12. The Fed Stopped Interest Rate Hikes. Here's what that means
On Wednesday, 9/20/23, the Federal Reserve decided to hold rates steady while indicating expectations of one more hike before the end of the year. Although we are seeing a steadying of inflation, it still continues to grow.
I invited my friend, J Scott, who is a fellow podcaster, author, and real estate investor, to join us and explain what this means for the future of real estate, investing, and our economy as a whole.
We will discuss how this affects individuals across the entire spectrum of the economy and delve into past trends, examining how individuals and business owners have been historically affected.

11. How I use failure & risk to grow my business
Risk is one of the fundamental factors in creating a successful business. I change a lot and I'm willing to lose money to move my industry forward.
What happens if you create something that is not accepted by the market? When investing, I look for proven and measurable assets, not risking for the sake of change.
What are some of the unique factors here in the US that help/harm entrepreneurs? Is all change GOOD change? Or do you have to limit your exposure to constant change and risk to grow? Let's talk in this episode.

10. The importance of keeping the money you make w/ NFL's Devon Kennard
Devon Kennard's successful NFL career have him an unique perspective about money: he was now the stereotypical athlete that made a lot of money and had the ability to spend it in an instant. But he refused to take part in this stereotype.
He was determined to invest his money, and then use the passive income on the things he wanted.
He wanted to KEEP the money he made.
"Be careful trying to label what 'wealthy' looks like. We all value things differently." - snapshot from Devon"s twitter: DK (@DevonKennard) / X (twitter.com)

9. How higher interest rates affect fast-growing markets w/ Craig Curelop
Starting out in real estate can be daunting. One of the first steps is to choose a market you want to invest in. There are many Midwestern, midsized markets that are being affected by higher interest rates. How will it react?
Date the rate, marry the house - this is Craig Curelop's strategy, which he has used to acquire over 100 deals in his first year, now at approximately $100M+ in deals per year. He is the host of the Invest2Fi podcast, and the founder of The FI Team

8. Investing Internationally: What You Need to Know (w/ Alfonso Cuadra)
Investing opportunities are everywhere in the US. There is so much access to monetary and other support systems - and the opportunity might not be here for long.
Today we're talking with Alfonso Cuadra, who is an immigrant, international investor and asset owner. We're outlining some of the different challenges and differences between North American countries and others abroad.
The sacrifice his family had to make to come to North America was tremendous, but is the new opportunity enough to pay that off? I saw this in Brazil, he's seen it in El Salvador. Poverty is real.
So why does the average Joe in America has more opportunity than a vast majority of the world's population?

7. Are Entrepreneurs the answer to the world's problems? w/ Evan Carmichael
Entrepreneurs made the world what it is today, will they take us to the next stage?
Just one generation ago, being an entrepreneur was laughable. You had to buy a brick and mortar building, buy inventory, and spend hours in a library researching.
Now, all of that has changed. You can start a website, sell online services, and find answers in a matter of seconds using Google and AI.
What’s the IMPACT of your life? Of your work? That’s what differentiates a corporate 9 to 5 job and a successful entrepreneur’s business. As you grow and scale, you can leave your own mark on the world, help people, and solve problems. And you can SEE the change yourself. Your contributions are not so far detached from your own personal goals.

6. Capitalism "Waves" & How to Leverage the Economic System
The market will either make you or break you. We can't predict when it will or what it'll do, but we can look at the patterns and be prepared.
In this episode, I dive into my investing thesis - what do I look for in an industry that spurs me to invest? What are the indicators that tell me, is this a good investment or not?
Also, we discuss protectionism.
Protectionism is the practice of a government supporting an industry when it fails. When the market decides a company needs to die out, it will naturally take place. When the government intervenes, it results in a protected field where failure is impossible.

5. How to Network with High Value People | Steve Sims
If you met Elton John or Elon Musk, what would you ask them?
No seriously, would you ask them about the weather? What their "number 1" tip for success is? What book they would recommend?
Or would it be better to find out who they are as a person, their philosophies, or how they create and manage relationships?
That's exactly what Steve Sims did. He set out to learn why you can work JUST as hard as the "successful" people, but their RESULTS were so much better. He's asking the important questions in the rooms with important people.
And he's here to share with you what he's learned.

4. Is the Recession OVER? What's next for the US (ft. Ryan Pineda)
The White House announced that Inflation is down to 3% on a month-to-month basis. Real estate prices are coming down, but not at the rate that was expected.
Large hedge funds are STILL pouring millions into the housing market. That goes to say, their strategy has not changed despite the lay offs, interest rates, and high prices.
In this episode, Ryan Pineda and I discuss this topic in detail. What's going on with this crazy economy?

3. The Rich vs the Middle Class - America’s Wealth Gap Problem w/ Bethany LaFlam
You might've heard that the top 1% is crushing the other 99% of people. Are the ultra wealthy taking over?
Social mobility is a measure of movement of people within a country’s socio-economic status. It’s an expression of how easy or difficult it is for one to move up (or down) a social class.
That’s why there are sayings like “go to college, get a ‘real’ job,” and “you should be a doctor or lawyer.”
When we look at the laws and regulations built in the US, there is an obvious predisposition against those who do not have money. The law assumes that if you have money, you must be smart. And if you don’t have money, you must be stupid - this is not always the case. But this is what’s inherently taught.
This might be risky, but I’m bringing Bethany LaFlam, my attorney, on this episode to shed some light into the rules and regulations placed on financial freedom.

