EQ RP is that checkbook for your retirement money where you can invest quickly like in these deals that come up where you have a matter of days or weeks you need to do it fast. This gives you that option. You can use this if you’ve got employees or you have no employees. This one gives you lawsuit protection which none of the other plans the IRAs and solo plans they don’t have that gives you that $50,000 credit line, which is pretty nice
for all sorts of things like education and
things you might want to spend some personal
money on. And then obviously you can use this thing with debt and for a lot of you that’s really important because many of you are investing your IRA money in syndications and the problem with that is that you’ve got the youbut tax which is up to 37% and this is basically if you’ve got a deal where you have money in something that has debt like any of these multifamily deals and your IRA is investing you’ve got a huge tax bill coming good news is EQ RPS are exempt from that and we can move IRAs into the EQ Rp. This is the self directed IRA Roth IRA killer right here, you’re able to take your 401k roll it over into the RP not pay taxes on it and invest in whatever you’d like syndications rental properties.
downpayment amount 20 25%, what is your take on which to go with
it’s a personal preference, but the way I look at it is there’s a lot of people that are starting off and they want to grow their portfolio as quickly as possible, you’re going to get a better rate with a 25%. I personally go with the 25%. But let’s just say it was referenced individually and just routed a moment ago, guy has a bunch of money makes 4000 all yours, there’s a strong chance that he’s got quite a bit of money in the bank that doing the 25% is not gonna faze him whatsoever. But then again, there’s other individuals that are you know, they may have 100,000, they want to build three, four hours out really quick, they might be able to spread that out. 20% down, okay. And I asked him that question, I mean, we get a better rate because you take that 5% and go get another property that made more sense to you, other than performance right now are 20% for single families all the way up to 10. And the two to four years to place the four Plex is 25% down
Let me give an example. So let’s just say you made 200,000 bucks in 2019, you’ve used all your deductions and you’re stuck. One of the problems is you don’t get to take advantage of that 20% deduction that Congress gave everybody a couple years ago. And the only way you can do that is if you make under 157,000. So one thing we can do now is we can set up an EQ RP make it effective December 31, you can contribute 50,000 bucks, and now your income is 150. Well, if it’s 150, then you qualify for that deduction, you get to take another 20% off. So your actual income on the books, your adjusted gross income is like 120,000. That basically means that you’re by doing this strategy, you’re gonna save about $20,000 in taxes instantly, just because Congress changed the rules. So this is a really big deal. When you’ve made too much money and you forgot to do this before the end of the year, Congress gave you a big gimme. And a lot of our guys like the doctors in our group, they’re making about 350 and above like 400. So that’s kind of another example. Maybe put 50 grand into your Q RP to get you from 400 down to 350. I know about 350 you get absolutely killed above that. It’s brutal.

well that’s a light
1:09
that this is a special edition save taxes in 2019 this is your guys last chance we’re gonna be doing a special edition with Damon Lupo, the QR p man. And we’re going to discuss in last minute changes in the law right and then some changes that happened kind of like what Congress does the midnight hour right before Christmas in December 2019 and made it effective January 1 Lane This is the biggest overhaul in 13 years since like 2006. So it’s pretty big deal. So Damon was doing handstand push up against the wall and he decided to call me up and we realized that we need to record this for you guys so you guys can hear about this right away. So here we go.
1:47
This is a
1:48
story about a dude named Lane he moved to the mainland and bought one place to stay. And then one day he went try to rent them out. And then he became one that’s still me.
2:01
What’s the big news man? All right, well,
2:03
just real quick for people that don’t remember or you’ve never heard of it. Just remember the EQ RP is it’s that checkbook for your retirement money where you can invest quickly, like in these deals that come up where you have a matter of days or weeks, you need to do it fast. This gives you that option. You can use this if you’ve got employees, or you have no employees. I’ll talk about one of the changes in the secure act. That’s what we’re going to talk about that actually impacted the whole employee thing. This one gives you lawsuit protection, which none of the other plans the IRAs and solo plans they don’t have that gives you that $50,000 credit line, which is pretty nice for all sorts of things like education or things you might want to spend some personal money on. And then obviously, you can use this thing with debt. And for a lot of you that’s really important because many of you are investing your IRA money in syndications. And the problem with that is that you’ve got the youbut tax, which is up to 37%. And this is basically if you’ve got a deal where you have money in something that has dead like any of these multifamily deals and your IRA is investing you’ve got a huge tax bill coming good news is AQR peas are exempt from that and we can IRA’s into the GRP. So good news is you’re not stuck unless you don’t do anything. And I’m going to give you a way Atlanta is going to share an opportunity for you guys to get some more information in a couple of minutes. And you guys can fix that problem. We’ll help you fix it.
3:12
Yeah, let me kind of repeat what David said in case you guys have been living under a rock the last couple of years, we’ve done several webinars on this, you guys can check that out simple passive cash flow, comm slash q RP also get that free book there too by signing up, but this is the self directed IRA Roth IRA killer right here, you’re able to take your 401k, roll it over into a DRP not pay taxes on it and invest in whatever you’d like syndications rental properties and call it the killers because with investing with a normal self directed Roth IRA, for example, you’re subject to the unified tax which is on the leverage portion and that sort of circumvents this so more information there but for a lot of you guys already have heard about this. This is a new update on some changes.
3:58
Yeah. And I think sometimes there’s so many details Tails give you a really simple example, if you have a $50,000 investment in a property and it’s got 70% dead, which is very common and your 50,000 turns into 100,000, when that property sells, you’re gonna have a tax bill probably around 10 or $12,000. Just so you know, that’s what’s coming into your IRA. Any type of IRA, regular deferred or Roth is invested. And if you have that investment using a qualified plan, like EQ RP, that tax bill is zero. So that’s the real numbers 50,000 turns into 100 you’re probably paying around 10 to $12,000 in taxes. So that’s not do that. That’s dumb,
4:32
right? Your grandpa was probably using a self directed IRA to invest on the debt side of deals, but I don’t really know too many people in my circles that invest in debt, they want equity and the depreciation with it.
