2349: Massive Housing Demand Opportunity: How Declining Household Sizes and Marriage Rates Drive Real Estate Profits

Jason discusses various economic and cultural trends impacting real estate investment. The core argument revolves around the decline in household size due to factors like lower marriage and fertility rates, the rise of feminism, and government policies like welfare programs, which consequently increases demand for housing units. Jason connects these societal changes to the desire of consumer product companies and taxing authorities to encourage single-person households and divorce to boost sales and tax revenue, respectively. Finally, he strongly advocates for direct investment in real estate over investing in syndications or funds, warning of potential fraud, incompetence, and excessive fees associated with those investment vehicles, citing a recent criminal indictment as an example, and arguing that when correctly calculated, real estate offers superior leveraged returns compared to the stock market or gold.

2347: Co-Living Secrets: Unlocking 37% Annual ROI and 14% Cash-on-Cash Returns

Today's episode is an excerpt from Jason's Wednesday masterclass podcast focusing on co-living as a real estate investment strategy, featuring an expert named Eric Halverson, focusing particularly on the Phoenix market. Jason explains his previous skepticism and newfound confidence in co-living due to the increasing housing shortage and shrinking average household size in the U.S. They highlight the high returns and affordability solutions that co-living offers, particularly for the "working poor," contrasting the current market with the Great Recession. Eric shares his experience in the Atlanta market, discussing the operational mechanics of converting single-family homes into multi-room rentals with weekly payments, emphasizing the strong demand and the limited supply of suitable properties. They strongly advocate for direct investment in leveraged real estate, illustrating how the asset class outperforms others like the S&P 500 and gold when factoring in leverage and tax benefits.

2343: Long-Term Strategies for Ultimate Tax Deferral: Understanding Depreciation, Cost Segregation and Mastering 1031 Exchanges with Jack Evans

Jason addresses investors, first focusing on personal finance issues like taxes then discusses the current state and future of the housing market. He shares optimistic news regarding Federal Reserve rate cuts and the resulting positive impact on housing demand, predicting a surge in potential buyers and subsequent bidding wars due to low inventory. Furthermore, Jason presents data suggesting that existing homeowners are not in distress, indicating that a housing crash is unlikely, and notes that institutional investors are actively acquiring properties. Jason concludes by promoting an upcoming investor JHU event, property tour, and educational session focusing on real estate opportunities, including co-living, and invites listeners to join his Wednesday Masterclass. Jason welcomes Jack Evans, an enrolled agent and founder of Jack's Tax, to discuss tax strategies for real estate investors and the differences between CPAs and enrolled agents. Jack explains that enrolled agents are federally licensed tax professionals who focus on tax law, unlike CPAs who are state-licensed and perform business audits. He argues that enrolled agents may know tax law better than CPAs since they are not distracted by business operations. https://www.jax-tax.com/ #JackEvans #JacksTax #EnrolledAgent #CPA #TaxLaw #TaxCode #RealEstate #RealEstateInvesting #CreatingWealth #Taxes #Depreciation #TaxBenefits #TaxDeduction #LongTermRentals #ShortTermRentals #PassiveIncome #ActiveIncome #CommercialRealEstate #CostSegregation #CostSeg #DepreciationRecapture #CapitalGains #1031Exchange #TaxDeferral #SteppedUpBasis #RefiTillYouDie #CashOutRefi #DST #DelawareStatutoryTrust #OpportunityZones #IRS #TaxStrategies #NonCashWriteOff #Form8582 #BuyAndHold #MaterialParticipation Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 0:00 What is your biggest leak 2:00 Rate cuts! 4:27 I got some personal news 5:22 Chart: Owner RE occupied assets & liabilities 7:44 Institutional investors are buying properties 8:42 Join us at the JHU event JasonHartman.com.Phoenix 10:31 Check our Ai Bot JasonHartman.com/Ai 11:37 Join our Wednesday Masterclasses every second Wednesday of each month JasonHartman.com/Wednesday Jack Evans interview 12:31 Difference between CPAs and EAs 14:15 Meet Jack, depreciation and passive income 20:27 Cost seg studies 23:57 Long term depreciation analysis 28:00 10:31 Exchange benefits 29:35 Beautiful things about real estate and the DST 30:50 Jack's Tips to living the dream 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

