33
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 5: five Millionaires, somebody that we got introduced to a few

34
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 5: years ago, super super great backstory that we'll get to

35
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 5: just didn't invest fest forward. Thank you for doing that,

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 5: Appreciate it.

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: He has his own investment story. We'll get to that too.

38
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 5: So, uh, this is an interesting story for a few

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 5: different reasons. So he's a big time real estate investor

40
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 5: over three hundred and eighty units and he's actually in

41
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 5: the real estate development game. We'll talk about that. And

42
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 5: then he's an entrepreneur. He has a daycare centerce with

43
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 5: his wife. I believe he has a security company.

44
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: With his brother.

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 5: But he started out as a police officer. That's why

46
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 5: he was nine to five millionaire. So he was a

47
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 5: police officer for how many years? Man? Twenty years? Twenty

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 5: years in Chicago, right, yeah, in Chicago. What area did

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 5: in Chicago, it's called the Gresham.

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 3: District, So it's right by Inglewood. So just to give

51
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 3: you a little context, Chicago during the mid twenties, like

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 3: about twenty five to twenty ten led the country in homicides,

53
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,799
Speaker 3: and my district, the Gresham District, led the city of Chicago.

54
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: Oh that was that was like, so right by Inglewood. Yes,

55
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: it's right, it's border Inglewood. I was separated by like

56
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 3: one street, yeah, Homer Derek Rose exactly.

57
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:06,239
Speaker 2: Wow.

58
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: So yeah, so you was all right, so and this

59
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 5: is an interesting story because you started investing while you

60
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 5: were still on the force, right, that's correct, and then

61
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 5: you became a millionaire while you were still working. Yeah, yep,

62
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 5: all right.

63
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: So nobody had a clue, no.

64
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 6: Nobody why you know.

65
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 3: And that's the whole thing I talked about to do it,

66
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 3: you know, I talk about just as far as having

67
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 3: a vehicle, and the police department for me was nothing

68
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 3: more than a vehicle. And so when I got started

69
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 3: in real estate investing, I just said, that's just another vehicle.

70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 6: I was like, why do I have to stop doing

71
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 6: this driving this vehicle?

72
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: I love it?

73
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, man, so yep, I started investing in real

74
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: estate at the age of twenty two, the same exact

75
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: time I started as a police officer.

76
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 6: And I became a millionaire by age twenty six.

77
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 5: So all right, so let's talk about this because a

78
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 5: lot of people that watch Early a Lisia, you know,

79
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 5: they have regular job nine to five day. They might

80
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 5: be a firefighter, police officer, or a nurse, or a

81
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 5: school teacher or whatever janitor, and a lot of times

82
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 5: people think that, you know, you just work those type

83
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 5: of jobs. You get a pension, you live off the pension,

84
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 5: and that's it. That's how you become a millionaire. You

85
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 5: become millionaire with your pension when you're sixty five. They

86
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 5: don't even necessarily think like, you actually can be an

87
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 5: entrepreneur at the same time. So all right, let's let's

88
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 5: start at the beginning. How did you get turned on

89
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 5: the real estate and when did you really start to

90
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 5: like hit your stride in real estate.

91
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so in the beginning, bro. Before I even get

92
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 3: to how did I even get turned on? Like I

93
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: literally hit the vision that wanted to be a millionaire.

94
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: Ever since I was a young kid, I wanted to

95
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: be a millionaire. And I was like, man, look, I

96
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 3: never seen anybody else in our community become a millionaire

97
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 3: from their job. I never seen anybody become a millionaire

98
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 3: from you know, working at nine to five. So I

99
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 3: was like, I want to live different. My father was

100
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: a police officer thirty years on the Chicago Police department.

101
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 5: You're from Chicago.

102
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 3: I'm from Chicago, boring and race. And my father was

103
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 3: a police thirty years and my mother Cook County sheriff.

104
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: My mother did twenty years as a sheriff. My brother

105
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 3: was an Illinois State trooper. So I had my family.

106
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: We had somebody to cover the state, somebody else with

107
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: the city, and somebody's with the county. And you know,

108
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: the police department was good. You know, it was a

109
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 3: good job. It put food on our table. But I

110
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: was like, man, I want more. Ever since I was

111
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: growing up, bro, I just wanted to be like a millionaire.

112
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: And the reason why I wanted to be a millionaire's

113
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 3: because I used to look on TV dollar like lifestyles

114
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 3: are the rich and famous, and I used to see

115
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 3: how they used to always just be smiling, bro, you.

116
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 6: Know, it just seemed like it was a good life.

117
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 3: We didn't have interview careers back then, you know, we

118
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 3: had with lifestyle of rich and famous, and I used

119
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 3: to see them and I used to just look and

120
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: I'd be like, man, every time the father come home,

121
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 3: he's smiling, the kids smiling. I ain't never see them arguing,

122
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: you know. I used to watch Good Times all the time. Right,

123
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 3: that's in Chicago. You always see them arguing, the fighting,

124
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: you know. But it was always something about seeing these

125
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 3: rich people and how they seemed like their life was

126
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: a little bit different. I used to say, man, I

127
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 3: want that. I want that life for my family, but

128
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 3: I didn't know how to get it. And so I

129
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: said I was gonna be a you know, I was

130
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: gonna make it to the NFL. And when I didn't

131
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 3: make it, like ninety nine percent of us, right, I

132
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 3: was kind of stuck with, like, what am I gonna

133
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,840
Speaker 3: do in life? And at that point, bruh, that's when

134
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 3: I was just like I was lost. I didn't know

135
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 3: what I was gonna do, Like most people, and I

136
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 3: did was familiar to me, and I became a police

137
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 3: officer because that's who my father was doing, that's what

138
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: my mother was doing, and that's what my brother was doing.

139
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 2: Was that at any point that you saw, like obviously

140
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 2: law enforcement was in the blood. A lot of times

141
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: people grow up and they say, like, I want to

142
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 2: be different, I don't want to do it. Was there

143
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: any moment in life when you're like, let me try

144
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: something different and law enforcement is what you got led

145
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: back to? That?

146
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was.

147
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 6: I just did what was familiar. Bro, I ain't gonna lie.

148
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 5: I just did.

149
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 3: I never wanted to be a cop, Okay, I just did.

150
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna sit here and say like I

151
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: was looking to be a police officer.

152
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 5: No.

153
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: I wanted to be rich. I wanted to play in

154
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: the NFL, you know, I wanted to live this kind

155
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 3: of life.

156
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 5: But I didn't know.

157
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 3: Once I graduated and I didn't make it to the NFL,

158

Speaker 5: real estate? Yeah?

171
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 6: So right after that.

172
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 3: So I had a friend of mine whose uncle was

173
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: a real estate investor, and I seen this guy. Man.

174
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: I remember going to his house and he hit this.

175
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: It was in Chicago, was an old greystone bill. And

176
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, you guys from New York, you know

Speaker 3: like knowing that the projects was in this area too.

180
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: But my boy said, like, man, my uncle got a mansion, man,

181
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: and it's in this area. And I was like, bro,

182
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: this yeah, right, And so we got on the porch.

183
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: It was like a huge greystone brownstone looker building. And

184
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: then when he opened up those doors, man, I seen

185
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: I'm talking about twelve foot ceilings. I seen this huge mansion,

186
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: he hit everything inside of it, and I was like, man,

187
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: what does this man do for a living. And then

188
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: that's my boy say yeah, my uncle real estate in Vesta.

189
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: And then that's when they clicked for me, like man, okay,

00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: he not playing an NFL. My man ain't win a lottery.

191
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. He literally is a real

192
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 6: estate in vester.

193
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 3: He living like this, He's living like this image that

194
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: I hid in my mind of how I wanted to

195
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: become a millionaire, what my life would look like. And

196
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: so at that point, that's when I met with him

197
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: and he introduced me to my real estate broker April,

198
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 3: and we did this thing where you know where I

199
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 3: said that I created this lifestyle for myself, right, I

200
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 3: created this whole lifestyle of what a millionaire life looked like.

201
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 3: So I said, I wanted to live in this kind

202
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 3: of house. I said, I want to drive this kind

203
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 3: of car. I said, I wanted to, you know, send

204
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 3: my kids. Then I ain't even have kids at the time,

205
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 3: but I said, I want to send my kids to

206
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: this type of school when I would have kids. And

207
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: then at that point I wrote down like literally how

208
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 3: much that cost? How much this whole life costs. I

209
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 3: put all of this on paper, and it's crazy because

210
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 3: I still got this paper where I wrote it all out,

211
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 3: and it was like, this is what my my lifestyle

212
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: would cost. And then I went and said I was

213
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: going to buy a building for every single bill that

214
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: I would have at the time. So if I said

215
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: I want to live in a five thousand square foot house,

216
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: I researched what five thousand square foot houses cost, and

217
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 3: if the mortgage to that cost three thousand dollars, then

218
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 3: I said, Okay, I'm gonna purchase this for you in

219
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: a building. And after I paid the mortgage expenses, the

220
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: net cash flow from this building now is two thousand

221
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: dollars or whatever. How many properties would it take for

222
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: me to cover this house? And literally I created this

223
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: whole million dollar lifestyle from one property at the time.

224
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: So that's incredible. So I know I'm sending it as

225
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: a guy who was in a nine to five hours

226
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: teaching the number one thing is like and most people

227
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 2: they doubt themselves because they say, I don't have the funding.

228
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: So in the beginning, was it your teacher's salary not

229
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: your teach salary. But your police salary that funded the

230
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 2: first couple of properties. How did that work?

231
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 3: Yeah, so my first property, bro, my first property was

232
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: a four unit building. I had to put down fifteen

233
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 3: thousand dollars down. And at this time, I was only

234
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: making thirty six thousand dollars a year as a cop,

235
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: and that's for taxes, right. I was making thirty six

236
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 3: thousand dollars twelve hundred dollars every two weeks. So I

237
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 3: couldn't really I didn't have any money.

238
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 6: And so what I did.

239
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: They have a thing called uniform allowances with the police

240
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 3: department where they literally would give you money to buy

241
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: new uniforms, to get a vest, to get your gun,

242
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 3: to get all these things. And so I knew my family,

243
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 3: my parents, my brother, everybody was already police. So I

244
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: went to them. Man, I was borrowing my dad's vest,

245
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 3: I borrowed my brothers, you know what I'm saying, uniform

246
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: duty belt. I was borrowing different items from different people,

247
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 3: and I was just taking the uniform money and I

248
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: was putting that money in my pocket. And at the

249
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,560
Speaker 3: time I was engaged to you. My wife now and

250
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 3: she would like save one of her checks and give

251
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,079
Speaker 3: it to me, and so we literally were saving our

252
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: way to that first property. And that first property we,

253
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: like I said, we had to put down fifteen thousand

254
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 3: dollars on it. I had to sell her actually cover

255
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: all my carrye I mean, my clothing costs. So I

256
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: only had to put down the down payment of fifteen

257
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: thousand dollars.

258
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 5: So you said, all right, you start wing you twenty two,

259
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 5: and then you say you become million twenty six.

260
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, by the age of twenty six.

261
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: How many properties did you have at that point that time?

262
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: I probably hit about six properties. I know, I was

263
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 3: making sixteen thousand dollars a month net cash.

264
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 5: Flow from my real estate. So you had your portfolio

265
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 5: was worth a million. You was getting sixteen thousand dollars

266
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 5: a month.

267
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 3: My portfolio was worth one point seven million. Point bro,

268
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: It's crazy. I didn't even know I was a millionaire.

269
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 3: That's the crazy think about it. Like, literally, I was

270
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 3: sitting there doing exactly what I told you. I was

271
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: buying a building for every bill. I created this lifestyle

272
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 3: for myself. And this is when me and my wife

273
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: was starting a daycare center. We was looking to start

274
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: the first daycare center, and we went to go get

275
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 3: a business loan and we got. You know, they wanted

276
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 3: us to come, bring our portfolio and bring whatever else

277
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 3: we had, all our financials. And when we went in

278
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 3: front of the bank, the London name was Darryl Tucker,

279
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,559
Speaker 3: and I remember he used to always call me Officer King,

280
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: Officer King, cause I would go there in my uniform. Well,

281
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: he looked at my p and ls and he you know,

282
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 3: my assets and my net worth. He looked at me

283
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 3: and then he was like, mister King, He's like, you're

284
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 3: a millionaire. And I was in my police uniform at

285
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,599
Speaker 3: the time, and I was like, I'm a millionaire. I

286
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 3: didn't even know I was a millionaire. And he was

287
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 3: like yeah, he's like, your net worth is one point

288
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: seven million dollars. And that's the thing. I didn't even

289
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 3: know what the time, really what net worth was. And

290
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: that's why I try to show people like bru real

291
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 3: estate is the quickest way to get your net worth

292
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 3: up if you just think about it. If you guys

293
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: in the financial world, the average what is the average

294
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 3: networth or the medium net worth of a black family

295
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 3: is twenty eight thousand dollars twenty eight thousand dollars by

296
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 3: the time I was twenty six, my net worth was

297
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 3: one point seven million dollars just from investing in real estate.

