• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Man a lot to talk about me. We'll talk about
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: some of that stuff on this conversation because it does
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: relate to real estate. But if you've been following what
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: we've been doing over the last couple of months, we've
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: been having this how to series every few weeks where
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: it's interviewing a professional in uh in an area, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: it's more of a critical breakdown as far as as
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: opposed to an interview where we're just picking one particular
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: topic and we're just going through it like Okay, tell
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: me about this, tell me about that. Sometimes they have slides,
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: and it's been really successful. We've done it on artificial intelligence,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: we've done it on credit, we've done it on taxes
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: and The first person that we did with was Matt
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: mg the mortgage guy. We did it probably like six
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: months ago, and he did home buying, home buying process
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: for like people that's buying their first homes. So now
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: we're getting up for in vest Fast and we wanted
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: to revisit the conversation with real estate and this time
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: we're going to talk about a few things that we
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: didn't talk about last time. And we're going to talk about,
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: you know, how to how to make money in real
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: estate in some some conventional ways, some non conventional waves,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: some ways that you're not even thinking about. So this
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: is going to be a good one. This is going
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: to be a good one. So let's let's bring them up.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: NHow and gizzl. What's good?
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: My god?
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: You know, alive and blessed, thank God for another day.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: What's good man?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Everything's good man. I think this is an important conversation.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: As we've grown, as our audience has grown, people have
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: bought homes and that's great, and we've seen that increase
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: in our communities, which is important.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: But the other piece is that there are people.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Who want to invest in real estate figure out how
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: to make money in real estate, which is less talked about,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: So I'm glad we're going to be able to uncover
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: some of that tonight.
• 3:27

• 5:49
  Speaker 3: We talked about real estate, like I said the last
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: time you was on, but there was a few things
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: that we didn't talk about. So I definitely want to
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: talk about house hacking, want to talk about you know different,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: might be a little bit different in twenty twenty five
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: going into twenty twenty six as far as on the
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: home buying investing side. But before we start, let's let's
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: really talk about other ways to make money in real
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: estate outside of the traditional buying a home right like
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: as far as even doing real estate as a profession,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: and a lot of people think about realtate as a profession,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: think about you know, selling homes as an agent to
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: sell to sell homes. But you have a unique theory
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: that we need more people in other areas, so talk
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: about that.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, man, again, thank you guys for having me. I
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: always appreciate it be here and especially talking about this
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: topic because I really feel as if the mortgage business
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: saved my life. You know, twenty plus years ago, college dropout,
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: didn't really know what I was going to do with
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: my life to be honest with you. And my best
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: friend who's a pastor who's also going to be a
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: tost best fill up, Anthony Mitchell probably probably the most
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: viral pastor in America in twenty two, twenty five. You know,
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: we grew up together and he's the one who told
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: me to become a loan officer. And in fact, I thought,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: you know, he's trying to tell me be a cop.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: At first, I'm like, I was a loan officer. Bro, Like,
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I'm not being no cop. He's like, nah, you know,
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: it's the people who give people a mortgage. I didn't
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: even know what a mortgage was, right, He was like,
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: it's a loan that people get to buy a house with.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: And this was two thousand and three and I've been
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: in the industry ever since. And it changed the trajectory
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: of my life, my children's life. You know, I have
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: you know, shout out to Brooks. She's in college right now.
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: She has no student loans. And you know, my son's
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: graduated high school this month and he's going to go
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: to college with no student loans. So it's been able
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: to set up a trajectory in my life that I
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: was able to break generational curses, not just from a
• 7:47
  Speaker 5: home ownership standpoint, just from a financial standpoint. And it
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: was being in a mortgage business. So when people look
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: to get into this business, they look at being a
• 7:56
  Speaker 5: real estate agent. Right. When you have all these shows
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: that highlight selling homes, right, you have the million dollar listings,
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: you have the Ryan Surhans of the world. Right, all
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: these shows glorified being the real estate agent. The real
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: estate agent is the rock star. But guess what, ladies
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: and gentlemen. I hate to be the bear of bad news,
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: but these folks are getting loans, right. These folks are
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: not sitting out here buying all these properties all cash,
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: no matter what the TV will tell you. Right, people
• 8:24
  Speaker 5: are getting finance. And it has to be someone that's
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: doing a loan. And that's basically what I do. But
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: we don't get the credit, we don't get the recognition
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: as loan officers because we're pretty much people think of us.
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: We're just stuck behind the computer in the bank.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: And with platforms like Earn Your Leisure giving me an
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: opportunity to talk about my genius, which is real estate finance,
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: and it's put us now on a platform to where
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: people are now being influenced by me and now getting
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: into the industry. I can't tell you, guys, over the
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: past six seven years how many people said they got
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: into the mortgage business because of I releasure podcasts. I'm
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: watching me on the podcast. So I wanted to have
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: that conversation that kind of to the audience to kind
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: of break down like, look, this is the route. If
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: you want to get into real estate and you might
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: not have all the money to buy your first home
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: a duplex, buy investment properties, you should really get into
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: the mortgage industry. And it doesn't take much for you
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: to do so. You have to be eighteen years or older,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: have no felonies on your record. Take a twenty hour
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: pre licensing education exam. It's called the Safe Act, the
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Safe Exam, right, and it's only twenty hours, right, think
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: about twenty hours. That's three days if you go to
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: class in person doing so work.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: To walk me through the process. Like if I myself
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: wanting to do this today, right, I'm not. I can't
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: take a twenty hour test because I don't know what's
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: on the information. So okay, is it a self study?
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: Like is it like a Capitlin thing where you could
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: actually buy a course to help you study for the
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: test and then take the test online.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: Good question, So you can do it in person or virtually. Right,
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: if you do it in person, you can do it.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Break that twenty hours into Most schools will offer it
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: just in a week. Right, you can break it that
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: twenty hours until a week. But if you do it
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: online you could do it self study. They'll probably give
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: you two to three weeks to complete that twenty hours.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: So whatever floats your boat, you can do it. The
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: investment to get into this twenty hour class is going
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: to cost you around five six hundred dollars only.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: And then so you're learning as you're taking the test, so.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: You're learning the laws. Right, So the licensing exam is
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: going to teach you the laws. It's not going to
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: teach you sales. It's not going to teach you product knowledge.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: It's going to teach you the laws. So that way
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: you don't commit fraud and get locked up. Period. Very important,
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: very extremely important. Here at earn your Leision Network, we
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: do not promote mortgage fraud or any type of fraud
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: at all. Right, so this is going to teach you
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: how to keep yourself out of jail, do the right thing.
• 11:09
  Speaker 5: But it's only twenty hours Fellas, it's not a long
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: time in retrospect. So once you pass the class, then
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: you have to take the federal exam. The federal exam
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: is probably a couple hours long. Let's just call it
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: two hours long. I haven't taken it in ten fifteen years,
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: but it's probably like two hours two hours to three
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: hours long. And you have up to three chances to
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: take the federal exam. If you fail three times, then
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: you have to wait I think six to twelve months
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: before you can retake it again. But the key is
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: before you take your federal exam, you should take practice
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: practice exams right because they mimic exactly what's going to
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: be on a federal exam. And once you start getting
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: over seventy five to eighty consistently, then you're ready to
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: take that federal exam. But once you pass the federal exam,
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: then boom. You have to now find a lender or
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: a mortgage broker that's going to sponsor your license, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: then your license will be issued. Depending on the state,
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: it can take anywhere up to thirty days to six months,
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: like New York is the slowest. I think New York
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: is the slowest with everything in life. Right, to get
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: your New York license, from the time you submit to
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: the time they approve it, it can take about six
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: to eight months, but states like New Jersey, Florida, Georgia
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: you can get those within thirty days tops. But the
• 12:36
  Speaker 5: key to all of this you have to work for
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: a mortgage lender or a mortgage broker that are licensed
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: in these states. So it's a wonderful career path for
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: anyone who likes numbers, who likes customer service, and does sales.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: So if you are currently a CPA, even if you're
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: a current real estate agent, you can have your real
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: estate license and your mortgage license simultaneously so you can
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: do both sides of the transaction. You can't do both
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: sides of the transaction if you are doing an FHA deal,
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: but if you're doing conventional deals, you're doing commercial deals
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: investment properties, you can be the relta and the loan
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: officer on that same transaction and you can double depth, right,
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: which a lot of people don't understand. So if you're
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: a CPA, if you're car salesman, if you're a customer
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: service rep, if you work in one of these department stores.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: These are all good jobs that translate very well in
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: the mortgage industry.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: So once I passed that I got my license, somebody
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: has now sponsored me. Do I ever have to renew
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: my license? Or am I good? And then I guess
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: the two fold question. The most important part is like
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: how do I make money? You talked about agents, and
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: we watch these shows and I'm guilty of it as well,
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: and we watched that they get commissioned from the sale.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: How does that work for somebody in.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: So the answer the first part of that question is yes,
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: you have to renew on an annual basis. You have
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: to do continual education every single year. So the more
• 14:10
  Speaker 5: licenses that you have under your belt, the more continual
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: education you have to do annually. Some states you have
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: to do two hours, some states you have to do
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: three hours, and it has to all will be done
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: before December thirty first of that calendar year. Right, So
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: you can hold your license in multiple states. So let's
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: just say, for example, we're based in New York. I've
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: worked for a New York based company, but the company
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: is licensed nationwide. I can hold an individual loan office
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: an mL license in each of those states that the
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: company that I work for work for is also licensing
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: because they can sponsor me in each of those states.
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: But if I have fifty licenses, right, for example, then
• 14:50
  Speaker 5: I have to do fifty continual educations, right, So it
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: can get very costly too. So now every time you
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: go to submit your license, depending on the state, now
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: it can cost you three to five hundred dollars for
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: file and fees, state license and fees, things of that nature.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: So it can add up, especially when you're doing continuation.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: So you don't want to get licensed all across America.
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: That's number one. So yeah, to answer your question, you
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: have to maintain your license with doing annual continual education. Now,
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: how do you make money in this business? That's the
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: million dollar question. Every loan officer has a comp plan,
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: a compensation plan, and depending on where you work, right,
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: whether it's a mortgage company, a mortgage broker, everybody's comp
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: plan is going to be different. But on average, I
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: would say the average loan officer comp plan can be
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: around one point or one hundred basis points or one
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: hundred BIPs as we say in my industry. Right, So
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: in layman terms, every million dollars that you close, you'll
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: make one percent of that, which is ten thousand dollars.