4:43
Yeah, mostly investments or people are doing are definitely on the equity side. And there’s only one real smart way to do it, where you’re not paying taxes. So that’s what this is all about. Alright, why don’t we get into the secure act? And basically, there are a number of things that happened here that matter to you. A lot of this stuff had to do with insurance companies, but there’s a few things Things that are really important. The first one that’s huge like right now, let’s say it’s March of 2020. And you realize you made too much money, you realize, oh my gosh, 2019 I made too much money and you got to try to figure out how to save money on taxes. Well, it’s usually too late what Congress did is they said you can set up a qualified plan like the EQ RP all the way to the time you file your taxes. This actually could be all the way till October of 2020. And what that means is you can set up a plan for the previous year and then you can contribute so I’m going to get into an example of what you could do just to understand this is actually a tax planning but accurate like it retroactively you can go all the way backwards to December and have the effective date to save money on last year’s taxes. Even though we’ve already gotten into the new year. Congress also changed the rules around retirement accounts. So a lot of times people had set up solo 401 K’s and they thought that was great, but the problem is now they’re saying if you have part time employees, most people have to be included in a plan so a solo 401k will blow up an EQ RP, on the other hand is actually adaptable. It includes employees. This is huge. So Even if you don’t have employees, you don’t want to plan that gets blown up if you’re investing because you hire a part time person, one of the big strategies for the last 2030 years was something called a stretch IRA. And that basically meant you had as an estate planning thing, you were giving somebody, your IRA, they could take that IRA, and they could spend it the rest of their life. Well, Congress said, No, we don’t like that. That’s kind of not really the purpose of it was, so we’re going to make you take all that money over 10 years. So somebody inherits it, they got to spend it over 10 years, and that allowed Congress to push that money back into the system and start getting taxes as how they paid for the legislation, the unrelated business income tax, which is what we talked about that 37% for leveraged real estate is still exempt in an EQ RP is not exempt in an IRA. So you’re going to be paying that tax, if you have IRAs, in real estate, not going to be paying it with Niki RP and they raised the limits for EQ RP is not where IRAs but they raised the limits. Now it’s 57,000 per year, and if you’re over age 50, it’s 63,500 per year, so a little bit more still 10 times more than IRA and let me give you an example about the big one, the retroactive So let’s just say you made 200,000 bucks in 2019, you’ve used all your deductions and you’re stuck. One of the problems is you don’t get to take advantage of that 20% deduction that Congress gave everybody a couple years ago. And the only way you can do that is if you make under 157,000. So one thing we can do now is we can set up any q RP make it effective December 31, you can contribute 50,000 bucks, and now your income is 150. Well, if it’s 150, then you qualify for that deduction, you get to take another 20% off. So your actual income on the books, your adjusted gross income is like 120,000. That basically means that you’re by doing this strategy, you’re going to save about $20,000 in taxes instantly, just because Congress changed the rules. So this is a really big deal. When you’ve made too much money and you forgot to do this before the end of the year, Congress gave you a big gimme.
7:45
And a lot of our guys like the doctors in our group, they’re making about like 350 and above like 400. So that’s kind of another example. Maybe put 50 grand into your tarp to get you from 400 down to 350. I don’t know exactly where The tax levels are but I know above 350, you get absolutely killed above that it’s brutal. And
8:05
if you’re married, if you make under 315, you can get that 20% deduction. So like, let’s say you made 400. And you and your spouse each contributed 50. Now you’re under 315. Now you get the 20% deduction, that’s a $60,000 deduction off that 300. So you’re talking about 60 plus 100, that you put in, so you’re talking 160 off of your 400. I mean, at that highest tax bracket, you just saved about $50,000 in taxes by doing this 50 cents on every dollar. It’s massive. It’s I mean, it’s like you got to know about this, if you’re not doing this and you’re making a bunch of money and you’re trying to figure out what to do other than drink heavily. You got to look at this. This is about the only thing you could do retro actively and one of the other questions just to reiterate this, it’s important for people to know anybody who’s qualified if you’re doing deals, if you’re a passive investor in deals if you’re a doctor and you’re investing and you’re self employed as a doctor, I mean if you have an eBay company, like you have an eBay store, even if you’re a W two employee, you have employees yourself, even your grandmother like it It doesn’t matter really what your situation is, there’s a way to utilize this strategy. So it’s not just for some random alien class of people. It’s literally for anybody that wants to not pay as much taxes as they’re paying, right? I think people will say, Well, I’m just a W two worker. I’ve been that way for the last 30 years. We can make this work. Yeah, it we’re in the digital age. And so when somebody says, I don’t have a business, I’m not qualified. I say, well, what’s an eBay store? Like, what does it take to set up an eBay store where you’re, you know, you put some stuff on there. Like there’s a lot of ways we can make it work. Bottom line is if you want to do it, you can do it. only reason you’re not qualified is if you disqualify yourself. And it’s kind of this is probably something you should know about. If you don’t already have the book, we just updated it for 2020 with the new rules, and you can get a copy of it, I will send you a copy if you go to simple passive cash flow, calm forward slash qR P. And there’s a little form there, you can get a copy of the book, we’ll send it out to you and we can talk to you about setting this thing up again, retroactive all the way back to December and that’s part of the rules now. So take advantage of it if you can, and just
9:53
the hammer that again before you had to do it all in the same calendar year, right? But now it’s sort of like how you can stop that money into your Roth IRA for the past year again I don’t know why you would want a Roth IRA or IRA in the first place
10:06
you don’t know better I mean people that that they simply just that was the best information they had and that was the way you could do it retroactively in in April you said oh, I can get another $5,000 off my income if I put money into an IRA well shoot now you can do 50 plus thousand dollars using this strategy and it used to be you had to do it by by New Year’s Eve now you can do it all the way until October
10:25
most of our investors they file extensions because they don’t want to give the IRS another six months to do it and they want to see these changes happen in front of them for the next year to be able to plan so that’s right you can delay all the way to October right not
10:36
