CW 913 - Ron Paul #2 Market Distortion, Inflation, Currency Manipulation & How To Design Your 5-Year Plan

Jason Hartman starts off the show talking with Elisabeth Embry about how she makes her 5-year plans, and why it's important. The 5-year plan contest is still going on, and you can win great prizes and set your future up for success by making one and sharing it with others. Then, Jason continues his conversation with former Congressman Dr. Ron Paul. The two finish up their talk by looking at why the government thinks they're the best option for many aspects in our lives, what would happen if the government got out of the way and prices reverted to normal (rather than the distorted view we're getting today), and why we shouldn't expect to see inflation curbed in the near future (or ever, more likely).

[21:11] Many governmental programs have distorted markets like student loans and housing markets [25:28] Distorted prices and manipulating the currency and tax codes makes people worry about gaining the best tax advantage rather than getting the highest return or providing the most value [28:42] Inflation, from the government and central bank point of view, seems to be a great business plan Websites: www.JasonHartman.com/Contest www.JasonHartman.com/Masters www.RonPaulLibertyReport.com

CW 911 FBF - The Potential Perils of Using Your Buy and Hold Properties As Short Term Rentals

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 563, from September 2015. If you are using your buy and hold properties as short term rentals, through a company like AirBnB, you may be required to pay an additional 15.3% self employment tax.

Key Takeaways Jason's Editorial: [2:04] The huge flaw in Airbnb [3:10] The passing of Dr. Wayne Dyer [4:14] The female perspective [5:40] Positive Feedback from the 1st Jason Hartman University [7:39] Save the Date for the next Meet the Masters in early January 2016 [9:30] The Venture Alliance Rhode Island trip details Brandon Hall Guest Interview: [15:02] Airbnb investors also have a 15.3% tax on active income [16:13] Monetizing the value of your time [16:44] Automated business systems allow me manage my real estate in only 30 min per month [19:01] It's more time and labor intensive than a buy and hold property [21:50] A complicated scenario in setting up short term rentals [24:49] Short term rentals may earn more but the time is not factored in [25:45] Schedule E or Schedule C? [27:47] The IRS may be bringing on the audits [29:33] A 5 year depreciation schedule [31:05] The diminimous safe harbor [33:23] 500 material participation is solely for rental properties [36:06] An example of a three unit qualifier for material participation [37:53] Long distance self management is possible and maybe easier [39:35] Segmented depreciation, cost segregation using a sears catalog [42:41] Feasibility studies are expensive [44:43] Everybody needs a home office Mentions: YourErroneousZones JasonHartman reviews@jasonhartman.com EO HallCPALLC
