Hurricane Ian can’t stop us but the Fed can

This update was delayed due to Hurricane Ian that directly hit us last week. I am currently located on the water in the south side of Tampa Bay and we got lucky that at the last moment the direction of the hurricane went further south. This left us with lots of rain and wind but the potential flooding was avoided since we were north of the Hurricane’s eye. Even though the hurricane did minimal damage, we were without power for three days and internet for six days. Many trees in the neighborhood got knocked down but luckily most properties did not get major damage besides some fences and shingle roof damage. We may have survived the Hurricane in our area, but many parts of Florida south of our location were not as lucky. This was a big lesson in preparedness for disasters and showed us how vulnerable our current society is for food supply and energy. Unfortunately, it’s not just natural disasters we have to be worried about but man-made war and economic disasters are a big up coming concern which I discuss in this latest video.

ISO 20022 is digital slavery

The Federal Reserver has increased the base rate by another .75% this week. Real Estate mortgage interest rates have hit the highest point since 2008. Prices of goods and services are beginning to come down all while the Governments and Bankers prepare to roll out their digital currency system. ISO 20022 has been an international plan for years that will lead to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). I discuss how this plan is shaping up and the downfalls it can lead to for our society.

Achieve any goal by focusing on your one thing

All my stories of my career and my journey were based off this idea of focus on the most important task, which is what that book, the one thing is all about. The one thing talks about eliminating the clutter, that multitasking is a myth. That’s something I really didn’t grasp until later on when I really got into real estate and I learned the idea of time blocking. The idea of time blocking is taking a chunk of time in your calendar and focusing on your most important task during that time period. That means avoiding any emails, avoid returning calls and text messages, avoid distractions in your office place, closing your door, shutting everything else off, and just focusing on that task. To do that, first, you need to figure out what your most important task is.

Mortgage Payments Shoot Up, is this the end of Commercial Real Estate?

The COVID-19 pandemic gave governments unprecedented authority over the free market that has never happened before. Covid eviction moratoriums have caused devastating effects on the real estate market. Now, with the rising interest rates of borrowing money, combined with the devastating effects of banning lawful evictions in major metropolitan areas, are we about to see a crash in commercial real estate unlike anything we have seen since the great depression?
