Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 141 published last December 28, 2009. 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. Upcoming shows will feature: Bradford B. Smart, author of Topgrading for Sales: World-Class Methods to Interview, Hire, and Coach Top Sales Representatives and Lisa Bromma, author of Wise Women Invest In Real Estate.    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

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

2143: Navigating the Tight Resale Market: Lance Lambert's Expert Analysis on Housing Supply Dynamics Part 1

This Flashback Friday is from episode 1025 published last July 11, 2018. Jason Hartman starts off the show from Croatia discussing the difference in investing when there are private companies involved versus when the government is involved. With private companies you know what you're going to get, they're going to follow supply & demand and try to maximize profits. With governments, however, they're much more of a wild card, which can make successfully investing more difficult. Then Jason talks with Bill Janeway, an active venture capitalist, director of Magnet Systems and O'Reilly Media, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Cambridge in America, and author of the recently revised and updated book Doing Capitalism in the Innovation Economy. The two discuss the 3 player game and the government's role on both the supply and demand side of the market, the digital revolution and the coming green revolution. Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 3:17 You can predict what private companies will do pretty easily, the government is a wild card 7:03 An invitation to Profits in Paradise in Hawaii Bill Janeway Interview: 10:09 How the thesis of the 3 player game came about 14:06 There are markets that need government pushing the supply side of things for driving innovation, but sometimes the government even needs to be on the demand side, adding income to support the economy 17:59 If the government hadn't jumped in on the demand side in the 2009 recession history has shown us what would have happened 20:03 Wherever there's a market for assets there will be bubbles 25:47 Why the digital revolution made Bill extend his book 32:46 We've got a new challenge, a new technological revolution, which is the need for a new, green revolution Website: www.JasonHartman.com/Events www.BillJaneway.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    

2142 FBF: Doing Capitalism in the Innovation Economy, Reconfiguring the Three-Player Game between Markets, Speculators & the State with Bill Janeway

Jason examines the shifting dynamics of the U.S. economy, focusing on the contraction of the middle class and the widening wealth gap. While some portray the housing market with negativity, a closer look reveals a segment of the population making significant cash purchases. This trend underscores the importance of identifying and capitalizing on sound financial strategies, such as investing in income-producing property, to ensure long-term security. #AmericanEconomy #EconomicLandscape #WealthGap #MiddleClass #HousingMarket #HousingCrisis #IncomeInequality #FinancialSecurity #FinancialPlanning #InvestingTips #RealEstateInvesting #IncomeProperty #loudobbs Key Takeaways: 1:28 The brain is not what it used to be 2:49 Very important: Keep in touch with us to stay updated on our LMS and markets  5:06 A greater dichotomy in wealth and technology 8:54 A bifurcated economy 11:41 Parcl: ALL CASH home purchases 12:29 The "way of the world" 18:11 The eclipse from my iPhone 18:28 Rural America- losing affordable housing at a crisis pace 21:33 Altos research: Housing inventory update 24:07 Business insider: home prices are poise to jump another 5% this year 25:24 John Burns: US homes listed for sale due to old-age deaths      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