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: So think about this, right, we live in a world
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: where home prices or go rocking a nationwide. I mean,
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: if you look in your neighborhood, the average price is
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: over a million dollars here in New York. If you
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: do one deal a month at a million dollars, that's
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: ten thousand dollars in commission that you can make, even
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: if you live in a state where the average price
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: is not a million dollars. Right, let's just say it's
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: four hundred thousand. Every four hundred thousand dollar deal you
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: do is four thousand dollars. You do two deals a month,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: eight hundred thousand dollars in loan value every single month,
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: that's eight eight thousand dollars a month. Times that by twelve,
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: that's a six figure career. Now, most people in America
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: are not making six figures. But I guarantee you everybody
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: who's watching this no more than twenty people who probably
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: purchased a home in the last twelve to eighteen months. Right,
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: So it's an opportunity for folks, especially those who are
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: looking to make more money, right, those who are stuck
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: at jobs that they hate, that they are not being fulfilled.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: This is a career opportunity where you can people but
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: earn at the same time learn and then also now
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: achieve your goals with it.
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: The country that has to follow up really quickly, So
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: I can't do that independently. Right that that company that
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: sponsored me, that brokerage, I have to stay with them
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: for I would assume a certain amount of time. So
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I build my own business. And at what point can
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: you turn this into an independent situation?
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah? Absolutely, so you can definitely become your own independent
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: mortgage broker. You have to get your mortgage broker license
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: and then once you get your mortgage broker license, you
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: can open up your own shop. Now, obviously you don't
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: want to do You don't want to get your own
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: broker license with no booker business, right because it just
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: defeasts the purpose. Why open up if you ain't You
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: ain't got the money to keep up your overhead. Now
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: it's going to be a little bit more expensive because
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: you have compliance you have as an owner of the company,
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: you have a little bit more that you have to
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: invest into it. But if you have a good solid
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: book of business. I think if you work in this
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: industry for two three years, build a solid book of business.
• 18:01
  Speaker 5: And if you're unhappy with the companies that you work
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: on you want to create your own destiny, then by
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: all means, get your mortgage broker license and open up shop.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: And you know, in Rock and Roll, you know there's
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: a lot of people out there that choose to go
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: that route. Me personally, I haven't opened up my own
• 18:18
  Speaker 5: broken shop because I make the majority of the money
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: right now without the compliance and without the risk of
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: owning a company. So you got to understand when you're
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: in this business. Because of the crash that happened a
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: great recession, there's a lot of rules and regulations on
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: the mortgage side. So for me, it's just from a
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: financial perspective, it doesn't benefit me to quote unquote own
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: the company. I just negotiate good deals to where I
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: can get the line shared and I can participate in
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: some of the back end secondary market stuff that you know,
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: that's a whole other topic for a whole nother day,
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: but but you know, it's very lucrative mean in my
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: role for me to eat that way and not have
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: the risk that's associated with ownership. But yes, you can
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: do that.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: Not true, Yeah, no, that was great. I mean because
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: you know about trades a lot as far as you know,
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: we need electricians, we need plumbers, but we also need
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: people that's in these type of professions, right like we
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: need loan officers, and that's something that you can actually,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: you know, do make six figures a year potentially and
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: still do something else as well, still invest in real estate,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: still still trade stock, still be an entrepreneur. So when
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: we're just looking at the New Age economy as far
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: as you know, where people are going to actually be needed.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: As of right now, we still need loan officers. Like
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: AI hasn't taken that job. So that's something that you
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: can actually do and doesn't you don't have to have
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: a master's degree in real estate to figure this out,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: like you can actually you know, if you got some hustle,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: some with about yourself, you can you can make some money.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: So we're going to talk about the real estate side
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: as far as you know, the and stuff like that,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: but wanted to lead with that because that's something that
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: it might not be as sexy, but that's that's important
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: to have that information that you know, you can go
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: down that path and at least have some income while
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: you're trying to figure things out.
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's important. One thing you just saverish
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: out is very important is representation. Right when you go
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: into these banks, you don't see too many people that
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: look like us. When you look at the average loan
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: off for certain America, we are the smallest percentage of
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: people that are out here right and loans and there's
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: a lot of you know us. You know, the black
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: home ownership rate is starting to increase gradually. Right, we're
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: at forty four percent, which is still the lowest, but
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: you have to also look at that as the opportunity too, Right,
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: we have the lowest home ownership rate, and when we
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: have platforms like EYL, that's teaching us all about stocks
• 20:51
  Speaker 5: and options and how to run these different plays where
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: you're going to dump your money for the tax taven
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: real estate. Right, So it's an opportunity for us to
• 21:00
  Speaker 5: get into this business and honestly take it over and
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: help a lot of us become owners. And the more
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: you learn, the more you earn at the end of
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: the day. So if you take the real estate finance
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: in side. Seriously, you're going to be a hell of
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: an investor too, because you want to know how to
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: fund your deals. You're going to know the banks that
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: are doing this type of deal versus that type of
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: deal where the average real estate agent and all honest
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: and there is no disrespect to my realtors. I love y'all,
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: but most real estate agents, most real estate agents don't
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: have a clue about real estate finance and which banks
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: can do what and do it very well. So if
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: you are looking for a career that, like you said,
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: can make six figures, can make seven figures, can fund
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: your lifestyle and help you get into the real estate
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: investing aspect of things, look no further than invest in
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: less than a thousand dollars into getting your licenses and
• 21:54
  Speaker 5: getting your license sponsored by a mortgage mortgage broker and
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: come over to the dark side to come get some
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: of this money and help our people win.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Fat So, okay, we're going to get into it. But
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: first investst I talked about the lineup. We are doing
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: a special raffle for this week only. It started on Monday.

  Speaker 5: three two one strategy, where that's the strategy where you
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: can get up to ten ten doors and four years.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: I'm talking about another different strategy that we'll talk about
• 23:29

• 23:36
  Speaker 5: how to boosh your credit business funding, how to find properties,

• 24:09
  Speaker 5: you know, everybody have the same life mind. Everybody's trying
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: to get doors right. Affordability is a big issue in
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: America today, and the best way to buy real estate,
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: in my opinion, is if you're house hacking right now.
• 24:22

• 29:11
  Speaker 3: I am I Am. I posted on Instagram earlier this morning.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: So I am going to talk a little bit at
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: the end about the China play that's like the added bonus,
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: because I've been getting a lot of questions about that. Please,
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: But let's let's talk about some house hacking. Right, you
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: have a new strategy.
• 29:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so with the house hacking, and I kind of
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: go into a lot of details about this in the
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: program as well, but I give you guys a little
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: preview of it. Let's call a spat of spade. Right,
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: over eighty five percent of US homes are either single
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: family or duplax. So I know you guys heard me
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: talk about four three two one all the time, but
• 29:54
  Speaker 5: that's just not reality for the majority of America. But
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: just because you can't get a three or four family,
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: it doesn't mean you can't build wealth with the strategy. Right.
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: So the strategy is the two two two one method. Right,
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: start with one house, scale to six to eight doors. Now,
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: this is perfect for areas like if you're in Georgia,
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: if you're in Texas, if you're in the South, right,
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: you're going to have a lot of duplexes in these areas. Right,
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: So the strategy, and you guys can screenshot this if
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: you're watching this right now, screenshot it and you can
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: go through it later. But the strategy is, you buy duplex,
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: live in one unit, rent the other one. Right. You
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: can use FAHA loan three and a half percent down,
• 30:41
  Speaker 5: or you can use a conventional loan with five percent down.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: The ten is going to cover the most the majority
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: of your mortgage or all of the mortgagees depending on
• 30:50
  Speaker 5: what type of rental strategy you're gonna use. But the
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: goal is again, live in one living this four year,
• 30:57
  Speaker 5: maybe two years, just depending on you're living situation in life, right,
• 31:02
  Speaker 5: and then you go into the next property and you
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: just repeat the process. Now a lot of people will
• 31:08
  Speaker 5: probably look at this and say, man, I know you
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: talk four three two one, so why can't we do
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: four four four four to one. It's more difficult to
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: go from one four family to another because then the
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: underwriters are going to really look at like where is
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: that four family located, the size of the four family,
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: and et cetera, et cetera. So it's much easier to
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: do a two to two because most areas that have
• 31:33
  Speaker 5: that are dominated with duplexes. These are all in good areas.
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: If you have a lot of four families, most of
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: these are more so in the hood. So what's really
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: the motivation from moving to one hood spot to another
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: hood spot? And it's basically in the same neighborhood. When
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: you what I see around America with the duplexus, they
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: are positioned, you know, in high quality, good areas, So
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: it's a little bit easier to say, hey, move from
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: a different area, different school district, et cetera, a better neighborhood,
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: bigger apartment. It makes more sense. So this is a
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: strategy that I've done for years with you know, hundreds
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: of my clients, and they've scaled and built their portfolio
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: this way. So again, you guys, take a screenshot. I'm
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: not gonna you can kind of go through this on
• 32:22
  Speaker 5: your own. But the truth of it is, you don't
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: need a three or four unit to build wealth. You
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: just need intentional buying and creative monetization with strategic reinvestment
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: to build wealth in real estate. Now, if you do
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: the single family and duplex house hat play, short term
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: rental income is probably going to be the key to
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: your success. Now, first of all, I'm gonna tell you, guys,
• 32:48
  Speaker 5: check your rules and your regulations when it comes to
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: short term rentals like Airbnb and things like that, because
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: these rules and regulations have been trained in nationwide, city
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: to city, so you want to make sure that that
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: you're meeting all the compliance and guidelines of your area.
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: But the average daily rate as of August of twenty
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: twenty four for short term rentals in the US was
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: about three hundred and twenty nine dollars a night right
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: and in twenty twenty five short term rental occupancy rates
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: from sites like AIRDNA, And you guys can go to
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: AIRDNA and look up all the stats of yourself. They're
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: all rebounding. So this is an opportunity for you guys
• 33:33
  Speaker 5: to go out here and buy these type of properties
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: and use short term rental hacks, use mid term rental
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: hacks to create more revenue. Now, in twenty twenty four,
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: the average revenue for a short term rental hosts was
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: around thirty six thousand dollars a year. Now, depending on
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: your mortgage loan amount, interest rates, and your payment, if
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: you're able to generate about thirty six thousand on average
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: a year, this is going to pay majority of your
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: mortgage for the year. And then you guys, you have
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: you have things out there, like if you have a
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: swimming pool. I'm not sure if you guys, have you
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: ever heard her think called swimpleing.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: No, is that when you rent the pool, you.
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: Can rent you can rent your you can rent out
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: your backyard, right, you can run out your backyard. You
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: can run out your pool like I have one of
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: my mentees every year she rents out her backyard, her
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: pool here in New York, and it pays her mortgage
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: for the year. Like it's incredible, right because people treat
• 34:40
  Speaker 5: that like an event space for the day. Right. So
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: you can have somebody's backyard for eight to ten hours
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: and you're paying two three hundred dollars an hour for
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: the full use of their backyard and the swimming pool.