298
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 5: So what made you continue to work when you were

299
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 5: getting sixteen thousand dollars a month a millionaire but in

300
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,360
Speaker 5: your net worth? Why did you continue? Because then you

301
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 5: continue for fifteen more years after that? Yeah, So what

302
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 5: was the what was the drive to just And that's

303
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 5: a very dangerous job, you know, in a very tough neighborhood,

304
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 5: So it's not like something that's an easy job to do.

305
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 5: Why did you continue to be a police officer?

306
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,319
Speaker 3: But the thing about it is you always hear people

307
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 3: talk about quit your job. Quit your job. If you

308
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 3: want to make it, you need to quit your job.

309
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 3: And I was surrounded around on fifteen thousand other police officers.

310
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: So being to run around all these fifteen thousand police officer,

311
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: I had fifteen thousand other people that wanted to rent,

312
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 3: fifteen thousand other people that I could sell properties to.

313
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: I told you my wife and I started daycare centers.

314
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: I had fifteen thousand people that was having children that

315
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 3: the police only trust the police. You know, I don't

316
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 3: know how it is, but if you think about it, true,

317
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 3: the police only trust police, and so now here it

318
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 3: is when the police was hearing that, Hey, this police

319
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: officer got a daycare center. And you think about the

320
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 3: police department, it's twenty four hours, it never closes. The

321
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 3: fire departments twenty four hours, it never closed it. So

322
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 3: you got a night shift, you got a day shift,

323
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 3: you got an afternoon shift. We would literally our first

324
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: daycare center, we made that twenty four hours. So if

325
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: you think about it, our first daycare center, we held

326
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 3: one hundred kids in that daycare center. The average kid

327
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 3: was paying about one thousand dollars a month. So our

328
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 3: first year in business, we was making one hundred thousand

329
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: dollars a month from a daycare center.

330
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 6: And a daycare center was in Inglewood.

331
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 3: It was in one of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago

332
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 3: that we were making a hundred thousand dollars a month

333
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 3: from that daycare center. And most of our clients of

334
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 3: some of our clients were police officers, were firemen, were teachers.

335
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: When they found out that a police officer own this

336
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 3: daycare center, then at that point everybody was like, oh wow,

337
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 3: it's safety here, you know. And so I never felt

338
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 3: the need to have to quit my job. It was

339
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: like I got an ecosystem of police officers here that

340
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 3: needed places to rent, They need places to live. I

341
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 3: was flipping properties to police officers. I knew they had safe,

342
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 3: secure jobs. Matter of fact, I was walking up to

343
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 3: the lender that first told me that I was a millionaire, saying, hey,

344
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 3: you need to get approved for this property through here

345
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: and so and then. Another thing that I was telling

346
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: you about before was that I looked at everything as

347
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 3: a vehicle. You know, how many vehicles do you have

348
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: in your garage. I talked to people all the time.

349
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 3: They got several cars in their garage, but they feel

350
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: like they only could have one job. They only could

351
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 3: feel like that. You know, I only could do one thing.

352
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 3: And I never looked at it that way. I looked

353
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: at it like, look I can, I can work as

354
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: a police officer. So the police department was my hootie,

355
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 3: right if we just break it down. Vehicle A wait,

356
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 3: that was my HOOTI. That was my dependable vehicle. That

357
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: was my Toyota Camry. Every single day, I know that

358
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: car will start up right no matter what. The real

359
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 3: estate investing to me was like my Catillac Escalade. That

360
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 3: was something that to get me through the snow. That

361
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: was something that I wanted to travel. The daycare centers

362
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 3: was like another vehicle. So every business that I had,

363
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 3: everything that I did, I never felt the need to

364
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: get rid of another one. You know, every millionaire has

365
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 3: at least seven streams of income. One of those streams

366
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 3: of income is earned income. So the police department was

367
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: my earned income. That was that stream that kept the

368
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: benefits right. It kept those those things that we have

369
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: as a user teacher right, and so your pension, you know,

370
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: your if people be so quick to lead their job,

371
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 3: and it's like, look for if everybody out here is

372
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: like Troy, you know where you you know, lead your

373
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: job and then started a podcasting nor more podcasts in

374
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:54,040

469
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 3: while fiers coming out of this gun. As we're fighting

470
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: over this gun, my partner pulls up. It was an

471
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 3: old timer. He said he couldn't see us. He gets

472
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: out the car, sees bullets coming at him, so he

473
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 3: turns around and starts to shoot at both of us.

474
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: The kid goes over to the other side of the fence,

475
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 3: drops the gun, I take cover, and the kid end

476
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 3: up getting away. But literally after that had happened, all

477
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 3: of the supervisors came on the scene as a rookie

478
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 3: cop because I was still on probation. They took my

479
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 3: gun from me and I ain't even firing my gun.

480
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 3: They put me in the back of a squad car

481
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 3: and they told us to sit here because my partner

482
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: fired sixteen shots and all his bullets went across the

483
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 3: street to another building that was across the street, so

484
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: they said, somebody is probably in this building dead.

485
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 6: So here it is now.

486
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 3: They took my partner, put him in one car, put

487
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 3: me in one car, and literally I'm just sitting here

488
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 3: in the back of the cot just thinking of myself.

489
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 3: That was the only time that I wanted to quit.

490
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 3: While I was like, man, all I wanted to do

491
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 3: was have a secure job. I just want a job

492
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 3: with benefits. I just wanted to be able to take

493
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 3: care of my family. And now here it is, I'm

494
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 3: possibly fight for my life right now. After I just

495
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 3: literally got shot at and so it was things like

496
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 3: that where I was like, Okay, cool, I'm gonna be

497
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 3: I'm done with the mindset that most people have on

498
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 3: their jobs where you're like, Okay, I'm gonna let this

499
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 3: job take care of me for the next thirty years.

500
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 3: I'm gonna buy into the system of the company. But

501
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 3: I wasn't finished with this one stream of income that

502
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 3: I have.

503
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 2: At the time.

504
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 6: So those are my first two calls ever.

505
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 3: But at that point, Bro, I was just like, I

506
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 3: got this vision of how I want my life to be,

507
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 3: and no matter what, no matter what this job bring me,

508
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 3: no matter what's going on, I'm going to get there.

509
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people quit their jobs prematurely.

510
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 3: You know, you just think about a lot of people

511
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 3: just quit their jobs prematurely. So I never wanted that

512
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 3: to be me. I said, I have a vision of

513
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,360
Speaker 3: how I want my life to be, and I'm going

514
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,679
Speaker 3: to maintain I'm not gonna let this one stream of

515
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 3: income that I have get away from me because I

516
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 3: knew I was leveraging the police department, leveraging my nine

517
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: to five in order to purchase real estate.

518
00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: When you drew up that plan, because that's like I

519
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: never even thought that, right, Like, not only are they

520
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 2: your colleagues, but they are going to eventually be your

521
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 2: clients when you drew up the plan? Was that originally

522
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 2: the vision or did that come along the way right,

523
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: because I'm thinking, like daycares that makes so much sense. Yeah,

524
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 2: why wouldn't you be doing that? So did you know

525
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: that pride to going in or did as you're going

526
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: and saying I real estate, All right, well I can

527
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 2: rent homes and sell homes to them, but hey, they

528
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 2: have children too, I can do a daycare too. And

529
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: then the second part to that is like that's three

530
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: different streams. You have a job that is pretty intensive,

531
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: so what's the balance, like we're managing all that?

532
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, So for managing for me, it was always just

533
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 3: like just like Rasha, I just got through saying I

534
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 3: have a chain of daycare centers with my wife. I

535
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: have a security company, pretty large security company with my brother.

536
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 3: So I literally put people in place or start businesses

537
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 3: with people that's family, people that I trust, that I love,

538
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 3: that's friends of mine, and so that way it doesn't

539
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 3: feel like a job. I'm with my wife all day long,

540
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 3: you knowing, So that way we're able to you know,

541
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 3: we were together already, so it's not hard for me

542
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 3: to manage that same thing with my brother.

543
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 6: So it's not hard.

544
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 3: I like to see other people making money at the

545
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 3: same time that I'm making money, and so it never

546
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: seemed like it was anything that I had to work

547
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 3: hard to do, you know. It just seemed like it

548
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 3: came natural. And then with the police department, in the beginning,

549
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 3: I would say I didn't see the police officers bringing

550
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 3: their kids to my daycare center. It wasn't until I

551
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 3: hit this one instance where I actually hit a lady

552
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 3: cop that was working with me, where she I think

553
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 3: something happened was she didn't have a babysitterer and couldn't

554
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 3: drop her kid off. Ugh, she couldn't come to work

555
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 3: that day, and so at that point, that's when she

556
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 3: asked me if she could bring her kid to my

557
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 3: daycare center. And then I was like, man, it's a

558
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 3: need for childcare. And then at that point that's when

559
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 3: we start opening up daycare centers strategically around the different

560
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 3: police departments police stations that I worked at, because it

561
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 3: was right there, so when police officers got off work,

562
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 3: then they were able to just come there and pick

563
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 3: the child up.

564
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 2: Now, just the second part too, it because I'm thinking,

565
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 2: like we have a lot of people who were married,

566
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 2: was your wife's vision aligned with yours or was it

567
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 2: something that you have to convince her, because like I'm

568
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 2: not sure was she in law enforcement, because a lot

569
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 2: of people try, Like I'm married now, right, So like

570
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: my wife's vision may not be with mine, but she'll

571
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 2: support me because she understands that there's a mission. Same

572
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: thing for your brother, Like we put people in positions

573
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 2: and sometimes they're not ready to be in that position

574
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 2: and then it ends up backfiring. So where they both

575
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 2: lot this was both aligned with what they had visions

576
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: for themselves. They were like, let me support our brother

577
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 2: our husband.

578
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so my brother. So I actually looked at the

579
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 3: things that they were doing already. So with me and

580
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 3: my wife, we just hit our daughter right, and my

581
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 3: wife she wanted to still you know, my wife wanted

582
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 3: to still make money, but yet she wanted to still

583
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 3: take care of our kids. So we went around looking

584
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,879
Speaker 3: at daycare centers for our daughter and it was like

585
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 3: we couldn't find a daycare center that was nice enough.

586
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 6: You know, for our child.

587
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: And then when I found out what or daycare Simmons

588
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 3: was actually charging, I was like, man, I can't believe this.

589
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 3: I was in real estate, so I took a church.

590
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,880
Speaker 3: I literally took a church. I renovated a church one

591
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 3: property at the time. I literally fixed and flipped our

592
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 3: way because we never got that loan for that daycare center,

593
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 3: so I had to flip properties. So I would buy property,

594
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: fixing it up up, flip it, take fifty percent of

595
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 3: the profit and put it back into not flipping another property,

596
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 3: and they will take the other fifty percent and put

597
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 3: it into the daycare center itself, you know. And so

598
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 3: that's how we end up starting out with the first

599
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 3: daycare center. But with my wife, it was just like, look,

600
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 3: you can do this on your own, Like we can

601
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 3: literally create our own daycare center and have everybody come

602
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 3: here and pay us. My brother was already working security,

603
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 3: like most police officers, they already working part time. This

604
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 3: is something that he was doing already, and I was

605
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 3: looking at him going to work every single day, and

606
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, bro, why don't we own our own security company?

607
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 3: And so I take what people are doing already and

608
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 3: then I just go ahead, and I'm that financial backing.

609
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: I'm that visionary, the one that say, hey, look we

610
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 3: can start our own business. And I think a lot

611
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 3: of people missed that brother. When I tell you, people

612
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: are so quick to lead a job or lead a

613
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 3: situation they're in. If you just look at the situation

614
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 3: you're in, there's a business in that, there's a business

615
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 3: in that, you know. And so we just was able

616
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 3: to do it. And within the first year, me and

617
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: my brother, our business went from zero to a million

618
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 3: million dollars, a million dollar security company. And now our

619
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: security company makes millions of dollars. And it all came

620
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 3: from him having the knowledge. For years he worked part

621
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 3: time job for everybody else. He was a part time

622
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,920
Speaker 3: security guard for everybody else except for hisself.

