Financial Freedom Report

Greetings still from Ecuador, which is on an elevation of 12,000 feet! Today Jason talks about another bank run and how this puts massive inflationary pressure on the entire economic system. He also talks about how new home sales proves Wall Street was wrong- saying low housing inventory is “fake news” and even how the MLS’ Active listings since 1982 chart confirms this!

And Jason interviews Adam LeBor, author of the book “Tower of Basel.” Adam takes us on a journey to uncover the history of the Bank for International Settlements, also known as the Tower of Basel. He explores the power and influence of this mysterious institution, which is said to be the central bank of the world’s central banks. Through interviews with experts and a deep dive into historical events, Adam gives us insight into the inner workings of the bank, its role in the global financial system, the complexities of the international banking system and the forces that shape it.

Blame Boreas, Cleon and Electra for a slowdown in housing on the East coast this winter. According to a new Bloomberg report, those harsh winter storms may have accounted at least partly for a slowdown in housing activity on the East Coast. And that points up one of Jason Harman’s key strategies fro investing success: diversify.

For people living in the East and Midwest, the New Year brought a series of extreme winter storms that walloped the area with subfreezing temperatures, snow and ice storms. Named after figures in Greek and Roman mythology, these weather fronts scooped up polar air and whipped it with high winds to create a “polar vortex” that was even visible from space. These storms affected every aspect of life in the affected areas, so it’s no surprise that they could put a dent in the housing recovery too.

Sales of existing homes fell in January 2014 to levels not seen in over a year, and experts say weather most likely played a significant role in the slowdown in some areas. It’s not the first time that weather has had an effect on housing – a similar situation followed the “Super storm” Sandy of a couple of years ago as well.

The unusually cold weather – this past January was the coldest since 1994 – also contributed to a slowdown in other economic sectors such as employment. And that also has a direct impact on the housing recovery and the ability of buyers to qualify for and sustain a mortgage.

But the hard-hit East Coast wasn’t the only area to see a slowdown in housing sales – and that means other factors such as higher mortgage rates and tighter standards for borrowing also contributed to a slow period. And in some areas, the supply of available properties also hit levels not seen in the past year as well.

Is the slowdown temporary? It’s too soon to say. The Federal Reserve is going forward with its plans to taper down its stimulus program – a hint that they don’t see the current situation as permanent. And conditions are different in various areas of he country, where weather wasn’t a major factor in the equation.

But the stats emerging after the January freeze give even more weight to Jason Hartman’s Commandment for Successful Investing: “Thou shalt diversify.” Wise investors who want to build wealth need to spread holdings over as many markets as possible. Buying properties in more than one market offers some protection if a market is hard hit by storms, economic downturns or other factors.

Diversifying outside an investor’s local markets also opens doors to new opportunities in places where the factors that affect market slowdowns are less of an issue – winter storm warnings aren’t as likely to affect the housing inventory in the West, for example, And those other factors, too, may play a different role.

Cleon and his friends may play their own part in a temporary housing slowdown. But smart investors can soften the blow – and the effects of other factors too – by following Jason Hartman’s advice to cast a wider net for profitable income properties.

The first key to understanding inflation is to recognize the difference between real and nominal. If you think about a physical $100 bill, it is easy to understand that 50 years ago, it was still a $100 bill. We called it the same thing, it looked (mostly) the same when you held it in your hands. But it was the same in a nominal way—in name only.

A $100 bill did not buy the same amount of things 50 years ago. Instead, the value fluctuates constantly. Recently, you may have noticed examples of fluctuating prices in places like shopping malls. While holiday sales used to happen after the holiday, retailers now offer price saving opportunities before the holiday, despite the fact that it cuts into their bottom line.  We’re entering a different economic time.

It is also important to distinguish between price and value. Temporary appreciation of money is great—but it should be taken advantage of with an attention to time. Money that is more valuable in the short term should be immediately exchanged for packaged commodities, like real estate. Then, you’ve got a mortgage that is locked in the price of borrowing for thirty years. Price and value are two different things, so take a tip from Jason Hartman and make sure you understand the difference.

Remember Joe the Plumber? His fifteen minutes of fame came after he said, “Obama, you’re going to raise my taxes and redistribute wealth.” But taxes are the amateur’s game of wealth redistribution because it is so obvious. When people are taxed, they get upset. Inflation is less obvious that taxation and is therefore the superior wealth redistribution tool.

Inflation destroys the value of stocks, savings, bonds, equity. You may have heard that real estate is an excellent hedge against inflation. If you’ve got a real estate portfolio work $1 million in equity, in ten years, we don’t exactly know the value. But we can make an educated guess that it’s going to be worth less than it is today. Being a millionaire isn’t as difficult as it used to be.

If you sell your million dollars in properties today, these dollars are worth more than dollars in ten years. As you can see, equity is under attack because it is nominated in dollars. You shouldn’t have equity because it is always susceptible to risk—instead, as Jason Hartman says, Refi Till You Die!

Gold prices are on the upswing again after months of slumping, and the precious metals market is once again teasing investors with the promise of big gains – fast. But the nature of that kind of investing means that while investors may make money, it’s a bit of instant gratification that has little to offer for the long term. And that’s what makes real estate the investing gift that keeps on giving – as long as you don’t treat it like gold.

Precious metals investing offers investors the chance to make a profit, sometimes very substantial, if they sell quickly when the price is right. But as Shawn Watkins of Investing Workshops explains it, once the deal is done, what profit an investor makes is static. In order to make more money, it’s necessary to buy more gold –at a price that may be very different. And that gold isn’t going to be working for an investor: yielding a regular annual return, or earning tax breaks and credits.

