In this podcast we talk with Scott Smith, a real estate investor and asset protection attorney. Scott shares his journey into the legal field and how he got involved in real estate investing. He explains how he started investing in real estate while working as an attorney and eventually transitioned to full-time investing.

Scott Smith, with his background in law, realized the importance of asset protection while practicing as an attorney. He started investing in real estate to pay off his law school debts and found success in commercial properties. His goal wasn't just to become wealthy, but to achieve financial freedom that would allow him to pursue his passions, like mountain climbing and traveling.

Scott’s investment strategy, includes investing in commercial properties and syndications. Scott advises investors to focus on mastering one investment strategy before diversifying and to be cautious during market cycles.

Scott explains his initial focus on commercial properties and 1-to-4 rental unit buildings, and how his strategy evolved over time to primarily investing in syndication properties. He emphasizes the need to find experts in specific asset classes and diversify one's portfolio.

As Scott progressed, he shifted towards investing in syndication properties. He emphasizes the need to stay focused and master one lane of investing before branching out. Instead of syndicating his own deals, he works with syndication attorneys in his firm to help others structure their deals. By investing as a limited partner in specific asset like self-storage or gas stations, Scott diversifies his portfolio without the need for hands-on management.

One key takeaway from the episode is the importance of finding experts to invest in and the criteria for selecting them. Scott compares it to making a good hire as a business owner, highlighting the need for experience and a proven track record. Avoiding incorrect choices in investments not only prevents financial losses but also reduces high attrition rates.

When it comes to investing in syndication deals, Scott sheds light on the minimum cash amounts required. While he has seen syndications with minimum buy-ins around $50,000, he cautions against operators who are willing to accept less. Accepting lower amounts may indicate desperation on the operator's part, potentially leading to complications and challenges down the road.

Why Asset Protection Is Important
Asset protection, is a crucial aspect of maintaining and safeguarding wealth. Scott shares a personal story about a friend who lost $3 million in a lawsuit despite having insurance. This experience opened his eyes to the need for asset protection. He emphasizes that asset protection isn't limited to real estate deals but extends to partnerships, brokerage accounts, cash, and other assets.

Scott provides insights into retirement plans like IRAs and 401(k)s, explaining that while they offer some protection, they can still be vulnerable to lawsuits related to specific assets held within them. Scott also highlights the importance of estate planning and passing on wealth to future generations.

In this episode of The Really Simple Investing Podcast, host Floyd Saunders interviews John Jennings, the president of a $15 billion wealth management firm in St. Louis and an adjunct professor at Washington University's Owen Business School. John holds both a finance and a law degree from the University of Missouri.

Overview

John discusses his book, The Uncertainty Solution, which turns the ideas of investing upside down and challenges the traditional notion of needing certainty in investing. He explains why humans have a quest for certainty and how it relates to investing. The conversation also covers the average retail investor's behavior during a rising market and a market correction, and the alternative approach to investing.

Are you tired of trying to predict the future of the stock market? John Jennings, author of "The Uncertainty Solution," discusses the human need for certainty in investing and the mental models that can help investors focus on what they can control.

Jennings challenges the traditional idea that the stock market is the economy and emphasizes the importance of good investment behavior, such as disciplined rebalancing and index investing.

Jennings uses mental models to create a latticework of wisdom that will help you evaluate investment advice and learn better behavior in the face of uncertainty. To name a few: ignore expert predictions, be wary of stories, and try to invest like a dead person.

Jennings also discussed the importance of having a disciplined approach to rebalancing investments, especially during times of market volatility. He emphasized the benefits of index investing and passive investing, citing Warren Buffett's famous quote that the average retail investor should invest in the S&P 500 index fund.

If you're a starting investor, Jennings recommends focusing on good investment behavior, such as choosing inactivity as the default and rebalancing the portfolio once a year. Investing may be uncertain, but with the right mental models and strategies, you can build a solid financial foundation for your future.

Tune in to learn how to take a more disciplined approach to investing and avoid the pitfalls of trying to predict the future.

In this episode of the Really Simple Investing Podcast, Anmol Singh talks about his background in trading, the products he likes to trade, his approach to trading, and his book, "Prepping for Success: Ten Keys for Making It in Life". He also discusses the three different styles of trading he uses - day trading, swing trading, and long-term investing.

Anmol Singh is the author of "Prepping for Success: Ten Keys for Making It in Life" and has been in the trading industry for 13 years. He started trading at 18 years old and has been trading US stocks and options on them, primarily based on technical chart patterns.

Anmol Singh, is the founder of Live Traders, and divides his trading into day trading, swing trading, and his investment account.

In the interview, Singh emphasizes the importance of learning, research, and finding the right mentors to become a successful trader. He distilled everything he's learned over his career into ten fundamental keys for making it in life, which he shares in his book, Prepping for Success. The book has a call to action in each chapter, and Singh believes that if readers apply those calls to action, they will see results. The most critical key to success, according to Singh, is integrity, meaning doing what you say you're going to do when you said you're going to do it. Singh also emphasizes the importance of taking action and not getting stuck in a learning loop, being a lifelong learner, and surrounding oneself with people who already have the desired results and paying them to get close to them.

Singh's Live Traders company offers a live trading chat room where he trades live every single day. He also offers courses, seminars, mentorship programs, and coaching groups for people who want to go further and get started in the stock market. Singh recommends that traders should not follow what he does but rather learn from his actions. He suggests starting with his free two or three-hour video course and hundreds of hours of free trading lectures on his YouTube channel.

Singh uses fundamental analysis to determine which companies he believes in for his investment portfolio. He uses two questions to make investment decisions: is the company going to be more relevant or less relevant in the next five years, and are more people going to be using it or fewer people going to be using it in the next five years? He believes that Tesla will be more relevant in the next five years due to their full-service driving capabilities, solar panels, and new products like the optimists and cyber truck.

Singh also places covered call options on some of his long-term stocks, like Tesla, Costco, and BlackRock, to increase income. Singh recommends swing trading as an easier style for people who have no desire to be a day trader. Singh's model has beaten the market for the last five years in a row by a good margin, even during last year's market downturn. Singh believes that mindset is half the battle in making money, and his book and resources aim to help traders develop the right mindset.

Kim and her husband were both educators and had a significant amount of student loan debt when they got married. However, they were determined to achieve financial freedom and started following the Dave Ramsey program, taking extra jobs, and making sacrifices to pay off their debt in just 28 months. They then turned to investing, bought a house, and paid it off in only six years.

Kim's success inspired her to teach others how to manage their money and build wealth.

Kim discusses how she got into direct sales and recognized the broken understanding of money management in both personal and business finances. She discovered her superpower in helping people with their money mindset and day-to-day finances, which led her to start her coaching business.
