Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast

In this enlightening discussion, Jack Ryan, Founder and CEO of REX Real Estate, shares his insights on the current housing landscape. He dives into the impact of rising interest rates on homeownership versus renting, suggesting renting might be the smarter choice for flexibility and cost. Ryan also tackles the implications of lawsuits against the National Association of Realtors, predicting potential price drops and shifts in agent compensation. The conversation touches on the nuances of real estate commissions and the future of housing markets, making a compelling case for transparency in transactions.

Tax expert Brandon Hall discusses the importance of 100% bonus depreciation for real estate investors. He also covers topics such as qualifying as a real estate professional for tax savings, audit risks, and the differences in tax treatment between short term and traditional rentals.

This is the first of our new “Jumpstart Your Wealth” series to help first-time home buyers and investors jumpstart their real estate experience. And the first topic we’d like to address is “Getting Out of Debt.”  We had an amazing husband-and-wife team on the show last year to talk about their efforts to eliminate debt and get into real estate, so we’re reposting that interview as the first Jumpstart episode.   Meet Ali & Josh Lupo, better known as “The FI Couple.” The FI stands for “financial independence” which they have now obtained. But in this interview you’ll hear what they were up against and how they restructured their financial world to fix that problem and gain financial independence. If you listened to it before, it’s worth listening to again! It’s THAT good!   Ali & Josh talk about their humble beginnings as college students pursuing degrees in social service and a wedding that provided a big wake-up call about their finances. It was bad. They had a whole lot of debt and knew they had to do something about it. You’ll get all the details in this interview along with another important part of their strategy – to make sure they have a shared vision and goals.   You may have seen them on social media. They love to share their experiences on Instagram as The FI Couple and have amassed a huge following. Once you are enchanted by them in this interview, you can find out more at their website www.theficouple.com or @theficouple on Instagram.    My hubby and partner, Rich Fettke, is co-host in this episode. He is a long-time coach who loves to help people realize their dreams and live their best lives. He recently published a book called “The Wise Investor” that also offers lessons about money management and financial freedom. Check it out at Amazon!    Thanks for listening!

The real estate business is not entirely about the housing market. In this episode, we talk about industrial real estate, oil and gas, bringing US companies back home, or what’s known as “reshoring,” and of course, the housing market. But the conversation goes beyond that with talk of economic trends, investment strategies, and our recent RealWealth property tour in San Antonio where investors can get a 4.25% interest rate from the builder. In this episode, you’ll hear from investor and commercial lender Ben Fraser. He has more than a decade of experience in the mortgage business and is the Chief Investment Officer at Aspen Funds, which was co-founded by his father. Before that, Ben served as a commercial lender at First Business Bank and a commercial credit underwriter for Crossfirst Bank. He’s also a seasoned podcaster, and co-hosts the show “Invest Like a Billionaire” with his Dad and his Dad’s Aspen co-founder. ~~~~ JOIN RealWealth® FOR FREE 🏡👇 https://realty.realwealth.com/join-now/ ~~~~ EXPAND YOUR REAL ESTATE KNOWLEDGE AND PORTFOLIO Members have exclusive access to👇 👉Vetted property teams 👉Trusted lenders and lawyers 👉Regular property tours 👉Vetted CPAs and legal  👉Asset protection providers 👉And more! ~~~~ FOLLOW OUR PODCASTS🎤️👇 The Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast https://link.chtbl.com/RWS Real Estate News: Real Estate Investing Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/REN ~~~~ READ BOOKS BY RealWealth FOUNDERS📖👇 The Wise Investor by Rich Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/thewiseinvestorbook Retire Rich with Rentals by Kathy Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/retirerichwithrentals ~~~~ FREE RealWealth EDUCATION & TOOLS👇 RealWealth market reports: https://realwealth.com/learn/best-places-to-buy-rental-property/ RealWealth webinars: https://realwealth.com/thursday-webinars/ RealWealth videos: https://realwealth.com/category/video/ RealWealth Assessment™: https://realwealth.com/assessment/ ~~~~ MORE INFORMATION RealWealth stories: https://realwealth.com/stories/ Become a RealWealth property team: https://realwealth.com/new-team/ Check out our syndications at Grow Developments: https://growdevelopments.com/ ~~~~ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: Kathy: @kathyfettke or  https://www.instagram.com/kathyfettke/ Rich: @richfettke or  https://www.instagram.com/richfettke/ RealWealth: @realwealth or https://www.instagram.com/realwealth/

