| 0:32.9 | show. What terrified you the most and what would you tell people that are experiencing that same fear now? |
| 0:38.0 | The terror that I had was mostly the bank's not going to give me a loan. |
| 0:42.9 | You've done things in real estate that nobody else has. |
| 0:48.0 | Like you literally buck the trend, you didn't come up from blue blood, and you got started in real estate and came up the hard way. For a lot of people, that is their reality. They're just getting started. Their parents didn't give them a bunch of money. They didn't go to an Ivy League school. Like most of the people that I've met in real estate, they kind of have that pedigree. You came up the hard way. You came up from the ground up. You built it all on your own. |
| 1:11.8 | You used all your own money for the majority of your career. And then you started raising money, which is exactly what all the biggest institutions in the world do is they just use other people's money. So the OPM thing.

| 1:57.1 | that most people don't know. |
| 1:59.8 | Okay? |
| 2:00.3 | So I want to start by asking you a question that's, |
| 2:02.4 | that could be a little controversial. Whoa. Okay. Most people think that their primary home makes |
| 2:08.1 | them a real estate investor. Yeah. Yeah. Can you explain why a house is the single biggest |
| 2:14.0 | financial liability that the average American has and what the wealthy do instead? One, it is not an investment. Two, it does not belong on your financial statement. And three, you're probably not going to make any real money on it compared to other investments. Okay. Now, all that being said, I do own homes and I have made money on homes.
