After watching the Cash Flow Expo segment where I was on a panel, someone emailed me and asked me to explain what I meant by ‘hard assets‘ in my closing statements.
[What business do I have recommending hard assets at a cash flow event, anyway?! 😬]
Now, I’m not able to articulate with academic precision how economics and all the financial systems work, but I absorb A LOT of content, reflect up on it, pray about it, then ask my gut what it all that means in terms of what I should (or shouldn’t) do right now to position appropriately.
I bend my intuition around the corner to see/feel what’s coming.
And hedge so that I’m not too heavy in any one sector and have at least some resources to leverage regardless of what happens, including the grid going down for a significant period of time.
I had to laugh at a post I saw recently… it said:
“I honestly have no idea if we are close to a crash, a melt up, WW3, an AI industrial revolution, the mother of all short squeezes, a depression, a recession, or aliens… but it sure feels like all of them at once.”
I can relate! 😂
Friday I was interviewed by Dave Putz and Nathan Turner, hosts of The Real Estate Notes Show, and frankly I was surprised by what came out of my mouth at times… (nope, no swear words, thank goodness).
I’ve apparently hit that point where I’m not too worried about sounding weird, batty or completely off my rocker.
With a brand like ‘Note Queen’, you’d expect that, I guess.
But honestly, until relatively recently I was somewhat embarrassed and felt a little cringy whenever someone introduced me as The Note Queen. 😅
But you know… I’m turning 62 this summer and dang it, I’m just gonna own the darn thing!
At the end of the show, Nathan asked me what my crystal ball had to say about where the economy is going.
I said I was considering two timelines: one where things progress in a somewhat predictable inflationary fashion where my positioning in property & paper is this:
- Buy as much owner financed property as possible… most of which will be wrapped and sold to owner occupants, creating passive income with none of my own money left in the deal = infinity return, with powerful options and ‘hidden’ investment bonuses built in.
- Buy front-end partials of other people’s notes
- Generate cash mining for the above 2 opportunities through: being a real estate agent, a direct cash buyer (notes & real estate), property management / master leases
- Use that cash to acquire more ‘hard assets’
Over the next 12-24 months, I believe if you aren’t positioned in hard assets that will float atop the inflationary tide, you may be priced out entirely. Generational wealth will be made and lost.
We need hard assets and the cash flow to protect them.
With enough cash flow, you won’t find yourself being forced to sell valuable assets at an inopportune time.
Here is a short list of what I consider ‘hard assets’:
🏠 Real estate that carries itself while it’s appreciating (productive agricultural land will be good as commodities sky rocket)
🪙 Precious metals: gold and silver, etc. For a couple resources on this, check out the following:
- Silver runs out on this date – most aren’t ready
- The next big commodities boom is just getting started
⛽️ Oil and gas
₿ Digital assets representing the new financial system that can produce cash flow while they are appreciating in price long term… you can earn interest on and borrow against these (or it is in the works):
- Bitcoin – digital gold. This is a global investment grade asset along with
- XRP – Ripple is positioning to replace SWIFT
- Other important projects: ETH, LINK, HBAR, XLM, ADA
For those who haven’t positioned in any of these, you’ve been given a gift with the recent downturn. Just my opinion. Do your own research and DCA (Dollar Cost Average) in as appropriate.
My second timeline goes something like this:
There is a sharp, unexpected divergence… an ‘Exit Stage Left‘ and an honest financial system is radically installed practically ‘overnight’, making it easier for all of humanity to thrive and proper and simultaneously making many of our current institutions & investment vehicles obsolete.
The systems we now have need to crumble… they WILL crumble because they are corrupt and built upon greed, power and rely upon great inequalities… they need a slave class.
Since at least 1913, the banking cartel has made sure that we are indentured servants, that we are impoverished. The ‘house’ always wins.
Those values do not resonate with the ‘Age of Aquarius‘, with eternal principles, universal/natural law, with love, integrity and power-to-the-people.
We have a fiat currency that is basically a ponzi scheme intent on siphoning wealth from the people.
They create money out of thin air and lend it to us with interest, which means it can never be paid back.
And that Monopoly money created out of thin air is lent as mortgages, and if people don’t pay their mortgages, the bank confiscates their very real assets.
Thus the transfer of wealth up the food chain continues.
I have heard tell of attorneys that were able to get bank mortgages completely dismissed due to what I consider their fraudulent foundations.
Of course these professional rebels get black vans and guys with dark sunglasses showing up at the door.
“We won’t arrest you and we’ll let you live, but you have to quit doing what you’re doing… we can’t let the public get wind of this.”
It has to be the best Tom Sawyer trick of all time to shift all of this ‘toxic’ bank paper to private hedge funds and individual investors.
I’m sure I’m either offending or causing those in love with institutional paper to write me off completely, and I get it. 🤷🏼♀️
These are just the ‘radical’ thoughts that I can’t help but consider.
What if… just what if there were some sort of reckoning, a ‘jubilee’ of all debt originated from the morally corrupt machine?
OK, well, perhaps unlikely, but still…
That’s why I’ll stick with Mom ‘n Pop paper (or private lenders who put up money they worked hard to earn)… even though that paper is unique and often doesn’t conform to industry standards.
And why I’m passionate about what I’m calling The AI (Angel Investor) Real Estate Blueprint.
So that we can make individuals wealthier and communities stronger WITHOUT engaging with or sending money up the food chain to Wall Street.
We don’t fight against the system, we simply create a parallel paradigm that makes it obsolete, or at the very least optional.
One of the things that will make it possible is a robust understanding of the secondary market for mortgage notes so sellers who ‘carry’ have access to liquidity as needed.
And ‘angel investors’ in the community ready, willing the able to provide it.
[BTW, this is the first draft of the cover… not quite there yet… any thoughts?]
OK, so Epstein. Here are concepts that resonated:
- Controlled Disclosure, Functional Sacrifice, and the Architecture of Protection
- What if even just part of the Epstein files are real? >>EXODUS
Take care, thanks for reading, now…
