WFN #101 – These are the stories that Dave Ramsey DOESN'T want you to hear!

Wed, 20 Sep 2023 07:00:00 -0500

Dave Ramsey and many others bash Life Insurance "Sales Guys" every day.

"Buy Term and Invest the Difference" is preached like it is the 11th commandment.

As in EVERY profession, there are good and bad actors.

As I always say, "Your Net WORK is your Net WORTH" my network has expanded dramatically over the last 5 years especially over and recently was introduced on LinkedIn to a "good" actor in the Life Insurance business that has decades of experience and stories to tell.

Bob's philosophy is simple- if it doesn’t feel right for the client, don’t do it. And having been in the business for 39 years with ZERO consumer complaints is proof that the philosophy is working.

What if after you listened to Wagner in November of 2021, you bought a turnkey rental from B2R Direct then? How would you be sitting now? Well, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say you could be sitting on a $100,000 EQUITY gain! The Florida market is on fire! 🔥

On top of that, you would be looking at a 22% increase in rent!

Now will that continue? Probably not, especially with the Fed raising rates BUT you can still get instant equity when you buy a new build from Wagner’s company who still averages 30-40 applicants PER UNIT for rent. And he ONLY sells to investors!

WFN #058 – Is the ‘1% rule’ DEAD? Marco Santarelli from Norada Real Estate gives his thoughts

Wed, 23 Nov 2022 07:00:00 -0600

Is the 1% rule dead?

Are you looking for an investment that yields 12-15%, pays monthly and you DON’T have to be accredited?

Finally, what if you need an option for mortgage financing outside of a traditional bank?

Our returning guest from episode 16, Marco Santarelli joins us again to answer all three of these questions and share his thoughts on the housing market going into 2023.

👉 Tip/Trivia – In 1983, the inflation calculation was changed from tracking mortgages and other housing costs to tracking ‘owners’ equivalent rent’ which made the measurement less volatile.

WFN #057 – Safely earn 10-12% on your money WITHOUT stock market volatility

Wed, 16 Nov 2022 07:00:00 -0600

Instead of going to the bank to get LENT money, why not BE a bank and LEND money?

That is the topic of today’s podcast with Howard Robbins of Ignite Funding. $1.3 billion in trust deeds have been funded since 1995 and Ignite has returned over $100 MILLION in steady, monthly interest payments to their investors.

You don’t have to an accredited investor. The minimum investment amount is only $10,000. AND your investment is SECURED by real estate.

👉 Tip/Trivia – Certain payments, like interest payments are taxed at your HIGHEST marginal tax rate. Invest in Trust Deeds in a tax-FREE Roth retirement account to pay ZERO in taxes!

Everyone wants to build wealth and grow their income. But if you are like me and live in the most litigious country in the world, the United States, you’ll want to PROTECT your assets from excessive taxation and frivolous lawsuits.

WFN #031 – If you believe in freedom, you may be a Libertarian! w/ Spike Cohen

Wed, 18 May 2022 06:00:00 -0500

End the Fed, get government OUT of people’s lives and end taxation. These are three of the tenants of the Libertarian Party, the third largest political party in the US. So why can’t a third-party WIN in the national elections? Would Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson have to be the candidate to pull off the upset like Jesse Ventura did for the governor’s office in Minnesota in 1999?

Spike and I spoke about the Libertarian party, how it stemmed as a movement against the Nixon administration, how centralized power always corrupts and what the party can do for anyone that wants to see their lives, rights and property protected.

WFN #030 – What is a ‘Real Estate Professional?’ per the I.R.S. with Brandon Hall

Wed, 11 May 2022 06:00:00 -0500

Want to qualify as a Real Estate Professional and use UNLIMITED depreciation to offset ALL your income? The bad news is that it is NOT quite as easy as Google says it is.

The good news is if you work with a great CPA that works ONLY with real estate investors, it IS much easier! Today, I asked our guest Brandon Hall some VERY specific questions and gave scenarios that I have either been told by OTHERS that WOULD qualify as a REP or I have never heard asked before.

