No one really knows the future, but with real estate, there are a number of signposts that can predict where we are heading. Today’s show is a call from last week as part of the Flipping America REIA group. On the call we talked about the real estate leading indicators, what they tell us, and how to get the data. Plus I provide a link for everyone listening to grab your own copy of this report - I’m not even asking for your email address - it’s a simple link on my website. You’re welcome. If you are paying attention, real estate moves just slowly enough you can adjust course and make wise decisions.
What are the leading indicators for the real estate market?
Where do we get the data?
How should we interpret the data?
What makes the real estate market trends different from stock market trends?
What does it mean to be a "nimble" real estate investor and how do you accomplish that?
We will answer these questions and more on the call.

No one really knows what is about to happen - to the economy as a whole and especially in real estate. Uncertainty can lead to anxiety which does not necessarily contribute to good investing decisions. Joe Thompson has been around real estate in various forms for many years and has seen markets come and go. He will be joining me to discuss the current situation and possibilities for real estate investors looking forward.
We will talk about How this economy is different from the economy shifts we've seen before?
What signs should investors be watching for?
If single family sales tank, where is the opportunity for real estate investors?

Announcements:How is this economy different from the economy shifts you've seen before?
No way to see it coming. 87 crash - could see it coming. 2008 crash. Some saw it coming
How is it similar?
Domino effect. Retail - then landlord,
Liquidity crisis
What signs should investors be watching for?
Don't spend anything you don't actually have to. I might need this money later.
Price points of the people who still have jobs. What income levels and where are the markets?
Geographic location and/or asset type. Start in single family - mistakes are less costly.
Talk about the connection between the overall economy and the housing market.
If single family sales tank, where is the opportunity for real estate investors?
If the rental market implodes, same question.
What will get a "buy recommendation" in 30 days? 90 days?

Motivational Thoughts for the day “The mistake is thinking that there can be an antidote to the uncertainty.” ― David LevithanToday we are talking about a form of passive real estate income that can create cash-flow, tax advantages, and build wealth. I'm talking about turn-key rentals and today we have two of the best - Jack Gibson and Jeff Schecter. A Turn-key rental is a property you buy from someone that has already been rehabbed and is ready for the rental market. It may already be rented! A good turn-key supplier can recommend a property manager or two. The best don't do the property management. They have enough to do with locating and rehabbing the properties for you and this helps you avoid possible conflicts of interest between construction, maintenance, and management. Jack and Jeff have been in this business for years. They approach their craft with integrity, understanding of the market and awareness of your needs. If you are on the hunt for cash-flowing rentals - if you are pulling money out of the equity markets and looking for a safe place to put it, you are going to want to connect with them.

Announcements:Shecky - the Gig Economy will explode.
Now more than ever we all need income in addition to our regular J.O.B. This has always been true for those who aspire to wealth. But with the uncertainties and anxieties around our economy in light of the Covid-19 pandemic, it's more important than ever to maximize income and returns from every source. On this call we will look at the various types of income and every participant will be encouraged to start making a plan to develop at least one more source of income. This is NOT by taking a second job. Earned income is only one form of income (out of 7 or 8). You might be surprised at how many things you can trade for money!
Mike Ventry will join us and discuss how you can use a self-directed retirement account to invest in income producing assets like real estate. Mike is the Director of Business Development at American IRA . He has over 15 years of experience as a Top Producer in the mortgage banking industry, in the Atlanta area. During his 40+ years in the Atlanta area, he has started, built and sold multiple companies to large national corporations. He has an exceptional background in providing superior customer service and communication to his clients. Mike holds an MLO license with the Federal and State Departments of Banking and Finance. In his current role, he assists new clients and investors by providing them with the education and knowledge to be successful in self-directing their retirement accounts. He regularly teaches a 3 Hour CE class on self-directing for realtors. Mike also is a frequent attendee and guest speaker at real estate (and non-real estate) associations and networking groups in the Atlanta and the South East. Mike has been a contributor as an expert resource for Think Realty Magazine along with many other financial and real estate radio shows and podcasts.The call is sure to contain many actionable steps and ideas to help you plan now and act when the time is right.
It's a scary time for many people. Many have lost their jobs or have been furloughed. No one knows when or if we will ever get back to normal. Our plan MUST include surviving. But if we can make adjustments to our lifestyles as needed and continue the discipline of saving and investing we can actually move forward. Perhaps you can supplement income by wholesaling properties. You can make money as a Flipping America Affiliate and there may be other affiliate opportunities available to you. Here several ideas on this call.
We are going to take the "flea market flip" approach to this. (Have you seen that show? It's been awhile.) We are going to take stock of whatever is at hand (time, money, skills, knowledge, etc.) and we are going to turn that into money. Then we will use that money to create more money. Let's flesh out that plan to add at least one more income stream before the end of May. You can do this! I'm rooting for you. I'm rooting for us!

Announcements:We have a double feature for you today! Avery Carl wants to be your money-making vacation home realtor. I know this may not seem like the best time to be talking about this but the pandemic and the social distancing will not last forever. Eventually people are going to get back to work and get back to vacationing. And there will be some bargains in the vacation home market. Avery and her team will not only help you find your ideal vacation home - one you can use and rent out when you are not there - they will also help you connect with local resources to perform all of the management and maintenance of the unit and help you list it on AirBnB and VRBO. She provides this service at no additional charge to you. And that's not all - she's going to run the numbers for you and give you a bit of a proforma on the property as well. That's coming up in a couple of minutes. Theshorttermshop.com.
Later on I'm going to speak with Brett Swarts about the Deferred Sales Trust. This is a little known but powerful tool you can put to work right away as part of your tax plan. This has several advantages over the standard 1031 exchange. It's a bit more technical, but could save you tens of thousands of dollars on your next tax bill. Brett is the President of Capital Gains Tax Solutions, LLC, located in Sacramento, CA. (www.capitalgainstaxsolutions.com) Together with his team and in partnership with the Estate Planning Team, Brett provides trustee services which helps real estate and business owners gain tax deferral, freedom, liquidity and diversification with their funds so they can create and preserve more wealth.

Announcements:Life doesn't usually go as planned. We don't put "big mistakes" in our three year plans. And NO ONE had "global pandemic" in their business model for 2020. But this doesn't mean we forget we have a business to run and mouths to feed. Tough things happen and the tough power through them. The economy has been battered. Most of us are staying home. Business is definitely NOT normal. This is a good time to reflect on our goals for 2020 - how they have been affected, how our priorities might have changed, and what we need to try to accomplish for the remainder of this year. On this call we are going to talk about what we need to be thinking about and planning to get us there.
Lewis Carroll said, "If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there." In his inimitable style, Yogi Berra said "If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else." Let's start laying the groundwork to not end up "someplace else."
Let's rethink our priorities, reset our goals, and renew our commitments to get there. I'll be sharing with you some of the goal setting secrets behind my book, "GMS Planner". I will show you pages from the Quarterly Planning Retreat, and then let everyone on the call download them and do their own "retreat". You'll learn:
-to celebrate everything you can - including the lessons learned through difficulties and challenging times.
-the value of adjusting course. Life throw's curve balls, we adjust our swing and still get base hits.
-how to break down our goals into manageable milestones.
-how to translate those milestones into action steps
I'm also going to give you the weekly planning page I use to manage all of my business and income streams. No April Fools joke here - it's yours for just listening in.
