This means higher mortgage rates, car payments, increased credit card debt - will this stop inflation or will it crash the economy first? After all, raising rates doesn't help other aspects of high prices. What about supply chain? What about consumer demand? Find out in today's episode!

Event-based investing is not only scary, but dangerous. Is your investment - like a stock or a property - contingent on the SALE of that asset? If so, how do you know what your returns will ACTUALLY be and where they ACTUALLY come from?  Nobody has a crystal ball into the future. There are common metrics like expense ratios and ROIs that help us gauge how much an investment is worth. But are you filling in your equation with facts, or speculation?  Find out in today's episode!

Why do the rich keep getting richer? There are so many "theories" and hypotheticals when it comes to this topic. Most of it is steeped in resentment, hatred, and ignorance. Very few millionaires inherited the wealth they have, and the ones that do usually end up wasting it. So what's with the hatred? In this episode, we're discussing three reasons why the rich are actually keeping their money and getting wealthier by the second.

It’s currently July, a little over halfway through an incredible year, and we’re about to close on another MASSIVE real estate deal. The team is doing well, my family is doing well, so why do I feel so down and unmotivated? In this episode, we discuss how our results can sometimes be the enemy of our progress. The way we look at success is different from person to person, but we need to make sure that no matter what, we’re celebrating our victories, no matter how big or small! -------- Get more free resources here: https://ajosborne.com/ Get my Amazon best-selling book The Investors Guide to Growing Wealth in Self-Storage for FREE: https://selfstorageincome.com/ Invest with me: https://cedarcreekwealth.com

The collapse of the housing market in 2008 left a bad taste in many people's mouths when it comes to recessions and the real estate market. It's now 2022, and the housing market is back up in the air, and there are a lot of "gurus" online saying it will crash again much like 2008. How will home affordability change in the next few months or the next few years? Are the federal reserve's higher mortgage interest rates going to cause the "bubble" to pop? Additionally, will the changes in the economy really cause another recession? In this episode, we discuss some of the data I recently posted over on Instagram. There were a lot of people in the comments having an emotional reaction to what I was saying despite all the data I presented. So let's talk about it!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!  It’s pretty amazing to think about how many amazing guests we’ve had here on the podcast. Out guest today is no different and I couldn’t be more excited to welcome her. We have the Invest Diva herself - Kiana Danial!  Kiana, like so many of us entrepreneurs, was fired from her job on Wall Street and shortly after began her investing journey. She started in 4X trading/high risk trading and it just didn’t fit her lifestyle, overall goals, and wasn’t the kind of passive investing she wanted to be doing.   So what was next?  Kiana shares her investing journey and what she’s learned along the way. We talk about investment options, risks, and specific investment tools that she has used to build wealth and financial freedom.  Get ready to take notes on this one and soak up every ounce of value you can from this incredible episode.  Keep up with Kiana the Invest Diva:  https://investdiva.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/investdiva/?hl=en Thanks everybody!  AJ You can also find the AJ Osborne Podcast on:  iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aj-osborne-podcast/id1466437301 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Py4hxvj5Yh1rRpat7mkro?si=5cd7f293c3fd416c Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/cash-flow-2-freedom Be sure to keep up with me on the AJ Osborne website:  https://ajosborne.com/ You can also follow and keep up with me on social media:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajosborne/ Interested in Self Storage Investing?

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!    We’re living in some pretty interesting times - inflation, rising interest rates, social and political friction, volatile markets here in the US and globally, all coming off the back end of a long economic cycle of nothing but massive prosperity.    What does this mean for our businesses and our investments? What should we be doing to help adjust for these rapidly changing times? What does the future look like? These are all great questions and one’s you should be asking.    Truth is, there will always be a storm. Today, tomorrow, you never know exactly when or how the storm will hit or how long it will last. Yes there are some indicators and things we can look out for, but all said and done, these macro level economic drivers are things we have absolutely no control over. Unfortunately so many investors and business owners have banked on these uncontrollable factors playing out. They banked on the market to make them, and that’s a massive risk. We’ve experienced a long run of nothing but sunshine and huge gains, we’re talking 10+ years. The owners and investors who have planned on nothing but sunshine will soon find out the hard way that the sun doesn’t always shine.    No matter what point we’re at in a cycle, no matter the business or the deal - I’m always planning for the storms and I’ll never expect the market to do anything. I want to have as much control over my wealth and financial freedom as possible. I’m sure you want the same thing.    Right now today, I’m buying more deals than I ever have and growing my business faster than I ever have and very little of my decision making has to do with the general markets or economy. A deal is always a deal. So today, I’m going to share with you exactly what I’m looking at, and how I’ve continued to invest, grow, and scale rain or shine.  Thanks everybody,  AJ You can also find the AJ Osborne Podcast on:  iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aj-osborne-podcast/id1466437301 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Py4hxvj5Yh1rRpat7mkro?si=5cd7f293c3fd416c Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/cash-flow-2-freedom Be sure to keep up with me on the AJ Osborne website:  https://ajosborne.com/ You can also follow and keep up with me on social media:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajosborne/   Interested in Self Storage Investing?

Welcome back everyone to the AJ Osborne Podcast!   Honestly, my guest today needs little introduction if you’ve been in and around the real estate industry, or if you’ve watched real estate reality TV show Flip or Flop. My guest today is Tarek El Moussa.    As with most of us who are drawn to real estate investing - Tarek was frustrated with his career, was tired of making little to no money, having little to no control over his life, and decided that real estate was the path to achieve the life he’d always wanted. But, as we so often find, his success didn’t happen overnight.    We dive into Tarek’s story, how he found real estate, how to deal with defeat, and his bumpy path to success.    There are a number of key fundamentals to achieving success - Tarek touches on many of them and shares some incredible insight into how to truly become successful.    Keep up with Tarek:    Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealtarekelmoussa/reels/?hl=en   Tarekbuyshouses.com   Temcaptial.co Thanks everybody,  AJ You can also find the AJ Osborne Podcast on:  iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aj-osborne-podcast/id1466437301 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Py4hxvj5Yh1rRpat7mkro?si=5cd7f293c3fd416c Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/cash-flow-2-freedom Be sure to keep up with me on the AJ Osborne website:  https://ajosborne.com/ You can also follow and keep up with me on social media:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ajosborne/ Interested in Self Storage Investing?
