About the show

The mission of AIPIS is to properly educate real estate specialists and investors in the proven methods of income property investments as a road to building wealth. AIPIS Education Program Jason Hartman, internationally known investment property guru, had a vision. He wanted to share his 25+ years of real estate experience with a wider audience, so that they could benefit from everything he had learned. The idea for the Accredited Income Property Investment Specialist program grew out of Jason's desire to help Realtors, mortgage officers, and financial advisors earn income via assisting their clients to build successful income property portfolios. He also wanted to assist these same professionals with a means to earn the necessary credits to renew their required licenses. The best way to accomplish all of these goals was to offer online courses. Thus, AIPIS was born! Jason Hartman has been involved in several thousand real estate transactions and has owned income properties in 11 states and 17 cities. His company, Platinum Properties Investor Network, Inc. helps people to achieve "The American Dream" of financial freedom via the purchase of income property in prudent markets. The three AIPIS courses that we are offering here, draw upon Jason's very successful and well-received home study course, the Complete Solution for Real Estate Investors™. Jason Hartman is the Founder and CEO of Platinum Properties Investor Network, the Hartman Media Company and the Jason Hartman Foundation. Starting with very little, Jason, while still in college and at the age of 19, embarked on a career in real estate. While he was brokering properties for clients, he was investing in his own portfolio along the way. Through creativity, persistence, and hard work, he soon joined the ranks of the top one percent of Realtors in the U.S. In quick succession, he earned a number of prestigious industry awards, and became a young multi-millionaire. Investors use Jason's podcasts, educational events, referrals, mentoring programs and property tracking software, to assist them with the location and purchase of investment properties in exceptional markets. Visit www.JasonHartman.com to learn more about the Platinum Property Investor Network. Jason also believes that giving back to the community is an important responsibility of successful entrepreneurs. He established the Jason Hartman Foundation, in 2005, with the goal of providing financial literacy education to young adults. The mission is to instill in young people those all-important real world skills, often not taught in school, which are the keys to the financial stability and success of future generations.

476: Economic Forecast and Labor Market Dynamics with Eric Basmajian

Economist Eric Basmajian joins Jason to analyze current economic trends, focusing specifically on the housing market, inflation, and recession risks. He explains that although homebuilder profit margins have compressed and residential construction has slowed, broader macroeconomic indicators—such as rising AI capital spending and a cyclical upturn in manufacturing employment—have kept recession probability remarkably low. Basmajian also addresses the unique dynamics of the modern labor market, noting that while layoffs remain historically rare due to labor shortages, finding new employment has become exceptionally challenging, particularly for younger demographics. Finally, they discuss the long-term productivity impacts of artificial intelligence, suggesting that while the technology will inevitably displace certain workers, the market will eventually reabsorb that labor into areas of new demand. https://empoweredinvestor.com/wednesday https://empoweredinvestorpro.com Contact our Investment Counselors today!

475: Builder Profit Margins Hit 26-Year Lows and Solving the American Housing Crisis

Property investors should prioritize seizing growth opportunities and actively avoid the opportunity costs of letting their capital remain idle. Current market conditions feature high mortgage rates and challenging housing affordability, yet human nature dictates that fear of loss remains a powerful motivator for market participation. Due to these economic hurdles, tenant retention has surged significantly as renters remain in place longer rather than attempting to purchase homes. Consequently, real estate investors can capitalize on compressed builder margins and various market incentives by consulting with professionals to optimize their portfolios. America is currently facing a severe housing affordability and shortage crisis, largely driven by restrictive government regulations and outdated zoning laws established during the progressive era. David Rand, the founding president and CEO of the Land Liberty Movement, explains that these pervasive barriers—including minimum lot sizes, excessive setback requirements, and mandatory double staircases—severely limit property rights and inflate construction costs. To combat these challenges, organizations like his advocate for state-level policy reforms that dismantle central planning and return decision-making power directly to property owners and developers. By easing these burdensome restrictions and embracing natural market prices, communities can foster innovative housing solutions like high-quality manufactured homes and mixed-use walkable neighborhoods. Ultimately, building a broad ideological consensus and reempowering individuals are essential steps to successfully restoring housing accessibility and the American dream for future generations. #EmpoweredInvestor #RealEstateInvesting #ROI #IncomeProperty #OpportunityCost #HousingMarket #MortgageRates #TenantRetention #BuildToRent #KBHomes #PropertyManagement #LandLiberty #JasonHartman #RealEstateOpportunities https://propertytracker.com/ https://empoweredinvestormarketplace.com/app/search https://empoweredinvestor.com/wednesday https://empoweredinvestorpro.com Contact our Investment Counselors today! _______________________________________________________________ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

