What's up, Action Academy, fan? I have a question for you. Imagine you just started out real estate

investing and you bought a house. The next year, you bought another house. Then the following year,

this deal. And he got to the closing table and finished the deal. Today's podcast episode is

all the highs, all the lows in the

entire bumpy ride along the way to the closing table of all of our dreams where you have

that one whale that you land from a piece of direct mail. Today's podcast answers the question,

what would happen if a $41.4 million deal landed in my lap where I had zero

experience managing anything that size before? You will learn today with my friend Rob Dubrock.

Guys, let's get to it. And as always, if you are loving this podcast, if you are loving this
