Right. So, the interesting 79 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: thing because we interviewed the NFL player before we interview 80 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 2: the NFL agent, and we got a lot of relationships 81 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 2: with a lot of guys in the league. But a 82 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: lot of guys, especially in the league, they reach out 83 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: to me and you know, they're interested in business and 84 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: interested in financial literacy, but it's not really taught to them, 85 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: right because especially being a star athletes your whole life, 86 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 2: you know, you're you're not really focused on business per se. 87 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 2: You're focused on your sport, right, You know, it takes 88 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 2: a lot to become a professional athlete, and even when 89 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 2: you get in the league, a lot of times, even 90 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: with a lot of financial advisors, it's more so just 91 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 2: trust my word. 92 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: Somebody else is handling the business. 93 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, but you actually you actually brought your first property 94 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: while you were still in college, right, yeah? So all right? 95 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 2: What made you want to invest in real estate when 96 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 2: you wasn't even you didn't even graduate from college. And 97 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 2: how did you actually invest in real estate? I'm assuming 98 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 2: your income was lower being a college student, Like, howd 99 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 2: that work out? 100 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 3: Right? Right? 101 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 4: So in two thousand and three, the reason I invested 102 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 4: in it will even made me start thinking about real estates. 103 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,719 Speaker 4: I wasn't even thinking about real estate. I was just 104 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 4: thinking about ball and getting on scholarship. Because I walked 105 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 4: on the temple, I had to earn everything that I've 106 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,799 Speaker 4: always had. And once I was so, I was bawling 107 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 4: and I was going to get on the full scholarship 108 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 4: because I was a college dropout. Actually I didn't score 109 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 4: over eight hundred on my SATs. You get five hundreds 110 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 4: for signing your name, but I was I was a 111 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 4: three way athlete in Catholic school all American. I fell 112 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 4: asleep on messages. I didn't even take it serious. I 113 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 4: didn't know it was that serious. And then I couldn't 114 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 4: even get into the schools that I wanted to get into. 115 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 4: So once that happened, I had to go.

And 173 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 4: I got back into Temple on like a preliminary basis 174 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 4: to prove like like basic classes on probation to get 175 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 4: back into you know, I got the noted actually, and 176 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 4: by the grace of God, a woman that went to 177 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 4: my church was in the emissions office, pulled some strings 178 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 4: and got me in. Like you need angels, you know, 179 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 4: some people say, look, some people say blessed. I think 180 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 4: it's like those two correlating artists. They wanted the same 181 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 4: but the two different things. And you know, and I 182 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 4: got in, and I made the team, and you know, 183 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 4: obviously became a full scholarship athlete. 184 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: Tragedy happens. 185 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 4: I break my femur playing West Virginia. 186 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: It was a dirty play by the fullback or whatever. 187 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 4: And next thing, you know, I might even be playing 188 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 4: football again. At that time, I realized me always weighing 189 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 4: the options. Football isn't forever, and I need if I'm 190 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 4: going to be rich or wealthy, I need something that's 191 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 4: going to make me rich or wealthy. And a friend 192 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 4: of mine put a bug in my ear along with 193 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 4: about real estate. I didn't really understand at the time, 194 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 4: but my dad was a former he was a construction guy, 195 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 4: so I kind of understood it, but not really. And 196 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 4: I read a book that I tell everybody to read, 197 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 4: Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and that Robert Kiyosaki, I was 198 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 4: your book to right. That got my wheels turning on 199 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 4: looking at economics and real estate differently because we don't, 200 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 4: you know, like you guys, said Rasha and Troy we 201 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 4: don't really self taught. We don't really hear about real 202 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 4: estate in the hood and wealth building and things of 203 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 4: that sort. 204 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 3: Because even at Temple you weren't studying anything that had 205 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:51,559 Speaker 3: to do with real estate. 206 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 4: I wasn't studying nothing, man. I was studying girls in football. 