2306 FBF: Free Markets vs Big Government with Steve Forbes Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Media and Author of ‘Freedom Manifesto’
This Flashback Friday is from episode 302, published last February 25, 2013. Jason Hartman is joined on this episode by Steve Forbes, the editor in chief of Forbes Media, to propose and attempt to answer the question: Why does government get bigger and bigger when we know it doesn’t work well? Mr. Forbes states that history proves free markets work for the people, while big and over-reaching government is about meeting its own needs. In his book, Freedom Manifesto: Why Free Markets Are Moral and Big Government Isn’t, coauthored with Elizabeth Ames, the authors delve into historic events and statistics, showing that in every instance, big government promotes favoritism, stifles economic growth, dumbs down education, and creates an atmosphere of “rigidity and scarcity.” At the same time, it opens the door to corruption. Mr. Forbes discusses the benefits of economic freedom, which promotes creativity and growth. Jason and Mr. Forbes also talk about current economic issues, including the bubbles that the Fed continues to create in the bond market and housing. “When government undermines money, bad things happen,” laments Mr. Forbes. “When government says it’s here to help, watch out!” 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

2305: The US Economic Ponzi Scheme: Avoiding Collapse and the Path to Stability with Les Rubin
Today Jason covers a few key real estate investing strategies. He emphasizes the importance of leveraging properties with high loan balances for inflation-induced debt destruction and better insurance claim handling. He advises against paying off mortgages, highlighting tax benefits and the "refi till you die" plan. He introduces the concept of a "perpetual motion machine" in real estate, using cash flow from existing properties to acquire more, similar to a leveraged buyout and the "flywheel" effect. He stresses persistence despite challenges, sharing his early struggles and the long-term benefits of income property investing. Then Jason and Les Rubin discuss the critical issues of entitlements, government size, and the tax code in relation to US economic stability. They explore the potential of converting Social Security to private accounts and the challenges of reforming the current entitlement programs, acknowledging the need for public education and a shift in attitude. Lastly, they sounded the alarm about the dangerous economic path the country is on, warning of the potential collapse of the economy and the future consequences for future generations.

2304 FBF: Nominal Dollars vs Real Dollars & Understanding Investor Psychology with Investment Counselor Sara
This Flashback Friday is from episode 304 published last Mar 6, 2013. Jason talks with investment counselor, Sara, about investor psychology, overcoming obstacles and getting out of our own way. The smoke-and-mirrors propaganda perpetuated by mainstream media (lamestream media as Sarah Palin says) in reporting the new high in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA). They almost always fail to distinguish between nominal dollars and real dollars. Jason illustrates how investors have actually lost money in inflation adjusted dollars and how the Dow has to increase a lot more before investors break even based on the two peaks. This lie is even worse when one considers how inflation is underreported in the consumer price index (CPI and CPI-U) due to weighting, substitution and hedonics (the hedonic index). Another misrepresentation is the 'core rate' or 'core inflation' which strips out food and energy because they're too volatile.

2303: Navigating Today's Real Estate Market: Insights for Investors, The Housing Shortage and Your Investment Opportunities
Jason talks about the current state of the housing market, emphasizing that there is no housing crash due to the low number of financially distressed homeowners. He shared updated statistics from the US Census Bureau, indicating that 39.8% of homeowners have no mortgage, and 65% have mortgages at or below 4%. Jason also highlighted the oversupply in the high-end market and encouraged potential buyers to reach out to his investment counselors for opportunities. Jason then finishes his talk with Vince of RE social as they discuss the advantages of single-family homes, highlighting their accessibility and historical stability. While scaling can seem challenging with multiple mortgages, blanket loans exist. Institutional investors demonstrate the scalability of single-family rentals. Diversification across 3-5 markets is recommended for single-family homes, offering a balance between wealth creation through concentration and preservation via diversification. Viewing tenants as "subscribers" in a sticky business model and leveraging financing and tax benefits further solidify single-family income property as a top asset class. #RealEstateInvesting #SingleFamilyHomes #IncomeProperty #RentalProperty #RealEstateTips #InvestmentStrategy #WealthBuilding #PassiveIncome #REI #RealEstateMarket #Diversification #SubscriptionBusiness #TaxBenefits #1031Exchange #HousingMarket #RealEstateExpert #InvestmentProperties #FinancialFreedom #RealEstateForBeginners #MultifamilyInvesting Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 2:32 Why there is housing crash YET 9:17 Join our FREE MASTERCLASS EVERY 2nd Wednesday of the month JasonHartman.com/Wednesday Jason's interview with Vince Rodriguez of RE Social part 2 10:11 Diversity 12:22 The best subscription model in the world 13:32 Share of income, income property and taxes 17:55 Buy or rent? 20:22 Market dynamics and unemployment insurance 28:53 "Everyone has a right to a home"- and you're renting it out!

2302 FBF: America's Economic Outlook said John Mauldin Author and Publisher of ‘Thoughts From the Frontline’
This Flashback Friday is from episode 298, published last February 4, 2013. On this show, Jason Hartman talks with one of his investment counselors about current events, welcomes a guest caller and also brings to our listening audience the economic outlook from renowned financial expert, John Mauldin. Mauldin discusses “spending rearrangement”, a restructuring of our country’s spending problem and tax code, and how the election outcome influences the direction of that restructuring. The larger the government becomes, the smaller the private sector becomes – not an ideal situation for economic recovery in the U.S. Mauldin gives his insights and the possible scenarios and outcomes that could happen, depending on whether or not the deficit problem is truly solved, touching on investments, job creation, tax issues and trade deficits. John Mauldin is also a New York Times best-selling author and a pioneering online commentator. Each week, over one million readers turn to Mauldin for his penetrating view on Wall Street, global markets and economic history. Mauldin’s weekly e-newsletter, Thoughts from the Frontline, was one of the first publications to provide investors with free, unbiased information and guidance. Today, it is the most widely distributed investment newsletter in the world. Mauldin is a frequent contributor to publications including The Financial Times and The Daily Reckoning, as well as a regular guest on CNBC, Yahoo Tech Ticker, and Bloomberg TV. His best-selling books include Bull’s Eye Investing, Just One Thing and Endgame, as well as his recently released update to Bull’s Eye Investing – The Little Book of Bull’s Eye Investing.
