Happy Friday Educators! If you haven’t seen this yet, take a moment: Deepfake Calls, Fake CAPTCHAs & AI Phishing EXPLAINED In 2026, scams are no longer simple frauds – they are AI‑driven, AI‑scaled and emotion‑engineered. Cybercriminals now use deepfake voices, ... What you’re seeing isn’t just content… it’s a wake-up call. Deepfakes, AI voice cloning, and scam-driven content are exploding right now—growing over 1,200% in just one year . What used to be easy to spot is now engineered to feel real, sound real, and look real. And that’s exactly how people are getting caught. These scams are built on urgency, emotion, and trust. Fake faces. Fake voices. Fake opportunities. But here’s the truth… Real always leaves a trail. At LEARNin Local LIVE, we’re not guessing what’s real—we’re showing it: Real Deals. Real People. In Real Time. You’re not watching edited clips or AI-generated narratives. You’re connecting directly with the people behind the deals, the conversations, and the decisions. That’s where transparency lives. That’s where trust is built. And that’s how deals actually get done smoothly. In a world where AI can fake almost anything, proximity to real people is your greatest protection. That’s why Real Estate Subject Market Educators matter more than ever. They don’t just talk about the market, they show up, share real insights, and stay accountable in real time. No filters. No shortcuts. No deepfakes. So the question is: Are you consuming content…or are you connecting with reality? If you’re serious about building trust, closing deals, and staying ahead in this new AI-driven world… This isn’t optional. This is where you need to be. LEARNin Local LIVE is where real wins. @Aaron Kruse @Adib Mahdi @Alley Perkins @Anastasiia Buiadzhy @Angel Garduno @Aris Anagnos @Arnold Shackelford @Baylea Ducote @Luis Barboza @Victor Bell @Carver Tripp @Casey Clayton @Christopher Astillero @Claudia Gramm @Colette Gallagher @Corie Aguinaldo @Crystal Hughes @Daryl Dean Santos @Dj Napolitan @Dylan Valenzuela @Harry Dennis @Michele Denys @Rafael Davis @Erica Traulsen @Pamela Edwards @Henry Flynn @Noemi Flores @Harrison Goldblatt @Patrick Gannon @Salvador Guzman @Hanjoo Kwak @Jon Hayes @Maria Ingle @Jean Anagnos @Jeninth S.

This Friday, we’re diving into a real conversation every investor thinks about, the “1% rule.” It’s a simple strategy that helped one investor build strong monthly cash flow, but today’s market is changing the game. What used to work doesn’t always work now. We’re breaking down how real investors are adapting, balancing cash flow, appreciation, and real-world expenses. Is the 1% rule still the move, or is it time to rethink the strategy? Here are some ideas on how we can approach this. Let’s talk about it live. 1. The 1% Rule: Filter or Foundation? - Is the 1% rule still relevant in today’s higher-priced markets? - Should investors adjust this benchmark by market (e.g., San Diego vs Midwest)? - When does it become a deal killer vs. deal indicator? 2. Cash Flow vs Appreciation Strategy - Should investors prioritize immediate cash flow or long-term equity growth? - How do you balance low cash flow markets with strong appreciation potential? - What’s your strategy in a “market reset” environment? 3. Beyond the Numbers: Real Profitability - How do expenses (rates, taxes, maintenance) reshape deals that “look good on paper”? - What metrics do you use beyond the 1% rule (cash-on-cash return, cap rate)? - How do lenders view cash-flowing properties when scaling portfolios? Let me know your thoughts @Ruben Austria @Nicole Turner @Rafael Davis @Chad Sliwa @Martin Magana @Stephanie Sundell @Tracie Hasse
