  • Can Trump Push Jerome Powell Out of the Fed? w/WSJ's Nick Timiraos

    Can Trump Push Jerome Powell Out of the Fed? w/WSJ's Nick Timiraos
    Nov 22 2024
    Has the Federal Reserve gone too far? Many Americans are critical of the Fed’s move to raise interest rates sharply, pause for years, and then slowly start implementing rate cuts. The arguably most prominent critic of the Fed? President-Elect Donald Trump, who, shortly after nominating the current Fed chair, Jerome Powell, reversed his opinion on whether Powell was the right person for the job. Now, with Trump coming back to the White House, Powell’s job hangs in jeopardy—or does it? Can a President fire the Fed chair? Does the President have the authority to influence how the Fed operates? What would happen if Trump decided to go after Powell and request his resignation? Nick Timiraos, reporter at The Wall Street Journal and Federal Reserve expert, is on to answer these questions. Nick gives us the latest update on rate cuts, where the Fed is headed, how the future of the Fed looks with Trump back in office, and why some politicians champion “Fed Independence,” while others argue that Fed power has overstepped its bounds. Are Trump and Powell more aligned than they think, and is this government drama all talk? We’re getting Nick’s expert viewpoint on it all. In This Episode We Cover: Why “Fed Independence” could actually be a crucial piece to keeping the economy stable Whether or not Trump has the authority to fire and replace a Fed chair Future rate cuts, inflation concerns, and the Fed’s latest “signal” on rates Powell’s simple response when asked if he would resign because of Trump’s request Why the Fed does NOT have to answer to the President (and is this a good thing?) Trump’s proposed tax and tariff policies and why they could challenge the Fed And So Much More! Links from the Show Join BiggerPockets for FREE Let Us Know What You Thought of the Show!

  • Landlords, What Are Your Wildest Tenant Stories?

    Landlords, What Are Your Wildest Tenant Stories?
    Nov 20 2024
    Every landlord has some wild tenant stories. We’re sharing the ones you probably won’t believe in this episode. And we’re not just talking about a bad eviction or an upstairs neighbor blasting loud music. Instead, we’re talking about identity theft, living room toilets (this actually happened), random people sleeping on YOUR couch, and the mystery of the magically appearing staircase. Being a landlord isn’t always easy, but some stories make real estate investing truly worth it. We’ve seen some of our tenants turn their lives around completely, all by having a safe place to live. Even with all the chaos, broken toilets, non-paying tenants, and occasional hard conversations, being a landlord can be pretty rewarding. Do you have a tenant story you want to share? Drop it in the BiggerPockets Forums! In This Episode We Cover: Why you MUST have a (secured) separate entrance when house hacking The reason Henry now double-checks the identity of his tenants before signing a lease with them Turning bad tenants into good friends by taking shots with them What to do when your tenants turn your living room into a bathroom (this one was pretty bad) Why taking a chance on a tenant isn’t always a bad thing and how being a great landlord can turn people’s lives around And So Much More!

  • Financial Freedom in 8 Years by Investing for Equity (NOT Cash Flow)

    Financial Freedom in 8 Years by Investing for Equity (NOT Cash Flow)
    Nov 18 2024
    What if, within ten years, you could reach financial freedom? Imagine it. You may have a high-stress job where you’re working long hours and making good money but feeling burnout creeping in. You NEED an exit strategy if you’re going to keep up with this lifestyle because before long, you may need an early retirement. That’s precisely how Benjamin Aaker, emergency medicine physician, felt. Benjamin loves his work, and he’s still working today, but now, he has the option to leave when the burnout gets too much. After becoming an “accidental landlord,” Benjamin quickly saw the benefits of investing in real estate. He bought a few more houses and a multifamily building, then went bigger and bigger. Now, he’s equity-rich with a real estate portfolio that can support his lifestyle if he decides not to work. Even if you’re not stressed out at your job (yet), Benjamin encourages you to financially prepare to exit your career, if just for peace of mind. He talks about how you can scale smarter, faster, and better with partners, why sometimes you need to get dirty to succeed in real estate, and how to juggle investing with your full-time job. In This Episode We Cover: How to scale your real estate portfolio fast and reach financial freedom The crucial mistake Benjamin made when he bought his first big property Determining your financial independence timeline and when you want to be able to quit Appreciation vs. cash flow and the surprising choice Benjamin made to reach financial independence faster Vetting a real estate partner BEFORE you invest and red flags to look for Syndication investing for beginners and using other people’s money to buy real estate And So Much More!

So much value!

I owe a lot to this podcast. I’ve been listening for years and I’ve applied countless things I’ve heard to my life and business.

The mindset that BiggerPockets has given me has brought so much value to my life, even beyond real estate.

Thank you, Josh, Brandon, David, and the rest of the BP team!

My favorite podcast!

I started listening to BP over a year ago and I still listen to every new episode. I started from the beginning and just couldn't stop going. Every episode just provided so much value and sent me looking for more to learn. It directed me to an amazing community too. Great content overall, can't be grateful enough for this

very valuable information.

This is a great podcast. Many people don't know about self directed IRA or solo 401k. I opened one this year, I like that I'm in control of my money and I can invest where I want it.
