    Time, health, and money are three key resources in your life. Learn about their trade-offs.
    “It’s not at what age I want to retire, it’s at what income.” -George Foreman
    I discuss at least three definitions of retirement:
    1-The time of life when one permanently chooses to leave the workforce.
    2-To remove from service.
    3-When you become job-optional.
    4-When you stop doing mandatory income-producing activities.
    Social security, pensions, 401(k)s, and residual income from real estate and stocks are all discussed.
    Compound interest is faulty. Compound leverage can help you retire young.
    “After the first $2M-$3M, a paid off home, and a good car, there is no difference in the quality of life between you and Jeff Bezos.” We discuss. 
    I briefly cover the antitrust case against the NAR, making the 5-6% commission paid by the seller largely a thing of the past.
    Rents are up 2% annually, the biggest gain in thirteen months, per Redfin.
    Learn 15 reasons why single-family rentals beat apartments.

    Why the Fed Should NOT Lower Rates, Spartan Summit Presentation

    Why the Fed Should NOT Lower Rates, Spartan Summit Presentation

    Get our free real estate course and newsletter: GRE Letter
    I state the reasons why I DON’T believe that the Federal Open Market Committee should lower interest rates. Rates are currently normalized.
    Watch the full Spartan Summit Presentation here. The first half is played on this episode.
    President Biden is trying to help the housing market’s poor affordability and undersupply.
    Fed Chair Jerome Powell made recent remarks on the real estate market. He emphasized the lack of supply.
    High rates = strong economy
    Low rates = weak economy
    Lowering interest rates to zero is artificial and introduces distortions in an economy.
    If we have a recession, we need “rate cut ammo” in order to make cuts at that time.
    Lowering rates also sets up an inflationary environment. That’s bad for society, but leveraged income property investors benefit.
    A “Fed pivot” means that the FOMC changes from raising rates to lowering rates, or vice versa.

    Inflation is an Immoral Force

    Inflation is an Immoral Force

    Get our free real estate course and newsletter: GRE Letter
    Learn why inflation helps dishonest people and harms honest ones. I use an example of a honeymaker.
    Both new-build SFRs and apartment units are being shrinkflated.
    Landlords skimpflate by: delayed maintenance, transferring the electric bill to the tenant, adding a surcharge for storage locker use, firing the doorman, charging to park beneath the carport, or not replacing an old fridge.
    Instead, raising the rent is the ethical thing to do.
    To comfortably afford the typical US home, it took $59K in 2020 and $107K today.
    In a sense, you’re both richer and poorer than your grandfather.
    Learn why investing through IRAs is a poor strategy.

    How to Invest in Timberland Like the Top 1%

    How to Invest in Timberland Like the Top 1%

    Owning raw land, timberland, and farmland is often the domain of the wealthy. This is partly because it is difficult to obtain loans for this property.
    Today, we discuss an income-producing timberland that also tends to increase in value.
    For under $7,000 you can own quarter-acre parcels of producing teak trees in Panama and Nicaragua.
    You can invest yourself. All at once, this provides diversification with a hard asset in a foreign nation and a different product type.
    Over a twenty-five year period, each $7K quarter-acre teak parcel is projected to return $94K. You get title to the property.
    Learn more at: www.GREmarketplace.com/Teak
    With ownership of two quarter-acre parcels, you can qualify for a second residency in Panama for under $22K with legal fees, etc.
    A SFR does not grow into a duplex. But teak trees grow in volume while its unit price typically appreciates. Teak price growth is historically 5.5% annually.
    I’ve met the company CEO and Chairman in-person. This provider has offered this opportunity for 24+ years.
    They’ve recently added a sawmill, increasing profits.
    What are the risks of teak tree investing? Disease, pests, fire, geopolitics and more. They are proven mitigation plans.
    In-person teak tours for prospective investors are offered.
    Trees grow through recessions, COVID, market cycles, and Fed rate decisions.