623
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 5: So all right, so let's get into this. I want

624
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 5: to talk about the security. I want to talk about

625
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 5: the daycare each individually, and I also want to talk

626
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 5: about the development. But let's start with the real estate

627
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 5: investing aspect of it. You put a post up a

628
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 5: few years ago that I have reposting a lot of

629
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 5: traction about Section eight. Housing. People have a bad stigma

630
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 5: about Section eight. Is it's still called section eight. I

631
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 5: think they might have changed it.

632
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think section.

633
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 5: So you are big on the Section eight.

634
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 3: I love it, all right, So, especially during the pandemic, explain.

635
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 5: Explain why it's beneficial and how did you get turned

636
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 5: on to that?

637
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so my first tenants were Section eight. I started

638
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 3: out with Section eight. Real estate broker she told me,

639
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 3: you know, I, as a police officer, we look for

640
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 3: secure money, right I work. I'm a city worker, So

641
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: first and the sixteenth, I know that I'm going to

642
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 3: get my money the first thing, no matter what happens,

643
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: no matter what the economy, no matter what's going on,

644
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 3: that first and the sixteenth police officers look for that

645
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 3: paycheck in that same kind of way.

646
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 6: For me, I didn't have a bunch of money saved up.

647
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 3: So if I couldn't pay my mortgage, you know I

648
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 3: didn't have money, Well I could just go tap me

649
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: into my bank account to go pay this mortgage. So

650
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 3: I needed that guarantee secure money. So my real estate

651
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 3: broker she taught me, told me about Section eight and

652
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: the process was to me, it was great because with

653
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 3: Section eight is like they actually manage your building for you.

654
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 6: You know, before you can.

655
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 3: Move a tenant into your property, they come out, they

656
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 3: inspect the property, they tell you what needs to be fixed,

657
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 3: you know, what needs to be changed, and then they

658
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 3: take pictures of it and then they do a yearly

659
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 3: inspection every single year. And then so when they come

660
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 3: out yearly and inspect this property, they're telling you, all right,

661
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 3: this needs to be fixed, needs to be fixed. So

662
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 3: pretty much Section eight was like a property manager for me.

663
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 3: They made sure that my property was kept up, and

664
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 3: it was the guaranteed money part they really you know,

665
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 3: kept me going.

666
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 5: Well.

667
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people so like during the pandemic,

668
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 3: after that post came out, a lot of people was

669
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 3: just like, oh no, I wouldn't do Section eight. Section eight.

670
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 3: They you know, man, they messed your place up. Oh man,

671
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 3: they gonna tear your place up. And I'm like, I

672
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 3: didn't have that kind of result because every single year

673
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 3: they're doing an inspection and they know if the damage

674
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,159
Speaker 3: came from the tenant or if the damage came or

675
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 3: if it's something that's on the owner that needs to

676
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: be fixed. And so for me, I was just like, man,

677
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: section eight is the way to go. When COVID struck, though,

678
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 3: everybody tended like people stopped paying, right, people stopped paying.

679
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: The only people that were still paying and paying on

680
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 3: time was Section.

681
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 5: Eight because that's the government for them, right, it's the

682
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 5: government paying form that the government pays one hundred percent,

683
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 5: or it's like, well, some people have co payments, right,

684
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 5: and so I have tenants where they do pay one

685
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 5: hundred percent. I have tenants where the tenant has a fifty.

686
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: Dollars co payment, and I'm talking about what a rent

687
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 3: might be thirteen hundred dollars and intendent only have to

688
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: have fifty dollars copay. I have some tenants where the

689
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 3: government pays fifty percent and a tenant pays the other

690
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 3: fifty percent. It's a program where it's designed to get

691
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 3: tenants to become self sufficient, right, It's designed to get

692
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 3: people to become self sufficient. But like I said, I

693
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 3: say at tenants over the last ten years that's been

694
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: on Section eight, and I mean, I love it because,

695
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 3: like I said, it's guaranteed money. And whenever you're building

696
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 3: a business, I think that in the beginning. Now I

697
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 3: have so many units where if I have a tenant

698
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 3: that doesn't pay, that's not Section eight. I can still

699
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 3: get profit from another property. But in the beginning, and

700
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 3: I tell this to anybody when you're starting out in

701
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: real estate, I would definitely start out with secure, guaranteed

702
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: money because you can't afford to miss a payment.

703
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 5: And it's a common misconception people have about Section eight

704
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 5: that think it's only for public housing. But you could

705
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 5: have any place could be Section eight if the landlord

706
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 5: wants to rent it to Section eight. Yeah, yeah, I

707
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 5: saw like a private It doesn't necessarily have to be

708
00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 5: public house. It could be a private house and they

709
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 5: get a voucher, right, and they can just live there.

710
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 3: Correct, So you make your place section eight ready, so

711
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 3: it's not like this building here is designated for Section eight. Yeah,

712
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 3: so any property Section eight ten, it can move anywhere.

713
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 3: You know, you just have to fill out the voucher.

714
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 3: And then once they submit that to a Section eight

715
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 3: they come out doing an inspection and then that's when

716
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 3: they send you and then you do what's called rent negotiation.

717
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 3: Then you negotiate the rent, and.

718
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 5: Then they increase the rent over the course of time. Right, absolutely,

719
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 5: the government increases it. The government increases it.

720
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 2: Yep. So in the portfolio, are these properties that you

721
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: have and know it's over three hundre are they predominantly

722
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 2: in one area in Chicago? And what's the ratio is it?

723
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 2: I have this percentage that I'm allocating the flip I'm

724
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: keeping these for rent flow, Like, how do you balance that?

725
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so one hundred percent of my properties that are

726
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 3: in Illinois, right, but most of them are in Chicago.

727
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 3: So Chicago is so large and so diverse. I got

728
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 3: properties on the east side of Chicago, the south side

729
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 3: of Chicago, and the west side of Chicago. I haven't

730
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 3: got onto the north side because the north side is

731
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 3: just too expensive, you know. And so yeah, so so

732
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 3: I have property. So I got this thing where I

733
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 3: got a purpose of every property that I purchase, right,

734
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 3: every single property serves a purpose. I don't just go

735
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 3: buying real estate to buy real estate. I think when

736
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 3: people do that, they go wrong, you know. So if

737
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 3: I don't need like if my wife so she wanted

738
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 3: to do vacations, you want to travel every three months,

739
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 3: Now we have a property that covers that expense, and

740
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 3: so we have props. So after that, now we have

741
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 3: like we flip single family houses, and so we keep

742
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 3: in our portfolio multi unit buildings and so those are

743
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 3: cash flow properts that take care of everything in our

744
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 3: life that we needed to take care of. And then

745
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 3: the single family houses we flip those because we find

746
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 3: single family houses more easier to flip because you got

747
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 3: right now as a housing market and everybody's looking to

748
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 3: move into a home, and you know, we're still flipping houses.

749
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: You know, people are still buying even right now with

750
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 3: this so called pandemic or high interest rates. And really,

751
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 3: to me, interest rates are not really that high. When

752
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 3: I first got started in real estate two years ago,

753
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 3: you know, the average interest rate was about eight percent

754
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 3: you know where today, and people was happy for that.

755
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 3: I remember back in I don't remember, but I've heard

756
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 3: back in the eighties, interest rates was like eighteen percent. Yeah,

757
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 3: they were double digits, and so you know, people still

758
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 3: getting mortgages then, and so yeah, so right now we

759
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 3: fix and flip, and we also we still fix and

760
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 3: flip multi units for people that's doing house hacking. You

761
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 3: know house hacking where a person the owner would live

762
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 3: in one unit and rent out the other units to

763
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 3: cover their mortgage, which is great for somebody that's retiring

764
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 3: from you know, being a teacher, being a police officer,

765
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 3: and you're looking to supplement that income. You know, house

766
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 3: hacking is the way to go. So those are the

767
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 3: types of people that we flip properties to. So you

768
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 3: put on Instagram that the five keys to protecting your

769
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 3: rental investment. Let's go through each one of them. Property insurance, Yes,

770
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: you got to have property insurance. I remember when I

771
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 3: did my second property, I didn't have the right head

772
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 3: property insurance. I didn't have the right property insurance. I

773
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 3: didn't know that you have to have a policy that

774
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 3: covers theft, and so I had property insurance on the property,

775
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 3: but it just covered tenant. It was a tenant policy

776
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 3: as opposed to a renovation policy. And so because I

777
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 3: did not have property insurance, the right policy on that property,

778
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 3: somebody broke into that property and stole I had all

779
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 3: the material in there. I had everything in there, and

780
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:20,959
Speaker 3: they end up ripping me off and taking everything out

781
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 3: of there. So people need to make sure they have

782
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 3: the right insurance policy.

783
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 5: So the right insurance policy should have deaf insured. What

784
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 5: should the right insurance policy?

785
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 6: It depends on what you're doing.

786
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 3: So if you're doing a fix and flip, you know,

787
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 3: you definitely want to make sure that you're having a

788
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 3: policy that covers theft. You know, not a tenant policy

789
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 3: because you don't have a tenant in that property, and

790
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 3: so in your insurance agent a lot of times won't

791
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 3: even tell you that. You know, a lot of times

792
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 3: when investors are getting into real estate, you're just looking

793
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: to get a policy and the end you're just looking

794
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 3: to get the cheapest policy. Right, You're just like, man,

795
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 3: I just want Once they give you the amount, you're

796
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 3: just like, yeah, I just want the cheapest one. But

797
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 3: you need to read the fine print and actually get

798
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 3: one that's covering what you're doing.

799
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 2: So like if somebody if you're building and you're putting

800
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 2: in a stove or you're putting in the fridge a

801
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: no time, like people are just I've seen that happen

802
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 2: when people will take these type of appliances out of

803
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 2: somebody's house while they're building it.

804
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,439
Speaker 3: All the time. It just happened to me probably several

805
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 3: months ago during the pandemic. We literally moved the pliances

806
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: into a house and then like within seven hours, all

807
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 3: those appliances came right.

808
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 6: Off the house.

809
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 2: Seven hours.

810
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 3: Seven hours wasn't even whole twenty four hours. Somebody saw

811
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 3: us moving appliances in, they came there and took the

812
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 3: pliances right out of there. But that type of policy happened. Yeah,

813
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 3: that you can actually write that off or you can

814
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 3: actually get a reimbursed for that, you know, But if

815
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 3: you just hit a rental policy, it won't cover that.

816
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 2: Do the premiums I mean, if that happens out, do

817
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 2: the premiums go up on the insurance? Is how it

818
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: works the same thing like in cars.

819
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't had premiums go up based on something

820
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: that small. Now, if you're talking about something major, you know,

821
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 3: then of course your premium will go up. But something

822
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: small like okay, refriger you know, five thousand dollars nah?

823
00:34:56,360 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 3: Property manager, yes, property manager, Especially if you're a nine

824
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 3: to fiver, if you work in a job, you don't

825
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 3: have time to manage your property. And I think that's

826
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 3: been the secret sauce to me over my whole time.

827
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 3: I didn't have time to every time somebody called me

828
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 3: talking about some ads, this broke down.

829
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 6: I don't know how to fix anything.

830
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 3: Bro When I tell you that, like I own over

831
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 3: three hundred and eighty units and I don't know how

832
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 3: to change a toilet. I don't need to know how

833
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 3: to change a toilet. That's my property manager's job. My

834
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 3: property manager knows how to find the people that's gonna

835
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 3: change the toilet for me. And I think people don't

836
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 3: get in real estate because they think that you got

837
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 3: to know how to do all this stuff. Bru, I

838
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 3: don't know how to do anything. And I mean, I

839
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 3: could probably learn how to do it, but I need

840
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 3: to be purchasing more properties. Somebody has to be the

841
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 3: one that's the visionary. Somebody got to be the one

842
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 3: that's actually, you know, put bind the properties. And so

843
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 3: that's my job. And so have a property manager. And

844
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 3: so now when you say, okay, Jamal, you got three

845
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 3: hundred eighty units, yeah, I don't know that one of

846
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 3: my tenants, and my tenants don't know me personally, but

847
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 3: my property manager knows all three hundred tenants. Right, My

848
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 3: property manager knows all the ten and I deal with

849
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 3: the property manager. So all my tenants pay my property manager,

850
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 3: and my property manager pays me. It's easy to deal

851
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 3: with one person, but imagine if you had to deal

852
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 3: with all of these different people too much, it'll be

853
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 3: too much. You wouldn't even Now it's like, okay, I

854
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 3: need to quit my job because this has become a job,

855
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. So that's been the secret, sauce.

