SimplePassiveCashflow.com/club Pardon the grammar - I'm an Engeneer, Enginere, Engenere... I'm good with math! ________Here are the Show Notes________Just got back from Korea after my first vacation for the year. I wrote an article that you can get access by signing up for the monthly newsletter or via the Hui Deal Pipeline club.Monthly updates and what I’m doing in my own investingPodcasts have been piling up and I realized the need to add some context to the introductions to highlight important items to look out for. Also to call out opinions I don’t really believe in.This podcast I had Brent Southerland what is a CFP but not one of those other quacks who get paid on commision and try to stuff you in whatever is most convenient or biggest paycheck for yourself.SimplePassiveCashflow.com/fpEnjoy and remember to go to SimplePassiveCashflow.com/club to join our investment clubBrent Sutherland is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner, with over 11 years experience in financial services.  With stops in the corporate accounting and investment world, and now the boutique financial planning arena Brent has witnessed, firsthand, how the financial services industry has fashioned itself into an overly complex machine in an effort to cause confusion, encourage mistakes, and justify fees; all to better benefit its own bottom line.  He believes there is a strong correlation between financial noise and financial mistakes which further delay one's personal financial success.Therefore, his objective is to help individuals turn off the noise and challenge the traditional approach to financial planning and thinking.  In his experience as a financial advisor and personal finance enthusiast (+ early retirement advocate + semi-minimalist + real estate investor), Brent has found that most often the simplest solutions and some outside the box thinking will better help individuals on their way towards sitting firmly in the driver's seat of their own financial world.Why don't financial advisors advocate for real estate investing?Primary = Compensation conflicts of interestSecondary = Lack of education, so pose it as a risky assetSecondary = ERISA and how mutual funds came about with employer-sponsored 401kHow do FA make money? Similar to MLM? -- (Is this short for multi-level marketing?)Can tie this into the first topic above (compensation conflict, which is a primary reason why FA’s don’t discuss real estate investing)Hidden fees in even low got mutual funds?Transaction fees, Management fees (can be tiered based on assets), Loads (front-end, back-end), 12-b1 feesWhat tricks do FA use?Use of traditional planning items related to portfolio to justify: “security”, “diversification”Use of confusion terms related to portfolio to justify fees:  “alpha”, “sharpe ratio”Use of graphics that show market returns (absent fees), but fail to discuss emotional impact on client and true returns normally witnessedThe importance of income diversification over portfolio diversificationIncome diversification protects against big risks:  loss of job, market crash, injuryPortfolio diversification is important, but is a secondary risk.  Savings is even more important.Why are paper assets more risky than hard assets?Always going to be demand for hard assets, especially real estate (living, production)Population trends are growing at an exponential rate, land and resources are notYou have more control over real estate; meanwhile the stock market is out of your handsWhy passive cash flow betters your odds of financial independenceGets you to the point where you’re truly secure and can have peace of mind.  Not worried about your boss/job, and not worried about things going on the the world, country, state (etc) economies that are out of your control.  You become the boss of your personal economy.Talk about your personal transition to direct ownership in Real estate and recovering from the lies?Seeing it work for other people, educating myself (independent of my traditional “education”), and finally making the move to buy my first property (after some analysis paralysis and fear)Proper planning techniques to access money tied up in your retirement accounts.First know the rules involved (traditional IRA/401k versus Roth IRA/401k), as you don’t want to just hand a big chunk to Uncle Sam in form of taxes and fees.Impact of cashing out plansStrategies to more efficiently free up that money and keeping more in your pocket (Roth conversions, Substantially Equal Periodic Payments (IRS Code 72t))What to look for in a FA?Want someone who is fee-only (hourly or per service) and planning focused.  Someone who is focused solely on managing your money for a % fee is going to always have a biased interest in moving you towards a liquid/paper portfolio).Find someone who lines up with your values and interests.  Never be afraid to interview multiple people and ask tough questions.  Advisor should have conviction in what they do.Understand that a financial planner can be very valuable, as there is much more to financial planning than how you invest your money (insurance, estate, education needs all need to work in harmony with an investment plan to best meet a person’s financial goals), but imperative that that financial planner is on the same page as you.brent@ntellivest.com Hosted on Acast.

SimplePassiveCashflow.com/clubPardon the grammar - I'm an Engeneer, Enginere, Engenere... I'm good with math!________Here are the Show Notes________Aside from blog, owns 15 rental properties in Northern Colorado generating $7K/mo passive income.Harder to cash flow around Denver. Looking out-of-state.Since Sept 2015, has not purchased new SFH. Focusing on commercial, flipping, which was best use of time.Always demand for low-end flips (less risk v. high-end).Write own goals, don't rely on other people, and think differently to develop himself.Don't C.E.F. - especially if you're not a contractor.Some opportunities in purchasing primary residential properties, but not going to stay there forever.If you want to be creator and sell houses full-time, get a real estate license. If part-time, not really recommeneded unless you own a couple properties already and can expend time.Goals for more passive income ($100k/mo) and freedom = happy. Change your mindset and try. Otherwise, you're stuck where you are (ex: frugal). What's your motivation and dreams?Let people drink their haterade.Tough to let go, but happier to save time by hiring out on blog, website, e-mail, property management, etc. Not a tech-savvy guy, but build blog and all that SEO!Wished more good people to hire directly instead of 3rd parties.Don't force yourself to buy something - especially in a sellers market. Are you taking action that's getting closer to your goals or treading water? Take time for yourself.Always lot of stuff to do, but don't stress about it. A couple mistakes or not getting things done will not ruin you. First blog comment was fulfilling. Drives motivation on how to help give back to others.
