FAR 179 Expected Air Date: 8/23/18 Opening We’ve had great feedback from the home technology show with Don DeRosa. If you missed it you can still listen to it both on the Flipping America App, where it is show # 147 or watch the video of the interview on our YouTube Channel. But we continue to get questions about technology, not just the technology we put into our properties, but the technology we use to make our businesses run and work. A little later on, I’m going to answer that question for you and tell you about the technology solutions we use here in our business. And I’m going to answer a question we get quite often: “How do you send out social media messages all day long? Do you have an employee that just sits there tweeting thing s out?” Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are out with a new loan product this month which I believe will have a significant impact in 5 years and that impact won’t be a good thing. But take heart investors! With every dumb decision followed by inevitable loss and heartache, there is opportunity for someone. I’m going to break down the news, tell you what’s going to happen, and prepare you for the fallout.

- Vincent, Macon, GA, “It seems that all the great deals are in a bad part of town. Is that true everywhere? How do I make any money there?”
- Elise, Port St. Lucie, FL, “I really liked the show you did on smart home technology. Can you talk a bit about the technology, programs, apps, and other solutions you use in your real estate business?”
- Stephen, Boulder, CO, “Can you explain the difference between cap rate and cash on cash return? What should I be looking for when buying a single family rental?”
- Sherry, Sebring, FL, “What are the key steps when buying a flip project in another town?”
- Lynetta, Jackson, WY, “We want to bounce back and forth between Jackson and Austin, TX, you know, avoiding the weather extremes but getting in some skiing when we want, etc. We are both in our mid 50’s and our question is should we buy something in both places or just do longer-term rentals? We could pay cash for both places, but can’t help but wonder if our cash is better off elsewhere.”
