Perhaps you have been thinking about investing in real estate and you wonder how you can do that. In today's episode we uncover 12 different ways and go over pros and cons of each method as well as briefly cover what they are.

Enjoy!

You can say whatever you want about 2021 but you definitely cannot say that it was boring. But what's in the store for 2022? Well, to be honest, no one really knows but there are certain things that are relatively simple to assume based on the current trends we are seeing. 

So, here are my predictions of what I expect to see in 2022 when it comes to economy/politics in general, inflation, interest rates, asset prices and more.

I do hope you enjoy the episode and I do appreciate you subscribing. Cheers and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Real Estate prices have been booming in 2020 and 2021. This article will highlight the five most important real estate trends in 2022.

It is important to understand these in advance so that you have time to prepare to financially benefit.

The housing market is always changing – following the laws of supply & demand, demographics and economic shifts, and the technological advancements. With the last couple of years being incredibly profitable for real-estate investors, people want to know: what real estate trends can I expect to see in 2022?

As you know, the show is sponsored by 1 Deal Away (https://1dealaway.com/), a financial education company designed for adults who are looking for ways to potentially generate and preserve wealth through financial hacking and real estate investing. Additionally, the new sponsor has joined the crowd: Tsaishen Crypto House (https://tsaishencrypto.house/), a blockchain peer to peer marketplace allowing any property owner to easily  upload their property onto the blockchain.

WOW! 2021 has been an exciting year already, and it's only the 6th day of the year. Imagine what 359 more days can do. With stocks being volatile and going down, we have bond yields going up, sending mixed messages. But then you look at crypto and you realize: it's a bull market.

We are seeing record smashing returns for digital investors and many analysist and investors are expecting 2021 returns to be in X's not %'s.

Bitcoin is already up well over 200% in only 2 months. On annual basis the yield is embarrassingly high. So, is this a rat poison and if so, who's the rat and should you have some?

Well this is a historic moment for sure for the future of cryptocurrencies and our entire financial system. Today we uncover the ground breaking news and what that may mean for our money and some of the oldest cryptos.

Well Bitcoin is making news with the new all time highs. And while 2021 will be a spectacular year for sure, we're seeing a pull back in the short-term, with loss of approximately 20% at the time of the recording. And this pull back is good, as it gives buyers opportunity to get more sats for less money.

In addition to taking a look at the charts and doing an analysis, we look at other news in the financial markets and what 2021 can mean and what I expect: 

• higher prices and unemployment
• lower dollar
• higher tech, precious metals and crypto
• more money printing

2021 is here and lots of things will happen. Together we'll uncover what and how to best prepare for it all.

From money printing to taxation the government seems to be doing everything in its power to destroy business and wealth. Today, we look around the globe at the most recent news and announcements as to what is happening. 

Today we take a look at the size of Bitcoin,  inching every so closely to Berkshire Hathaway and smashing the sovereign nations' GDP. By market-cap, bitcoin is starting to take over not the just largest businesses, but the world. As Raul Pal said, bitcoin is truly eating the world. Pumping well over $28,000 and smashing records. Today we explore the potential that BTC will hit $30K before 2021 (yup only a few days left).

Additionally, we take a look at the second largest crypto: Ethereum and make consideration as to why and how it could grow to meet the derivative market. We follow in the footsteps of some of the others pointing this out to calculate how ETH price could grow to $7,000 per coin, eventually possibly reaching as much as $70K. And if this is true, how far will BTC go then.

So much excitement, so many possibilities. 

Holidays are important for many and founders know that. So many projects listed their coins around the holiday season and today we'll take a look at a few. Of course we are going to look at some insane pumps with Bitcoin as well, since Xmas was quite good for this crypto.

On 23rd we've heard about no deal to the stimulus and here is how the markets reacted...

New checks will be rolling out soon and with it we take a look at what this actually may mean for you, how much can you get, when you can expect to receive it and what folks may decide to do with their money. Additionally, we will cover what the bill means for renters and landlords and how businesses can claim some extra cash if they need it.

But, this is not all. In the second part of the episode we will look at government officials coming for companies who might have slighted their customers as well as what's happening overall in the markets. 

