I Have a ‘6th Sense’ for Investing
JUST LIKE MY DOGS!
If you have pets, you’ve probably noticed they hate going to the vet. I know my dogs do. They can’t stand getting haircuts or being boarded, either! The worst thing is that they always seem to know when a trip will end at the vet or the groomer. Even if I grab all of the same leashes and treats I would for a drive to the lake or a trail, Blu and Bos have a sixth sense. It tips them off that the trip is bad news. They just know , and they’ll do whatever it takes to stay in the house. It’s a whole ordeal. Gina and I have to pick them up and drag them to the car. Then when we get there, we need to leash them up, pull them out, and carry them into the vet while they’re scared to death. They just want out of there! Case in point: A few weeks ago, Gina took the dogs to the vet for a checkup. It was raining buckets outside, and when she parked, she was already grumpy. She lifted Bosworth out of the car first and set him down on the ground. Then it was Blu’s turn. Well, the moment his paws hit the pavement he took off running!
was going off like crazy, telling him, “Run! Run! Run!”
Blu and Bos didn’t have that sixth sense when
they were puppies. It’s something they
learned over many vet and groomer visits. I’ve developed a sixth sense of my own in the same way — through experience. After 30 years investing
in multifamily real estate I can take a look at a property and, within five minutes, hear my instinct screaming, “Buy! Buy! Buy!” or “Run! Run! Run!”
Of course, I do my due diligence and crunch the numbers (especially when other investors like you are involved), but my sixth sense is right 99% of the time. I’ve done enough, seen enough, and been exposed to enough good and bad deals that I just know . Yesterday, for example, a new apartment property came across my desk. I didn’t inspect it, do a walk-through, or look at the taxes. But my sixth sense was yelling, “Buy!” so I sent a letter of intent to purchase it this morning. I know it will be a good asset for me, my company, and my team. It takes a long time to get that “sixth sense,” but I’ll lend mine to you for free! Spread the word to the other investors you know: Heartland Investment Partners is the place to go for sound, savvy investment advice based on instinct AND research.
He scrammed right across the highway in the pouring rain. Thank God there wasn’t much traffic, so he didn’t get hit by a car! Blu ran up to a lady in the parking lot across the street. Fortunately, she saw Gina sprinting across the highway (after she put Bos back in the car, of course) and managed to nab him for her. From what I heard afterward, getting that wily dog back across the highway wasn’t easy: His sixth sense
After 30 years investing in multifamily real estate, I can take a look at a property and, within five minutes, hear my instinct screaming, ‘Buy! Buy! Buy!’ or ‘Run! Run! Run!’
My dogs agree!

of your login information secure. But not all managers are alike. The most secure options are cloud-based managers, which allow access from any location, and those that require two-factor authentication, which may use a fingerprint or a code sent to the phone number on file. There are many password managers to choose from, so start by doing your own research. Wired recommends 1Password for those just starting out! TALK TO YOUR ATTORNEY. If you opt out of using a password manager, an estate planning attorney can incorporate your digital logins into an estate plan. This will keep your data secure and accessible by those who need it after you pass. And even if you do utilize a password manager, it’s wise to notify your estate planning attorney. They will become your family’s go-to resource for guidance after you pass. As with any action you take regarding your estate plan, consult with a professional you trust before making a decision.
But what happens to this data after you pass? Will your family know how to access it and therefore log in to your most valuable accounts? How can you make sure the right people have access to your passwords and digital data without making yourself vulnerable? And is this necessary? Find out below! CREATE A DIGITAL LOG. You must keep a record of all your digital profiles and login information for your loved ones before you pass. You’ll help your family avoid having to jump through hoops with various companies just to retrieve your data after you’re gone. Anything from the cable company to your bank login needs to be recorded. Then, be sure to tell your family this information exists and how to find it. USE A PASSWORD MANAGER. Because passwords are necessary, companies have created password managers to keep all
When creating an estate plan, there are many assets to consider. Most people think about their homes, retirement accounts, and heirlooms, but one vital thing is often overlooked: their digital lives. Today, we manage so much of our personal lives through digital accounts, and a username and password combination safeguards our activities and keeps our data secure. Two-factor
RETURN ON INVESTMENT: 4,148,000! What’s Happening in the Heartland?
I checked Amazon this morning and discovered that one of my books, “Paranoid Banker Investment Secrets” is a whopping No. 4,148,000 on the Amazon bestseller list. Obviously, that means there are over 4 million books selling better than mine! Funnily enough, one of my other books, “The 9 Month Investment for Passive Investors” is ranked No. 3,560,354 — almost 600,000 ahead of the “Paranoid Banker” book. Then there is “Renter Nation.” This book is ranked at a whopping No. 2,148,622. The way I like to look at it, twice as many people like this book as “Paranoid Banker Investment Secrets.” But still … even “Renter Nation” isn’t close to being a bestseller in any regard!
if Tom Brady is going to decide to keep playing football. Which is just fine with me. Sure, being No. 4 million-something would be a black mark on some people’s
“resumes.” But as far as my investors (and I) are concerned, I’m better off spending my time focusing on them than fighting for that No. 1 spot!
Many people in my position would be sad about this, but the ranking of my books doesn’t get me down. Actually, I’m happy about it. Why?
By the way, if you haven’t read any of my books, you really should. They are worth the read, and as a newsletter reader, you can download them for free at these links:
Well, because I’m not in the business of writing books! I’m in the business of real estate ownership and investing in real estate-related projects alongside my partners. THAT is what’s important. Having a constant focus like that has its upsides and downsides. I can tell you how likely it is that the 100-plus unit apartment property my partners and I are about to purchase turns out to be a fantastic investment for their regular or IRA money, BUT … I can’t tell you who won the latest NBA playoff game, or

