George and Sue realized that being the owner of property was the way they could accelerate the growth of their retirement plans, so they started looking into how they could do it. They began to search the country for the best areas for investing in flips. But then they heard me talk about buy & hold investments on another podcast - and realized that with their busy schedule, this might be a better way. www.RealWealthShow.com

It's a great time for real estate investors to lock in low interest rate loans that increase cash flow, all the while rents are increasing. Our guest today has helped real estate investors since 1997 to get the loans they need to build a robust real estate portfolio. He's not just a loan broker. Aaron Chapman finances about 700 transactions per year for real estate investors and gets to see where they are successful and where they are failing. And he uses that experience to coach others.

10,000 baby boomers are turning 65 every day for the next 10 years. How many will be able to actually retire? You don't want to face retirement and suddenly be in the midst of a recession, watching your 30 years of investment wash away overnight. Our guest has been following our "10 properties, 12 year" program and was able to “retire” last year and live off “some” of the rental income and use the balance to pay down the remaining mortgages. He's been on our show before and he's back.

Busy professionals may not have the time to buy, renovate and manage their rental properties. And if they live in expensive metros, they may not be able to find properties that cash flow nearby. This often leaves them no choice but to buy property out-of-state that is already renovated and managed, which is also known as "turnkey" rental property. But does turnkey mean problem free? Unfortunately, it does not. Our guest today researched the turnkey model, and created systems that he'll share with us.

Home sales slowed in the second half of 2018, so much so that new home builders in many areas had to offer price reductions and add-on incentives. As you may know, Real Wealth Network partners with experienced developers to build out subdivisions nationwide. We have projects in Reno, Tampa, Park City, and Bozeman. On today's show, we'll hear from 40-year veteran developer, Fred Bates, on how those projects are doing, and whether or not it's still a good time to build new homes.

So often people ask me where I think the best place to buy rental property is today. So I thought I'd bring on someone who has access to real time information from lots of investors on which areas are cash flowing best, and which areas are appreciating the most. Our guest today is Ben Smith, he's our Director of Investor of Relations. He's been an investor for a couple decades, was a member of Real Wealth Network for many years, and was hired in 2014 as an investment counselor.

The long-awaited Opportunity Zone Regulations were released on Wednesday, April 17th! But unless you're a seasoned tax attorney, you might not totally understand what's written in those 162 pages.

He helps investors and business owners with very high level asset protection and business planning services.

As you'll see in the following interview, real estate is a hard asset - and one that people need. It is not flimsy like fiat currency - like the dollar - that is really tied to nothing anywhere and only has value because the US. government says it does. If the value of the dollar declines, there's a good chance the value of hard assets increases. Our guest today, Sean Burke, outlines these ideas in his book, How To Press America’s Reset Button which can be found on Amazon.