856
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: I have managers for everything that I do. When it's

857
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 3: easy for me to manage one person. So now I

858
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,439
Speaker 3: grow my portfolio to a thousand properties. Fine, I got

859
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 3: one property manager though that I deal with. Oh, I

860
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 3: can separate it five hundred units to this property manager,

861
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 3: five hundred units to that property manager.

862
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 6: But we have to simplify it.

863
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 3: And I think that a lot of times we make

864
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 3: things too complex because we're trying to do everything on

865
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 3: our own. And so that property manager, even a project manager,

866
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 3: if you're doing a fix and flip, here it is.

867
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 3: I'm with you guys right now, talking to you, and

868
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,800
Speaker 3: I'm working on sixteen fixing flips right now in Chicago.

869
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 3: I'm not on my phone right now. Like a home depot, Yeah,

870
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 3: put the chandelier here, Yeah, we want this. No, I

871
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 3: have a project manager that knows exactly how I fix

872
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 3: up these properties.

873
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 5: So that was the next thing. So all right, so

874
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 5: the property manager is ten percent. You pay them ten percent?

875
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, so property manager, I pay ten percent.

876
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 3: Sometimes it can go from it can go as low

877
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 3: as seven percent to twelve percent.

878
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 5: Of like monthly rent, yes, of the gross of the

879
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 5: gross and the three hundred eighty units. Correct, and they

880
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 5: and they manage the property. They managed it from A

881
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 5: to Z. They manage the property. They if tendants leave out,

882
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 5: they put the tenants in the property. Not only difference

883
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 5: is if something goes wrong in the property, they're not

884
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 5: They're they're finding the contractor or talking with the contractor

885
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,399
Speaker 5: get it fixed. But yet you still have to come

886
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 5: up with the money to actually pay for that whatever

887
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 5: it is. And so they're doing the maintenance of it,

888
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 5: the shoveling of the snow, the cutting up the grass,

889
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 5: all of the stuff that we don't want to do, right,

890
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 5: all the stuff that we don't want to do, that's

891
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 5: their responsibity. You find a good one, just referral, referrals.

892
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 3: Word of mouth the same way how you find a

893
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 3: good contractor. You and I tell people all the time.

894
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 3: Word of mouth is everything you know. If you're gonna

895
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 3: be in real estate, you know, you ask around, ask questions.

896
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 3: A good state brokers should know a good property manager.

897
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 3: A good property manager should know a good contractor. Great

898
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 3: contractors should know other great contractors, and so everything as

899
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 3: far as in real estate, it is a hands on

900
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 3: contact sport where word of mouth, you know, if it's

901
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 3: a contractor, you should stay away from.

902
00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 6: Trust me.

903
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 3: People know you know all the bed contractors, they know

904
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 3: all of the bed property managers and project managers.

905
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 2: Is there a number that you would get to? And

906
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 2: it's like, all right, I need to hire more than

907
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,840
Speaker 2: one property manager because you said you spread out the

908
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 2: entire state of Illinois. I'm thinking, like, damn for one

909
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 2: person to be moving around like that, that's tough. But

910
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 2: obviously having section eight helps, yeah, because you know, I mean,

911
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 2: that's guarantee that probably goes straight to an account. But

912
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,839
Speaker 2: is there a number or is there a reason why

913
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 2: you just have one and not having all right, Well,

914
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 2: you have the south side, that's your that's your area.

915
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 2: You got the east side. Is the reason why you

916
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 2: don't use that trategy?

917
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 5: Yeah?

918
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 3: I tell people it could be five properties, you got

919
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,240
Speaker 3: five units and switch up property managers. It all depends

920
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 3: on how good they are. And right now, the property

921
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 3: managers I have hasn't showed herself to not be good.

922
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 3: To be honest, as long as it's still working. So

923
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,439
Speaker 3: as long as it's still working, I'm gonna keep buying.

924
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 3: And I think that's the thing, man. As long as

925
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 3: it's working, then I'm gonna keep buying. Well, the second

926
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 3: is not working, then I need to switch it up.

927
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 3: Then I need to go figure out. Okay, something is

928
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 3: going wrong. Let me go find me another property manager.

929
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 3: You know, because you're not able to handle all of this.

930
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 5: Project manager. You spoke about that briefly, all right, So

931
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,759
Speaker 5: the project manager oversees renovation.

932
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, project manager acts as the liaison between you and

933
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:27,960
Speaker 3: the contractor.

934
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 6: But the last thing you want to do is here.

935
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 5: It is.

936
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 3: I'm a police officer and I'm out here in the

937
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 3: squad car and I'm working, and all of a sudden,

938
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 3: I got my guys calling me saying, hey, Jamal, we

939
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 3: need you to come over here and tell us if

940
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 3: this room is big enough or a Jamal, is this

941
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 3: the right pink color? I mean that can get when

942
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 3: you're really doing a lot of projects, you know, you

943
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 3: need a liaison, somebody in there that knows exactly. I

944
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 3: got two different ways that I renovate properties. I keep

945
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 3: it simple. I got two different pink colors. They say,

946
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 3: this is.

947
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 6: Jamal gray and Jamal bage. We got we keep it simple, bro.

948
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 3: We got all of the material one location, and so

949
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 3: my property manager know, my project manager knows this, knows

950
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 3: exactly the light fixtures. So imagine I'm only working with

951
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 3: this one. I'm only working with this one person, and

952
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 3: then we're going around. I only got to spend this

953
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 3: whole month with this person. Like, Okay, these are the

954
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,919
Speaker 3: type of life fixtures we get. These are the type

955
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 3: of This is the type of ceramic Towe marble granted countertops.

956
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 3: These are the type of kitchen cabinets. We have all

957
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 3: of this already written out. So now when my project

958
00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 3: manager goes out there and working with my contractors, he

959
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,439
Speaker 3: knows exactly what it is I want. And in that way,

960
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 3: I don't have to spend time.

961
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 5: Time.

962
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 3: Man, this business is about time, and I didn't get

963
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,400
Speaker 3: in this business to take away time from my family.

964
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,359
Speaker 3: I got into it so that I can have more

965
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 3: time with my family. And the way to do it,

966
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 3: the way to simplify it, is by having the right

967
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 3: people in place.

968
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:52,280
Speaker 5: So you pay him salary or he gets a percentage.

969
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 3: Now he gets a percentage, he gets ten percent of

970
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 3: the construction of the costs. So he's ten percent of

971
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 3: the construction costs. So the construction budgets one hundred thousand dollars.

972
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 3: Not the problem. Not not how much it costs to

973
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 3: purchase the property, how much it costs to fix, just

974
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 3: to fix the property, it gets ten percent of that okay, attorney, attorney,

975
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 3: Oh brouh, yeah, attorney. This is the thing that a

976
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:16,880
Speaker 3: lot of people I see in real estate, they make

977
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 3: the mistake they they try to cut out attorneys because

978
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 3: you technically don't need to have an attorney to purchase

979
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 3: a property. You don't have to have an attorney, you know,

980
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 3: So people always trying to cut it out. But but

981
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 3: attorneys are so important they act they're there to protect you,

982
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 3: you know.

983
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 5: So I got it.

984
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 3: My attorney happens to be my best friend, the one

985
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 3: who actually introduced me to his uncle in the beginning.

986
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 3: So he's actually my real estate attorney. But you know,

987
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,400
Speaker 3: he's there to make sure that if there's any problems

988
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 3: with my tenants and I do have to go through

989
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 3: an eviction, he's working for my best interest with my

990
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 3: property manager, and they're working together. And so if real

991
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 3: estate is all about your team and having the right

992
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 3: team and having them all working together, so I.

993
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 2: Mean that's a lot of units, right, So are you

994
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: doing this in the LLC or is the holding company

995
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,759
Speaker 2: that's getting them? Because I know some people will take

996
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 2: the strategy like every time I get a property. Yeah,

997
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna create a new LLC so I could keep

998
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 2: all the finances straight and everything could be very streamlined.

999
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 2: What's the approach that you take when you're obviously, you know,

1000
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 2: accumulating the units, like.

1001
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 5: Yes to you all.

1002
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 3: So if I'm an fix and flip the property, then

1003
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 3: I just have that in a separate LLC. But if

1004
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 3: we're keeping them, we have a series LLC. And a

1005
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,919
Speaker 3: series LLC is where each property is its own LLC,

1006
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 3: but it's under the umbrella of the parent company. And

1007
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 3: the reason why we do that. Imagine if something happened

1008
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 3: to we had all of our properties under one LLC.

1009
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 3: Imagine if we got sued. And I've had this actually

1010
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 3: happen once before. I hit a guy that was he

1011
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,880
Speaker 3: was visiting one of my tenants and he was on

1012
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 3: a back porch. He said he was taking the garbage out.

1013
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 3: He's slipping and felled down the back porch of the property.

1014
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 3: It was ice on the porch. He grasped hold to

1015
00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,120
Speaker 3: the neighbors fence, which he had the spike to the

1016
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:56,480
Speaker 3: top of the fence. He cut his pinky finger. He

1017
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,239
Speaker 3: got three stitches in his finger, three stitches, and my

1018
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 3: man was suing for thirty thousand dollars because they were

1019
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 3: able to see at that time that all my properties

1020
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 3: was under the same LLC. And so that a lot

1021
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:10,000
Speaker 3: of times that opens what they call a corporate veil

1022
00:43:10,040 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 3: where they can see literally that you have everything under

1023
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,320
Speaker 3: one LLC. And so now it's like, okay. His attorney

1024
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 3: was like, you know, this guy can afford it. You know,

1025
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 3: it's got owns all of these different properties as opposed

1026
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 3: to putting each property on his own series LLC. And

1027
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 3: then now if that guy sued me, then now he's

1028
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,240
Speaker 3: he only can come after me for you know whatsever

1029
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:31,919
Speaker 3: in that property as opposed to coming after everything.

1030
00:43:31,560 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 5: That I have. He didn't win, by the way, though,

1031
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 5: but you know it's.

1032
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 2: Why he got the attorney.

1033
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, got the attorney.

1034
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 6: So attorneys.

1035
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 5: So all right, you got seventeen properties in fifteen months,

1036
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 5: at one.

1037
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 3: Point, seventeen properties in fifteen months. No, we got we

1038
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,480

1086
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 3: we just bought one hundred and thirty unit porfolio.

1087
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 5: The portfolio that was the portfolio. So we'll talk about

1088
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 5: buying a portfolio. What made you want to buy start

1089
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,880
Speaker 5: buying a portfolio and how does that different for people

1090
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 5: in buying just regular.

1091
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,600
Speaker 3: And yeah, so if you look at what's going on

1092
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 3: in an economy today, people are talking about prices are

1093
00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 3: going up with properties, which they are, you know, they've

1094
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:36,399
Speaker 3: been going up for a while. But all of these

1095
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 3: properties that the banks were foreclosing on now so now

1096
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 3: banks are left with just blocks and blocks of properties, right,

1097
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 3: and so the banks now left with all of when

1098
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 3: people wasn't paying rent over this whole time. So now

1099
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 3: the banks have foreclosed on these properties, and so now

1100
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 3: they got all of these different properties in they ario list.

1101
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 3: And so here it is, the banks have these properties

1102
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 3: and they're not selling them individually, and so they're selling

1103
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 3: them as groups of properties. And so if you want

1104
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 3: to buy them, they're saying, let's say it's ten properties

1105
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 3: in this portfolio, you have to buy all ten. But

1106
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 3: when you buy all of the properties, you can leverage

1107
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,440
Speaker 3: your money by buying all of this and get these

1108
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,680
Speaker 3: properties fifty cent on the dollar. And so that's the

1109
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 3: new game now so it's like, okay, cool, let me

1110
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 3: go buy portfolios as opposed to buy individual properties in

1111
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 3: the market. Right now, when you're going out by individual properties,

1112
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 3: the market is saturated. You might have ten fifteen other

1113
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,359
Speaker 3: people trying to buy the same property. But when you're

1114
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 3: buying a portfolio, many people can't come out there and

1115
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 3: spend This portfolio costs US six point eight million dollars.

1116
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,760
Speaker 3: So this portfolio cost six point eight million dollars ahead

1117
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 3: an ARV, minding an a three pair of value on

1118
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 3: this once these properties were all fixed up and hit

1119
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 3: an ARV of twenty point one million dollars. And so,

1120
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,680
Speaker 3: but most people can't afford to pay six point eight

1121
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 3: million dollars for one hundred and thirty units. And so

1122
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 3: at that point I was able to leverage my cash

1123
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 3: and now we got over one hundred and thirty units

1124
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 3: at one time just by buying the whole group of properties.

1125
00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 5: And they were all in Chicago. How do you even

1126
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 5: find You just talk to the bank and ask them, or.

