Speaker 3:hello everyone, this is Tim winners. Welcome to the appraiser secrets podcast powered by investor comps. What an exciting time we have. I am somewhere in southern Utah and mark, what part of the world are you in?
Speaker 1:I'm ready at home in Denver today.
Speaker 3:Today? Yes, we were. We were talking earlier about some exciting things. We are, we are definitely men on the road and on the move. So exciting. Well, we have, we actually have kind of a three legged stool today that we're going to tie together. We've got three topics that we're going to address. And um, and so I'm excited for everyone to kind of, to Kinda hear this and I just want people to stick, stick around to the end cause we've got some special things to mention, but a, the first thing that we want to do, and this is something that's near and dear to both mark and i's hearts and that is to just share other people's successes. So, uh, how important is that Martin? Let's talk, I mean, just talk about that in general and let's go into more detail.
Speaker 1:We're thinking about it is that it's really, and, and I loved it, we're talking about this right now because a lot of things that we do at investor constant, certainly as we share and care through this vehicle of appraiser secrets kind of gets focused on, you know, that's top of the organization. But overwhelmingly, I mean, in the 13 years that we've had investor comps and been putting out valuation date and information and training to investors, both domestically and nationally, there's been some really great success stories. And I want to share one that we just recently had and that's with Mr Ali Thomas of Gary, Indiana. I'm just kinda like northwest Indiana just outside Chicago. Ali is the individual that kind of Joan joined on Indian investor cops world early in 2018. Uh, decided he wanted to lock arms. Does it really move forward? He's come a long been part of our mastermind crews that we do once a year has come to a couple of our investors summit events. And as a result of taking in, discovering how to utilize evaluation, first approach to real estate oddly has gone from zero deals to 15 in less than 12 months, which is just something to be applauded. Pat Him on the back and most more, I guess if anything, the fact that he took action, he was willing to be coachable. He was willing to listen, to be guided, uh, and, and in some cases he was even willing to hear some nos. It's like energy. I got a deal and let's look at it. His evaluation. I got it under contract and basically I just told him out of that, that's not a deal. And he was willing to take it on the chin, understand and why and then go apply that to the next two, three, four, nine, 10. Now he's up to 15 transactions, so couldn't be more excited to celebrate all the time. And she's on Facebook for those of you who are listening to give them a shout out, congratulate, ask her some questions. You know, what is it that has helped him be successful utilizing investor comps to do his real estate and do it very, very well. So just want to recognize Ali and what he's been able to do to add longterm revenue to his business. Short term revenues of business and building 80 a wealth portfolio that will provide passive income for years and years and years to come.
Speaker 3:No, I was, uh, I remember the first event that, uh, Ali came to and I sat down and was able to chat with him and what a, what a bright guy, what a great guy. So I'm super excited for his success. But, but if you could, um, you mentioned a few things, but I want, I want some tangible takeaways for the people listening in. What's one or one or two things that you have observed that Ali has done? You mentioned taking action and we know he's things like that, but I mean, just, I don't know any, anything else that people can say? Yeah. People, cause I listen, I know, I know what people are doing. You said take action. They're going to, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, I'm taking action. So why am I not as successful or you let, let's, let's go ahead and pull out the two by four mark and let's smack some people over the head
Speaker 1:to get their attention. Okay. The, the dynamic that we talk about specifically is this to him, and this is what really makes the, this is what turns a corner for everyone I've ever worked with, is that whether they're looking at HUD deals, which we teach how to do those, whether they're looking at reo properties, bank owned properties, whether they're engaging with free foreclosures are subject to properties. What we always, inevitably every wind up doing is going back to saying, you know, what does the investor cost? Property reports say about the values and sometimes you hear nothing. He's like, no, what is bad squeaking in the background that's happened there. Because while they're excited about doing a deal and they've understand how to get a lead and bring a deal in, maybe even have an agent and make an offer, they didn't take the time as they were taught right away to actually into the value to know, hey, I'm buying right that this profit in this deal. If I decided to wholesale it to, if I decide to just do a little bit of work and renovate it and hold onto it for longterm whole passive income, or if I do an uh, a little bit nicer renovation to turn around and flip it. And so we get just like Ali, going back and digging into the valuation data, who are the buyers and sellers in the market area and what did those transactions, cell force, not just the ones where it was an arm's length transaction between two people before market sale. But what were the more distressed transactions that are going to determine where we want you to buy hat? So first things first is that everybody typically has a step back and really start looking at their best or cost report. Looking at that data to determine what is the best acquisition values