| 0:00.0 | But you could actually buy something like that for three and a half to four and a half million dollars right now. |
| 0:05.0 | Damn, that's a lot cheaper than I would have thought. |
| 0:06.5 | It is just because they're older. |
| 0:08.0 | This lump sum of money. It's a big chunk. |
| 0:10.0 | We're talking multi, multi millions of dollars would be donated to the Democratic runner up president every single four years. |
| 0:17.0 | One way to get cheaper discounted charter flights, they call them empty legs. I mean, |
| 0:21.9 | you can get up to like 80% off. Damn, really. Welcome to the Rich Strummers Report where we |
| 0:29.2 | talk real estate, business, and wealth building all while keeping it real. No fluff, no BS. I hope that |
| 0:35.0 | you enjoy the show. |
| 0:46.5 | All right, guys, welcome to another episode of the report today. I got a good friend of mine in town, someone who's been on the podcast, not just once, but for the second time now, |
| 0:51.0 | and he specializes in the private jet game. He's a private jet captain himself, |
| 0:56.1 | a private jet broker and an aviation specialist. I got my good friend, Kurt, Marker, also known as |
| 1:02.1 | Captain Kurt. Welcome to the show, brother. Thanks for having me back, guys. Dude, it's been a little bit, |
| 1:05.9 | man, and I appreciate you hooking us up with the Tulum retreat. First time ever. First time ever I've ever been a part of the private jet game. But you hooked us up with a Gold Stream 4 for some of our members, some of our guest speakers, and round trip to Toulomb. So thank you for that, dude. You're welcome.

It's not typically the first flight most people get. So it looked like the whole crew. All your people are super stoked. And we quoted it with like five different people. And so you know, you were like 30% below all the rest. That's what I like. You know, my biggest thing is like client retention. My clients keep coming back because if you just give good people, you know, give them good deals. They'll just keep coming back. You don't have to just nail a client to try and make a big payday one time. You just won't be around. That's why I've been doing it for 15 years, you know? So tell me about the jet market right now. We know 100% bonus depreciation |
| 2:01.6 | came back earlier this year. You mentioned before we started recording, the jet market is heating |
| 2:06.3 | up. Talk about that. Yeah. Well, I knew, even as a real estate investor, like, hey, the tax bill, |
| 2:11.1 | if this comes back, where the private jet market was a little bit slow, people weren't |
| 2:15.8 | spending the money because the tax benefits weren't as high. |
| 2:18.7 | They were 60% last year. |
| 2:20.6 | This year was 40. |
| 2:21.6 | So now everybody's either upgrading jets or if they're thinking about been buying in the last year or two. |
| 2:27.2 | Now they're taking advantage of the tax Trump, Trump's tax bill, which is 100% bonus depreciation. |
