So, first and foremost, you know, 100 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,279 Speaker 6: being a real to I think you have a unique 101 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 6: perspective on real estate because you see it from a 102 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 6: different angle as opposed to maybe a mortgage book or 103 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 6: maybe just an investor. It's like you, you're on like 104 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 6: every side of the situation, right, absolutely, So, all right, 105 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 6: we're going to talk about realty, and we're going to 106 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 6: talk about real estate, but the first thing I wanted 107 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 6: to talk about is the entrepreneur side. So you were saying, 108 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 6: like when you started, because you could have just continue 109 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 6: to just be a realta and work for somebody, right, 110 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 6: but you started your own company and now you employ 111 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 6: other people. So what made you psychologically want to transition 112 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 6: from working to actually being a boss. 113 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 7: The truth of the matter is, I'm only one person. 114 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 7: The Metro Atlanta area is huge. So when I first 115 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 7: was moving around, if a lot of you guys followed 116 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 7: me on social when I used to have a little 117 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 7: hoster in my car, I'm going from Marietta to South 118 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 7: Atlanta to Cascade, I go back up to Alpharetta back down. 119 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 7: Just you know, working with about four or five clients 120 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 7: a day. You're doing that from seven am to like 121 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 7: ten o'clock at night. You like, wait a minute. You know, 122 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 7: I'm making money, but I can't even. 123 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 3: Enjoy the money. I can't even enjoy the. 124 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 7: Time because I'm always moving.

It's like you're just winging it, and 177 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 6: now you're just making a bunch of mistakes left and right. 178 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 3: You make a lot of mistakes. 179 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 7: I think that a lot of times as entrepreneurs, you 180 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 7: get into business and all the information is in your head, 181 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 7: you know what to do, and you didn't think that 182 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 7: in three years, two years, or even a year, if 183 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 7: you're blessed and you just you know, you blow up, 184 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,959 Speaker 7: that you may need to add people on. So I 185 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 7: would say, the moment you decide to join become an entrepreneur, 186 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 7: write down your systems. If your systems are great, write 187 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 7: them down. If they're not, write them down so you 188 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 7: can find the loopholes in your system to make them better. 189 00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 7: Because but by the time you're training other people, you 190 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 7: need to have your you need to have your systems 191 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 7: in place or they won't be great. 192 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 3: And then it defeats the purpose of you creating the team. 193 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 5: So Atlanta. 194 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 6: We're in Atlanta right now, and I think I like 195 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 6: about Atlanta. 196 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 5: Atlanta like Houston. 197 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 6: It's like when we was out there, everybody that we 198 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 6: ran into was like, I have the largest black dump 199 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 6: truck company. 200 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,160 Speaker 4: You have the largest black sanitation everybody. 201 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 6: Everybody had the largest black largest black fish tank company. 202 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 5: Like everything.

And the 237 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 7: next place you want to invest in is the city 238 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 7: of Decatur. 239 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 3: Three zero zero three two and three zero zero three zero. 240 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 3: Those are the two areas. 241 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 7: They have a twenty one percent twenty one percent growth 242 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 7: and tho in those areas. And I say that to 243 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 7: say those areas are gentrifying. 244 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 5: Those are not. 245 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 3: Those are areas that are in transition. 246 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 7: We need to make sure we invest in those areas 247 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 7: because the next time they say, oh, you know, they 248 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 7: gentrified our area, we couldn't afford it. I'm out here, 249 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 7: I'm working with people every day. You can't afford to 250 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,439 Speaker 7: live in these areas. You don't want to so face 251 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,199 Speaker 7: the facts in ten years from now, if you didn't 252 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 7: invest in that area and now you can afford, it 253 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 7: is your fault. 254 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 2: All right. 255 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,199 Speaker 4: So in these areas, right, what are you said? The 256 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 4: inflation rate? Not inflation, I appreciate apreciation rate. I'm sorry, 257 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 4: it's increasing. Is that public knowledge? 258 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 2: And too? 259 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 5: Some of it is okay? And then what are some 260 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 5: other indicators? Right? 261 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 4: If I'm moving to this area, col what should I 262 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 4: be looking at? Because most time, I mean, I'm kind 263 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 4: of like knowledgable, but most people just. 264 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 5: Look at yo, it's the school district. Good, all right, 265 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 5: I'm going there. 266 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 3: Development. 267 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 7: You got to keep your eyes on the developments and 268 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 7: what's going on in the area. You know, when you 269 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 7: know what's coming up, that's when you know what's going 270 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 7: to bring people, you know, I mean, the cliche thing 271 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 7: to say is you know there's a Chick fil A, 272 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 7: there's a Starbucks, there's a Chipotle. Something's happening right now. 273 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 7: But no all jokes aside. I like to read magazines 274 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 7: and I keep up to date with the developments. If 275 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 7: you go to Curved Atlanta, you can go to different 276 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 7: neighborhoods and see the upcoming developments that are taking place. 