  • 140: Men on Strike: Why This Monumental Social Topic Impacts Real Estate and Household Formation with Helen Smith PhD
    Dec 10 2025

    Jason sets the stage for an interview with Helen Smith, Ph.D., author of Men on Strike, emphasizing the book's wide-ranging impact on household formation and real estate investing. Shifting focus, Jason predicts a new, accommodative Federal Reserve chair who will promote "easy money" and lead to lower rates and increased mortgage credit availability. This policy change is expected to release significant pent-up market demand, driving appreciation as millions of potential buyers enter the limited housing stock. Furthermore, Jason observes that the previously soft apartment market is firming up, which should put upward pressure on single-family rental rates. Finally, he invites listeners to register for a free master class detailing how to secure up to $250,000 in credit to achieve substantial builder discounts through a delayed financing strategy.

    Then Jason welcomes clinical and forensic psychologist Helen Smith as they discuss her book "Men on Strike" and its exploration of men's disengagement from society, including its impact on marriage and family dynamics. Smith shares insights from her new book "His Side" about men's challenges and experiences, particularly regarding societal expectations and legal issues, while also discussing the "Trad Wife" movement and the changing landscape of gender roles. They conclude with Smith highlighting the importance of male spaces and camaraderie, while addressing concerns about risk-taking behaviors and the evolving nature of relationships in contemporary society.

  • 139: Cash on Cash Return and 7 Steps to Success in Business with Lori Ann LaRocco
    Nov 10 2025

    There's a term that is used in real estate investing frequently that isn't always measured the same way, and it's called cash on cash return. Elisabeth breaks down a property she found in Memphis to give a real life example of determining what the cash on cash return would be based on all the factors the equation uses.

    Later, Jason Hartman interviews Lori Ann LaRocco about her books Opportunity Knocking, and Thriving in the New Economy. Lori is a senior talent producer at CNBC and has interviewed some of the biggest names on Wall Street and Washington. The two discuss how it's possible to acquire success in leadership in your personal and business life, and the importance of knowing yourself before you can grow outward.

    Key Takeaways:

    5:56 How you calculate your cash flow

    8:54 Some things you can do to protect yourself from maintenance fees before you purchase an investment home

    Lori Ann LaRocco Interview:

    10:59 7 strategies all successful leaders follow

    14:21 It's critical that you find others who inspire you, then use that inspiration to form your own way to reach your goals

    18:08 Once you figure out what you know to be right you HAVE to stick with it. There will be hard times, but trust yourself

    24:29 Employers and investors can see true passion, and will be attracted to it

    27:30 It may be hard to get from one step of success to another, but the cumulative effort will bring about success.

    34:38 There's very little more important than self-belief

    35:40 You can find Lori's blog at www.LoriAnnLaRocco.wordpress.com

    37:41 Lori's book Thriving in the New Economy showed various reactions she saw CEOs have leading up to, and after, the financial crisis
