The President get rich education welcome welcome to get rich education i'm Weinhold. Yes, you are back where you belong. |
| 0:40.0 | You are in that abundant place where financially free beats debt-free. Well, today we're talking |
| 0:47.1 | about freedom and free markets as we discuss rent control and some real estate investing |
| 0:53.3 | problems today. Now, you as a real estate investor |
| 0:57.4 | generally operate in a free market. You more or less pay market value for a property when you |

| 2:09.7 | hole in the window and the shattered glass over the bread and pies of the bakery. |
| 2:16.8 | After a while, the crowd feels the need for some philosophic |
| 2:20.2 | reflection, and several crowd members are almost certain to remind each other or even remind |
| 2:25.3 | the baker that just had the loss, that you know what? After all, this misfortune does have its |