277 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 7: You can see where the investors are putting their money 278 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 7: by the time. If you follow where the investments are going, 279 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 7: if you follow where the development is going, then you 280 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 7: can follow the Okay, right now, this place saying hot, 281 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 7: But think about the people that were able to buy 282 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 7: in like the West End back in two thousand and six. 283 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 3: You could buy a whole house over there for like 284 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 3: ten thousand. 285 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 7: Dollars, really ten thousand, twelve thousand dollars. And if those 286 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 7: if you had the foresight when I first moved to Atlanta, 287 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 7: then they were talking about the beltline. So if you 288 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 7: had the foresight to invest in, and you can go 289 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,600 Speaker 7: back and sell that property now and make a couple. 290 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 3: Hundred thousand dollars. 291 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 7: See, that's about having foresight and keeping your ears to 292 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 7: the market, and you can do that locally. 293 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 3: You don't need an age. 294 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 7: I mean, I want you to need an agent, but 295 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 7: you could just read up on the areas and of 296 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 7: course find somebody to represent your best interests in make 297 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 7: a good decision. 298 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 3: Curved Atlanta, Curved Atlanta. 299 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 5: Okay, yep, that's a gym all right. 300 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 6: So as far as a relator, right, you're more than 301 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 6: just a relator because you help your client, you educate them, right. 302 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,439 Speaker 6: And we were talking a little bit yesterday about like 303 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 6: different more like ten year fifteen year morar versus thirty 304 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 6: year mortgage. 305 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 5: And most people, you know, when you. 306 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 6: Train and nobody, you know, we working class Envier Everents, 307 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 6: we're not really trained about financial literacy. So it's like, 308 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 6: get a thirty year mortgage, right, that's just you know, 309 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 6: it's common sense because it's lower payments obviously in the 310 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 6: fifteen year mortgage. But you were saying that might not 311 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 6: necessarily be the best idea. 312 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 7: No, it depends on your long term or short term goals. 313 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 7: You have to understand every property is an investment. Even 314 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 7: if you think the property you're going to be there forever, 315 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 7: look at it as an investment because you can use 316 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 7: that for several things. So a fifteen year mortgage is 317 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 7: different than a thirty year mortgage, and I see some 318 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 7: on top of just the years in the mortgage, just 319 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 7: the mortgage tites. You know you got faha financing, You 320 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 7: have conventional financing. 321 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 3: Raise your hand. If you heard about the first time 322 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 3: home buy program, just please do it. 323 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 5: I know you heard about it. 324 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, okay. 325 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 7: So the problem I have with people forcing this narrative 326 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 7: of first time home buyer programs and our state is 327 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 7: no such thing as a first time home buy program. 328 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 7: Let me debunk that myth right now. You have to 329 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 7: meet certain criteria. There's restrictions on all of this money. 330 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 7: Every single dome has restrictions. And to add to that, 331 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 7: typically speaking, if you were to use the program, I 332 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 7: don't want to say the name, but if you use 333 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 7: one specific program in this state, your interest rate will 334 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 7: be five percent, even if you have a seven hundred 335 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,119 Speaker 7: credit score. 336 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 3: Because they charge you for that. 337 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 7: Then on top of that, there's an upfront funding fee 338 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 7: that you don't know about that's added on top of 339 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 7: you getting that money. So by the time you think 340 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 7: you're saving on that down payment and you didn't want 341 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 7: to spend your seventy five hundred dollars, you have paid 342 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 7: that and more just to kind of think you saved 343 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 7: and don't try to sell the house within the terms. 344 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 7: You can't sell it without paying that money back plus interest. 345 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 7: So think about that and know understand that you're never 346 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 7: going to get something for nothing. Now, for some people, 347 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 7: those programs do work for them, and I'm not here 348 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 7: to judge it's better than renting, But walk into everything 349 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 7: with your eyes wide open, and stop thinking that because 350 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 7: you woke up today and you want to be a 351 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 7: first time buyer, there's something out there to help you, 352 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 7: because it isn't. They're all going to take advantage of you, 353 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 7: whether it be the interest rates, whether it be the 354 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 7: terms of how you got to pay it back. There's 355 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 7: one in one county where you can't sell the house 356 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 7: for ten years. And the one time that someone actually 357 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 7: did sell their house, I know an agent. They sold 358 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 7: their house. They had to split the profits with the program. 359 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 7: They made six figures and had to give half back 360 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 7: because they didn't read the fine print. 361 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 3: But had they used ten their own. 362 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 7: Ten thousand dollars as they down payment, that would have 363 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 7: been their profit. So walk So, you know, I really 364 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 7: encourage us to really start, especially us we think we 365 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 7: think we're going to get something because the first time 366 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 7: home buyers we think it's like, oh yeah, they're going 367 00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 7: to give it to me. It's got a lot of 368 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 7: red tape around it. And make sure you understand those terms. 369 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 4: One of the things you spoke about what was yesterday 370 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 4: and it just stuck with me because I know you 371 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 4: do luxury properties, but you said that's not always the 372 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 4: best scenario for people who will come into the realty game, right, 373 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 4: because there was a triangle theory. 