In this episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, host Jaren Sustar sits down with seasoned real estate investor Ryan Burnham to explore the power of house hacking as a strategy to achieve financial freedom. Ryan shares his inspiring journey from working a traditional job to building a thriving real estate portfolio through house hacking, offering valuable insights for aspiring investors looking to reduce living expenses and grow wealth through smart real estate investments.
What is House Hacking?
House hacking involves purchasing a property as your primary residence and renting out extra spaces to generate income. Whether it's a spare bedroom, a basement suite, or an additional unit in a duplex or triplex, house hacking allows you to cover mortgage costs and lower your overall housing expenses. This flexible strategy can be adapted for short-term, mid-term, or long-term rental options, depending on your financial goals.
Ryan Burnhamâs Journey to Financial Freedom
In 2018, Ryan was looking to break free from the traditional "rat race" of high income and high expenses. His first venture into house hacking started with purchasing a property that included a mother-in-law unit. By renting out one unit while living in the other, Ryan reduced his housing costs to just $200 per month. His experience shows how house hacking can turn liabilities into assets, allowing homeowners to generate passive income and build wealth over time.
Tips for Successful House Hacking
Throughout the episode, Ryan shares essential tips for managing a successful house hacking operation:
**Tenant Screening:** Thorough tenant screening is crucial, especially when living on the same property. Establish clear expectations and maintain professionalism to keep tenant relationships stress-free. **Diversifying Rental Strategies:** Ryan and his wife Jenny transitioned part of their portfolio into mid-term rentals, catering to traveling professionals. This shift significantly boosted their cash flow, demonstrating how house hacking can evolve into a broader real estate investment strategy. -
In this episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, host Kim Kiyosaki is joined by renowned macroeconomist George Gammon to break down the complexities of the current economic landscape, focusing on **oil and gas investing** and the broader financial trends shaping our future. If youâre looking for insights into recession indicators, market reactions, and how global factors like commodity prices and geopolitical tensions impact oil and gas, this episode is a must-watch.
Understanding the Inverted Yield Curve
George Gammon explains the significance of the inverted yield curve, a key indicator of economic uncertainty. When short-term interest rates rise above long-term rates, it signals a lack of confidence in the economy. Gammon points out that financial institutions are moving toward safer assets, like treasuries, which is contributing to the yield curveâs inversionâoften a precursor to a recession. This trend plays a crucial role in oil and gas investing, as economic instability often drives market volatility.
The Fedâs Influence on the Oil and Gas Sector
The episode also explores how the Federal Reserveâs actions, particularly its adjustments to interest rates, impact the oil and gas markets. Rising short-term rates and the demand for safe assets lead to market fluctuations, creating both risks and opportunities for investors in the energy sector.
Market Euphoria vs. Economic Reality
Gammon stresses the importance of looking beyond short-term market euphoria. Despite positive job numbers, other factors, such as potential oil price hikes due to Middle Eastern tensions, suggest a more complex financial landscape. These insights are critical for those invested in oil and gas, as inflationary pressures can directly influence commodity prices and profitability.
Navigating Global Commodity Prices
As China implements massive stimulus efforts to stabilize its economy, Gammon explains how these actions could indirectly affect global commodity prices, including oil and gas. Investors need to keep an eye on these global movements as they can greatly impact demand and pricing in the energy sector.
Recession Outlook and Investment Strategies
Is a recession inevitable? Gammon speculates on the likelihood of a downturn and how it might compare to previous crises, such as the 2008 Great Financial Crisis. For **oil and gas investors**, understanding these trends and preparing for market dips can be crucial. Gammon suggests focusing on sectors like gold, along with maintaining a watchlist of assets that might become undervalued during a market downturn.

In this episode of the Rich Dad Radio Show, host Jaren Sustar is joined by real estate entrepreneur Jesse Vasquez to explore one of the fastest-growing trends in property investment: mid-term rentals. Positioned between short-term vacation rentals and long-term leases, mid-term rentals are gaining traction as a stable and profitable option for investors. If youâre looking to diversify your real estate portfolio, this episode is packed with actionable insights on how to capitalize on the mid-term rental market.
What is a Mid-Term Rental?
Jesse Vasquez breaks down mid-term rentals, defining them as stays ranging from 30 days to several months. This strategy offers a perfect balance between the quick turnover of short-term rentals and the stability of long-term leases. Mid-term rentals are increasingly popular among professionals like travel nurses, engineers, and individuals on temporary assignments, providing consistent and reliable income for property owners.Why Mid-Term Rentals are BoomingThe episode explores why mid-term rentals are on the rise, with Jesse explaining several key advantages:
Professional Tenants: Mid-term rentals often attract professionals on temporary contracts, meaning lower turnover and property maintenance compared to vacation rentals.Stable Income: With fewer seasonal fluctuations, mid-term rentals provide a steady income stream, making them a reliable choice for investors.Regulatory Benefits: Unlike short-term rentals, mid-term properties often avoid city regulations that limit short-term stays, giving investors more freedom and stability in their rental operations.Key Strategies for Mid-Term Rental SuccessJesse shares practical steps to get started in the mid-term rental market:
Location Matters: Focus on properties near hospitals, universities, or project sites to attract long-term tenants like travel nurses or professionals on assignments.Target the Right Property Type: Three-bedroom, two-bath homes in good neighborhoods are ideal for mid-term rental success.Leverage Partnerships: Build relationships with hospitals, insurance agencies, and construction companies to maintain a steady pipeline of tenants.Smart Use of Technology: Utilize platforms like Furnished Finder and LinkedIn for tenant outreach, and consider using property management tools to streamline operations.00:00 Introduction