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: So there's so many different ways to house hack and
• 34:58
  Speaker 5: generate money with the same family or a duplex to
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: make it more affordable. Now, also, here's another thing that
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: people don't really realize is that border income, aka if
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: you have a roommate. What people don't know is Fanny
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: May will allow you to use this border income to
• 35:18
  Speaker 5: help you qualify for a mortgage under the Fannie Main
• 35:22
  Speaker 5: Home Ready program. Now, the requirements is the borrower must
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: have a history of receiving that rental income for at
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: least nine of the past twelve months, and you need
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: documentation such as your lease agreement and show proof or
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: receipt that your roommate has been paying you to or
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: since y'all live in an apartment together. And then you
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: can use that income to help you qualify for a mortgage.
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: So to break that down just in quick layman terms,
• 35:52
  Speaker 5: if you are living with someone right now and you
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: have a lease and they're on the lease with you,
• 35:57
  Speaker 5: if they're your bona fide roommate, not just someone who
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: just in the house and you say, hey, they live here, No,
• 36:03
  Speaker 5: they have to be on your lease. If you know
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: you are in position to qualify for a mortgage faster
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: than they are, what you should do is collect the
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: money their portion of the rent money from them, tell
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: them to zeale it to you, cash ap it, whatever
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: it is, and make sure you put that is on
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: the memo January's rent, February's rent, March rent, right, so
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: we can document it that they've been paying you, and
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: then you go ahead and pay your landlord from your account.
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: If you do that nine months out of the past twelve,
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: then when you go qualify for your mortgage, you can
• 36:43
  Speaker 5: use that rental income as part of your income to
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: help you qualify for your mortgage. Y'all got one, I'm
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: going with this.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: I see where you're going with this. Documentation is important.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Making sure you're keeping records is important, and that goes
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: if you're buying an individual but even more so in
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: this situation when you're trying to have investment property.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: So you might you've unlocked something here. Let's go back
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: a little bit. Oh all right, if you're in a
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: relationship with somebody, right, and we talked about fifty to
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: fifty a lot right on these different shows and podcasts.
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: But that's a real thing though, where somebody lives with
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: somebody and they're contributing. They're contributing to something, but most
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: of the time they're just giving a person money. So
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: it's usually either male or female. Somebody has a lease
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: in their name and they meet somebody and after a while,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: and then that person just kind of ends up living
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: with that person. They may not never be on the lease, correct,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: And they're contributing financially on a certain level, but there's
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: no real documented record of them contributing financially.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: Correct.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: You're saying that boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever, you're living with somebody,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: that should be something that's documented because if it is documented,
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: and what is it called, so.
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: It's border income. Right. So if in that same situation
• 38:09
  Speaker 5: you have the girlfriend, let's just say the boyfriend and
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: the girlfriend moves in, right, Let's say that situation, the
• 38:16
  Speaker 5: lease is in the boyfriend's name. But y'all splitting it
• 38:19
  Speaker 5: fifty to fifty. As Rashad said, the girlfriend is not
• 38:23
  Speaker 5: on the lease. Boyfriend is in position a year from
• 38:28
  Speaker 5: now he wants to go buy a house for them
• 38:30
  Speaker 5: to live in. He should now put her on the
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: lease of the apartment. And then now when she's making
• 38:38
  Speaker 5: that contribution, don't make it on make it cash. She
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: should zeal him a wire transfer, a cash app put
• 38:47
  Speaker 5: on the memo it's for her portion of the rent
• 38:51
  Speaker 5: as long as we have that document nine out of
• 38:54
  Speaker 5: twelve months. And then now the boyfriend goes to get
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: pre approved and says that, hey, this is my roommate.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: She is going to live in the house with me. Now,
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: from a lending perspective, I can use the portion of
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: that rental income that she's paying. Let's just say it's
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: one thousand dollars a month.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, clean number, one thousand dollars
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: a month, right, wee on the member. I'm putting five
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: hundred dollars in toward that.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: At the end of the year.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: Let's say it's the twelve months. Now it's an additional
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: six thousand dollars that you have an income.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: Correct that's now is going to be used for the
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: boyfriend doing his prey approval to help them qualify for
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: more of a house. It's a clean way of qualifying
• 39:42
  Speaker 5: with using this roommate income because your roommates. Right at
• 39:48
  Speaker 5: the end of the day, you're not legally married. You know,
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: you're technically single in the eyes of the law. Boyfriend
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: and girlfriend is not a marital status r either last
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: time I checked. So you're legally single. This is your roommates.
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: So if you do it that way, now that rental
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: income can now be used to help qualify for a mortgage. Now,
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: I know some people are going to say, why won't
• 40:15
  Speaker 5: she just go on the mortgage with him this Now
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: we talk about divide and conquer. Let's just say now
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: they move into this house, they get approved, and they
• 40:26
  Speaker 5: wind up separating. Right now, she doesn't have a mortgage
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: in her name. She can still go out here and
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: buy a duplex, a single family and house hack her
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: life away as well. So, just depending on your circumstances
• 40:43
  Speaker 5: in your situation, if you understand real estate finance and
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: in these programs that are out there, and if you
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: set your documentation up the right way, you can really
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: go out here and scale at a very high level
• 40:56
  Speaker 5: and reap all the benefits of wealth building with real estate.
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: If you know exactly what you're doing.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: That's a very vital play man. I never heard that.
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you brote that down before.
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: It doesn't have to be boyfriend girlfriend either, because there's
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: a lot of scenario. Somebody lives with somebody.
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: It could just be your college roommates, or it could
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: could it be parent child, No, it can't be parent
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: a child. Right, But let's think about college roommates. Think
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: about what's just happened to manage you. And we have
• 41:24
  Speaker 5: all these college graduates, right, most of them have what
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: roommates for the majority. So, first of all, if you
• 41:32
  Speaker 5: just graduated college, congratulations, right, but did you know that
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: you can use your college education as your work history.
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: You don't need a two year job history. You can
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: use your college history as work history. Did you guys
• 41:46
  Speaker 5: know that?
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: See that again?
• 41:48
  Speaker 5: So you just graduated from college, you did your undergrad
• 41:51
  Speaker 5: right four years you're twenty two years old. You're graduating.
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: You just got a job offer from you know, earn
• 41:59
  Speaker 5: your lead your entertainment, and you're going to start and
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: you're going to be the marketing manager. You're making a
• 42:04
  Speaker 5: base salary at one hundred thousand dollars, and you have
• 42:06
  Speaker 5: an awful letter from Earn your Leisure Entertainment to start August. First,
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: you don't need to work at Earn your Leisure Entertainment
• 42:14
  Speaker 5: for two years. You have your college history for four years.
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: That's your work history. You can now present that offer
• 42:22
  Speaker 5: letter and your first past up and you can buy
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: a house.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Immediately, so you can use college as work experience.
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: Absolutelyely has that always been the case? Absolutely absolutely right?
• 42:40
  Speaker 5: And now if you freak it, you got that college
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: history four years, you got your degree. But during college
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: you have a single family home that you was renting out,
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: and now your roommate is on the lease. If you
• 42:57
  Speaker 5: do what we just said with the boyfriend and girlfriend scenario,
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: roomate starts paying you, and you know you have a
• 43:02
  Speaker 5: better chance of getting the house faster than them have
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: them pay you. Now, first of all, everybody got to
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: be on the same page with this, right. Everybody got
• 43:12
  Speaker 5: to be a team effort here. So now they pay
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: you instead of paying their portion of the rank, you
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: pay the landlord, and now you can use that border.
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: Now only can you use the offer letter from Arnur
• 43:23
  Speaker 5: Leisure Entertainment. You can also use that roommate income to
• 43:26
  Speaker 5: help you qualify, because now that roommate is going to
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: move into your house with you as well continue to
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: be a roommate.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: And that offer letter is kind of one of those
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: things that you kind of need to have in order
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: to this work.
• 43:39
  Speaker 5: You can't just go we need to need to show
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: that you got a job, right, right, We need to
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: show that you have a job, and it's a start
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: date and you can go ahead and get pre approved,
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: but one of the pre approval conditions is going to be, hey,
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: when you get into contract, we need to know that
• 43:57
  Speaker 5: you're working. Now we need to see pay stubs from
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: earn your Leisure Entertainment. As we're using that example to
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: show those pay stubs. So that way now and it
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: matches up with the income from the offer letter, then boom,
• 44:14
  Speaker 5: you use that as long as your credits go your
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: DTI works. You don't have to wait two years to qualify.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good had because there's plenty of college
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: students who there's three roommates, but there's the one person
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: who gets the lease.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: If that person now looks at those two and that
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: you've just seen it for one roommate. Yeah, eventually that
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: could be two or three roommates that are paying them.
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: To that documentation port it becomes even more important exactly.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: But the key is everybody has to be on the lease, right,
• 44:42
  Speaker 5: everyone has to pay you, and then everyone has to
• 44:46
  Speaker 5: be moving into your house because now it's border income
• 44:50
  Speaker 5: roommate income, and we're using that to help qualify, So
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: it needs to sustain to the new house, right. The
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: key so if everybody's on the same page, this could
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: be a home run. But here's how we even go
• 45:02
  Speaker 5: a little bit deeper with this pause. If you buy
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: a home that has an ADU, an necessory dwelling unit
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: on it, right, everybody type EIGHTYU in chat. If you
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: have an ADU, you can use rental income from an
• 45:20
  Speaker 5: ADU and it can help you qualify. So let's just say,
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: for example, you don't have the roommates, you live by yourself,
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: but you just graduated college and you want to use
• 45:31
  Speaker 5: that college degree hack, right, but you might be short
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: rent with income to qualify. You find a house that
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: has an ADU and we can use that rental income
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: from the ADU to help you qualify as well. And
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: when you get into the ADU, now we're going to
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: use long term rental income to help you qualify, but
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: that does not mean you have to have a long
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: term tenant. You can now turn that ADU into an Airbnb,
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: play vrbo, you can make it a content studio. There's
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: so many different things you can target midterm renters, like
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: traveling nurses, like flight attendants, like depending on where city
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: you live, so if you live close to airports, you
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: live close to hospitals, right, you should be targeting homes
• 46:24
  Speaker 5: that are close to in proximity to these areas. Because
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: the midterm rental and come from corporations. Right, you have
• 46:32
  Speaker 5: people who travel for corporations. They may need somewhere to
• 46:35
  Speaker 5: stay for six weeks because they're doing a corporate project
• 46:38
  Speaker 5: and a certain city. Think about what's happening. And guys,
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna tell you another hack. And I've talked about
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: this on my program, and I know you guys talked
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: about Look at all the AI data centers that's being
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: invested and built all around the country. Right, you got Texas.
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: I think there was two or three half a billion
• 46:54
  Speaker 5: dollar projects that was launched this year. Think about it.