374 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 5: That you had. You want to talk about that. 375 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 7: So the triangle theory is this, you have a triangle here, 376 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 7: so the most the one percenters are at the top. 377 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 3: Those are the ones that are going to be able 378 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 3: to buy those luxury properties. 379 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 7: So if I'm marketing myself to only luxury people, I'm 380 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 7: only going to close a certain amount of deals. 381 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 3: I want to eat every day. I'm not trying to 382 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 3: eat once every once a quarter. 383 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 5: You know. 384 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 3: You know, I'm from North Carolina where kind of kind of. 385 00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 6: Me all the morning them full for PtTe into them. 386 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,000 Speaker 7: So my goal is to make everybody feel like you're 387 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 7: having a luxury experience. Like I'm not turning away anybody 388 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 7: if you're ready to sell your house by your house. 389 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 3: Let's work. 390 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 7: You know, I'm working with all price points because I'm 391 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 7: not putting myself in the corner. That's why i have 392 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,679 Speaker 7: Kean and Watson Associates. Let's make sure you get the 393 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 7: same level of service no matter what. Because owning your 394 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,239 Speaker 7: property and building some wealth, buying in investment property as 395 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 7: your first property. 396 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 3: I had a girl. She still rents an apartment, but 397 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 3: her first purchase was a due plex. I was down 398 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 3: with it. 399 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 2: Come on, let's do it. 400 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 7: You know, you have to just make sure you're making 401 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 7: a decision and understand that. You know, every everybody starts 402 00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 7: somewhere with you know, and I'm not just trying to 403 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 7: work with this one percent of that. 404 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 5: Like I said, how many other mothers. 405 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 7: It's a one percent, the top one percent, But the 406 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 7: everyday person, that's the that's my real bread and butter. 407 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 7: That's who really supports me. That everyday person out here 408 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 7: is just trying to get it. That's why I'm able 409 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 7: to close it. Amount of do's I'm closing per month 410 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 7: and I'm happy. 411 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 6: So that's very important as far as business is concerned. 412 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 6: Is that a lot of times we focus on the 413 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 6: top and it's risky because there's money obviously in focusing 414 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 6: and people that have a lot of money, but it's 415 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 6: a limited amount of people. So it's like it's like 416 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 6: a home run hitting as opposed to just regular base. 417 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 6: It like if you swinging at home runs and you 418 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 6: can consistently hit home runs, great, But if you're striking. 419 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 5: Out, let's strike out a lot. Take out the game. 420 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 5: Let's take out the game. So let me ask you 421 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 5: a question. 422 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,680 Speaker 6: You had mentioned that the first time home buyer situation, right, 423 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 6: and you also talked about multifamily or duplex. So what 424 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 6: is your opinion on somebody that's looking to buy their 425 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 6: first home or their second home or whatever, but mainly 426 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 6: let's focus on first home. Is it a good idea 427 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 6: as a relative in your opinion, to buy an investment 428 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 6: property first, maybe like a duplex triplex, or is it 429 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 6: a good idea just to buy a home where you lived. 430 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 3: It really depends on the person. 431 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 7: And let me tell you that in Atlanta the last 432 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 7: time I ran the numbers, because everybody want a house hack. 433 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 3: Now, everybody want to do plex, everybody want a multi family. 434 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 7: When I was running just in the system on the 435 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 7: mols in a reasonable price point so reasonable, anything less 436 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 7: than three hundred thousand. We had one hundred and twenty 437 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 7: seven that included states like places like State Squirrel out 438 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 7: well outside of the place you get into the city 439 00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,159 Speaker 7: of Atlanta you start looking at was twenty eight twenty 440 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 7: eight duplexes. 441 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 3: So there are opportunities where they need to work. 442 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,120 Speaker 7: And if you're a type of person you don't mind, 443 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 7: if you don't mind putting a little sweat equity, then. 444 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: Let's go for it. 445 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 7: But just know that we don't have those type of 446 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,400 Speaker 7: multifamily opportunities in areas that some of my people are 447 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 7: comfortable staying in. Let me just say that wherever you're comfortable, 448 00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 7: I'm comfortable. You want to stay there, I want to 449 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 7: stay there, you know, but at the end of the day, 450 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 7: you have to make sure you're comfortable with that. So 451 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,400 Speaker 7: I would say, let's start with one. What's your what's 452 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 7: your budget, and what is your long term and short 453 00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 7: term goals? Do you want to drive an hour and 454 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 7: a half to work every day? If not, okay, then 455 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 7: we need to adjust and figure out what's the central 456 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 7: location for you. Because you can house hack in a 457 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 7: regular house with a basement. 458 00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 3: You know, you don't necessarily need a multi family. The 459 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:20,640 Speaker 3: house hack. 460 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 7: I had one of my my sellers, he's how he 461 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 7: house hacked a whole house. Each person was in a 462 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 7: different room, they shared the kitchen. It can happen. 463 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 3: So just look at the opportunity and where you want to. 464 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 4: Be because and part of that that that purchase of 465 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 4: process is the closing process, and that is tremendously confusing. 