April yeah all the way till October if you do an extension it’s all the way till October This is a good one to learn about now so you’re not stressing about it for the next 10 months but it’s you got time now because Congress they kind of gave you something instead of just taking things away so it’s great to take advantage of it if you see this you should be looking at it right one
10:51
random question while I have you Damon had a guy he’s signing some ppm docs right now he’s using his q RP to invest in a leveraged syndicated And he looked going over the documents and you have to sign whether you’re a natural person or LLC or a trust, how are you setting these up as an LLC or trust,
11:08
you have to plan is a retirement savings trust. That’s the technical term for it. Every ppm has slightly different verbiage. Some of them don’t have that term on it. So we have to figure out what makes sense. Oftentimes, it’s the trust because it’s not a typical 401k plan that’s covered under ERISA. So we look at those and that’s part of the service we provide is looking at those documents and making sure that those boxes are checked correctly. It’s typically a trust because sometimes
11:30
you could do like a Wyoming LLC, sometimes it’ll be a trust, right? It just depends where they live, or
11:36
Yeah, every situation is different. It’s different and so there’s not a one size fits all in terms of what they’re supposed to do. So really, it’s important to make sure that your team is looking at the ppm and then giving you guidance on what to check so that you’re in compliance. All right, well, yeah, this
11:49
is meant to be a quick update for you guys. Grab the 2020 edition of the book. It’s simple passive cash flow calm slash key RP and every situation is different. I think a situation that does come up a lot is somebody reads that dang purple book Rich Dad Poor Dad book, they realize they have half a million or $2 million in their silly 401k. And they realize they’re not going to be able to retire because it’s not cashflow base investing, and they need to get the money out of it. Well, instead of blowing up their adjusted gross income and taking it all out in one year or five years, the cure P is a good option for that to get it out onto the battlefield, but not pay that UDF tax and not have it show up as income right away.
12:27
Yeah, one bonus, I’ll give you guys too. If you want to reach out and get the book and reach out to us, there’s a way for you to get your money out of your 401k at any age without paying any of that 10% penalty. So we can help you do that. If you want to take some of it out. There’s some taxes involved like normal, but normally, if you’re 4050 years old, you got that 10% penalty, and we can actually delete that and get rid of it completely. So kind of a nice little bonus. What’s kind of the mechanism for that? Well, that’s part of the surprise laners in the space be using that the Roth mechanism, doing some conversions and then the rules around when you can take Roth money out. That’s one of the strategies that we give people It’s just it’s available with every EQ RP that set up you have the ability to pull your money out no penalty I got it got
13:06
it get the book guys talk to real people stop just listening to podcasts even listen to podcasts for more than two years and haven’t done anything. Get off podcasts and talk to real people. All right Damon we’ll see you in LA coming up and here’s the 2020 bucks you guys later
13:21
thanks you guys

Transcription: Some people recommended one rule if you want to really go and roll up your sleeves and go find your own coach, a recommendation that was given to me is you always go off for referral, which is like, Oh, right, like that’s what we do with property managers, brokers, everybody, right, syndicators, it’s always offer for all and then they said, well try it out. You can do a few sessions with somebody another session with somebody else and just try it out, see how it works, because that coach may not jive with you, or you may really resonate with them. And another question I had was, well, does this person need to run a podcast and be in real estate and do the stuff I do? And the conclusion that I came up with, that you may or may not agree with is that no, they don’t need to know anything about what you do. They don’t even need to know what a rental property is. Their role is to apply a framework of getting results with you and keeping you accountable and calling you out on your BS. And if they can do that, they probably do 80 to 90% of what you’re looking to do.
Transcription: If somebody has some commercial loan non Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac D those count against the 10, Fannie Freddie Mac commercial loan is separate about properties, okay, any wonderful family loan that has leverage that you personally are the guarantor of counts against you as an example if you have an apartment complex 99% of the time the apartment lenders or the commercial lenders are going to require you to put it into an LLC in a very high percentage of the time it’s non recourse, so we do not count those against you. We had a guy the other day, he decided to put six properties into one commercial loan thinking that he couldn’t accomplish what we’re discussing now and kind of wipe it off the plate so he can still grow. Well. The problem is that the lender still had him as the guarantor of the note on a non recourse commercial loan, the individuals not a guarantor of the note, the LLC is got it says that loan guarantor, that’s the that’s the key in a wonderful category. If they’re a guarantor of our complex, we don’t count that against them because it’s not a one to four family which is considered residential lending.
Whereas the funding options for folks with self employed or no w two income Well, I mean w income is not a must self employed is just as good as we take a look at the net net income. Obviously people that are self employed, they will do everything they can to write off as much as they can protect limitations, but we do take the net net number so if you your line 31 as you’re on it, chances are we’re not going to be able to help you because we do do the fully documented loans. most investors that we work with, they have very strong income, very strong credit and very strong assets. Typically, it’s not a problem. So I mean, all I gotta say is let me take a look at your 1040 tax returns for the last two years. Let me see what kind of incomes associated to it. And then we’re good

Simple passive cash flow listeners today we’re going to break down the new w four form in 2020. Now this is replacing the older form in the past where there was this worksheet that you did and you had the essentially it just left a big gap and you had to sort of guess how many dependents equated to me deductions you would guess. And the way I would do it, again, not giving any legal or tax advice here is I always like to give the government the less interest free law and therefore I think I put away to 19 or $20 how many deductions like claimed it often led to having to pay a tax bill in a year but I thought that was better than having to give me a free alone. And once I start to get a bunch of passive investments, and especially once the bonus depreciation paid and in 2018, I think I paid like 14% effective tax rate, and then in 2019, I paid 4%, which sounds crazy AGI combined with me and my spouse was About $135,000 I paid around $5,000 in taxes, which is about 4%.

