Welcome to today’s episode of The Creating Wealth Show where Jason Hartman reminds you that there is an important distinction to make between interest rates, housing affordability and the ability to qualify for a loan based on the usual things, such as credit score and debt-to-income ratio. There's a general overriding concept of credit availability, not directly related to interest rates: this is the willingness of lenders to lend and the ability of borrowers to borrow, measured by the Mortgage Credit Availability Index (MCAI). The credit supply is down, meaning it is now harder to get a mortgage than it used to be. Jason Hartman welcomes Patrick Ceresna, Founder of Big Picture Trading and host of the MacroVoices Podcast to the show today to talk about the current macroeconomic picture we are facing today. Patrick explains why our inflation problems are not going away anytime soon. The only mechanism which the central banks have to slow an economy is the cost of credit, reflected in interest rate policy. However, the problem in this cycle is that when the inflation is not driven by massive demand, but rather supply issues, then the ability for monetary policy to actually have an impact diminishes.

In this 10th episode show of Creating Wealth where we discuss a topic of general interest, Jason Hartman invites New York Times Bestselling author Vivek Ramaswamy to speak about his book Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America's Social Justice Scam. Today’s economic landscape is rife with companies using economic force as a substitute for free speech and open debate to settle political and social questions. Vivek Ramaswamy is concerned with this new cancer, both in our culture and in our private sector, which threatens to kill the dream that Martin Luther King Jr. had 60 years ago. This new philosophy that says that your identity is based on your race, sex, religion, or your sexual orientation is reductive. It takes the true diversity of voices in our country, the true diversity of perspectives within each of us and reduces us to nothing more than the embodiment of a group identity. Vivek makes the case to separate capitalism and democracy in order to preserve the integrity of both. K...
Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 1184 published last May 1, 2019. Jason Hartman begins today's episode from the city of Shanghai, one of the largest (and densest) cities in the world. Since he's been in town he's started thinking about the importance of population density on real estate. It impacts everything from quality of life to desirability of businesses to the pricing of every unit. Then Jason talks with client Greg Scott about his journey from accidental landlord to an owner of multifamily properties. Greg and Jason examine why people don't know whether they're winning or losing, how Greg was able to continue investing through the Great Recession, and what sort of demographics are making being a landlord look better and better. Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 4:10 It's important not to overlook the importance of population density 6:51 One of the huge drivers of real estate prices is population density 11:47 Even after "graduating" to bigger deals, Jason believes the...
There have been staggering price increases around the country in the last year in many sectors. Jason Hartman gives you the latest year over year numbers on rents, hotels and auto loans. The increases are staggering! In just one American city, rents have increased 40.8% in just one year! It's truly shocking to see rents go up that quickly, but if you take a quick look around the world, it’s even worse. When a housing market correction eventually happens, it will put upward pressure on rents. That's the beauty of income property. Other asset classes such as the stock market, don't have the great multi dimensional characteristics we have with income property. As economic times change, the middle class is continuing to be hollowed out and things that were considered normal will soon be luxuries for many people. The destruction of the middle class has been underway for decades and it's coming to a real inflection point. Traveling, buying your own house and having your own car will be a...
Is an imminent housing market crash reality or fiction? Jason Hartman invites apartment syndicator Kyle Kovats to the show today to talk about where the housing market was in times of crisis and where it is going now. He presents housing, mortgage and demographic data that paint a very different picture from what many doom and gloomers are saying. There is so much media sensationalism around the current housing market and lots of people predicting that it’s going to come crashing down just like it did in 2008-09, but few people are looking at the real data and making informed predictions based on the real numbers. Leading up to the 2008 financial crisis, there were three things happening: we were overbuilt, there were funny money loans, and demographics were vastly different. None of that remains true right now! We have very different market conditions and Kyle makes the case that a crash is highly unlikely.

Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 553, published last August 10, 2015. Jeff, an existing client, is researching buying multiple properties at once in the Chicago area. After much debate about the advantages and disadvantages Jason gives a thumbs up in support of the venture. Because it’s true that buying multiple properties at once will save investors time and paperwork. Affordable maintenance costs, low vacancy rates and cost of living make Chicago the least expensive world class city in the U.S. And don’t miss next Wednesday when Jason interviews another presidential candidate and tells you more about JHU Live, a real estate investment workshop in sunny San Diego, California.

Jason Hartman wishes you all a very happy 4th of July celebrating the independence and constitution of this great country and gives you the latest numbers on the biggest scam of all - inflation! He reports the latest CPI inflation numbers to see how much extra your Fourth of July BBQ will cost you this year. Today’s guest is Peter S. Goodman, Global Economic Correspondent for The New York Times and they discuss his new book: Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World. Is the World Economic Forum conference in Davos a serious discussion about climate change and injustice or just a chance for billionaires to get together and do business? The World Economic Forum institution was started by German economist Klaus Schwab back in the 70s, on the proposition that if you got businesses and governments together, you could solve a lot of problems. He's into public private partnerships. He's into Win Win solutions. But along the way, it has become, under the guise of a nonprofit found...
Today's Flashback Friday is from episode 271 published on August 1, 2012. Jason Hartman answers client questions, discusses the organization of your real estate portfolio and is interviewed by Future Money Trends. During the interview, Jason discusses the multi-dimensional nature of income property and the one-dimensional or maybe two-dimensional nature of other investments as well as the demand equation. They can outsource all the manufacturing jobs to China, they can outsource all the call centers and administrative jobs to India or the Philippines, they can even “outsource” retail shopping to the internet; however, so long as the U.S. population is increasing there will be increased demand for housing. This is especially true with all the home-based business and corporate people working at home. Even Fortune 1000 companies are telling some of their employees to work at home. Remember that people only have three choices 1) buy, 2) rent or 3) be homeless. Be sure to join Jason an...
Ladies and gentlemen we have an economy built on smoke and mirrors, built on a house of cards. Let’s not forget that currency is lent into existence and today, Jason Hartman shares exactly how much outstanding credit the United States has. Also, house inventory levels are starting to move in an upward direction. We’re still a far cry from normal market levels, but Jason gives you the latest numbers from Altos Research. Joseph Wang, aka The Fed Guy, former senior trader on the open markets desk at the Federal Reserve is back for part 2 of his interview today. Joseph gives his take on the Fed’s response during times of economic crisis such as the Great Recession and the recent pandemic. Was it right of the Fed to get involved and stimulate the economy, or should they have let the economy and markets work themselves out?