207 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 4: That's what I was studying, you know what I'm saying, 208 00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 4: and plays and how to take your head off you 209 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 4: can't across the middle. That's that was my thing. And 210 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 4: and music, of course, But other than that. Once I 211 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 4: started looking into that in two thousand and four, you know, I, 212 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 4: once I came back from my injury started to play 213 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 4: football again, I was I started looking at real estate 214 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 4: and learning and I went to a a conference called 215 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 4: National Grant Conference. And I tell people this my stories 216 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 4: listening to the little details because the whole way I'm learning. 217 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 4: But I haven't pulled the trigger yet. And I think 218 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 4: a lot of especially the day with the microwave error, 219 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 4: we want that instant gratification. I started thinking about real 220 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 4: estate in two thousand and three, but I didn't really 221 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 4: pull the trigger in two thousand and five. But for 222 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 4: those two years, I'm learning. So I went to a 223 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: place called NCO find not NC National Grant Conference. 224 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 3: And they went from and every. 225 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 4: Everybody has people people like this. They got hgt be 226 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 4: people that used to be on HTTV. Even now they 227 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 4: just go conference and conference what you call it? Even 228 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 4: does that on the breakfast club now, Envy and starting 229 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 4: to do that, you know what I'm saying. I shout 230 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 4: out to him for doing that. I definitely should be 231 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 4: one of the guest speakers. But like, and they would 232 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 4: tell you enough that actually they would drop some free 233 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 4: drunk gems. But then up to that point then they'd 234 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 4: be like, all right, if you want more, now you 235 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 4: got to give us a thousand dollars to sign up. 236 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:35,440 Speaker 3: And I would. 237 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 4: I waited, and I went and I went to one 238 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 4: of the things. I learned some stuff, and they was like, 239 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 4: give me a thousand dollars. At that point in time, 240 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 4: what happens, seventy percent of the room always walks out, right. 241 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 4: I was one of the ones that stayed. But I'm 242 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 4: twenty years old. I had no money, like, you know, 243 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:52,439 Speaker 4: a thousand bucks to give y'all. So I went home 244 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 4: asked my parents. They said, boy, you crazy, you better 245 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 4: go ahead finish college. So what I did as soon 246 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 4: as I went on scholarship. I took out out a 247 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 4: loan for a student loan for ten thousand dollars, and 248 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 4: that ten grand was a refund check because I'm on 249 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 4: full scholarship. And I took one thousand from that ten 250 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 4: and gave it to that. 251 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 3: To that conference. 252 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 4: And from that conference, I learned you got a little booklet, 253 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 4: and I learned something called a two or three k loan, 254 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 4: and that two or three K loan I mentioned ye 255 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 4: to mention that episode. And back in those days, which 256 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 4: was the good old days before people messed up the 257 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 4: economy in twenty eight and nine, you can do a 258 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 4: stated stated stated income, stated income stated, and I just 259 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,760 Speaker 4: stated income. But it's a great thing if you got 260 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 4: du share responsibility and you. 261 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 3: Want to do the right thing. 262 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 4: What's your thing? But you know ninety percent of people don't. 263 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 4: Man you make you make the money. You won't go 264 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 4: out by Bentley or you won't get into the TV. 265 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 4: All my boys on the team, they was buying Jordan's 266 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 4: with their little per diemed from like the checks when 267 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 4: we would go play, and I was stacking mind. 268 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 3: You know. 269 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 4: Instead of living in the dorms, I lived at home 270 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 4: with my mom with my mom, and I wrote, I 271 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 4: wrote a lease from my mom to me as if 272 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 4: my mom was renting the room in my own house, 273 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 4: and made temple in Temple. 274 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: The scholarship money that gave the scholarship. 275 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 3: Money gave me the scholarship money. 276 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 2: So if anybody's not familiar, I interject because I used 277 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 2: to play. I went to the University of Hawaii. So 278 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 2: similar situation where you have on campus housing for athletes 279 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: and you have off campus housing. So a lot of 280 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 2: schools they kind of forced you to live on campus. 