396: The Investments That Will Give You COMPLETE Time Freedom

You want to retire early, but odds are, you think that you can’t. Whether it’s a high-stress job, a business that requires your full attention, or just the belief that you MUST be working, most Americans don’t think they can regain their time freedom. But most people don’t know about “lifestyle investing.” Instead of trying to be the wealthiest investor with the biggest house, fastest car, and most money in the bank, lifestyle investing asks, “what do you TRULY need to be financially free?”And there’s no one better to answer this question than Justin Donald, author of The Lifestyle Investor: The 10 Commandments of Cash Flow Investing for Passive Income and Financial Freedom. Justin redefined what it means to be rich by focusing on time, not money, as the most important metric. He went from working as a stressed-out business owner to having complete time and financial freedom simply by putting the lifestyle he wanted before everything else. And he has a lot to teach those of us that have yet to hit financial independence.Today, Justin will define some of his cash flow commandments, explain why passive income is the most essential investment you can make, and detail how to start living a proactive, not reactive, lifestyle. No matter where you’re at financially, this shift in understanding will help you build the life you love, WITHOUT creating more tasks for yourself to take care of!In This Episode We CoverLifestyle investing explained, and why time freedom is far more important than money How to find out whether you run your business or your business runs youThe ten commandments of passive cash flow and where to find itReal estate investing and other income streams EVERYONE should know about Diversification vs. concentration and which builds wealth fasterDe-risking your investments and how to get money out of any deal your enterAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingMindy's TwitterJamil's ProfileListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!Subscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelListen to The “On The Market” Podcast: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, BiggerPocketsCheck Out Mindy’s 2022 Live Spending Tracker and BudgetMoney Moment12 Ways To Make Passive Income From Real Estate InvestingClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/money-396Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself? Let us know!

395: Finance Friday: House Hacking, Side Hustles, and the Path to FI by 45

Want to hit FIRE? You’ll need a smart side hustle. We’re talking about income-doubling, cash-printing, serious side businesses that will allow you to leave your job and grow a substantial income stream, so you can invest the rest andreach the early retirement you’ve dreamed of. And for today’s guest, Alex, this is exactly the goal. Alex left college and went straight into the corporate world, only to realize that her potential wasn’t being met and there were alternative income goldmines that she could be chasing.So, she got her real estate license as a side hustle, helping buyers and sellers get into and out of homes. Her commissions boosted her income to unforeseen amounts, and now, Alex is sitting on a stack of cash that could help launch her to financial independence. But, even now, with a better job and a serious side hustle, Alex wants to venture deeper into the entrepreneurial realm. The next big dream? Becoming a financial coach for those that want to be in her position.But, before she starts, Alex needs help figuring out what to do with the savings account she’s been diligently growing. Should she use it to put twenty percent down on a house hack that would limit her living expenses? Or, is there a savvier, more creative way to finance her next property that could put Alex in a FAR better position? If you’re trying to hit FI before, after, or at forty-five, this episode is one you can’t afford to miss!In This Episode We CoverStarting your side hustle and boosting your income by turning extra time into moneyCreative financing and how to buy your first property at a rock-bottom mortgage rateHow to know if you have too much cash (and what to do with it)HSAs, IRAs, 401ks, and other retirement accounts you should be throwing cash at Becoming a real estate agent and whether or not it’s worth it for the commission checksDesigning the perfect portfolio for early retirement (even if you’re just getting started)House hacking and how to use your primary residence to generate passive incomeAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingScott's InstagramMindy's TwitterListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!Subscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelListen to The “On The Market” Podcast: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, BiggerPocketsCheck Out Mindy’s 2022 Live Spending Tracker and BudgetMoney MomentFinance Friday: Why “Doing Everything Yourself” is Costing You THOUSANDSHow to Make Extra Money in 2023: 21 Ideas for Part-Time Gigs & Side HustlesFrom Extreme Poverty to DIY Wealth and 2 Full-Time Incomes w/The She Wolfe of Wall StreetClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/money-395Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

393: SVB's Risky Bailout and The Bank Run “Domino Effect”

