#146: Debt is good. Debt is bad. Which type is good and which type is bad?

When your tenant is paying your debt for you, that's good debt. When you have consumer debt, that's usually bad. But Keith contends that consumer debt can almost be good for some savvy investors that use debt for arbitrage.

If you could have gotten a 3% loan on your car, but instead you chose to pay cash, then you're probably paying an opportunity cost.

In real estate, the return from equity is always zero. Debt replaces that zero-return equity. But would you ever pay all-cash for your property? Keith is a "leverage guy", but yet he gives reasons for when and why you would want to pay all-cash.

Would you borrow $100K from 0% APR credit cards to create arbitrage? Some do.

Mortgages, Home Equity Lines Of Credit, Federal Funds Rates, automobile loans, student loans, and credit card debt are all discussed.

Ultimately, you would rather be financially-free rather than debt-free.

#145: Financial advisors sell stocks. Buy-and-hold stock investing doesn't create wealth, but financial advisors create the illusion that they do.

Today's guest, Ntellivest's Brent Sutherland, is a financial advisor that began successfully investing in cash-flowing real estate with 8 single-family properties.

Brent pulls back the curtain on what's going on "behind the scenes" with financial advisors and their biased "advice".

Really...what's wrong with stocks?

Keith adds content about how and why buy-and-hold stocks don't create wealth with five reasons: inflation, emotion, taxes, fees, and volatility. This is partly due to secondary market dilution.

#142: Keith's $530,000 four-plex dropped in value to $480,000 during the 2007-09 Mortgage Meltdown.

Lessons from the Housing Crisis of 2007-2009 still influence Keith's investing today. Our guest, Damion Lupo, lost worse than Keith at this time. His $20M portfolio imploded.

Damion spent over a million dollars on seminars alone. He recklessly went all-out by purchasing 150 rental units across 7 states more than a decade ago - without regard for cash flow. It crashed.

Today, his firm, Total Control Financial, helps you control your financial future with self-directed IRA and Solo 401K services for optimized retirement planning.