466 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 4: Who pays for what? Who's supposed to get money? Can 467 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 4: you explain that process? Try to clear it up for us, 468 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 4: because I noticed so many people that are like, wait, 469 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 4: I gotta pay you know, they're supposed to be. 470 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 5: Right, you know. 471 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 7: I got to ask one more question, who in here 472 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 7: thinks the seller is supposed to pay for y'all to 473 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 7: buy the out? 474 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 3: Just Pressireted to tell. 475 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 7: Me exactly say don't. And now that's what happens a lot. 476 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 7: When you're buying house. You have two parts. 477 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 3: When you're buying a house, you have your down payment. 478 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 3: That's your skin in the game. 479 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 7: Unless you use one hundred percent financing or a down 480 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 7: payment assistance program. 481 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 3: You have your down payment. 482 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 7: Faha, three point five percent if you're looking at conventional 483 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,560 Speaker 7: as three percent home ready five percent down or anything else. 484 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 7: Right on the other side of that, that is your 485 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 7: closing costs. That is your responsibility. That is you paying 486 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 7: for the attorney's fees. You also pay for the lender 487 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 7: to process your fees, your prepaid taxes in your your insurance. 488 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 3: Your homeowners insurance. 489 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 7: So when you look at all those fees, it takes 490 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 7: the process your loan and get you to the closing table. 491 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 3: Typically it depends on the house we're looking. 492 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 7: We always try to calculate closing costs at four percent, 493 00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 7: especially at the top of the year when you got 494 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 7: to pay pretty much the whole year's taxes when you 495 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 7: move into the property. 496 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 3: So when you're looking at it from that. 497 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 7: Perspective, you're talking about ten to eleven thousand dollars on 498 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 7: a typical three hundred thousand dollars house just for closing costs. 499 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 3: So that is your responsibility. 500 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 7: You can negotiate some of that purpose from the seller, 501 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 7: but it's not their responsibility. If you're in a multi 502 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 7: offer situation, which I'm starting to see all the time now, 503 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 7: I'm talk about fourteen offers to one house. If you're 504 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 7: the one that needs the seller to pay six thousand, 505 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 7: four thousands towards your clothing and cost You're gonna lose 506 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 7: that offer, So you just got to be mindful of 507 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 7: the location. 508 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 3: Depends on location. Everything is dependable. It's certain areas. 509 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 7: I feel like, I know I can get you about 510 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 7: ten fifteen thousand from the seller because it's an area 511 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 7: that's not in high demand. But let's just say you 512 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 7: want this property and smarty it hit the market fifteen showings, 513 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 7: they got ten offers. You're gonna lose that offer because 514 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 7: you need the money. So I'd rather be you've been 515 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 7: in a position that you have your money saved, or 516 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 7: you find out how it's gonna work. And it depends 517 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 7: on the location you want to be in. We can 518 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,480 Speaker 7: always negotiate some clothing costs for you. But this is 519 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 7: technically a responsibility, so you know, start saving. 520 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 6: But you said the colding courses technically could be negotiated 521 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 6: to zero it. 522 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 3: Oh we can. 523 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 7: I mean there's been plenty of times to zero minus 524 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 7: your prepage. You are responsible for your prepays, which is 525 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 7: your taxes and your insurance. You got to pay that, 526 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 7: but they will, they can negotiate it to zero. 527 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 3: You know, I have. 528 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 7: I've had situations where I've negotiated for the seller and 529 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 7: we have paid zero closing costs. 530 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 3: Buyer brought their all money to the table. 531 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 7: Then I negotiated for the buyer and basically I've had 532 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 7: people come to the table get a refund after they've 533 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 7: taken the money from your earnes's money. So it just 534 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 7: depends on location. Everything is area specific here, So don't 535 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 7: think that overall you can't get any money. But certain 536 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 7: areas they're just not going for they don't have to. 537 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 7: It's one neighborhood, it's morning they do not pay clothes 538 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 7: and costs and they don't have to. 539 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 3: It's too much demand. And it's other neighborhoods that are 540 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 3: like that too. 541 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 7: But this is the other areas where it's like, I 542 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 7: know I can get you some money because you know, we. 543 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 3: Don't have that many offers.

Like some lenders, I have been in a 562 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 7: situation where they want to see money in reserves. 563 00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 3: That means you don't necessarily. 564 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 7: Need to use this money to buy the house, but 565 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 7: because of something with your credit profile, we want to 566 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 7: see that you have two months of reserves of the 567 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 7: mortgage amount of your account outside of the money you 568 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,880 Speaker 7: have saved for your down payment.

And that 624 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 7: being said, now you have the scores at this point, 625 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 7: you really need a seven hundred plus score seven twenty 626 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 7: really to be exact, seven twenty score.

It might seem boring 662 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,800 Speaker 4: to save, plan and make calculated decisions with your bank, 663 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 4: but keeping your money boring is what helps you live 664 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 4: or more happily fulfilled life. P and C Bank brilliantly 665 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 4: boring since eighteen sixty five.

