Few areas in American culture can separate us so divisively today. We are living in a society that forces us to pick sides and create enemies. The pandemic has only exacerbated this maligned perspective. We are to the point where the mere mention of a vaccine or a mask is enough to get you banned, blocked and ex-communicated. But why? Is it social media? Is it propagated by Fox News or CNN? Is it a government conspiracy theory? My thought is who knows and more importantly who cares. https://www.instagram.com/thehousestackers https://www.facebook.com/thehousestackers #thehousestackers #realestateinvesting #passiveincome Happy investing my friends!

Many years ago in college Accounting I was introduced to the idea of assets and liabilities. Our professor detailed the importance of why every business needed to account for each on their balance sheet and statement of cash flows. Today we discuss why every household also needs to quantify the assets, liabilities and the cash flow coming and leaving your bank account. Do you monitor this on a monthly basis? If not you could be setting yourself up for financial disaster.

Today's interview is with Jeremy Veldman who is both a real estate agent and investor. Jeremy knows firsthand the challenges that we as investors face because he lives on both ends of the spectrum. And you would think that most all agents would naturally be investors but that is not necessarily the case. So today we are going to discuss: 1. Some reasons why it may make sense to work on your own deals and then also some of the scenarios where you may not, perhaps on the sell side of the transaction. 2. We discuss the Memphis market and why it's a great place to invest. 3. Jeremy explains that Memphis is a mature market filled with several competing "turnkey" providers.

Ever since I was a kid I’ve studied the habits of the rich, how they operate and what separates them from the rest of the pack. There are an estimated 18.6 million millionaires in the US and just over 6% of households that identify as multi-millionaires. Are you one of them? Today we are going to discuss the topic of the millionaire mindset and what habits they’ve developed to give them financial freedom and more importantly how you can gather these same attitudes and beliefs and hopefully become part of this group.

Interest rates set by the Federal Reserve and other central banks help shape monetary and fiscal policies allowing companies and individuals to take advantage of leverage which can help businesses expand beyond what would normally be possible.