In this episode of Rich Dad Radio Show, Robert Kiyosaki sits down with Bitcoin advocate Anthony Pompliano to explore the future of money, the flaws in traditional financial systems, and the rise of Bitcoin as "digital gold." With insights into the transformation of money, this conversation covers the key principles of sound money, the historical devaluation of currency, and why Bitcoin is becoming a crucial asset for safeguarding wealth.
The Devaluation of Money: A Historical Look
Robert Kiyosaki kicks off the conversation by recalling the end of real silver in U.S. currency, using the example of the 1964 Kennedy half-dollar. Post-1964, U.S. coins were primarily copper, marking a pivotal shift in the nationâs monetary system. Kiyosaki references *Gresham's Law* and how bad money (like copper) drove out good money (like silver), igniting his lifelong study of the financial system.
Why Bitcoin is "Digital Gold"
Anthony Pompliano dives into the reasons why Bitcoin has emerged as a form of sound money, much like gold. He emphasizes Bitcoinâs finite supply of 21 million coins and its decentralized nature, making it resistant to inflation and manipulation. With growing distrust in fiat currencies, Bitcoin offers a secure alternative, operating on Blockchain technology that provides transparency and security.
Financial Education: The Key to Wealth Protection
Both Kiyosaki and Pompliano stress the importance of financial literacy in todayâs economy. Kiyosaki highlights how leaving the gold standard changed his perspective on money and why investing in assets like gold, silver, and Bitcoin is vital. Pompliano further supports this by discussing his book *How to Live an Extraordinary Life*, emphasizing the need to adapt financial strategies to the modern economy.
The Future of Sound Money
As Bitcoin nears its supply cap of 21 million coins, Pompliano believes its demand will continue to rise, positioning it as the digital equivalent of gold. Both experts agree that Bitcoin, with its decentralized and finite nature, aligns with free-market principles, making it a key player in the future of global finance.

In this episode, we dive into one of the most powerful strategies in real estate investing: leveraging Other Peopleâs Money (OPM) to build wealth. If you've ever wondered how to invest in real estate without putting up a large amount of your own capital, this episode will change your mindset and give you actionable steps to get started. Host Jaren Sustar shares his own journey and breaks down the key methods that can help anyone scale their real estate portfolio using OPM.
Why Real Estate?
Jaren shares how real estate has been a historically reliable wealth-building tool. When he started buying rental properties in 2018, his goal was financial freedom. Real estate, with its ability to provide both time freedom and financial security, has consistently been a path to wealth for many investors. Whether it's through rental income, property appreciation, or tax benefits, owning real estate can put you on the road to financial independence.
The Six Pillars of Real Estate Wealth
Jaren outlines the six foundational pillars of real estate investing:
**Leverage:** Buy properties with little to none of your own money, which is unique to real estate.**Forced Appreciation:** Increase property value by making improvements.**Traditional Appreciation:** Property values tend to rise over time.**Cash Flow:** Income earned after all expenses are covered.**Debt Pay Down:** Tenants paying down your mortgage.**Tax Benefits:** Leverage depreciation, 1031 exchanges, and refinances to reduce taxes.Strategies for Leveraging OPM
Jaren explores the three key methods for using Other Peopleâs Money to fund your investments:

In this episode of The Rich Dad Radio Show, host Robert Kiyosaki is joined by financial expert Adam Taggart to dive into the complexities of bonds and how they can help you navigate todayâs turbulent financial waters. This insightful discussion breaks down the fundamentals of bonds, the signals they provide about the economy, and smart strategies to safeguard your wealth in uncertain times.
Understanding Bonds and Exponential Growth
Robert and Adam begin the episode by introducing the concept of exponential growth using the analogy of a single drop of water doubling in volume every minute. This sets the stage for understanding the precarious state of the global financial system and why itâs essential to grasp how bonds work.
Types of Bonds and Their Importance
The discussion moves to bondsâfinancial instruments representing loans made by investors to borrowers. There are several types of bonds:
U.S. Treasury Bonds: Backed by the U.S. government and considered the safest form of bond.Corporate Bonds: Issued by companies and offering higher yields due to increased risk.Municipal Bonds (Munis): Issued by local governments with potential tax benefits but accompanied by varying degrees of risk.The Inverted Yield Curve: A Warning Sign
One of the key topics discussed is the inverted yield curve, which occurs when short-term debt instruments offer higher yields than long-term ones. This often signals an impending recession, and Adam highlights how the current inverted yield curve suggests market instability ahead.
Safe Investment Options in Uncertain Times
To manage financial risk, Robert and Adam explore safe investment options, including:
U.S. Treasury Bonds: A secure option offering better returns than in recent years.Series I Bonds: Inflation-protected bonds with a 9.62% yield, designed to safeguard against inflation.Commodities: Robertâs philosophy of investing in tangible assets like gold, silver, and even canned goods to protect against financial crises.Global Currencies and Geopolitical Factors
The episode also touches on the BRICS nationsâ efforts to create a competing currency backed by commodities like gold. While shifting away from the U.S. dollar as the worldâs reserve currency will take time, it underscores changing global financial dynamics.
Keeping It Simple: Managing Financial Risks
Robert emphasizes simplicity in managing financial risks. By stocking up on essentials, holding tangible assets like gold and silver, and staying informed about global economic trends, investors can navigate uncertainty with confidence.
