The Real Estate Guys Radio Show - Real Estate Investing Education For Effective Action

Summits are high level events where thought leaders and the most committed participants in any movement or process come together to share ideas, fortify relationships and gain important perspectives. That's why our annual Investor Summit at Sea is SO much more than just another seminar, conference or cruise. Our 12th edition in 2014 was arguably our best ever.  And that's saying a LOT.  They're all great, but 2014 was special because of the theme, the timing, the mix of people, and one of the most powerful collection of teachers we've ever had. This episode was recorded on board the ship and features the reflections, epiphanies and comments from many of our stellar faculty members. We can't wait to do it again!  We hope YOU decide to be with us for our 13th Annual Investor Summit at Sea in 2015!  All the details are available at www.realestateguysradio.com/summit.  Don't miss the boat!

Our friend Robert Kiyosaki says "Savers are losers".  Does that mean you shouldn't save?  Of course not!As real estate prices rise and lending comes back into the market, real estate investors are going to be realizing profits - whether from sales or refinances.  Plus, the more properties you own, they more cash reserves you hold.In both cases, investors end up sitting on piles of dollars.  While that might sound good (it's better than the alternative), it also presents a challenge.  Even with the tiny taper, the Fed is still effectively printing $75 billion a month.  This has the potential to severely weaken the dollar.  If you have lots of dollars, then that's a problem for you.In this episode, we talk with special guest Anthem Blanchard who helps us understand precious metals as an alternative to dollars for the long term storage of wealth.The Real Estate Guys™ radio show provides real estate investing news, education, training, perspectives and resources to help real estate investors succeed.  Learn more

Whether times are good, bad, uncertain or chaotic, it always makes sense to focus on fundamentals.  And there's nothing more fundamental than food.So even though the world is in the "information" age, it didn't leave industry or agriculture.  New opportunities don't mean old ones disappear or aren't attractive.  And when the value of something as central to commerce as currency is falling into question, where can investors go not just to hedge, but to profit?In this episode, we visit with the CEO of an international investment company.  He shares with us the path of discovery his firm and clients explored in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.  The conclusions they came to and where those led to are the focus of the conversation.  We found it fascinating and think you will too!The Real Estate Guys™ radio show provides real estate investing news, education, training, perspectives and resources to help real estate investors succeed.  Learn more and subscribe to the free newsletter at www.realestateguysradio.

We think crowdfunding will be to connecting dollars to deals what social media has been to connecting people.  Yeah, it could be THAT big. So we went out to the 2nd annual Crowdfunding Bootcamp to find out more.  Of course, we took our mobile microphones. While we were there we chatted with the leading law firm in the space (yes, there are rules to follow), a super-bright crowdfunding real estate entrepreneur (yes, people are already doing it), a honcho for the Small Business Council (you can fund start-ups too!), and three of The Real Estate Guys™ listening audience who happened to be in attendance (good things happen when you get out and about!) It was a great time, we learned a lot, and we’re excited to share snippets of the experience with you!