This month, my wife, Gina, and I are celebrating our 33rd wedding anniversary. Can you believe it? We’ve been married 33 years, but if you count the period we spent dating, we’re at almost 40 years together. I’m already looking forward to our anniversary tradition: spending time at our lake house talking, connecting, and being mindful of everything we’ve gone through.

Now, this big marriage celebration got me thinking: How common are long- lasting marriages like ours here in Iowa?
It turns out we’re not the exception to the rule! NewsNation reports that out of all of the states, Iowa has the second-highest “Marriage Score!” Only South Dakota beats us out, and that’s because they have more weddings per capita and slightly fewer divorces. Pfft. The average Iowa marriage lasts a whopping 21.5 years. That’s pretty dang impressive. Gina and I beat the average, but we don’t have the record. Last fall, the Times-Republican crowned Richard and Rosalene Heil “Iowa’s longest- married couple.” They’ve been married more than 73 years! In a world full of rising divorce rates, maybe the Hawkeye State can give newlyweds a little hope. So, what’s our big secret? Richard told the Times-Republican that he and Rosalene made a commitment to stay married no matter what and that changed the way they thought about life.

“We learned to make decisions together, not by ourselves … and how to give and take,” he said.
I think he’s onto something. A successful marriage is all about commitment, respect, communication, and supporting each other — even in your hobbies. Like I said back on Valentine’s Day, when I want to spend a whole day filling up my cart with random crap at Bass Pro Shops, Gina will block off a day and do it with me just because I think it’s fun. That’s love right there! So, here’s my advice: Get yourself to a Bass Pro Shop with your sweetheart. You just might find the secret to a long-lasting, Iowa-style marriage right there with the fishing, hunting, and boating gear.

Did “Atomic Habits” by James Clear change your life in 2018? Was “Tiny Habits” by BJ Fogg one of your top books of 2019? If you’ve read those two bestsellers, you’re a step ahead of most entrepreneurs. But you might still be sleeping on one of the original

It takes multiple keys to unlock each habit. For example, to demonstrate courage, Burchard says you must “share your truth and your ambitions” by telling someone about your goals every day. But that alone isn’t enough. To truly form the habit, you also need to reframe struggle and zero in on someone worth fighting for — whether that’s your team, your clients, or your children. “High Performance Habits” is a business book, but it’s also a personal development book. It will force you to dive deep into your strengths, weaknesses, and motivations to unlock your real high-performance potential. You can use it to fit more tasks into a day, increase your confidence, or become a better leader — whatever your business needs! Pick up a copy today to see why Andrew Burns of Medium calls this “the epitome of a book that needs more than one read.”
In “High Performance Habits,” Burchard recommends six specific habits that will help you reach your personal and business goals. He calls this the HP6 model.