I'm Christy nom the. 675 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 8: United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted 676 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 8: illegal border crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, 677 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 8: and over one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. 678 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 8: If you are here illegally, your next you will be 679 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 8: fined nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. 680 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 9: You will never return. 681 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 8: But if you register using our CBP home app and 682 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 8: leave now, you could be allowed. 683 00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 9: To return legally. Do what's right leads now. 684 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 8: Under President Trump, America's laws, border and families will. 685 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,520 Speaker 4: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department at Homeland Security. 686 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 7: So we're county specific. So we're Atlanta. We still ain't 687 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 7: New York yet, so y'all you know. But so for 688 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,320 Speaker 7: Gonett County, five hundred thousand is considered luxury, fullth In County, 689 00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 7: six hundred thousand is considered luxury, five hundred thousands considered luxury. 690 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,000 Speaker 7: Into Cab County and Cobb County is five hundred and 691 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 7: seventy five thousand. So our luxury threshold is kind of 692 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 7: low compared to other states, but for us, it's still 693 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 7: high because if you can think into it, right now, 694 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 7: the average price point for the metro Atlanta area is 695 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 7: three hundred and twenty five thousand, where two years ago 696 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 7: was two hundred and seventy five thousand. 697 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 3: So the prices are going up two years ago, two 698 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 3: years ago, like two and a half three years ago. 699 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 5: That's crazy. Yeah, I mean it's on fire right now. 700 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 3: It's on fire right now. 701 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 7: Tyler Perry told y'all to come down here and build. 702 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 3: Your own table, and I'm so happy that you are. 703 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 5: So one last question. 704 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,760 Speaker 6: You you talked about the first time home buyers that 705 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 6: may not always be the best program So, like, what 706 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 6: are some programs that may be benefitial for first like 707 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 6: faha two or three K like what in your opinion? 708 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 7: Well, in my opinion, I really hate to say the 709 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 7: day in the program, but I guess I'm. 710 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 3: Being forced to. 711 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 7: In my opinion, if you're in Georgia and you want 712 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 7: to use the program, I would say use the shnowa 713 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 7: faha on one hundred percent financing program because after three 714 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 7: years then you it's. 715 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 3: Like a grant. It turns to a grant. You no 716 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 3: onet have to pay it. 717 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 7: Then you may want to use the community home by 718 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 7: a program because after three years that one turns into 719 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,480 Speaker 7: a grant. I don't recommend the fullteen county down payment 720 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 7: Assistants program because they are the ones that take a 721 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 7: percentage of your money. I highly don't recommend the Georgia Dream, 722 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 7: although everybody loves the Georgia' Dream. Georgia Dream has a 723 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,280 Speaker 7: huge upfront funding fee on average to five percent monthly 724 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 7: and then they have a five year plan on your 725 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 7: property and which you have to give the money back. 726 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 7: And I know everybody thinks they love the Georgia Dream. 727 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 7: I'm gonna tell you the real reason I don't like it. 728 00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 7: When you're negotiating with the seller they want to close 729 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 7: in thirty days. The Georgia Dream does not care that 730 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 7: you were supposed to close than thirty days. By the 731 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 7: time they get your file and they bring it back, 732 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 7: on average, they closed in sixty days. 733 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 3: I've had two. 734 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 7: Clients almost lose their earnest money, and I'm talking about two. 735 00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 7: I had to use everything I had in order to 736 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 7: keep the deal together because the Georgia's ring was delayed 737 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,520 Speaker 7: that far. So I don't love the Georgia Dream because 738 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 7: of that, because of the fees and hidden fees that 739 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 7: are a part of it. So if you have to 740 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 7: use a program, use that and then use that opportunity 741 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,120 Speaker 7: for those three years, raise your scores, make sure you 742 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 7: save your money, get your credit right, and then refinance 743 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 7: and get out of that as soon as you can 744 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 7: get off that five percent interest rate. Refinance into a 745 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 7: conventional loan program and then get a lower interest rate. 746 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 7: But chanoah facha one dchanoah che na, You're welcome, And 747 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,680 Speaker 7: keep in mind real quick, that program was actually one 748 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 7: of the programs. You know, if you guys don't remember, 749 00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 7: last year, Donald Trump, they actually canceled that program for 750 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 7: a little while and they had to come back and 751 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 7: let this one come back on the market. So these 752 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 7: programs are not around forever, but that one did come back. 753 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 5: Noah, A whole lot. 754 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 6: Of game, A whole lot of game, A whole lot 755 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 6: of game.