To finish off, we take a look at incredibly bullish season for my favorite baby-asset, bitcoin.

The money printer goes BRRRRRRRRRRRRR but what does that mean for you and I and how will that translate into our wealth or possibly demise? And above all what can we do about it all?

Or shall we say currency...

In today's special episode only for Money Geeks, we explore an article making arguments about what money is and how is should be used. For this discussion we look at fiat, gold, bitcoin, and stablecoins. Yes, money is changing before our eyes and it's time to evaluate which makes sense to HODL and which ones should be used for trading. 

But what does that mean? Today we'll explore exactly what that means for all HODLers out there as well as the exchanges that make getting into crypto a possibility. This is incredibly important news and while there are some stuff that is bad, it's not all bad. It's actually really, really good, especially if the market rallies (and I believe it will)... 

and now that I'm uploading the content I did take a look AND IT DID!!! 

BTC hit a brand new All Time High shooting over $24,000 - go take a look :)

Number 1 Rule To Investing is DON'T LOSE YOUR MONEY!

Many people who are brand new to investing, trading, leverage and many other projects jump in without pausing to learn first. That's not very intelligent. And today we cover incredibly important news of how one person lost $40,000 in a matter of minutes because he did something that is, well DUMB. If you don't want to be DUMB MONEY (and you don't) you must listen to this episode to learn what not to do.

Additionally, we'll take at incredibly important call by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the call to ALL central banks in their need to rethink the reserves. And while IMF doesn't say your reserves should have bitcoin, they do signal towards it by stating that in today's world of digitalization it's important to change our parameters and I AGREE! 

This is not a smart move for banks only but for all of us. And if you can front-run the central banks, you will become your own BANK! Listen, learn, research and then take action. Let's go!

Bitcoin did some crazy moves pumping well over 20% in a very short period of time, so we steal a portion of the episode to talk about not just what happened, but what can happen in the few days left of 2020.

After looking at bitcoin, we move into the beautiful world of real estate and recap the year. We of course do take a look at the current state of the market and the exciting pieces that have happened already but also what the future may hold. 

Many will tell you to stay away from crypto and to dump your real estate, but I think they are wrong These two asset classes when played together in a strategy (which I will reveal to you) have a potential to run a few hundred dollar investment into millions of dollars and render you financially free for life. 

So if you want to learn how it all can work, take a listen and then do your own research and make your own decisions.

In today's episode we look at the news around the up and coming asset class CRYPTO and the scams that are within the space. Overall, I do believe that crypto and blockchain are one of the safest ways to preserve and potentially grow your wealth, however you have to be smart and educated. As within any space where money can be taken away from those that are ignorant to those that are in the know, this is no different.

Recently, Ledger hard-wallet company was hacked and hackers obtained information of their customers. While the hackers don't have the user's money that is not stopping them to trick people into turning their keys and wealth willingly over. 

So,  if you don't want to fall for the scam, you MUST listen to this episode right now!

In this episode we take a quick look around the world and what is happening when it comes to money. We learn about an oligarch who is now mining bitcoin in his Kentucky factory, we uncover a bit more information about the US Treasury department hack and what we all can learn from it, and we discuss what MassMutual buying bitcoin means for us all and this new asset class.

It's time to take a look at new technologies developing within real estate space. It's slow moving but moving and you must know about it. Additionally, we'll take a look at what some of the prominent CEOs within the space have to say about 2021. Are we going to see a crash? Or are we going to escape it with minor bumps and bruises but otherwise be fine.

Let's find out.

2020 is an interesting year for sure. We've started with pandemic and we're ending with pandemic plus financial calamity plus hacking and many other issues. In this episode we take a look at some breaking news that you should know as they will have a much larger impact on us all for years to come. 

Firstly we look at cyber crime hack. Then we look at water being a new commodity that will be traded and likely turn into unaffordium in a few short years. And I predict not just massive hunger deaths but those caused by thirst as regular humans won't be able to afford it. We are playing with fire and will likely get burned, but only time will tell.

Finally we do talk retirement and planning for it.  

