As we recorded this call, we had not held the election. When this show is released we might still not know the winner. Although if it’s close I predict the media will declare Biden the winner and portray Trump as a sore loser if he files a lawsuit contesting the results. This prediction is pretty obvious don’t you think? We shall see. But at any rate, eventually we will have a President. Today we are going to talk about how much it matters to real estate investors who that person is. Spoiler Alert: it doesn’t.
We are about to have a visit with Mr. Gordon Catts, 50 year real estate investor, former realtor, appraiser, lender, apartment syndicator, trainer, and many other things. He says his kids just call him a “real estater.” We are fortunate to have him join us today on a bit of short notice. That’s coming up in just a few minutes.