for the deal to get Rachel acquire the next thing that comes into play or just the dynamics of the details. You know, who's the agent next you're working with, do they have your best senseless? What title company working with? Are they going to make sure that they pull title and know that we've covered all the disclosures, there's nothing hanging out after we take on that deal and can they close in a timely fashion and work with us to make sure that we bring that deal on the right way. So those are some of the things that come after knowing that we've got a deal that's got significant profit in it regardless of the exit strategy. And then some of the fine tune things because some of the costs that normally that the seller should be paying or that could be managed a little bit better because the title companies trying to charge extra fees for something that you don't need survey where the case may be, you can keep more money on the bottom line. So these are the things that we get into that Ali has learned as well as any other number of other hosts have students that have really helped them be successful as they take action to do deals and doing very, very effectively.
Speaker 3:Yeah. And I guess one thing that Kinda jumped out at me is that if he's not taking action, that second thing is not going to occur. You're not going to learn all that and you're not going to be able to gauge all that. Right. It's like, I don't think as awesome as all the data is that we're able to provide if someone looks at it, but yet they're not out and about, you know, not out in the hunt. Sometimes we call it, um, it might not mean anything to them, correct?
Speaker 1:That's correct. Yeah. I mean, I think the beautiful thing about the folks that we work with an investor conference is that overwhelmingly they're able to get the experience that they otherwise would not get on a transaction. So many people believe real estate works. They just don't believe it works for them. But an investor for comps and how we take these appraisers secrecies ideas about valuation of concert transaction more and more and more. It's the case that you actually take away experience that you can use for a lifetime and duplicate over and over again because you do have the opportunity to go through a complete transaction. Once you know that you're buying right there, there's really nothing that precludes you or stops you or pulls you back once you've got that valuation piece down Pat.
Speaker 3:Yeah. I like the cool thing that I love about that is that, okay, based on the experience I've gotten, people I've been around is that sometimes what we're doing is we're looking for a reason or excuse or whatever you want to call it, not to take action and the data and the things that you're talking about. And even some of the teaching and training, we're about to talk about your shortly. It takes a lot of those excuses away, which kind of greases the skids. It removes the barriers so that action can be taken. Well I think, I think there's no doubt that you and I are so excited for Ali success. So excited for all that's going on. So I appreciate you sharing that. And I know that it was a blessing for the listeners for the podcast and those that are watching in just a here, uh, that people are succeeding. And also I, we're going to shift gears just a little bit here and all of this is really going to tie together because you and I've been around each other for 20 plus years and one of the things since day one we were reading books and bouncing around with books and talking about being teachable and things like that. And so we've been in this mode for a long time and sometimes it's Kinda new to people, but you are sharing, right? As we were getting started about a few books that you've recently read that got a big impact. You believe that they have information for everyone. So I'm actually going to kind of insert here some book reviews, book discussion with you, sharing some of the nuggets. So, um, why don't we do it this way, why don't you mentioned the two books and maybe the altar is just hold it up or something like that. And then, and then we'll back up and then you could dive into detail on the first one. The second one is that okay,
Speaker 1:that works is fine cause I, as you know, it's him. I mean there's books that other people recommend to us in some of the mastermind groups that we attend, whether it's just a book club that we're in or whether we're involved in our local risks, a real estate investment associations, there's, there's always gonna be somebody sharing something in a good environment that's going to help you grow. And in other times you're specifically reading strategically for where you perceive you are and what your needs are in order to go forward. And I genuinely believe that the two books on about to share, um, are very, very appropriate, not just for me or for yourself, but for anyone that has a guide. So certain point and now they're ready to take another leap forward. So the first one, I'm actually a very excellent archer author, Marshall Goldsmith. What got you here won't get you there. And the other book that kind of compliments as I'm actually reading to a big shift ahead in this case, uh, the age curve and this is by uh, uh, Gore Bach and the idea here or about different dynamics as it relates to population changes. The subtitle on the acres is how to profit from the coming demographic a storm. So as we look at not just the economic economic factors that impact market areas and we were talking about these appraisers secrets, how we're taking the expensive real estate investing appraiser and applying that to markets at I ahead of their uh, coming changes economically, the demographics, the population shifts that also move markets in a different way coming forward in the next 10, 15, 20 years are important data cover as well. And I'll kind of hold off.