2. From Pro Skater to Entrepreneur | Mikey Taylor
How do you break into the world of investing and entrepreneurship? Very few people "make it" by having "rich parents" or being "Harvard geniuses." But they make money somehow. How do they do it?
In this episode of Saving Capitalism, we bring together two successful entrepreneurs, Mikey Taylor and AJ Osborne, to discuss their journeys in business, the world of entrepreneurship, and the invaluable role of mentors.
With Mikey's background being a Professional Skateboarder, he was as far removed from entrepreneurship as possible. The learning curve pivoting from your career into investing and generating cashflow is astounding. It takes YEARS of learning and failing and finally figuring it out.
Don't miss this episode! Mikey and AJ share their experiences, the lessons they've learned, and the importance of having mentors who can simplify complex concepts for aspiring entrepreneurs. This is how you can avoid making their mistakes.

1. The Death of Capitalism
Capitalism in America is VASTLY misunderstood. It’s often is treated as a political system - a matter of the left vs the right. News flash, it’s not.

222. Is being Competitive KILLING your business? The Pillars of Team Building
The world is more divided than ever: we, as humans, are no longer working together. We're so passionate about being right or being the best that we lose track of our mission. What you want to achieve as a person, family, business, or even country.
So, can dialing back our own innate competitiveness help instead of harm? How does this apply to leadership and team building?

221. Investing in the Modern Economy - The Problem with Groupthink
Investing requires a well-rounded understanding of today's modern economy. Not only understanding the state of the world at hand, but also learning how we react to the overwhelming negativity spread on a daily basis.
As our quality of life increases, so do the negative, risky things. It's smart to consider the risks and what might impact you. But the drama that the news talks about or trends on Twitter is not necessarily always sized to scale.
In this episode, let's take into perspective the actual changes in our modern world and how it applies to the economy. What exaggerations do you believe? How does that affect your investments?

220. Achieving Success in EVERY Way | The Problem with Individualism
Success can be found in all sorts of different ways, and its meaning is different for everyone. What does "being successful" TRULY mean?
To truly succeed in your life - whether personal or financial - requires you to take a hard look at yourself.
1. Family
2. Other people
3. Economic
Out of these three things, only #3 can topple the others. You can have great success in your career and your investments, but if your family other people suffer because of it, does it really mean success? What drives people to achieve success?
At what point do people feel self-righteous or superior to others?

219. The Fed Wants More Unemployment - What this Means for You
The Federal Reserve is continuing to raise interest rates, and in a recent hearing on Capitol Hill, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell discussed one of the desired effects of these rate hikes: unemployment.
In an effort to reduce inflation, the Fed needs to slow down the rapid growth of the economy, and unemployment is one of the key indicators of an economy's overall health. If they can increase unemployment - meaning put people out of work - the economy should show signs of slowing down.
But will this actually help Americans, or just cause more pain and anguish? What does this mean for you?

218. Biggest Crash since 2008 - Sillicon Valley Bank's Sudden Collapse
Last weekend, the Silicon Valley Bank based out of Santa Monica, CA, collapsed, leaving billions of dollars worth of assets and customers in limbo.
SVB is a bank mainly funding tech-related ventures and startups, with many of its clients having accounts over the $250,000 FDIC insurance cap. When they couldn't resolve their accounts with about $2 billion in money they couldn't raise from their investments. As a result, this caused its customers to pull about $42 billion out of their accounts, causing a run on the bank.
So why did this happen? and do you need to be worried?

215. 3 Methods to FORCE Success into your Life
Motivation for me really doesn't work. I don't think it was a realistic way for me to produce an outcome. The "this is all up to you no matter what" mindset was a hard pill to swallow. I had to disassociate the fact that outcomes come from your ACTIONS not your BEING a certain way - especially if it's not in your natural inclinations.
So I had to FORCE myself to be successful. As much as I'd like to think I'd never be lazy and never take a day off - that's not true! And it's really difficult when your outcomes are not associated with you like that naturally.
How do employers do it then? How do they get a bunch of tired, disgruntled people to come into work at all? And more importantly, how do you do that for your own business the right way?

Wealth and income are two separate things: wealth is what you own that provides you income. Income is just the money on your paycheck or in your bank account.
The key: CASHFLOW.
In this episode, we are returning to this podcast’s roots (when it was still called Cashflow2Freedom). What are some ways you can use a set amount of cash, say $100,000, and turn it into a recurring 6-Figure income? Can you take your existing cash sitting in savings and repurpose it to generate returns that will outpace far beyond your original cash amount?

209. Creating Opportunities & Extracting Value: What makes an investment GOOD?
Finding opportunities in life and business is easier said than done. When I buy an asset, I don't hope and pray that the market will lift it up and maybe I'll come out on top. Absolutely not. Luck is great, but it's not reliable.
Focus on the strategy and the value behind your opportunities. Businesses need systems to produce a desirable outcome. I believe this applies to any part of life, and especially investments and money. But how do you build a system that absorbs risk and extracts opportunity? And how do you know an opportunity is good or not?
Opportunity is not an award, it's CREATED.

207. Lessons in Money | The Games of the Rich
A common misconception of the “Rich” is that they are all CEOs of huge companies that seem to have an infinite supply of money. But that’s not necessarily true - the “Rich” aren’t always who you think. What about the doctor or the lawyer making six figures a year? What do they do with their money?
There are lessons very few people talk about. Lessons in taxes, business, and investments that rival that of entrepreneurs.
When I started investing, I felt like I could never get ahead. I was stuck in my job, I was on that grueling treadmill despite making well over six figures. Which begged the question, why am I stuck? Why are my “investments” not paying off? Why, despite my high income, could I still not free up my time or do more with my life?
Let’s break it down.

