3:08.0	Can you kind of take us back to what made you get involved in real estate and then we'll talk about the moment you realized you weren't happy and what you did to change it.
3:18.0	Sure, sure. So I read a book when I was in ninth grade on how to buy real estate with no money down and I knew that I wanted to do real estate because I learned that there was unlimited income potential.