1127
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're actually some of them now they're putting porfolios

1128
00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 3: on the market, on the market. Yeah, you actually got

1129
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,719
Speaker 3: portfolios that's on the market now. But like I said,

1130
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 3: there's only a small few people that can afford it.

1131
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 3: And don't get me wrong, they got portfolios that you know,

1132
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 3: five properties, it could be a tenth property portfolio. I've

1133
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 3: seen three hundred property portfolios. You know, they are all

1134
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 3: types of portfolios out here. Some of them you can

1135
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 3: get through your real estate brokers. Some of them you

1136
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 3: might get from you know, your banks. You know, you

1137
00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 3: can go to the bank and ask them, you have

1138
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 3: a relationship with the bank, you know, what, where's your

1139
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 3: rio list? And then a lot of you know banks

1140
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 3: that give you that list if you have a relationship.

1141
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 3: A lot of times they keep them you know, hush hush,

1142
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 3: but yeah, exactly right. They're not just telling everybody. But yeah,

1143
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 3: so that's the new game. And so a lot of

1144
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 3: these properties you were coming in and getting them fifty

1145
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:46,080
Speaker 3: cents on the dollar.

1146
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 6: So I tell people, you got to change. That's the

1147
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 6: market changes.

1148
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 3: You have to change your strategy on how you're actually

1149
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 3: getting your your properties.

1150
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 2: The more you know you said something, and it's very important,

1151
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 2: your level of exposure will determine your level of success.

1152
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,959
Speaker 2: And so as you're on this journey, I wonder who

1153
00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 2: and what rooms are you going into to learn more, right,

1154
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,439
Speaker 2: because you said you didn't really know anything in real estate,

1155
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 2: but you have to learn it. So who are you

1156
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,120
Speaker 2: being exposed to that is giving you the lessons in

1157
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 2: the game in real estate? And then on the other side,

1158
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 2: it's like a double ass question as you're growing the portfolio,

1159
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,879
Speaker 2: right and you're still a police officer, your officer.

1160
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 5: King no, no, I'm not a police officer.

1161
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 2: No no, no, no, I'm saying not now. Yeah, I know

1162
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen we said we're done right as you're doing it, Yeah,

1163
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 2: I'm sure your colleagues are looking at you like, hey,

1164
00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,879
Speaker 2: we're going to watch the game at the law's house

1165
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 2: and they're like, wait, how is he doing? Are they

1166
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 2: now looking at you to be a mentor? Like your

1167
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,880
Speaker 2: colleagues is looking into you like how's that work? So

1168
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 2: you're getting are you getting advice from somebody? And then

1169
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:42,719
Speaker 2: now are you giving it?

1170
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:43,399
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1171
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 3: So back then, bru it wasn't many people that I

1172
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:49,800
Speaker 3: could go to. It was kind of like I was

1173
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 3: a pioneer in my area right in the police department.

1174
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 3: It wasn't any other multimillion dollar police officers out there

1175
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 3: buying real estate that I know of, And so I

1176
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 3: was going through doors and uncharted waters. You know, I

1177
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 3: was one of the first people that I know of

1178
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 3: that was actually just going out here buying up all

1179
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 3: this real estate, and so they had your level of

1180
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 3: exposure with the terminal level of success.

1181
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,759
Speaker 6: I got exposed to the type of life.

1182
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 3: That I wanted from a friend of mine, you know,

1183
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 3: that was actually an NFL guy, and so he was

1184
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:24,280
Speaker 3: the one that was playing in an NFL that showed.

1185
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 5: Me what money really looked like like.

1186
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:27,120
Speaker 6: I had no clue.

1187
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 3: If it was up to me, if I never would

1188
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 3: have got exposed to him, I would have probably just

1189
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 3: been a million dollar cop living in a basic house,

1190
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:38,280
Speaker 3: right driving a basic cop, because I didn't know any different.

1191
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 3: It wasn't until I seen him living in a ten

1192
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 3: thousand square foot house. Bro Phillis man, I'm a police

1193
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,480
Speaker 3: officer making thirty six thousand dollars. This friend of mine

1194
00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 3: was my college teammate, and he was living in a

1195
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 3: ten thousand score foot house. And when I saw this,

1196
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 3: it left an impression on me. I mean just it

1197
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 3: did something to me that I promise you still burns

1198
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 3: in me today. Because I couldn't even afford at the

1199
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:02,439
Speaker 3: time to take my wife to Sizzler. You know, I'm

1200
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:04,439
Speaker 3: not talking about the real you know, restaurant, talking about

1201
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,280
Speaker 3: I couldn't have. It was things that I couldn't afford

1202
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 3: to do, and I was still living, you know, in

1203
00:51:10,239 --> 00:51:13,880
Speaker 3: my parents' house. And it wasn't until I got that exposure, right,

1204
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 3: And that's what this whole your level of exposure to

1205
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 3: termin your love of success. I was seeing, like when

1206
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 3: I went to go visit him, the first time I

1207
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 3: seen little kids they had. They were walking to school,

1208
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 3: and everybody that was walking to school head on the

1209
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 3: plat outfit. And I was like, what is it about

1210
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 3: these plaid outfits? Nobody in Chicago's wearing plaid outfits because

1211
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 3: you went to public school. These kids, though, all he

1212
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 3: had these plaid outfits, and I was like, man, they

1213
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 3: go to private school.

1214
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:37,960
Speaker 6: I took that image.

1215
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 3: I didn't even know the type of school that I

1216
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 3: wanted my kids to go to, but I knew that

1217
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 3: whatever school it.

1218
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 6: Was, they better be wearing plaid outfits.

1219
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 2: You know.

1220
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 3: I knew that I didn't have a vision of like

1221
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 3: a house for myself. I took that image of the

1222
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 3: ten thousand score foot house and then unconsciously, because I

1223
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 3: was exposed to that unconsciously. Now I got a twenty

1224
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 3: thousand score foot house and I had to twenty thousand

1225
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 3: score for the house as a police officer.

1226
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:06,359
Speaker 2: That that that's twenty thousand feature, Bruh.

1227
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 3: I had a twenty thousand score for the house as

1228
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 3: a police officer. And I'll be careful to I never

1229
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 3: really even showed my house on social media because I'm

1230
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 3: not I didn't.

1231
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:14,720
Speaker 6: Do it for the ground.

1232
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 3: I wasn't doing it for other people, broh. I just

1233
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 3: remembered that that that whole thing where I.

1234
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:22,040
Speaker 6: Just want more.

1235
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 3: I come from a family a blue collar people, and

1236
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 3: it's just like I've seen people rub work. I've seen

1237
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 3: people work twenty thirty years and never have thinking that

1238
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 3: they live in life, you know, thinking that they really

1239
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 3: live in.

1240
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 6: Life, brub.

1241
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 3: But it wasn't until I realized it's really started living

1242
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 3: life to notice, to really understand that people really wasn't living.

1243
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 6: And so I said, like, I want to have my

1244
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 6: family experience experienced.

1245
00:52:46,760 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 3: All the real the real life experience what it feels

1246
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:52,480
Speaker 3: like to be a in a twenty thousand score for

1247
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 3: the house with an indoor swimming pool, to be in

1248
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 3: a twenty thousand school house with indoor basketball court, with

1249
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 3: indoor bro.

1250
00:52:58,400 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 6: I got to the point we put a nightclub on

1251
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 6: the top floor of a house.

1252
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 3: It's a literal just because I wanted my wife and

1253
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 3: not to be able to be able to have friends

1254
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,400
Speaker 3: come over and go experience that life, you know, in

1255
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 3: the night.

1256
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 6: And we were doing all this.

1257
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 3: I was leaving work in my police uniform going over

1258
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 3: to imagining my coworkers coming to this house and I'm

1259
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 3: still working just like them, you know, I'm a police officer,

1260
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 3: just like them. And what it did was unconsciously, it

1261
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,279
Speaker 3: made them say that they want to they want to

1262
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 3: go to the next level too. I never told people

1263
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 3: that they need to get in real estate. I wasn't

1264
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:32,160
Speaker 3: that type of person that's like, hey man, you need

1265
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 3: to get real estate, you need to do this, you

1266
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 3: need to do that.

1267
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 2: No.

1268
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 3: I would just showed them. I would show them what

1269
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 3: real estate could do. And I think that's what people

1270
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 3: go wrong get you you're not making it real. I

1271
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 3: made real estate real to the point where I was like,

1272
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,240
Speaker 3: look this phenomenal life that I got.

1273
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 6: It didn't come from promotion. Bro. The average promotion.

1274
00:53:51,719 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 3: On my job was like seven thousand dollars and then

1275
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 3: you gotta work five years in at one position to

1276
00:53:57,960 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 3: go to the next grade. And then if you have

1277
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:01,960
Speaker 3: to get promoted, if you was lucky enough, you was

1278
00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 3: only making like seven thousand dollars where I would buy

1279
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 3: one property every time they gave a promotional test, I

1280
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 3: would buy one property, and that one property would make

1281
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 3: me a minimum of two thousand dollars net cash flow

1282
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 3: every single month. So that was twenty four thousand dollars.

1283
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 3: By the time that I was twenty six years old,

1284
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 3: I was making more than almost every position I could

1285
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 3: have got promoted to in the police department. I saved

1286
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 3: ten years of my life from promotion. And what does

1287
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 3: that do to you? That exposure level that you're talking about,

1288
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 3: What does that do like during that time period where

1289
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 3: person is waiting to get promoted, What if that promotion

1290
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 3: ever happens for you?

1291
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 6: What are you doing with your life?

1292
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 3: People talk about promotion, bro, like they talk about the

1293
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 3: lot mega millions. Remember when they just hit the billion

1294
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 3: dollar lottery and everybody was talking about what they would

1295
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,479
Speaker 3: do if they won. Oh, man, I would live here,

1296
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 3: man if I want that lottery, bro, Man, I would dry.

1297
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 6: This, I would get this.

1298
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 3: I would do that, bru People do that same thing

1299
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 3: with promotion on the job where they were talking about,

1300
00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 3: you know, if they get promoted, they're gonna send they

1301
00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 3: care kids to this school. If they get promoted, they

1302
00:55:02,239 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 3: would retire their spouse to live in this kind of house.

1303
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 3: I was showing them that you did not have to

1304
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 3: wait for promotion. You was literally one proper year way.

1305
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,359
Speaker 3: So I was exposing them in that kind of way.

1306
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 3: And then I had police officers now ask me, Jay,

1307
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 3: how do you do it? How did you do it?

1308
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 5: And I just.

1309
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 3: Literally bro would show them, Brouh, this property can take

1310
00:55:22,960 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 3: care of this in your life.

1311
00:55:24,680 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 6: Like Bruh, you.

1312
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 3: Sitting here, you've been on this job for twenty years

1313
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:29,400
Speaker 3: and you're still in the same position. You took ten

1314
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 3: promotional tests and never got promoted. Look at everything you

1315
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 3: done missed out on in life. I remember when you

1316
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 3: first started working with me and you were saying you

1317
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 3: was gonna send your kids to private school. The second

1318
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,799
Speaker 3: you got promoted. You never got promoted to your kids

1319
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 3: never went to private school. And it's like, brother, you

1320
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:47,320
Speaker 3: can't put your life on hold. So I would expose

1321
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,279
Speaker 3: them in that kind of way, and in now, and

1322
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:53,400
Speaker 3: my closest friends especially, they all got real estate and

1323
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:55,399
Speaker 3: they're all now living that type of life. They've been

1324
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 3: exposed to that. So but I can't say that. You know,

1325
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 3: it was other people like my friend as uncle that

1326
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,560
Speaker 3: showed me things, but it was also my friend who

1327
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 3: he just showed me exactly that I knew I couldn't

1328
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,240
Speaker 3: play in the NFL right that door was closed.

1329
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 6: But he showed me what it looked like. It gave

1330
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:12,680
Speaker 6: me something to work towards.

1331
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 3: And I think that that's why exposure is so pivotal

1332
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 3: in people lives, bro, Like you got to step outside

1333
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 3: of your surroundings.

1334
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,239
Speaker 6: You got to know what you're working for.

1335
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 3: And people just go to work every single day without

1336
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 3: like without setting a bar for theirself, like.

1337
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,839
Speaker 6: Knowing why they doing what they doing. Like life is short, bro.

1338
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 3: I done work with people now, not even just the

1339
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:36,720
Speaker 3: people I worked with on the police department for seven years.

