The Jon Sanchez Show

Buying a home is exciting. You start looking at pictures online... You visit open houses... You imagine where the furniture will go... But before you fall in love with a house... There are some very important financial questions you should ask yourself. Today, Cory Edge of Edge Realty, Dwight Millard of On Q Home Loands and I are going to walk you through those questions—because buying the right h...

When I ask someone... "What does your IRA own?" The answer is almost always... "Mutual funds." "Stocks." "Maybe a few ETFs." And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But today... I want to expand your thinking. Because for the right investor... A properly structured Self-Directed IRA may allow investments that many people never knew were possible. Now... Just because you CAN... Doesn't mean...

We're surrounded by financial advice. Some of it is excellent. Some of it...well...not so much. Unfortunately, believing the wrong financial advice can cost you thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—of dollars over your lifetime. Today we're going to separate financial fact from financial fiction by discussing ten myths I hear all the time.

Buying a home is exciting. But excitement can sometimes cause us to overlook important financial decisions. Today, we're slowing the process down and asking ten simple—but incredibly important—questions every homebuyer should answer before signing on the dotted line. Whether you're buying your first home, your forever home, or your retirement home, these questions could save you thousands of dolla...

One of the biggest misconceptions in estate planning is this... "I have a trust...so I'm done." The truth is... Creating your trust is just the beginning. Over the years... Families change. Assets change. Laws change. Life changes. Today we're going to discuss the ten most common mistakes I see when reviewing existing trusts—and why having a trust doesn't necessarily mean your estate plan is up to...

Most of us schedule annual physicals. We take our cars in for service. We review our investment portfolios. But what about our homes? For most families... Their home is their single largest asset. Yet many homeowners haven't reviewed it in years. Today we're going to conduct a Mid-Year Homeowner's Financial Checkup to make sure your largest investment is still working for you—not against you.

For most people... Retirement isn't simply a financial decision. It's one of life's biggest emotional decisions. For decades... You've had a routine. A purpose. Co-workers. A paycheck. An identity. Then one day... It all changes. Today I want to ask a different question. Not... "Can you afford to retire?" But... "Are you truly ready to retire?" Because retirement isn't just about having enough mon...

Every one of us has looked back at some point and thought... "I wish I would have..." I wish I had started investing sooner. I wish I had bought that rental property. I wish I had paid off that debt. I wish I had created a trust. The good news? Today is the day your future self is looking back on. The financial decisions you make this year may determine how you live ten years from now. Let's build...

For many parents... One of life's greatest joys is watching their children buy their first home. But today's housing market is very different from the one many of us experienced. Higher home prices. Higher down payments. Higher closing costs. It's causing many parents to ask an important question... Should we help our children buy their first home? The answer may be yes... But how you help may be...

When people create a trust... They usually spend most of their time talking about... Their house. Their investments. Their beneficiaries. But today... I want to talk about something I believe is just as important. The person who will carry out your wishes. Your Trustee. Choosing the wrong trustee can create confusion... Family conflict... Delays... And unnecessary stress. Choosing the right truste...

For most families...Their home represents far more than four walls and a roof.  It's where children were raised. Where birthdays were celebrated. Where holidays were spent. It's often the largest financial asset a family owns. But today I want to ask a question that very few homeowners have ever considered.  What happens to your home if it goes to probate? Who takes care of it? Who pays the mortga...

For most Americans... If they stop working... The paycheck stops too. But financially successful people often think differently. They ask one simple question... "How can I make money while I sleep?" That's the idea behind passive income. Now let's be honest... Very little income is completely passive in the beginning. Most passive income requires work. Planning. Investment. Patience. But over time...

People often ask me... "Jon, what's the secret to becoming financially successful?" After more than 35 years helping families build, protect, and transfer wealth... I've learned there isn't one secret. There are dozens of small decisions that, over time, produce extraordinary results. Most millionaires don't become wealthy because they made one brilliant investment. They become wealthy because the...

For many Americans, a rental property represents years—even decades—of hard work. Maybe you purchased it as your first investment. Maybe you've watched it steadily appreciate over time. Then one day... Your tenant moves out. Or passes away. And suddenly you're asking yourself... Should I sell? Should I keep it? Should I exchange it? Today we're going to walk through exactly how to make that decisi...

Life can change in an instant. A distracted driver. A sudden illness. A phone call no family ever wants to receive. None of us likes to think about those possibilities. But avoiding the conversation doesn't eliminate the risk. Today, I don't want to talk about legal documents. I want to ask you a series of simple questions. Two words... What if? Because sometimes the most important financial and l...

For generations, real estate has been one of the most powerful tools for building wealth. Rental properties can generate monthly income, provide tax advantages, build equity, and potentially appreciate over time. But not every property makes a good investment. The difference between a successful rental and a financial headache often comes down to what you know before you buy. Today we're discussin...
