Deals Deals Deals
In the past couple of months I’ve seen a dramatic uptick in the number of deals that are coming into my email. I’m getting an average of 10 deals a day being offered to me. Most of these are not a fit. On today's episode we do a deep dive on two deals that we passed on and explain why.

When to Quit Your Job?
On today's show we are talking about making the transition from full time employee to full-time real estate investor.
This is one of the most difficult pathways to navigate. Some people think that they will wait to accumulate enough real estate to replace their employment income and then they will quit their job. After all, real estate brings passive income, doesn't it?

Sprint or Marathon, Stocks or Real Estate?
In two days last week, the stock market lost 5% of its value, and then rebounded partly on Friday. There's no question that over 100m, a sprinter is faster than a distance runner. But life isn't a sprint, and you can't sprint a marathon.

WeWork Reminds Me of Lehman Brothers
WeWork has grown from a single location in NYC 8 years ago to now being the largest single occupant of office space in New York with over 5.3 million square feet of office space. They have a massive enterprise valuation at $20B and they have yet to turn a profit. Even though they're big, the same math rules apply that would apply to a small business.

The Global Ripple Effect of US Interest Rates
Today we’re talking about whether higher US interest rates cause other countries to have financial trouble, and ultimately trigger the next global financial crisis. Italy's yield on 10 year debt reached a new 4 year high this week. Pakistan has raised interest rates and signaled to the IMF that it will seek a bailout.