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: These people or not the people who are constructing this,
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: they're not going to be long term residents of Texas, right,
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: They're probably coming in from all different parts of walker life.
• 47:10
  Speaker 5: So what do they need rentals? They might only be
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: out there to do a job that's going to take
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: six months, So what do they need a mid term rental?
• 47:18
  Speaker 5: They don't want to sign a year least or a
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: two year least. They may need only a six monthly
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: eight month least, and it's going to be cheaper than
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: the corporations putting them into a hotel because that daily
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: rate of a hotel, that shit going to add up,
• 47:31
  Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So you got to really
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: take the current events and everything that's happening. I know
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: you guys talk about it at scale on Market Mondays.
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: That's why you need to tap in every Monday eight
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: pm Eastern Standard time to see what is moving and
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: shaken because all of these moves that's happening in AI,
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: those are also real estate plays too, if you're paying attention.
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: And to make this like the best process, I think
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: it's important to talk about the due diligence that needs
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: to be done. You talked about looking at the school districts,
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: and you talked about looking at the short term rentals
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: in the area. What are some of the things to
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: make this the best process is possible. What things should
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: they be looking for to make sure that they don't
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: get the worst contractors, They're making sure that the area appreciates.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: What is the due diligence that's needed if I'm going.
• 48:17
  Speaker 5: To house had So if you're doing a house hack,
• 48:20
  Speaker 5: I think you got to really pay attention to your
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: numbers first and foremost. I think a lot of folks
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: out there have these fictitious numbers of what long term
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: rental income is actually going to be. Short term rental market,
• 48:32
  Speaker 5: You've got to be very conservative with your numbers because
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: there are times where people will go into these deals
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: thinking they're going to get two thousand dollars a month
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: on rent on something and it's actually like sixteen seventeen hundred, Right,
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: So that's number one. Do your numbers really analyze that
• 48:49
  Speaker 5: real estate deal and also include all your expenses that
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: come with owning and managing and operating these deals. Right, So,
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: if you're doing Airbnb, you got to look at what
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: are the average cleaning expenses. You got to start really
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: building out that team and doing your due diligence so
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: that way you can really calculate what is my cash flow,
• 49:06
  Speaker 5: my net profit, my net revenue. Now, when it comes
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: to contractors, you have to really get a lot of
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: referrals for contractors. Right, contractors can make a big break
• 49:16
  Speaker 5: your project. You should really be getting three or four
• 49:19
  Speaker 5: different quotes when you're doing certain bids, because especially with
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: the word tariffs in twenty twenty five, right, I think
• 49:26
  Speaker 5: people are charging taris before taris even effect right, Like
• 49:30
  Speaker 5: it's just absolutely insane. The price had I think the
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: price is higher now than it was during COVID, Like,
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: I don't know what the hell is going on with
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: some of these quotes that people will give you on
• 49:42
  Speaker 5: certain projects. But you really have to shop contractors right
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: now because some people are just adding tax on type
• 49:48
  Speaker 5: of tax on type of tax just because they think
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: Trump is going to add the tax or they're adding
• 49:52
  Speaker 5: it right now before it's even in play. So get
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: three or four quotes and do not be afraid to negotiate.
• 50:00
  Speaker 5: You have to negotiate everything, and you have to use
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: tools like AI, Like I know one thing that I
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: do when I get a quote, now I upload that
• 50:09
  Speaker 5: quote into my chat EVT.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've done I did that before I did that
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: the water water uh bacent thing and I detailed the
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: whole thing, and I said, I gave it the chair.
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: I'm like, how do you feeling that? It gave me
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: an estimate of what it should it should be on
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: the low end, on on average, and on high.
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: It tells you everything and if in the more details
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: you put into it, the better. If you even if
• 50:35
  Speaker 5: you put pictures like what I've done, I'll put pictures
• 50:39
  Speaker 5: of like what I'm looking to do and really break
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: it down, and then it will give you, like Rashad said, low, high, middle,
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: and then also asks hope, okay, who are the companies
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: in this area that I should be talking to? And
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: they will give you, give me the top ten companies
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: right that got the best reviews, you know, et cetera,
• 50:59
  Speaker 5: et cetera, and then it'll give you all these companies, right.
• 51:02
  Speaker 5: So you have to use the AI and the technology
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: that's out here available to help you do your due diligence,
• 51:07
  Speaker 5: to help you research, because let's face it, we don't
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: know everything, Like I don't know everything about destruction. So
• 51:12
  Speaker 5: I got to use the tools that's in front of
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: me to get the information. So now when I'm when
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: I'm interviewing these contractors, I can have an intelligent conversation
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: because I already have my questions already pre written, so
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: to speak with that information. So the due diligence process,
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: especially in twenty twenty five point into twenty twenty six,
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: with all this volatility in the market, you have to
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: you have to really dig deep. And that's why I'm
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: really excited to hear you talk about China because I've
• 51:40
  Speaker 5: been speaking to the China people. Rashad and I had
• 51:43
  Speaker 5: a call last night, matter of fact, with Blair, and
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: the prices are just absolutely phenomenal. Some of the shit
• 51:50
  Speaker 5: that they are telling me right now, I have to
• 51:52
  Speaker 5: say a deposit asap, like let's go right now because
• 51:57
  Speaker 5: this is incredible. So but that's late on a show.
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: But I had to do that in there. But you
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: have to do your due dealer jends, and you might
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: have to do with Shad than to fly out the
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: country to go check out thanks for yourself to get
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: better pricing.
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: Or maybe you could just watch what he's done.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: He did it for you.
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: My notifications are on I don't know about y'all, like
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: the community service that is wrong, Like this is like,
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: first of all, kudos to you with that, because when
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: you told us about this, like what was this like
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: in the April, we had that call, you say, yo,
• 52:31
  Speaker 5: I'm going to China for this, that and the third
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: and I was like, all right, this is gonna sound good.
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: Time the tie he's gonna document it, shout y'all, shot
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: the time.
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: He did a great job. Well you know the thing
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: about it too, because you brought it up. I think people, Okay,
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: there's two people that can benefit from this China play
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: people that are building a home, furnishing a home. But
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: then also real estate developers. If you if you're in there,
• 52:59
  Speaker 3: if you are real estate developer. One of our friends
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: that's actually developing real estate, he's going out there today.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: I think if you're a real estate developer, I think
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: you really need to tie in with this because depending
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: on what type of development you're doing, you can get
• 53:15
  Speaker 3: mass items for cheaper like and that's important because you
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: got to figure if you're developing let's say a subunit
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: and you're building you know, six homes, right, and you
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: got to put in six kitchens into those homes. So
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: you might want to just do the basic kitchen like
• 53:34
  Speaker 3: you know from home depot. But depending on what neighborhood
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: you're building a home, and that might not necessarily fly
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: or that might lower the value of the home. Right,
• 53:43
  Speaker 3: you might have to go a little bit higher in
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: you on your kitchen. But if you go you know,
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: like the kitchen is probably going to be one of
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: the most expensive items in the house, kitchen in the bathroom. Right,
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: so you saved let's say you save thirty forty fifty
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: is that times five, You're going to have a substantial savings.
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: What does that do? That adds more profit to you?
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: The more money you say, because you can still charge
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: the same amount of money for the house. Right, It's
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: like you haven't compromised the quality of the home. So
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: if you if you're like, I probably saved three hundred
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars, right, but I'm a home I'm just a
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: home owner. If I'm a home developer, now times that
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: times six seven, But then I'm still selling at market rate.
• 54:30
  Speaker 3: So now you just made yourself two million dollars by
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: executing smartly. Right, So, and it's maybe it's something that
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: we can talk about and invest fast. Let us know
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: in chat, let us know and chat if you're interested
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: in it, and having a panel about the whole China
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: player in its entirety, and invest fast. Because I've been
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: getting a lot of dms and a lot of people
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: you know, been following the journey, so you know, maybe
• 54:59
  Speaker 3: that's something that we can really add to the investments
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: portfolio per se. But I do think that you can
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: death and you don't have to go out there like
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: even you like you know what I'm saying, Like you
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: you're talking to like that's the good thing, but you
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: got to know you gotta work with somebody already there
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: because they're not all the same. That's important people to know,
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Like you just can't show up in China and just
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: be like I'm here. You can you technically can, cause
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: it's like, you know, the area of Foolstrong that's manufacturing
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: heaven and they do everything from clothes to hair bundles,
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: press on nails, anything that you think of than manufacture.
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: So you can go electronics, you can go and just
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: stumble and you can get still probably a better price
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: than you're paying America. But if you really really want
• 55:54
  Speaker 3: to get like because each like, for instance, my kitchen
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: and closet, I want to restore that specializes in just
• 56:03
  Speaker 3: kitchens and closets, right, And the prices was so good.
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: I asked them if they could do everything, but they're like,
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: we really can't because we only specialize in kitchens and closets.
• 56:12
  Speaker 3: So I went to like six different stores to put
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: it all together. But it's worth it. But you got
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: to have somebody to kind of walk you through that process, right,
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: Like you can't just do that on your own because
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: you it's kind of hard logistically to go to six
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: different places.
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: I think even from the standpoint and you kind of
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: mentioned it in the video, but you start to think
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: when you're building commercial spaces or you're building hotels, like
• 56:41
  Speaker 4: they've been doing it all the time, and the difference
• 56:44
  Speaker 4: is that they get to charge you every night. Yeah,
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: so the long term pay obviously, if you're building a subdivision,
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: those are those are homes. But at the hotel, play
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: like that's a nightly income that's coming in, especially if
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: you've gotten the things manufactured in bolt, whether it's the
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: night stand or it's.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: The headboard for the beds.
• 57:03
  Speaker 4: Every room pretty much is the same unless you, you know,
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: get a specialized suite. These things come in bulk, and
• 57:08
  Speaker 4: now you're looking at it like, wait, they've made savings
• 57:10
  Speaker 4: on the actual building of the hotel or wherever the
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: commercial space is, and now they're charging you every night.
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: So the long term income comes back from it as well.
• 57:18
  Speaker 3: And the chandeliers, Like I met the people that make
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: chandeliers for all of the like a lot of the
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: top hotels in America and abroad, and they were showing
• 57:29
  Speaker 3: me these massive chandeliers that they're making, and top American
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: brands by their chandeliers, right, So it's just like, damn,
• 57:38
  Speaker 3: who thought about whoever thinks about Shandela's Now every hotel
• 57:43
  Speaker 3: that I walk into, I'm looking at the chandeliers because
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: it's in my brain. Right. But that's a real business,
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: like damn, like manufacturing then shipping, and you know who's
• 57:53
  Speaker 3: out there, and you could appreciate this is on the
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: real estate side. It's unfortunate because there's only a few
• 58:00
  Speaker 3: Black Americans that's really on this way right now. Like
• 58:02
  Speaker 3: shout out to Blair, she's from Detroit, she lives out there.