We have a special guest returning to the podcast today (who is our OG co-host), Roc Pilon, the entrepreneurial spirit behind Gym Reapers. He leveraged his curiosity about systems and process to build an explosive level of growth in his business. He taught himself how to work with manufacturers, design products, and sell online and took a shot in the dark with his first product - and never looked back.

The disconnect between real estate investors can sometimes be frustrating. Often, to learn more about a specific niche market or a specific deal, you have to seek out someone who is a pillar in that industry - a mentor or teacher - in that space.
This is the problem Paul tackled when he started his business. There needed to be a way that real estate investors can talk to *each other* about properties and deals. And that's why he founded TwnSqr, or "Townsquare," a marketplace platform specifically for real estate investors.

Are those the RIGHT questions to achieve your goals?

200. Should You Still Be Investing in a Declining Economy?
The markets are exploding. Stocks, real estate, crypto - it's all crashing. It's a very scary and confusing time, and risk is piling up.
We're addressing that today. It's important to be thinking about these things all the time and keeping an eye on the potential impact to you. Asset valuation is more complicated than ever, and the future we expected 6 months ago is not what it is now.
Should you be investing during a time where people are defaulting, rates are going up, and returns are shrinking?
This is our 200th episode. Thanks so much to all of you guys for tuning in and supporting what we do!
Be sure to share this episode with someone who's also concerned (or should be concerned) about the economy - let's get the word out! Leave us a review on Apple podcasts, it really helps us now. Thanks everybody!

196. Inflation vs the Economy - will another rate hike really help?
The Fed is raising interest rates again! It's becoming harder and more expensive to use debt. This means higher mortgage rates, car payments, increased credit card debt - will this stop inflation or will it crash the economy first?
After all, raising rates doesn't help other aspects of high prices. What about supply chain? What about consumer demand?

Event-based investing is not only scary, but dangerous. Is your investment - like a stock or a property - contingent on the SALE of that asset? If so, how do you know what your returns will ACTUALLY be and where they ACTUALLY come from?
Nobody has a crystal ball into the future. There are common metrics like expense ratios and ROIs that help us gauge how much an investment is worth. But are you filling in your equation with facts, or speculation?

194. 3 Reasons Why the Rich Get Richer
Why do the rich keep getting richer? There are so many "theories" and hypotheticals when it comes to this topic. Most of it is steeped in resentment, hatred, and ignorance. Very few millionaires inherited the wealth they have, and the ones that do usually end up wasting it. So what's with the hatred?
In this episode, we're discussing three reasons why the rich are actually keeping their money and getting wealthier by the second.

192. The 2008 Housing Crash - Will it Happen Again Today?
The collapse of the housing market in 2008 left a bad taste in many people's mouths when it comes to recessions and the real estate market. It's now 2022, and the housing market is back up in the air, and there are a lot of "gurus" online saying it will crash again much like 2008.
How will home affordability change in the next few months or the next few years? Are the federal reserve's higher mortgage interest rates going to cause the "bubble" to pop? Additionally, will the changes in the economy really cause another recession?
In this episode, we discuss some of the data I recently posted over on Instagram. There were a lot of people in the comments having an emotional reaction to what I was saying despite all the data I presented. So let's talk about it!

A Storm is Coming - Building a Business to Last & Investing for the Long Term
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!
We’re living in some pretty interesting times - inflation, rising interest rates, social and political friction, volatile markets here in the US and globally, all coming off the back end of a long economic cycle of nothing but massive prosperity.
What does this mean for our businesses and our investments? What should we be doing to help adjust for these rapidly changing times? What does the future look like? These are all great questions and one’s you should be asking.
Truth is, there will always be a storm. Today, tomorrow, you never know exactly when or how the storm will hit or how long it will last. Yes there are some indicators and things we can look out for, but all said and done, these macro level economic drivers are things we have absolutely no control over. Unfortunately so many investors and business owners have banked on these uncontrollable factors playing out. They banked on the market to make them…

Building & Achieving Success with Tarek El Moussa
Welcome back everyone to the AJ Osborne Podcast!
Honestly, my guest today needs little introduction if you’ve been in and around the real estate industry, or if you’ve watched real estate reality TV show Flip or Flop. My guest today is Tarek El Moussa.
As with most of us who are drawn to real estate investing - Tarek was frustrated with his career, was tired of making little to no money, having little to no control over his life, and decided that real estate was the path to achieve the life he’d always wanted. But, as we so often find, his success didn’t happen overnight.
We dive into Tarek’s story, how he found real estate, how to deal with defeat, and his bumpy path to success.
There are a number of key fundamentals to achieving success - Tarek touches on many of them and shares some incredible insight into how to truly become successful.