Speaker 3:So good. So we got a couple of couple of good recommendations there. So let, let's, I listen, we want everyone to read these books. That's what we want. Because when you read things happen, um, you know, if you just sit and watch videos and things like that and that's great. That's educational and listening is educational also. But something about reading, just get something going in the brain. It's cognitive, there's good things do. However, let's just assume for a moment then someone says, Mark Ang and I read that book gimme some of the details of it.
Speaker 1:I'm having a little bit of fun with it, but I want to, you know, may I want to kind of get inside the heads here. So that's about as Candace. And there's been times where you've been, you and I have been there as well.
Speaker 3:I, you know, I read book summaries. I just got my notice from my, from my book summary Thing that I've gone through 171 books, summaries in the last like 150 days. So, uh, so summaries are, are good. They're not as good as a deep dive. So, uh,
Speaker 1:anyway, so, so you'll be professionals. And I'm just going to hit a couple of things I've already highlighted as it relieves this book because that, you know, that highlighting in the text actually makes it more tangible, add some emotion to it. And then actually in my opinion, it gives us something that we can always flip back to where we need to revisit some material. Um, just a comment. Um, I didn't really get into a reading until I was, well, probably in my thirties, I started going out and buying books more, but it was just before that that someone said to me, by good books, even if you're not going to read them now because you'll have the time to do so and so start building a library. At that point. Some of it was novel, some of it was information, some of it was self help, but just started buying, you know, the$5 discount up when you walked in to Barnes and noble, whether it was a, uh, a Tom Clancy or you know, or a John Gresham or uh, large, uh, walker and stuff like that. a Started buying a bunch of novels and it started guidance to the point of Reading for fun. And then more reading for my own individual growth development and how I can care and share with others. And that was actually before my appraisal careers. But what I got to cut three things highlighted here and I want, I just want to touch base on here and the thing that resonated really with this book, what got you here won't get you there is this idea of what's holding you back. And I'll just read just to look around. I have highlights your hard work is paying off, you're doing well in your field, but there's something standing between for you and the next level of achievement that something may just be one of your own annoying habits. And so I will admit that there's any number of dynamics that I have on my own walk of life, that our daily routines in terms of how I wake in the morning, uh, what realization that I have about what could we accomplish that day. The, the ideas of what I'm going to be intentional about, how I strengthened not only my mind and my body and then how I go execute it. But overwhelmingly one as I, I like most entrepreneurs, Aa types live case may be I still think I can do stuff better than anybody else. And so there's always a need to overcome that willingness to do it myself as compared to delegate it. And that's one of the things that is a habit that I struggled with and I fight with. But because I've allowed to, I've allowed to open my hand and let things go because other people can do any number of those things, not only better than me, they can actually do a quicker, faster, more efficient and in a creative way. So overwhelmingly this idea of looking at, um, one of my own, you know, perfectionist, annoying little habits. I can, I can't relate to you at all, man. I can't, I know that you and I are the only two guys that are listening in here that it even matters. You're, you're, you're like, you're hitting on a lot of things. So this is awesome. I keep going. Sorry to interrupt. Not Challenge. Uh, one of the other things a little bit later on was who can