Real Estate Financial Planner™ Podcasts

A little self-promotion for those that are interested: this last quarter I started the following new real estate investor podcasts:

• Real Estate Financial Planner™ Podcast - Learn valuable lessons you can utilize yourself by analyzing how people implement real estate investing strategies to achieve financial independence.

• Advanced Real Estate Financial Planner™ Podcast - We make mistakes when we assume property values/rents always go up at X% per year or inflation is constant, or mortgage interest rates don’t change or that the stock market always goes up at a fixed rate of return each year. The reality is much messier. Find out how variable returns impacts the scenarios from the main podcast in this advanced podcast.

• Real Estate Financial Planner™ Inside the Numbers - How did we model that real estate investing strategy? Can you change the assumptions to better simulate my personal situation? Yes… find out how in this podcast.

• Real Estate Investing and Real Estate Financial Planning™ Podcasts by City - Real estate investing classes and city-specific content including modeling with city-specific assumptions.

Enjoy!

Love,

James Orr
