Check it out below: Rod Kheif (00:00:00) - It's how do you get anything if you don't know what it is? You've got to create a burning desire or hunger. You've got to want it. That's how you push through fear. That's how you push through limiting beliefs or that's how you get uncomfortable. You know that comfort zone is a nice, warm place, but nothing grows there. And so you've got to push through fear and all that by knowing what it is you want and why you want it. Sam Wilson (00:00:20) - Welcome to the how to Scale Commercial Real Estate show.

And I said, forget college. I'm going to do real estate. And and fast forward to today. I've owned over 2000 houses. I've rented long term 200 of them in your backyard in Memphis. We won't talk about that. And then the rest are in Florida and Denver. But, you know, I now own thousands of apartment units.