Are you a non accredited investor looking for opportunities to invest passively? How about a newer investor looking to get a bit of a track record and confidence from your spouse who’s a little bit skeptic of what you’ve been listened to the last few months and could use the reinforcement of double digit returns paid like clockwork in the form of monthly dividends. The American Home preservation fund or HP is currently open again and is looking to bring new investors with them. I have been investing with them since 2016. And originally, I use it as a means to pay for my regular expenses. I started with $60,000 as my initial investment and that paid my car payment completely for me every single month. He collaborates with existing homeowners to keep them in their homes via restructuring or selling the debts unlike their competitors. It’s a way to make great returns while feeling good about making a social impact.

This is the new w for tax form. And of course, there’s a lot of common forms. They’re here that what they do is they sort of make it a little bit easier in terms of forms to figure out how many dependents you have. And that’s a big factor how much you should be claiming but you could read this or you could just kind of do what I do and just put the maximum you have so that you know you probably gonna have to pay taxes in a year and that’s it. They have some charts here showing you how much you should be taken out but there’s really no penalty to hate. The lease is As long as you keep up with your estimated tax payments, and this is from the IRS website, IRS Gov from the newsroom, you probably find this by googling 2020 w four but it has a big FAQ on this section. Another quick tip for you guys is most of my investors and myself included we extend always to October never file in April and we fall extensions, but a few reasons why. Number one, I don’t want to give the IRS an extra six months to look for some reason thought it me or give them another six months to do it. Number two, I want to be able to see what tax changes are coming down the pipeline in the next six months and I won’t be able to change what I did in this past year but there might be things that I might want to change that repositions me what I want to do two years from now so that’s the reason why I do it. And number three, I mean when you’re in a couple of dozen syndication deals, and you’re waiting back for 24 k one forms, be sure one I was gonna be like And there’s just really no sense rushing it and going in when everybody else is trying to file their taxes you’re not giving any legal advice but if you guys are needing a referral to the same legal team that I use shoot me an email at Lane at simple passive cash flow but tell me a little bit about yourself you know may not be a good fit I have a few other people I recommend this some other folks for different reasons, but not one size shoe fits everybody.

When I realized it the month of February was over and we were in the midst of the quickest 10% downward correction in the stock market ever. Supposedly due to the Coronavirus. I say supposedly because you can never really tell what is the reason for movements in stocks but this time it seems like it has really gotten people up in arms.

Trump’s 2021 budget proposal – Cut $5.6 billion from Department of Education funding—that’s a 7.8% decrease with changes to the ways we take out and pay back loans for higher education expenses. Positives:Eliminating subsidized Stafford Loans, which don’t accrue interest while you’re enrolled, Eliminating the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, which typically goes to independent students or those whose families make less than $30,000 per year, Cutting $630 million of funding to the Federal Work Study Program, Reducing income-driven loan repayment programs to one option. Instead of paying 10% of your income, you’d pay 12.5%. Payment plans would last 15 years instead of 20, with the remainder forgiven, but graduate students would have to make payments for 30 years under income-driven repayment, Eliminating the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. Positives: Reinstating federal Pell Grant eligibility for short-term education programs and for some currently incarcerated students who are being released within five years, Increasing career and technical education funding by $900 million, Putting caps on graduate and parent loans with annual and lifetime limits.

So first headline here. And I think a lot of us have been on this roller coaster ride the past. That’s the past week I took this article a few days ago, it took stocks only six days to fall into correction, the fastest drop in history, though this was back on February 27. And it was the quickest 10% decline all time. And I believe it’s gone up a couple times and down once I mean, today, it went up 1000 points, just craziness. If you ask me, it’s all fake money, I don’t have any stocks. My stuff is all in things that I feel like I can control and cash flow, whether the stock goes up 5% or down percent, or 6% or 2%. The value is what it cash flows every month, but it’s been pretty cool watching this, the Fed dropped the rate by half a percent point you could probably say that’s partially due to the corona virus that’s out. I don’t really buy into the whole media thing. It’s not as debilitating as the flu is I believe that mortality rates on it’s like 2%, but I’m not a medical person, nor do I know what’s really happening out there, but as they know anything, the media typically throws it out of proportion. A little bit of hindsight on coronavirus. I have a couple charts in here showing what the SARS did a while ago. That was way back when in 2003. So pence furred said that the coronavirus inverted the yield curve and again my initial thought was that the market was overreacting to the corona virus news classic fight to safety knee jerk reaction quote here the traders I spoke to were legitimately concerned about the long lasting effect. Sure the 35 bps drop in the last few weeks was repositioning to avoid getting steamrolled in the event that news got much worse. And of course, this was only about a week or two weeks ago, but in the long term, the virus has the potential to pull the global economy into recession, just like any other black swan event that we’ve been talking about for the past few years China trade war Iran you name it the euro. So there’s a couple of charts here showing the decline of when SARS came into the picture with these charts are showing is that the SARS actually made an uptick after that it was short lived charts of SARS impact on the stock market was material but short lift so if history will repeat itself perhaps we’re going to look for a little bit of a bull market on the heels of this coronavirus endemic supposedly moving on specialty grocer Earth fair to close all stores and liquidate inventory files for chapter 11 bankruptcy. This is a health food store out on the east side of the country. This one’s showing one in North Carolina the most of their locations are near Whole Foods Trader Joe’s sprouts are fresh marks. So they’re kind of just getting gobbled up by their competition, but it’s showing how a lot of these other competition is pretty fierce out there even with something that’s traditionally been thought of as an emerging market which is healthy supermarkets. CPE says industry outlook for 2020 to 2021 remains strong Dallas is in growth mode due to many factors such as a strong population growth, a friendly business environment, low operating costs compared to other gateway markets and limited regional competitors. And I think if you’ve been listening and hearing to the market, you know, this is sort of Captain Obvious news. Dallas is obviously one of the frontrunners in terms of growth, but you dig a little bit deeper and if you’re actually trying to find deals there, it’s probably banging your head against the wall or pulling your hair out whatever you do to cope with things you know, everybody knows about it, right? So as an investor, you want to go where the action is at yet you want to stay away from where all the frenzy is, too. So the interest rates have been coming down. As we all know, Forbes is saying the mortgage rates near three year low decrease was largely due to investor uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus as well as trade related and geopolitical concerns. As I said earlier, the Fed dropped The interest rate half a percent, which is pretty big movement, normally they’d like to move it in terms of quarter points. And I think when everybody hears the bad news, they automatically think that they should probably look at refinancing their mortgage. But that’s not always necessarily true. The feds rate it sort of is correlated with the Treasury, but it’s not always but this time when they did drop it half a point, it did drop a treasury, so that impacts the mortgage rates and I locked in a big deal today with him closing so I think we got kind of lucky there. We got like a 3.5% on a commercial loan to pretty awesome, but I think people get a little bit too excited. I mean, 3.5% 3.754% I mean, who really cares? I mean, it’s it really doesn’t make too much of a difference when you run the numbers and you run out of deal five, six years, but it sure helps. Nice. We get lucky.

