#25 - Rental Coordination and L.A. Radio Interview -Two Part Podcast

PART ONE: Jason talks with, Sara Liskey, one of our Rental Coordinators about getting your properties rented fast. As the rental market improves this has become easier; however, it is very important to maintain high occupancy for your rental properties to insure excellent ROI. Jason believes that the best investments are rental income properties; therefore, he does not recommend vacant land as it is a speculative investment based on the hope of unreliable appreciation rather than rental income which is far more reliable and offers staying power for the investor.

PART TWO: Jason is interviewed on KABC Talk Radio AM790 where he talks about Eastern Europe’s real estate market (full detail on future podcast) and explains how the $27 billion per month adjustable rate mortgage reset issue is affecting the stock, bond and real estate markets. Many Wall Street investors have lost money due to the misleading valuations of Moody’s rating the debt asset tranches of various hedge funds including Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank.

#24 - The Three Dimensions of Real Estate Investing™

Unlike stocks, bonds, mutual funds or commodities such as precious metals like gold and silver - real estate is a multi-dimensional asset class. The multi-dimensional nature of income property makes it extremely profitable in changing ways based on varying market conditions. This is a wonderful thing because investors can profit even seemingly “bad” markets. For example, when financing becomes expensive (low housing affordability rates) or difficult to qualify for (low capital liquidity) it can create excellent opportunities to increase rents. When mortgage rates are low and qualifying is easy it can spur terrific appreciation. You can win either way so long as you adapt your strategy based on economic realities.

Additionally, a discussion about Macro vs. Micro Markets™ so don’t just run out and buy based on a city – be sure to screen and drill down into the various Micro Markets™ within each city. Since you can’t buy all of them… you may as well buy the best ones!

Last but not least Jason recommends the book “Revolutionary Wealth” by Alvin and Heidi Toffler.

#23 - It is time to increase your rents… thanks to the mortgage meltdown!

ATTENTION INVESTORS: It is time to increase your rents! Learn more about how “the credit bubble” or “the mortgage meltdown” is BENEFITING landlords with increasing rents and lower vacancy rates. If you are a client of ours or have attended our seminars you are familiar with The Three-Dimensions of Real Estate™ (podcast coming soon) which so many fail to understand. You can profit tremendously in virtually any real estate market so long as you adapt quickly and utilize the most prudent strategy for the current economic environment. There is real urgency to borrow as much high quality, fixed rate, investment grade debt as possible while you still can. The bank and the tenant can pay for 90% of your investment. Rental properties are clearly the best investment for the average person! Just try getting the bank to buy your stocks, bonds, mutual funds, hedge funds, gold, silver or other “investments” and then try renting them to a tenant – definitely a fantasy!