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: But the African Brothers is out there. Heavy yeah, heavy,
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: like I went to a place that had two hundred
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: thousand Africans, and it did as a fact, and because
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: they already because they're on it all over from all
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: over Africa, and they're buying and then sending it back
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: to Africa for new constructions, new builds, and.
• 58:26
  Speaker 4: We saw a lot of we saw while we were
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: in Africa a bunch of new builds.
• 58:30
  Speaker 3: So it's non stopped, it's a house. It's housing shortages
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: all over Africa. So the real estate marketing on the
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: continent is going crazy because they have to. They have
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: a young population, it's only getting younger. They don't have
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: enough housing. So all over you see government housing, you
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: see private subsidy, you see everything like it's all kinds
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: of development. High rises, small, mini homes, they got container homes,
• 58:53
  Speaker 3: any type of real estate that you could think.
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: Of, luxury homes, luxury hotels.
• 58:57
  Speaker 3: They're building. They're building a lot of real estate. So
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: China's playing a major part in supplying a lot of
• 59:03
  Speaker 3: these real estate developments. Were pretty much everything from tiles
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: to lights to you know, sofa's, kitchen, sinks, you name it.
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: Oh man, you got that's that real estate brain. You
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: start walking in spaces you're looking at the towels, you
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: look at the looking at everything, You're looking at the wallpaper.
• 59:19
  Speaker 5: So let me ask you shot it right? So you say,
• 59:22
  Speaker 5: you say three hundred thousand estimated with this trip to China.
• 59:27
  Speaker 5: And I saw somebody in the comments home on your
• 59:30
  Speaker 5: last post talking about a tripped and used to my
• 59:32
  Speaker 5: cut out the middle man, and it was like, well,
• 59:34
  Speaker 5: trip to China gonna cost you five thousand dollars plus
• 59:36
  Speaker 5: eighteen hours, right, Like I think people got to stop
• 59:41
  Speaker 5: having a small mind like that, Like eighteen hours you
• 59:45
  Speaker 5: could sleep that, right, but you just you brought your
• 59:48
  Speaker 5: whole house. It sounds like in China in six days.
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: And you know what too, for me, everybody's situation is different.
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: For me, I even if I didn't save any money,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: the experience alone would have been worth it, cause it's
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: like I really value traveling and China is a place
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: that I always just kind of you know, I didn't
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 3: really you know, it's like one of these things, right,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: like you just see China from Afar. But even to
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: get there is a process, like you gotta get a visa, right,
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: that alone's gonna knock out seventy people seventy percent of
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 3: people because you actually gotta go to the Chinese consule. Wait,
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: get the visa, come back a week later. It's a
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: process to actually get the visa. So I'm like, yeah,
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: I want to go to China, man, like you know
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 3: what I mean, Like I just I just thought that
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: was interesting just to actually see things for myself, especially
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 3: now during terrorists and all that stuff. So to that, brother,
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: I would say, just sometimes you're missing opportunities because you're
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: looking at things the wrong way, right, Like you don't
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 3: know what you're going who you're gonna meet, what kind
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: of relationships, what's gonna information you're gonna get, this, gonna
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 3: open your mind, like we know what's gonna happen if
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 3: you stay home. You've been doing that your whole life.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 3: Take risks sometimes I life, you just got to take
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 3: a risk, like you know what I mean. So it
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: worked out because, like you said, I did save a
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 3: lot of money, but the exposure part for me was
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 3: just different. And then even like you know, I'm in China,
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: like my niece that she want to do press on
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: nail business, so I got to actually have the plug
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: press on nails. It's a real thing in China. So
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: you know. I just think that as a community, Like
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: I said, there's two hundred thousand. I'm gonna keep saying
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: that because it's like we need to we Black Americans
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: need to start thinking like differently, Like we still caught
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 3: on this domestic stay scarcity mindset. What if it goes wrong,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna lose three thousand dollars. Like, bro, they already did,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: they figured it out already. Like what I'm saying like don't.
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 3: You can't. That's why you got to go to invest Fest.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: You can't think with a small mind and think you're
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 3: gonna make it big in life. It's not gonna happen.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 4: I think that it's the mindset piece where it's like
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: even if like I wasn't there, but I get to
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: learn from it. I think like understanding that part, right,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 4: there's always a lesson that you can learn from somebody
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: else's experience, right, Like I didn't my house is built, right,
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: So I'm like, all right, well what can I learn?
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: What can I watch?
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: I'm watching the moves all right, not just in the
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: home space, but they're going live. They're showing like yo,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: this is what it looks like from a fashion standpoint.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 4: This is you know this leather goods. Right, we've all
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 4: been victim of pursas in those things. This is what
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: it looks like. Here's what manufacturing looks like. There's so
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: much you can learn. Like I said, I'm watching the
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: hotel space, I know what that's like. I'm like, I'm
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: looking at the towers everywhere. Now there's always a piece
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 4: that I thought you actually hind the probably the most
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 4: mature way, like Yo, I didn't. It may not work
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: for you, bro. I'm just telling you that this is
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: how it went for me. And if you can learn
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: something from it, great. If you don't, you'll want power
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: to you, bro. But this is what we're on.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 5: People know the price of everything, but the value of nothing.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: Everybody tell you how to do it. They never did.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 3: It, but on some gym standpoint. Because I do want
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 3: to kitchen. If you're looking about a kitchen, at the
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: very least, I would look at China, because I think
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: you're going to save a lot of them. Like the
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 3: price that they quoted me for the kitchen.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 3: I had to ask again. I had to act twice because,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: for instance, one of my friends is building a home
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: in Atlanta. He had to slab. Like you know, if
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: you have an island in your kitchen, you have a
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: slab that goes on top of the island, right, and
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: it could be marble, it could be course, it could
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: be different material, right, and they put designs on it.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: It looks like you know, it looks like the swiggly
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: marble lines like you know, those things can become pricey.
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: So the price that he paid for the top layer
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 3: that goes on top of the island, not the island
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: at the top of the island, is the price that
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: they charged me for the entire kitchen.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 5: M hm.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: So I would definitely suggest I think that kitchens for sure,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: and I think you can save a lot of money
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: on bathrooms and then a lot of other stuff too.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 3: But you know, it just depends. Like some people might
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: just want a regular couch. They might not want, you know,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: a luxury cound, or they might just want they might
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 3: just want to paint their walls. They might not want,
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 3: like you know, you get different fabrics. It's like, you know,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: once you start going through this rabbit hole on TikTok,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 3: your algorithm becomes nonstops for real estate stuff. So I've
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: been seeing stuff like the custom made desk, can swivel chairs,
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: and you know, you just those aren't necessary, but they're
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: nice to have. But the kitchen aspect, that was pretty
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: eye opening for me. And I'm like, okay, I get
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: it now, I understand why people is coming out here.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, when you told me the price of your kitchen
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 5: and the master closet, I was sold right then and there.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 5: Because a closet, you know, if you you know, this
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 5: is not a small room, you know, and you doing
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 5: custom cabinry in your closet, you know that shit adds
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 5: out quick in a hurry. And when you told me
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: the price for both, I'm like, damn, that's just a
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: that's just your closet, really, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 5: And like the kitchen, a kitchen in America, you know,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 5: if you got let's just say a standard, A big
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 5: kitchen is twenty by twenty right, a twenty by twenty
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 5: four hundred square feet, you can fit a lot. You
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 5: can do a nice ten twelve foot dollar in there.
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 5: Like it's a good space. You're going to spend one
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: hundred till one hundred and twenty five thousand, just depending
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 5: on how hog in your appliance. This is and when
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 5: you told me that price, I'm like, yo, please connect
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 5: me with hertent.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 4: Now here. This is also a piece of the education
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 4: is like when do you do it right? So like
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: you went there obviously the building process has begun, but
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: like most people, you're not just are you going there before?
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: Are you going there? During the process?
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: Are we waiting at like their benchmark when it would
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: be good to go.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: I think it thinks three to four months to actually
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: complete from start to finish, So you should have that
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 3: time frame in your head. So if you are like
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: for me, I'm at the point now where I'm about
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: to have floors, probably in the next month or two months, right,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: so it's a good time because they haven't put up
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: walls yet. I'm still like design, yeah, I'm still in
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 3: that phase. But I mean, it really just depends on
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: even if you have a home built, you might just
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: gotta you gotta wait a little bit longer, but that
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: that weight might be worth it. But you don't want
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: to get it too early because if you get it
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: too early and there's no where to deliver it, I
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: mean you you you have to pay for storage at
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 3: that So this is an important part of the aspect,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: you have to get a container. So the container coursed
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: around twelve thousand dollars. It's a big if you ever
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 3: go to the shipping yard, you no, you know the
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: shipping yards like all they're filled with containers.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 5: Is that? Did you do a forty foot or twenty
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 5: foot container for twelve?
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: I haven't gotten the container yet because they're gonna they're
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: gonna figure out how big all of the stuff needs
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: to be. But I think the forty foot is twelve.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: I'll double check that. So but once again, it's just
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: the education because when you you see stuff all the time,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 3: you never think about it. I've been seeing I've seen
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: containers in person. When I was in Baltimore, I used
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: to work as a side hustle. On the weekend. We
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: used to go to the dock because you know, Baltimore
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 3: is a major shipping port, so we used to actually
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: go to the dock and we worked at the dock
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: on the on the weekends the basketball team, and I
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: was seeing all these ships come in. But I never
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 3: nobody ever thought about it anything. But now I'm like, okay,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 3: because I'm actually now I'm in the I'm in the
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: import export game, right so now I'm actually realizing, Okay,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: this is how it actually works. So you get you
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 3: got to get a container, so you want to feel
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: that container up too, because you don't want to leave
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 3: any empty space. You're still going to pay the same
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: price whether it's half empty or whether it's all the
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: way full. So that's another reason why you should get
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: as much stuff as possible. But also this is some
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 3: other game because even my contractor has said it before.
