Wealth Watch Words of Wisdom

1. Begin with the end in mind. Use an investment policy statement so that you know where you are headed before you begin looking at properties. 

2. Don't forget to study markets and sub-markets. Understanding where to locate your investments is key.

3. Find a mentor and then find a way to help them. It is a real advantage to have an experienced friend on your side as you move forward.

Join Jared in this episode as he finishes his interview with Michael Zuber, the founder of One Rental at a Time. Michael and Jared discuss a number of topics in this rebroadcast of the second half of Michael's recent show. 

Is a real estate hair cut inevitable? Will the real estate market as a whole correct like the stock market? The answer is yes, but the real estate market corrects very differently than a stock market. That is why it is critical to understand individual markets, as with real estate, everything is local. 

Join Jared in this episode as he is interviewed by Michael Zuber, the founder of One Rental at a Time. Michael and Jared discuss a number of topics in this rebroadcast of Michael's recent show. Among the topics discussed is the state of the real estate market and what to do about an eventual correction. 

With the stock market plunging and erasing years of gains, many real estate investors are asking if bubble markets are a risk now. The quick answer is Yes they are! But how do you spot them? Not all market drops happen nationally like 2008. 

In this episode, Jared and Tom talk about how to spot bubble markets and when and how to get out if you are invested in one now!

Wealth Watch Wisdom in this episode:

1. Watch 5-year, 1-year, and latest quarter appreciation trends to see if your market is heating up or slowing down. 
2. Watch inventory level bulges and absorption rates to see corrections coming. 
3. Need the 80/20 Rule: Get out at 80% and leave 20% for the next guy. 

We've all experienced tight inventory. In those times, it's important to have a partner that's willing to work to find alternative ways to source inventory. That way, you can still bring profitable deals to the table.

Today, Tom and Jared tackle the best strategies on how to source off-market properties and find deals even in the hardest times.

Wealth Watch Words of Wisdom

1. The party is only over if you stop looking for deals

2. Sourcing off-market deals can be a win-win for both investors and sellers

3. Wholesale and rent-ready deals can be more profitable for experienced investors than turn-key

Sometimes the best finds are the most overlooked. That's certainly the case with South Bend, Indianna. South Bend is a smaller market with low property prices and decent appreciation, making it a hybrid market where investors can pick up cash flow and equity at the same time.

Today, Tom and Jared discuss the highs and lows of South Bend with guest Steven Kollar. Find out what makes this town special and the best way to invest.

Wealth Watch Words of Wisdom

• South Bend is a diamond in the rough. People overlook Michiana  and this means there are still deals to be had
• Currently, many markets are peaking. South Bend allows you to get into a market that is still rising.
• Diversity of economy: government, education, manufacturing, technology
• South Bend has inventory that cash flows. This is not easy to find in other markets.
