Partnerships in real estate—and in life—aren’t just about splitting profits. They’re about balancing risk, reward, and responsibility. In this episode, we dive into the mindset behind successful deal-making, inspired by Sam Zell’s approach to structuring partnerships. 

Are you giving too much, or are you holding back opportunities from those who’ve proven themselves? Sometimes, equity isn’t just about numbers—it’s about trust and performance. Tune in as we unpack how to create partnerships that actually work, both in business and beyond.

Do you have a favorite real estate quotes or mantra that drives you? I would say it's a real estate quote that drives me, but I have read a book. Am I being too subtle? He's a real estate model Sam Zell. Okay. And Sam Zell is one of the most prolific real estate developers, owners, investors. He's masterful. I would say, listen to that book and just start learning about real estate and putting deals together and structuring. And, I think he, in that book, he says something like. If you're going to be in a partnership, you got to make sure there's equitable amount of risk for equitable amount of return, right? So something along those lines where if you're going to go in, like you're going to try to, and sometimes it's 70 30, sometimes it's 50 50, sometimes it's 60 40, you got to figure that out. sometimes he would structure partnerships, he would start out 80 20. And as those people prove themselves, he'd give them more and more. And so it's just a, it's a mindset. It's not just, it's more caught than taught is what I'm saying. Right. So, so check out that book. Am I being too subtle? Sam Zell. Sam Zell is definitely a credible source.
