Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast Kathy Fettke | RealWealth

With interest rates hovering around 7% and housing prices still soaring, does it make sense to be a homeowner? Or would it be wiser to rent, spend less money, and enjoy more lifestyle flexibility? And how will the lawsuits against NAR impact the cost of buying a home? Will they help bring prices down by reducing real estate agent fees?
These are hot topics for American home buyers and investors. In this episode, you’ll hear from a guest who’s made it his business to democratize real estate agent fees. He also believes that, in many cases, renting is a better financial option than buying. What you’ll hear in this interview is a lively discussion about how the lawsuits against the National Association of Realtors might impact home prices, housing inventory, and real estate agent compensation. The debate also heats up when we discuss the virtues of real estate investing versus stock market investing. If you know me, you know where I stand on that issue!
My guest, Jack Ryan, is the founder and CEO of REX Real Estate, which is a startup proptech brokerage that provides a digital alternative to the traditional real estate agent model. Jack has an impressive educational background with degrees from Dartmouth College, Harvard Business School, and Harvard Law School. He’s a former Goldman Sachs partner who transitioned into a high school teaching position on the South Side of Chicago before he founded REX. He now resides in Austin, Texas. You’ll find his book on Amazon: “Bringing Adam Smith into the American Home: A Case Against Home Ownership”.

Tax deductions are a big deal for real estate investors and there’s one important deduction that’s dangling from a cliff right now. It’s the 100% bonus depreciation that’s currently hung up in the Senate, past the date mentioned in this interview. But our guest, Brandon Hall, will fill you in on exactly how this deduction works and why it’s so important. 
He’ll also dive into several other very useful tax topics including how you can qualify as a real estate professional for additional tax savings, whether real estate investors are experiencing more audits right now, and what situations might increase your risk of an audit.
Brandon is founder and managing partner at Hall CPA and is also known as The Real Estate CPA (www.therealestatecpa.com). He studied accounting and finance at East Carolina University and specializes in creating “tax smart” portfolios for clients. He’s also a real estate investor with more than two dozen units. Previous employment includes PwC and Ernst & Young. 
Brandon’s team recently held a virtual live event called the Tax, Legal & Wealth Summit May 2024. I was among the speakers. You can still get access to a replay of the event at their website if you click on “reserve your free ticket.”

I love getting together with long-time real estate investing friends. It’s been a few decades now since I started investing in rental properties and co-founded RealWealth to help other people do the same. We recently held a live event in the San Francisco Bay Area to showcase a few rental markets we are excited about and I had the opportunity to catch up with many people I’ve gotten to know over the years. You’re going to hear from one of those people in this interview who also happens to be one of my all-time favorite real estate experts!
My guest today is none other than Brandon Turner, former host of the very popular BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast. His current podcast is called: "The Better Life Podcast." As real estate investor, he is the founder of Open Door Capital LLC and has built a portfolio with more than 13,000 units and more than $1 Billion in assets under management. He's also a prolific author on the topic of real estate. You'll see many of his books on Amazon including: “The Book on Rental Property Investing,” “The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money Down,” and “The Book on Managing Rental Properties.” 
In this interview, you’ll hear his personal story, what he’s investing in, how he deals with new investing challenges, and the three things he wishes he did differently from the start. Keep listening! You’re sure to be educated and entertained!
Thanks for joining me for the Real Wealth Show.

What should homeowners and real estate investors know about buying property insurance in today’s market?
 
In this episode, you’ll hear from an insurance expert with decades of experience. He’ll talk about why insurance rates have gone up so much, how inflation and natural disasters are playing into this, what you can do if your policy is canceled, what insurance options are recommended for landlords, and how insurance brokers can make it easier to get a policy that fits your needs and your wallet.

There are so many ways to invest your money, but it’s difficult to know whether you are making the right decisions. Should you invest in real estate, stocks, bonds, or just tuck your money away in a savings account? Is it smart to invest when inflation remains stubbornly high? What happens if we really do have a recession? What’s up with the central bank and interest rates?
In today’s episode, you’ll hear from Mike Larson who teaches people about money, the economy, and how to invest. He’s the vice president and editor-in-chief of an educational platform called MoneyShow where he oversees all aspects of investor education, content creation and conferences. Previously, he was a senior editor and analyst at Weiss Ratings and also worked at Bankrate.com and Bloomberg News. His areas of expertise as an analyst include commercial and residential real estate, central bank policy, and domestic and global interest rates, 
You can see Mike in person at an upcoming symposium called “The Big Money Pivot” this May 7th through 9th. It’s being held at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, California, which is very close to the San Francisco airport. Mike will be giving the opening remarks and an update on the market. I will also be giving my 2024 Housing Forecast and Real Estate Investing Outlook as one of the speakers. You’ll find more information on the symposium under the live events tab at MoneyShow.com.