help is, is that the question? Who can help? Um, when you know this author Marshall Goldsmith has done a wealth of work and literally I guess first semester an expert when it comes down to helping leaders overcome things and get out of their own way. That's going back to the title of the book. But one of the dynamics here that really makes a difference is that each us, uh, when we're growing our own small business, large Mary Case may be we need to have some coaching, a one on one that allows us to be challenged in terms of accountability. The challenge us in terms of our task completion and I know are we going in the direction that we say that we want to go in. So here's that thing where yes, I've had mentors and that and I've been in some groups, but overwhelmingly there's the need to have that one on one coaching, uh, to guide you and moving the right direction. Now, my coaches have varied right now it's all about developing business structures and processes. That's what my coach is working with, Bmi visits right now. I've had other times where I've needed coach just for finance to help me understand deal structure even better on the financial side, not an evaluation side, but how to actually take one transaction and making it a two or three or four based on note concepts and wraps and things of that nature. Uh, so those are dynamics. But having that one on one coach that's got you going to take you from where you are to where you want to go is a really big nugget that took away from them. Let me get to the third one. And this, this one's kind of Tyler's witness a solution. Um, there's a number of different dynamics here in terms of what is the common problem faced by executives that need a coach. Within here you'll discover some of the questions that you need to ask yourself to enhance your key beliefs as well as those of other successful leaders, but also the behaviors that hold those individuals back. And so overwhelmingly here as we read, as I've tangibly have been able to go through this, I'm able to see, hey, I'm not on this island by myself. There folks that have been where I'm at. Okay, somewhat stuck. You know, and, and, and I don't mean stuck in terms of not having to success. There's been any numbers of layers of success and accomplishment. But there's another place that I want to go to. And the thinking that got me where I'm at is not the thinking that's going to take me where I want to go. And therefore I share this in a capacity for everyone. Whether you're, you know, whether you've been doing transactions for a few years and you're, you know, you've gotten some momentum but you're looking to see how can I do things a little bit differently. This read may very well take you where you want to go as well as, you know, being engaged, uh, with investor cops as we look at some of our events that we hold twice a year, that investor summit, it's made a significant difference for Ali as we talked about earlier in the meeting as a, as a number of other individuals but overwhelmed. We just remember what got you here, won't get you there. And I'm thoroughly enjoying going through this content as well as sharing because I can already feel, not see but feel the changes that are coming because I, you know, because of the coaching, because of eliminating little habits that can be changed and tweets and held accountable for. And also realizing that there are some things that we want to be thinking about differently from what we're used to do to where we want to go. So I highly recommend what you got.
Speaker 3:I love, I mean, just the title, they're not, everybody's going to pick up that book because of the title. I mean that just kind of let you know you need to make some changes. Right? So that's uh, so that one's really good as far as personal and things like that. And now this other one looks like it's a little more macro, little more bigger picture and things like that. So hit on that. I'm, I'm kind of watching our time here and you kind of keeping this moving along for a couple of minutes or so, and then we want to move up to our topic. So, uh, so, so give us some nuggets from this one.
