<p><br></p><p style="text-align: start">CHANGE OF SCHEDULE DUE TO COVID-19... That's not just the title of this episode, but also an announcement. Because I'd rather not talk about Corona-virus week after week (and some other reasons) - I'm temporarily changing the schedule of the show from a weekly Tuesday release, to be a little more flexible and random. For the next month (or few), I'll still be releasing episodes, but maybe not weekly (at least once per month) - and not always on a Tuesday.</p><p style="text-align: start">So I cover my reasons in the episode (there is some content here, not just the announcement) - and among them is that I'm now my son's school teacher, like all you other parents out there. Well, my days for packed enough to begin with, and I already worked from home. But now my son is here with me each day with schools closed, so much of my attention (and time) goes to him these crazy Covid-18 days. Not getting a lot done as a result.</p><p style="text-align: start">So that, and not wanting to just speak about the Corona-virus elephant in the room on each show - has me seeking to change things up a bit. I also mention during this episode, how content I put out just 5 shows ago, was invalidated a mere week later by Covid-19 - so I want to put out some more timeless content, which will take me a bit more prep time than what the weekly schedule permits while also teaching 8th grade along with all else that I've got going on.</p><p style="text-align: start">So I'm going to take some time to be my son's best day, improve my businesses, get some of my on-going projects done, still put out content for the show (just not weekly for a bit) - and we'll get through this pandemic soon enough. Regardless, the show will go on - and I think it will end up even better as a result.</p>

Podcast Episode 55

<p>Your home is now the center of your universe - and likely (hopefully) some of your favorite people are there with you for these past weeks and those to come. And thankfully with technology being what it is today, you're likely able to connect easily with those loved ones who live outside of your home.<br></p><p style="text-align: start">Also thanks to technology (depending on your specific job) - your also likely to be rather productive and continue working from home. But have you equipped and stocked your home with all your comfort items? Do you need your daily cup of coffee, and so your venturing out to get your daily Star Bucks fix? Or can you make it right there in your home with your Keurig or other deluxe home brewer? I've certainly got mine.</p><p style="text-align: start">And we've all got the large flat screen TV's with Netflix, Prime, Hulu and all the myriad of other streaming services. Or even if you've got regular cable or satellite - you know that you're sharing someone's streaming login - right? Be honest! However you handle it, your entertainment needs are set.</p><p style="text-align: start">And you've also stocked up on not just a ton of toilet paper, but you've got weeks worth of your favorite foods and drinks. I heard that alcohol sales went up by over 60%. So we're sipping on a little something while at home.</p><p style="text-align: start">And so in this episode of the... and Landlord Rental Real Estate Investing Podcast - I talk about the home, and how it has become the center of our universe. And then what that may mean for the future. What does it mean to be a Landlord in a time when it seems the government has positioned itself to start covering the expenses (including RENT) for those who now cannot work due to no fault of their own.</p><p style="text-align: start">And what will this mean for the future once this concept takes hold? Well, that's a bit political - and so I explore why I am willing to move forward with purchasing properties, even now amid all this economic uncertainty. I'm buying now (while I can), but with lending terms changing daily, that ability is quickly coming to an end. So I'll be working to get set for buying even more properties, once things start to open up again. Because I want to own as many properties as possible once the government starts paying everyone's rent - or whatever becomes the system to make sure that we're not in this same virus inflicted financial crisis all over again.</p>