Both SVB (Silicon Valley Bank) and Signature Bank have crashed and burned dramatically over the past week. What once was a few large customers making withdrawals quickly turned into a bank run of epic proportions. Within just a few days, SVB went from one of the largest banks in the United States to one of the biggest bank failures in the nation’s history. But what led to such a fast-paced collapse, and are more banks on the chopping block?You don’t need to be an expert economist to understand what happened at SVB and Signature Bank this week. But you will want to hear Dave Meyer’s take on what could come next. With bailouts back on the table, many Americans fear we’re on the edge of a total financial collapse, mirroring what unfolded in 2008. With more and more Americans going on cash grabs, trying to keep their wealth safe from the “domino effect” of bank failures, what should everyday investors prepare for?More specifically, for our beloved real estate investors, how could SVB’s failure affect the housing market? Will the Federal Reserve finally be forced to end its aggressive rate hikes? Could money flood into real estate as hard assets become more attractive? Stick around as Dave explains this week’s wild events and what it could mean for the future of the US economy.In This Episode We CoverSVB’s (Silicon Valley Bank) collapse explained and why it failed so fastThe bank run “domino effect” that could put other intuitions at riskWhy a “bailout” happened so quickly, and whether customer funds were securedBond yields and why making long-term investments was a risky bet for SVB The future of mortgage rates and how SVB’s failure could lead to fewer rate hikesThe psychology behind a bank failure and how it affects the entire economyAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingBiggerPockets BootcampsJoin BiggerPockets for FREEScott's InstagramMindy's TwitterListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!Subscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelListen to The “On The Market” Podcast: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, BiggerPocketsCheck Out Mindy’s 2022 Live Spending Tracker and BudgetDave’s BiggerPockets ProfileDave’s InstagramHow Did A $200B+ Bank Collapse In 48 Hours?

392: Kevin O'Leary: Ultimate Investing Advice from Mr. Wonderful

Kevin O’Leary (AKA Mr. Wonderful) might be the world’s favorite (and most outspoken) investor. You’ve probably seen him on Shark Tank, where he’s doing deals with startups, putting overconfident entrepreneurs in their place, and often making boring products into billion-dollar companies. Kevin has the Midas touch, or at least it seems that way on television. Still, he doesn’t shy away from mentioning failures and the enormous lessons he’s learned that eventually led him to make hundreds of millions of dollars.But before Kevin was Mr. Wonderful, he was just Kevin, the local ice cream scooper who learned a hard lesson about being an employee. After college, Kevin started a production business, which eventually led him to create The Learning Company, a $4.2 billion business that allowed Kevin to enter into a new stage of wealth. Since then, he’s been aggressively investing in (and building) private companies inside and out of Shark Tank. And after investing so heavily and working so hard, Kevin knows EXACTLY what makes a company (and investment) succeed or fail.Today, we get a glimpse inside Kevin’s personal investment portfolio, the three things he thinks EVERY entrepreneur should have to make it big, and why diversification is one of the most CRUCIAL ways to build and protect your wealth. You’ll also hear how to invest in startups like Kevin does, why Kevin makes big bets on women entrepreneurs, and how he’s investing during today’s recessionary environment.In This Episode We CoverKevin’s investment portfolio exposed and which assets he’s all-in onThe difference between an entrepreneur and an employee and why Kevin only worked one jobWhy you MUST start tracking your income and expenses unless you want to remain brokeThe three things EVERY investor/entrepreneur needs to make it bigWhy building a portfolio beats investing in single stocks, companies, or ideasThe government program that could pay you hundreds of thousands if you own a businessHow to start investing in startups and small businesses like Kevin does on Shark Tank And So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingScott's InstagramMindy's TwitterListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!Subscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelListen to The “On The Market” Podcast: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, BiggerPocketsCheck Out Mindy’s 2022 Live Spending Tracker and BudgetMoney Moment3 Rules for Crushing It in BusinessHere’s What It Takes to Succeed as an EntrepreneurClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/money-Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

391: Finance Friday: Why “Doing Everything Yourself” is Costing You THOUSANDS

Your small business could be the key to financial independence, early retirement, and more income than your W2 is paying you. But, most small business owners don’t understand the best way to grow their income stream. With a DIY mentality, you could be stuck doing the skilled work, answering the emails, picking up phone calls, bookkeeping, and spinning ten plates at the same time while your business fails to grow. Instead, you must step out of the “solopreneur” role and into the “business owner” mindset that can help you quickly make a six-figure income while working for yourself.Today’s guest Amy took a big risk, leaving her job to start her physical therapy practice. She’s been slowly building up her income to a stable monthly amount but wants to spend more time on money-making activities in her business and less on administrative work that she could easily hire out. With a few quick calculations, Scott and Mindy devise a scalable way for Amy to start bringing in six figures while outsourcing all the work she doesn’t love.And even though Amy wants to make more income, she’s not obsessed with hitting FIRE fast. Instead, she wants a slow path to FI, one where she can focus on raising her son, spending time with her family, and helping the patients that need it most. So if you’re stuck in a small business or side hustle that takes too much time while making too little, stick around for some stellar advice from Scott and Mindy!In This Episode We CoverThe slow path to financial freedom and why you DON’T need to race to retire earlySmall businesses, side hustles, and when it’s worth quitting your job to pursue your passionOutsourcing and how to take the most menial tasks off your plate so you can focus on making more moneyWebsites, referrals, and other marketing tactics to bring in new business Auto loans and the “gray area” of interest rates that EVERY listener should be careful ofUnit economics 101 and what all solopreneurs need to do to grow a full-on businessAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingScott's InstagramMindy's TwitterListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!Subscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelListen to The “On The Market” Podcast: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, BiggerPocketsCheck Out Mindy’s 2022 Live Spending Tracker and BudgetMoney MomentHow to Outsource Your Way to Multiple Streams of IncomeThe 3 Main Stages of Scaling Your Small BusinessBuying and Growing a Small Business With Little to No Risk21 Ideas for Part-Time Gigs & Side HustlesClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/money-391Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

