What would you do if you were in our shoes?

Thank You for listening 

I have a friend that secured a deal on a property in La Jolla with none of his own money because he listened to the owner -- I kick myself to this day because I had talked to the same owner numerous times about other things but I didn't listen to him like my friend did so I missed the opportunity.I had kind of tuned out the opportunity because the property is in a really expensive part of La Jolla and I didn't think I could secure a deal on a $5M house when I was just starting out.But my friend -- who had no more experience than I did -- and the developer he worked with -- and who paid for everything -- made $7M each off that deal because the house ended up selling for $28M.Anyhow, my point is that while you should keep doing what you're doing because there are deals everywhere and you don't need to live near by, don't ignore your own backyard because you probably know it much better than any other area.

If you listen to my podcast episode (in my signature, below) you can hear my story of building a house and almost going bankrupt.

Just found this informative site: http://www.pentamezz.com/about...I got interested in this subject after listening to the great Mike Milken explain how he made his billions as an employee of Drexel Burnham back in the 1970s. 

As I listen to various episodes of the podcast from the archives, I often wonder... where are they now? 

I just listened to a BP podcast where Brandon says to blame it on a higher power. 

But rather than let it control me, I listened to it.

I finally started to listen to those that were saying house hacking is a good start, so we started making some appointments to check out multi family homes in our area.

Whatever they do in life, they are awake to the presence of talent, they are are always listening for the voices of bright people.