Speaker 1:Yeah. The thing that really is your need at the time that we're engaging real, you know, there's this idea, one thing I really enjoy is how we refer to this millennial generation is, it's really kind of ironic because generation x, almost Louie got skipped over. There's the baby boomers, then there's action. And then here come the millennials and it's to a great degree because they're in wage earning years now having families getting married, things of that nature. The real impact of their mindset, of the way that they drive economics is really coming into its snowball effect. We haven't even seen all of that is coming with it and a lot of autonomous driving and things like that are part of that snowball that's coming, but overwhelmingly as it relates to real estate as well. So I encourage people and I, you know, even as I'm doing right now to read books like the uh, age, the age curve, how to profit from the coming Devin, a demographic store because it is the demographics of people that drive the economics that exist certainly in this country and then globally as well. Overwhelming. We're seeing it now more in terms of thought process as a part of them, of the demographics. Um, there's some things that happened with baby boomers. Baby boomers wanting to be healthy, be fit and live longer than the generation before them. They certainly achieved earning more, but there's a different dynamic in terms of what they consider to be quality of life. So they had the biggest impact on health and fitness as part of their movement. And it's, and it's paying off because life expectancies have gone up. Uh, and uh, as, as such different financial dynamics of change in terms of savings, self directed, Iras, launch or income because retirement has gone from almost, you know, I mean it's almost tripled. It's gone from being seven to eight years after 62 to 65 to being 23 to 30 years after 60 to 65. So the generation that's coming behind us and there's any number of dynamics. So we just talk about a couples first is who are these people? Okay, that's one dynamic that you will listen to. And silent virtues or small group with his own impact. Those two chapters as I read through them, really touched me because it, let me see that as a parent, I have a five millennials. Okay, but there's 10 years in between them. So my millennial that's in the early thirties as we're having this conversation now is really uniquely different from my millennial that is only 23 and how they think and see the world, how it impacts, how they treat money, uh, how they see themselves in terms of where they want to live, the environment they want to live in, and at what time point do they actually want to acquire a piece of real estate and then how much they want to invest in it, what type of home they want to live in. It's really a unique dynamic at one of the key things here as it relates to these two groups is that idea of the size of home. My 30 something is in more of a traditional three bedroom, two baths and forth. My 23 year old is very much into what's the smallest possible space I need to, how's the few things that I have and be able to lay my head but still be in and around the community to people I want to be around so that I can enjoy a live workplace on support, that type of thing. Very different dynamics. They exist in real time right now for both of them. And how we structure our deals, how we look at the market areas that we're investing in really does have to take a serration both dynamics because both of them are other point where they're going to be investing in real estate that we can either have as long term hold investments for those individuals or as short term flips for a going to be buying a property long term. So those dynamics are very, very different then how baby boomers or even generation x, which had a very traditional buying home, a living and raise your family media for a number of years and then transitioned out of that home either by a sale or by keeping it maybe as a rental for launcher with goes. But that took place over generations as compared to how these two different dynamics exist within just the one dynamic, the demographic of the millennials. Uh, the other thing is who are these people? It's, it's stunning the dynamics that go into the demographic that is the millennial. Um, some of the thought process are the same and that has to do with, uh, certainly in terms of immediate gratification and we'd have to be willing to roll with this as we look at our real estate investing. These are individuals that want to have a property, have it very quickly, all literally to the point. And this is a really key indicator. Zillow has gone to the position now where they're actually flipping properties. Okay. What I mean by that is Zillow has been a platform for real estate agents for uh, also for lenders to put information out there. It's been a platform that is not that that was thought to be free valuation, but it was really about lead generation, uh, ages. We don't have people that are looking for how to just contact them so they can actually show him around, dry around the right to contract. In addition to that lead generation for lenders, um, rocket mortgage by quicken loans or whatever the case may be. All right, uh, lending tree, we want to be able to find someone that actually is going to come to Zillow. Uh, we're going to get their information and we're going to get in touch with them, sign them up, and we'll do the financing for the property they're going to buy. Well, Zillow's gone on a whole nother direction in terms of being a, a one point listing source. They're actually buying properties from the auction house, things of that nature, listing them themselves and then remarketing on right quick to buyers that just want a transaction right there on the Internet right now. And again, you have to have your eyes wide open in terms of preparing to do this because Zillow, that platform that we can go in identify a property that we, we're going under contract wholesale evaluated, right? And then we can list that property right there on a Zillow and they'll help us with their engine, not only to sell their units but sell ours as well. And that's how this dynamic of knowing and understanding the demographics, that age group, this millennial generation is coming along to really enhance for our success, the real estate investing that we're doing. So I love the content that I'm getting from this and just the ability to share. So this couldn't have been a better platform in real time to go through those dynamics of, you know, just what success folks who are having, what we wanted to do to move forward from where we are and what are we going to experience in the marketplaces demographically as we go forward to be successful in our real estate transactions.