Yeah, a lot of 849 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 6: times in our comedy. Unfortunately, it's like people, it's very talented, right, 850 00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,320 Speaker 6: and it's like, but you might use that talent to 851 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 6: be a criminal, and we know where that's headed. But 852 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,440 Speaker 6: you use that your talent to be a criminal, but 853 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 6: you reversed course and now you're using that talent to 854 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,440 Speaker 6: be an entrepreneur, businessman, thing of that nature. So I 855 00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 6: always like to just encourage, especially young people, because it's 856 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 6: like a lot of times people feel. 857 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:52,799 Speaker 5: Like it's too late. 858 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, and like you said, you have two feelings on 859 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 6: your record, but that didn't stop you from becoming who 860 00:37:58,760 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 6: you are now. 861 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's all about and I'll listen to 862 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,680 Speaker 10: your podcasts and all the amazing entrepreneurs who are spending 863 00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 10: so much game on this couch and just not even 864 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 10: for your podcast excuse me, through the EW experience. It's 865 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 10: not a podcast, the Worse Experience. But in listening to that, 866 00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 10: I always think about and even in my own lectures, 867 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 10: I'm just a get it done kind of guy. And 868 00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 10: so I think about us all defining what our desired 869 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:26,279 Speaker 10: destination is, like where the hell we want to be 870 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 10: in life, and in us finding that route, those directions 871 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,920 Speaker 10: to that desired destination. 872 00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,879 Speaker 2: So it for me, it doesn't matter when we start, 873 00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 2: what age we start. 874 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 10: What kind of educational background we have when we start, 875 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:40,560 Speaker 10: how much finance it's a credit we have when we start. 876 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 10: It's all about where you end up at the end 877 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,440 Speaker 10: of the day and what are you willing to sacrifice 878 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 10: and endure to get to your desired destination. So for me, 879 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,320 Speaker 10: coming out of feeling like the odds were against me 880 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 10: getting coming into the real estate industry at twenty five 881 00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 10: years old, not knowing even how to send the email. 882 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:58,319 Speaker 2: At twenty five, I got no even clue I send 883 00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,720 Speaker 2: an email that was not a skill that on the corner. 884 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 2: But coming getting to this industry and over. 885 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 10: The last fifteen twenty years to be able to amass 886 00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 10: some of the success that we've had, it's really just 887 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 10: a show of my endurance because it's been ups and downs. 888 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:18,720 Speaker 10: There's been success and millions, majors and bankruptcies, foreclosures, short sales, 889 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,719 Speaker 10: there's been all the hurds of entrepreneurships. But for me, 890 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,799 Speaker 10: it was always about endurance and really approaching this as 891 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 10: a marathon and not a sprint. 892 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 2: And so at the end of the day, it's not 893 00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 2: about where we started. What we go through. It's all 894 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 2: about how we end the race. 895 00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 4: So I mean you started from Jersey obviously, but you 896 00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,320 Speaker 4: chose the great city of Atlanta. Yeah, well why Atlanta 897 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,200 Speaker 4: of all places black people? 898 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:47,959 Speaker 2: Black people? Now?

A lot of people here it 953 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 6: might be interested in real estate. And the number one 954 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 6: hurdle a lot of times is like funding, Right. But 955 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,239 Speaker 6: you talked about jvs, which is joint ventures, right, and 956 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 6: you spoke about like different ways of like how even 957 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 6: if you don't necessarily have money or a lot of money, 958 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,640 Speaker 6: you can still use jvs as a way to fund 959 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:18,000 Speaker 6: real estate. 960 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 5: Can you talk about that? 961 00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 10: Yeah, So a fancy name for jvs or joint ventures 962 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:29,319 Speaker 10: is called deal syndications, syndications and real estate development. When 963 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:32,200 Speaker 10: you look at the difference between a real estate investor 964 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:37,120 Speaker 10: and a real estate developer, the only difference is a 965 00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:39,920 Speaker 10: real estate developer is the organizer of. 966 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 2: A real estate investment. 967 00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 10: Right, So a real estate investor invests his or her 968 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,120 Speaker 10: money into a project and hopes to make some kind 969 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 10: of profit.

