The Only Time to Leverage Debt

As we navigate the complex world of personal finance, it is essential to stay up-to-date on the latest strategies and trends for building wealth and securing our financial futures. One key principle that’s been gaining traction in recent years is the idea of leveraging debt to acquire income-producing assets.

Aside from borrowing only what is needed, it is important to take note of the following:

  • Use debt strategically to acquire assets that generate regular cash flow or income, such as rental properties, dividend-paying stocks, or a profitable business. This will not only increase your overall wealth over time but also offset the cost of the debt through the income generated by the assets. Take a look at this article from Business Insider for more guidance about money-generating assets.

  • Carefully plan and understand the risks involved. It is important to evaluate potential investments and select those that are likely to generate enough income to cover the cost of the debt. By considering factors such as interest rates, market volatility, and potential cash flows, investors can gauge the feasibility of the investment and make sound financial choices.

    You’ll also need to have a solid plan in place for managing the assets over the long term, as well as a backup plan in case of unforeseen market or economic changes. This could involve diversifying the investment portfolio, establishing emergency funds, or having alternative investment options ready to deploy if needed.

  • Have a clear vision of your long-term goals. This provides you with a sense of purpose and direction. Are you aspiring to start a business, invest in real estate, save for retirement, or do social impact investing? Keeping your goals at the forefront of your mind serves as a constant reminder of what you’re working towards. This clarity allows you to make informed decisions that align with your objectives, rather than being swayed by short-term impulses.

    By staying focused on your long-term objectives, cultivating discipline in your financial habits, and strategically utilizing debt to acquire income-producing assets, you lay the groundwork for a bright financial future. Remember that financial success is not achieved overnight but through consistent effort, informed decision-making, and a commitment to long-term wealth building.

The Client a $1.4 Billion Advisor Won’t Take with Jonathan Steele

What if the way you think about money today traces back to something that happened when you were twelve or thirteen? On this episode of Wealth B-Hers, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Jonathan Steele, founder and chief investment officer of One Wealth Advisors, a firm managing $1.4 billion for roughly 400 families. Jonathan traces his money story back to eighth grade, watching his mom pay off a department store credit card the second they got home, and then walks through his own winding path from a restaurant kitchen to cold calling at Bear Stearns to building an independent firm with his brother.

ICYMI: Creating Social Impact Through Real Estate Investing with Felecia Froe

Dr. Felecia Froe made her first real estate investment years before she even knew she was an investor. She was five years into her medical practice when it hit her that this wasn’t the last thing she’d ever do. In this ICYMI crossover from Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, she tells host Jonathan Greene how an office building she bought with fellow women physicians turned out to be that first deal, though she didn’t realize it until years later. From there she built fast, lost hard in 2008, and rebuilt into Money With Mission, a community that helps professional women use real estate as a financial escape hatch from bad jobs and bad relationships.

Foundations #11: The Cost of Waiting

There’s a kind of waiting that doesn’t feel like waiting. You know exactly what you need to do. You’ve meant to do it for longer than you’d like to admit. You keep finding a reason why right now isn’t quite the right time, and you tell yourself that’s responsible, that’s thoughtful, that’s just good timing. In episode 11 of the Wealth B-Hers Foundations series, Dr. Felecia Froe is done letting that story stand. She breaks down exactly what waiting costs, the compound growth that quietly disappears, the confidence that erodes one avoided month at a time, the low hum of 2am anxiety that never fully goes away. She shares her own experience starting over in the middle of real loss after 2008, and she lands on something most financial advice never says out loud: the perfect moment to begin is never coming, for anyone.
