Returning for an encore interview in episode #363 of The Creating Wealth Show is Jason Hartman's Mom. From the friendly environs of her newly completed McMansion in lower Alabama, the talk turns to fostering an ownership mentality with tenants.Whether you self-manage or go the property management route, this is a critical concept to understand. In short, the trick is to get your tenant thinking of the property as his/her house and to take pride in ownership. In nuts and bolts terms, it's the difference between getting a call at midnight asking to have a light bulb changed or having the tenant in the mindset to do it themselves.

When it comes to tenant self-sufficiency, you might find it difficult to beat one of Mom's tenants. This incredible guy has rented the same place for 25 years. Present and future landlords looking for income property investing success should take this case study to heart. He spent $1,400 to seed the lawn. $3,000 to build a brick wall on one side of the property. And when the hot water heater goes out, he's willing to install it himself. This tenant has the ownership mentality down to a science.

The second half of the show features guest Scott Shellady, Senior Vice-President of Derivatives of the Trean Group. Wait! Don't click away. Too many people think they can't understand derivatives, and we're here to prove you wrong. Listen to Scott break the idea down into layman's terms. You may not want to invest in them but you need to understand what they are and how they fit into the greater financial world scheme.

Mr. Shellady also devotes time talking about the reality of retirement for Generation X in today's goofy financial climate. It's too risky to divide your portfolio into an even 50% split into stocks and bonds, so what do you do?

In This Episode:

* Jason and Scott exchange dueling definitions of derivatives. Is it like trading insurance or "the thing about the thing?"
* What are the one-percenters investing in right now?
* What SWAGER means to your investment strategy
* How to profit in the face of the manufactured stock rally
* What's killing the financial future of the ninety-nine percenters
* Why Gen Xers should figure on working longer before retirement
* How to calculate a security deposit
*Why being too friendly can cost you money
*Even better than an extra deposit is to charge monthly pet rent
*And much more…

The tables have been turned on Jason Hartman during Episode #362 of The Creating Wealth Show. Normally Jason asks the questions, but today, host Kerry Lutz of the Financial Survival Network sets the agenda. What transpires is a nuts and bolts crash course in the exact reasons single family residential properties are Jason's preferred form of investing, bar none. Better than the stock market or gold by a long shot, and safer than apartment complexes or commercial properties. If you have an interest in a better understanding of the kind of investing that creates actual wealth for the long term, don't skip this show.

About Kerry Lutz

Kerry Lutz has been a student of Austrian Economics since 1977. While attending Pace University, he stumbled upon an extensive cache of Austrian Economic Literature in a dark, musty, abandoned section of the school's library. After graduating from The New York Law School, he became an attorney and life-long serial entrepreneur. His diverse career has included: running a legal printing company, practicing commercial law and litigation and founding a successful distressed asset investment company.
In 2010, Kerry gave up most of his other interests to pursue his long held desire of becoming a radio show host. Thus the Financial Survival Network was born. Its mission, much like that of Jason Hartman's, is helping you to survive and thrive in the New Economy. He has done hundreds of interviews with such financial luminaries as Peter Schiff, Harry S. Dent, Martin Armstrong and Peter Grandich. Kerry now appears on 1230 WBZT, in West Palm Beach, FL, every Sunday from 9am-10pm EST.

In This Episode, Jason Addresses:

  • Is the dollar collapse real or fiction and why it might not matter
  • Why math math is irrelevant when it comes to the economy
  • Where Chinese millionaires want to live
  • Why residential property investments beat multi-family and commercial
  • How you can tell if your real estate portfolio is diversified
  • What's wrong with most real estate gurus' and their promises
  • much, MUCH more…

Don't miss Jason's monologue, which leads off this episode. He discusses the recent merger of eLance and oDesk, the scam of life insurance as an investment,why college no longer makes financial sense, and what Steve Jobs told President Obama about creating more jobs.

Karl Denninger is a technology expert and businessman, finance blogger, political activist and is sometimes referred to as a founding member of the Tea Party movement. Denninger was also the founder and CEO of MCSNet in Chicago.

Denninger is a founding contributor to the libertarian-oriented finance blog The Market Ticker, found at http://market-ticker.org. He uses his blog to levy harsh criticism of the criminal element who are wrecking the global financial system. In the aftermath of the March 2008 collapse of Bear Stearns, he founded the website Fed Up USA. He came to national attention for the criticisms of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 which he posted on Fed Up USA in September that year. Of special concern to Denninger was the over-the-counter trading of credit default swaps, as well as the high leverage of financial institutions; his objections to the bailout plan stemmed from the fact that it did not address either of these issues. He has also spoken out against high-frequency trading, particularly in the aftermath of the 2010 Flash Crash.

As a publicly outspoken and early member of the Tea Party movement, Denninger is sometimes referred to as a founder. On January the day of President Obama's first inauguration, he published a blog post calling on readers to mail tea bags to the White House and Congress on February 1st, echoing a suggestion by a commenter on one of his earlier blog posts. However, Denninger later expressed concern with the Tea Party movement, specifically that establishment Republicans had hijacked it and perverted its original goals.

Flashback Friday Original Publishing Date: June 29, 2013

Dennis Miller is the author of a book called Retirement Reboot and the only retired RetireMentor columnist on Marketwatch. Jason Hartman interviews Dennis about his experiences and research on retirees and investing. Dennis is also the author of the weekly newsletter Millers Money which has over 150,000 subscribers. Dennis surveyed his readers about how much inflation is a reality in their lives. Over 3,000 people responded and the results were staggering. The reality is that retirees living off a fixed income know EXACTLY how much the price of basic necessities have gone up. They can not only tell you exactly how much the price went up, they can tell you how much the packaging has downsized and how the quality has diminished. Dennis has tapped into the real fear faced by retirees. These three columns that came out of the results really sum up how the government inflation numbers are not a true reflection of how retirees live their lives which is why they seem to be feeling inflation to a greater extent.

•             Only 1.6% thought inflation was 1 – 2%

•             14.2% of readers thought inflation was 3 – 5% for them

•             34.9% thought inflation was 6 – 8% for them

•             25.7% thought inflation was 9 – 10% for them

•             23.6% thought inflation was over 11% for them
