Greetings still from Ecuador, which is on an elevation of 12,000 feet! Today Jason talks about another bank run and how this puts massive inflationary pressure on the entire economic system. He also talks about how new home sales proves Wall Street was wrong- saying low housing inventory is “fake news” and even how the MLS’ Active listings since 1982 chart confirms this! And Jason interviews Adam LeBor, author of the book “Tower of Basel.” Adam takes us on a journey to uncover the history of the Bank for International Settlements, also known as the Tower of Basel. He explores the power and influence of this mysterious institution, which is said to be the central bank of the world’s central banks. Through interviews with experts and a deep dive into historical events, Adam gives us insight into the inner workings of the bank, its role in the global financial system, the complexities of the international banking system and the forces that shape it. Key Takeaways: Jason’s editorial 1:28 Greetings from an elevati

Blame Boreas, Cleon and Electra for a slowdown in housing on the East coast this winter. According to a new Bloomberg report, those harsh winter storms may have accounted at least partly for a slowdown in housing activity on the East Coast. And that points up one of Jason Harman’s key strategies fro investing success: diversify. For people living in the East and Midwest, the New Year brought a series of extreme winter storms that walloped the area with subfreezing temperatures, snow and ice storms. Named after figures in Greek and Roman mythology, these weather fronts scooped up polar air and whipped it with high winds to create a “polar vortex” that was even visible from space. These storms affected every aspect of life in the affected areas, so it’s no surprise that they could put a dent in the housing recovery too. Sales of existing homes fell in January 2014 to levels not seen in over a year, and experts say weather most likely played a significant role in the slowdown in some areas. It’s not the first ti

The first key to understanding inflation is to recognize the difference between real and nominal. If you think about a physical $100 bill, it is easy to understand that 50 years ago, it was still a $100 bill. We called it the same thing, it looked (mostly) the same when you held it in your hands. But it was the same in a nominal way—in name only. A $100 bill did not buy the same amount of things 50 years ago. Instead, the value fluctuates constantly. Recently, you may have noticed examples of fluctuating prices in places like shopping malls. While holiday sales used to happen after the holiday, retailers now offer price saving opportunities before the holiday, despite the fact that it cuts into their bottom line.  We’re entering a different economic time. It is also important to distinguish between price and value. Temporary appreciation of money is great—but it should be taken advantage of with an attention to time. Money that is more valuable in the short term should be immediately exchanged for packaged co

Gold prices are on the upswing again after months of slumping, and the precious metals market is once again teasing investors with the promise of big gains – fast. But the nature of that kind of investing means that while investors may make money, it’s a bit of instant gratification that has little to offer for the long term. And that’s what makes real estate the investing gift that keeps on giving – as long as you don’t treat it like gold. Precious metals investing offers investors the chance to make a profit, sometimes very substantial, if they sell quickly when the price is right. But as Shawn Watkins of Investing Workshops explains it, once the deal is done, what profit an investor makes is static. In order to make more money, it’s necessary to buy more gold –at a price that may be very different. And that gold isn’t going to be working for an investor: yielding a regular annual return, or earning tax breaks and credits. Real estate can – as long as you don’t treat it like gold. House flipping – buying re

Jason Hartman gets nervous when homes in his neighborhood start making dramatic leaps in price. Why, you ask? It’s because equity makes him nervous. Should a natural disaster come along, the homeowner is in trouble. It’s a lot of responsibility. If you’ve got an employee working for you and he or she is lazy, you’ll likely fire them. Treat your money the same way—get rid of the lazy money, or put it to work. Consider refinancing and buy more rental properties with the money you make. Refi additional loans too. Get a fixed rate mortgage. Don’t get scared or worried if you have your property evaluated and notice that it fluctuates in value—the cost of improvement and the cost of land both go up. But the most significant risk is in areas of high land value, where dramatic appreciation can happen. There is high risk in high land value. As an investor, you simply avoid markets where this is the case. Think of it this way—Jason purchased a home in Georgia for $159,000 and the insurance company said that they’re ins

If you’ve been listening to Jason Hartman for long, you’ve probably heard him say that he’s not an optimist, but an opportunist. Time, Mother Nature, and Government operate largely independently of us as individuals, so rather than lament the destruction that each of them can cause, we recommend finding ways to make them work in your favor. Time You’ve probably noticed that most people have too much life left at the end of their money, and not the other way around. People are living longer and healthier, which means more money is required. As an investor, longevity can really work in your favor. As we continue to live longer, the government prints more money to sustain us. This causes inflation-induced debt destruction. Essentially, the value of our debts are destroyed—increasing the value of commodities (which make up our income properties). Times, they are a’changin—in your favor! Mother Nature Natural disasters continue to happen and create chaos and catastrophe. They displace people, destroy businesses, a

Smartphones and tablets, iPhone, iPad and Android – mobile devices are the heirs of the home computer, making it possible to do business anywhere and everywhere. There’s an app for virtually every need, including investing and managing investment properties. Here’s a rundown of five handy apps, mostly free, from leading app stores for investors on the go. The Landlord AppFor purchase on both the iPhone and Android devices, this app allows landlords to keep track of tenants, rental payments and other expenditures. The app can also provide updates on property values and home prices, and help check backgrounds of prospective tenants. AroundMeFree for iPhone and Android, AroundMe tracks properties around a user’s rentals for changing property values, availability for purchase and rent, and much more. Users can also create a customized profile for their own interests and needs. CreditKarmaThis free credit-checking app for iPhone allows users to perform credit checks on the spot and track accounts over time. Since

