Ep26: Title Insurance, Bank Failures, and Default Management: You Need to Be Prepared. Interview with Randy Fernando of Property IQ National Settlement Services
Mar 30, 202300:45:40Tap to summarizeWith credit card debt exploding, interest rates rising and banks failing, you may not think that title insurance and national settlement services are a big concern to consumers and lenders. Just the opposite is true. In many instances knowing what kind of title insurance to obtain, when to file a title claim and how to use title companies to protect both lenders and borrowers subject to a lawsuit, can be a game changer that will save your “legal hide." For Lenders, GSEs, and investors who are now sitting on toxic loan portfolios that have been in forbearance or workout status for years, the day of reckoning may be coming. Just as free and easy money masked a multitude of problems for Banks that invested poorly in T- Bills and T-Notes, so may the “other shoe drop,” as Lenders sitting on non-performing commercial and residential RE loans, as well as Lenders and GSE’s holding unsecured PPP and EIDL loans, may have to face the music that the assets are not worth nearly what they are booked for on the balance sheet. Join Spencer as he interviews Randy Fernando of Property IQ National Settlement Services as they discuss these issues, how you can protect and prepare, and whether the recent failures of SVB, Signature Bank and the fire sale of Credit Suisse, are just the tip of the iceberg.

Dec 9, 202200:51:06Tap to summarizeThe fall of Crypto King FTX may be the beginning of the end of rampant speculation in cryptocurrencies. What was originally thought to be a way out of government regulation and oversight may turn out to be the catalyst for the most intrusive and far-ranging government regulation of your finances and personal information in the history of this planet. Make no mistake: Block chain and distributive ledger technology is here to stay. It is the next wave of accounting and information storage and exchange. However, the marquee names for crypto currencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether may just have been the latest Ponzi Scheme or Tulip Mania, and may give way to sovereign controls, as governments across the planet supplant or take control of crypto currencies like Bitcoin in the name of regulation or consumer safety. Listen to the re-release of my interview with Dr. Philippa Malmgren, economist, entrepreneur and former Presidential Advisor as we discuss these topics. Pippa is wonderfully insightfully and will give you a likely view into the future of crypto, NFTs and more so you can determine whether the rust to crypto craze is the latest Ponzi scheme or the beginning of a Brave new World, and………. Who will be the winners and losers in the Crypto World? In our Legal Segment: SLG will examine the latest news on the FTX bankruptcy, a test run for the U.S. Digital Dollar and new regulations governing discharge of student loan debt in bankruptcy.

Nov 9, 202200:53:30Tap to summarizeIn our Legal Segment: “Red Alert”, as the CA 5th District Court of appeals makes charging default interest in CA a risky proposition. Learn why. Then take a few minutes to examine the state of the retail, industrial and residential rental markets in California. In our interview segment: Buy an Electric Vehicle or Gas Powered Vehicle? Are cataclysmic weather events increasing or decreasing in the U.S How Long Until Global Warming Can’t be Fixed? Climate Crises or Climate Hoax? The average person in the U.S and most scientists view increasing natural disasters like hurricanes, tsunamis, coastal flooding and other natural disasters as evidence that man’s impact on the environment has accelerated global warming and climate change that threaten the existence of the planet. However, other reputable scientists and climatologists have argued that the greatest impact on the environment/climate comes from natural phenomenon i.e. the 500 hundred year drought in the S. W. U.S etc. and that man’s impact on global warming and climate change is not nearly as impacting as generally supposed. One side argues that we must push immediately for green tech no matter what the cost to save the planet and to usher in better tech. The other side urges more gradual transition to “green tech” using fossil fuels and nuclear energy responsibly to avoid the imposition of unproven and economically disruptive agendas and to responsibly transition to ”green” Join Spencer as he interviews Greg Whitestone a noted geologist, best-selling author and a member of the CO2 Coalition to find discuss these issues and other related questions. Whether you agree with Greg or not, you will want to hear what he has to say.

Oct 5, 202200:28:10Tap to summarizeThis country and the world have recently emerged from one of the greatest socio-economic calamities since WWII. The pandemic, lockdowns and the resultant economic and political repercussions have accelerated social change on a magnitude that usually takes decades to occur. Issues that have pushed their way to the forefront are: Government’s need to act for the benefit of all versus the need to protect individual liberties The economy, inflation and, gas prices and whether the time for Green technologies is now, or whether it should be phased in over time The rights of parents to direct their children’s education vs the rights of public schools to impose social and sexual agendas The rights to abortion or to limit it Gun Control and Gun Rights Religious liberty All these and more have been pushed front and center, seemingly all at once. People are passionately and in some cases bitterly divided on these issues. Many question whether this nation can go on being as divided as it is on core existential issues, while millions flee to states where they believe their way of life is being protected or preserved from social and governmental intrusion. The 2022 Midterm Elections provide a first chance for this Country to take its own temperature and to find out if there is consensus and if there are any issues can unify this nation, or if we are headed down the path of division and disunity. In this final Episode of this Three part series on the 2022 Mid-Term Elections, join Spencer and his faithful “Wing Woman” Marti as they go across the nation to ask America one question: Tell Every Politician in the Country What is the biggest issue of concern to you and why? You may be surprised at what Americans have to say.

Jun 2, 202200:44:17Tap to summarizeIt was not that long ago that economists were touting the V-Shape Recovery. However, there is increasing evidence that a recession is in view and that it may have already begun, and that the Fed may be fighting the wrong battle by furiously raising rates now, and may have to switch back to easing to avoid a worsening recession. In our Legal Segment, Spencer cites mounting evidence that a recession may have already started. Perhaps there will be a V Shaped recovery after all. However, if the storm clouds portend rain, then now is the time to prepare.
