• 2395: The Scam of Inflation & The Great Alchemy: Debt, AI, and the Future of Wealth
    Feb 25 2026

    Jason announced his relinquishment of the title "richest homeless man in the world" after nearly two years of nomadic living, during which he traveled the world twice. He discussed the State of the Union speech's focus on housing affordability and the government's approach to supporting existing homeowners without lowering property prices. Jason explored the impact of tariffs on the economy, suggesting that they encourage efficiency and competition among businesses, particularly with China. He emphasized the importance of a balanced playing field in international trade and expressed support for reasonable government oversight. He ended with an invitation to attend Empowered Investor Live in Orange County, California, in May, and a reminder about the monthly masterclasses held on the second Wednesday of each month.

    Jason expounds on the financial advantages of real estate investing, specifically focusing on how long-term mortgages act as a hedge against inflation and taxes. By utilizing leverage, investors can achieve a "negative" real interest rate because the value of the debt they owe decreases as the purchasing power of the dollar drops. He argues that the United States offers a unique environment for this strategy due to subsidized 30-year fixed-rate loans and high market transparency compared to international options. Additionally, the discussion addresses modern concerns like artificial intelligence, suggesting that technology will ultimately drive economic abundance and increased housing demand rather than market collapse. Finally, Jason highlights a significant supply shortage, predicting that even minor drops in interest rates will trigger a massive influx of buyers, further pushing up property values.

  • 2394: The Great Inventory Spread: Capitalizing on the Gap Between Rising Populations and Shrinking Housing Supply
    Feb 23 2026

    Jason discusses his transition from a nomadic lifestyle back to homeownership, reflecting on how capitalism efficiently provides global resources. His conversation with Michael Zuber shifts to the impact of artificial intelligence, which Hartman views as a long-term wealth creator despite its potential to cause short-term job displacement and widen the wealth gap. He predicts that while high-tech hubs like Silicon Valley may face local real estate risks due to AI-driven layoffs, the broader housing market remains a strong investment. Jason highlights a significant supply-demand imbalance, noting that the U.S. population has grown by millions since the 2008 recession while housing inventory has plummeted. Ultimately, Jason and Michael suggest that investors can find major opportunities by providing rental housing to a growing population in an increasingly digital economy.

  • 2393 FBF: Bobby Monks - Uninvested, How Wall Street Hijacks Your Money & How to Fight Back
    Feb 20 2026

    This Flashback Friday is from episode 608, published December 17, 2015.

    If you were on the fence about Wall Street being the modern version of organized crime after listening to this episode you may quickly empty out your retirement account and invest it in income property. Putting clients interests after their own is perfectly legal in today's mutual fund industry and even the supposed protective watchdog agency, FINRA gets all of their funding from Wall Street. Our guest, Bobby Monks, helps us, the average investors to demystify the market and advises us on safer places to invest our money (it's real estate! Who knew?).

  • 2392: Protecting Wealth from the "Three L's": The Power of 1031 Exchanges and Income Property
    Feb 18 2026

    Jason Hartman and Michael Zuber reflect on the success of a recent investment conference and the enduring value of in-person networking. Hartman emphasizes that successful investing requires emotional discipline, noting that many people lose wealth by selling assets at the wrong time due to personal crises or market fear. He uses an iceberg metaphor to explain that while many focus only on cash flow, the most significant financial benefits of real estate often remain hidden "below the water line" in the form of tax advantages and inflation-induced debt destruction. The pair also critiques "crash bros" who incorrectly predicted a housing market collapse, arguing instead that a persistent housing shortage continues to support property values. To conclude, Hartman invites listeners to his upcoming Empowered Investor Live event in California, which will feature prominent financial speakers and data-driven insights. This dialogue reinforces their shared philosophy that income property remains the most historically proven and tax-favored asset class available to investors.

To assist with this, Jason strongly advocates for using Property Tracker, a software tool designed to create one-year financial projections and analyze how variables like inflation affect debt.

  • 2389: Co-Living Real Estate and the Rent-to-Value Ratio: How to Generate $7,200 Monthly from a Single-Family Home | Q & A Rebel Capitalist
    Feb 11 2026

    Jason joins Gene Morris of Rebel Capitalist for a Q&A session. He discusses the shifting landscape of the property market under a new political administration, predicting a significant rise in sales volume. He advocates for income property over speculative assets like Bitcoin, highlighting the unique "multi-dimensional" returns and tax benefits found in real estate. Jason introduces his "inflation-induced debt destruction" strategy, explaining how fixed-rate mortgages allow investors to pay back loans with devalued currency during inflationary periods. He further categorizes locations into linear, cyclical, and hybrid markets, advising investors to prioritize boring, stable areas with favorable landlord laws. The conversation also explores emerging trends like co-living properties and the advantages of the United States market compared to international options.

  • 2388: The Golden Rule of Wealth, The Warsh Effect & Yield Curve vs. the 30-Year Mortgages
    Feb 9 2026

    Michael Zuber and Jason Hartman analyze the current financial landscape, specifically contrasting volatile speculative assets with stable income-producing real estate. Jason defines a true investment as one that generates consistent income, labeling Bitcoin, gold, and silver as mere speculations or stores of value rather than wealth creators. The conversation highlights a significant housing supply shortage across the United States, which the speakers believe provides a "moat" of protection for property owners. They predict that while commercial syndications may face significant financial pain and devaluations, the single-family rental market remains a historically proven asset class. Ultimately, the source emphasizes that favorable monetary policies and high demand for housing will continue to benefit conservative real estate investors over the next decade.