Brandon Hall is a Certified Public Accountant, national speaker, and is the Founder/Managing Partner of Hall CPA PLLC.

Brandon works with real estate investors, syndicates, and private equity funds to optimize tax positions and streamline accounting and business functions. He believes that real estate investing is critical to building sustainable and generational wealth. Brandon worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young prior to launching his own CPA firm, Hall CPA PLLC (The Real Estate CPA).

Through the knowledge gained by working with real estate investors, Brandon has built a real estate portfolio of 25 units consisting of multi-family, single-family, and short-term rentals.

WFN #027 – Yes, YOU can invest in WINE! Christopher Tenorio from Vino Vest joins us to tell you how

Wed, 20 Apr 2022 06:00:00 -0500

Democratize wine investing! That is the motto of VinoVest. And now ANYONE (21 years or older) can start investing in this alternative investment with as little as $1,000. Sadly, this is one investment that CAN’T be invested in a self-directed retirement account but long term, wine returns have even beat the S&P 500.

Not sure if a merlot or a pinot noir would make a better investment? Christopher is one of several advisors with VinoVest that can help you start your portfolio.

WFN #026 Without Health, There Is NO Wealth! #ALLIN with Dan Zitofsky’s journey for PASSIVE income

Wed, 13 Apr 2022 06:00:00 -0500

Dan Zitofsky shares his personal story from when he was working 100+ hours a week, flipping homes, making seven figures and owning nice homes, cars and watches. But he truly wasn’t happy, his family wasn’t happy and his wife finally called him out calling him a “sh*tty husband and father.”

With his awakening moment that he had to stop CHASING money, Dan did a 180 flip and switched his business to PASSIVE investing with notes, syndications and rental income versus house flipping. Now he does what he wants, wakes up when he wants and is truly there for his wife, children and grandchildren. Now Dan’s passion is helping others by being a wealth coach and health coach. As Dan says, ‘Without health, there is no wealth.’ #ALLIN

WFN #025 Wealth Without Wall Street - financial FREEDOM is the goal, not retirement!

Wed, 06 Apr 2022 06:00:00 -0500

Today’s guest shares how he and his business partner generate passive income through ATM machines, short-term rentals, long-term rentals, Ethereum mining, land flipping, an RV rental, eCommerce stores, learning courses, and a note fund.

Joey has a passion to help people achieve financial freedom TODAY through investments that pay income TODAY versus the Dave Ramsey route of buying mutual funds in a 401k for 20, 30, or 40 years and HOPE it is there for you in retirement.

And in addition to being passionate about infinite banking and passive income, we both are passionate about the 90’s classic movie Dumb and Dumber. 😊

With rents rising as high as TWENTY percent annually in some areas, how can some households even afford a place to live? Well, there is one asset class, mobile home parks that can help solve this.

As an investor in this class? Well, how does a 100, 200 or even 300% return sound to you?

WFN #019 – The Power of Note Investing in a Self-Directed Retirement Account with Fred Moskowitz

Wed, 23 Feb 2022 06:00:00 -0600

Thus far on the podcast we have so far discussed whole life insurance, turnkey real estate, precious metals, and cryptocurrency but this is the FIRST episode we have had discussing notes.

Through many mutual connections, Fred and I met almost 2 years ago. Fred is an author, entrepreneur, speaker and investor in all things notes.

Most people are familiar with notes, usually by getting a mortgage (a type of promissory note) on a property and they are the ones MAKING the payments. But what if you could BUY a note and then RECEIVE the payments?

Yet another passive income stream for your portfolio!

Today, 3 days before Christmas I am happy to have on Maureen McCann, the VP of Sales & Cofounder of Spartan Invest in the Birmingham, Alabama area!

In 2013, she partnered with Lindsay Davis and Clayton Mobley to start Spartan Invest. Since then she has led the Sales Team to selling over 1500 units. With revenues over $46M, a team of 55+ employees, and an 8-TIME consecutive INC 5000 award winner- as one of the Fastest Growing Companies in America, Spartan Invest continues to trailblaze in the TK rental space.

