How to get started investing is one of the most common questions we're asked. So no surprise it comes up again in this edition of Ask The Guys. Of course, the answer depends on where you're at, where you want to go, what you have to work with, and what's happening in the marketplace at the time. So even though the question repeats, the answer is seldom the same. Another popular question is about the use of debt. With interest rates at record lows, but growing concerns over student and consumer debt, there's a debate about whether it's a good idea to pay off debt BEFORE you start investing...or if it makes sense to get started anyway. We’ll tell you what we think. We also address the question of when and how to consider selling your investment property to your current tenant. And lots more... so listen in as listeners Ask The Guys! The Real Estate Guys™ radio show provides real estate investing news, education, training and resources to help real estate investors succeed.

Relationships are one of the most valuable assets a real estate investor has. In our careers, we're thankful for the many great ones we have. We KNOW they're great because we've had some real bad ones to compare them to. In this Thanksgiving edition of The Real Estate Guys radio show, we reflect back on how some of the many people we've known and worked with conducted themselves. Some were (and are) awesome. Others…not so much. Through all of it, we learned there are characteristics and clues to watch for - good and bad. And learning the difference and responding accordingly can make or save you a lot of heartache...and money. So listen in and learn how to recognize a relationship you should treasure or a turkey you should avoid.

Broadcasting from the 41st annual New Orleans Investment Conference, we sit down to chat with Mark Skousen, Peter Schiff and Brien Lundin. Mark Skousen has been named one of the top 20 living economists. He's been writing a successful stock investing newsletter for nearly four decades. And he's a bull. Peter Schiff is a money manager, a multi-time best-selling author, and he famously warned a skeptical world about the 2008 financial crisis...in 2006. He says nothing's fundamentally fixed. In fact, Peter says the next crash will be even bigger than the last one. Some say he’s a bear. Brien Lundin is an expert in gold. He's the producer of the New Orleans Investment Conference and the publisher of a very popular newsletter on precious metal investing. Gold is an alternative to dollars as a store of liquid value. And the gold helps us understand what’s happening with the dollar. So even those you don’t hold gold can benefit from watching it. None of these guys are real estate investors. So they don't look at the world with a real estate bias. We like to visit with them because they help us discover blind spots we might have when we look at real estate. After four days in New Orleans, all our brain cells were fired up. So listen in as we talk about interest rates, the dollar, real estate, gold and what the future holds.

Former Federal Reserve chair Ben Bernanke is taking a victory lap and promoting his new book, The Courage to Act. Meanwhile, ex- Congressman and multi-time Presidential candidate Ron Paul is a well-known long-time critic of the Fed. One thing's for sure - The Fed is the most powerful financial force on the planet. Their decisions affect interest rates, economic activity, investment activity and the price of every product, commodity or service worldwide. Paper asset investors hang on every word the Fed utters...and real estate investors should pay close attention too. Both Ben Bernanke and Ron Paul appeared at separate events in separate cities within days of each other. So The Real Estate Guys decided to split up and cover both. Robert was in Dallas to hear Ron Paul. Russ headed to San Francisco is listen to Ben Bernanke. In this episode we compare notes and reflect on what we heard and how it affects real estate investors. Listen in and decide for yourself - is the Fed a friend….or foe?