Podcast Episode 54

<p><br></p><p style="text-align: start">Today is March 31st... One day from now is April 1st, when RENT IS DUE in the USA. But on this Aprils Fools Day - will Tenants even be able to pay their rent? People have largely been unable to work for the last two weeks. And more people than you may be aware are working from paycheck to paycheck. And those government relief checks have yet to arrive. So what's it going to be between April 1st to the 5th?</p><p style="text-align: start">On BiggerPockets.com is a video and guide to Landlords at:<a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/tenants-unable-pay-rent-landlord-advice">https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/tenants-unable-pay-rent-landlord-advice</a>- as to how Brandon plans to handle the likely inability of some Tenants to pay rent next month, and his suggestions for doing the same.</p><p style="text-align: start">Brandon also put out another video at:<a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/coronavirus-letter-to-tenants-from-landlord?utm_source=newsletter">https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/coronavirus-letter-to-tenants-from-landlord?utm_source=newsletter</a>- containing the letter that he has sent to his Tenants in advance. Now for me, I have a similar version of this letter ready to go out, but I'll not be sending anything in advance. Because like I mention in this episode of the... and Landlord Podcast - to send something in advance about NON-payment of rent, suggests that it is OK to NOT pay rent.... So "No Thanks" from me on that one.</p><p style="text-align: start">Now as I mentioned in last week's episode, I'm very glad that about 1/2 of my units are Section 8 - so I know that I'll at least be getting that money this week. But I also suspect that multiple Tenants may be unable to pay in full (or at all) - which may even include the Tenant's portion from some of my Section 8 Tenants.</p><p style="text-align: start">Starting tomorrow (if not already), Tenants may suddenly find themselves with substantially more in expenses and bills, than they can cover with what may be significantly reduced (or NO) income. When you have to choose between food, medicine, utilities and rent - rent rightfully is not first in that list of priories. So, will Tenants be able to pay their rent for April?</p><p style="text-align: start">This is all uncharted territory - so we'll each have to take it one step at a time. So checkout this 53rd episode of the Podcast to get my take on how this matter can be addressed - of when your Tenant's can't pay their rent (arguably through no fault of their own). Just remember - "People Before Profit"; but also, be no one's April Fool.</p>

Podcast Episode 53

<p><br></p><p style="text-align: start">April Fools Day is a little more than a week from now. But what that day means to me, is the same as any 1st of the month... It's the day RENT is due. But on this April 1st - the joke may truly be on me (and all Landlords)... Because there may be no rent coming in due to COVID-19.</p><p style="text-align: start">But this episode of the... and Landlord Rental Real Estate Investing Podcast is about how half of my rental units are occupied by Tenants who have Section 8 Vouchers. Thus, a portion of my monthly rents come directly from the Government. This means the joke won't be completely on me. At least I'll have some amount of guaranteed rental income. But for my non-Section 8 Tenants...</p><p style="text-align: start">The World has essentially shut-down. Most businesses are closed (or greatly reduced), so those workers aren't getting their normal paychecks. Some businesses are running reduced hours and altered workloads, but even those must often layoff workers in a situation like this. You can't keep all those employees on payroll when there are no customers. And if those now unemployed (X-employee's) are your Tenant's - how are they going to pay rent to you?</p><p style="text-align: start">And then compare this to those who are invested in short-term rentals (AirBnB). No one is travelling - so they have basically lost 100% of their rental income. Yet mortgages and leases remain due for payment. Maybe payments will be waived or some sort of forbearance will be granted. But in this episode of the Landlord Podcast, I contrast my situation with Section 8 Rentals, to those who have Short-Term (AirBnB) Rentals.</p><p style="text-align: start">Just saying... Right now, I'm happy to know that I'll have some rental income in April. And I think I'd be freaking out right now if I was singularly and all-in on AirBnB.</p>

Podcast Episode 52 

<p><br></p><p style="text-align: start">When the Coronavirus hit, as with most things, I had jokes... I posted on FB the question of if this might be the Zombie Apocalypse virus or maybe the Planet of the Apes virus - and what should be my primary weapon of choice in either case. For instance, should I go with a crossbow or the shotgun to take out the resulting Zombies or talking Apes.</p><p style="text-align: start">Jokes aside, while this is not that level of crisis, it is a challenging time none the less - and we could be on the verge of an economic recession of epic proportions. And while I certainly do not intent to make lite of being prepared with food and other items for the household - it occurs to me that while some people are rushing to the stores to buy toilet paper (among other things), others are buying the discounted assets (or preparing to do so) - that result from apparent crisis situations like this.</p><p style="text-align: start">So hence the title and topic of this 51st episode of the... and Landlord Podcast - "The Rich Buy Assets, While the Poor Buy Toilet Paper". Fortunes are often made when there's fear, panic or even blood in the streets. And there is a quote that says "Observe the masses, and do the opposite." - well the masses appear to be focused on buying things like toilet paper. When they should be looking to buy the discounted assets that are certain to result from an economic downturn or recession.</p><p style="text-align: start">The Stock Market is down big-time - but another way of looking at it, is that the Stock Market is having a sale. Real Estate is also likely to be on sale soon, as all-time low interest rates will increase purchasing power. We may also enter another round of short-sales and foreclosures as another economic downturn (or full on recession) causes financial stress for millions.</p><p style="text-align: start">So I recorded this episode just to get you thinking - that while you certainly need toilet paper and other household items to get through the sort of thing we're experiencing now with this virus - you also need to be thinking about how you're going to come out the other side better off. Because the rich are buying assets while the poor (and middle class) are buying toilet paper.</p>