Today we'll take a look at the new stimulus bill to be announced later today. I'm sad to report cash will not be sent to individuals and we don't quite know exactly what's inside the bill. We will take some positive news for bitcoin and gold but we'll also take a look at the warning from analyst that predicts higher probability of market crash and dollar going higher, both which could dampen alternative investments.

In looking at the news and charts I have come to a conclusion that more likely than not, we have a few days at most before bitcoin hits a new high above $20,000 and remains there. In this episode we'll take a look at some news within this exciting space and then take a deeper dive into bitcoin and why I believe what I do.

Please note, this is not a financial advice and I do not have a crystal ball to state with certainty that this will happen. I am only looking at the tea leaves and attempting to make sense of it all.

Watching and listening to the news to get informed is great. However, a much better way is to pay attention to the news as signals in how you can position yourself to benefit. In today's episode we take a look at some of the stories that might give us a green signal to make our moves.

I do want to apologize yet again for failing to hit record right away, but I think I do a decent job catching you up. Enjoy!

Analysts are expecting that dollar will lose significant value in 2021 causing many prominent investors to seek alternatives. Gold has served that purpose for centuries but now the new kind of digital gold is making the giant waves: bitcoin. Today we look at the news surrounding what's happening with our money and why so many are bullish on bitcoin even though indicators show that price reduction in short term is imminent.

Welcome to the brand new episode where we take a look at the real estate market update. Supply is down, prices are up, mortgage rates are low and winter is coming. What does it all mean and what can we expect in 2021? Today, we uncover all that.

2021 is around the corner and with it comes planning to pay your 2020 taxes. Whether you have lost or made money this year, it's important to understand that taxation impact on your wealth. Today we will cover exactly that.

We will also cover what holding and transacting in crypto may mean for your taxes.

Exciting pieces are developing in the crypto money space but after all the positive news we've seen the prices tumble. How low will they go, no one knows for sure but my guess is no less than $500 ETH and no less than $12,500 in Bitcoin (although some support was already shown at the $18,600 level).

Additional pieces that may be of use to you are that LIBOR is being replaced with SOFR (super important for your loans) and Facebook has been behaving badly yet again, but with the new acquisition the price may still go up today... 

Today we look at the overall positive crypto market and point out some stories that support the idea behind Bitcoin still being in the rally. As we jump into the charts, a strong breakout pattern develops in what is likely to become one of the most important projects in DeFi space: YFI. 

If you like to geek out on this stuff, the show is for you.

Cheers and see you tomorrow!

In today's episode we look at what's happening in the world of crypto and the massive speed at which the central banks are trying to get into the game. With Libra poised to launch in January 2021 and China's digital yuan, the rest of the world is in a mad rush to deploy.

Since the fall of Bitcoin price many people that have been long-term critics are jumping on the bandwagon to beat the asset down... calling is useless, manipulated, and a bad call. But no everyone agrees. I state my view on the whole piece called "value", "asset", and share the views of others.

At the end of the day, the questions you must ask yourself are:

1. What is an asset?
2. What is value?

When you can answer those for yourself, you'll know what to do.

LISTENER DISCRESSION ADVISED: this show does have a content that some members of the audience may find offensive. It will be announced before it begins.

Today we take a look at the carnage that happened in crypto markets, many coins losing anywhere between 25-40% or more. We also take a look at a few coins that have performed really well and we do have some chart analysis.

In addition to taking look at the crypto markets we also have special announcement from your government and health officials. 

If you do want to take a look at the chart (or the Oregon Health Department Display mentioned in the show), please visit the YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/6_YVoHCgIHI

While JP Morgan has a huge fine on their books, the crypto market soar yet again. But warning is issued to the HODLers of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP and we uncover as to why and what you can possibly expect. 

Chainlink is presumed to have lots of runway and projects like Linkswap are likely reasons for that.

Ethereum 2.0 will officially go live on December 1 and price moves we saw resulted in nearly zero moves on the exchange. Likely the staking and huge rewards is the reason, giving a likely chance that ETH will continue it's upward momentum.

Stellar, Filecoin and Yearn.Finance are other coins we cover today as they might hold some good upswings for us.

Well Bitcoin is only about 6% from it's all time high, while Ethereum still has about 85% to go to get there... draw your own conclusions.

