Real estate is the single greatest investment on earth, but considering where the market's headed, building wealth won't be as easy as wholesale deals, flips, or buy-and-holds. As interest rates continue to rise, fewer people will be able to get mortgages the traditional way - which will drive strategies like seller financing to the fore. Creative financing is a solution with a huge opportunity pool - one might even call it recession-proof. How do we learn to structure the deals so it actually solves problems for both sides of the transaction? Why is this current market (and the one we're headed into) so ripe for seller financing? In this episode, author, coach, discount note expert, and the president and founder of NoteSchool™, Eddie Speed shares his extensive knowledge of creative financing, and why it's about to be the most sought-after wealth strategy in real estate.

With interest rates going up, there's no area of our financial lives that hasn't seen eye-watering price hikes, but isn't it funny how the rates on the money you keep in the bank haven't gone up too? Financial institutions are getting all the benefits of higher interest rates at our expense. So where can we put it if we can't trust them to grow our money? In today's episode, I talk about why in a rising interest rate environment banks aren't paying you more, and more importantly, what you can do about it. Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode How banks make their money (and why it's always to your detriment)What can we learn from banks and use it to our advantage? What banks don't want you to knowThanks to the Fed, banks are flush with cash. Is that why they can't even entice us to deposit money? How to get your money away from the banks and into a more beneficial modelIf we can't rely on banks to play and pay fair, where do we put our money?

All our lives, it's been drummed into us to save our money, put it in the bank, and wait. But what the banks don't tell you is what they do with those hard-earned dollars. Your money doesn't just sit in your account. The banks lend it out, earning up to 1400% on it, while the value of your original deposit erodes. The good news is, you can opt-out of this rigged system by becoming the bank in your own right. You already have money that you can use to become a private lender, and getting started is more accessible than you've been led to believe. So what does it take to become your own bank? How do you start with very little cash? In this episode, you'll learn how easy it is to become the bank, and why you would want to take over the banking function in your life in the first place. Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode What banks do with the money you deposit (hint: it doesn't benefit you)Are banks using the buying power of your money to make themselves even richer? How your money looks when it's working for youHow much money can you earn from the lazy money you already have sitting in your home equity, bank, or brokerage account? How easy it is to take over the banking function in your lifeDo you need to have millions of dollars saved up to become the bank?

If the last few years have taught us anything, it's that the central planners at the helm of our economy can and will sabotage all of us. Instead of handling money with the precision of a scalpel, they chose to attack with a hatchet - and you, me, our children, and future generations will pay dearly for it. Money and freedom go hand in hand, but the modern-day panopticon that is the money printer compromises that freedom. How can we prepare for this storm? What is the true potential of cryptocurrencies in the battle for our freedom? In this episode, I'm joined by full-time investor, entrepreneur, and sound money advocate, Mark Moss. We talk about seeing past the smoke and mirrors of the economy, and protecting ourselves from its effects. Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode Why central planning will always fail How did we end up in this financial mess? How to sift through the noise When it comes to investing, there's a lot of information out there. How do we sift through all of it and take action on it at the right time? How to claw back our financial freedomA lot of our freedom lies in the freedom of payments, can cryptocurrencies provide a way out of the monetary panopticon?

He has been through multiple market crashes, and built multiple 7 and 8-figure business and investment portfolios, through the worst market cycles, giving him the experience and perspective the young bucks are missing today.

How do we proactively create a plan for hard times? What are the key areas of self-reliance we need to be aware of?