281 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: But some schools, like when I was in Hawaii, what 282 00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 2: they did was they gave us the check for housing 283 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: and then we get apartments off campus. So the check 284 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 2: was like six thousand dollars. Right, then let's say your 285 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 2: apartment is three thousand. Now you got a difference of 286 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 2: three thousand dollars, so you can just splurge on Jordan's 287 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: or you can. But you was actually smart because you 288 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: kept all the money because she was living at home. 289 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 3: I was living at home. That's pretty responsible. Even like 290 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 3: the student loan. 291 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 5: Thing, like I know guys have done that, Like yo, 292 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 5: I'm gonna take out the student loan for more than 293 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 5: I really need. 294 00:13:58,240 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 3: And I'm gonna use it for something else. 295 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 4: But like exactly like you invested in your future, invested 296 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 4: in my future. And so I hope people listening just 297 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 4: in this world. To just get successful, man, you just 298 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 4: got to think outside the box and understand that everything 299 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 4: is possible and everything is like chess. 300 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 3: This is it's like a game. 301 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 4: So when I was when I wrote that, when I 302 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 4: wrote that, and understand, I hate people that say, oh 303 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 4: I can't or no, or they always got like the 304 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 4: first thing, well this ain't gonna work. How you know 305 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 4: it ain't gonna work. I told the university I'm living 306 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 4: at home. I had at least my mom wrote it 307 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 4: five hundred a month for the room. Hey man, you 308 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 4: gotta take it. It might be a loophole, but you 309 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 4: gotta take it right. So once I once, once, once 310 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 4: I did that, I learned the took out that ten 311 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 4: grand I had nine thousand left. I had nine thousand 312 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 4: left over, and uh I put that down on my 313 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 4: first duplex. Yeah, and it was. It was a doozy, man. 314 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 3: It was. 315 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 4: It looked like you know, bombs from Bad Dad. You know, 316 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 4: it was. 317 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 3: It was huge though. 318 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 4: It was like three thousand square feet and I fixed 319 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 4: it up. I ran into some problems with the builder. 320 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 4: You know, I had a pastor. He was a he's 321 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 4: a pastor at a church, and but he was he 322 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 4: was had his own construction company called Kingdom Builders.

Like I'm still like I'm from the streets. 506 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 4: I'm hooking. I'm just polished, and I try to keep that. 507 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 4: I try to take that hip hop and that polishness. 508 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 4: But referred to real estate to make you know our 509 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 4: can be able to understand it more. And it's I 510 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 4: think is starting to catch on. 511 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 2: All right, You're in the right place for that, that's right, 512 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 2: all right, So we're going so now in the next segment, 513 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about real estate in your new phase 514 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,199 Speaker 2: your life, all right. So now we're going to go 515 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 2: in the second segment. And so you played two years 516 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 2: in the NFL, and that's like right along the lines, 517 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 2: somebody's in the NFL stands for not for long, right, 518 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 2: because NFL players don't have a long career, right, They 519 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 2: don't even really make that much money relative to like 520 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 2: baseball and basketball. Right. So you play two years in 521 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 2: the league and then you come back to Philly, and 522 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 2: now you start your second phase of life, whereas you're 523 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 2: a real estate developer, right, But for commercial properties. So 524 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: it's interesting because we spoke of came a lot of 525 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 2: people doing real estate right now, which is encouraging. Good. 526 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,639 Speaker 2: We need everything, so yeah, we got to own as 527 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 2: much as possible we can. But you only see a 528 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 2: lot of people on the on the development side, especially 529 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 2: the development side as far as commercial properties. Right. So, 530 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 2: coming back from the league, starting from scratching real estate, 531 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 2: well pretty much you had one property, but not you know, 532 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 2: an empire. What made you want to develop your own 533 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 2: real estate company? And how what was the steps you 534 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 2: took to do that? 535 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 4: Bottom line, I didn't trust nobody, and I understood that. 536 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 3: It's a term. 537 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 4: It's called you have to manage the labor. And when 538 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 4: you manage the labor or manage the work, a lot 539 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 4: of people they trust too much in the other people 540 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 4: with their own destiny. And when you're starting out early on, 541 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 4: that's what you're doing. And when I told you guys 542 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 4: about three guys painting one window, I was like, you 543 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 4: know what, I gotta be here looking at these cats 544 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 4: getting the most out of them. Because when people understand 545 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 4: what real estate man as soon as that you sign 546 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,879 Speaker 4: that note for that loan, it's like ready to go. 547 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 4: That interest is starting to kick in. You got to 548 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 4: start making payments on that money. And you know you 549 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 4: speed is the name of the game. So uh that's 550 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 4: why I said, you know what, and now I know 551 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 4: what it means. I'm still you know, I'm still learning. 