If you have about $200 you can buy your way out of quarantine in England. If you're broke, well you gotta stay in.

Additionally, today we uncover the COVID vaccines and the cost it could mean for you and what the newly elected Treasury Secretary could mean for crypto (among other things, like money go BRRRRRRR)... you definitely don't want to miss this one.

Monday was an exciting day all around. Bitcoin holding steady above 18,000, but Ethereum is the one that steals the week with 30%+ gains. WOW.

Today we take a look at some news around the globe and of course cover the markets.

And if you are interested in a new defi project coin that could pump like crazy... something akin to YFI, then stay tunes because I do cover it here.

Cheers!

In today's episode, we take a look at what's happening in the broader economy before we switch over the crypto. First on the block (pun intended) is the retail sector failure to pay rent, which signals possible new wave of business bankruptcies, both in the retail sector as well as commercial real estate.

From there, we jump into taking a look at the credit scoring and how the algorithms are messing up, big time, boosting credit scores for those that likely have trouble paying.

Then we uncover the most recent hacks, one in DeFi and the other one with GoDaddy.

Finally, onto some speculation, looking to connect the dots on the money. The Fed has stated they are not going to spend time developing CBDC (central bank digital currency) any time soon. However, they are connected and monitoring the evolution of the stable coins and providing support for them. My bet, USDC may become the USCBDC and today I share my thinking (this is PURE SPECULATION on my part)!

Bitcoin is all the rage for corporations large and small. With so many of them jumping into the space it is easy to see how BTC will go to the moon. Now we are getting reports of shortage, which only means one thing: THE PRICE WILL GO UP.

Today, we look at the current news about what's happening with the markets and within the crypto space. We also look at where other markets are and what's happening with the PPP loans. 

If you like crypto and want to learn more about what's happening in the market, today's episode is for you. We are going to take a look at some news about ANOTHER SHORTAGE (don't worry it's not toilet paper) as well as developments within the bond markets (hint: yields are going down). Soon after that, we switch to the world of crypto and take a look at some insane returns over the last 24 hours as well as over the last week.

We are looking at some charts in this show and if you'd like to take a look as well, you can find it here: https://youtu.be/YVD63U7JwqI

Happy Friday Y'all!

In today's show we focus on the latest news about real estate. Many people are excited for the house prices going up. Some are calling for a giant crash to start as early as January 2021. And the rest are caught in the middle looking for an affordable home, searching for the lowest mortgage rates and wondering whether now is a worst time to buy. My opinion: it depends! My advice: let's follow the development and make our own educated choices.

Today we look at the current rates (going down y'all) and the builder sentiment (going up). We focus on best ways to think about your investing and I do some Q&A with the live audience answering questions:

- If I raise my rents will tenants walk?

- How often should I do renovations?

- How difficult is to manage property and what options do I have?

Airbnb has announced IPO and those early investors will make millions. Are you one of them? No? So sad. Jeff Bezos is.

Today we cover how individuals who get into pre-IPO can benefit the most and what the risks are. We cover what's happening in Europe with their stimulus as well as crypto market overview, including a giant, some call it "ponzi" scheme. Is it? Is it not? I don't know. Take a listen and let me know.

In today's episode we cover some articles and conversations about the future of money. To understand the future, must understand it's past and today we are doing just that. Money has been in existence for centuries and ways to exchange amongst each other have been alive and well since the humans came down the trees... maybe even before that. 

But we are evolving. Our needs (at least some of them) are changing (or at least where we get them from) and with it our money shifts. Today we talk about that shift.

There is evidence to support that Bitcoin price may come down still in the short-term. Today we look at the evidence beyond just charts as to why that may be. However that does not make me scarred nor do I plan on selling. As other long-term evidence is mounting up to still show that this brand new asset class has many moons of upside to it.

We'll cover some laws and regulations around the world from banks and governments, business development trends, and past performance of the space. We also see some strong evidence that Ethereum may continue to hold strong as well as how a simple announcement can make an altcoin go up 4X.

It's a packed show, all crypto based and I hope you enjoy it. If you want to join the live show and watch is, you can find me on https://1dealaway.com/live
