| 0:05.7 | Because if you think it's expensive now, wait five years or 10 years from now. |
| 0:10.7 | We all say with real estate, we're going to wait until the bottom drops. Well, the bottom has dropped, |
| 0:15.5 | what, three times in the last 50 years? In the grand scheme of things, right? You had the savings |
| 0:19.8 | a loan crisis, you had the |
| 0:21.0 | financial crisis. And then other than that, real estate's going up, you know, double digits over |