390: Why Your Whole Life Insurance (Probably) Won’t Ever Profit

Is whole life insurance a scam or a worthwhile investment? You may have heard us talk about whole life insurance before, but we’d bet we’re not the only ones mentioning it to you. Your financial advisor, business partner, parents, or fellow investors could have also let you in on the “amazing benefits” that only whole life insurance can provide. But how much of this is fact, and how much is fiction? And, if whole life insurance is such a bulletproof investment, why not buy a policy right now instead of investing for retirement?We brought on Dr. Jim Dahle, better known as, The White Coat Investor, to explain the truth behind the whole life insurance system and whether or not it really is a scam. Jim started his financial education during his medical school residency after realizing that almost every financial professional was trying to take advantage of him. Whether it was a real estate agent, financial advisor, or accountant, Jim felt like he couldn’t hold his own when in casual conversation with them. So, he beefed up his knowledge of investing and finance and started The White Coat Investor to help doctors, just like him, make sense of their cents.Early in his investing career, Jim spent over seven years paying into a high-priced whole life insurance policy, only to realize that he made a negative return. Now, he’s here to educate EVERY investor on what whole life insurance really is, who truly needs it, and the MASSIVE commissions salespeople make when selling you a policy. If you have whole life insurance, you NEED to hear this. And if you don’t, you’ll now understand why it’s pushed so hard on everyday Americans.In This Episode We CoverWhole life insurance explained, and the real benefit of having a policyTerm life insurance vs. whole life insurance and which is better bang for your buckSales commission schemes and why whole life insurance policies are so expensiveThe situations when a whole life insurance policy makes sense (and when it DOES NOT)The “infinite banking” illusion and why this capital-raising tactic isn’t as clever as it seemsRebuttals to make next time your financial advisor pushes a policy on youFee-based vs. fee-only financial advisors and which have your best interest at heartAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingScott's InstagramMindy's TwitterListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!Subscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelListen to The “On The Market” Podcast: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, BiggerPocketsCheck Out Mindy’s 2022 Live Spending Tracker and BudgetMoney MomentHow to Find the Best Possible Certified Financial Planner (CFP) for Your Needs with Kyle MastEverything You Never Wanted to Know About Life Insurance (But Absolutely Need To)Why All Real Estate Investors Should Have Solid Life Insurance CoverageClick here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/money-390Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

389: Finance Friday: How to DOUBLE Your Net Worth in 1 Year (or Less!)

Doubling your net worth in only a year? Seems impossible, right? Is making such massive money moves during a down market even realistic? If you think it can’t be done, tune in, and you’ll hear exactly how repeat guest Yourri Dessureault did it. Yourri’s name may sound familiar; we talked to him back on BiggerPockets Money episode 236, where he spoke about trying to achieve a massive $7,000,000 retirement goal while making $120K per year. But, a lot has changed in seventeen-or-so months.Yourri has returned with a much bigger paycheck, a ten-unit real estate portfolio, and a net worth that dwarfs what he presented in 2021. So, how did he make such big moves, and what was the catalyst for him to get on the financial freedom fast track? Over the past year, Yourri has been extremely disciplined with his finances, looking at every dollar he had and asking whether or not it was doing the best it could. As a result, he’s decided to sell off some significant stock holdings, put his Bitcoin mining on pause, and go headfirst into the world of real estate investing.Now, with nine rental properties out of state, Yourri is starting to build an outsourced team that can work to help his wealth grow while he spearheads an effort to fund bigger, better deals. Through intelligent networking, Yourri found a “golden goose,” slowly feeding him real estate deals that’ll make him rich in no time. If you want to repeat Yourri’s almost unbelievable system for building wealth quickly, you’ll need to tune in!In This Episode We CoverWhy Yourri said “bye-bye” to Bitcoin and hello to real estate investing How to get a raise at work and taking on more responsibility for a much larger paycheckOut-of-state real estate investing and using it to buy cheap houses with phenomenal cash flowFinancing your rental properties and what to do when no one will fund your mortgageSelling stocks and when it’s time to trade passive investing for active incomeTraditional 401(k)s vs. Roth 401(k)s and which to pick when you’re in a high tax bracketAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingScott's InstagramMindy's TwitterListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!Subscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelListen to The “On The Market” Podcast: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, BiggerPocketsCheck Out Mindy’s 2022 Live Spending Tracker and BudgetMoney MomentFinance Friday: Enjoy Life Before FI with Simple Investing StrategiesYour Step-by-Step Guide to Buying Out-of-State Investment PropertiesFinance Friday: How to Hit $10M Net Worth in 10 Years (Or Less)Click here to check the full show notes: https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/money-389Interested in learning more about today's sponsors or becoming a BiggerPockets partner yourself?