Speaker 3:Excellent. I got a quick question that we're pushing our time here, but this is going to see if it may be a little bit of a curve ball for you. Okay. I like to see here, I observed because I've got a 28 25 year old also. And you know, I'm a guy that is now living full time in an RV just traveling about 300 5,400 square foot of space. Do you, from what you're reading and what you're seeing, do you believe that there is a movement for smaller, uh, you know, we know with tiny houses are out there and people are kind of in general accumulating less stuff. But do you see this generation that that you and I, our generation was, he keeps buying bigger, bigger, bigger, you know, you move into the thousand square foot, then you go 1500 then if you're really doing well you do 2,500 and then if you really do, you know you go to the five thousand six thousand and then by the time you're, you know, of of a good ripe, mature age, you're in a five six, seven, 8,000 square foot home full of stuff that now you and your spouse are living in or whatever. And it's like now what do we do with all this stuff? And you know, I'm kind of a self professed essential list. Minimalist. Do you see trends in those areas?
Speaker 1:Just as great question. I've just reviewed the article today and it's, this speaks to how market, how, how have the roof that markets and the rest of us were more consignors because we've talked about in prior conversations about these mega areas that are, well mega cities that are transitioned. So we have about 27 major cities throughout the United States that's going to grow to 37. One in particular is the Metro Tampa area. And I just read an article this morning about a tiny homes coming to and being developed in the Tampa, Florida real estate market. And it's really unique that this is not the snowbirds. This is not the individuals that are formally that bought in mobile home parks look like that. This is your millennial generation that is basically looking for a residence that's not more than a couple hundred square feet. Uh, and even though even though they plan on having family, so it is about this, you know, what's the, what's the, um, the, the, the best space I need to live in. That doesn't have to be a large home. So, you know, two bedrooms, a shared Bafa kind of stuff, really different dynamic in terms of what that, that article shared about the buyers in that specific marker, which just happens to be one of those mega cities that's going to grow differently. And some of the live work play and definitely inside a Hillsborough County, which is the core, a city where Tampa is located is not about sprawling and going bigger in the subdivision. It's about having smaller, more dynamic spaces right in town with access to lots of amenities, cultural dining, things of that nature.
Speaker 3:That's good. So we're going to keep an eye on that and fact it could be a good topic for the future because I want people listening in to be able to take advantage of those type trends and uh, you know, the, even our people that may even want to be in the development phase or, or, uh, you know, other than just acquisition and flipping, uh, because I think there's going to be a lot of opportunity there. Okay. We're, we're pushing our time here, but I want to address a couple of things and I'm going to mention them in them. Have you chime in and I'm watching our time here while we're doing. Um, one of the things that investor comps does is a few times of year we kind of gathered together. Um, we come together and we have an event and we kind of have themes for the two events during the year. But at the time of recording this, which is mid February ish a, we've got an event coming up towards the tail end of April. I wanted you to talk briefly about that. Let's go over a few items. Uh, we don't have a lot of time, but uh, but let's, let's let people know they're going to be listening to this, some of the opportunities there.
Speaker 1:It's really unique though because we hold these, the innovate for end of October, the, the spring is a great time to really get your business going, take advantage of the momentum of the housing market in that springtime of year. And October is a great time because that's when we're looking to buy for the next spring, for the next year. So they're strategically time. What's really good at this upcoming events if we're actually going to be working as sitting down with folks so that when they leave, they've actually got a deal under contract. And the beautiful part about having a[inaudible] at our disposal. We already know we've got folks coming in from South Florida of folks coming in from the northwest for the northeast. We have people coming in from the west coast and overwhelming regardless of what marketing are there is because we are using[inaudible] as our platform, the value of properties. We can look at all of those market areas very seamlessly with no delay whatsoever. What are unique parts about what we're doing at these events is I'm actually offering opportunity for folks to look over my shoulder on the deal that I put in a contract at the event live in real time and it goes back to that idea that you know you, once you learned this information, you keep it for a lifetime and you just have to exercise and over and over and over again. So being able to follow along with me as we take someone in the room, help them identify, deal with me, and then they just look over my shoulder for start to finish is really going to be a fun part and very, very dynamic part of what we'll be doing when we come together in April.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and I want to pause on that because I want to make sure everybody got a grasp from that. But we're going to have, we're going to have our people put a link in the, in the show notes in the notes below the podcast so that people can link. And if you're listening to this before the end of April, definitely sign up and come. We're going to be in Atlanta, uh, near the airport in Atlanta. So that's a good one. If you're happen to be listening to this later in the year, uh, we'll have one towards the tail end of October. So either way, just, uh, keeping close contact, but I want to make sure people grasp what you just said. Yeah. Because what we're going to do is we're going to give everyone the opportunity that comes, that registers and comes, they're going to have a chance to win that look over the shoulder, deal with mark, with Mj. But it doesn't just stop with the education. There is some available here. Tell him about that real quick before we get off the line because people, people should be salivating over there.