2341: The Influence of Charlie Kirk, Housing Shortage, Not Oversupply: Kevin Erdman Debunks the 2008 Great Recession Myth

Sign up for the Jason Hartman University Event this coming September https://www.jasonhartman.com/Phoenix . Jason talks about political violence and media coverage, followed by an analysis of the housing market and recent rate cuts. He introduced various investment opportunities, including co-living properties and home equity investments, while discussing upcoming economic developments and the launch of an AI chatbot tool. He ends with information about upcoming events in Phoenix and encourages listeners to utilize the free AI resource for financial advice and market analysis. Jason then welcomes Kevin Erdmann, author and housing analyst, where he challenges the common belief that an oversupply of housing caused the 2008 Great Recession. Erdman argues that a housing shortage, particularly in coastal regions, led to migration and subsequent demand spikes in other areas like Phoenix and Las Vegas. He attributes the 2008 crisis and the ensuing market collapse primarily to the federal government's tightening of mortgage availability, not an overbuilt market. Erdmann also discusses the current and future state of the housing market, asserting that a significant housing shortage persists and will take many years to resolve, influencing factors like rent inflation, household formation, and even fertility rates. #KevinErdman #HousingShortage #GreatRecession #MortgageCrackdown #RegulatoryCrackdowns #PopulationGrowth #HouseholdFormation #RentInflation #RegionalShortages #MigrationEvent #HousingCrisis #ConstructionTrends #FailureToLaunch #ExpertsAreWrong https://kevinerdmann.substack.com/ Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:27 Charlie Kirk the fascist 4:34 Seek out alternative news source 7:47 Rate cut; a little, too late 9:00 Join us at Phoenix https://www.jasonhartman.com/Phoenix 12:04 Very motivated builders 13:16 https://JasonHartman.com/Ai Kevin Erdmann interview 16:43 The reason we went into a recession 29:56 Sponsor: https://www.monetary-metals.com/Hartman 30:29 What is the state of the housing market currently 39:21 Chart: Housing inventory 47:32 Fertility and singing a different tune by 2040 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

2340 FBF: The Power of Belief with Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler Pioneering Psychologist & Author of 'How Successful People Think Smart'

This Flashback Friday and 10th episode is from Creating Wealth 410, published last September 8, 2014. Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler is a doctor of psychology with over 45 years of pioneering brain/mind research experience. In addition to teaching mind power methods in universities and corporations, she was invited by former President Jimmy Carter to support his Special Commission on Women in Business, was invited to serve as a Pentagon consultant focused on business communications, and has authored over 30 books and hundreds of articles in both business and individual success categories. Unlike other personal development approaches, her focus is on refining brain/mind power to create more successful action. Instead of presenting strategies that never work in the real-world, you'll get genuine science-based information that can be immediately implemented. Learn more by scrolling down the page to check out Dr. Jill's books, audio books, and other materials. In her books, audio books and programs, Dr. Jill Ammon-Wexler provides insights and action plans for every area of your life: from higher states of awareness to personal achievement ... from instant stress management to healthy longevity ... from enhanced mental performance to mind/brain enhancement. Getting more satisfaction in life does not necessarily result from taking the latest personal growth program. True, this set your feet on a more productive path. BUT...true lasting success only happens when you commit to direct your thoughts and actions every day. In other words, your daily mental habits and resulting actions are what help you create the life and business conditions you want. When not writing or teaching, Dr. Jill enjoys artistic pursuits, gardening and being out-of-doors, good conversation, home and garden design, and kayaking and skiing.