Maureen and I dive deep into many topics like the eviction moratorium and Spartan’s 3 main markets, Birmingham, Huntsville and Chattanooga and….one more coming in 2022! Listen in to find out!

WFN #008 – What IF the 1031 Exchange goes away? So WHAT!? Brett Swarts explains why

Wed, 08 Dec 2021 06:00:00 -0600

If Joe Biden and the Progressives have their way, the 1031 exchange may either go away or be severely limited in the future for real estate investors.

Brett Swarts is one of the leading experts and speakers on deferring capital gains and savings clients thousands if not MILLIONS in taxes!

Brett and I discuss the pros and cons of a 1031 exchange and IF it does go away, what do you do?

The Deferred Sales Trust may be the solution to your needs. Not only can this work for real estate, but can be beneficial if you have large capital gains in OTHER assets such as cryptocurrency.

Be sure to listen in on the unique case study (here in Minnesota) where the owner SOLD a property through a DST then bought it BACK from FORECLOSURE at about a 50% discount!

WFN #006 – TRULY Self-Directing Your Retirement with Amanda Holbrook and Specialized Trust

Wed, 24 Nov 2021 06:00:00 -0600

Today my guest is Amanda Holbrook with Specialized Trust. She has been a key account manager and has lived in the self-directed space for over 13 years.

Not only has she connected with investors all over the country, but she also practices what she preaches by investing herself and has her kids investing in self-directed Roth IRAs. Or as Amanda describes those accounts…”TAX-FREE FOREVER!!”

I myself opened up my Solo-401k with Specialized back in 2018 and since then I have invested in first position notes on real estate, private lending, note funds, trust deeds, a private company looking to go public in 2022 and even a TEAK farm in Nicaragua!

Not sure if you should open an IRA or a Solo-K? Listen in for some of the pros and cons of both!

WFN #005 – Golden Nuggets on Gold with Amerigold founder Dana Samuelson

Wed, 17 Nov 2021 06:00:00 -0600

Today my guest is Dana Samuelson, founder of American Gold Exchange and has been involved in the precious metals industry for DECADES! I met Dana personally at the Real Estate Guys 2021 Summit On Sand and felt he would be a great addition to the podcast!
Gold: it is the oldest form of money in human history. You can find gold coins that were minted in 500 BC and earlier!
But is it an “old relic” or just a “shiny rock” as some say? Dana and I will discuss
A few of the highlights from our conversation
US money used to be BACKED by gold, but it has not been for over 50 years
From the Presidency of FDR to Gerald Ford, it was ILLEGAL for Americans to own gold!
Gold is twenty times scarcer than silver
Money and currency are NOT the same things!
Gold and silver have no counterparty risk
What is the gold to silver ratio is and how it can help you determine your best allocation in precious metals

WFN #003 – Barry Brooksby with Focus Wealth Group

Wed, 03 Nov 2021 06:00:00 -0500

What is Whole Life Insurance and IS it really a scam like Dave Ramsey and others say it is?

Our guest today is my friend and insurance agent Barry Brooksby.

Barry Brooksby has been involved in the financial and investment industry since 2001 and helped build a multi-million dollar real estate empire. He has an extensive background in real estate investing and financial services and is an Infinite Banking Practitioner working with clients nationwide.

He is the Founder and CEO of Focus Wealth Group, specializing in wealth & protection strategies, and tax-free money planning.

He’s a co-author of the book, Tax-Free Money for Long-Term Care!, and author of Infinite Banking: The Powerful Tax-Free Strategy that Allows You to Capitalize on the Velocity of Money.

Barry speaks on topics such as real estate investing, tax-free retirement, guaranteed income planning, Infinite Banking, and high cash value whole life insurance.

We will do a deep dive into the numbers with a whole life insurance policy and why large corporations like Chase and AT&T and wealthy individuals use these vehicles to save, grow and protect their wealth in a tax-free environment.

Inflation, tax and even a small 1% fee can erode much of your retirement account, even with a 6-12% “average (link - https://youtu.be/X0SHoqpdjFQ) ” rate of return.

Find out why WLI may make sense for you!
