Fire! This is NOT a Drill! Jun 15, 2018

Show notes

Today's episode is based on a real life situation of a fire that resulted in loss of life. To make matters worse, the owner of the property had made upgrades to the fire safety equipment in the home but still didn't meet code. They were fined and found to be liable for damages. It's such a simple fix, and one you can't ignore.

Carriage House Wealth Jun 14, 2018

Show notes

Secondary dwellings can be a way of increasing density without changing the zoning of residential properties. Some of the most expensive neighborhoods in the core of a city often have deep lots that have enough space for a separate building. Many cities have started to allow carriage houses as a form of legal secondary dwelling. They're a much more desirable alternative to the basement apartment.

Seller Arrogance Jun 13, 2018

Show notes

Sometimes a seller seems to take an arrogant position. It can almost seem like they aren't interested in selling the property. When you're dealing with a seller, it's important to understand both sides and how to negotiate assignment of responsibility for any uncertainty that may exist during the pre-phase of the purchase contract.

AMA - How to Win in an Inflationary Environment Jun 11, 2018

Show notes

AMA (Ask Me Anything). A listener from California asks about whether it's safe to hold debt in an inflationary environment. We measure inflation as an increase in prices. In truth, it's a devaluation of the currency. Savings become worth less. Debt goes down in value as well. Hard assets appear to go up in price because the money is worth less. In today's episode I show you the new rules of the game.

Distortions in the Market Jun 08, 2018

Show notes

Today we are examining distortions in the market. These distortions result in many sellers putting a property on the market and asking too much for it. But you can’t blame the seller. They are simply trying to maximize their profit. Distortions in the market are everywhere. One of the biggest contributors is lack of knowledge. There is a fallacy that if a single property sold in your immediate area for $100,000 more, your property is now worth $100,000 more. That's not the case. You need sustained averages. The problem arises when you're dealing with a small number of transactions. There isn't enough data to create a statistically valid average. What do you do?
