2367: This Week in Real Estate: What Every Investor Must Know Now

Michael Zuber and Jason Hartman, are forecasting economic and housing trends for 2026. They discuss several key variables, including the unemployment rate, which Hartman predicts will slightly increase due to automation and artificial intelligence, but argues this will ultimately lead to greater prosperity and new industries. The conversation then shifts to interest rates, with Jason expressing optimism for rates hovering around six percent, partly due to the Federal Reserve's move back into quantitative easing (QE), which he believes will positively impact the housing market by increasing credit availability. They anticipate modest GDP growth and increased home sales volume for 2026, rejecting crash scenarios and predicting home price appreciation of around 3-4%. They conclude by affirming that inflation is the government's likely strategy to manage massive debt, which they see as a hidden wealth creator for real estate investors through inflation-induced debt destruction. #2026EconomicVariables #UnemploymentU3 #RisingUnemployment #AIandAutomation #IncreasedProductivity #InsatiableWants #EconomicProsperity #LuxurySectors #SpasAndMedSpas #CarAsAService #LowerInterestRates #QuantitativeEasing #MoneySupply #MortgageCreditAvailabilityIndex #HousingLockinEffect #AffordableHousing #NoForeclosureCrisis #MBSBuyingGameChanger #ScarceInventory #HousingPriceAppreciation #GDPBullish #ResilientEconomy #TheConsumer #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #RealEstateWealthCreation Key Takeaways: 1:43 Where do you think these things go in 2026 9:39 Money supply and Quantitative Easing (QE) 13:46 GDPs and Recession calls 15:39 A crash in transactions versus price 17:58 The consumer 19:14 6 Ways to get out of this mess Transcript HERE Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

2365: 465% ROI: Why Single-Family Homes Crush the S&P 500 and Gold | Client Case Study with Jay VonLehman

Today, Jason talks about the power of leverage and real estate investment. A core argument is presented through comparative returns, illustrating that leveraging single-family homes yields a superior return on investment compared to the S&P 500 and gold, driven by the host's "inflation-induced debt destruction strategy." He also touches upon a housing shortage, limited inventory, and the Federal Reserve's rate cut, which is expected to further increase home prices. Finally, Jason encourages listeners to become direct investors and "buy some houses and rent them out," criticizing more complex investment vehicles like syndications and the stock market as deals where only the promoters profit significantly. Jason then welcomes client Jay Von Lehman, a former Army engineer officer turned real estate investor, who discussed his investment journey from reading Rich Dad Poor Dad in 2013 to his current focus on gold investments through Monetary Metals. They explored the economic benefits of real estate and precious metals investments, particularly in the context of inflation and currency devaluation, while also discussing the government's stance on cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin. They conclude with a discussion about the current real estate market conditions and the benefits of self-managing properties across multiple states, with Jay sharing his experience managing properties remotely. #RealEstate #Leverage #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #AssetAppreciation #SingleFamilyHomes #IncomeProperty #TaxFavoredAssetClass #FedRateCut #MoneyPrinter #HousingShortage #ShadowDemand #EconomicBoom #GDPGrowth #TechnologyBoom #AI #MonthsOfSupply #DirectInvestor #StopOvercomplicatingIt #BuyHousesRentThemOut #MasterClass #ClientCaseStudy #PasadenaCalifornia Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:58 Join our FREE Masterclass every second Wednesday of each month.

2363: Men on Strike: Why This Monumental Social Topic Impacts Real Estate and Household Formation with Helen Smith PhD

Jason sets the stage for an interview with Helen Smith, Ph.D., author of Men on Strike, emphasizing the book's wide-ranging impact on household formation and real estate investing. Shifting focus, Jason predicts a new, accommodative Federal Reserve chair who will promote "easy money" and lead to lower rates and increased mortgage credit availability. This policy change is expected to release significant pent-up market demand, driving appreciation as millions of potential buyers enter the limited housing stock. Furthermore, Jason observes that the previously soft apartment market is firming up, which should put upward pressure on single-family rental rates. Finally, he invites listeners to register for a free master class detailing how to secure up to $250,000 in credit to achieve substantial builder discounts through a delayed financing strategy. Then Jason welcomes clinical and forensic psychologist Helen Smith as they discuss her book "Men on Strike" and its exploration of men's disengagement from society, including its impact on marriage and family dynamics. Smith shares insights from her new book "His Side" about men's challenges and experiences, particularly regarding societal expectations and legal issues, while also discussing the "Trad Wife" movement and the changing landscape of gender roles. They conclude with Smith highlighting the importance of male spaces and camaraderie, while addressing concerns about risk-taking behaviors and the evolving nature of relationships in contemporary society.

2362 FBF: Why Real Estate is Still A Better Option Than Stocks

This Flashback Friday is from episode 484, published last March 02, 2015. Jason and mortgage expert Randy champions the superior wealth-building capacity of real estate compared to the stock market. They center on the strategic use of leverage and the concept of inflation-induced debt destruction to dramatically boost investor returns, arguing that financing a property far outweighs the benefits of owning it free and clear. Specialized mortgage options available through companies like B2R and First Key are examined, as these lenders uniquely cater to investors by offering financing to entities like LLCs and permitting loan-to-value ratios up to 75%. These non-agency loans require strict adherence to a Debt Coverage Ratio (DCR) of 1.2 or higher, ensuring properties generate substantial positive cash flow before being approved for debt that is intentionally utilized to outsource risk to the bank. They conclude that despite common misinformation from financial gurus, actively managed income property remains the best path to financial freedom.
