CPA Tom Wheelwright is a Rich Dad Advisor to best selling author Robert Kiyosaki.  Since it’s that time of year when millions of U.S. citizens are dutifully preparing their taxes - and wondering if their affairs are structured properly to avoid paying more than necessary, we dug into the archives to re-visit a conversation we had with Tom in May 2009.  Even though the technical details of the tax code changes from year to year (which is why you need a CPA who understands the unique needs of real estate investors), many of the core principles of taxation remain largely stable.  Tom’s thesis is that successful real estate investing includes running it like a business. What exactly does that mean?  Find out in this ENCORE episode featuring host Robert Helms, co-host Russell Gray and Rich Dad's Tax Advisor CPA Tom Wheelwright.The Real Estate Guysc Radio Show podcast provides education, information, training and resources to help investors make money with their real estate investments.  Learn more and subscribe to the free newsletter at www.realestateguysradio.com

Where is real estate headed in 2011? It's that time of year when we like to take a look at what some of the real estate pundits are predicting for the upcoming year.  Obviously, predicting the future is an inexact science....well, okay...it's actually not science at all.  More like alchemy.  But it's always interesting to see what some of the more notable people think - and why.  It helps stimulate our thinking and holds the prognosticators accountable.  This time next year, we can look back and see who got it right - and for the right reasons.

Financing is the life blood of real estate - especially for investors, builders and re-habbers.  Not only do you have to have money for acquisition, construction or rehab, but you hope your takeout buyer can get a loan to cash you out.  It’s ALL about financing.  But what do you do when conventional financing is hard, if not impossible, to find?  In this episode, The Real Estate Guys™ and their special guest, international real estate developer Beth Clifford, talk about the harsh realities of finding financing when funders aren’t lining up at your door.

Donald Trump may be the most famous “real estate guy” who made it big, lost it all, then made it all back bigger and better than before.  What took him down?  In his book, The Art of the Comeback, the Donald points to two things: complacency and the Tax Reform Act of 1986.  We could do a whole show the importance of playing close attention to things that affect the flow of money into any asset class.
