Learning real estate investing is a lot more than just understanding contracts, financing and lease agreements.  Technical knowledge is important, but easily obtained, while "soft skills" (attitudes, habits and beliefs), inner drive, and the right team of advisors, vendors, staff and friends are arguably even more important, yet much more elusive.  As your intrepid hosts, we trot around the globe (mostly the Western Hemisphere), talking to the smartest, most experienced people we can find.  And fortunately for you, we take our microphones along so we can bring all this fabulous knowledge back to you!  In this episode, we talk to two different real world real estate investors from two different markets.  Listen in as we sit down with in Memphis with real estate entrepreneur Terry Kerr, and then during the commercial break, jet out to Las Vegas where we connect with our faithful Oregon based buy and hold listener, Craig Horton.  Learn how they got started, what they're doing today and some of the most important lessons they learned along the way.  The Real Estate Guys™ radio show provides real estate investing news, education, training and resources to help real estate investors succeed.  To learn more and subscribe to the free newsletter, visit www.realestateguysradio.com

When the quality of the currency is questionable, it's critical to be extra careful when selecting markets and property types.That sounds good, but what does it mean in the real world?The answer isn't short, but it's very common sense once you hear it.  And we get the lessons from some unlikely guests. First we visit with Frank Trotter, President of Everbank Direct. As a banker who deals not only in dollars, but in a variety of currencies, he has a unique perspective on how resources such as oil affect the stability of currencies.  And yes, there is a very important lesson in there for real estate investors. Our next guest is Mark Bragg of Shadowrock Farms.  Mark draws attention to food as one of the most important resources of all.  And once again, there is a very interesting real estate play involved.

Special guests Peter Schiff and Ty Andros share economic insights in our fourth and final installment of August and the Economy.  Peter has become widely renowned for his independent perspectives on what ails the American economy and what it will take to fix it.  He contends regularly with mainstream media pundits and has an impressive ability to predict major economic trends.Ty Andros also manages money and is very outspoken in his views - and deep concerns - about U.S. monetary policy and the future of the dollar.  He strongly advocates storing wealth in something other than dollars.  Of course, we like real estate, but then again, we are biased!Both men are well versed and influential on economic and financial matters.  With the credit downgrade, jobless "recovery", lingering foreclosure mess and the upcoming presidential elections, all eyes (and ears) are watching the economy.  And since the best tenants have jobs with steady paychecks, it behooves serious real estate investors to pick markets and property types most likely to prosper in uncertain times. That means watching - and understanding - the economics behind markets, currencies and demographics.  Of course, we've learned that when uncertainty abounds, those who study harder and think more deeply are better able to take effective action, while those who don't are stuck waiting and wondering about what will happen.  We say that "Think and Do" is better than "Wait and See".  So listen in to find out what two these two big brains are thinking.  Then think for yourself and take appropriate action to grow and protect your wealth.
