Jason Hartman takes some time before this 10th episode interview to discuss the concept of the mini-family office and how you can incorporate VAs (virtual assistants) into the mix. Jason provides a litany of websites where you can find VAs, as well as an insight into what characteristics you need to be looking for. Then there's the monetary side of it: does it make financial sense to hire a VA to do this? Well, you can use the Hartman Property Management Metric to figure that out.

Then Jason talks with Peter Shankman, author of Faster Than Normal: Turbocharge Your Focus, Productivity, and Success with the Secrets of the ADHD Brain, about how people with ADHD can use it to their advantage, what actions people need to take in order to be successful in their ventures, how to figure out what your audience wants, and when to ignore your audience.

Today's Flash Back Friday comes from Episode 734, originally published in October 2016.

Jason’s guest, Brian is a client and a longtime Creating Wealth Podcast listener. Brian describes his early days of real estate investing when Sara initially walked him through the buying process. The properties he purchased in Atlanta and Memphis have now matured and Brian is faced with making a decision. Should he refi-til-ya-die or to do a 1031 exchange and get 2 for 1 on his highly appreciated properties. Jason shares his insights on best business practices, how to use an IRA as a tax savings vehicle and recommends some “must read” books on real estate investing.

Key Takeaways:

[1:57] Brian read Rich Dad, Poor Dad in high school which led him to the Creating Wealth podcast.

[3:19] Brian was pleased with the support he received from Sara and the Local Market Specialists.

[6:14] Is refi-til-ya-die always the best option or does the 2 for 1 plan make better financial sense on highly appreciated properties?

[9:55] The 2 for 1 exchange gives the owner all of the equity to reinvest. The refi-til-ya-die option is limited to the cash-out loan to value ratio.

[11:10] A refi may be a simpler option and offers a locked-in lower interest rate.

[13:38] Brian shares his real estate investor stories on his website Rental Mindset.
