Financial Planner Josh Scandlen Founder Heritage Wealth Planning Show 077
Josh Scandlen is a Financial Planner and founder of Heritage Wealth Planning a comprehensive financial planning firm located in Georgia. In March of 2018, Josh left USAA after working there for 10 years then worked for a few smaller companies and early this year left being a w-2 employee to start his own financial planning firm and has a successful youtube channel helping people with tax planning, retirement planning, estate planning, and everything finance. He started his financial services career at Vanguard in the late 90's.
Although Josh does not manage money any money he still registered as an investment advisor which is an extra cost and can to some be a regulatory hurdle that others would not want to go through.
With four kids and his wife at home, how was he going to pay the bills to find the extra money while building up his business? In starting a business you must have money to start up a business and he used a distribution in his 401(k) and paid the 10% penalty.
Has always engaged with the public with doing seminars and tried to demystify the financial planning, estate planning experience. He had an epiphany why do seminars in front of 15 locally when he can do youtube videos in front of potentially thousands and now gets a lot of clients directly from doing his youtube channel.
Josh says the top three things the people, couples make is not understanding the tax code. He says that investment management is not financial planning. If married filing jointly just don't plan for today but think about the tax bomb in your retirement plan. He says you will not always be married filing jointly. You must think about Medicare premiums tax on social security vs did I beat the market?
Not having a durable power of attorney it survives incapacity so a big qualified plan your individual plan and spouse no right to it so if your spouse needs access court order vs durability of power of attorney.
Don't focus so much on active investment management use Jack Bogle Vanguard philosophy.
Josh recommends a financial planning tool called Maximize My Social Security founder Laurence Kotlikoff Professor of Economics, Boston University and President of Economic Security Planning, Inc. This resource only costs individuals or families $40 bucks per year.
Trump's executive order on Required Minimum Distributions for all retirement assets. Increase tables for RMD's at 70 1/2 you are forced to take out an amount divided by 27.4. Maybe what should be done is a redo of these tables so instead push them back to 75 as people are living longer and maybe increase what you divide. Deferring taxes is not eliminating taxes so at some point someone is going to pay it merely kicking the can down the road.
Josh has written several books that you should check out:

Sydney Australia Fintech Startup Hashching Online Proptech Home Loan Marketplace Mandeep Sodhi Show 070
Mandeep Sodhi is the founder and CEO of Sydney Australia Fintech Startup Hashching Online Proptech Home Loan Marketplace.
We talk with Mandeep about how he came up with this practical idea based on a pain point he personally felt in his own personal life and how he has been able to execute on that idea over the last three years.
Check out Hashchings equity crowdfunding going on until June 15, 2018, via https://equitise.com/hashching
The company has built a network of over 600 independent mortgage brokers to pre negotiating special rates with over 60 individual lenders to the back office technology that makes it all work.
We speak to Mandeep about how he built his team which provides excellent support and service!
Mandeep was named one of the coolest 100 people in Australian tech back in 2016 emerging star list in the annual Fintech list by Business Insider AU
In August 2014, he decided to buy his first home. As a loyal bank employee, he reached out for the staff discount. At the time, he would boast to his friends about the special discounts he was entitled to as an employee of the bank. A few days later he found out from his friend that they had secured a better rate from the bank that Mandeep worked for. He asked himself the question how come his friend got a better rate? The bank simply replied, ‘Because your friend used a mortgage broker.’ Their answer made me even more frustrated, so I started to look at the mortgage broker model in greater detail.
From his research, he could see how much value mortgage advisers were providing their customers. Not only were they saving customers more time by taking away the hassle of completing documentation etc. brokers were securing better rates.
launch: August 2015
what: online marketplace connecting borrowers to local mortgage brokers.
Describe: a pure Fintech play
- like: operating an Uber style model where consumers are connected to a mortgage broker who comes direct to their home.
- online mortgage marketplace that shows and compares deals posted by mortgage brokers, rather than the lending institutions themselves. The current pool represents more than
What: Australia's first online marketplace allowing consumers to access home loan deals without having to shop around.
Former banker Sodhi found they had home loans from the same bank but each got a different deal.
Hashching provides a more consumer-friendly and more efficient
mortgage broking market. Their goal is to eliminate friction faced by so many customers that deal with the home loan settlement process
Haschings value proposition: bypass the big banks get a better home loan deal
Distribution Network - how do you sign up 60 lenders, including the big four banks. And over 600 brokers Fairly labor intensive
Model Bank lender officers vs brokers
Backed by VC firms H2 Ventures (January 2015 ), Picus Capital, and Sapien Ventures,
Raising money: The company scored $1 million in funding from Sapien Ventures (Victor Jiang)
Pivot - You joined H2 Ventures in January 2015,
initially, you were going to work with the banks.
- We approached four of the banks who basically said;
We are happy to work with you guys, but our advisers are only available from Monday to Friday during operating hours only. We do not call clients on Saturday and Sunday or nights.
Consumers need the convenience of a broker coming to their house on the weekend. So, we quickly pivoted the model to service mortgage brokers. More than 50 percent of loans are written by mortgage brokers so we had a huge market to target.
Technology Talk
Hasching tools?
Dashboard
Chat
Keeping track of deals
Signing up brokers and consumers on-site proprietary v outside vendors
Paperwork
Team:
hire software developers, product developers, a data scientist and sales and marketing staff
Regulators: educating regulators on what you are doing?
Partnerships:
CGU Insurance - customers who settle on hashching get 25% off their home insurance premium from HashChing if when purchase a CGU policy.
home insurance - which is a compulsory part of the property purchase process. Once for a new 12-month CGU Insurance policy, the settlement must occur within three months of the insurance purchase, customers get an email with a link to buy a CGU policy after their loan is approved Titlexchange partnership -
Legal paperwork - digital conveyancing. - now offering the services of electronic conveyancing marketplace Titlexchange, with the pilot limited to Victoria for now before a general rollout later, the bottleneck in the traditional home purchase process.
Issue: Borrowers are at the mercy of conveyancers, who can sometimes drag the process out unnecessarily and worse – charge more for their own delay.
How does integration into the Hashching platform work
allows users to access fixed-price conveyancing through Titlexchange without having to go offline to provide ID and personal data.

The importance of being trustworthy to establish critical relationships, having the right team with a winning attitude. Importance of picking the right people with different experiences, hire people that I not like you. Next step is the ability to scale the business with the right people. You must raise your hand and say here I am I can do it.
We go deep into several critical stories that helped shaped Kelly in life:
Growing up and her parents influence.
How a bank teller a personal banker changed her life. How one person can make a difference. Great work ethic paid off the debt and do that for others. Building self-confidence. Applied to a bank with no experience, banking can be taught bring to leadership born within four months promoted then emerged in ran branches, finished college nothing I can't do and mentors others about that.