552 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 4: But I set up a vertical supply chain, you know, 553 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 4: which is basically a company that is three companies within itself. 554 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 4: So I'm the guy that does the acquisition. I got 555 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 4: my own construction company and I got my own management 556 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 4: company all in house. 557 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 3: How long did it take you to do that? 558 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 4: I did that right away. I was doing that when 559 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 4: it was just me. I was, I was you know, 560 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 4: all those roles. You know what I'm saying. I still 561 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 4: and I'm the CEO. I still do that, you know 562 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,679 Speaker 4: what I'm saying. I got but now I'm not the 563 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 4: guy fixing the toilet in the management three different companies, 564 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 4: three different companies. 565 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, so. 566 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 4: You got you know, Concrete Investments in LLC and then 567 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:58,480 Speaker 4: uh you know Watchman PM and those three those three 568 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 4: companies you know, handle like those three roles. So the 569 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,200 Speaker 4: commercial side of it, because commercial can seem like when 570 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 4: people commercial can be residential as well. So commercial real 571 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 4: estate is not just strip. 572 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 3: Malls or like whatever. 573 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 4: You know, one story commercial joint commercial real estate can 574 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 4: be which I do. I do most of myself is 575 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 4: mixed use. That's the technical term. Where you got apartments 576 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 4: upstairs and you got commercial space downstairs. And that was 577 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 4: just always something that would appeal to me. Whish I like, 578 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 4: I always wanted to be the dude that would like 579 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 4: I understood early on, I think me being a part 580 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 4: of the community, I understood how commercial space can can 581 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:48,439 Speaker 4: sway or influence the direction of a community. So a 582 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 4: lot of people were just caring about, you know, houses 583 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 4: or apartments or duplex. I would go for, hey, man, 584 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 4: if I can put two apartments upstairs and then have 585 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 4: a commercial space downstairs, that would be really dope. Also, houses, 586 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,959 Speaker 4: I didn't. After fourteen years doing this, I did my 587 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 4: first house last year. That was my first house ever. 588 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:18,160 Speaker 4: I've never done just one house, a single super fan house, 589 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 4: like an investor you invested in flip, you know, it 590 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,479 Speaker 4: was always at least a duplex, you know what I mean, 591 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 4: or a four unit or six unit. Never did one 592 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 4: house because one house to me was like it wasn't 593 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 4: enough to put all that work in the one house 594 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,199 Speaker 4: and then you got the one income coming out Another thing. 595 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 4: I'm not a flipper. I hold all my stuff, I 596 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 4: build wealth. So I always wanted multiple forms of income 597 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 4: coming from under one roof. Rental property, so one of property. 598 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 4: So one of the most detrimental things you can do 599 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 4: in real estate. And why multifamily is so great, I 600 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 4: mean literally great, is because you now, if you have 601 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 4: one house and you you rent that house out right 602 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 4: or you rent that house out, that tenant leaves you 603 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 4: have no more income. If I have three apartments under 604 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 4: one roof, which is a triplex, one tenant leaves, I'm 605 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 4: still making income from the second third floor of vice versa. 606 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 4: So I always understood that I need multiple forms of 607 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 4: income coming from under one roof. Also with that, even 608 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 4: when you're flipping, I always try to if it was 609 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,480 Speaker 4: a three story house, I would say, see if I 610 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 4: could legally zone it to make it a duplex that 611 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 4: have two apartments under under one roof. You know why 612 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 4: because now I make more money for the same amount 613 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 4: of work. So if I got a three story house 614 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,040 Speaker 4: and now I can turn into two apartments, I can 615 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 4: now make an apartment on the first floor and the basement. 616 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 4: That's a bi level. I could put a two bedroom, 617 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 4: two bath that way. I make the basement lower, make 618 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 4: it a nice ceiling, put some egress windows in there. 619 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 4: Now you got light coming in to that basement. Doesn't 620 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 4: feel like a basement, feels like a lower level. And 621 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 4: now on the second and third floor, I actually have 622 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 4: another apartment. I would give that second and third. 