Last week my wife and I took a vacation to Turks and Caicos. Turks and Caicos is in the Caribbean close to Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and the Bahamas. It is a beautiful country with many islands, but only 30,000 people. I love vacations because of the time I get to spend with my family (no kids on this trip), time I get to relax, and because vacations help my business become more successful. On this podcast I talk all about why your business needs to be set up so that you can take vacations, ...

On this episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast I talk about debt. I hear how bad debt is all the time. How debt ruins lives, how it ties down people, and how the banks are the only ones that benefit from debt. I have a completely different view about debt. I love debt! You have to be careful how you use debt, but if used right it can make you much more money than paying cash for everything. I have debt on my personal house, 13 of my 14 rental properties, 15 of my 16 flips, and on a co...

2016 was an exciting and fun year. I did not reach all of my goals, but that was okay because my goals still pushed me to do more and work hard.

I have many strong beliefs about retirement and why the traditional model comes up short for many people. On today's episode of the InvestFourMore Real Estate Podcast I talk to M.C Laubscher who has a similar viewpoint about the best way to retire.

I have always bought single family rentals, except for one duplex I bought last year. I sold that duplex this year for a nice profit, but single family homes have been very good to me. I am not going to say single family homes are always the best investment, because I think different investments work better for different people in different markets. I stopped buying rentals in Colorado because our prices have increased so much in the last few years. Many people have asked me if I have thought ab...

In fact, I signed up for a public relations company to learn how to reach rep...