1340
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 3: I worked as the wagon person. I literally drove around

1341
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 3: the city of Chicago. We talked about my district. I

1342
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,760
Speaker 3: drove around the city of Chicago, and my only responsibility

1343
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 3: was putting bodies and body bigs. I literally it was

1344
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,640
Speaker 3: so many people that got killed so many people got

1345
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 3: killed that year. My only job was to work the

1346
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 3: meat wagon and we would drive around the city of

1347
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 3: Chicago and put bodies and body beigs and it's like

1348
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:00,920
Speaker 3: bro the bodies that we put in we had to

1349
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 3: go through their pockets. We had to like literally before

1350
00:57:03,880 --> 00:57:05,800
Speaker 3: we took them to the more, we had to inventory

1351
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 3: whatever they had in their pockets. And it was people

1352
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 3: that was in there, the head paycheck, stubbs, that was uncash.

1353
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 6: Movie tickets.

1354
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 3: They had all these different things in their pockets because

1355
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 3: they did not know that they were gonna die. And

1356
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 3: now it did something to me at that moment where

1357
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 3: I was just like, Bruh, I have to live life

1358
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 3: while I'm still alive. You don't know how much time

1359
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 3: you actually have. And for me, bru that that exposure

1360
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 3: just made me. It was exposure from a good way,

1361
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:35,880
Speaker 3: right from my friend to exposure of seeing people pass

1362
00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 3: away at young ages, and that did something to me

1363
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 3: and said, I have to live different. I don't know

1364
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 3: how much time I got left, but whatever time I

1365
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 3: have left, I'm gonna do what I got to do

1366
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 3: for my family while I'm still here and I don't

1367
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 3: have to be you know, I think people got the

1368
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 3: misconception where they think that you have to be talented.

1369
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 3: They think that you have to you know, hit it

1370
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 3: big or or you know, become a you know, play basketball,

1371
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 3: play football, you know that we do in our community,

1372
00:58:01,040 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 3: become a rapper.

1373
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 5: Bruh.

1374
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:03,919
Speaker 6: The playing field is even.

1375
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:04,840
Speaker 5: I looked at real estate.

1376
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 6: That's something that everybody can do. It's simple.

1377
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 5: So I'm saying that, how do you turn nine to

1378
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 5: five money into real estate wealth?

1379
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 3: How do you turn nine to five money to real

1380
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 3: estate wealth? You invest one property at a time. You

1381
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 3: pay yourself first. You take that money. You understand, you know,

1382
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 3: a lot of people they find ways to save up for,

1383
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 3: you know, for emergency fund. People need to understand that

1384
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 3: you are every day is an emergency. Every day that

1385
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 3: you're alive is an emergency. You don't have time anymore.

1386
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 3: You take that money, you save up for your first

1387
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,920
Speaker 3: down payment on your investment property. You do it one

1388
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 3: property at time. I didn't go buy three hundred and

1389
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 3: eighty units all at one time. I did this over

1390
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 3: the last twenty years, and I had a building to

1391
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 3: cover every single expense in my life, as opposed to

1392
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 3: depending on my paycheck on my job. If you depend

1393
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 3: on your pay and I don't brother. You gotta really

1394
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:01,560
Speaker 3: think about this. JA paid you one hundred percent of

1395
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:05,240
Speaker 3: your salary while you're working, right when you're retire. I've

1396
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 3: never seen a company to pay you still one hundred

1397
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 3: percent in retirement. And I never heard of a person

1398
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 3: say that one hundred percent of my money was enough.

1399
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 3: So if you're working in one hundred percent of your

1400
00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 3: salary is not enough for you to live the way

1401
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 3: you want to live, then what makes you think you're

1402
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 3: gonna retire and then all of a sudden that's gonna

1403
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 3: be enough money for you to live like you have to.

1404
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 3: Your job is not meant to you for you to

1405
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 3: live one. Your job is meant for you to use

1406
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 3: that money to leverage it to invest so that you

1407
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:32,440
Speaker 3: can create the life that you want to live from

1408
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 3: your investments.

1409
00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 2: That you said something about the daycare, and it just

1410
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 2: strugled me because I remember the cost for daycare I

1411
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 2: have two children paying it, and then realizing sometimes it

1412
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 2: could be subsidized. But then I thought, I started thinking,

1413
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 2: like McDonald's understands so of like most people think it's

1414
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 2: a fast food restaurant, but it's really a real estate play,

1415
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 2: and so the daycare is do you own the properties obviously,

1416
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,320
Speaker 2: so it's a real estate play and as a business

1417
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 2: inside of it. Correct, And then are some of the

1418
01:00:00,160 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 2: like obviously you have people coming in or is it

1419
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 2: government funded as well part of it? How does that work?

1420
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 3: So the great part about it was, like I said,

1421
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 3: you have to look at the ecosystem that you have.

1422
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 3: So so, because my daycare center is in the inner city,

1423
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 3: you know, Inglewood, right, most of my parents are I

1424
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 3: think eighty Now I've take that back. Ninety percent of

1425
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:25,200
Speaker 3: our parents are single parents. And when they're filling out

1426
01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 3: because they're getting their subsidies, it's just like having Section

1427
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 3: eight and it's sometimes it's the same qualifications, same income.

1428
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 3: So when my wife would have them fill out their

1429
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 3: their paperwork to get child care, to get free child care, right,

1430
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 3: I would actually look at their paperwork and then I

1431
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 3: would see that these same people qualify for Section eight.

1432
01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 5: Where do you live? Hey, where do you live?

1433
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 2: Now?

1434
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 3: Here? It is much income everything now here. It is

1435
01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 3: you're putting your child in my daycare. So you trust me,

1436
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 3: you trust us, So if you trust us with your child,

1437
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 3: you definitely trust us where you live.

1438
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 6: So now here it is you've live in the commune unity.

1439
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 3: Because most parents they want to, you know, have a

1440
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 3: club daycare center that's close to where they live.

1441
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 6: So I would fix up a property. I would go.

1442
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 3: Buy properties all around a one mile radius of my

1443
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:12,000
Speaker 3: daycare centers. And then not only would I rent to

1444
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 3: a police offer, and I rent not only would I

1445
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 3: have you know, police officers in my daycare center, but

1446
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 3: I would have my teachers.

1447
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,600
Speaker 6: Right, I would rent to the teacher staff. They would

1448
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 6: be right there in the same community.

1449
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 3: I don't have to convince them to live in the

1450
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 3: community because they are already from the community.

1451
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 6: And so I would go put pictures.

1452
01:01:27,320 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 3: We have this on parent board up right that always

1453
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 3: talks about like field trips and different things about the childcare.

1454
01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 3: I would put properties up, you know, nice pictures with

1455
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,880
Speaker 3: fresh paint on the walls and different rehabs, and I

1456
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:40,959
Speaker 3: would put there for a rent. And knew that parents

1457
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 3: are already had Section eight and so we knew that

1458
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 3: would be guaranteed money. So here is we got one

1459
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 3: hundred parents. I was working with fifteen thousand cops. We

1460
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 3: got one hundred parents in our daycare centers. These are

1461
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:55,640
Speaker 3: also one hundred renters that need a place to stay.

1462
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 2: Brilliant, brilliant.

1463
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 5: So, all right, situation, where is the qualification start a daycare?

1464
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 5: You have to get like certified by the state. You

1465
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 5: have to, yeah, have like and what kind of buildings

1466
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 5: did you turn You say you turned the church into

1467
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 5: a daycare?

1468
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:11,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, first Decadre Center, it was a church.

1469
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:12,959
Speaker 5: You own the church.

1470
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 3: I bought the church was in foreclosure and so I

1471
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 3: bought the church and then we turned it into a

1472
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 3: daycare center.

1473
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 5: So all right, so yeah, what's the qualification? You got

1474
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 5: to get teachers certified? Like, yeah, So as far.

1475
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 3: As the qualifications to own the center, you know, you

1476
01:02:29,200 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 3: definitely first have to have the location. You don't have

1477
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 3: to own the location, but you have to have a location.

1478
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 3: And then you have to take a one day class.

1479
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 3: And you have this thing that's called my wife calls

1480
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 3: it the Bible of child care, and it breaks down

1481
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 3: every single thing that you need, all of the qualifications

1482
01:02:43,760 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 3: that you need, what your staff needs. You have a

1483
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:49,960
Speaker 3: formula to how many children you can have in the place.

1484
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 3: You know, it's like thirty five scuore flip per each child,

1485
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 3: depending on the age group of the child. You have

1486
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 3: to have a certain amount of bathrooms in there, and

1487
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:58,840
Speaker 3: so they come in. It's just like section eight where

1488
01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 3: they come in inspect the property and they tell you

1489
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 3: exactly how many kids you're going to be able to

1490
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 3: have in this daycare center and you go to that

1491
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 3: one day licensing class. And then now you have to

1492
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 3: have certified staff, so you have to make sure that

1493
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 3: your staff. And they've changed it over years. Now is

1494
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 3: a bachelor's degree for your director. Before it was just

1495
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 3: you know, they just needed two years of early childhood education.

1496
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just gonna say two years of early

1497
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 2: childhood education. Now, yeah, they've obviously changed it. So how

1498
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 2: many daycares do we have? Now? Obviously you started with

1499
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 2: the church. How many in the portfolio?

1500
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 3: Yes, so we got four daycares, four houses. No, no,

1501
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 3: they're all commercial commercial building. Yeah, they're all commercial buildings.

1502
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 3: So our first one was a church that we turned

1503
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 3: into a daycare center. The one, our second one was

1504
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 3: right across the street, that was cleaners, that was the

1505
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 3: dragt cleaners that we turned into a daycare center. The

1506
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,320
Speaker 3: third one was an existing daycare center that was shut

1507
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 3: down for three years. And then the fourth one is

1508
01:03:54,440 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 3: is in a one half senior home another half apartment

1509
01:03:57,440 --> 01:04:01,040
Speaker 3: complex is two hundred and thirty seven unit building. We

1510
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 3: don't own the building, but we actually have. We owned

1511
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 3: the daycare center inside of the building.

1512
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 5: And what's the ages.

1513
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,919
Speaker 3: For the kids zero to six years old? Six weeks

1514
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 3: to six years old? So what do you have the

1515
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:14,840
Speaker 3: kids doing? Just like playing with toyson?

1516
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 6: Oh no, we have a curriculum yeah yeah, oh yeah,

1517
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 6: learning center.

1518
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, no, it's.

1519
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 3: Actually a curriculum that we actually have for that you're teaching, yeah, absolutely, yeah, yeah, yeah,

1520
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 3: so we're teaching them, you know.

1521
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just like you having any preschool. It's just

1522
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:28,880
Speaker 6: it's just it's.

1523
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 2: Preschool, y'all offering like all day pre k types yep.

1524
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 3: And at one point we shut it down before COVID,

1525
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 3: but at one point we had twenty four hours, oh

1526
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 3: for the cops and stuff. Yeah, for the cops, for

1527
01:04:38,280 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 3: firemen and things like that. And it's crazy because it's

1528
01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 3: the same building.

1529
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 6: So they gave it.

1530
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 3: If they gave us one hundred kids license for daytime care,

1531
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 3: then you also get one hundred kid license for night

1532
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 3: time care, and so you're doubling your revenue just off

1533
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 3: of the same facility.

1534
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 2: Are you looking to scale that because I'm thinking, like,

1535
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 2: obviously you have four, you don't really need marketing because

1536
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 2: it's the ecosystem is with them. Are you looking to

1537
01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 2: scale it outside of four? You're trying to add more

1538
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 2: to it?

1539
01:05:03,440 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 3: What we were at one point we were you know,

1540
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 3: at one point, man, I had this bright idea. I

1541
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 3: was like, look, man, we making one hundred thousand dollars

1542
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 3: per daycare center. I was telling my wife, Man, we

1543
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 3: get ten daycare centers the same kind of size and

1544
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 3: can hold the same amount of kids. I said, bro,

1545
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 3: we're gonna make a million dollars a month. Man, we

1546
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 3: can make a million dollars a month. And my wife

1547
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:20,400
Speaker 3: was on board with it. She was like, Oh, let's

1548
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 3: do it. And then all of a sudden, man, we

1549
01:05:22,840 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 3: had about five hundred kids and my wife was like, oh,

1550
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 3: it's a lot to manage it. It was a lot.

1551
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:32,120
Speaker 3: And then you're not talking about real estate, right. Real

1552
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 3: estate is a little bit different. It's a property. It's

1553
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,880
Speaker 3: a building. You know, people go there, they live there,

1554
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 3: they take care of their own self. You don't even

1555
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 3: have to see your tenants until it's time to pay rent.

1556
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,720
Speaker 3: And now they got it where you can just send it.