The Economy Today - What You Need to Know & Planning for the Uncertain Future
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast, this is your host of course, AJ Osborne!
Well if you’ve been paying attention to the economy at all… things look a bit… questionable let’s say. Inflation just keeps going up and up. Government spending keeps going up and up. Interest rates are going up and up in an ever weakening economy. Despite higher interest rates, housing prices have stayed higher than ever due to demand.
All said and done, and as you might imagine, this isn’t a great recipe. Even still, this should honestly be expected.
One of the huge problems we see over and over again in our economy is individuals, investors, firms, and so forth expecting only good times. This is especially the case for those who didn’t go through the Great Recession of 2008.
It can’t be stressed enough - we should ALWAYS be planning for the downturns, the dips, the recessions. None of us have a crystal ball, therefore, we should err on the side of caut…

From 6 Months to Live to Real Estate Empire with Rich Fettke
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! Thanks so much for tuning in and for all your amazing support.
Today we have an amazing guest on the show that I wish I could give you an epic description of, but its virtually guaranteed that whatever cool words I used, it wouldn’t do any justice. My guest today is Rich Fettke.
It’s wild because Rich and I share very similar paths as to WHY behind not only real estate investing, but our values and foundations we’ve built our lives and investment strategies around.
As a young adult Rich was diagnosed with terminal melanoma and given just 6 months to live. Having a wife and kids, this immediately kickstarted the very real need to ensure their families future without Rich - as tough as that idea was.
So what did they do? Through a series of events, they turned to real estate to secure that future.
Thankfully Rich had actually been misdiagnosed and 20+ years later, him and his wife Kathy have built a re…

Opportunities come and go, industries come and go, markets come and go. But what causes entire markets to thrive and what causes them to die? Not only that, how can we better understand these cycles to better take advantage of opportunity? The last thing any of us wants to do is to invest in a dying market. This means we have to be able to look at and effectively analyze relevant metrics within those businesses and markets. This means understanding risk and planning for it. It also means understanding both the micro and the macroeconomics of an industry and business. What can you control and what do you have zero control over in these arenas? How does policy and regulation affect and potentially affect that market? This is just the surface of what we’re going to cover in today’s episode. Th…

How to Move Forward in the Unknown
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! It’s me your host, AJ Osborne! No matter what endeavor we set out on, no matter what direction we want to go in life, no matter what we do there will always be unknowns. Sometimes we like to fool ourselves into thinking that we have something 100% figured out, that our path forward is totally linear. This is almost never the case. Life has a great way of reminding us every now and then about how much control we don’t have. Shoot, take me for example! I was doing great in the insurance world, bought a brokerage because I was going to crush it, and that totally fell apart. I recovered from that, began pouring capital into self storage, was totally crushing it, and then WHAM… I win the lottery and end up with GBS, on life support, and have to learn how to eat, and walk all over again. Bottom line? We never truly know what’s waiting for us around the bend. This can sound kind of blue and pretty hopeless right? Well, there’s a few…

Becoming Paralyzed | The Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me
Welcome back everyone to the AJ Osborne Podcast! You guessed it… this is your host AJ Osborne! Yes, you read the title here correctly. For those of you who haven’t heard my story - several years ago I went from totally healthy and normal, to in just a matter of hours, becoming completely and totally paralyzed because of a rare autoimmune disorder called Guillain-Barré syndrome. In a single immediate moment my life and my family’s lives were turned upside down. At first no one even knew what I had. The doctors couldn’t figure it out and even sent me home.

The Truth About RISK | The Keys to Risk Management
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne! Today we’re talking about RISK. I’ve found that the various types of real and perceived risks are vastly unknown, and vastly misunderstood. Obviously this can be a huge problem for us whether we’re entrepreneurs, employees, investors… no matter what we are. The fact is - risk cannot ever be totally eliminated. We can only control so much. So then, how do we effectively manage risk? These are great questions and ideas, and this is exactly what we’re diving into on today’s podcast. I break risk down into three pillars and we expand from there. The keys here - we should understand risk and know not only how to face it, but how to deal with and manage risk productively. We’ll never get away from risk completely and have to learn how to thrive in the uncertainty. Thanks for listening everybody!

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne!
I’ve got an amazing guest lined up for you guys today who is going to help shed some light of TRUTH on the financial and investing world. I’m excited to introduce Chris Miles.
Chris started his career in financial advising from day one, but quickly realized that there were some major issues in the world of financial advising. Even going so far as to call the financial advising industry “broken”. Something he said during this podcast really sends this whole issue home. In relation to financial advisors in general - he says, “...are they making good money because they make good investments, or are they making money because they’re good salesmen?”.
Recognizing these issues, he chose to become the ANTI - financial advisor. A term he’s coined to help bring reality into financial advising.

The Truth About Debt - How Debt Can Make or Break You
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host AJ Osborne!
Debt - there are very few subjects that have gotten as bad a wrap as debt has. Don’t get me wrong, debt when you don’t understand it… can be downright deadly. But debt used as a rocket fuel for generating wealth and income… that’s when debt becomes a massive force of leverage.
But how? How can taking on debt ever be a good thing? Isn’t buying all cash a better way to go? Isn’t paying off a loan as quickly as possible the best course of action? Yes and no, just like the above gives hint to - it depends on what kind of debt we’re talking about.
Let’s clear this up once and for all - not all debt is BAD and not all debt is created equal. We have two kinds of debt - consumer debt (which is generally bad and that you should try to avoid). And then we have revenue producing debt (which is the sweet nectar of the gods for investors).

As she says here in this podcast, the power of the pen is mighty, but the power of capital is mighty-er.

