The Moneyball Real Estate Show

We’re just one day away from the 2020 presidential election. That makes today’s show incredibly special, and we can’t think of a better guest to join us for this historic occasion.

Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the only - Buck Sexton!

Buck is a conservative political commentator, author, and host of the Buck Sexton show. He is a former CIA analyst, he’s sharp as a whip and if this is the first time you’re hearing about him, well then - you’re in for a treat!

We met Buck a while back when we approached him to sponsor his radio show, and over the years, we’ve built an amazing partnership. 

He recently bought his first property with us and it was so exciting to work with him because our ideas and values overlap completely.

“I want to bet on America. That’s my approach.” - Buck Sexton

He’s just an incredibly genuine, down-to-earth guy, a true patriot, and Steve and I are so glad to have him as a friend.

We’re going to go over a range of topics surrounding real estate and investing, while consistently reflecting on the current political situation in the United States. 

Finally, Buck will share a heartfelt message about the importance of these elections and why we must protect the freedoms and values our great country has been built on.

Politics have always had a major impact on real estate investing. On the one hand, housing policies can make the process a lot easier, but on the other, they can stifle it quite a bit. 

With the 2020 election just around the corner, I thought it would be quite interesting to take a closer look at the proposals made by the two candidates and review them purely from an investor standpoint.

Whatever happens after this election, one thing is sure - the impacts on the real estate industry will be massive.

That’s why I think there’s great value in analyzing each of these policies objectively, without taking political preferences into account.

Before we get into it, there is something you should know about me. I’m a freedom-loving capitalist, and I believe in the principles of the free market. 

Knowing this will give you a better understanding of my reasoning around this topic.

I also believe everyone needs to make their own decision, so, please...

“Take everything I say with a grain of salt. Go do your own research!” - Kevin Clayson

By this time in the campaign, most of you have probably decided who you’re voting for. Even if you’re still undecided, I’m confident whatever I say here isn’t going to sway your opinions in any way.

My only goal here is to examine these policies through the lens of income replacement and explore the potential effects they could have on the future of real estate investing.

Key Таkeaways:

• Next week’s episode announcement (amazing guest!) (1:21
• Why I chose to talk about 2020 housing policies today (2:54)
• Are you a producer or a consumer? (5:23)

When people estimate investment risks, it all usually comes down to one key question. "Am I going to lose money?"

We use all kinds of information, metrics, and systems as we try to assess if we're going to be worse off than we were before investing.

And when it's all said and done, there just isn't any other investment form that comes close to real estate in terms of mitigating risk.

But there's a good reason why that's so. For starters...

"With real estate, the risk comes in as a factor in the short term." - Steve Earl

And ONLY in the short term.

If you invest conservatively, in single-family properties located in the right markets - even in the most uninteresting scenarios, you'll always have something to get excited about.

As you increase your real estate investment time frame, you will learn that the risk starts trickling down to a point where it becomes unmatched.

It all comes down to how the real estate game is set up. There are numerous "pressure valves" spread along the way that help increase predictability and minimize the risks.

And we're going to go over each of them on this week's episode of Replace Your Income!

Join us as we go into the nitty-gritty and explain the system which allows real estate to be the ultimate risk eliminator of the investment world.

Key Takeaways:

• What to expect in our upcoming episodes? (1:56)
• Why is real estate the ultimate risk eliminator? (5:03)
• The most important thing you need to mitigate risk (8:16)
• Real estate is a great investment - even in impossible scenarios! (15:16)
• How is appreciation virtually guaranteed? (15:16)
• The longer the time frame, the lower the risk (16:25)
• Why is it so essential to consider your investments in the long-term? (19:16)
• Why we love investing in real estate so much (22:11)
• Getting your first property is ALWAYS life-changing (27:12)

The real estate market is on fire right now. It has been cruising upwards in most regions across America, urging many investors to ask themselves this very nerve-wracking question.

When is the right time for me to sell my real estate?

Throughout our years in real estate, people have been asking us this question regularly, and the answer has always been the same. It’s probably not what most people expect to hear, but complex issues such as this one require elaborate solutions.

“When is the best time to sell? The short answer - it depends.” - Kevin Clayson

As with everything in real estate, your decisions need to be in line with your goals. Deciding on when you’re going to sell will depend on why you’ve entered the world of real estate investment in the first place.

Join us for yet another exciting episode of the Replace Your Income podcast!

Key Takeaways:

• Why is it so important to know when to sell? (1:41)

If you've been listening to the episodes from the past few weeks, then you know we've been calling the current climate the 'perfect storm' of real estate. It is the best time to be investing, but we didn't want you to just hear it from us, so we brought on someone from our team on the ground. 

Today, we're talking to Ryan Hinricher, our acquisitions manager working in the greater Orlando area. We'll be covering why that market is in such high demand, why rental real estate, in general, is in such high demand, and how "blue chip" real estate is the key to unlocking income replacement over time.

The COVID era has stirred up a lot of questions regarding real estate. Earlier in the year, we weren't sure how it would affect the market, but now that we've had some time to analyze trends from other pandemics and finally return to a degree of normalcy, we are better able to gauge how to move forward. 

And we've seen that this is truly a time like no other and, oddly enough, one of the better times to be investing. Be sure to tune in, because this episode is chock full of great insights!

And like always, if you have any specific questions you'd like us to go over, please reach out through our website. We're just a phone call away!

