PoFU Podcast

One of the hottest topics in the finance world these days is INFLATION. Recent report showed inflation in the US has hit 40-year highs of 7.5%. What is inflation? Who is and what is impacted? How do you hedge against inflation? We tackle all those questions and more in episode 30.

This episode centers around the idea that we all have to get started somewhere. Jeremiah tells the story of a recent lunch with 2 cash-heavy professionals (we may have referred to them as "cash-holes"!) who had an interest in timing the market. We also clarified the messaging in Episode 27 about the need to be an accredited investor to invest in syndications. In short, you can still invest in syndications if you are not accredited and have a pre-established relationship with the syndicator. That said, if you're not accredited, let's rip the bandaid off and get you on the path to being accredited!

Special thanks to Jeremy at @personalfinanceclub for providing the inspiration for episode 28, The 7 Sins of Investing. This episode focuses on what not to do in the world of stock market investing. Be sure to follow @personalfinanceclub on IG. Thanks for listening!

We promised a deep-dive into syndications several episodes ago, and in Episode 27 we finally deliver. Syndication investing has become the medium of choice for both Ben and Jeremy. With all the benefits of real estate ownership (cash flow, appreciation, tax benefits, etc) but none of the headaches (property management, accounting, etc) syndication investing is the closest thing we've found to true hands-off mailbox money. Tune into hear our breakdown, what they are, how to find them, and everything in between.

Every year should start with a goal-setting exercise. Our areas of focus are personal, professional, and financial goals for 2022. Looking forward to a great year and tackling these goals!

Special guest David Williams joins Ben and Jeremiah at Studio 1164 for episode 25. A former collegiate national champion and professional cyclist, David shares with us the successes, struggles, and mental fortitude it takes to make it on the pro tour. This conversation deviates from our normal financial subjects but offers tips that can be useful in any endeavor. Whether it be athletics, career, or financial planning, mental toughness is a key with any great challenge.  Big thank you to David @d_rwill for a great contribution to the podcast!

Celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the PoFU Podcast, Ben & Jeremiah put a bow on 2021 and review their wins and losses from the year, financial and otherwise. Thanks to all the listeners for a great first year!

In this episode we share some good news stemming from episode 20, we dive a little deeper into some short term rental feedback from loyal listener Bryan Kuyper, and we share details on our recent business + pleasure trip to San Diego where we rode our bikes like all over SoCal and also spent some quality time with our business partners and real estate gurus, Equity Street Capital.

This episode is a follow-up to episode 21 where we broke down the evaluation of long term rental properties. Episode 22 we dive into short term rentals, a discussion inspired by our good friend Nathanial Williams and write-in fan/follower, Bryan Kuyper. Short term rentals can have a larger upside on paper, but also tend to require more hands on management. Reviews, amenities, attractions, and seasonality are just a few of the topics covered. 

After settling a bet made in a previous episode, we jump right into the bread and butter of our real estate investing journey: evaluating and purchasing rental properties.  The discussion gets granular into each data point that must be considered when vetting rentals and how to apply a formula to your decision making process.