From the North Side of Chicago to Owning 1,000 Doors with Van Sturgeon
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast, I’m your host, AJ Osborne!
It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Van Sturgeon. Van was born and raised in the Northside of Chicago helping his parents own and operate an apartment building. The economy was bad, vacancies were high, and the family had to perform all the repairs and maintenance on their own to limit cost and to make ends meet. This built the foundation for what was to come.
Van later built a company renovating real estate. This gave Van an inside look and connection to real estate investors who were buying and flipping homes while using his company as their go-to renovator. It didn’t take long for Van to recognize and realize the potential there was in real estate investing, whether that be buying, renovating and holding, or buying and flipping. He’s built an impressive portfolio and now has over 1k doors across the U.S. and Canada.

The Truth Behind Skyrocketing Lumber Prices with Brian Mullally
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host, AJ Osborne!
So… if you’ve been online or to your local hardware or lumber store, you might have noticed something - the price of lumber (and materials in general) has skyrocketed. Honestly, saying the cost of lumber has “skyrocketed” even seems like an understatement.
This is why I’m having my great friend and our head of acquisitions here at Cedar Creek Wealth, Brain Mullally on the podcast today to talk everything lumber.
You see, before Brian joined my team, he wandered the mountainside in a flannel shirt, carrying a large ax, looking to strike it big in the lumber industry. Well… that might be a stretch lol. Brian worked in the lumber industry for years and continues to keep up the relationships he built over the years in the lumber industry. That said, he not only knows a thing or two about lumber and what’s currently going on, but he’s also got a backstage pass to the mills, the suppliers, and e…

One of the biggest stresses that most of us feel consistently throughout our lives is MONEY. Money problems can crush dreams, marriages, physical and mental health, and our lives as we know them. Money is a big deal to a lot of us, but how do we get to that place where money isn’t a problem, but more so an asset, a lever, and a tool for us to achieve everything we’ve dreamed of?

Jim had originally been working in sales… he couldn’t stand it, didn’t think he was good at it, and ultimately decided he had to move on.

There’s never been a time in history that we threw capitalism to the side and solely relied on the government to support everything. We’re living this right now. What happens when the stimulus stops?

This is a huge cornerstone of my conversation with Jonathan today.

Tom wasn’t always in the financial industry. He actually worked an exciting job in the music industry for 29 incredible years as a producer and mix engineer. Due to partial hearing loss, Tom unfortunately had to exit the music industry. But he didn’t stop there.
Tom had always been passionate and interested in the wealth building process and finance.

Passive Real Estate Cashflow Using Multifamily Syndication with Lane Kawaoka
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast! I’m your host, AJ Osborne.
I have another amazing guest lined up for you all today - the man himself Lane Kawaoka.
Lane began like most of us do - he had a secure job working as a railroad engineer, he had a house, he was building his life. Being gone so much for work though, Lane decided to start renting out his house. One thing after another happened and before he knew it, he had 11 single family doors across the country. The thing was, once Lane realized the power that real estate had and the future that it could offer him, he decided investing in real estate was going to provide a much more rewarding and enjoyable future.
After dabbling in single family for a while, Lane realized how management intensive single family was, and how much more difficult it would be if he were to scale simply in the single family home asset class. This was even the case if he continued buying turn key investments (more on this in the episode).

The Official Launch of the New AJ Osborne Podcast
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast, this is your host AJ Osborne!
That’s right, Cashflow 2 Freedom is no more! But don’t worry, this podcast isn’t going anywhere.
As you might know, we’ve been re-branding the Cashflow 2 Freedom podcast into this new AJ Osborne Podcast. I’ve talked about it a couple times to give you a heads up, but as of an episode or so ago, it’s official. The podcast, my website, everything, has been transitioned to this new AJ Osborne brand.
Today, I wanted to share with you why I went in this direction and wanted to do this re-brand. I also share why I started Cashflow 2 Freedom initially and how the idea came to mind when I was in the hospital on Christmas morning paralyzed. Speaking of which, I give you all some back story as to who I am, where I’ve come from, what I’m doing and so on. I know a lot of you know my story well, but we do have a ton of new listeners every week so I want to be sure everyone is caught up.

Multi-Family Real Estate Investing | An Insider’s Look with Ashley Wilson aka BadAshInvestor
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne podcast!
I have an incredible guest lined up for you all today that I know you’re going to enjoy and take a lot away from. Our guest today is the one and only Bad Ash Investor herself Ashley Wilson.
As you know, I’m quite the fan of real estate and the amazing advantages it provides for offsetting taxes, cashflow, diversifying income, and much more. Ashley also loves real estate and shares with us today how she went from simply house hacking one of her first homes, to now owning and operating 600 multifamily units.
Initially when Ashley began house hacking, she did some short and long term single family rentals. Shortly after though, she partnered with her dad who was a contractor, and began flipping homes. Then like most investing strategies, she decided to take everything to the next level and began investing in multifamily. Fast forward to today and she’s doing multifamily syndication, has 600 units, and is in the planning process of…

Making the Leap from Career to Full Time Investor with Justin Hannah
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne podcast! I’m excited to bring you yet another incredible guest for this episode todaywho shares a wealth of knowledge with us about real estate investing, family, and the process of building the life you’ve always dreamed of. It’s my pleasure to introduce you to full time real estate investor Justin Hannah.
We all dream about our perfect or ideal life - the house we’d like, our family, our income, our freedom. We often get caught up however on the end goal instead of focusing on the process that will get us to that end goal. This makes sense because a lot of what we need to do to reach our end goals makes us uncomfortable. We have to work extra hard, we have to deviate from our normal routines and the normal routines of those around us, we have to leave that job, we have to assume control and responsibility of everything in our working life… the list goes on. These can be huge and daunting, but they’re certainly worth it.