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: My contractor was getting stuff from China. That's what really
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: opened my eyes too. He was gonna he was gonna
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: get me a closet from China. I know the place
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: where he's gonna get it from. And he's gonna get
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: my door from China. So I'm like, and then I
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: found out the exact store. But he told me, he's like, look,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: when you go to China, if you have room, let's
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 3: just go half on the container. So I say that
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: to say, if you have friends that are building a
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: home or have homes, or not even homes, whatever it is,
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 3: because I said, you can get anything from China. So
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: if you if if you four friends, right, y'all gonna
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: blow that money in the club anyway, why not just
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: you know whether you're gonna get bundles of head press
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: on nails close. You think about what you want to get, right,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: and then you get four friends and you'll put money
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: together and you buy the product, and then you put
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: together to container money and then you ship it. Now,
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 3: the tariffs tariffs is another thing that you should be
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: aware of that that goes. That's a market Monday's place,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: but that's a real estate players also, because it's important
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: to know what tow ship not a good idea to
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 3: ship would? I found out a wood is not cheap
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: there because they don't really have wood. They import wood
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: from Russia and like Africa, so the wood is not
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: too much cheaper than it is in America. It might
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: be even more expensive, but there's a special terror on
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: that tax which makes it even higher. So you don't
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: want to import any You don't want to buy any
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 3: wood in China. Even engineering would or engineer wood is good, Okay,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: engineer wood is good, but like real real wood, Okay.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we usually obviously that's gonna come up. Ken, I
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 4: just want to add a little context to what you're saying,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: because the container is important, right, that's for the storage piece.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 4: But I'll add a little bit onto it. You might
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 4: want to look into having a receiver too, right, so
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: in order for it to get from the container, right,
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: sometimes they'll bring it directly to the site. But sometimes
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 4: your house might not be ready, and so there's always
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: delays obviously. So even like in a case where it's
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 4: like I'm gonna have floors in a month, and man,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: you notice more than probably us.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, that one month turned.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 4: Into three, but that container is now here, so where
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: we put the stuff? And so sometimes having a receiver
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: somebody that now stores that for you. So actually when
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: it's done and now can bring into your house. And
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 4: you might not want everything done right, So if you
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: order furniture, you order your couch, or you order your bed,
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: right you still might be putting the floors down. They
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: still might be putting drywall and pain. You don't want
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 4: that stuff getting on your furniture or on the things
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: that you brought, or even your applients or your kitchen.
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: And so the receiver will hold that until it's time
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: and those things get brought in piece by piece. Just
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 4: another thing to do in terms of assurance, right, like
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: what happens when something is damaging that right now, the
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 4: receiver will see that, and there's insurance that goes with that,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 4: right so it can go back or hey, you know what,
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 4: this happened in the transport of the actual item, and
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: so now you have a little protection there. So like
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: the container's important, but like having those things in place too,
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: because you, like I said, delays happen all the time
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: and you can't control that.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 3: Yet. Even on the dock, they have they have holding
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 3: docks though, so even when it gets to like the
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 3: poor you pay money, but they have like lockers that
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: will actually you could you could pay like monthly. It's
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: like storage. You know, it doesn't even have to leave
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: the dock, but you do have to have transport service
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: to get from the dock to your house. You can
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: do it yourself. That is obviously a little bit more involved,
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 3: but you save some money, but most of it. Like
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 3: that's why it's also good to have a connect on
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: the ground they set up the transfer service for you
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: and the stores that you work where you want to
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 3: just make sure they have a warranty. Most of the
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: stores have warranties though, like they have like ten year
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 3: warranties and the whole instructional. They make video GUIDs for
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: people to put it together. Because, like I said, like
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: people been buying stuff from China for a long time,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: companies and stuff like that. So it's not like a
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: new thing. It's it's been happening for years. It's just
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 3: now retail consumers are getting hip to it. But an
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 3: idea of you know, shipping stuff buying, and that's why
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: they want to put tariffs on it, right, because they're
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 3: making so much money shipping into America for years or
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 3: you know, a low amount of money. So but you
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: have to pay the tariffs. That's important. So just calculate
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: that and however much you're spending. But if you if
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 3: you're buying the right price, even with the tariffs added on,
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 3: which is anywhere from thirty to fifty percent, you're still
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 3: gonna it's still going to Like the chandeliers. Chandelier is
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: another thing. Like the price that I saw for schandelier
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: was unbelievable. Like the chandelad that I sent you that
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 3: it looked.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 5: Like, yeah, yeah, it was crazy.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 3: It was fifty It's a fifty foot crystal chandelier from
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: Florida ceiling for twelve thousand dollars and you probably could
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 3: have talked it down for like eight thousand dollars, Like
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: there's no way that's going to be that price in America.
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 5: So let me ask you shatty with the quality like
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 5: especially like kitchens, right because you know, you can get
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 5: a kitchen and it can be made out of just
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 5: bullshit and still they can make it look good, but
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 5: it's still bullshit. Right, talk to us about the quality
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 5: of like the kitchens the cab and try because everything's
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 5: made to order from what I'm being told, right, when
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 5: you was inspecting these kitchens, especially from that store, you
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 5: said they the price was good, everything was good, Like
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 5: how was the quality of like their workmanship, the craftsmanship
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 5: of like these kitchens and stuff like that?
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 3: Quality is excellent. One thing about China. You can get
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 3: it as high quality as you want, or you can
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 3: get as low quality as you want. But the places
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 3: I was going to was high quality. So it was
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 3: it was good like it was. It was everything was detailed,
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: very very detailed, Like I mean, it looked like like
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 3: I said, I mean, they have very good craftsmanship. I'll
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: say that they have very good craftsmanship. And the good
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 3: thing about it is that most of these places have
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: the manufacturings actually taking place in the store. So it's
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 3: like a lot that show want to be on the
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 3: second floor, manufacturers getting made on the third floor or
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 3: first floor. So it's like, you know, a lot of
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 3: the stores in America they don't have that, like they're
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 3: getting it shipped in. So like you go to the store,
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 3: then you can well I don't know if everybody can,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 3: but for me, they let me see where they was
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: actually making it. So you could tell a lot about
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: that too, because some you could tell the quality a
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: lot of times by how the manufacturing looks. Some manufacturing
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 3: in places I went to it looked, you know, like
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 3: it had a long day. Some of them look like
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: some state of the art, like you know what I'm saying.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: So I'm like day a little older. So but that's
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 3: a good thing though, because the manufacturing happens right there,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 3: so it's like it's going from one floor to the
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: next floor, from manufacturing to the show.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 4: I think part of it is that mindset, right, and
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 4: I think you posted it as well as like when
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 4: we think China, we think cheap products, and part of
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 4: that mindset it's still there from this side of the world, right,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 4: Like when we think high quite like even like a
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 4: tzara is a discount of clothes, but there's also teamul
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 4: in a sheene, and right when people get products from
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 4: those places, it's like the quality isn't the best. Like
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 4: we can say it's going to be cheaper and you
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: can have it. And so like, what what do you
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: think needs to be done? Obviously what you've done from
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: the journalistic standpoint and actually debunking some things to showing
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 4: some things, and I'm sure there's a lot more. How
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 4: do we shift mindset? And Matt, we'll get back to
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 4: you in a little bit, but this is important stuff.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 5: And China's very important right now.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not what do I think? What do I think
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 3: needs to be changed? How do we help change the mindset?
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 3: I guess navigate that that approach to change it. It's
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 3: crazy because people that think that everything is made in China.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 3: I right to report that thirty to forty percent of
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: the world's manufacturing, every part of the world's manufacturing comes
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: from China. So it's crazy like that that term made
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 3: in China is a real time real it's a real thing.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 3: So I mean, it's it's it's crazy to think that
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: you would only equate things that's made in China with
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 3: being cheap. Because everything is made in.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: China, I would assume everything that we're using right now is.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: Exactly chiefs stuff. Chief stuff made in China, mid stuff
• 1:16:09
  Speaker 3: made it is made in China. High expensive stuff is
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: made in China. So I think I think the deeper
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 3: sense goes back to white supremacy, and it ties into
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: the idea that we talked about before that any luxury
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: item has to come from a European country. So when
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: we equate luxury, we think of Italy, we think of Paris, right,
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: we think of London. We don't think of Africa at all.
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 3: We don't, we don't. We don't think Africa at all,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 3: even though all of the stuff comes from Africa. We
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 3: don't think Asia at all. We don't. We look at
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 3: China as like even when JD. Vance called them peasants,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: that was an ignorant thing for him to say, but
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 3: that reflects the mindset. He didn't just say that for
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: any for no reason. Right, He looked at them as like, oh,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: they are a good workforce, but it's not high level quality. Right,
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 3: But like I said, I want this, I want especially
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: the place that I went to when like I went
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 3: to this place where it was all towels and fabrics
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 3: and stuff, you would think you was in soho like
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: even how they was dressing super like trendy. I mean,
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 3: it was just some fly nes like it was just
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 3: super super fly. Like concrete like you know that concrete.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: You ever go into like these luxury fashion stores and
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 3: they got concrete floors. It looks like concrete, but it's
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 3: not like concrete floors, the concrete wall. It's just crazy,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: like you know what I mean. So I think that
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: that once again, that goes back to just equating anything luxurious,
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: high level ultra luxurious to a few places on the
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 3: globe that have coined that, like Switzerland and stuff like that.
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: But when you really start to travel, you see like nah,
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, luxury can be made any with and most
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 3: of the time those luxury Like I said, the thing
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: with the Chinese is that they're very they don't take
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 3: credit for a lot of stuff. But I met, I
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 3: actually met like this, like the top luxury stores in
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 3: the world, like even their interior and the exterior. I
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 3: sent you a picture. Man, I'm can't I'm not gonna
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 3: say the name, but I'm the people that make their
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 3: exterior and interior. I met them, went to their store
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 3: and they're like, yo, you just don't put this on camera.
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 3: Top quality exactly. I'm looking at the picture like this
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 3: is fine, and these are and by the way, these
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: are these are europe These are European fashion houses. European
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 3: fashion houses. The top luxury European brands in the world
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 3: is getting their interior exterior, did the core? Not even
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: just their clothes, did the core? They're getting it the
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: core work from China. They're not. It's not getting it's
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: not coming from Italy, from Switzerland. It's coming from China.
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 5: So what was the one thing that you learned or
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 5: surprised you out there that you didn't expect, Like going
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 5: out there on this trip, like, what was that one
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 5: thing that just made you say, damn?
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 3: Just the vastness of it. That's another thing if you're
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 3: going out there, you know, they have different cities for
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 3: different things inside of home to court. So they have
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 3: a lighting city just flight like that that thing I
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 3: put on Instagram fourteen floors mall for lights. That's not
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 3: the only light, that's the lighting district. That's just the mall.
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 3: They have a whole town district just for lights, like
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: they have like they have different towns for different things.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 3: That to me was amazing because I'm like, damn, and
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 3: it's just it's unbelievable, Like it's unbelievad like and even
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 3: like they have the electronic section of like a town
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: for electronics. They have a town like a section just
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 3: for hair, They have a section just for clothes. They
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 3: got a section for handbag. I din't even get a
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 3: chance to go to the handbag section. They got a
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 3: section for handbags. Like but like I said, the homes,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 3: like it just amazed me how they had lights. I
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 3: would have never even thought. And that's most They have
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 3: multiple lighting malls, like they have light a mall just
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 3: for lights, Like they have a whole district just for
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 3: like couches and beds.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 3: Say so it's like the think about how much product
• 1:20:35
  Speaker 3: they're selling. If they have a mall full of lights,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 3: multiple mall full of lights, think about how they're they're
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 3: lighting the world literally literally it's crazy. So that got
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 3: to me, like that that one thing to me, just
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 3: that just that was amazing to me. And that's just
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 3: like I really think that not to get too far
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 3: off topic. But the one thing that was I was
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 3: encouraged was with that Africans. But there's also a little
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 3: disappointing is that on the continent they're not making anything.
