 “It all depends on like, what your goals are in life. And like, what do you want? And like, why do you believe that real estate is a good investment vehicle? You and I both believe that right? You can pay five different ways in real estate, you don’t do that in the stock market.” [00:05:00]

 “What better way for me to learn the business by being a passive investor because I get to be in the deal, see the whole operations.” [00:11:33]

 “So you know, once we check the box that you want to be passive, then you have to understand what are you in it for? Are you in it for cash flow or appreciation? Or some balance of both? Right? Because that determines what type of investment strategy are you going to go into and what kind of risk you’re taking in the investment.” [00:11:55]
