How to Avoid Being a “Bi-Polar Investor” | If you were thinking about buying investment property, wouldn't it be nice to get some advice from someone who has already done what you're trying to do? That's what we do on this episode of the Real Wealth Show. After last week's show, we got an email from a listener, Jim Jontz, that said: "Kathy, I think I'm a bi-polar investor. Meaning, I keep going back and forth between being an optimistic investor to a pessimist. So my question to you is...how do I approach a deal with the confidence of knowing that, in spite of my optimism or pessimism at the time, I am making a prudent evaluation of the facts?” Since Kathy has heard a similar challenge from other investors, she decided it was best to interview Jim on the show. Plus, Jim owns several investment properties, so Kathy figured he'd also have some valuable insights for you! So on this episode, you'll learn: >> How to approach your investing with confidence >> What question to ask when looking at a pro forma >> How to avoid the tricks that some real estate salespeople play >> What kind of cap rates and cash on cash returns make sense to Jim >> And a whole bunch of other good ideas! . | 4/21/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

How to Profit by Correctly Timing Real Estate Markets | How can we get better at timing the markets? That is the million dollar question. If we could just time the ups and downs of housing, we could really profit from that knowledge and be able to avoid loses by selling on time. Unfortunately, most of the data we get is focused on past results. So how is that supposed to help us when we need to be forward thinking? On this episode Kathy interviews Scott Sambucci, COO of Altos Research. By watching the geo-local active housing market and tracking the changes once a week, Altos Research has learned a few things. Their leading indicators allow them to predict the future with statistical reliability. The AltosEvaluate Forward Valuation Model (FVM) takes the most relevant leading indicators and applies their proprietary algorithm to predict transaction prices up to a year in the future. On this episode, you will learn: >> Why most of the major price indices won't help you as an investor >> What data should you look at when doing your market research >> What might happen with the 6 million homeowners about to lose their homes >> What's likely to happen with real estate over the next six months >> Why right now is a great time to be a landlord . | 3/25/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Calling in Live from an Income Property Tour | Rich Fettke hosts this episode of the Real Wealth Show as Kathy calls in from an income property tour with a group of Australian real estate investors. As you probably know, the Real Wealth Show is brought to you by Real Wealth Network. Since 2003 Real Wealth Network has helped hundreds of people find the best investment properties, at the right price, in the strongest markets. That's why Kathy is on this investor property tour.

The Australian investors know that US real estate is on sale and they are grabbing as many cash flow positive income properties as they can right now. Kathy also had a chance to interview a few of the Aussies to see what they thought of US real estate and what they thought of St. Louis specifically -- since they had just spent the day there.

Top Ten Real Estate Predictions for 2012 | Millions of people have been making predictions about 2012, ever since the Mayans ruled Central America. Hollywood even made a movie about it! So Kathy figured she would take a stab at it with a focus on real estate investing.

Good economic news will fuel job growth, and more jobs will fuel home sales. Expect price increases on housing (albeit quite small).

Positivity and real investment ideas in an environment of doom & gloom.
Positivity and real investment ideas in an environment of doom & gloom.
too many commercials
could be interesting but the many commercials interspersed were annoying.
Lots of information, presented clearly without a lot of hype.
I stumbled upon Kathy's show a few Sunday's ago and I was very impressed! I don't have a background in Real Estate or Investing but it's something I've always wanted to learn about. Kathy's show has demistified Real Estate investing for me. She broke down investment strategies into a language that even I could understand! I highly recommend this podcast!
