During turbulent economic times, people can become their own worst enemy.  The uncertainty of the stock market creates massive insecurity about our investment portfolios. These doubts are quite reasonable and it is time to stop trusting Wall Street and start being a direct investor by purchasing hard assets which are not subject to the greed, graft and manipulation of CEOs, investment bankers, fund managers and the government. Prudent investing is a prerequisite to The American Dream of financial freedom. Learn from the mistakes of others rather than “the school of hard knocks.” Tune in to this episode of The Creating Wealth Show as Jason reveals 30 fatal mistakes you must avoid in order to achieve financial independence and investing success.

Today, Jason is interviewed with Easy Pay Direct founder, Brad Weimert.  Jason gives tremendous insights in Real estate investment. It offers significant leverage and tax benefits, especially through depreciation. Depreciating the structure on residential property over 27.5 years or 39 for commercial, allows you to treat it as a loss for tax purposes, even if you're making money. This unique tax advantage is crucial for high-earning individuals. Advanced tax strategies include cost segregation for commercial properties and maximizing deductions. While residential cost segregation benefits have diminished, real estate remains one of the most tax-favored asset classes, providing long-term financial advantages. Always consult with tax professionals for personalized advice. #RealEstateInvesting #TaxStrategies #PropertyTax #IncomeProperty #TaxSavings #CostSegregation #DepreciationBenefits #TaxPlanning #WealthBuilding #FinancialFreedom Key Takeaways: 1:34 Share of income 3:52 Why SFH and why diversify geographically 6:32 Managing different RE asset classes 10:01 Remote investor 13:40 How to vet properties remotely 16:33 Starting the business in Orange country 19:13 $50+ million legal award and holding bad people accountable 26:51 Tax strategies and cost segragation    Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI  Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/  Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com  

2147: Maximizing Real Estate Tax Benefits - Leveraging Real Estate for Maximum Savings

Jason discusses saving on taxes with returning guest CPA Amanda Han. He emphasizes the significance of taxes as life's largest expense and the benefits of real estate investment for tax savings. Jason highlights the record number of mortgage-free homeowners in the US, attributing the slight decline to increased investor interest in leveraging investments. Using an interactive map, he illustrates regional variations in mortgage-free homeownership, noting higher percentages in linear markets. Hartman advises prudent investment in linear and hybrid markets for lower downside risk and better long-term returns. Then Jason and Amanda, a certified public accountant and author, discussed the potential negative impact of the 2024 budget proposal on real estate investors, the benefits of cost segregation for tax reduction, and the advantages of being a real estate professional. They also highlighted the importance of tax planning, the depreciation schedule for breast implants, and the potential for cost segregation. Lastly, they cautioned against tax misconceptions and encouraged listeners to consult with their CPAs for maximum tax benefits. https://www.jasonhartman.com/costseg/ https://www.keystonecpa.com/ #RealEstateTaxSavings #CostSegregationHack #AccelerateDepreciation #RentalPropertyTaxTip #TaxProTip #RealEstateInvesting #TaxSavings #MortgageFree #LinearMarkets #InvestmentStrategy #FinancialAdvice #WealthBuilding #PropertyOwnership #MarketAnalysis #EconomicInsights #AssetAllocation #SmartInvesting   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:29 Life's greatest expense 2:17 Free and clear houses 3:18 Economic cushion 5:50 Mortgage-free owners; interactive map Amanda Han interview 11:14 Welcome Amanda Han 11:57 Taxes- the silent wealth killer 14:52 Cost segregation and other tax write offs 20:17 Who can and should use it 24:19 A few misconceptions of cost seg 26:09 Being a RE professional 29:47 Going to ZERO tax 31:43 More benefits  37:25 Take time to plan    Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI  Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/  Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com  

2146: Tax Talk: Understanding Cost Segregation and Other Key Strategies for Real Estate Investors with CPA Amanda Han