Well, that’s a like a report from CPE talking about cleaving here cleaving multifamily report boosted the ongoing revival of the city core. So this is an example of like, you have to look at it from a submarket viewpoint, I think a lot of people will look at places like Birmingham or Cleveland. And you know, one of the first things you should look at is the population growth or where’s the population going? And that’s one way of doing it, but you really got to look at it a little bit deeper, and you got to look at on a sub market. So in Cleveland, what’s happening is that the downtown area is getting most of the new development whereas the suburbs are kind I’m struggling a little bit. So CPE says here most of the new development targets downtown Cleveland, the area ranks as the largest job hubs in Ohio and is expected to see a population growth. And I followed that up with another Sherwin Williams to develop world headquarters in Cleveland. The transition to the new facilities won’t occur until 2023 at the earliest, and they previously launched a nationwide search for their new headquarters before deciding to stay right at home in Ohio, where it’s been based since 1866 news from Las Vegas we have several articles about some of the older hotels when I mean older Oh, what was it like Carnival one, the ones that are maybe a decade or two old but they’re finally going to make a what I would call Class A hotel. And the reason why I look at this stuff is you know, just I’m not interested in hotel investing, but it’s interesting to see another asset class how they cycle through assets and how and when I say it gets older, some other things Group buys it maybe it does a little bit value add and then they take it down and then these new properties come up so dream Hotel Group is opening a 450 room luxury hotel on the Las Vegas Strip This is dubbed dream Las Vegas the project is looking to open in 2023 course are gonna have a rooftop pool deck bar lounge, two restaurants, two additional bars, gaming floor, everything that you would probably want in a level hotel. You guys are probably asking where is it? It’s going to be located across the street from the Mandalay Bay Resort and will be one of the first hotels seen from the iconic Las Vegas site property will be situated two blocks away from the new Allegiant stadium the future home of the Las Vegas Raiders, maybe Tom Brady will go there. Who knows. So already business reports that NBA forecast the US economy to slow in 2020 as job market weakens, and I always just put these articles in here, you know, these are all commentary, and you’re just making wild guesses in the sky. And I like to try and put both good articles and bad articles. But they have a point sometimes. And sometimes these predictions never happen. But again, the media is trying to sell news articles. So for those of you guys who are looking on the screen, we are showing the trend from 2018 1920 and prediction 2021 2022 of GDP growth, which is dipping this year in 2020, which should come right back up in 2021 and 2022. Inflation is holding pretty steady at 1.8 to 2.2 2.4%. Across the five years unemployment again pretty steady at just under 4% Feds funds rate it’s expected to dip down this year but come back up to where it was in 2018. And the 10 year Treasury and the 30 year mortgage rates are sort of fix. They kind of follow the Fed funds rate they’re calling the 30 year mortgage to be 3.7% this year. And go up to 3.8% next year and then up to 4.1% 2022. And this is pretty consistent with what I’m thinking I think 2020 will be a little bit of a weakness or take a breath year pretty sure Trump is going to win whether you like it or not, I don’t care personally, and then we might be in for another few years of a nice Bull Run after this is kind of my prediction took this excerpt from the Newmark Knight Frank multi family housing capital report from their 2019 fourth quarter report. Usually these things are just a bunch of words and blah, blah, blah, blah. So I’ll go over the highlights here are the sales volume, they reported that investors gravitated towards markets with a strong combination of yield and growth prospects. Yes, not too insightful. There’s kind of like obvious right in terms of cap rates, national multifamily cap rates compressed eight basis points year over year, which is nothing although cap rates increased six basis points year over year in major markets a surge of investment activity in non major markets cause yields to fall 12 basis points the rest I’m not going to read because it’s not doesn’t seem like too much of a news you guys can check this out on the YouTube channel if you guys are so inclined to read into it Arbor who is a direct lender and we use arberg for our deals, you can go through any broker, but those brokers typically don’t add any value and it just makes more sense to go straight to the source which is our bro who deals the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac large commercial paper. So in their 2019 fourth quarter small multifamily investment trends report which are smaller multifamily apartments, I probably say and like the 20 to 100 unit ban. They’re saying that according to The Wall Street Journal’s October economic forecasting survey, only about 14% of economists expect the US to enter into recession in 2020. Compare that to when they tested in October 2019 when the share was roughly 48% sense. So what they’re saying here is the economists are sort of backpedaling, and the 48% of them call the 2019 recession. And when it didn’t happen, no, only 14% of them are calling it for 2020. And they put this on a graph what the survey was in 2019 and 2020, which, again, is horrible data, right? It’s just a survey Who the heck knows, right? But it gets these people are a little bit more insightful, I guess. But it’s still just opinion. But I think what you’re just seeing is everybody wants to look like the smartest guy and cause a recession. But when it doesn’t happen in the year just backs up to the next year. Now it’s in the next year. Oh, it’s in the next year. So I think that’s what you’re seeing in this article. Again, not too much news. But sometimes I’ll put some of these bad news articles in here just to pointed out again from arbour in that same report, they are graphing the spread between small multifamily cap rates and the 10 year Treasury yields through fourth quarter 2019. And this is why we do it folks. This is why we invest and use leverage because as investors, you’re making the difference between the spread between the cap rate and the your interest rate, which is basically the 10 year Treasury. So if you look back from 2009 to now it’s there’s always been about 300 to 500 points spread, it’s gone up a little bit, it’s gone down, but it stays pretty consistent. And I think this is one of those absolute truths in the world where this is the way the world works. And this is why I’m not too concerned where interest rates go, because if interest rates go up likely so well, the cap rates again, as an investor, I make my money off of a spread, which is typically a consistent 500 to 300 points spread, and then I apply leverage on that, too. If you’re thinking four to one, you multiply this by four. So I’m sure all of you have been keeping up with the