This is Terio Media. Hey, strap in. It's time for the epic real estate investing show. We'll be your guides as we navigate the housing market, the landscape of creative financing strategies, and everything you need to swap that office chair for a beach chair. If you're looking for some one-on-one help, meet us at rei-aise.com. Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go.

Let's go. Everyone that I know is forecasting a meaningful increase in inflation in coming months from tariffs because someone has to pay for the tariffs. That was Jerome Powell this week, literally telling you that your prices are about to go up and there's nothing he's going to do to stop it. But what he said next reveals the secret plan to raid your savings. And if you don't understand how they're doing it, your financial future is about to get crushed. Stay with me. This gets darker than you think. We expect a meaningful amount of inflation to arrive in coming months.

And we have to take that into account. Decided to leave our policy interest rate unchanged. You heard it correctly. No rate cuts again. But did you catch what Powell actually admitted? He just confessed to something that should terrify every American. The Fed held rates at 4.25 to 4.5% for the fourth straight meeting. But here's the thing.

Their own projections show 1.4% economic growth. with 3% inflation. That's stagflation, the economic nightmare that destroyed the 1970s. Powell's exact words, We expect a meaningful matter of inflation to arrive in coming months. Translation,

they know your money is about to lose value, and they're choosing to let it happen. This is the secret plan to raid your savings. They're going to let inflation eat away at your purchasing power while keeping your savings account earning practically nothing. But why would they deliberately choose stagflation? The answer is more calculated than you think. I mean, here's what some economists think. Stagflation isn't a mistake. It's a feature. It keeps the system stable while regular people pay the price. Stagflation is when you have

slow growth plus high inflation, which means your money loses value while opportunities disappear. The Fed's own dot plot shows they've cut their rate cut projections from four to just two for 2025. Why? Because higher rates prop up government bonds and the dollar while crushing your purchasing power. Powell admitted no one holds these rate paths with a great deal of conviction. They're literally winging it with your future. The real strategy? Keep rates high enough to prevent a currency crisis, even if it destroys middle-class wealth. But here's the part that should make you furious. They've done this before, and the evidence is hiding in plain sight.

Maybe you remember the 1994 bond crisis that economists still call a massacre. Bonds lost 2.9 percent, and it nearly broke the system. Want to know what's happening right now? Treasury bonds have lost 46 percent since March 2020. That's 16 times worse than the 94 massacre. 30-year bonds are down 53%, the worst performance in 250 years of recorded history. Corporate profit warnings hit 62 in Q1 2025. That's 18% of companies warning about the future.

But here's the insane part. The Fed is acting like this is totally normal. Powell's response to the bond crisis? And we have to take that into account. That's it. But if you think the bond massacre is bad, wait until you see what's happening to your everyday expenses. Here, let me show you exactly how the Fed's decisions flow straight from their boardroom into your bank account. And it's not pretty. The housing market is a longer run problem and also a

short run problem. I don't think it's indicative of, you know, basically the situation is we have a longer run shortage of housing and we also have high rates right now. That's Powell acknowledging they're deliberately keeping rates high despite knowing it hurts housing. Your mortgage, if you're buying a house today, you're paying 7% while last year's buyers pay 3.5%. That's an extra $800 per month on a $400,000 mortgage, $800 more every single month for 30 years. That adds up to $288,000 more over the life of the loan. That's almost enough to buy a second house just because of when you were born. The best thing we can do for the housing market is to restore price stability in a sustainable way and create a strong labor market. While keeping rates that prevent both, your credit cards are

now charging 20.78% the highest in history, while your savings earn 0.5%. Your business loans, small business rates have doubled, while big banks get bailout programs. Remember Silicon Valley Bank? $42 billion in withdrawals. Complete collapse, but every depositor got made whole. The Fed created the bank term funding program overnight. Unlimited bailouts for banks. Higher rates for you. But here's what really happened in that closed-door meeting

when they decided your fate. They needed a reason to keep rates high without looking like the bad guys. And then the perfect excuse landed right in their laps. Tariffs. Powell just gave away the game. with one sentence. He said tariffs will cause meaningful inflation, but that's not the real reason they won't cut rates. Doesn't the data you're seeing today indicate there should be a rate cut?