623 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 3: For a roof deck. And I still do this to 624 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 3: this day. 625 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 4: Now for the same amount of work that might only 626 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 4: be able to get four hundred thousand for that house, 627 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,520 Speaker 4: I'm now getting three hundred thousand for two apartments. So now, 628 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 4: and then took that same structure and added two hundred 629 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 4: thousand to the to the to the takeout on it 630 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 4: for the same amount of work. 631 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 5: So at the height of this, like, how many properties 632 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 5: will you manage at the same. 633 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 4: Time this year alone, I'm doing about forty two units 634 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 4: forty two actively managed. No, I actually I actually managed 635 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 4: over one hundred units, but for this year long, Okay, 636 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 4: you're going to add forty two I'm adding forty two 637 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 4: units to my portfolio. 638 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:47,479 Speaker 3: Okay, how mean? 639 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: How mean? Do you have a total of over one 640 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 2: hundred yeah? Okay? And it all makes use properties multifamily. Okay, 641 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 2: all in Philly. So how long of a process did 642 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 2: it take you to go from zero to one hundred 643 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 2: and something? 644 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 4: I mean, I've been doing this for a while now, 645 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, like I said, a decade. You know, 646 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 4: I've been doing it for a while. But I sold 647 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 4: some stuff and then flipped it right back. 648 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 2: You know, you spoke about the two or three k 649 00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 2: long do you use that a lot or that was 650 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 2: just for the first property.

So I basically botto land go to the bank. 663 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 4: Understand when you're financing, A bank will get give you 664 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 4: about seventy five percent loan to value, So I don't 665 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:06,720 Speaker 4: know if your boy broke it down. 666 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 2: You talk abou. 667 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,080 Speaker 3: Okay. 668 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 4: So basically, let's say your property is worth I'm gonna 669 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 4: keep the number simple. If it's worth one hundred thousand 670 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 4: dollars and the banker gives you seventy five percent, they'll 671 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 4: give you seventy five thousand dollars to buy it and 672 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 4: fix it up. Right, to buy it and fix it up. 673 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 3: Me, I want my. 674 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 4: Properties always at no more than fifty five percent loan 675 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 4: the value that's buying it and fix it up. So 676 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,640 Speaker 4: when I get done buying it building it, I want 677 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 4: to be at fifty five percent equity. So the main 678 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 4: thing you need to do is understand how much is 679 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 4: going to be worth once it's done. Don't worry about 680 00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 4: how much is worth right now. Don't worry about how 681 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 4: much you're buying it for right now. Some of the 682 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 4: properties that I've done that's worth about five You know, 683 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 4: one of my probably is worth about five million. I 684 00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 4: got into the deal by only having on hundred and 685 00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 4: fifty grand in the total project. Now, excuse me, like 686 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 4: six Mili. You know, because I leveraged the money, but 687 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 4: I understood how much it was going to be worth 688 00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 4: once I build it. That is the main thing. Like 689 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 4: you know when they say, you know, I make money 690 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 4: when I buy land or when I buy the property. 691 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 4: That is the rule the Bible. You make money when 692 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 4: you buy it. So once you buy it, once you 693 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 4: build it, and now you have that equity. 694 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 3: So if I'm at fifty five, if I. 695 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 4: At fifty percent, the bank is going to give me 696 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 4: seventy five percent. That twenty five percent is my cash out. 697 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 4: That's my money called it. You gotta have the wind 698 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 4: built in. Yeah, to have the wind built in. I 699 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 4: take that twenty five percent, I dump it. I'm back 700 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 4: here the rule, that tape, I'm putting it back on 701 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 4: the board. 702 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 2: You know what I'm So, the bank gives you a 703 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand dollars property. The banks gives you seventy 704 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,120 Speaker 2: five thousand cash. 705 00:33:58,320 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 3: Seventy not cash. 706 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 4: Great world was cast. They gonna they're gonna slow roll 707 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,000 Speaker 4: your ass to that. So what they do, so let 708 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 4: let me let me, let me let me break it 709 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:10,720 Speaker 4: down like this. Let's say the property is worth gonna 710 00:34:10,719 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 4: be worth one hundred grand. Right, once it's done, it's 711 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 4: let's say it's a house, this is and it's and 712 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 4: let's say right now, it's a shell, and you buying 713 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 4: a shell right now for twenty thousand. Right, it's gonna 714 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 4: take you another thirty thousand to. 715 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 3: Fix it up. 716 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,680 Speaker 4: Now that is, you bought it for twenty you fix 717 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 4: it up for thirty. It's worth one hundred. Bank is 718 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 4: now gonna turn around and give you seventy five thousands. 