Hey, everyone. Welcome to Big Fat Real Estate Checks. We've taken a little pause on recording some podcasts, and we're starting up again. Yay! For 2025. I'm joined today not by Gabriel Aereish or Francesco Galluccio, but with Brett Burris.

The man, the myth, the legend, spent many years as a wholesaler, decided that he want recurring income, and that's what he's doing and is really excelling in a lot of different

avenues, including what's really monetizeable, monetizable. It's a long word. It's like gymnasium,

lots of syllables. And how to make money in the need that is now. Real estate is very cyclical.

There are ups and downs. Money is cheap.

Money is expensive. The market's up. The market's down. Bullish market, bear market, flat market,

sideways market, all sorts of different ways of monetizing based on what the market's doing.

However, people that are motivated will be motivated in any market. And the question really is how to hone in on those motivated humans,

remove the non-motivated humans, and really focus your time,

if this is the business that you want to be in, on those that are motivated,

not wasting your time on non-motivated people.

And the more volume you have, the more you have to really sift and sort quickly,

who's motivated and who's not.

And of course, the objective of this podcast is to show you that you don't need money to make

money.

You need skills.

You need the tools of the wealthy in order to do so.

And our goal, our focus, our drive, our raison d'etre, our ikigai is really to help you,

help others and really understand what it takes to become a successful investor, successful human,

and really understand that we have to come from a place of service.

So if this is a series that you like, please share us, love us, comment, whatever's necessary.

And we're very pleased that you're here listening to us on your time.
