FAQ
What happens if the federal government starts
printing money and hyper-
inflation sets in?
Short Answer
That would be wonderful. I would pay off my loans with cheaper dollars
and raise my rents to keep up with inflation.
FAQ
What if you’re wrong and the economy collapses and your renters cannot
pay the rent?
Short Answer
No problem.
Explanation
Most
of our loans are non-recourse loans. If we cannot pay the loans, we
give the property back to the bank. Non-recourse means the bank cannot
go after any other assets we own.
My
rich dad often said, “If you owe the bank $20,000 and cannot pay
your loan,
you have a problem. If you owe the bank $20,000,000 and you
cannot
pay your loan,
the bank has a problem.”
Today, banks are very careful when lending millions of dollars. That is
why you should take real estate investment classes and learn to become an
investor, not a real estate agent. Real estate
investors must know how to
manage debt and their properties.
No matter how much money you have, start small. Invest in many small
deals, practicing to gain
experience in managing debt, property, and
tenants. Once a banker knows you have experience and a successful track
record, they will lend you as much as you can handle.