proposed budgets from Mr. Trump, but if not, I took a little excerpt on the proposed budget which you can get online at OMB I don’t know why you would would unless you don’t have a day job and you don’t have anything better to do. But he is proposing a 5.6 billion cut from the department of education funding. What does that mean? That’s a 7.8% decrease. So I’ll go over the negatives and some of the positives here the negatives are eliminating subsidized Stafford loans. And those are the ones that don’t accrue interest while you’re enrolled. They’re going to eliminate this supplemental Education Opportunity Grant, which typically goes to independent students or families who make less than 30 grand a year, they’re cutting the 630 million of funding to the federal work study program, reducing income driven loan repayment programs to one option instead of paying 10% of your income you’d pay 12.5% payment plans would last 15 years instead of 20 with the remainder forgiven, but grad students would have to make payments for 30 years under income driven repayment and they’re eliminating the public service loan forgiveness program. Some of the positives are there reinstating the Federal Pell Grant eligibility for short term education programs. And for some currently incarcerated students who are being released within five years increasing career and technical education funding by 900 million in putting caps and graduate and parent loans with annual and lifetime limits Parent PLUS loans for undergrads will be limited to 26,500. graduate students would be capped at $50,000 annually and $100,000 total who knows how this legit plan will go and be changed. But that is the way that Trump’s kind of got his education budget lined up, should he get reelected wallet hub. These guys are really good at making these cool color graphs comparing state to state but this is actually very misleading. So what they did here is they took the 2020s properties taxes by state and I guess it’s kind of good because they have it a sort of an interactive table where you can click on the effective tax. Real estate tax rate here and number one lowest is Hawaii at 0.27%. Number two is Alabama at point four 2% effective tax rate on the real estate you know, you gotta use your brain here because obviously Hawaii’s average medium price is probably about three or four times that of Alabama. So you have to really look at what is the annual taxes on a median home that next column over the annual taxes on a $200,000 home. To me that column is meaningless because that’s a mansion in Alabama. And you frankly can’t find a 300 square foot house in Hawaii for that much state median home value, as you can see there $130,000 in Alabama to $587,000 in Hawaii, but for those of you in Hawaii, that’s the price of Paradise live where you want invest where the numbers make sense. I actually like the fourth column here annual taxes on home price at state medium value. I think that’s where you’re starting to see where the true month numbers are being shown because a lot of times like our Facebook group for example, someone will chime in and say well you know, Alabama has low taxes right and here the effective tax rate is the number two lowest in the country but you got to go on the based on the value so like another one is a famous one is like Chicago, Chicago has really high taxes and sort of high values so that can really skew your numbers. Again, I would just recommend if you’re looking at rental properties, just put into the analyzer and see how the numbers turn out and compare that number at the bottom of the spreadsheet which is anticipated cash flow on your Performa we kind of had a lot of bad news. I wanted to put in the side with some good news. And these are all five headlines of Hey, look on the brighter side guys, it’s not all doom and gloom. First one here by CNBC. The US is experiencing the longest economic expansion on record best seen the period from 1991 to 2001. Some guys probably like Whoa, what’s gonna end soon? Well, you should enjoy the good times right now. New York Times says the decade long us expansion has generated At 20 million jobs market watch says 3.4%. year over year, wage growth is the strongest in more than a decade. Yahoo Finance says January 2020 had a record job growth in the private sector largest monthly gains since March 2015. And the Whitehouse. gov was always trying to toot their horn does the US hit the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years in 2009. Of course, there’s a lot of questions whether how do you take the unemployment rate? Is it legit, but right now things are pretty good. I mean, people are working and I haven’t really seen any indicators saying that larger companies are laying people off decreasing their orders. And in my mastermind, I’m in somebody predicted the 2008 meltdown in there and that person was like a big time builder. And they were saying that they knew it was coming down when the foot traffic that we’re checking out those new bills just weren’t there. The demand just dried up and that was when they knew was the end and that’s why it’s been 25 thousand dollars to go to groups like that because they are closer to the action. And hopefully I can react better than the average bear out there by having that information. And I don’t want to just sit on the sidelines. I know I say this so many times, but it’s because I talked to so many new investors, you know, they’ll book every intro call with me, we’ll chat and a lot of investors will have this mindset of like, well, it’s the top of the market, I’m just gonna hold back. And I think that’s a huge mistake, especially if your net worth is under half a million dollars, you need to go out there and swing the bat and go into equity deals and grow your network. You might be hearing guys that are four or 510 million dollars and above sitting on their high horse saying they’re not doing anything right now. Well, guess what, they can do nothing. They can live off one 2% off that large portfolio and not do anything and I ultimately think is just newer investors just kind of shooting themselves in the foot. So Deloitte did a report on the personal savings rate of Americans. And they said while the personal savings rate has been trending upward average savings calculated using the consumer actions expenditure survey has been on a broad decline since 2010 2012. for consumers across income levels and for key working age groups. So we got a little graph here showing how different groups are saving their money, which ultimately, I think that’s the most important statistic to keep, you know, whenever I have a console with an investor, yeah, like to know how much you make and how much you spend, but I ultimately want to know how much you net at the end of the year again, most investors in our group, they’re able to save maybe about $30,000 a year and other ones that are a little better making able to see $50,000 a year that means they might be able to buy two rental properties a year not saying they would, right, but you’ll probably go crazy after you get five or 10 of those turnkey rentals, but they’re exponentially growing their portfolio. So this graph is kind of showing. One thing I pick up on is from 2008. You know, everybody got shell shocked and the recession