719 00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 3: You're built twenty five. 720 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 4: So now that twenty seventy five, that twenty five thousand 721 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 4: dollars is going, that's your money. They're gonna cut you 722 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,319 Speaker 4: a check. Now, they're cutting you a check, But that 723 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 4: thirty the ain't gonna cut you a check. They're gonna say, 724 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 4: all right, get the the demo and the framing done first, 725 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,479 Speaker 4: and they will come out and give you a draw. 726 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 3: You know what I mean. 727 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 4: So when they say, you know, you know you do 728 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:56,680 Speaker 4: need some money to make money in this business, you. 729 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying. 730 00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 4: Or you gotta have a good a great contractor. That 731 00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:03,760 Speaker 4: is another thing. Have a great contractor, and a great 732 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 4: contractor is worth every penny, even if you're paying more 733 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 4: down the street. A great contractor would take you to 734 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 4: the touchdown, holy grail, whatever you want to call it. 735 00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 5: So, what's the time frame Since you're developing and you're 736 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 5: putting the frame, what's the time frame on on ground up. 737 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:22,760 Speaker 4: I'm one of the fastest builders, I believe in the country. 738 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 4: I just built thirty thousand square feet in seven months. 739 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,160 Speaker 4: This guy's taking two years to do that. I got 740 00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,759 Speaker 4: a great crew. I always want. I told you, man, 741 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 4: that money, once it hits is ready to go. So 742 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,359 Speaker 4: I would say normally if it's a house you want 743 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 4: to be in and out of, like a dependents. That's 744 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 4: so hard because it depends on the size of the project. 745 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 4: I mean, that's thirty thousand and seven months. That's pretty impressive. Yeah, 746 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,960 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying. So, but that comes with 747 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 4: tom too. That comes with time too, or having a 748 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 4: having a great builder, you know what I mean. And 749 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,040 Speaker 4: some guy that's all they do. They just can they 750 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,239 Speaker 4: just are contractors. 751 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 3: Drawn up the plans for it. 752 00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I got architects, So I have architects that drop 753 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 4: up the plans. Early on, I would draw my own plans, 754 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 4: my my my architectural plans. 755 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,560 Speaker 3: Early on was going to a property. 756 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 4: I would spray paint the layout and then I would 757 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 4: say follow that, and my guys are followed. 758 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,840 Speaker 2: So like for then he said something interesting. He was 759 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,799 Speaker 2: saying that his networth I think it was like over 760 00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 2: like twenty million in probably something like that. But he 761 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 2: said he's net worth rich cash flow poor because it's 762 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,320 Speaker 2: hard for him to get loans from the bank because 763 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 2: on paper it looks like he's worth a lot of money, 764 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 2: but he's not keeping a lot of money. He's not 765 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 2: showing a lot of money because the money's constantly going 766 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 2: back in. You run into that problem, or because you 767 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:39,759 Speaker 2: get traditional financing. 768 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 4: So after you as a developer, you always want to 769 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 4: be cash poor. I'm I'm cash, I'm cash flow. I 770 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 4: hate the word rich. I'm cash, but I'm cash flowing 771 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:53,520 Speaker 4: like great. But I have, you know, debt, good debt, 772 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,799 Speaker 4: the cash in the bank. I'm not supposed to keep 773 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,319 Speaker 4: cash in the bank, you know what I mean. People 774 00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 4: gotta understand money ain't yours. To keep money is to 775 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 4: throw back in, and you do run it into run 776 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 4: into those I used to run explain it. 777 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,600 Speaker 2: I don't want that's very important what you said. Can 778 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:13,279 Speaker 2: you fully explain that? Because I remember Dan Dad said 779 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,000 Speaker 2: that before, like I'm put my money back in the street. 780 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,720 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, I'm never gonna hold money. 781 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,759 Speaker 2: A lot of people don't fully understand when he said that, but. 782 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:21,400 Speaker 3: Even Fernando said that. 783 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 5: He was like, anytime I see money in my bank, 784 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 5: I thinking I could be using that somewhere else. 785 00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:27,319 Speaker 4: Can you explain that? Like you gotta constantly put the 786 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,319 Speaker 4: money back in. You gotta constantly put the paper back in. 787 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:30,640 Speaker 3: Man. 788 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 4: You gotta you know, like I gotta say it, willing 789 00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:39,240 Speaker 4: and dyling.