Because let’s be honest here - most of us don’t want to work decades to build the life and opportunities we have, only for our families to lose them after we die.

As you know, I’m a huge fan of real estate investing. We’ve had numerous guests on the podcast that have shared their incredible real estate insights and investing strategies. There’s an investment strategy though that we haven’t talked a whole lot about - stock market investing.

Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne podcast!
Well everybody, it’s been quite the crazy year for a lot of us. In one way or another we’ve all been affected by these global, national, and local events that have had massive impacts. There’s been a lot of uncertainty and discourse as a result of these events. Rightly so, we all have questions and concerns and a lot of us are looking for direction.
What does all this mean for the long term? How about the short term? Where do we invest? How do we invest? Where do we put our money? What will be the effects of the stimulus being injected into the economy?
These are just a few of the questions I’ve seen coming up over the past several weeks and today’s podcast is going to cover each and every one of these topics.
Something we absolutely need to do is take a long look at where we’ve been and get a really good idea of where we’re going. We need to look at the past to gauge and plan for the future. There are some major socia…

Manufactured Home Investing - The In’s and Out’s with Jonathan Tuttle
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!
Today we have another special guest in the house… and not just any house…
Today we’re talking everything manufactured home investing with the one and only Jonathan Tuttle.
We’re going to kick everything off by diving into how Jonathan got started investing in manufactured homes. Just a few spoilers if you didn’t already know - the economics of manufactured home investing are extremely good. The market is still fragmented (even more than the self storage market). They are not capital intensive like some asset classes. The demand for affordable housing only continues to skyrocket, all the while, supply is shrinking.
We go more in depth on these great economic drivers of manufactured home investing and how you can leverage these aspects to yield great returns.
This may not even be an asset class you’ve considered investing in, but there’s no two ways about it, the real estate trends and investment opportunities are chang…

How Not to Fail - What You Need to do to Build Great Investments
Welcome back everybody to the AJ Osborne Podcast!
That’s right, we’re moving to totally re-brand the Cashflow 2 Freedom podcast to simply be the AJ Osborne podcast. There are a lot of reasons for this re-brand and I actually dive into some of the reasons why in the beginning of today’s podcast.
After we cover that, we’re going to get right to it - we’re going to get into entrepreneurial archetypes, the dangers, and what you need to know as a growing entrepreneur. So much of this has to do with the bigger picture of what it actually means to build a thriving company. It doesn’t have so much to do with what people think and feel.
Here are some of the topics we’re going to get into today that will help you shift your focus from where it is, to where it really matters:
What really makes a business successful? What really makes businesses fail? How do you plan for or limit the risk of failure?

That’s right, you read that title correctly. But wait, how in the world could saving money make you poor? You save money and that means you have more of it right? In a perfect world, that may be true. But here in real life with the economic forces that be, if you’re saving money, you’re losing money.
Unfortunately, most people don’t even know or realize it. What’s even worse is that even more people don’t know that all that money they’re saving in the bank is actually being used against them. How?
You see, you’re either a producer or a consumer and being solely a consumer (and a saver) is a major major pitfall.

However, they don’t know everything and they certainly didn’t know everything starting out. All too often we get caught up with this idea - as we start out, we have a ton of questions. We don’t know how so much of the front end or back end of the business (or both) work and operate. We don’t know how to plan for the future, to market, to develop ideas, to build industry infrastructure, and so on.

Welcome back everybody to the Cashflow 2 Freedom podcast, this is your host AJ Osborne. Today’s episode comes from a question I received at one of my speaking engagements. The question was - “Do you still invest in America?” The root of this question was in other words - do you still invest in the US economy and do you still invest in the US Dollar? There are a multitude of factors affecting economies and values of currency. These effects don’t take place overnight and they often don’t stay for the long term. HIstory has positioned the US Dollar in a very advantageous place - I’m talking about the US Dollar being the reserve currency of a number of countries around the world. The US Dollar has also been used for currency swaps to help countries around the world to stabilize their currencies and economies. These network effects, if you will of the US Dollar, are incredibly important factors to keep in mind when considering the value and stability of the US Dollar over the lo…

There’s so much information out there on whether you should buy or lease a car - the issue is that most of that information is purely based on opinion. All we’re getting into today however are the facts. There are times to buy, times to lease, and you just need to know what to do and when. We’re going to break it down simply and easily to help provide you with those answers. Cars being the second largest expense for a majority of America, this is a topic we wanted to discuss in depth. As you know, everything starts with personal finance. We can’t grow businesses or our futures without being disciplined and effectively managing our own finances. Tune in, take notes, and let us help settle the ‘to buy or lease’ debate for good. Thanks for listening everybody, AJ

I’ve shared my backstory before here on the podcast, but I know we have a lot of new listeners jumping on all the time. If you know anything about me, having financial freedom and these cashflowing assets literally saved my life and my family’s lives. That said, thank you for tuning in and being a part of Cashflow 2 Freedom. It makes me truly proud that you all are on the same path. Now… on to business. In this episode I go over the importance of macroeconomics and the truly massive impact that they can and do have on our economy and everything attached to it. Macroeconomics in short is how the government interacts with and a…