No, I mean, monetary policy has to be forward-looking. That is elementary. Everyone that I know is forecasting a meaningful increase in inflation in coming months from tariffs because someone has to pay for the tariffs. The Yale Budget Lab estimates 1.4% price increases from proposed tariffs. But here's the truth. They're using tariffs as cover for a deeper strategy. The real reason? They need to keep rates high until they can engineer a soft landing that protects institutional wealth. Fed officials now openly discuss a bit more stagflation, slow growth with high inflation. So if the insiders know this is coming, what are they doing to protect themselves? You see, while Powell talks about data dependence, the smartest money managers

I know are making three specific moves. Here's their exact playbook. Move number one, lock in fixed rate debt now. They know rates aren't coming down anytime soon. And here's something most people don't know. There are still ways to access capital at zero percent interest if you know where to look. I just helped someone get $150,000 with no collateral

and zero interest last month. The banks created these programs themselves, but they're not exactly advertising them. If your credit's decent, you should probably check that out at loophole lending.com before rates get worse. Move number two, own real assets that grow with inflation, like real estate, commodities, and cash-flowing businesses. Move number three, position for the next crisis, because the bond market massacre is just getting started. What you can do right now? Don't wait for the Fed to save you. Assume they'll protect the system first, use second.

Use any fixed rate debt strategically. Lock it in before they change their mind. Own assets that beat inflation. Your savings account paying 0.5% is guaranteed wealth destruction. Stay liquid and flexible. When the next shoe drops, you want to be ready to move. But there's one more thing that should keep you up at night. The Fed's strategy is controlled demolition.

Let pressure build until something snaps. Then they'll ride in as heroes with a lot. emergency rate cuts after your wealth is already destroyed. But you don't have to take my word for it. Yesterday, Powell said the quiet part out loud. Someone in that chain that I mentioned between the manufacturer, the exporter, the importer, the retailer, ultimately somebody putting it into a good of some kind or just a consumer buying it. And there it is. Straight from the Fed chair's mouth, you are going to pay. They know it. They could cut rates to help offset the pain, but their choosing not to. You just learned the real playbook while everyone else watches the headlines.

The question isn't whether this will happen, it's whether you'll be ready when it does. What breaks first? The bond market, the housing market, or something else entirely? Ever hear someone say, I have too much money? Me neither. Let's get you some more. Back to the show. What if I told you that the game, Kevin Spacey and Amber Heard all sold their properties at a big discount for the exact same reason? And it had nothing to do with being broke. They were panicked and panicked sells real estate faster and cheaper than liens or foreclosure ever could. Right now, in your city, there's a successful business owner who looks completely fine on the outside,

but is just three weeks away from selling his $500,000 house for $350,000 just to make his nightmare go. This is the panic market, a billion-dollar real estate sector that has nothing to do with liens, nothing to do with foreclosures, and everything to do with human emotional meltdowns. You'll know exactly how to find these deals before anyone else knows they exist. It's the secret market no one sees. You see, while every investor fights over the same foreclosure lists, there's an entire parallel market of sellers nobody knows about. These aren't broke people.

They're broken people. and broken people make desperate real estate decisions. Shannon and Phoenix bought a rental $150,000 undermarket from a panicked lawsuit defendant. Neil in Dallas made $180,000 profit in 45 days from a messy divorce. And Rahim in Miami closes three panic deals monthly using court records. Here's why this works. A broke person might take months to sell. A panicked person says yes in 24 hours.

Here, these celebrities, they prove the point. The game hit with the $7 million. lawsuit judgment, dumped his Calabasas mansion for $4 million, not broke, just panicked about legal consequences. Kevin Spacey sold his Baltimore mansion at auction for $3.24 million, way below his $5.65 million purchase price. Career panic, not financial panic. And Amber Hurd, after losing to Johnny Debt, quietly sold her California home weeks later, had $480,000 of profit, but needed that nightmare to end. The pattern? None were bankrupt. All were emmered. All were emulsed. emotionally destroyed. Panic trumps logic every time. Here are the five panic triggers that