Speaker 1:I'm excited for all, for everyone that registers in a tense, they'll actually be a drawing where you'll be part of that next transaction. And I do, and by looking over my shoulder a being that winning stole, uh, you will actually also not only learn everything that I do along the deal and follow and be able to duplicate that as well. You're going to earn 30% of the net profits on that transaction. Just like one of my coaching students would do. All you have to do is be in the room to have the opportunity to get that benefit. So, you know, that's better than taking the survey at Taco Bell. Man. I'll tell you what,
Speaker 3:that's awesome. And you know, one of the things I want to circle back to the beginning here. Um, we talked about Ali at the beginning of this podcast and we're wrapping. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah. And, and one of the things, first of all, you can get around Ali cause I'm pretty confident he's going to be at our conferences, but, uh, a year and a half, two years ago is when he started at one of these events, correct?
Speaker 1:Yes. Less than a year ago. As a matter of fact. Yes. Here, yeah. Most of the year ago at the time that we're having this conversation about about 10 months ago. Absolutely.
Speaker 3:Yeah. So, so that's another principle. If we were talking about, um, you know, taking action in a principle that Ali had that has led to his success. It was going from Gary, Indiana too. I think we, there either in Tampa that, that time or, uh, somewhere in Atlanta. He had to go somewhere to a 10 and then he made the decision to get involved with the coaching and things. So anyway, I, Ali, he's, he's been sprinkled throughout this podcast. Maybe we should've just let him do it.
Speaker 1:We look forward to having a, when you come together with us for all of those, they get advantage of the offer that we'll have and at the end investor summit.
Speaker 3:Absolutely. So anyway, mark, I've really enjoyed this cause I, I maybe it's my attention span or whatever, but I kind of like jumping around a little bit. Uh, you know, at times we do a deep dive into certain topics, but on this one we kind of, we covered a lot in a short period of timeframe. So what I encourage people to use, number one, listen to this again. Uh, but also if, uh, if it, if you get some good info from it and give it a thumbs up, give us a rating on whatever format and you listened to your podcast on and share it, share it with a others that you, uh, you know, that might have interest in this and uh, so that we can kind of get the word out and start getting us some good, good podcasts. Love going, you know, and kind of share it out cause we're early on in this, we're excited about it and we're fun with it. Anything, any last thoughts or words mark?
Speaker 1:I enjoy doing these to him. It is a wonderful way. There's carriage share and really get focused on what it takes to move your business forward. Real estate works and it works for everyone that's listening here. It's just a matter of taking evaluation first approach, being consistent and just making sure that you don't put yourself in a situation where you're, you can't identify that profit right? When you're buying that identified that profit, making a profit and you buy it makes all the difference in the world for a very fruitful, successful and long lasting gross invest investing career.
Speaker 3:Excellent. Well thank you Martin for taking the time. Thank you everyone who's listened in and for sharing and rating us and we'll look forward to seeing many of you probably in April or an upcoming event, but uh, we'll definitely be able to let you listen in and, and interact with you on the next podcast. Thank you all.
Speaker 1:All right. Take good care of buddy.