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 3: They don't manufacture anything. They're they're traders, they're good traders, right,
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 3: But on the continent within US, US in America too,
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 3: we got to actually start making things. Like Donald Trump's
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 3: not wrong in what he's saying. We do have to
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 3: we do have to make things. But I think he's
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 3: wrong in the way he's going about it, but not
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 3: take America out of it. I'm talking about like US
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 3: as a community, we have to produce things.
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 2: I thought you was going to say that Kanye wasn't
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: wrong or what he was saying.
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 3: No, Kanye was. Remember I said, I said in London, Yeah,
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 3: this is crazy. I said in London when you did
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 3: the Royal Alberhol we're doing press and all that. I said,
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 3: this is when the whole thing first happened. I said,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 3: if I was Kanye, I would go to China right now,
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 3: I would live in China. Yeah, that's before I even
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 3: went to China. This just reinfirms what I was saying.
• 1:21:53
  Speaker 3: If he was really serious, about what he was talking about.
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 3: They have they have it already. He could have literally
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 3: made all of his products in China for way cheaper
• 1:22:01
  Speaker 3: distributed it. He should have just set up shop in
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: China for six months.
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 2: That's that's why I.
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 4: Thought you was going because what he chose to go
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 4: to Italy to do it and realized that we don't
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 4: own anything. We don't own manufacturing and kept prying about it, and.
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 2: That's how it kind of prompted.
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 4: And I was gonna lead with, like, yes, those are
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 4: a bunch of glows with any negative setbacks or things
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 4: that you saw, and I think you kind of just
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 4: answered it though, like not seeing us own any manufacturing
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 4: from on the continent, but being there producing and.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 3: Not owning anywhere. We don't produce anything. That's the problem.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 3: Like that's one key takeaway from this whole situation. We
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 3: don't produce enough. We gotta start producing, like that's something
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 3: we gotta produce. We gotta produce food, we gotta produce clothes.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 2: We have to.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 3: We have to produce something. It's good to buy and
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 3: it's good to trade. But the next level, the higher level,
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 3: is to actually make products and make goods. That's my
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 3: thesis on this whole situation. But if you want to
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 3: see it, if you want to see the conversation in detailed,
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 3: and if you were like my resources and my plugs
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 3: because I have to plug Blair shout out to her nephew,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 3: minetary designer. She knows a lot. I have Paulina who's
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 3: my translator and also grounds on. She's Chinese as far
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 3: as she knows all this stuff. I have a whole
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 3: team that I've actually figured this thing out. If you
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 3: would like to see that and go through the process
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 3: and know the exact stores to buy from and know
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 3: the exact plugs. If you're interested in seeing that, invest
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 3: best let us know in chat possibly w's in chats
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 3: and make some phone calls. We can see if we
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 3: can add it to this year's lineup. It's not too late.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we definitely need to add that, because
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 5: I don't think we need w's in chats. We just
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 5: need to make the calls. Get them over here on
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 5: the first thing flying eighteen hours because and I'm telling
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 5: you all this, man, because I've had conversations with Blair
• 1:24:03

• 1:25:31
  Speaker 3: eleven hundred dollars for it in China.

  Speaker 5: It's crazy. She told me the same thing. She said.

• 1:25:45
  Speaker 3: I secured the lights too. The we saw this, we
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 3: did a taping and we saw you know, the Rose
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 3: Royce lights on the on the ceiling, yeah, in the
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 3: shooting Star.
• 1:25:58

  Speaker 3: So when we asks the guy when we was table,
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 3: was like how much this costs? He's like it was
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 3: like over ten thousand dollars something like that. What for
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 3: to have the lights? Remember we were doing this shoot
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 3: and we sort of ceiling with the lights.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 2: Oh you are you're talking about in like a theater room?
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Oh in Kelly. Yeah, remember that.
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 4: That was for a project that He's like Yeah, He's like, yeah,
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 4: it's pretty.
• 1:26:23
  Speaker 3: He's like, you know, it's kind of expensive. I think
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 3: he's to like ten twenty thousand dollars like that under
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: under a thousand dollars.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 5: Wait a minute, so exactly those fantom like it's the
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 5: phantom lights in your movie there no right and they
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 5: got his stars.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, I've.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 5: Seen that in people houses and a lot from Tally too.
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 3: At anything that you think of. But I'll say this too,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 3: this is important. Know your measurements. You got to you
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 3: gotta give them the exact measurements because you don't want
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 3: to make any mistakes and double check the measurement to
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: make sure. But the measurements very important. That's the I
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 3: don't want to forget that part. If you're looking up
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 3: to do anything for your home, you know your measurements.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: Get the matter port, got to get the mataport of
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 3: your house. That's the right.
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 5: Now, what's the mataport shot?
• 1:27:18
  Speaker 3: The matterport.
• 1:27:21
  Speaker 5: Saying that the people right.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 3: When they through like a whole surveillance of your house
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 3: as far as like a three D thing, so they
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: give you the exact measurement blueprint like what it actually
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: looks like, because sometimes even a measurement on a blueprint
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 3: can be slightly off because it's blueprints written on paper,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: so it's human error that happens right, Like they might say, okay,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 3: this is ten foot, but when they do it, it
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 3: actually might it might be actually like ten and a half.
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 2: Feet or could be ten feet two inches.
• 1:27:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it might be slightly off, so you want to
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 3: double check with the tape. But then also the matter
• 1:27:58
  Speaker 3: part actually does it where they have like a like
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 3: a beam that goes around and then it catches everything
• 1:28:05
  Speaker 3: on the electric electric I don't even know how it registers,
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 3: but it gives you like a full detailed report of like, Okay,
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 3: the closet is ten feet by six feet and you
• 1:28:15
  Speaker 3: actually can see it on a.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 2: But can I add context to it? Because it's important
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 2: when you do that.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 4: And that's why I said the timing is important, right,
• 1:28:23
  Speaker 4: because what most people will do is that they'll forget that. Wait,
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 4: we haven't sheet rocked yet, so like that quarter of
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 4: an inch counts, right, I haven't my floors, Like what's
• 1:28:34
  Speaker 4: the measurement? The size of my four planks? Like that changes,
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 4: so you got it. It's like extremely detailed because you
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 4: can't you can't be off a quarter inch, especially like
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 4: you're talking about these prize most prominent places in your
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 4: house your kitchen, right, your bathroom tiles, Like a quarter
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 4: inch changes everything, right, Like that'll throw everything off if
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 4: it's your island, or it's your countertops, or if it's
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 4: even a talent on that. Like you got to be
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 4: specific with it. So like having those things site measurements
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 4: are vidally important.
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, great conversation about China, man, I'm looking forward
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 5: to to hairing this at Investments some more detail.
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 2: I'm a general contractor.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 5: By the way, I think at this point we all
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 5: are now we now were in the import and export business.
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 3: This is the last tick I'll get for China. When
• 1:29:25
  Speaker 3: you're doing your bath ron This is I didn't you
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: gotta so you gotta get a shower kit. I think
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: that's what it's called, right for when you when you're
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: putting in a shower, get a shower kit. I didn't
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 3: know what a shower they was telling me this my
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 3: contract that kept He's like, you got give me a
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 3: shower kit. You got you gotta give me the shower kit.
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 3: He wasn't explained to me what a shower kit was,
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 3: so I thought he meant I got to give him
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 3: the whole because like when you go to like a
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 3: store to buy shower that they'll show you the whole
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 3: entire thing. Right, So I'm thinking I got to get
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 3: the whole entire thing, but I'm like, I'm not ready
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 3: to get the whole entire thing yet. Then they finally
• 1:29:59
  Speaker 3: explained it to me with the plumber and and I'm okay,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: now I get it. The shower kip is the actual
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 3: shower head, the thing that the tiles, that the thing
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 3: that you turn, and then the actual pipe, right, but
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 3: I didn't know that. But this is this is out.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 3: So I got all of those right from America. I
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 3: didn't get that from China. Got that from America so
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 3: they could continue construction because they couldn't. They couldn't put
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: the walls up until they actually had that. But you
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 3: get the tiles from China, you get all of it,
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 3: and then you you haven't made in so you you
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 3: designed the bathroom.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 2: Huh remember the well? Got that that could save your money.
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 3: The toiles, the toiles depending on what type of toiles
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 3: or what type of things. But whatever you're going to
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 3: get on the outside, right, whether it's marble, whether it's
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 3: top whatever, you get that from China, because you're gonna
• 1:30:54
  Speaker 3: get that from substantially less. And then it's just a
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 3: cover at that point, Like you cover the floor, you
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 3: cover the bathtub, like you cover the bathtub, like you
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 3: cut it right, and your bathroom looks like you actually
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 3: brought that bathroom in its entirety. But the only thing
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 3: that you really purchased was the material which was made
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 3: on the outframe. The piping you got from America. That's important,
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 3: but everything else so that so it's like you you
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 3: you put it, you put it together. That's how you
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 3: save a lot of money on the bathroom. Because the
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 3: bathroom quote that I got quoted on we went to
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: the first place in America, and the quote that I
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 3: got quoted for, quote, my my bathroom, one bathroom, one
• 1:31:41
  Speaker 3: bathroom was sixty percent of what I paid for the
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 3: whole entire house in China.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 5: Man, don't let that go off of your had your
• 1:31:58
  Speaker 5: bathroom was six percent of the cost of everything you
• 1:32:02
  Speaker 5: got in China. Yes, God, bless God, bless China and
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 5: everything in it.
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 3: Like you gotta think about all of this stuff. The
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 3: vanity that like you know, nobody.
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 5: Think when you told me you're pricing on those vanities.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 5: I think you said, well, you got like five six
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 5: vanities or something for like a couple of dollars. I'm like,
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 5: and look, And for those of you who don't know
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 5: O Rashad, you could just go to his drip reports
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 5: and understand. My man likes the finest of fabrics, so
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 5: you can understand when he's talking about these things. It's
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 5: always it's going to be the finest of material and
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 5: fabrics and everything like it. So when he tells me
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 5: these prices, I'm like, I know, my boy ain't out
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 5: here talking about the bottom of the barrel type shit.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 5: It's just the highest of the highest, you know what
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. So yeah, China, and that's fast. Let's grow.

• 1:33:17
  Speaker 5: need to set up everything there because the way this
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 5: is sounding, bro, we.