brought people back to frugal ness. And I think there was a hashtag trend out there where he was cool to be frugal. Right, I read another book and they coined this term called the Great forgetting. And they say, people will normally forget how things were in like eight to 12 years. And I think that’s what’s going on here. Maybe people got really frugal 2008 to 2009 1011 12. But you’re seeing that the clients start to happen in 2013, especially in the top 20% of folks. And the other takeaway I have from this graph is it’s just a little bad that the top 20% have so much disposable income, and that’s why they you know, they go into the all these deals, and that’s great, right, but the people who are in the 8060 to 80 percentile 40 to 60 percentile 20 to 40%. percentile, like they just are not able to create any net at the end of the year. In fact that people that are below 40%, they are negative, they’re they’re like going into debt every single year. So some new podcasts that I have created this past month are up here we did some discussions with asset protection. If you guys think lol C’s are the end all be all well that’s just where it starts and then people that are 1,000,002 million dollar net worth and above should probably be looking into irrevocable trusts and potentially even international trusts. We had Marco Santorelli of nerado who talked about Top Things ignorant investors do and again one of those gonna shoot themselves in the foot not doing anything so in the top markets to invest in 2020 in all these are short YouTube clips that have created in the YouTube channel so if you guys want to go there and share it with friends, I’d appreciate it part of the Richie’s land conservation easements what interest rate to expect from private money lending don’t invest in short term rentals until you understand this, where’s the best marketing platform for short term rentals. Another big one is how is the politics and rent control affect where you should invest? I just stick to the red states simple passive cash flow right big changes to your retirement accounts. And if you didn’t hear what they did with the secure act better, go and check out that article on how the secure x screwed millions out of people’s retirements and do I need asset protection on my retirement accounts was answered in that short form but do you guys have any more questions go to simple passive cash flow calm slash question and type it in there if you leave your email we’ll try and get an answer back to you for a little bit of what I’ve been up to. And again, these all come from the Tony Robbins six needs versus growth so I started to employ a coach to keep me accountable and compress time for me and basically eliminate the time that I lie to myself continually I’ve been doing this for about a month and already it’s just been totally worth its money. I think consider a accountability partner for your selfish you can’t afford it. But yeah, I mean, at the price I pay for this thing pays for itself like four or five times over there, like the emotions that you have the thoughts you having is a sign it’s your job to turn that sign into action. And most times in the past I would just like ignore it right. But as I tell somebody coach who has skin in the game in me being successful, they kind of tease that out and they don’t let me just be okay with contribution. So I actually had a call, I’m trying to work out something where we can contribute to some kind of a charity. I think if the URL is like simple passive cash flow, calm slash charity, you can see the couple projects we’ve done in the past. But my problem is, like, I don’t have the time to find good causes to give to and I don’t want it to just go into oblivion, like a Red Cross thing. I’m not saying it’s a bad cause, but I’d rather be a little bit more. I mean, I’m totally acting like a spoiled rich person, but I want to have control over it. I want to designate where it goes. And one cool site that I found was donors choose so I had a consult with them today figuring out what we can do as a group to pull our money together and something where I can go in there maybe an hour a month and select individual projects. And what’s cool in there is like my wife’s a teacher. So we did this with her class. Last year, and quite frankly, she can’t spend all the money. I mean, there’s just there’s a lot of need on this other site, other teachers but it’s really cool because the teachers they give you feedback, the kids write you letters and they give you like a monthly report on what’s happening so you really feel like you’re making a difference but I want to go in there and pen select projects that are aligned with financial literacy education. Somebody wants to buy a seesaw or some kind of I think it was like a canoe or something. I’m like yeah, we’re not gonna do that and that’s where I’m going to get involved try and pick some of those projects but if you guys have something else or somebody else in our who wants to take the lead on being the point person for selecting these type of charities, let me know number three here significance again, I working with that coach and something that I’m realizing working with them is I need to try and find a way to make a bigger impact whether it’s for ego or what I feel that I need to help spread the word of financial freedom and investing the right way too many people are just misled By the wrong things like paying off debt, I mean, if you pay off debt, you’ll never buy assets that grow your net worth. That’s exactly what they want you to do if there wasn’t dead people would never own their houses not saying that buying a house to live in is a good idea. Number four, how did I create uncertainty in my life? Because sometimes you need to get out of your comfort zone. I don’t have any bigger plans for this year. So if you guys come up with ideas that will stuff for our group to do I don’t know I’m maybe I’m just a little tired. Since we had the QE three in Hawaii a few weeks ago. How did I create some certainty? The QE three was really cool. And I’ll put some pictures on it here. That was us. And that was how I fulfilled that last love and connection because people is what makes all the difference. But people came over for probably about four days, five days actually, if you count the first night, and it was a lot of fun. And it’s something I think that I’m just speaking for myself. Something I’ll probably remember forever. It’s not often you get a group of 30 to 55 year olds in a room are out hiking out on the beach for a sunrise. out to a luau out playing some pickleball and escape rooms where you can do something fun with first total strangers but really start to bond over some of the like mindedness of the financial freedom aspect. And you know, what do you do to build a legacy? So that was something that I want to do it more in the future. And I am thinking this slight mastermind thing might be a annual event ran more like a family reunion than a dozen other real estate events. So maybe Martin Luther King weekend might be a good time to do it. This time was a little weird with Valentine’s Day involved on the first day, I had to go to 90 degrees. So that kind of took a lot of energy. Yeah, maybe mark your calendar might be a little premature of Martin Luther King 