15 Minute Friday: Finding the positive Side of a Downturn | Creating Opportunity
The opportunities that come our way during downturns can be immeasurable. The current downturn we’re experiencing due to the Coronavirus is that time for opportunity.
Opportunity, however, doesn’t always present itself in the ways that we think it would. Being willing to identify these opportunities and also take action towards them can be the deciding factor between triumph and failure.
Be sure to listen in and get ready to hit the reset button. These are great times with great opportunities and we’re looking forward to the future return of our calculated choices of today.
Thanks for listening in everybody! AJ

The Current Downturn | Our Plans for the Future & Turning Chaos into Opportunity
What’s going on everybody!? Welcome back to another episode of Cashflow 2 Freedom. The saga continues with the very real threat we’re facing right now both physically and economically in the U.S. and around the world. Governments are shutting businesses down and it’s obviously having a massive impact on those businesses and the economy. We’re going to cover these issues in this podcast. We’re going to talk about the real risks that we see in our businesses and the economy. We also get into numbers, what we’re currently experiencing in our online businesses and elsewhere. We want to give you everything we have, no sugar coating on anything. We’re going to share what concerns us about this downturn and what the future may look like for all of us. That said though, don’t fall victim to all the doom and gloom. AJ built his current empire from the ashes of the financial crisis of 2008 (and by “ashes”, yes, we mean opportunity).

An Uncertain Market and Where We Go From Here as Business Owners and Investors
As of today the Dow is down over 3,000 points and has become one of the worst drops in market history. The cause? No, not the coronavirus, but the way in which we the people are reacting to it. We need to understand, we alone can make or break a market. The mass hysteria that we’ve seen across the U.S. is having a massive trickle down effect on the state of the market both here in the U.S. and globally. This is the discussion we’re having today on Cashflow 2 Freedom. What are we seeing in the market, what are we paying attention to? But more importantly what are we seeing and doing in our own businesses to not only limit our exposure to this downturn, but what we’re doing to take advantage of situations such as these to keep our businesses moving forward. It’s absolutely critical to keep and maintain a long term view so that you, your investments, and ultimately your future can come out on the other side still breathing, or even thriving.

From Zero to Purchasing a Half Million Dollar Investment Property
Welcome back everybody to another episode of Cashflow 2 Freedom! If you know us or have listened to this podcast for any amount of time at all, you know we love investing in real estate. The returns you can force (and not just hope and pray for), the tax strategies, the processes and systems you can put in place to scale to grow wealth quickly… The list of reasons why we love investing in real estate could go on and on.

I’m really excited to get into today’s topic with you guys and to also have my trusty co-host Roc Pilon back in the house to help me cover this topic. So many of us get into business with the idea that we’re going to start this business, launch this product, and so forth, and grow our company to replace our current income, or to grow it into an empire well beyond our current income. But how do you get from A to Z? And at what point do you formulate a plan to help you scale from $1 million in sales to $100 million? And how do we break through those barriers we reach in our journey to scale? How do you make the leap from $1 million in sales to even $5 million in sales? A lot of us start out with an idea of how we think this whole process will play out, and very few of us get it right the first time. It takes years of learning, usually via the school of hard knocks to final…

Man, where do I even begin… This was such an amazing, value packed episode I don’t even know where to start. First things first though, let me introduce you to Antoine Martel. A 24 year old real estate investor who before graduating high school, decided that real estate was going to be his wealth vehicle. Living in LA however, Antoine soon found out that the LA area for a beginning real estate investor was far too competitive. He spent two years learning in LA and finally made the choice that investing in LA just wasn’t going to work. Which was when he set his eyes on investment opportunities out of state. After speaking with other successful investors and learning about where and how they were investing, Antoine found out that his investment capital could go much further in markets across the country.

The Best Business Strategy | Using Value to See and Create Opportunity
What’s up everybody!? I know it’s been a little bit since my last episode, but please bear with me. I’ve been traveling a lot this past month to speaking engagements and conferences, which is great, but I’m excited to spend some time with you and get another episode out to you all. Today I want to talk about value. Not just the concept of value, but what value is in the marketplace and the economy - not only that, but how you can capitalize on it. Value is constructed from two sides - returns and risk. Applying this concept to business or investing - think of the returns as controllable factors and risk as uncontrollable factors. Controllable factors are things like management, offerings, services, revenue stream diversity, advertising/marketing, branding, and so forth. You can make management more efficient, effective. You can formulate and bring to market new products and services. You can change your advertising or marketing strategy to increase sales or brand awareness. Unc…

How to Set and Achieve Huge Goals
Well everybody, it’s brand new year and a brand-new decade. What does that mean? Pretty much the same thing it means every New Year – people set goals and take up new resolutions. But what’s the biggest issue people have with New Year’s resolutions?
Yep, you got it – the issue is people not following through with them and therefor not achieving them.
This is what I want to talk about in today’s episode of Cashflow 2 Freed – how to identify, plan, and organize your goals in a way that empowers you to not only achieve your goals, but to live your life by them.
Goals should be looked at as a lifestyle choice that are long lasting, that you do simply because you love to do them, or you love the result that it creates. But that’s a huge thought right!? How in the world can you possibly set such huge goals and actually achieve them?

