MFREE 100 Trailer # 2 with Michael Pouliot: Are your reserves as strong as your returns?
In this episode, Michael Pouliot dives into a philosophy that’s less about hype and more about durability: margin of safety. Taken from Benjamin Graham and adopted by Warren Buffet, this principle reminds us that it’s not about getting the highest return—it’s about protecting what you’ve built. From keeping reserves, to smart acquisitions, to choosing the right debt structure—Mike breaks down how to build a portfolio that weathers the storm and thrives long-term. If you're investing without buffers, you might just be gambling.

Mike, I wanna ask you this first question though. do you have a favorite real estate quote or philosophy or mantra that drives you?
Michael Pouliot:I, I don't know if I have a specific quote that I could say off the top of my head that I wouldn't butcher. but I would say, a philosophy or a mantra would be margin of safety, which is a Benjamin Graham and I. philosophy, who, and then that was taken by Warren Buffet and, I think it's, something that a lot of people think about, but, margin of safety when you're buying real estate and you're dealing in real assets, margin of safety is really important. Whether that's about having good reserves, about buying at the right price, about, capitalizing your deals appropriately with the right type of debt. so margin of safety is really important concept, and I think if you apply that. In your acquisitions and in your management. you you can weather a lot of storms.
Hutch The Marine Investor:Absolutely, man,