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: Might need to do we might need to do multiple
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 3: china panels. We might need to do one on the
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: house side, then one on clothing side, and then one
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 3: on one on beauty side. Because I didn't even talk
• 1:33:33
  Speaker 3: about the beauty aspect, like you know, makeup and all
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 3: that stuff. You get that for dirty too. So all
• 1:33:40

• 1:33:43
  Speaker 3: lot of money selling all these like.
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 5: You know, yes, this is the home of this is
• 1:33:48
  Speaker 5: this is the super Bowl for hustlers, man. So I
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 5: honestly think we should have probably like I have a
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 5: two to three hour type of like workshops, seminars something
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 5: like that just dedicated to like what we're talking about
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 5: right here, because this can help everybody who's in business,
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 5: whether it's real estate, business, beauty, everything that you're naming,
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 5: like help us all save money and make and make
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 5: more money and more profit. And that's the spirit of
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 5: Investments is to make more money and who else better
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 5: to bring it to America than us? Like we need
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 5: that at Investments.
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think there's a multiple place too, And we
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 4: just kind of spoke about it. I'm like, yeah, from
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 4: the China standpoint is important, but like like you just
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 4: brought up from an African standpoint is equally as important.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 4: Right when we're talking about I guess we travel the continent,
• 1:34:36
  Speaker 4: how do we invest in infrastructure so that manufacturer can happen?
• 1:34:40
  Speaker 2: Right? We know what it's going to cost to do
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: it here, but how do we.
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 4: Make sure that we get the knowledge and we have
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 4: the people who have the knowledge and who are already
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 4: building out there from a real estate standpoint, but how
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 4: do we build industry right? Like that's important too, So
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 4: like now it's not just a Chinese it's an international
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 4: investment standpoint, and we got the space to do it.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 2: Man, I think we should. We should definitely implement it.
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 3: Stay tuned.
• 1:35:03

  Speaker 5: Yeah, very enlightened conversation fellas this was. I know we
• 1:35:30
  Speaker 5: went completely off topic, but it was on topic.
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 2: So I think it was all real estate.
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's timely. Like I said, a lot of
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 3: people have questions. I got a chance to speak about
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 3: it on market money is a little bit, but I
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 3: didn't get a chance to really go in depth and
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 3: kind of break down, you know, like with I think
• 1:35:46
  Speaker 3: you can save the most money and best practices and
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. So I think that it was a
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 3: timely conversation and I'm glad that we had it and
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 3: hopefully you know, you know, it just opens people's minds.
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 3: And like I said, we definitely gonna go to some
• 1:35:58
  Speaker 3: more details, sure, but the first level you got to
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 3: have just you know, got to open your mind in stages.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 3: It's an eighteen hour flight, so we got to make sure,
• 1:36:06
  Speaker 3: you know, you gotta about this.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can tell you change my whole perspective on
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 5: this because I've been looking at everything do my finishes
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 5: right now and from kitchens to bathrooms. I mean that
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 5: was like two hundred k just right there, just to
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 5: do kitchens and bathrooms in here. And just me this
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 5: week speaking to the plug just from what she's telling me,
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 5: I might save myself like one hundred and sixty thousand
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 5: dollars just on that right there alone. So it's exciting.
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 2: So who's house parties? First?
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 5: Yes, we already we see you watching movies. That's still
• 1:36:54

  Speaker 2: all of it. Yeah, I gotta test these things out, man.
• 1:37:07
  Speaker 5: No, it's going to be a good one.
• 1:37:11
  Speaker 4: I think the beauty of it is that, I mean
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 4: it just kind of fits with everything we've ever done. Right,
• 1:37:16
  Speaker 4: Like people get to watch this happen in real time,
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 4: and they get to learn from it in a real time,
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 4: and they get to watch us make mistakes in real
• 1:37:23
  Speaker 4: time and learn from those. And so it's a unique
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 4: time in history, Like this is never These things have
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 4: never been done, Like where does this happen?
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 2: You just hear about it, and.
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 4: People can kind of like gustimize their thoughts and like
• 1:37:35

  Speaker 5: Really important.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 4: At night in their beds, all tucked in tight man.
• 1:40:24
  Speaker 3: All right, guys, I think this was the educational conversation
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 3: that we had tapping. Did you take us to invest.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 2: Fast hold on this?
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 4: This is the last thing because it made me think
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 4: about it when I was watching Centers and we went
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 4: to go see Centers at the same time, and there
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 4: was a point where we watched if you've seen the movie, right,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 4: you had an aging couple inside the black community, right,
• 1:40:45
  Speaker 4: So even when you went to see the African population
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 4: that is in the country, was it infused inside or
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 4: was it a specific like how we have Chinatown everywhere?
• 1:40:59
  Speaker 2: Was it a specific city in that sense?
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 4: I know it's off top, but I forgot to ask
• 1:41:03
  Speaker 4: you that someone asking in front of everybody, and.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 2: How did that? How did how do was it placed?
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 3: Well, hey, it's all vibes they played me. Are they
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 3: have Chinese R and B music that they played me?
• 1:41:11
  Speaker 3: They love the culture. I didn't feel out of place
• 1:41:14
  Speaker 3: at all. Very welcome the Africans. It's actually interesting because
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 3: where the Africans live, so people don't know what there's
• 1:41:22
  Speaker 3: a lot of Africans that live in China, but they
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 3: also don't know and I didn't even know. The extent
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 3: of this is that there's a lot of Chinese Muslims.
• 1:41:29
  Speaker 3: So the Africans live in the area with Chinese Muslims.
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 3: I had no idea that there was that many Chinese Muslims.
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 3: It's a lot, like a lot.
• 1:41:38
  Speaker 5: I never even heard of a Chinese Muslim, Like.
• 1:41:44
  Speaker 3: What, yeah, So it's like it's a lot. We got
• 1:41:48
  Speaker 3: these jabs on, they got the kofies on and they
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 3: Chinese fully Chinese speaking Mandarin and all that, and like
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 3: they live in the same area with the Africans. It's interesting,
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 3: it's eclectic. But yeah, every showroom that I went to
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 3: has had black art in it, like African art. They
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 3: have a lot of black art, African art.
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but there wasn't no integration in a sense where
• 1:42:13
  Speaker 4: like they have a China town in Soho, right, there
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 4: wasn't like, hey, obviously we know hip hop culture and
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 4: we've seen that has I mean, it's the greatest export.
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 2: You can see that the influence. It was just kind
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 2: of a natural integration like what people was just like
• 1:42:27
  Speaker 2: businesses just happening.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 3: One thing I learned about Chinese culture. They really value money.
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 3: They don't trip about nothing else, Like how we they're
• 1:42:36
  Speaker 3: not really tripping. Like even tie was like yo, I
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 3: don't I don't even feel black because it's not that
• 1:42:41
  Speaker 3: it don't matter. Didn't matter. It's like, yo, we're gonna
• 1:42:45
  Speaker 3: do business. We got proper. It wasn't no even like
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 3: I said, like the Africans, they I see them. I
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 3: was just observing they you know, they talking to the
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 3: Chinese people. A lot of them speak Chinese too. That's
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 3: another thing. A lot of the Africans learned Chinese, or
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 3: they call it Chinese. So I asked her. I'm like, yo,
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 3: you speak Mandarin. She was She didn't even even know
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 3: what I was saying, but I said Mandarin. Shed like
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 3: we call it Chines, don't. They don't say Mandarin. We
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 3: say Mandarin, they say Chinese. So but no, it's just
• 1:43:15
  Speaker 3: it's not it's not second. I mean, the Africans have
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 3: their own part of town, but it's not segregated like that,
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 3: like you know, it's just it's vibes like it's no
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 3: like I didn't. I didn't get no problem for being black.
• 1:43:27
  Speaker 3: That's what I'm trying to say. Like I didn't feel
• 1:43:29
  Speaker 3: no way about it at all.
• 1:43:30
  Speaker 2: There was no That's so here's the interesting part.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 4: Because I know you known you long enough, right, I
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 4: remember when you were in Hong Kong.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 2: Obviously different. That was the complete.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 3: Opposite even that, so that I got insight. I got
• 1:43:44
  Speaker 3: insight on that because what they told me, and everybody
• 1:43:46
  Speaker 3: is different obviously, but they it was because I didn't
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 3: even bring my Hong Kong experience up. I had a
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 3: bad experience, right, That's what they told me. They say,
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 3: your Hong Kong people are rude mm hmm. They like
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 3: they have bad attitudes, like they Chinese. China has an
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 3: interest in relationship with Hong Kong. It's similar to Taiwan, Macau.
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 3: Taiwan and Hong Kong are all islands off the coast
• 1:44:10
  Speaker 3: of China, and they all have their own flag, but
• 1:44:13
  Speaker 3: they're all like Chinese territories in a sense. So Hong
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 3: Kong was colonized by the British. China's very China takes
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 3: pride that they've had that China's had a civilization for
• 1:44:27
  Speaker 3: five thousand years and they've never been They've never been
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 3: colonized or conquered. They take great pride in that Taiwan
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 3: has been taken by Britain and America. Hong Kong was
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 3: a colony of Britain. Mikale. I'm not really sure about
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 3: the Mikaw situation. So they all have their own type
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 3: of different personality. But how China, how mainland, how the
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 3: mainland China looks at them is they have a unique
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 3: way of looking at them. So they actually brought that up.
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 3: They're like yo, people from Hong Kong super rude. So
• 1:45:02
  Speaker 3: when they said that, I'm like, okay, it makes sense
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 3: because I had a bad experience.
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 4: Because hearing you say that and this is just like
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 4: if you've watched us long enough, you know that. Like
• 1:45:12
  Speaker 4: hearing you say that, I remember, the exact opposite is
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 4: how you feel in Hong Kong.
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so.
• 1:45:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess Hong Kong is a different experience.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 4: But I mean what people from that does shouldn't feel
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 4: feign like well, people will say that about people from
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 4: New York.
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 2: No, for sure, you know what I'm saying. I mean,
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 2: we get you'll get that.
• 1:45:29
  Speaker 3: It's understandable. Yeah, it makes sense, it's understandable. But I
• 1:45:33
  Speaker 3: didn't feel any racism at all. I'll say that I
• 1:45:36
  Speaker 3: felt no racism, not to say that there's no racism
• 1:45:38
  Speaker 3: in the country. I mean, it's a billion people. Of course
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 3: it's going to be something. But I can only speak
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 3: for my own personal experience. And like I said, this
• 1:45:45
  Speaker 3: is what Tie our camera guys said, everybody felt the
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 3: same way. We didn't feel I didn't feel uncomfortable. I
• 1:45:52
  Speaker 3: didn't see one police the whole time I was there.
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 5: You felt safe.
• 1:45:56
  Speaker 3: That was super safe, no trash on the streets, super clean.
• 1:46:01
  Speaker 3: It's no problem. Like, there's no problem. I never felt
• 1:46:04