Mobile shopping is the new online shopping. As smartphones and tablets consume an ever-growing piece of the cyberspace consumer economy, it’s easier than ever to make the same kinds of transactions on the go as you would on a home computer. And, of course, that means that it’s also just as easy to fall prey to a variety of scams aimed at pirating identities and bank accounts. Newer mobile devices make it possible to do an unprecedented range of financial business away from home. It’s possible to scan checks for deposit to a bank account, order and pay for goods from online merchants, and even accept cretin card payments for services rendered. But the very ease of doing business this way makes mobile transactions particularly vulnerable. Use Trustworthy AppsMobile devices rely on apps, short for applications, that allow for connections to online locations. Although apps for online buying, banking and many other functions are available from a variety of sources, fraud experts recommend getting your mobile apps

Investing your money is a financial decision you want to have confidence in, and even more confidence in the person who is handling your money. There are several con artists targeting their prey on new investors, making it hard to detect a scam from a good opportunity. By following these seven financial decision tips and advice you will know what to look for and how to avoid an investment scam. Check Credentials & Background. First off your broker should be a Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP) professional. You can verify the validity of his registration at www.cfp.net. Ask for reference checks for your protection. Background checks are completely acceptable and highly recommended when doing business with an investor. Verify their character and the way their operations are performed. You can always check up on your investment manager, requesting a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) Broker Check network, available online. Seek Outside Resources. Several illegal investments are operated in th

What’s a New Year without a list of resolutions aimed at doing things better than last year? Whether you’re resolving to lose weight, shape up or abolish a bad habit or two, a few investing resolutions just might make 2014 a more prosperous year. Inspired by Jason Hartman’s 10 Commandments of Real Estate Investing, here are a few to consider. 1. Become Better EducatedResolve to become a more savvy investor in 2014 by learning more about investing in general and your investments in particular. That way you’re more able to make smart decisions and identify questionable advice and advisors. Investing knowledge can be acquired through courses, research or sharing with other investors, often for free. 2. Take Control of Your InvestmentsMake the decision to invest directly – and retain all the decision making power where your investments are concerned. The confidence to do this comes largely from Resolution Number One: become better educated about the investing process so you’ll be able to make good decision withou

The HOA (Homeowners Association) is considered a non-profit entity organized to maintain the integrity and value of a particular community, not to mention their collection to monthly or annual dues. However the primary purpose of this organization is to comfort their community by addressing all matters and making adjustments to resident concerns. Most likely an HOA neighborhood requires membership for all homeowners, without the choice to decline these services or payments. However, not all investors or tenants view HOA as a good idea, therefore we came up with a list of a few pros and cons of HOA to let you decide what’s more important to your investment and residence. Pros: Services - Many HOAs provide services to community members, such as lawn care, street sweeping and trash pick-up. These are all jobs you won’t have to consider hiring a third party to do or find time to do yourself. Maintenance - HOAs are in control of maintaining all common areas within the neighborhood, including lawns, tennis court

At least we know how to benefit from this mess rather than get burned like virtually everybody else… One of the positions of Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul that mainstream pundits find “wacky” is his call to abolish the Federal Reserve System. Never mind that two Nobel Prize-winning economists — both libertarians — called for the same thing. And never mind that the Fed is the entity directly responsible for the debasement of the dollar over the many decades since the Fed was established. Both Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek called for the abolition of the Fed during their careers. While Friedman spent much of his life advocating externally imposed constraints on the Fed’s power to expand the money supply, his first wish was to have the Fed abolished, as he pointed out in a 1995 Reason magazine interview. In his book Denationalisation of Money: An Analysis of the Theory and Practise of Concurrent Currencies, Hayek advocated a free-market monetary system of competing currencies. Most Americans p

Do you have what it takes to be a successful investor? There’s no shortage of guides attempting to define those key characteristics and behaviors that separate successful investors – those who build the financial future of their dreams – from those who never quite get there. Investing is a kind of entrepreneurship, and the key qualities of a successful entrepreneur in any field dovetail nicely with Jason Hartman’s 10 Commandments for Investors to define what’s most important for running your own venture. Willingness to Be Open and CuriousEntrepreneurs of any kind are interested in new opportunities and new avenues to explore. The familiar and tried and true don’t interest them. Curiosity drives them to see if they can do more, break new ground, or experience a new situation. The “what-if” question is the most important: what would happen if I . . . Willingness to Take RisksA willingness to take risks – in some measure – is important to entrepreneurial success. That doesn’t mean behaving irresponsibly, but it

In our last podcast, we discussed the impending and ongoing financial crisis—the $6 trillion time bomb tick-tocking over our head. And, while we wish debt and the promise of crazy inflation was the only problem we face, it is unfortunately but one of the problems. The way Jason Hartman sees it, there are three big threats to our financial life and freedom to be wary of. The first is the financial services industry, which you may know as Wall Street. The second is the government, which has been hijacked via people like lobbyists and does little to stop the financial corruption on Wall Street, instead televising trials that do little more than offer a slap on the wrist. Finally, the Federal Reserve contributes to the financial problems of our country by continuing to print outrageous amounts of money. It sounds hopeless, but Jason Hartman has a few ideas that begin with focusing on what is happening in the real, actual economy. The real demands of 6.5 billion people living on this planet.