How do we use credit and leverage it in 1008 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 5: real estate? Yeah? 1009 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 10: So the first thing about using credit in general is 1010 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,360 Speaker 10: that we have to adopt a kind of a different 1011 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,000 Speaker 10: mindset about credit as a community. We too emotional about 1012 00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,320 Speaker 10: credit and we don't understand that there's two hundred and 1013 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,960 Speaker 10: thirty trillion dollars of credit in the world and only 1014 00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 10: fifty trillion of cash, coins, and currency. 1015 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:33,520 Speaker 2: So money is not what. 1016 00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:34,239 Speaker 5: Runs the world. 1017 00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,479 Speaker 2: Credit, debt and leverage is what's one of the world. 1018 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,680 Speaker 10: But we be so emotional about it is that we 1019 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 10: love the good profile, the good score, are scared to 1020 00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:45,879 Speaker 10: leverage that score to go buy more assets. But while 1021 00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:48,520 Speaker 10: we teach the four rs is because when you adopt 1022 00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:51,120 Speaker 10: the mindset that you credit really don't mean shit. All 1023 00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:52,680 Speaker 10: this is a tool for you to go try some 1024 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,759 Speaker 10: shit and if it don't work, to be able to 1025 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 10: do it again on the recycle tip. 1026 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:58,320 Speaker 2: Right. So what we teach at the J. 1027 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,560 Speaker 10: Morrison Academy and Legacies about credit is that we all 1028 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 10: need to become here's your bad class for how you 1029 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:06,839 Speaker 10: always get on your feet no matter where you're at 1030 00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 10: in life right, bounce back all the time. One is 1031 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,719 Speaker 10: understanding the power of personal credit and what you got 1032 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,240 Speaker 10: to do and know to always build, to rebuild, restore 1033 00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,080 Speaker 10: or repair your personal credit. But then understand the power 1034 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 10: of family credit. Making sure your significant other, your wifey, 1035 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,719 Speaker 10: or your husband that they're on they own game and 1036 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:26,040 Speaker 10: they're credit right, as well as your siblings as. 1037 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,000 Speaker 2: Well as your daughters, like my daughter's twenty years old 1038 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,320 Speaker 2: in college. But we've been building her credit since fifteen 1039 00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:30,759 Speaker 2: years old. 1040 00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,719 Speaker 10: She got a seven to eighty score, but it's in 1041 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,080 Speaker 10: position for business funding at any time. We need to 1042 00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,600 Speaker 10: activate her into the family businesses. Right, This ensures you 1043 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,239 Speaker 10: never I can't promise I'll never go broke. I have 1044 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 10: to promise you for a fact, I'll never stay broke, right, 1045 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,360 Speaker 10: because I know too much and how I set my 1046 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 10: my plays up. So outside of your personal credit, your 1047 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 10: family credit, then you could build business credit. Right, So 1048 00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:57,440 Speaker 10: business credit you can leverage, and then credit partners. So 1049 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 10: if we all approach credit from a present yo, credit 1050 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 10: is just there to use as some paperwork to give 1051 00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 10: us opportunities to buy franchises, to get business funding, to 1052 00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:07,840 Speaker 10: buy real estate and. 1053 00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:08,800 Speaker 2: Do the things they want to do. 1054 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,320 Speaker 10: God forbid, it don't work out. My credit could be repaired, rebuilt, restored, 1055 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,160 Speaker 10: and recycled. But in the meanwhile, my next family member 1056 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 10: is up next for their next business, My next credit 1057 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:18,640 Speaker 10: partners up next. 1058 00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:20,879 Speaker 4: Can you explain that credit? How does one go about 1059 00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:21,840 Speaker 4: getting credit partners? 1060 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:23,040 Speaker 5: How does that even? How does that look? 1061 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:27,240 Speaker 2: Credit partners is all about you being able to offer. 1062 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,239 Speaker 10: Some kind of value in a relationship between you and 1063 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 10: someone has a healthy credit profile, So. 1064 00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,400 Speaker 2: Your value may need to be that you need to 1065 00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:35,520 Speaker 2: be able to evaluate a. 1066 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 10: Real estate play, evaluate a business play, evaluate some kind 1067 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 10: of opportunity. Because someone having a healthy credit score, because 1068 00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,280 Speaker 10: your credit score is good, I know a feeds your ego. 1069 00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,520 Speaker 10: That doesn't mean that your kids can eat off that right. 1070 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,359 Speaker 10: It doesn't mean you can pass that eight hundred score 1071 00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 10: onto your airs. But if you the leverage that eight 1072 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,480 Speaker 10: hundred score to go buy an eighty unit apartment building 1073 00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:56,960 Speaker 10: or eighth unit apartment building, or you know what I'm saying, 1074 00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 10: or get business funding for a new. 1075 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,960 Speaker 2: App or new franchise idea, now you're putting your credit 1076 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 2: to work with very little risks. 1077 00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 10: Because the fact of the matter is if you get 1078 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 10: someone to extend you eight thousand dollars in credit, eighty 1079 00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 10: thousand dollars in credit, or eight million in credit, if 1080 00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,600 Speaker 10: you default on that loan, the same thing's gonna happen, 1081 00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 10: no matter if it's eight million or eighty thousand. 1082 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 5: They gonna send you a letter in the mail.

