February 08, 2022 Jason Hartman – Inflation is Actually a Good Thing?
Inflation is what everyone is talking about but could inflation really be a good thing. Jason Hartman has something he calls "Inflation-induced debt destruction". He lays out an elaborate concept of using debt to short the dollar. Right away, that gives you an idea about how inflation can be good for this. Debt is more valuable than ever. So is owning your own home. Jason and Bronson rave about what makes income property a superior asset class, especially in this current inflation atmosphere. The way Jason breaks down the many creative benefits behind using this asset and debt is nothing short of fascinating. This way you ride the tides of inflation instead of getting crushed by it.

January 04, 2022 Active vs Passive Investing; Which is Better? - Camilla Jeffs
Investing can be complicated; if you are planning to actively invest your time and energy in developing a portfolio, you must know the difference between active and passive investment. But for anyone who’s ever said, ‘I don’t have time’ well Camilla just puts us all to shame. Full-time HR job, triathlete, and she built her real estate career while raising five kids. One of the many real estate misconceptions we love to mention is that you don’t have to start with single-family. Another is the simple truth that you can start with passive investing right away. It’s all about finding which one you have more of, Time or Money. There’s always going to be a little risk involved, but learning how to invest passively doesn’t mean you can’t add in some active investing as you go. According to Camilla, the best strategy for investing is to find a good balance between the two.

In this episode, we explore:
01:28 – Out of necessity
02:06 – Renting out their basement
03:31 – Live and Flip method
04:12 – DIY flipper with five kids
05:22 – Fatigued with little income
06:01 – Buying an apartment complex
07:26 – More Time or More Money?
08:21 – Control as a passive investor
09:32 – Getting to know the operators
10:15 – A forgiving market
11:43 – Lightbulb ‘aha’ moment
12:48 – Getting started in passive investment
13:46 – The people managing the deal
16:39 – The value of passive investors
