KEY QUOTES:
[8:08] The benefit of real estate is that if you maintain strict controls going in and if you know what you’re doing, you have a base level of education, I think you can control the risk pretty well. There’s a probability to weigh your outcomes in real estate in a way that you can’t with stocks. So, you can actually control the returns.
[31:08] You get the most benefit in real estate if you hold it for the long-term. If you pick the right location, pick a good asset, add some value into it, and cash flow the asset. The tax benefits and inflation over time really outweigh the benefits of selling it.
[36:54] Trust the Process. Trust that you’re on the path to something and do the best with what you’re doing and the right thing will come for you.
47:17 Don’t ever let fear dictate your decisions. Let the potential be opportunities. The rich never ask if they can afford something, instead, they say how can I afford it.