1557
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:44,560
Speaker 3: You know, you could just vemo or whatever, just send

1558
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 3: the money cash out. But when you're talking about people's children,

1559
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 3: it's a little bit different.

1560
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 4: Man.

1561
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 3: It was just like it became to the point we

1562
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 3: had little kids in there having seizures sometimes medical conditions.

1563
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 3: You know, it just got to the point where it's like, Okay,

1564
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 3: this is a little bit different type of business. And

1565
01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:02,919
Speaker 3: my wife kind of was And she's the one that's

1566
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 3: you know, runs the day to day. I'm the visionary. Remember,

1567
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 3: I'm the one to come up with the vision. I

1568
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 3: could start any business. But my wife was the one

1569
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 3: to say, okay, let me be the one to manage

1570
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:14,040
Speaker 3: the day to day. And she kind of was like,

1571
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 3: you know, we don't need to scale it too much,

1572
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,840
Speaker 3: Like this is comfortable for me. Anything over this is

1573
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 3: going to start feeling like a job.

1574
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 2: So four hundredousand a.

1578
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 3: So my brother working like my brother brother had my

Speaker 3: brother in the newspaper one time as making one of

01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 3: state employees in the state.

1582
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:48,040

01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 3: He still is a cop. Yeah, my brother still is

1584
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:53,160
Speaker 3: a cop. He has what about eighteen months left before retirement.

1585
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 3: Shout out to Tommy. And they had my brother in

1586
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 3: the newspaper as one of the highest paid state employees

1587
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 3: because my brother was making over a three hundred fifty

1588
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 3: thousand dollars as a cop. How overtime His base salary

1589
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 3: is probably about one hundred and thirty and then the

1590
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 3: rest was all overtime. My brother was working that much.

1591
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 3: He's just a hustle. I don't have it in me.

1592
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 3: I mean, he was literally that type of person that

1593
01:07:13,440 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 3: can just work three or four different job he gets

1594
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 3: off work work for the state. They allow cops to work,

1595
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 3: you know, over time for them. And then he was

1596
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 3: doing like other part time things and like sporting events

1597
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 3: and things like.

1598
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 6: That and gone all the time.

1599
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 3: And I was just like, bro, you're making good money,

1600
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 3: but like you can't live off of this, like all right, cool,

1601
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 3: Like you've made this part time work your full time job.

1602
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 3: And it's just like how can you continue to live

1603
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 3: like this? He got two sons, and his sons would

1604
01:07:38,720 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 3: be playing football games and he never could make it

1605
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 3: or he would try to take it.

1606
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 6: It was just rough.

1607
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 5: And then I was just like, man, look, why don't

1608
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 5: we just go ahead and do the same thing that

1609
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 5: you're doing.

1610
01:07:47,160 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 3: We already were. No, my brother's a sergeant, so he

1611
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 3: already commands different people in the state police. Like he

1612
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,440
Speaker 3: literally got people that call him sergeant and that's a

1613
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:57,320
Speaker 3: part of his team. He's like, why don't you take

1614
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:00,560
Speaker 3: the same idea, the same thing that the state is

1615
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 3: paying you for. Why don't you do that for yourself?

1616
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 3: And then at that point, our first contract that we had,

1617
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 3: it was the pipeline. You guys remember the pipeline that

1618
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,280
Speaker 3: they had where they were and what was it called

1619
01:08:12,320 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 3: the North Dakota Pipeline. Oh, yeah, the North Dakota Pipeline.

1620
01:08:15,240 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 3: That was our first contract to secure it. Yeah, to

1621
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 3: secure it. So, so the government was trying to find

1622
01:08:21,800 --> 01:08:25,600
Speaker 3: security companies to secure throughout the state of Illinois. The

1623
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 3: North Dakota Pipeline went all the way from the tip

1624
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 3: of Illinois, and the Illinois is a long state.

1625
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 6: It's not really wide, it's just long. And so from

1626
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 6: the tip.

1627
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 3: Of Illinois all the way down to the bottom, they

1628
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 3: needed a security company to secure it, and so no

1629
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 3: security company you had the man forced to be able

1630
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,600
Speaker 3: to secure because this was like a four month contract.

1631
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,879
Speaker 3: And then it's like, okay, you logistically you need hotels

1632
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 3: for your security guards. It was twenty four hours, so

1633
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 3: they needed security twenty four hours all the way from

1634
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,200
Speaker 3: the tip of Illinois all the way down to the bottom.

1635
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:56,519
Speaker 2: How many people is that you need?

1636
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 5: Oh, brother, I'm.

1637
01:08:57,160 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 6: About to break it down to you.

1638
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:02,799
Speaker 3: My brother, though, Tommy, because he was a state trooper,

1639
01:09:04,080 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 3: he go to ecosystem Again.

1640
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 6: My brother was able to go.

1641
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 3: From the state polices all the way from the tip

1642
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 3: all the way down to the bottom. Chicago Police is

1643
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,679
Speaker 3: only in Chicago. So my brother being a state trooper,

1644
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 3: he was able to get in contact with every single

1645
01:09:18,320 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 3: state police department along the pipeline map and he was

1646
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 3: able to contact each of them and find out, you know,

1647
01:09:24,200 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 3: who wanted to work part time for this pipeline and

1648
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,519
Speaker 3: who wanted to do it. And so we had a meeting.

1649
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 3: We had every single I'm talking about, We had state

1650
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 3: troopers from the country. Brother, I'm talking about from like Farmertown,

1651
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 3: and they all came and we had a big meeting

1652
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 3: and they found out that it was us his two

1653
01:09:38,880 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 3: black guys, and ninety nine percent of our workers all

1654
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:44,679
Speaker 3: you know, white guys from different parts of the state.

1655
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:46,720
Speaker 3: But yeah, we had the contract and we were one

1656
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 3: of the only companies that was able to fulfill that

1657
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 3: contract because my brother was able to hire state police officers.

1658
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 3: Look within his network, he was able to hire state

1659
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 3: police officer to cover that. And I mean, bro, that

1660
01:09:57,760 --> 01:09:59,360
Speaker 3: was a multimillion dollar contract.

1661
01:09:59,600 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 2: People.

1662
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 6: We probably had at least about sixty five people.

1663
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:06,600
Speaker 3: I thought that mean, yeah, it's not that many, but

1664
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:07,880
Speaker 3: it was the responsibility.

1665
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 2: I mean, they built it. They're trying to build the pipe,

1666
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:11,640
Speaker 2: so they're just standing there like the.

1667
01:10:13,200 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 5: Situation.

1668
01:10:13,640 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 3: Yes, and they was paying. They were paying for like knowledge,

1669
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 3: So you're being your own squad, your own personal car,

1670
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 3: and literally your responsibility was to just we had these

1671
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:25,280
Speaker 3: coordinates of where the pipeline was, and I mean they

1672
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 3: kept it real hush hush, and then the responsibility was

1673
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 3: to you had checkpoints along these coordinates, and the responsibility

1674
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 3: was to drive up and down the highway. During that era,

1675
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 3: because it was people, it was an indigenous a lot

1676
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 3: of protests, Yeah, it was a lot of protests, and

1677
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 3: they had a lot of indigenous people that was kind

1678
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 3: of like fighting against it because there was a lot

1679
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 3: of sacred land and things like that that it was hidden.

1680
01:10:46,160 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 6: And they said, yeah, so bruh, let me tell you

Speaker 6: real quick story.

1682

Speaker 6: Bigfoot and he was like bro. Like I was like, bro,

1701
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:31,679
Speaker 6: this can't be real.

1702
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,719
Speaker 3: And my man was like literally talking to us talking

1703
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 3: about the pipeline and that they have different people that's

1704
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 3: trying to sabotage the pipeline and things like that, and

1705
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 3: he's like a spy within the within these different tribes. Yeah,

1706
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 3: he was a federal agent, but he was working as

1707
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,639
Speaker 3: a spy. They had helicopters. They put numbers on each

1708
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 3: one of our cars. They had helicopters that would drive

1709
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 3: a fly by and they would see your number, that

1710
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,720
Speaker 3: everybody's cell phone here like a panic coat or if

1711
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,599
Speaker 3: something happened, you push this button and then literally it'll

1712
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 3: bring the the I couldn't even talk about this before,

1713
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 3: but now you know, it was over with years ago.

1714
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 3: So this was our first security contract, and like I said,

1715
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:09,640
Speaker 3: it was the wildest thing and it was kind of

1716
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 3: one of the things where you'd be like, I don't know, man,

1717
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 3: it don't sound right.

1718
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 6: It just don't.

1719
01:12:14,080 --> 01:12:16,320
Speaker 3: It's just don't you know what I'm especially when when Bigfoot

1720
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 3: came in there and I was like, hold on, man,

1721
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 3: it's kind of iffy.

1722
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 6: But now it ended up working out.

1723
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 2: Man.

1724
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 3: We was making almost like a million dollars a month

1725
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 3: on it. Yeah, and so that was our first security contract,

1726
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:29,560
Speaker 3: brou and it took off from there. Yeah that's crazy,

1727
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:30,599
Speaker 3: all right.

1728
01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:32,680
Speaker 5: So so you got that, and then from there you

1729
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:38,839
Speaker 5: just so the security, you secure venues or people, everything, everything.

1730
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 3: So right now we got it's three naming markets is

1731
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:47,240
Speaker 3: in Chicago and we're in all three. We have apartment buildings,

1732
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 3: we do sporting events, we do a lot of So

1733
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 3: there you go again, ecosystem property managers. While a lot

1734
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,720
Speaker 3: of people were out here trying to find security contracts.

1735
01:12:59,080 --> 01:13:01,480
Speaker 3: You know, all I did was connect with property managers

1736
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 3: and so I know, like your large complexes, the city

1737
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 3: and state law that they must have security. I don't

1738
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 3: know if it's anywhere else, but in Chicago they must

1739
01:13:11,439 --> 01:13:14,799
Speaker 3: have security. And so as a point, and the people

1740
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 3: that pick the security companies are the project managers are

1741
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 3: the property managers rather, and so you got a lot

1742
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 3: of property managers that have multiple properties in their portfolio.

1743
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:27,640
Speaker 3: And so all you got to do is get in

1744
01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 3: good with one property manager and then now they're bringing

1745
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,720
Speaker 3: different buildings to you as opposed you going out here

1746
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:37,000
Speaker 3: trying to search for different properties to do security yet

1747
01:13:37,200 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 3: and so that's how we got in with a lot

1748
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 3: of and so we got three major property management companies

1749
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 3: in Illinois that we do security for and they constantly

1750
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 3: contact us whenever they get a new property under their portfolio.

1751
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 5: And most of your guys are cops. No, so we

1752
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:50,880
Speaker 5: have both.

1753
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 3: We have police side and then we also have armed

1754
01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 3: security and unarmed security.

1755
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 5: And you do you do it for people also?

1776
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 2: you know I was. I saw one of your posts

1777
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 2: and you were talking about how intention you are about

1778
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 2: doing things and making sure that people see especially your kids,

1779
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 2: saying like my kids got a trainer. Every one of

1780
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:51,680
Speaker 2: them has a trainer because they've seen you do it.

1781
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 2: It's custom to them. Can you talk about the role

1782
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 2: of leading intentionally like that?

1783
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:58,599
Speaker 6: Yeah, so you know, I got this thing, man.

1784
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:02,639
Speaker 3: Every single day I wake up, all right, every single day,

1785
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 3: I like people ask me, like, you know, what's.

1786
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 6: My daily schedule?

1787
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:10,840
Speaker 3: Like, and I got these five pillars that every single day,

1788
01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:17,719
Speaker 3: this is my day, Faith, Family, finance, fitness, and freedom. Faith, Family, finance, fitness,

1789
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:19,759
Speaker 3: and freedom. Every single day, I don't go to sleep

1790
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,639
Speaker 3: until I have invested in all five of those pillars.

1791
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 5: And so it's.

1792
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:27,320
Speaker 3: Important for me. I believe that you are always showing

1793
01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:30,720
Speaker 3: your kids something, even when you're not trying to. You're

1794
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,720
Speaker 3: teaching them something, from the way you eat, to the

1795
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 3: way you manage your money, to the way you treat

1796
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 3: your spouse, you know, to the way you treat your body.

1797
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 3: So every single day I don't necessarily work out just

1798
01:15:41,280 --> 01:15:43,160
Speaker 3: for me. I work out because I know my children

1799
01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:46,680
Speaker 3: are watching. They watching every single thing I do. And

1800
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 3: so it's like it's important for me not only to

1801
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:51,160
Speaker 3: just make sure that I'm working out, but making sure

1802
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 3: that I'm treating your mother right. You know, I got

Speaker 6: You know.

