In this video, I compare investing to cruise ships to teach you why it's so important that you be consistent and steady in order to get to your destination. Building wealth with real estate requires patience and work. And over time your return on your investment begins to compound. That's when you're glad you stayed in the game. The reason why I love rental property as one of the best investments is because it consistently works regardless of the economy. Economics is a relative thing anyways. People will always pay rent. Inflation is working in our favor all the time. It's never a bad time to invest in rental property. Learn More: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Have questions or topics you want me to do a video on?

Why is it important to be a direct investor rather than hire someone to manage your investments? In real estate, it's best to be as close to your investments as possible. Derivatives, a sophisticated financial instrument Wall Street loves to talk about, has many problems. When you get caught up in these types of investments there are so many degrees of separation that you cannot possible have the control you need to build wealth safely. Whenever there is a thing about a thing, there is always someone skimming the cream off the top. If you want to build real wealth you need to maintain control. When you relinquish control you leave yourself susceptible to 3 major problems that I discuss in this video.

Sometimes having a third party standing in the middle of a transaction can make it more difficult to get what you want. Finally, I talk about the pros and cons of low income rental properties that are not receiving government benefits. And is it worth going after someone who damaged your property or didn't pay rent?

Ali Wolf and I analyze home prices, wage growth and how these metrics predict what lies ahead for the economy. We also talk about how builders are mainly building larger homes ever since the recession but that there are more affordable options gradually showing up.

Why can't the economy withstand rates as low as they are today? We've had the short-term rates down for a long time. Ali talks about how the next downturn could be labelled as ""The Fed-Induced Bubble"" Our current economy punishes savers and rewards debtors.

What are the indicators that the economy is slowing? How can we truly predict the next recession? Why is everyone so obsessed with the fed and mortgage rates? The bond investors are going to take federal action into consideration because they say, if the fed does this, what does that mean for the economy? You can forecast out where rates are today looking at the 10 year treasury. We discuss why yields are lower and how when rates go up, that isn't always a bad thing. Then we talk about leading vs. lag indicators of economic slow down. Some metrics only tell you that you're already in a recession but how do you know that one could be coming? We look at consumer confidence and GDP and Nonfarm Payroll.

What are the 2 things that could cause a downturn in the economy? We are on the longest economic expansion on record. That doesn't necessarily mean there has to be a correction soon.

In this interview with Pat Hilban, Jason talks about his favorite markets for investing in rental property. First he discusses the importance of focusing on linear markets, the ones that are very boring and flat, but always stable and consistent. Market corrections don't hit these areas as hard. Then he talks about the US Housing Market, how there is no such thing. Next, he gives examples of hybrid and cyclical markets and how certain places switch.

In this video, we discuss whether you should refinance a 30 year fixed rate loan or do a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). It really depends on your existing interest rate and the current rates. If you can get locked into 30 years with a low rate, that's the way to go. You want to reduce your risk by having more leverage (debt). The higher loan balance offers protection. It may seem counterintuitive but watch more videos to learn the context. We also discuss 1031 Tax Deferred Exchanges. If your a rental property investor, look into that. Lastly, we talk about the GO Zones and the main problems with it.

Many zone programs have failed. What makes the opportunity zone project different? Join my discussion with Steve Glickman. Opportunity zones cover a large part of the country.