This Flashback Friday is from episode 1028 published last July 18, 2018. Jason Hartman starts today's episode from Naples, discussing how, despite what you may think, the demise of America is greatly overstated when you start asking the question "Compared to what?". He also brings a morsel of hope to real estate investors, as housing inventory is showing signs of increasing and home owner equity is at an all time high (but fewer owners than ever are stripping that equity). Then, in part 1 of the interview, Jason talks with Dr. Nima Sanandaji, author of the new book The Birthplace of Capitalism - The Middle East, about how capitalism originally began in what is now Iran and Syria, and how the golden age of the Middle East was during the times of capitalism. Key Takeaways: 2:10 Think the US is in decline? Well, compared to what? Because Europe isn't doing that great either 8:05 Keep everything in perspective when you think your problems are huge 13:37 Inventory could increase a bit in the near future 16:40 Home owners have an estimated $5.8 trillion in accessible home equity, but fewer are taking cash than in previous eras Dr Nima Sanandaji Interview: 19:53 Birthplace of capitalism (the original form) was in what is now Iraq and Syria 23:13 The golden ages of human civilization in China and India was driven by capitalism 27:10 The ancient Persians were very free market oriented 30:29 The irrigation for the Middle East was paid for by farm collectives, not the government, spurred on by strong private property rights 34:04 Cyrus the Great believed the government's only role was to maintain private property and voluntary contract Website: www.JasonHartman.com/Properties www.JasonHartman.com/Events www.Capitalism.global    Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI  Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/  Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com  

2145 FBF: Housing Starts, Equity Stripping & The Birthplace of Capitalism with Dr. Nima Sanandaji

Jason Hartman reflects on the three types of people in life: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who wonder what happened. Drawing on personal experiences, he emphasizes the importance of taking action and overcoming self-doubt to achieve success. Additionally, Hartman shares an intriguing chart illustrating the current scarcity in the real estate market, debunking notions of an imminent crash. Then Jason and Lance Lambert finish their discussion as they explore the "lock-in effect" caused by historically low mortgage rates. They highlight the significant impact on home sales and turnover rates in the real estate market, with a 57% reduction in home sales due to fixed-rate mortgage holders unwilling to give up their low-interest loans. They also touch on the multifamily housing market's influence on single-family rentals, noting that while rent increases have moderated, they remain solid. Data from Zillow and institutional players like Invitation Homes and American Homes for Rent provide insights into rental trends. Overall, despite market dynamics, investors can still find opportunities in the real estate landscape. #RealEstateMarket #MortgageRates #HomeownershipTrends #RentalMarketAnalysis #InstitutionalInvestors #PropertyInvesting #HousingTrends #MarketInsights #FinancialStrategy #EconomicOutlook #InvestmentOpportunities #PropertyManagement #RealEstateIndustry #MarketAnalysis   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:20 3 Types of people 10:28 Girl scout cookies and the housing inventory Lance Lambert interview part 2 12:52 Lock-in Effect 17:47 Dynamic of the RENT 21:27 Where the SFH rental data is from 25:18 Housing Shortage as told by 11 major firms 27:15 Scapegoating- Housing affordability and the effects of the NAR lawsuit https://www.resiclubanalytics.com/    Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI  Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/  Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

2144: Behind the Numbers: Insights from Institutional Players on Real Estate Trends with Lance Lambert Part 2

Jason sheds light on the shifting dynamics of commercial real estate, emphasizing the diminishing demand for traditional office and retail spaces due to remote work and online shopping trends. With insights on the retail apocalypse and industrial offshoring, the discussion highlights the enduring value of residential properties as an investment. Discover why housing remains the most tax-favored and historically proven asset class, offering opportunities for empowered investors. Lance Lambert, co-founder of Resi Club, discusses the real estate market's nuances with host Jason Hartman. Lambert highlights the tight resale market, down 30-35% from pre-pandemic levels in 2019, noting that despite this, 2019 wasn't a buyer's market. Affordability strains persist, especially in areas like Connecticut, impacted by the "donut effect" from pandemic migration. Lambert emphasizes builders' resilience, adjusting home sizes and finishes to tackle affordability while maintaining profit margins. He anticipates a shift towards smaller homes due to changing demographics. Despite challenges, residential construction employment remains strong, indicating continued market stability. #RealEstateInsights #ResiClub #LanceLambert  #HousingMarketAnalysis #SupplyDynamics #RealEstateTrends #RealEstateResearch #ExpertInterview #LanceLambertInsights #PandemicMigration #HousingTrends #DonutEffect #HomeBuilderStrategies #Affordability #DRHortonAnalysis Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 2:12 Outsourcing and Amazon 8:52 Elon Musk and Ai Lance Lambert interview 12:50 The largest asset class in America 15:00 US housing market- a tight RESALE supply 21:51 Mortgage market composition by country 24:01 Best years of housing affordability & cycles 26:37 Shift in share prices: 10 of the largest publicly traded US home builders 30:36 Parci Labs: New SFH continue to get smaller 33:08 Addressing the Lock-in Effect problem https://www.resiclubanalytics.com/    Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI  Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/  Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