Key Takeaways:

• A bit about Ryan’s background (7:40)
• Real Estate in the COVID era (14:45)
• Why the price of homes hasn’t been decreasing (17:00)
• The process to be able to go and find homes when supply is so low (21:40)
• Current and upcoming infrastructure programs in Orlando (28:26)
• Why blue chip real estate is the foundation of the income replacement sort of approach (35:47)
• Why Central Florida should be something that we're looking at as a piece of our income replacement plan (39:50)

Many of our listeners share this one big concern about investing in real estate. 

We recently got some interesting feedback, and what people commonly see as the biggest challenge of investing is not having enough money to purchase a property. 

Now, I get that most Americans don’t just have $50k lying around in their bank account doing nothing. But if that’s the only reason you still haven’t started replacing your income with real estate, I’ve got to tell you - it’s not good enough.

“I don’t care what your position is in life right now. There IS a clear and reasonable path to you owning real estate.” - Kevin Clayson

That doesn’t mean everyone will be able to jump in the game right away and start buying properties right off the bat.

You may need to do a little bit of saving, or maybe you need to work on your credit score… 

But there’s ALWAYS something you can do to get on the right path that will guide you to becoming a property owner.

This week, Steve and I will talk about our simple strategy for getting in the game that works even if you don’t have a lot of money saved up. 

We’re going to explore different variations of this easy, straightforward, yet practical approach while underlining the sacrifices that come with each scenario.

After this episode, you should feel a lot closer to the possibility of owning multiple properties and income replacement through real estate. 

And in case you have any specific questions you’d like us to go over, feel free to reach out through our website. We’re always just a phone call away!

• The most common challenge people have with investing in real estate (2:29)

I recently wrote a Forbes article about refinancing, which inspired the topic of this week’s episode. Allow me to set the stage real quick.

Most people think of refinancing as an expense, where the focus is on giving away money rather than earning it. Steve and I find this perspective to be incredibly limiting. 

That is why we propose a subtle shift.

“Let’s look at a refinance as an investment… instead of just looking at it as a cost.” - Kevin Clayson

To make the distinction, we use the term ROI refinances, and this tiny little reframe makes all the difference.

What we’ve done is we took the most common understanding of the concept, and we flipped it on its head. In doing so, we’re effectively turning from a negative mindset to a positive one.

Looking at refinances like investment opportunities is incredibly useful for replacing your income. It’s one of the easiest ways to get a great return on your investment, and we’re going to explain just why that is so, step by step in today’s episode.

Many of us often approach financial topics from a mindset of scarcity. But just making that little mindset shift can open up a whole new world of opportunities.

Enjoy the show, and if you want to learn more about ROI refinances, we’ve set up a special page on our website so you can add it to your investment toolbox:

https://dfy-realestate.com/roirefi

Key Takeaways:

• A brand new perspective on refinancing (2:36)
• People usually focus on the costs of refinancing - why is this bad? (5:56)
• What is refinancing, and how does it work? (7:35)
• Why is our interpretation of refinancing different? (13:16)
• What is an ROI refinance? (breakdown + example) (14:48)
• One of the best things about making an ROI refinance (17:29)
• An example of how an ROI refinance works (18:50)
• Letting go of the mindset of scarcity (22:44)
• A story about helping my kids develop an investor mentality (25:13)

There is an investment so common that roughly 70% of Americans are contributing to it. But when you look at it purely from an investor’s mindset, it becomes the single worst performing investment in the United States.

In real estate, sometimes all you need is to change your perspective just slightly, and the game changes instantly.

Most of us have been taught that purchasing a primary residence is the most important investment we will ever make in our life. But if you take a closer look at the deal we all get and analyze it exclusively from an investment perspective, it becomes painfully apparent it’s not a good deal.

“Equity in your primary residence is equivalent to having dollars locked in a safe, in the basement of which you do not have a key.” - Kevin Clayson

Steve and I are all for paying off your home. However, if you’re looking to replace your income with real estate, the timing of owning your property is so very critical.  

Considering your primary residence as an investment property opens up a lot of great opportunities, and you’ll quickly learn there’s a way to tap into some of that otherwise trapped equity. 

Today, we’re going to highlight the most damaging aspects of a primary home investment deal and show you how you can turn it into something more powerful.

We want to share a different way of thinking that’s helped us and thousands of our clients move further along the path of income replacement through real estate.

If you’d like to learn more about this topic, we’ve set up a special page on our website just for that:

https://dfy-realestate.com/equity

Key Takeaways:

• A brand new perspective on equity (3:48)
• The worst-performing investment 70% of Americans are contributing to (6:05)
• What are the most damaging aspects of your primary residence investment? (8:12)
• Is your primary home REALLY the greatest investment you’re ever going to make? (14:08)
• A new way to look at your primary residence equity (17:43)
• Why do we advocate a short-term buy and hold scenario? (22:53)
• If your equity is locked up, it doesn’t mean anything (25:03)
• The timing of owning your home is critical (27:22)

People have been making all sorts of predictions regarding how COVID will affect the real estate industry.

You may recall some discouraging predictions, like that home prices we’re going to drop, and comparisons with the Great Recession have indeed been made on many occasions. 

So Steve and I got together recently to summarize our impressions about what’s really been going on in recent months. We had a lengthy, thorough, and incredibly exciting conversation. 

In the end, we came to a stunning realization.

“Everything that we’ve been told at the beginning of this pandemic… It’s just not what we’re seeing!” - Steve Earl

We compared notes, reviewed some trusted sources, and consulted with our boots-on-the-ground team. As a result, we determined several important factors affecting the current real estate market, and we want to share them with you today.

These key factors are coming together to create a perfect real estate storm, which is why we think there has never been a better time to invest in single-family homes than right now!