create deals. The first one, fresh legal drama. You got new lawsuits, divorce filings, criminal charges. Fresh panic equals motivated sellers. The second one, business disasters, partnership blowups, public scandals, reputation destruction. Three, family chaos, sudden deaths, inheritance fights, domestic disputes. Four, health crisis, medical emergencies, mental health breakdowns, addiction issues. And five, financial terror. Not broke, but terrified of becoming broke. IRS audits, major tax bills, business investigations. So here's how to find panic before anyone else. You go mining the court records. Monday morning routine would look like searching new civil lawsuits over $100,000, fresh divorce filings, business disputes, cross-reference with property

records, or skip tracing 2.0. Use the new deal machine or epic prop stream, but focus on recent life changes, new addresses, phone numbers, business ownership changes, or that AI panic detection, platforms like Revaluate.A.I, flag stress patterns, sudden credit changes, legal appearances, behavioral shifts. And then there's always human intelligence, build relationships with divorce attorneys, business lawyers, CPAs. They see the panic first. So do you want the panic approach that works? Well, first, here's the wrong way. Hey, I heard you're getting divorced. I heard you're getting sued. Don't do that. The right way? I specialize in quick private safety. for people who need to sell without hassle.

And so that's essentially the panic seller script. Hey, Jack, I'm a local investor. I do quick private sales, seven to 14 day closes, all cash, complete discretion. Would that interest you? And here's why that works. You're solving their panic without mentioning their panic. What panic sellers actually want,

because it's not maximum price. No, they want speed. They want to close in days, not months. They want certainty, no financing contingencies. They want privacy. So no signs on. the property, no showings, no public exposure, and they want simplicity, minimal paperwork and hassle. Give them that, and they'll give you 15 to 30% discount, sometimes even more.

So here's the numbers that matter. Real investor results. Average discount is 15 to 30% below market. The time to close, 10 to 14 days. The success rate, 1 and 6 contacts. And the average profit, $50,000 to $300,000 per deal, and the monthly deal flow, 2 to 4 properties. But here are the fatal mistakes that kill these deals. First one is moving too slow. Panic doesn't wait. Second, being too nosy. Solve problems. Don't interrogate. Three, getting too greedy. 20% discount beats no deal at all. And four, ignoring emotions. These are humans in crisis. And the fifth one, poor timing. Respect their situation. And there are some legal and ethical rules to consider. These are non-negotiables. First, never exploit emotional states. Second, provide fair value for fair price. Three,

complete transparency about your intentions. Four, respect privacy, absolutely. Five, proper legal documentation. And the last one, avoid anyone mentally incompetent. You're solving problems, not creating them. And here's why this window is closing. You see, the current conditions that are creating more panic, economic uncertainty, increased litigation,

social media amplifying these crises, and generational wealth transfers. Because as more investors discover this, Competition increases. You got 12 to 18 months before this becomes mainstream. So here's a simple seven-day action plan. Day one, set up court record monitoring. Day two, create Google alerts for panic signals. Day three, join local Ria's as a quick close specialist. Day four, contact divorce attorneys for referrals. And day five, run first court record searches. Day six, make your first panic market call. And day seven, analyze the whole thing and refine. Your 24-hour challenge here.

is to find one recent lawsuit in your area. Look up property ownership and make that one call. One meaningful conversation a day keeps the W-2 away. And the bottom line here is the panic market exists parallel to traditional real estate. Most investors will never find it because they're looking for financial distress when the real money is in emotional distress. So you got two choices. One, you can keep fighting over foreclosure lists with everyone else. Or two, you can find panic sellers nobody else knows about. The secret market doesn't advertise itself. It exists in the shadows of human crisis, waiting for the right investor to provide the right solution. No liens, no foreclosure, just panic. And panic handled ethically is the most profitable emotion in real estate. The question

isn't whether these deals exist. They do. The question is whether you're ready to see what others can't. Hey, quick thing before you go, I'm running this weird experiment where I've been. basically pay people to do real estate deals for them. And then I split the profits with them 50-50. And yeah, I know it's probably the most ridiculous offer that I've ever made, but it's working like crazy. And if you're thinking there's a catch, you would be right. I can only work with two to three people per city. So if you're curious, check out to see if your market's still open or don't. It's not for everyone. I'll see you next time. Take care.