474: The 'Free Lunch Metric' Revisited, Client Case Study - Dave Porter

Jason welcomes his long-term client David Porter, a retired executive who began investing in residential real estate around 2008. David explains his unique "free lunch metric," which he used to identify stable neighborhoods by ensuring fewer than 50% of local students qualified for government-assisted meals. Throughout the discussion, the pair explores the benefits of buy-and-hold strategies in linear markets like Indianapolis, emphasizing cash flow over speculative appreciation. David shares practical advice on managing property managers, maintaining financial buffers, and the importance of professional oversight for supposedly passive investments. They conclude by highlighting how David's courageous investing during the Great Recession successfully built a reliable income stream for his retirement. #FreeLunchMetric #RealEstateInvesting #CashFlowMachine #BuyAndHold #PropertyManagement #SingleFamilyHomes #IndianapolisRealEstate #PhoenixRealEstate #FinancialBuffer #PassiveIncome EmpoweredInvestor.com/Wednesday PropertyTracker.com _______________________________________________________________ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://empoweredinvestor.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://empoweredinvestor.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

473: The Delisting Dilemma and the $500,000 Equity Trap: Why Homeowners Refuse to Sell with Rick Sharga

Rick Sharga, founder of CJ Patrick Company, discusses current housing market conditions and economic trends. Rick explains that despite mortgage rates tripling since the pandemic, the housing market has shown resilience with 49 consecutive months of year-over-year price increases, though sales volume remains down for three years. He noted that while affordability remains a challenge with a $40,000 wage gap for median-income buyers, recent data shows pending sales and mortgage purchase applications running ahead of last year, suggesting pent-up demand may soon drive market recovery. Rick highlighted that inflation concerns stem largely from energy price increases following the Iran conflict, and emphasized that wage growth continues to outpace home price growth, making affordability slightly better. He also discussed how builders currently face a 10-month supply of new homes while existing home inventory remains tight, creating opportunities for investors in both markets. https://empoweredinvestor.com/Ai Reach out to our Investment Counselors 1-800- HARTMAN Ext. 2 PropertyTracker.com https://cjpatrick.com _______________________________________________________________ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://empoweredinvestor.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://empoweredinvestor.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://empoweredinvestor.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

472: The Job Market and a Housing Shortage of 4 Million | NAR Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun

Jason Hartman discusses the enduring stability of income property as a premier asset class. He highlights updates to his Property Tracker software, which now integrates real-time inflation data and calculates suggested cash reserves to help investors manage risk. He critiques the reliability of official CPI figures, arguing that higher actual inflation creates significant wealth through inflation-induced debt destruction. Jason also shares a personal anecdote about shutting down his Bitcoin miners due to unprofitability, using the story to warn against over-diversification in unproven assets. He then welcomes Lawrence Yun, the Chief Economist for the National Association of Realtors, as he provides a comprehensive update on the current state of the U.S. housing market. Yun highlights a significant "slump" in home sales volume over the last four years, even as property prices remain at record highs due to an estimated shortage of four million homes. The discussion covers how high mortgage rates and tax policies like capital gains are freezing inventory by discouraging homeowners from moving. Despite these challenges, Yun remains optimistic, citing strong job growth and potential interest rate cuts driven by future technological productivity as catalysts for a multi-year market recovery. He concludes th at the market is finally turning a corner, with pent-up demand likely to drive increased activity through 2026.

471: Breaking Ground: Insights From the Housing Development Cycle with Brandon Cobb

Brandon Cobb of HBG Capital explains the intricate process of land entitlement and development in the modern real estate market. He describes how his company identifies unimproved land, secures government approvals, and installs horizontal infrastructure like roads and utilities before selling finished lots to large national homebuilders. This specialized "middleman" role allows developers to mitigate risk by contracting for land only when they are certain of its development potential. The discussion highlights why new housing supply is difficult to create, noting that the process often takes years due to bureaucratic hurdles and environmental regulations. Ultimately, Cobb expresses optimism for 2026, predicting a market turnaround driven by lowering interest rates and a massive demand for entry-level affordable housing. Through this lens, Brandon provides a detailed look at the behind-the-scenes mechanics that sustain the residential real estate economy. _______________________________________________________________ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

469: The 10 Million Home Shortage and Co-Living Opportunities and Client Case Study with Jarrod

Jason explores the widening housing shortage, highlighting a recent White House estimate that the United States is undersupplied by 10 million units. While the federal government suggests deregulation as a solution, Jason argues that local complexities make significant relief unlikely, predicting instead that rents will rise as apartment oversupply clears. Data on building permits is presented to show a sharp decline in new construction across major states like Florida, Texas, and Arizona, which the host interprets as a signal of continued scarcity and high prices. He encourages listeners to act as strategic investors by purchasing new construction now while builder incentives are available, anticipating that future interest rate cuts will spark a market surge. Finally, the segment promotes co-living as a niche solution to affordability and invites audiences to an upcoming real estate conference in California. Start your journey to financial independence.
