Low interest rates are used to stimulate the economy.  But if you're an income investor, low interest rates are depressing.  There's a BIG difference between getting 4 percent on your savings and only getting 1 percent!  But with so much uncertainty in the economy, how can an investor substantially increase yield without dramatically increasing risk?  Great question! And one that millions of investors are facing right now - so it's the topic of today's episode.  Join hosts Robert Helms and Russell Gray for a highly interesting discussion which will yield some great ideas for investors and syndicators alike.  Plus, there's an interview with a special guest who's found a way to produce high yields without high risk.  This show is sure to "peak" your interest too!  Want more?  Sign up for The Real Estate Guys free newsletter at http://realestateguysradio.com/newsletter-signup/ - and tell a friend!

The financial reform bill redefined who qualifies as an accredited investor.  If you like to pool your money with other people's money so you can get in on bigger deals, there are some new rules to play by.  And if you're syndicating deals, then you REALLY need to be careful - because the effects are immediate.  Join Robert Helms, Russell Gray and the Godfather of Real Estate, Bob Helms as they dive deeply into the deep end of deciphering what all this change really means to real estate investors.  Want more?  Sign up for The Real Estate Guys free newsletter at http://realestateguysradio.com/newsletter-signup/

Protecting your money in today's highly uncertain economy is surely very challenging.  Real estate equity and bank accounts used to be among the SAFEST places to keep your savings.  Today, real estate equity has shrunk and getting access to it is next to impossible.  And with record bank failures even the old saying "sure as money in the bank" seems a little outdated.  Add horribly low interest rates and, to compound the injury, taxes on your meager interest earnings, it's enough to make you wonder what this financial world is coming to. Well, we have good news. There's a new way to look at an old product - one that is time tested and has survived its fair share of economic turmoil.  Join Robert, Russ and the Godfather as they explore the creative uses of life insurance with expert guest Patrick Donohoe.

Steve Forbes is the billionaire CEO of Forbes Magazine and a two time presidential candidate. He’s also an author and outspoken advocate for free market capitalism.  His latest book, How Capitalism Will Save Us, describes his contention that too much government is bad for business.  As real estate guys, we know our properties do better when businesses are hiring (remember when they used to do that?) and our tenants have jobs.  So we’re always interested in finding those places where jobs are being created.  To do so, it’s important we understand what conditions stimulate job growth.  Steve Forbes says he knows the answer.  Any time a billionaire is willing to share their thoughts with us, we’re listening and taking notes.  This is the last in our series of interviews captured at the Freedom Fest conference in Las Vegas.  To stay up to date with The Real Estate Guys, sign up for our free newsletter at www.realestateguysradio.com.