2021. Let me see you guys in Hawaii, some of the resistance and barriers after leaving my day job. I’m realizing that it’s just me is the barrier and it always was and people always say well, you must have a lot of this extra time to do what you want. And I honestly say that I probably get almost the same amount done. The day as I did when I was working a full day job I might get like 10 20% more done without the day job but I think it’s there’s a lot less stress a lot better quality of life and it just brings perspective that people especially for the people who don’t like their day jobs most people have to spend at least 40 hours a week beating the time clock in for what right yeah, you make some good friends at work but if you didn’t have to go to the job would you still hang out with those people? Maybe Maybe not. So if there’s any way I can help anybody get out of financial freedom you know, that’s what I’m trying to wrap my head around how do I kind of help the most people get out of this a quick technology tip wrote a quick article on how do you create an instant note without opening up the lock feature on your iPhone every single time I just get so many ideas and I’m sure a lot of you guys get so many ideas and just trying to capture it is one of the most important things especially if you’ve read the whole GTD getting things done methods I finished up this willpower doesn’t work which actually thought was wasn’t a bad book. I thought like it was just had a lot of different strategies. there and I think you’ve just listened to it not at two x speed or three x speed, you just listen at one x speed that might incite some habit changes or new processes you can put into your daily life. So I just wrapped that up and I’m starting to read the go giver. Now, I think the premise is helping others get to where they want to be, and the rest should fall into place. And I’m starting the book club. So what we’re going to do here is every other month I’ll be the last Saturday of the month, every other month, we are going to do a webinar or a meeting and whoever wants to join on you know, you don’t have to be in the passive investor accelerator mastermind and just jump on and hopefully you read the book, but the goal here is to read five or six books a year and you guys can join there at simple passive cash flow calm slash lien hat and click the button register with zoom and you can join us on all the BI monthly calls we have on the books so if you guys go there, sign up and or you go you got two months, I think the next one, I’ll have it is April 25, which is Saturday where we’ll be going over the good giver. So you guys got two months to read it though, but it gets started now. And if you haven’t checked out the passive investor excetera mastermind, we are pretty much done with the first year of it in existence, some investors are phasing out of it. And that was my goal, right? Get them in, get you guys up to a point where you guys can analyze deals and be able to create your network and build some friendships. And if you guys want to get out, right, it’s not one of those things that you need to be in forever. Maybe you need to take a break. Maybe you can come back later. But yeah, we got some openings there. So if you guys want to check that out, go to simple passive cash flow, comm slash journey. So somebody asks, How do you find or choose your coach? So I just went through the Tony Robbins, folks, I can connect you with my guy, but yeah, I mean, supposedly you do the disc exam and this personality test and they fit you with somebody. I don’t know if that’s really how it is, but I Like as a speaking as an entrepreneur, everybody’s an entrepreneur these days, right? You don’t know who’s legit, who’s just faking it. So I just want to go to some brand that was sort of okay. And I’m sure Tony Robbins brand and or directory of coaches is sort of, okay, maybe even pretty good. Who knows, but I just didn’t have the bandwidth to go find a coach. And some people recommended one rule. If you want to really go and roll up your sleeves and go find your own coach, a recommendation that was given to me is you always go off for a referral. It’s just like, Oh, right, like that’s what we do with property managers, brokers, everybody, right, syndicators, it’s always offer all and then they said, well try it out. You can do a few sessions with somebody another session with somebody else and just try it out. See how it works, because that coach may not jive with you, or you may really resonate with them. And another question I had was, well, does this person need to run a podcast and be in real estate and do this stuff I do. And the conclusion that I came up with that you may or may not agree with is that No, they don’t. need to know anything about what you do, they don’t even need to know what a rental property is, or they don’t. Their role is to apply a framework of getting results with you and keeping you accountable and calling you out on your BS. And if they can do that, they probably do 80 to 90% of what you’re looking to do. So a thing that’s just my opinion is they don’t really be doing what you’re doing. I think if you’re looking for that type of person, you’re looking more for a specific business coach. Thank you for listening, and we’ll see you guys next month and be sure to tell your friends about the podcasts and have a good evening everybody like

Capturing notes or ideas has been so difficult on the fly. I have even tried third part apps like http://captio.co/
Try this #LaneHack out!
Doing this process you will be able to enable the quick Notes icon to your iPhone or iPad’s Control Center so you won’t even have to fuss with unlocking your device in order to scribble down a quick thought. You can set your device to automatically pull up the last note you were working on, if you’d rather edit a larger, running list than create a new note each time you tap the button.
To get started, tap on your Settings app and pull up the Control Center. Tap on Customize Controls, scroll down a bit, and tap on the plus sign next to Notes to add it to your Control Center.
Next, you’ll want to stay in your Settings app, but head back to the primary screen and scroll down until you see the Notes app. Tap on that to access its settings. Scroll down until you see the option to “Access Notes from Lock Screen,” and tap on that.
From there, you’ll get one of two options to pick from. Choose wisely:
Also, note that you get a number of specific options to adjust if you select “Resume Last Note,” including how long your device should wait before creating a brand-new note—an important security feature, in case someone gets their hands on your device.
Once you’ve finished setting up the Notes app, you’ll now be able to swipe down from the upper-right corner of your iPhone or iPad—whether it’s locked or not—and tap the Notes icon to begin writing down your thoughts. The interface is the exact same as Apple’s regular Notes app with one small modification: You won’t be able to access the rest of your iPhone or iPad’s notes unless you authenticate into your device.
If you’re on an iPad and you happen to have an Apple Pencil, you can also activate your screen and tap twice with the Pencil to automatically pull up Instant Notes—no Control Center shortcut required