You know empire, So your your credit score 1108 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 10: doesn't matter. Is really a knowledge base. Your knowledge base 1109 00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,759 Speaker 10: is the biggest deficiency you can have. If you got 1110 00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 10: the knowledge, you can always pull together the credit in 1111 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:26,880 Speaker 10: the capital. 1112 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:28,400 Speaker 5: What's your what's your thoughts on? 1113 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,960 Speaker 6: Because so all right, people was always saying like that 1114 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 6: that the next recession is happening, right, It was not 1115 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 6: happening yet, but it's going to happen soon. And a 1116 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,759 Speaker 6: lot of times where real estate is like, you know, 1117 00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,759 Speaker 6: it's it's very popular now to take money out of 1118 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,920 Speaker 6: your home and buy a new home. But that's kind 1119 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:49,480 Speaker 6: of a dicey situation if the market crashes and then 1120 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,960 Speaker 6: you just kind of get left holding a couple of 1121 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 6: different mortgages. 1122 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,520 Speaker 5: So what's your thoughts on that? 1123 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,320 Speaker 10: Yeah, it when it comes to this phase in the 1124 00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,839 Speaker 10: real estate market, what I believe is the market will 1125 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,280 Speaker 10: correct itself. It will have some kind of crash for correction, 1126 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,040 Speaker 10: and when that correction happens, what it is is banks 1127 00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:09,839 Speaker 10: are going to stop loaning money so lingiently, interest rates 1128 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,680 Speaker 10: will likely go up, and it's gonna be harder and 1129 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 10: harder to get that home buyer loan or that investor loan. 1130 00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,000 Speaker 10: So when it's harder for people to buy or excuse me, 1131 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,439 Speaker 10: it's harder people to get finance or buy real estate, 1132 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,879 Speaker 10: where they end up doing they can't buy, they rent, right, 1133 00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,439 Speaker 10: So for all those look into when vext in real estate, 1134 00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,359 Speaker 10: understand that when this market corrects itself, the landlords will win. 1135 00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,320 Speaker 10: So right now, our focus is on multi unit housing, 1136 00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 10: multi family apartment buildings, because we know that whether it 1137 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,000 Speaker 10: be a year, eighteen months, or three years from now, 1138 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,800 Speaker 10: when this market corrects itself, folks won't be able to 1139 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,680 Speaker 10: go get that loan for that you know, faha is easily, 1140 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,719 Speaker 10: so easily, and so more people will be renting. And 1141 00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:50,120 Speaker 10: so for us, we want to put ourselves in a 1142 00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,960 Speaker 10: position to be a landlords and you know, apartment unit owners. 1143 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,960 Speaker 10: So when folks can't get that mortgage, will be the 1144 00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,920 Speaker 10: ones there to collect their rental application. 1145 00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 4: What's the landscape pay Atlanta specifically for multi samily homes 1146 00:50:02,160 --> 00:50:05,480 Speaker 4: or like what you're speaking of? Are they an abundance here? 1147 00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,320 Speaker 4: And can people who are in this room investor? Like 1148 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 4: what does it look like here in Atlanta? 1149 00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,960 Speaker 10: Yeah, so there's super opportunities for there's a lower pool 1150 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,040 Speaker 10: of investors for multi unit housing and particularly ten units, 1151 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 10: twenty five units and better you have you know, more of. 1152 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:21,480 Speaker 2: A pool of inventory. 1153 00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:24,719 Speaker 10: But even within that and here in Atlanta, when it 1154 00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,600 Speaker 10: comes to those who in the residential market, my advice 1155 00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,640 Speaker 10: is don't get into those bidding wars, right Like you 1156 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:32,840 Speaker 10: shouldn't be buying off the hype of social media or 1157 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:34,880 Speaker 10: the hype of the news or the hype of the market. 1158 00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,959 Speaker 10: When sellers are getting multiple offers, it's a seller's market. 1159 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,720 Speaker 10: Identify that about gracefully. Take your ass from West Atlanta 1160 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,920 Speaker 10: where everybody got seven contracts or one property, and go 1161 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,120 Speaker 10: an hour and a half down the road to Mobile, Alabama. 1162 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,520 Speaker 10: We get a property for twenty thirty thousand instead of 1163 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,240 Speaker 10: competing for a hundred and twenty thousand or one hundred 1164 00:50:53,239 --> 00:50:55,080 Speaker 10: and seventy thousand dollars property that used to be seventy 1165 00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,439 Speaker 10: grand two three years ago. Stop buying into the hype 1166 00:50:58,480 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 10: to say, like, oh, I bought on. 1167 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,360 Speaker 2: The West Side. You're cashing investors out. 1168 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,960 Speaker 10: Three times what they even anticipated on appreciation when you 1169 00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:10,040 Speaker 10: can go into another market that isn't as as much demand. 1170 00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 10: So it's back to old school buy low, sell high. 1171 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:17,040 Speaker 10: But if if you're competing against a seller's market, you 1172 00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,480 Speaker 10: ain't buying low, so you're not putting yourself a position 1173 00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 10: for equity or for any kind of you know, future turnover. 1174 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,680 Speaker 2: So the multi family market adds an opportunity to that. 1175 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,360 Speaker 10: Or you're buying in a residential market but not buying 1176 00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 10: in a city where there's so much demand right now. 1177 00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,520 Speaker 2: Is for the sellers to cash out. The foolish buyers 1178 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,080 Speaker 2: will buy now in this market. The smart buyers will 1179 00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:38,200 Speaker 2: either hold their cash getting a higher level. 1180 00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,400 Speaker 10: Of multi family apartments, or they'll going to other b 1181 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 10: markets where there's more inventory. 1182 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:48,520 Speaker 6: We talk about SOSA Real Estate Fund of day just 1183 00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:51,600 Speaker 6: opened the Legacy Center, right the black House, Black House? 1184 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:52,520 Speaker 3: What is that? 1185 00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:53,680 Speaker 5: What's the Legacy knows about? 1186 00:51:53,680 --> 00:51:55,759 Speaker 2: The Legacy Center makes some noise?
