  • Brad Hamblen: Building Generational Wealth Through Real Estate
    May 21 2025
    Is real estate still the smartest path to building lasting wealth and legacy — even in a high-rate, low-inventory market? Find out why now might be the most critical time to act. In this episode of Legacy Leaders, guest host Josh Meyer sits down with Brad Hamblen, Branch Manager at Citywide Mortgage and Real Estate Investor. Together, they explore how homeownership and real estate investing build financial security and generational wealth, sharing valuable insights and practical tips for listeners. Brad draws from his extensive experience to discuss navigating high interest rates, low housing inventory, and creative financing solutions, offering actionable advice for first-time homebuyers, investors, and anyone serious about building their legacy. This episode is a must-listen for young professionals, families, and aspiring real estate investors, providing both knowledge and tools to navigate this important subject. Key Takeaways: ● 🏠 Start Early with Real Estate: Buying your first home or investment property early dramatically impacts your long-term wealth and security. ● 💡 Affordability vs. Pre-Approval: Understand the critical difference — just because you qualify for a certain amount doesn't mean it's financially wise to spend it all. ● 📈 Creative Strategies for High Rates: Solutions like temporary rate buy-downs can help buyers manage payments and enter the market confidently. ● 🎖️ VA Loan Opportunities: Veterans have access to incredible benefits that many aren't fully utilizing — Brad explains how to maximize them. ● 🛠️ House Hacking and Legacy Planning: Real estate strategies like house hacking can lay the groundwork for a strong, enduring financial legacy for future generations. Quotes from Brad Hamblen: ● "Pre-approval is not the same thing as affordability — you have to know what you’re really comfortable with paying every month." ● "They're not building any more $200,000 starter homes. If you can buy one, do it now." ● "Building generational wealth means creating options and freedom — and real estate is one of the best vehicles to do that." 🔗 Conclusion: Whether you're a first-time homebuyer, a veteran, or a future real estate investor, this conversation with Brad Hamblen gives you practical advice and inspiration to take action today and build a legacy that lasts.

  • Gary Heldt: Mastering Your Finances: The Key to Long-Term Success
    May 21 2025
    💼 Are you building your business without a forward-looking tax strategy? You might be leaving thousands on the table. This episode is your wake-up call. In this episode of Legacy Leaders, Stan and Katie Beth sit down with Gary Helt, CPA, Certified Tax Coach, and owner of Small Business Advisors. Together, they explore the powerful difference between tax preparation and tax planning, sharing valuable insights and practical strategies to help small business owners lower their tax burden and build smarter, more sustainable financial futures. Gary draws from his extensive experience to discuss the risks of reactive tax filing, the rise of misleading online financial advice, and proven techniques for legally reducing taxes. This episode is a must-listen for business owners, entrepreneurs, and high-income professionals, providing both the mindset and tools to take control of your financial story. 🎯 Key Takeaways: ● 📊 Tax Planning ≠ Tax Preparation: Most CPAs are historians, not strategists. True value comes from forward-thinking planning—not just form filing. ● 🏠 Use the Augusta Rule: Rent your home to your business for up to 14 days and receive tax-free income—a simple strategy often overlooked. ● 💰 Stack Your Strategies: Layering multiple tax strategies (like defined benefit plans) can drastically reduce your tax bracket—sometimes from 37% to 24%. ● 📉 IRS Audit Trends: Schedule C and E filers are facing more scrutiny, especially as the IRS relies on newer, less experienced agents. ● 🚫 Beware of TikTok Tax Advice: Misleading or outright illegal financial advice is everywhere online. Know who you’re listening to—and verify everything. 🗣️ Quotes from Gary Helt: ● "There’s a big difference between tax preparation and tax planning—preparation looks backward, planning looks forward." ● "The IRS has more money, more time, and more power than you do—you have to play smart, not just aggressive." ● "Just because you got it for free on social media doesn’t mean it won’t cost you everything in the end." 🔗 Conclusion: Don’t wait until year-end to think about taxes. Strategic planning now could save you more than you realize. Listen in and start planning forward—not backward. Want more from Gary? Find him on LinkedIn or visit SBAdvisors.cc.
