercial real estate, and how it's a totally different game (with significantly less room for error) than residential real estate.

Key Takeaways:

[5:17] Signs the housing market is cooling?

[7:29] Time on market has doubled as inventory increases

[13:42] The difference in the landlord/tenant relationship of residential vs commercial real estate

[18:58] Jason has been flat out lied to by commercial landlords

[21:14] You do not have protections in the commercial real estate world, you better have good lawyers and great research

[23:25] Commercial investors have a very high tolerance for loss due to vacancy

[29:07] The increase in home days on market based on sales price

[33:01] People are always looking in the rear view mirror when it comes to markets, except sellers, they're often banking on the greater fool theory when they price their wares

In today's intro Jason Hartman looks at a few signs in the real estate market that aren't so rosey, as well as adjusting the Brady Bunch house for inflation and seeing how real estate holds up against it (and why linear markets are the better bet for steady appreciation).

Then, in today's 10th episode, Jason talks with Dr. Robert Whaples, Professor and Chair in the Department of Economics, Wake Forest University and co-editor and managing editor of The Independent Review. The two discuss the current Pope's world view and the nature of the Catholic church today.

Key Takeaways:

[2:21] Are there signs of upcoming trouble? There's definitely been a slow down in the higher end markets

[6:11] The Brady Bunch house is for sale, what's it selling for (and compared to what)?

[10:14] Linear markets give you more consistent appreciation than cyclical markets

Dr Robert Whaples Interview:

[14:17] What is Pope Francis' world view?

[18:42] How the economy is connected to the environment in the Pope's world view

[24:21] Do we need environmental regulations and taxes?

[26:08] Have we just exported our pollution?

[31:24] Where does the Catholic church come in on the uneven playing fields of markets and oligarchies
