"We make money in the good times and we make money in the bad times. Actually, it's a better time to buy property when it's really bad, but we don't stop buying property."

 


Worried that 7% interest rates have killed real estate investing? Mike Harrison destroys that myth in the first half of this episode, then shifts into something equally important - the 13 lifestyle aspirations that separate wealth builders from dreamers.


 


Mike answers a listener's question about how higher interest rates affect the Lifestyles Unlimited property buying program. His answer? They don't. He breaks down why 6-7% rates are historically normal, shares financial expert Howard Marks' prediction that these rates are here to stay, and explains the three-factor analysis that determines if any property will cash flow.


 


But the real gold comes in the second half where Mike shares 13 powerful aspirations for lifestyle transformation - from thinking like a millionaire to eliminating toxic relationships. These aren't just feel-good tips; they're the mindset shifts that enabled him to buy 11 properties generating $50,000 in annual cash flow while working a demanding corporate job with three kids in sports.