I started liking how they 998 00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 4: looked in the in the vibe and then you know, 999 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,839 Speaker 4: you see the honey's coming in, people doing their work, 1000 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,320 Speaker 4: and it was real ine lectures. 1001 00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,280 Speaker 3: It was like a whole vibe. 1002 00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:00,200 Speaker 4: It was a whole vibe, and I was like, I 1003 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:01,879 Speaker 4: don't like coffe because I don't want to stay my TV. 1004 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:03,360 Speaker 4: I said, but you know what, I need to start 1005 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,680 Speaker 4: drinking it. I need to start feeling it. I need 1006 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,359 Speaker 4: to start getting used to how it feels it being here, 1007 00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 4: how the machines look, and how fast people should be 1008 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,239 Speaker 4: in and out. Because I'm going to invest in my 1009 00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 4: own spot. And then I couldn't get Starbucks. I couldn't 1010 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:21,360 Speaker 4: get like other you know, the smaller than Starbucks with 1011 00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,920 Speaker 4: bigger name spots to come into the neighborhoods. 1012 00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,680 Speaker 3: I invested it into the hood. 1013 00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 4: So I said, you know what, man, you know I'm 1014 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 4: going to open up my own We're not even asking 1015 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:37,600 Speaker 4: even asking no more. And I did it. It's a 1016 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:40,399 Speaker 4: but I took a risk small enough for me if 1017 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,439 Speaker 4: it failed that it was like, okay, I'm only out 1018 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:45,400 Speaker 4: thirty grands. I mean, I'm only out eighty eighty seventy 1019 00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,520 Speaker 4: thousand dollars. It's a write off, and I can just 1020 00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,600 Speaker 4: rent the space out to somebody that does want to 1021 00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 4: do a coffee shop, or I could just rent the 1022 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:56,120 Speaker 4: space out to somebody else and just collapse it. And 1023 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 4: it's a learning lesson. Actually, started working out, you know, 1024 00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 4: and I call it common Grounds, and it's a millennial 1025 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 4: based cafe that all I feel like Starbucks that you 1026 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,200 Speaker 4: see them trying to revamp. But Starbucks to me remind 1027 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,799 Speaker 4: me of like old heads and like older people and like. 1028 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 3: The baby boomers. 1029 00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:14,480 Speaker 4: And it got the it's Starbucks with a lot of 1030 00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:19,279 Speaker 4: other individual coffee spots are now starting to take takeover, 1031 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,120 Speaker 4: like people want those cool hip coffee spots.

So I made my coffee spot look like 1034 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,320 Speaker 4: like a tattoo pollor or like a lounge. And we 1035 00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,719 Speaker 4: call it common Grounds because it's in the area that's gentrifying. 1036 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 4: So it's a common space that people can a ground 1037 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,799 Speaker 4: that people can come and mingle, you know, from all 1038 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 4: different nationalities the way the way the world.

A lot of 1052 00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 2: times people want blueprints on how to be an entrepreneur. 1053 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:27,800 Speaker 2: There's no blueprint for it. You got to be creative 1054 00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:31,839 Speaker 2: and use your God given ability to think on your feet, right. 1055 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,440 Speaker 2: And that's one of the things that you know a 1056 00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,840 Speaker 2: lot of times in our day to day life.

And that's 1061 00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,440 Speaker 2: one of even for me being an entrepreneur, that's what 1062 00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,919 Speaker 2: I love the most because I have freedom to think. 1063 00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:56,760 Speaker 2: Like you don't even realize that you don't have freedom 1064 00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,040 Speaker 2: to think until you don't.