1818
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:36,759
Speaker 3: Imagine though, if I had a different kind of life

1819
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:39,800
Speaker 3: and then my son, I'd be like, hey, CJ's daughter

1820
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:40,759
Speaker 3: is my baby mama.

1821
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 6: You know CJ's daughter.

1822
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 2: You know.

1823
01:16:42,600 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 3: So he's he sees that in a way because that's

1824
01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 3: what he's been exposed to, you know, in that same

1825
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 3: kind of way.

1826
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 2: You know.

1827
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 3: First thing I do is I work on my faith

1828
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 3: every single day. I just focus on one scripture. Every

1829
01:16:56,040 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 3: single day. I focus on one scripture and I build

1830
01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 3: my faith up And the reason why I do that

1831
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 3: is because I know that being an entrepreneur, just being

1832
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:05,639
Speaker 3: just myself doing the things that we do, you're gonna

1833
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:08,920
Speaker 3: have to have like like, like what entrepreneur you know

1834
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 3: is successful that don't have a level of faith. But

1835
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 3: a dude, what is faith? Faith is the substance of

1836
01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:17,640
Speaker 3: things hoped for, the evidence of things not seeing you

1837
01:17:17,760 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 3: guys started this podcast from this location, right, and it

1838
01:17:22,600 --> 01:17:23,599
Speaker 3: was built off of faith.

1839
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 6: Like you didn't. I don't know if you knew.

1840
01:17:25,479 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 3: I've seen what you wrote down though, but y'all wrote

1841
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:29,759
Speaker 3: down the whole business plan and what you was trying

1842
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 3: to figure out the name of it, the different things

1843
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,680
Speaker 3: like that that work. There was faith, Yeah, And I

1844
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,639
Speaker 3: think that a lot of times people don't. They don't

1845
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,879
Speaker 3: build their faith. Faith is a muscle. It's a muscle

1846
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 3: just like any other muscle. If you don't use it,

1847
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,479
Speaker 3: you lose it. And so that's why I think that

1848
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 3: a lot of things I don't have the knowledge of

1849
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 3: things going into it. I'm not gonna sit here and

1850
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 3: act like I'm some crazy guru when it comes to

1851
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 3: certain things I did not have.

1852
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 5: I did not know that I.

1853
01:17:57,439 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 6: Was going to be doing what I'm doing now in

1854
01:17:58,800 --> 01:17:59,320
Speaker 6: real estate.

1855
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 3: I didn't know that when we did that first daycare

1856
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 3: center that we would be having for daycare centers and

1857
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 3: we would be raising people care.

1858
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 6: For the last seventeen years.

1859
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 3: It has not been one year that we have not

1860
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:13,120
Speaker 3: made a million dollars over the last seventeen years. I

1861
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 3: didn't know it. I didn't have the knowledge at the

1862
01:18:15,960 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 3: time either. I didn't have the knowledge at the time

1863
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 3: starting a security company.

1864
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:20,840
Speaker 6: Bruh.

1865
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,160
Speaker 3: I'm traveling the world right now with the number one

1866
01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 3: motivational speaker in the world. I've been on stages four

1867
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:30,320
Speaker 3: thousand people. Five thousand people just did invest fst I've

1868
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 3: never been to any kind of speaking school, i never

1869
01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:33,360
Speaker 3: had any kind of training.

1870
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:37,160
Speaker 6: All of that comes from faith, though, it comes from.

1871
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,600
Speaker 3: And I was prepared because over the years I've always

1872
01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:42,920
Speaker 3: worked on my faith muscle, and so now when the

1873
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:46,559
Speaker 3: opportunity presents itself, I'm ready, not because I got this

1874
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 3: crazy knowledge, but because I believe. And so those are

1875
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 3: the different things man that faith, family, finance. Every single day,

1876
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 3: I'm working on the five pillars with my family. Pillar

1877
01:18:56,560 --> 01:19:00,639
Speaker 3: is not about just spending time with family, setting your

1878
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 3: family up. Each one of my kids got a trust account.

1879
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 3: I tell people all the time, there's no reason why

1880
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 3: your children, everybody's children and twenty twenty two is not

1881
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 3: gonna be millionaires.

1882
01:19:12,640 --> 01:19:13,479
Speaker 6: It's too simple.

1883
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:16,680
Speaker 3: Right now, I got a building for each one of

1884
01:19:16,720 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 3: my children, and the net profit from the building goes

1885
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 3: to their investment account. So now by the time my

1886
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 3: children are my age at forty years old, each one

1887
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,400
Speaker 3: of them will have millions in the bank because of

1888
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 3: compound and interest.

1889
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 6: It's like, it's that simple.

1890
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:33,639
Speaker 3: But because your faith pillar is low, because you don't

1891
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 3: believe that that's possible, then you'll never even get started

1892
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:40,599
Speaker 3: into doing something like that. And so bruh, it's those

1893
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 3: are the things that I feel like, you know, I

1894
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 3: lead by example by showing my family every single day

1895
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:48,120
Speaker 3: the type of man that I am. I get up

1896
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 3: every single day. If somebody want to know what I'm

1897
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:51,559
Speaker 3: doing or where I'm at, all they got to do

1898
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 3: is find me in the five pillars.

1899
01:19:54,960 --> 01:19:58,919
Speaker 5: Befo we leave. I want to talk about Scott's car building. Yeh, Chicago.

1900
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:02,599
Speaker 5: So you're on the developments. It showed us the picture

1901
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 5: very impressive, so talk about that.

1902
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, so man, this is a skyscraper.

1903
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 3: Brother, this is another thing that goes to the faith,

1904
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:13,640
Speaker 3: something that I've never done before. No, I don't have

1905
01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 3: any expertise in building skyscrapers. The most I've done was

1906
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:20,640
Speaker 3: my house was ten thousand score feet when I bought it,

1907
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 3: and I added another ten thousand score feet to my house.

1908
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:25,720
Speaker 3: That's the only development that I've ever done. But my

1909
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:31,600
Speaker 3: business partners Johnny Mullins, Mark Bufort, Damon Stewart, and Gerald Williams.

1910
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:35,920
Speaker 3: Johnny Mullins is one of the top black architects and

1911
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 3: developers in the country. He's done over ninety skyscrapers. And

1912
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 3: so my whole thing were just connecting yourself with the

1913
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 3: right people, you know. So, yeah, we have a skyscraper

1914
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 3: that we're doing. I'm not gonna say the location just yet,

1915
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 3: but let's say it's in a very hot area of Chicago.

1916
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:59,719
Speaker 3: And this skyscraper is something that's built by all Black

1917
01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:02,439
Speaker 3: Devils Limit team, and you know, it's something that hasn't

1918
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 3: been done before.

1919
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:04,439
Speaker 6: Not just that it's being.

1920
01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 3: Built by all black development team, but it's owned by

1921
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:11,120
Speaker 3: all black ownership team. And yeah, we all came together

1922
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 3: and it said it's time for us. It's like we

1923
01:21:13,160 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 3: always look to this generation. We look to past people

1924
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:19,120
Speaker 3: and kind of like, oh, man, like, oh they developed this,

1925
01:21:19,200 --> 01:21:22,800
Speaker 3: they developed that. It's our turnout. There's no longer you

1926
01:21:22,840 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 3: know those people. We are those people now. And I

1927
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 3: think a lot of times, you know, with everything, we

1928
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 3: look to the past and it's like, bro, when are

01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 3: this is the development of a seventy million dollar development.

1931
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:38,640
Speaker 3: It is going to change. It's going to be a

1932
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:44,800
Speaker 3: staple in Chicago, and it's being built by us, and man,

1933
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:46,040
Speaker 3: it's going to be life changing.

01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 5: And I was like, man, I now.

1962
01:22:47,520 --> 01:22:48,679
Speaker 6: See how other people feel.

1963
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 3: But man, it was just something man to see because

1964
01:22:51,479 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 3: when we first all got started, you know, we all

1965
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 3: listened to the audio book of Don Peeples and it

1966
01:22:58,439 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 3: was just inspiring.

1967
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:02,640
Speaker 6: To see how he how he hustled bruh in DC.

1968
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:07,280
Speaker 3: And being there with Mayor Barry or was it Marion Barry,

1969
01:23:07,520 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 3: and just to see how he just in a political way,

1970
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 3: came through the ranks and how he was able to

1971
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:13,799
Speaker 3: do what he's doing now. And that's just the inspiration

1972
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:16,680
Speaker 3: Bruther and It goes back to exposure. And I think

1973
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:19,759
Speaker 3: see with me, a lot of people they get excited

1974
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:23,240
Speaker 3: about asking people for stuff, Like how many people get excited.

1975
01:23:23,280 --> 01:23:25,559
Speaker 3: They just like, oh, man, man, Troy and shot they

1976
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:27,519
Speaker 3: doing it. Man, I'm about to man, I'm gonna see man,

1977
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:29,120
Speaker 3: my man, give me some money. I'm gonna see if

1978
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 3: they can look you, bro, I get excited just from

1979
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 3: an exposure. When I get exposed to something. Brother, you

1980
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 3: don't owe me nothing. You don't owe me nothing, because

1981
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:39,639
Speaker 3: I'm gonna take that exposure and I'm gonna run with it,

1982
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 3: and that exposure will last a lifetime. But if you

1983
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 3: give me, you give me five thousand dollars, brud, ten

1984
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,680
Speaker 3: thousand dollars to spend it, it's gonna be gone. But

1985
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,679
Speaker 3: the exposure that you give me, I don't even need

1986
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 3: to ask, brother, exposure. Y'all just gave me an investments, bruh.

1987
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 3: It just let me know that it's possible. Like I said,

1988
01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:59,840
Speaker 3: I love seeing this dog. I love seeing it man too.

1989
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:04,320
Speaker 3: Young black guys. Dog that's genuine been boys since high school.

1990
01:24:04,920 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 3: And y'all out here man educating the right way, showing

1991
01:24:09,040 --> 01:24:11,599
Speaker 3: people not about how to get rich quick, but how

1992
01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 3: to do this, man, How to have a foundation, how

1993
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 3: to do it one property at a time, one investment

1994
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 3: at the time, one start. Y'all are broad and everything

1995
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 3: that y'all do, and what's gonna come from this? How

1996
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 3: many other Rashaan Troy's dog is coming up because they

1997
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:27,720
Speaker 3: see y'all doing this and know it's possible. So I

1998
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:29,639
Speaker 3: think that people don't really they look at what's going

1999
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 3: on now without really thinking about what's the compounding effect

2000
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 3: of what you all are doing. It compounds and I

2001
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 3: don't even know if y'all don't even see the results

2002
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:42,439

2009
01:24:55,400 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 3: it's possible, Like man, please, like hear my heart. Like

2010
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:02,719
Speaker 3: I'm a that was a police officer. I was born

2011
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 3: to blue collar workers. Nine of us are blue collar.

2012
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 3: And I'm sitting here telling somebody out here listening to

2013
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 3: us think that it's not possible for him. They think

2014
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,839
Speaker 3: that you know that you're all somebody special. You are special,

2015
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 3: but they think that you are just over here, You're

2016
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 3: just untouchable. They think that I'm untouchable. They think that

2017
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:25,559
Speaker 3: I've just got lucky. I'm sitting there telling you. One

2018
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 3: thing that we all got in common is that we

2019
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 3: got crazy belief. And that's where it's start. Any investment,

2020
01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:34,960
Speaker 3: anything that you do, it starts with belief first. It's like,

2021
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:37,280
Speaker 3: let that be the foundation of your life. The belief

2022
01:25:37,320 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 3: that you can do it, the belief that it is possible.

2023
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 3: And now the information part is easy. Brother. In my course,

2024
01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:45,720
Speaker 3: I've taught people of real estate in a matter of

2025
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:51,639
Speaker 3: thirty minutes, but it's taking people five years to believe

2026
01:25:52,000 --> 01:25:55,320
Speaker 3: that it's possible. For him, you got the information, but

2027
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:58,640
Speaker 3: you just don't believe. It's like real, just believe and

2028
01:25:58,720 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 3: then go for the information. And so just want to

2029
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 3: let people know, man, like life is not over for you.

2030
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 3: You know you worked here nine to five bruh on

2031
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:08,719

2032
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:11,960
Speaker 3: like they getting choked out. I mean you literally feel

2033
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 3: like you suffocate, like you can't breathe. So I just

2034
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 3: want my life, my message to be like a sense

2035
01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:21,960
Speaker 3: of air form a little sense of oxygen form and

2036
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 3: just no, don'll see me, and don't don't see the

Speaker 3: got exposed to what it was that I wanted in life. Again,