388: Twitter’s “Warning Shot” and What to Look for When Investing in Tech

Twitter’s massive layoffs affected the tech industry more than people think. For years, tech stocks ran with enormous valuations, with over-inflated workforces of employees getting paid six-figure salaries with even more impressive bonus packages. This wasn’t sustainable by any means, and as a new type of CEO steps in, tech companies are looking to get leaner, more operationally efficient, and return to their startup-like roots. But how does this reforming tech market affect the US economy?We brought on Aman Verjee, founder of Practical Venture Capital, to explain what’s happening in Silicon Valley and what it means for your finances. Aman has worked in the tech sector for almost as long as it’s been relevant. FromPayPal to eBay, Sonos, and more, Aman has been on the ground floor of some of the most promising tech companies, helping them operate with leaner teams while bringing in bigger revenues. And as an industry expert, Aman isn’t surprised or disappointed by the recent tech layoffs.He touches on why these layoffs aren’t what most people think, how they could affect the overall economy, what CEOs need to know to survive this market, and what everyday investors should look at BEFORE buying tech stocks. Aman’s practical advice is CRUCIAL for anyone investing. And as the stock market becomes more and more tech-centered, knowing some of this information could help you make FAR more lucrative decisions on which companies you’re rooting for.In This Episode We CoverTech layoffs in 2023 and why the number of employees being cut isn’t what it seemsTwitter’s “warning shot” that sent other CEOs into an efficiency-first modeWork-from-home culture and whether or not a return to the office is happeningWhat to look for in a tech company that’s about to IPO and telltale signs of solid growthInvesting in public markets and why Warren Buffet’s super simple advice still appliesWhat business owners should know when trying to grow and scale their small businessesAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingScott's InstagramMindy's TwitterListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!Subscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelListen to The “On The Market” Podcast: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, BiggerPocketsCheck Out Mindy’s 2022 Live Spending Tracker and BudgetMoney MomentAnnual Event 2022 - Peter Zeihan PresentationSilicon Valley Investors ClubFinance Friday: First Down Market?

387: Finance Friday: Is Staying At Your Job Costing You More Than You Think?

Most people assume that buying rental properties is only for those making six-figure salaries. How can the average American afford the sizeable down payment and high interest rates of today’s housing market? Let us introduce you to Tiffany, a twenty-three-year-old from Colorado who’s using her $41,000 salary to build wealth at an early age. Tiffany is doing this all while bringing in just a few thousand dollars a month without a four-year degree. She’s ready to buy her second property this year but wants to speed up her timeline.With a smaller salary, Tiffany has had to be smart with her expenses. She’s already house hacking, allowing her to wipe out a significant portion of her mortgage. She also has side hustles and keeps her costs low to save as much as she can every month. But, with years of experience in her social media management job, she could be leaving money on the table by not job hopping to greener pastures with bigger paychecks. This could make a HUGE difference on her bottom line every month.Tiffany is also debating whether a college degree is worth it as she looks to bring home a business degree. With “YouTube University” and numerous free and low-cost education platforms online, Tiffany doesn’t know whether a college degree is what it once was and wants to be sure the investment she’s making will pay dividends, not just present her with a glorified piece of paper. So, if you’re starting your investing journey or want to invest on a lower income, this is the episode for you!In This Episode We CoverHouse hacking explained and how you can live mortgage-free by renting out extra roomsRaises, boosting your income, and when to leave your job for a higher-paying employerThe 203(k) loan and using it to “live in BRRRR” your way to a significant real estate portfolioThe ROI of college and whether or not a degree is even worth the effort in 2023401(k) matching and how having an employer with benefits can be a BIG boost to your wealthStarting your side hustle and turning your skills into income by sacrificing a few hours a weekAnd So Much More!Links from the ShowBiggerPockets Money Facebook GroupBiggerPockets ForumsFinance Review Guest OnboardingScott's InstagramMindy's TwitterListen to All Your Favorite BiggerPockets Podcasts in One PlaceApply to Be a Guest on The Money ShowPodcast Talent Search!Subscribe to The “On The Market” YouTube ChannelListen to The “On The Market” Podcast: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, BiggerPocketsCheck Out Mindy’s 2022 Live Spending Tracker and BudgetMoney MomentHouse Hacking 101: What It Is and How to Get StartedIs College Worth the Cost?