You know, I done made a lot 1285 01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,960 Speaker 4: of mistakes. I'm going to make even more mistakes. But 1286 01:00:57,840 --> 01:00:59,720 Speaker 4: I know what the real estate is worth. And at 1287 01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:04,080 Speaker 4: the time, the zoning for those lots, even though they 1288 01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:07,760 Speaker 4: were big, the zoning didn't allow you to take advantage 1289 01:01:07,760 --> 01:01:10,280 Speaker 4: of the true size that you can build. So I 1290 01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 4: can build a big building, but I only can put 1291 01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,000 Speaker 4: two apartments in it when it's big enough for three. 1292 01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,120 Speaker 4: Just to make it easy for you to comprehend, because 1293 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,680 Speaker 4: the zoning laws had changed for just that slit of 1294 01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,560 Speaker 4: a moment, and I was able to tell and show 1295 01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:27,000 Speaker 4: improve to the redevelopment authority. 1296 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:28,680 Speaker 3: Yo, look at this. 1297 01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, down the street sold for that because the zoning 1298 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,440 Speaker 4: allowed them to take advantage of a building that size. 1299 01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:37,560 Speaker 4: You know, they allowed to put three units in the 1300 01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:41,920 Speaker 4: building that size. Now municipalities y'all changed, they changed the 1301 01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:42,600 Speaker 4: zoning code. 1302 01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:44,360 Speaker 3: I can build a billing that size. 1303 01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:45,800 Speaker 4: But I'm still only gonna be able to put two 1304 01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,080 Speaker 4: units in it, so it ain't really worth what that is. 1305 01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,800 Speaker 4: And they did their research. On top of saying, like 1306 01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:52,800 Speaker 4: you know what, we actually really could get sued too 1307 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:55,480 Speaker 4: because we did cash that check. For thirteen and they 1308 01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:58,240 Speaker 4: came down only at twenty five thousand a lot. That's 1309 01:01:58,240 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 4: still ain't a lot of money. I still paid one 1310 01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:03,200 Speaker 4: hundred basically one hundred ninety two thousand and five a lot, you. 1311 01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:07,760 Speaker 3: Know, twenty and sixteen.

We gotta give you a 1602 01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:33,400 Speaker 2: shirt before your day for sure. And the book Tip 1603 01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:35,679 Speaker 2: of the Week is a book called The Twelve Week Year. 1604 01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:38,320 Speaker 2: So the theory behind the twelve week Year is that you 1605 01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:39,880 Speaker 2: know a lot of times we set goals. Most of 1606 01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:42,160 Speaker 2: the time you set a goal January first, for the year, right, 1607 01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,760 Speaker 2: ninety five percent people will never actually reach their goal 1608 01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:47,400 Speaker 2: because it's too long. Like if you have a goal, Okay, 1609 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:48,880 Speaker 2: I want to make one hundred thousand dollars for the year, 1610 01:16:49,479 --> 01:16:50,880 Speaker 2: but how are you going to do that? Right? So 1611 01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:52,599 Speaker 2: the twelve week year to say, you break it down 1612 01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:54,880 Speaker 2: to twelve weeks. So each year is twelve weeks and 1613 01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:59,040 Speaker 2: each week you put together an actionable plan and at 1614 01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:01,720 Speaker 2: the end of the month review it. So it's a 1615 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,439 Speaker 2: lot easier to accomplish big goals if you break it down. 1616 01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:06,920 Speaker 2: And I'm a big proponent of that, So I actually 1617 01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,679 Speaker 2: do that myself now, where every single week on Sunday, 1618 01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,080 Speaker 2: I look, I set my goal for the next week, 1619 01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:14,240 Speaker 2: and then I have a yearly. It's a lot easier 1620 01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,360 Speaker 2: to look in short periods of time as opposed to 1621 01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 2: a long period of So I recommend that twelve week year. 1622 01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:24,200 Speaker 2: And yeah, that's it, man, Thank you for rocking with us. 1623 01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:25,320 Speaker 2: We'll see you next week.
