    How to Overcome Big Risks & Fears When Investing

    Torcana Podcast 35: How to Overcome Big Risks & Fears When Investing Host Colin Murphy is back in the podcast booth after a summer hiatus to talk about the fascinating topic of risk and how important it is to accept it and to have a healthy appetite and respect for it. The risk or more accurately the fear of risk is the reason a lot of people don't invest in real estate or stop investing at the first sign of trouble. We often trip over ourselves when it comes to investing because of the way we subconsciously think about losses and gains. Our brains are hardwired by millions of years of evolution to be more afraid of losing than afraid of missing out on a gain. It is an instinct that helped our ancestors protect today's food rather than risk it for more food tomorrow. When people were hunter-gatherers who lived on the edge of survival every single day, that was a very helpful instinct to have and for the majority of our existence as a species, it served us well and didn't disappear just because we had agricultural and industrial revolutions. Getting back to the 21st Century, the technical term for how we subconsciously place far more importance on avoiding losses than accumulating gains is called loss aversion and it affects a huge range of decisions we make all through our whole lives. Example 1: Many people either hoard too much of their wealth or invest it in ultra low-risk products that generate little interest or protection against inflation. Example 2: People to avoid selling a stock that is falling because they cannot accept the reality of a loss and paradoxically, the same fear causes people to sell a stock too quickly after it rises just to lock in some profits. Using theses and other incredible real-life examples, including how casinos & big corporations exploit our fear of losing to their own advantage, Colin discusses how to move beyond these ancient instincts when making both small and big decisions.

    5 Important Steps to Get to Financial Freedom

    The theme of today's show is the five important steps to get to financial freedom. One way or another, I think we all aspire to have financial freedom. That means different things to different people, but for most of us, it means having enough money arriving in your bank account each month to cover your bills and responsibilities whether you're actually working or not. Financially free people can retire whenever they want, but most keep working on stuff they love doing. I think that's a place we would all like to be right? 1. You need a good team You can't get rich on your own. If you did, then you a) you must be brilliant and b) you could have done it a lot quicker with some help. In order to build a real estate portfolio, particularly out of state, you need, in no particular order - property manager - lender - realtor - turnkey provider - bookkeeper & CPA - attorney - insurance agent - mentor / senior person to rely on If you're a property flipper like I am, did you need all of the above and several more such as contractors, roofers, AC guys, electricians, plumbers, title agents, wholesalers, admin assistants and last but not least, like-minded business partners who you can push you forward or hold you back depending on your impulses. 2. Live below your means for a long time To accumulate wealth you need to live below your means year after year after year and consistently invest that excess. It sounds obvious when you say it out loud but a lot of people who have aspirations to get rich don't do it. They invest very little or very infrequently or spend everything they earn (and sometimes more) because they put lifestyle ahead of wealth. Getting a pay rise and using the money to get a nicer car or go on a nicer holiday is easy and its what we're encouraged to do by big corporations. Learning to save enough to invest is a habit that can be learned by anybody. Some people might have that habit naturally, but it can be learned by anybody. There are plenty of sensible millionaires in their 40s and 50s who will freely admit they were stupid with their money in their 20s and didn't start using their income productively until they were much older. 3. Don't take too long to create that nest egg It could take 40 years if all you're doing is putting money in a 401k. A 401k can give you financial freedom but its super slow and to be honest, its a little lazy. I think it is a bad idea to rely on someone else to take care of your finances. Getting a team is important but everybody should take responsibility for their own finances. If you're in a well paid corporate job, it is a good idea to take advantage of a 401k, but it should only be one stream of many. There are lots of ways to get financial freedom outside of the 401k world. Real estate is a big one, but there are lots of investment opportunities out there if you take the time to find them. Doing it in 5 years involves a lot of risks and good luck. 10-20 years is very doable with the right amount of planning and discipline. If you are literally starting now, then assume it will take 10-20 years and to build a multi-million dollar portfolio that will generate enough income for a comfortable lifestyle. That's if you're taking it seriously the whole way through. 4. Leverage is your friend, but don't go crazy on it I'm a big fan of leverage. It is great that you can use the banks' money to buy multiple properties at a fixed interest rate and use the tenants' money to pay your principal and the interest. That is is a good deal! Millions of regular folks have gotten very rich by taking advantage of it. However in the short and medium term that "good deal" adds nicely to your net worth and pretty slowly to your income. Unless you have a massive portfolio, you only generate "financial freedom" volumes of income from real estate when those mortgages are paid off. So there is a balance to achieve and it will depend on your age and appetite for risk. For exampl