Hey everybody!
I know, I know… it’s been a while since we’ve done a Cashflow 2 Freedom Fifteen Minute Friday. With the New Year, there were a few things I wanted to cover and share with you.
I’m not really about New Year’s resolutions, but I do take time to reflect on the prior year and plan for the big changes I need to make to continue learning and growing.
So what am I focused on this year?
It’s simple – tactics, strategies, and changes that are going to propel me and my overall goals into the future.
I don’t remember where I saw it or who said it but a quote I came across has stuck with me for years and it went something like this: “Successful companies are not the biggest, not the smartest, they are the companies willing to change.”
This doesn’t mean you should, or that you have to change your overall goal for your life. It simply recognizes the fact that everything in the world is constantly moving, constantly changing, and that we have to be a…

Being paralyzed | What it was like becoming completely paralyzed from a rare disease
From being paralyzed by a rare disease to living every minute of life. AJ's story of a near-death experience is not to be missed. Sometimes, freedom is just a state of mind.
Over two years ago out of the blue, my legs stopped working. Within days the rest of my body stopped working. I was hooked up to tubes to survive. I couldn't move, eat, talk or breathe.
This is my story. It's not pretty, fun, exciting, or motivating. I just wanted to tell it like it really was. Horrifying. I did my best. I worked every day to survive. I didn't give up (even tho at times I wanted to die).
I was trapped in my head. Unable to communicate. Unable to tell others the unbelievable pain I was in.
It's heavy but I didn't want to church it up. I wanted to give it to you how it really was.

There’s no getting around it - building wealth is a process. It’s a long term vision with a delayed gratification strategy. But how can you position yourself to compound your wealth building efforts? How can you build more wealth over a shorter period of time? How might we be able to turn decades into just a few short years? This is the topic of today’s discussion on the Cashflow 2 Freedom podcast. We go over the four pillars of wealth creation, how to invest in and scale real estate, getting your spending under control, and most importantly of all, how to take advantage of and leverage the tax system instead of the tax system taking advantage of and leveraging you and your hard earned money that you could otherwise keep and invest.

If you're interested in learning more about Self-Storage investing, please check out our blog: selfstorageincome.com
While in college for history, Brandon rented out some rooms in his apartment to make some extra money and that's how he got started. Instead of going to law school, he ended up buying a house, flipped it, and made $20,000. He knew real estate was for him after that.
As of today, Brandon has about 100 properties, although he's currently looking to buy hundreds of more mobile homes in mobile home parks.
Wanting to find a work environment and partners that felt like his regular laid-back life led Brandon to dream big and make plans to get there.
Rate increases! Listen to how small rate increases every year actually make tenants happier than going years without increases.

How to Underwrite Self Storage with Sam Whitaker
One of Bitterroot's partners, Sam, joins the podcast to discuss the importance of underwriting. *Note: We had some audio issues towards the end, but the information shared is still very important.
The more you know, the less risk there is. This is the idea behind today's episode. Sam works as an underwriter with AJ and they have learned what to look for in getting involved with deals. Not only do you need to know revenue sources, but also project expenses and the difference between the way it's being run and the way you would run it, if acquired.
It's easy to know how much you're going to spend on a project, because you can always stop spending, but projecting revenue is a much harder game because it's market driven, especially in something like self-storage which is month to month.
With correct underwriting and negotiating, you can score big. Listen to find out how AJ and Sam pulled off one of their biggest deals, all thanks to solid underwriting.

Real Estate Investor Michael Blank
Real Estate Investor Michael Blank joins the podcast to discuss investing in multi-family units. He also recommends four books for everybody to read including "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki.
Michael focuses on helping educate people to broadening their horizons away from just single-family homes or stock market investments. Instead, he suggests you go straight for the multi-family housing market, as well as commercial opportunities.
When do people take action and when don't they? When they find their life unacceptable in some form. Until they feel that way, they won't take action.
In order to get started, figure out your next three steps. Don't worry about what comes after that, just focus on the first three things. Then the next three. Then the next three. After a few months you'll look back and realize how far you've come.
Investing is a team sport. You have to have a team with you. Whether it's hunting for deals, or going out and raising money, you need people on yo…

Luck and College...They Matter
Is college worth it? How do you create luck? AJ and Roc Pilon tackle both questions in this episode.
Starting out, AJ and Roc talk about "Chase Chance and Creativity" by James H. Austin and the four different types of "luck" or chance.
If you were to have engineered the modern computer, would you be as rich as Bill Gates? Or does luck come into play, and if so, which kind?
Most luck is created by those who are actively seeking opportunity, and that's the kind of luck we need to harness in order to become successful in our lives.
More importantly than the degree you earn in school, are the environment you surround yourself with, the higher level thinking you learn, and the information you gather while there.
Roc makes the point that if you don't know what you want to do in the long run, or even what to study, you may want to spend some time in the workforce to explore your options without drowning in student loan debt.
While talking about the idea of "luck of motion" AJ mention…

Larry Goins- Original Virtual Investor
Larry Goins joins this episode of Cashflow2Freedom. https://larrygoins.com
Living in South Carolina, Larry has worked with close to 1,000 deals. Closing about 7 to 10 a month currently. He's a firm believer in "going where the deals are", and it's obviously working.
Larry is an innovator in the world of digital real estate investing. You can check out his book, here: Getting Started in Real Estate Day Trading, by Larry Goins. Larry teaches how to make a low-ball offer and still leave the door open to negotiating with his clients.
Without ever even seeing the property, Larry can estimate what the repairs are for each home, and know how to flip it, sometimes even from the very first phone call.
Knowing where you can compete is crucial! Small towns are often easier to get started in, even remotely. The internet connects us all so easily, that no matter where you are, you can invest all over the US.
Larry also goes over his motto "stash cash for the crash", and talks about how h…