It’s not easy to find a good investment property in today’s market. Prices and mortgage rates are high, and it can be really difficult to make the numbers work. As a lifelong Californian, Kathy has learned this lesson. It’s just too expensive in California to invest here. So 20 years ago, she started looking in other states and had to evaluate realtors, property managers, renovation teams, and others. With the experience she gained, she launched RealWealth with her husband, Rich, to help other investors find rental properties, and they now have great systems in place to find the best property teams in strong but affordable growth markets. As a more recent addition to the RealWealth crew is a husband-and-wife team who are experienced investors themselves, and are now traveling the country in an RV to vet property teams for our RealWealth investors. Rebekah and Grant have bought, sold and 1031 exchanged all kinds of real estate including single family rentals, short-term rentals, and fix-and-flips. Rebekah was also a real estate agent with her own brokerage, specializing in helping investors buy and sell their properties. Grant bought his first home in college and rented out rooms to friends. Since then, he’s bought many rental properties using the BRRRR method which stands for buy, rehab, rent, refinance, and repeat.  In this episode, you’ll hear about our vetting process, the standards we’ve set for renovations and property management, how builders are giving our investors great deals on properties and loans, and how we maintain that level of quality with our property teams. You’ll even hear about Grant and Rebekah’s unique work/travel situation, and about Chattanooga as one of our newest markets, although it’s still in the vetting process so it’s not yet on our website. If you are a RealWealth member, speak with your RealWealth investment counselor for more information. Until we’ve finished the vetting process, we are recommending Chattanooga for experienced investors only.  If you'd like to find out more about the teams that we have vetted at RealWealth, go to realwealthshow.com. It's free to join and talk to an investment counselor.  ~~~~ JOIN RealWealth® FOR FREE 🏡👇 https://realty.realwealth.com/join-now/ ~~~~ EXPAND YOUR REAL ESTATE KNOWLEDGE AND PORTFOLIO Members have exclusive access to👇 👉Vetted property teams 👉Trusted lenders and lawyers 👉Regular property tours 👉Vetted CPAs and legal  👉Asset protection providers 👉And more! ~~~~ FOLLOW OUR PODCASTS🎤️👇 The Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast https://link.chtbl.com/RWS Real Estate News: Real Estate Investing Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/REN ~~~~ READ BOOKS BY RealWealth FOUNDERS📖👇 The Wise Investor by Rich Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/thewiseinvestorbook Retire Rich with Rentals by Kathy Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/retirerichwithrentals ~~~~ FREE RealWealth EDUCATION & TOOLS👇 RealWealth market reports: https://realwealth.com/learn/best-places-to-buy-rental-property/ RealWealth webinars: https://realwealth.com/thursday-webinars/ RealWealth videos: https://realwealth.com/category/video/ RealWealth Assessment™: https://realwealth.com/assessment/ ~~~~ MORE INFORMATION RealWealth stories: https://realwealth.com/stories/ Become a RealWealth property team: https://realwealth.com/new-team/ Check out our syndications at Grow Developments: https://growdevelopments.com/ ~~~~ FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: Kathy: @kathyfettke or  https://www.instagram.com/kathyfettke/ Rich: @richfettke or  https://www.instagram.com/richfettke/ RealWealth: @realwealth or https://www.instagram.com/realwealth/  