Podcast Episode 51

Podcast Episode 50

<p><br></p><p style="text-align: start">Let's Talk... Business, Finances &amp; Wealth. But not just in this 49th Episode of the... and Landlord Podcast. I'm now ready (and now have the location) for an in-person local meet-up. So here I announce that starting on April 6th (and the 1st Monday of each month thereafter) - we'll have a monthly meet-up to talk about (among other things)... Business, Finances, Wealth Creation, Mindset - and so much more about MONEY.</p><p style="text-align: start">The location? It will be at Rivals Barbershop in Downtown Durham, North Carolina (727 N. Mangum Street - Suite 100). And Rivals Barbershop is my latest business endeavor... A partnership with Professional Barber (Khedron Mims) in a Sports Themed Barbershop.</p><p style="text-align: start">NO - I'll not be cutting anyone's hair! But in line with the purpose of this monthly meet-up - I partnered with Khedron in Rivals Barbershop because its another business that will create additional passive income for me. It also gives me the chance to lend my business knowledge and expertise to aid Khedron in creating passive income for himself.</p><p style="text-align: start">So what better place to come together on a monthly basis to discuss helping others to do the same. If you've ever desired to start a Business; have a Business that you seek to grow; want to get into Real Estate (Flipping, Wholesaling, Rentals); or you just want to make more Money; improve your Finances and grow your Financial IQ - this is the place you need to be each 1st Monday of the month at 6:30PM.</p><p style="text-align: start">So I use this 49th Episode of the... and Landlord Podcast - to announce both my involvement with Rivals Barbershop; and also that it will be the location of my monthly meetup. Speakers will include myself, Khedron Mims, and Garrett White (from Episode #17). And as we go forward, we will include other speakers where the value for your time will be rewarded by a factor of 10.</p><p style="text-align: start">But it won't be the sort of thing where you can come to a meeting and then have nothing to do for a month until the next meeting. No... You'll have actions to complete, books to read, changes to make in your habits, etc... So don't come if you're not willing to take actions and make changes in your life.</p>

Podcast Episode 49

<p><br></p><p style="text-align: start">Owner's Property Insurance is not the only type of Insurance that you need to consider... Another is Renter's Insurance. And do you / should you require your Tenants to obtain Renter's Insurance? That's the question being asked and answered (from my point of view) in this episode of the... and Landlord! Rental Real Estate Investing Podcast.</p><p style="text-align: start">Here I go into details as to some of the ways you're protected by having Tenant's obtain their own coverage in the form of Renter's Insurance. Not least of these protections is that the mere fact that you've impose this requirement will result in certain prospective Tenants (who might have been problematic) - self-eliminating from consideration of occupying your property in the first place. Putting reasonable (and LEGAL) barriers to Tenancy in place will help to get you the best Tenants - and a Renter's Insurance requirement can be just one means of doing so.</p><p style="text-align: start">Much of what we discuss on this Podcast is about how to be the best Landlord you can be - with the fewest headaches. Well, having a Renter's Insurance requirement for Tenants can be one of many means to that end. Renter's Insurance is a protection not just for your Tenant, but for your property, for YOU and your LLC - paid for by your Tenant. What's better than a benefit for you that is paid and provided by someone else - and for which they benefit as well?</p>

Podcast Episode 48

<p><br></p><p style="text-align: start">I LOVE owning Rental Real Estate and being a Landlord - however, maybe it's not for you... But that doesn't mean you cannot be a Real Estate Investor - as there are ways of doing so without having to buy Real Estate and becoming a Landlord. One such means is Real Estate Note Investing. And so who better to have on the show than Scott "The Note Guy" Carson - to cover the basics of Investing in Real Estate by obtaining the Note.</p><p style="text-align: start">Scott Carson joins us for an episode of the... and Landlord Rental Real Estate Investing Podcast - to discuss both Performing and non-Performing Note Investing. So what is Note Investing? What is a "Performing" versus "non-Performing" Note? Well listen to Scott answer these questions - and many more about Real Estate Note Investing in this 47th episode of the... and Landlord Podcast.