Real estate can – as long as you don’t treat it like gold. House flipping – buying real estate at low prices and selling it as fast as possible for a profit -is a lot like buying gold. House flippers don’t look to the long term – they turn their profits back into the next house, and the next one.

Because house flippers sell as soon as they can, they lose the opportunity to make long term returns in the form of rents and tax breaks. And they may face even more taxes on profits made from the sales of assets. What’s more, any profits made can be devoured by the next attempt to get back into the investing game.

Investors who build long-term wealth put their assets to work for them, with a steady return year after year and the annual round of tax breaks that make real estate the most tax friendly investment available. While house flipping does involve buying residential real estate, the fast turnaround eliminates all those opportunities for ongoing returns.

As Jason Hartman says, buying – and holding – residential property is the key to building long term wealth. The steady return from rents, along with the still-formidable list of tax breaks and credits available to investors in income property may not be as dramatic as buying gold – or flipping houses – but for creating solid income streams, it’s no flash in the pan.

Jason Hartman gets nervous when homes in his neighborhood start making dramatic leaps in price. Why, you ask? It’s because equity makes him nervous. Should a natural disaster come along, the homeowner is in trouble. It’s a lot of responsibility.

If you’ve got an employee working for you and he or she is lazy, you’ll likely fire them. Treat your money the same way—get rid of the lazy money, or put it to work.

Consider refinancing and buy more rental properties with the money you make. Refi additional loans too. Get a fixed rate mortgage. Don’t get scared or worried if you have your property evaluated and notice that it fluctuates in value—the cost of improvement and the cost of land both go up. But the most significant risk is in areas of high land value, where dramatic appreciation can happen. There is high risk in high land value.

As an investor, you simply avoid markets where this is the case. Think of it this way—Jason purchased a home in Georgia for $159,000 and the insurance company said that they’re insure the house for $135,000. The improvement is the only thing insured because the land will always be there. Cost of house minus insurance equals only $24,000—which is the value of the land.

If the land goes down in value, even by half, only $12,000 is lost. So when you’re choosing your investment markets, look at the cost of land in this way.

We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again—the world is growing and all of these people are going to need a place to live. And we’re making more people but we’re certainly not getting any more land. Find areas with cheap land now and build houses. It’s the best job security you’ll ever have.

Of course, if you’re looking for more information, Jason Hartman offers a wealth of free resources to help you make money and develop a great investment portfolio. He’s got a bunch of free podcasts where he answers questions and offers advice, but also interviews industry experts. He’s got his blog, his list of free tools right here on the website. You can even shop for properties online!

Of course, if you’re more of a one on one, in person kind of person, contact him directly or attend one of his events held throughout the year!

If you’ve been listening to Jason Hartman for long, you’ve probably heard him say that he’s not an optimist, but an opportunist. Time, Mother Nature, and Government operate largely independently of us as individuals, so rather than lament the destruction that each of them can cause, we recommend finding ways to make them work in your favor.

Time You’ve probably noticed that most people have too much life left at the end of their money, and not the other way around. People are living longer and healthier, which means more money is required.

As an investor, longevity can really work in your favor. As we continue to live longer, the government prints more money to sustain us. This causes inflation-induced debt destruction. Essentially, the value of our debts are destroyed—increasing the value of commodities (which make up our income properties). Times, they are a’changin—in your favor!

Mother Nature Natural disasters continue to happen and create chaos and catastrophe. They displace people, destroy businesses, and create a feeling of uncertainty for everyone. But even large scale disasters can provide a fresh start.

Old homes that are potentially dangerous are replaced by newer, more stable properties. Developers find areas recently affected by natural disasters and pay high prices for pieces of land adjacent to one another, build fancy homes, make a decent profit. Those who suffer the consequences of Mother Nature sometimes profit from their insurance claims, and those who supply commodities make money in rebuilding efforts. Mother Nature causes upward pressure on the commodities that make up your investments.

Government While you may or may not agree with the way the government spends money, it is important to understand that it just might be good to you as an investor. What you might identify as being bad for the country is good for you—so embrace the positive. Government spending creates inflation—and that is great for investors! 

Smartphones and tablets, iPhone, iPad and Android – mobile devices are the heirs of the home computer, making it possible to do business anywhere and everywhere. There’s an app for virtually every need, including investing and managing investment properties. Here’s a rundown of five handy apps, mostly free, from leading app stores for investors on the go.

The Landlord AppFor purchase on both the iPhone and Android devices, this app allows landlords to keep track of tenants, rental payments and other expenditures. The app can also provide updates on property values and home prices, and help check backgrounds of prospective tenants.

AroundMeFree for iPhone and Android, AroundMe tracks properties around a user’s rentals for changing property values, availability for purchase and rent, and much more. Users can also create a customized profile for their own interests and needs.

CreditKarmaThis free credit-checking app for iPhone allows users to perform credit checks on the spot and track accounts over time. Since it’s free, the app is advertising-heavy, but its simple interface and repaid response make it useful for screening prospective tenants quickly.

BloombergAvailable for iPhone, iPad and Android in both free and paid forms,  the Bloomberg app offers most of the features of the Bloomberg website. Users can read the latest business updates, listen to the site’s podcasts, and view trending financial and investing news.

WSJ House of the DayWall Street Journal’s House of the Day app for iPhone and Android showcases a new home every day, with details on architecture, furnishings and more. Homes on the site range from high-end mansions to newly renovated vintage homes, with plenty of images for inspiration and information.

Mobile apps make managing investments and rental issues easier and faster – but they aren’t without risks. Experts advise treating your mobile device like a computer: passwords protect it, shop for apps at recognized stores such as Amazon, and use secure connections for transactions. Bur for the investor building wealth in income property as Jason Hartman advises, mobile apps can save time and travel.