How do large corporations decide what part of the country they should move to or build new facilities? It’s much more than a random recommendation, a sale price, or a gut feeling. They do in-depth studies and often hire expensive consultants because it’s a huge investment and they don’t want to get it wrong.  In this episode, you’ll hear from site selection consultant, John Boyd Jr., who has his finger on development across the nation. John will talk about the site selection process, the exodus from California and where companies are going, challenges in choosing the right location, industries that are driving growth in various parts of the country, and the impact of climate change. He’ll also share some information on a few of the hottest growth markets in the nation today, including an area near San Antonio, Texas. John is at The Boyd Company out of Princeton, New Jersey. It’s one of the most trusted and well-known corporate site selection firms in the nation with clients like Boeing, Chevron, Pratt & Whitney, PepsiCo, Visa International, Shell, Honda Motor Company, Hewlett-Packard, and JP Morgan Chase. John is often invited to speak at conferences and is routinely featured in the global news media to talk about corporate site selection, economic development and the real estate industry.

We are currently acquiring new parcels of land for build-to-rent homes as part of a syndication.

One of the most compelling reasons for owning investment property is the huge amount of money you can save on taxes. So it’s extremely important to understand the kind of tax benefits and deductions available to you.   In this interview, you will hear about cost segregation studies and how they can help you depreciate different components of your properties more quickly. There’s also a bonus depreciation that can amplify those savings, a short-term rental loophole, and how much it might cost to get one of these studies done.   Our guest is a new partner with RealWealth to help our members with cost segregation studies. He has experience in tech leadership roles, business development for fintech companies, and online lending. He’s also a real estate investor with a BA in International Business from Texas State University.   You can find out more about our guest and cost segregation on our website. Just log in to the investor portal as a free RealWealth member and look under resources. You can also take a deeper dive into cost segregation by attending our "Unlock Massive Tax Breaks with Cost Segregation" webinar on July 11th at noon.

The jobs report for May was a surprise to the upside, with 272,000 new jobs. Wage growth also came in hotter than expected. Good news, right? But maybe it’s not so good for the fight against inflation. It stokes fear among Fed officials that inflation could heat up again if they cut interest rates too soon. With so much weight given to those reports, just how accurate are they?  In this episode, José Torres will explain the jobs report and how the data varies depending on the method used to collect the information. As an economist with decades of high-level experience, he’ll share other insights about the economy, inflation, interest rates, mortgage rates, a possible recession, and how all this impacts real estate and the housing market. José Torres is senior economist at Interactive Brokers. Previously he worked as an economist for the US government at the FDIC and the BLS. He also taught economics at the City University of New York and earned a master’s degree in financial economics from West Texas A&M University. He’s given frequent presentations to public officials and private executives and is often asked for interviews by major media outlets in both English and Spanish.

I’ll also be hosting a free webinar with economist John Chang on the housing market next month, on July 25th. You can sign up ahead of time here and we’ll send you a reminder!

Syndicated real estate deals can be complicated and can look like a lot of legal mumbo jumbo, but you CAN make sense of it all with a few good pointers! And that’s what you’re going to get in this interview – a short-but-sweet overview of the syndicated real estate deal in language you can understand. Our guest is a syndication lawyer who will explain things like capital calls and how to deal with them, the difference between a private placement memorandum and an operating agreement, and why it’s so important to look at how the syndicators are defining their terms. One of those oh-so-important terms is the “preferred return.” You definitely want to understand that one!  Attorney Bethany LaFlam describes herself as a seasoned deal lawyer, a conscious wealth creator, a real estate investor, and a mother. She has more than 20 years of experience practicing law and is currently a managing partner for the Premier Law Group, which focuses mostly on real estate syndications and funds. Among other career highlights is Bethany’s first job at a prestigious Los Angeles law firm called Quinn Emanuel. She then launched a boutique law firm in Newport Beach, California, and merged that practice into a firm in Chicago. Her clients have ranged from real estate syndicators and developers to industries involving aerospace, energy, medical services, and technology. If you'd like to put Bethany’s advice into practice, please check out our current syndicated deal in Ridgewater, Oregon. We are building homes there and are offering a 12% preferred return to accredited investors. You can find out more at https://growdevelopments.com Thanks for listening!
