was a mistake for me it's got five years in college I was in my second year college I was completely lost I had lost my way I had lost my purpose I had lost any sense of myself I was trying to get other people to light me lost lost lost the idea that my dreams could become true I don't think I knew what my dreams were anymore I'd had a couple of really big losses in my life I lost my dad when I was 10 and then lost my older brother when I was 20 years old he was 25 and he was he was both of these guys were my role models and yeah 20 years old I was I was in college but when committed to college was born money to go to college I was using drugs and alcohol almost daily probably daily for sure daily skipping class is no commitment fired from five or six jobs while I was going to college just making all the wrong decisions didn't know where I was going didn't have anybody to talk to didn't have any mentors didn't have a channel like this where I could go find somebody that would share their their experiences didn't even know to ask the question hey what would you do I didn't have anybody to ask hey look go if you could go back 20 or 30 years what would you ask for 20 years so 20 or 20 years old so what would you tell what would you do different right so let me tell you what I would do different okay first of all you got to avoid the things that are not good for you you're never going to come we've been here we've been on vacation two weeks now it was in Utah skiing with the kids we go Utah deer valley every year ski and and then we came here just like we didn't have this trip planned so let's go down the cobbo we were cold one day it was three degrees next day it was 73 degrees so we came down here why am I telling you that when I was 25 years old I turned my life around like I've got to get this thing in order almost died multiple times between 20 and 25 finally at 25 years old I'm like okay I got to turn this thing around for real man and first thing I would tell you 20 year old grant to drugs alcohol I don't care what drug you think you're doing that's okay grant I'm just giving this advice to myself leave all the drugs and the alcohol alone they're waste of time energy contrary to what people say they're not making more creative they basically waste time any creativity you have you can find without the assistance of any drugs any alcohol two number two you've got to change your friends well if your friends you need to make these people your friends people that have time to get away people that are working people that are creating surround yourself with people that are doing things that are seeking to be better I was I was hanging around people that were destroying themselves that were that people that were criticizing others that were successful that were wasting time beautiful rock they weren't looking for anything except how everybody else was wrong how they had been wrong I know because I was doing this spent all my time talking about how the rich guy there was had his kids in tennis classes in golf classes and they had a boat and they went skiing how he was such a prick and when reality sorry guys didn't mean you to hear that when in reality she didn't hear that when in reality I should have been looking at what did this guy do to create a situation where he could pay for his kids to learn tennis if they want to golf and ski I was asking her on questions I would tell my 20 year-old self change the questions you're asking change the way you look at things quit being so resentful hateful you know quit quit get get your game together dude like it doesn't matter that you lost your dad and you lost your brother and that you heard and you're angry get over it man and have something to look forward to you know the thing that's always interesting my whole life and it's probably something for you love to know what it is in comments below is there something that your whole life you're like dude I've always wanted to do that real estate has always been one of those things for me okay so the one other thing that I would tell my 20 year-old self the count seven businesses and I would not tell you I would not tell the 20 year-old ramp to go get six six businesses I would tell him to learn everything you can about real estate everything real estate is the business it's allowed me to go on these magnificent trips that I'm taking my family on I've been in business for myself for 30 years okay six businesses do not six businesses combined you're not allowing me to go on these trips it is the real estate by and of itself that's allowed me to take my wife and kids employees partners friends on these magnificent trips so I would tell the 20 year-old ramp hey learn everything you can about a particular specific type of real estate not all real estate a specific real estate there's a very very specific real estate that for hundreds of years it's allowed every day people every day common people to create lifestyles that were mind-boggled yesterday we were on a yacht okay I'm looking at whales I've been gone for I don't know 12 days now I'm a plane sitting over here I'm saying look is airport I was flying out this morning check this out I was flying out this morning because I had this this legal issue that I had to attend to this business matter and it was in Miami I'm in Cabo remember I'm in Cabo called up my pilots and I said hey get ready I got a flat in Miami tomorrow we're gonna fly to Miami and back in one day so I can handle this issue there is no business that I have that has enough finances to fuel a plane up first of all to my plane second to fuel a plane I fly all the way over there by myself and back in the same day so the real estate did you want to be invested in 20 year old grant you guys are listening to me learn everything you can about income producing real estate okay 32 units at above I write about this about book how to create wealth investing in real estate I wrote this book because I know so many of you out there don't have the data don't or not getting the right information because Wall Street is telling you to save your money Wall Street in the banks they're telling you to save your money put your money in a retirement account for a one-care a set program or IRA folks these these things are scams okay they're telling you they're telling you to buy house you know buy house spend 20 or 30 years there hey Sabrina spend 20 or 30 years there it's a way to save money it is a scam listen to what I'm telling bagging you to figure this real estate thing out mr. 20 year old grant card owned okay the only kind of real estate you want to invest in today is income producing real estate 32 units and above the provides it at least $24,000 a year in positive cash flow if you want to grab my book I'll show you exactly what you should be looking at what not to buy what to buy how to get funding on how to get financing how to raise money for it how to create a partnership for it if you want to how to manage it but most importantly how to exit it because if you can't exit I know a lot of people in real estate right now I know a guy's got 600 houses he does not know how to get his money out of the 600 houses and if you can't exit then you're trapped so for 30 years when I started getting my life together it was about five years after I started getting my life together I started my dreams came back oh my god I won't find it so freedom I never wanted to be a billionaire I never wanted to have a plane okay I never thought about being an internet guru like a leader of people or having a book they follow I never thought about that I had one dream financial freedom I had that dream of financial freedom because my dad died and when my dad died even though my dad had done well it was obvious to me that we were not we did not have financial freedom because my mom who was the best friend of my entire life was terrified the week that she should have been in grief because of her husband dying she was terrified because she knew the finances it stopped so the age of 10 years old I wouldn't remember this until I was about 30 the age of 10 years old I realized hey look when the money stops everybody gets terrified she that could happen to a business right you could have a great business you could have a e-commerce business and it could get destroyed because some some bad news comes out some bad news comes out about products did you themselves or some competitive advantage comes out and replaces that problem or who knows maybe the internet goes down that's going to happen in our lifetime but when you invest in a right kind of real estate that produces income they pay the expenses it takes care of the property taxes that allows for enough money to take care of the tenants and the security and the land state and the management right anybody has ever had a bad experience with with real estate I can tell you guarantee you I can tell you it was less than eight units probably in a bad location you bought it because it looked like a great cash hotel tax return you were bragging about some 20% cash on cash and then as soon as the economy crashed and on before that you couldn't keep the tenants in it tenants turn lights and toilets they killed you not true what kills you was it didn't produce enough income for war it's trouble 30 years I've been by real estate I bought over a billion dollars what a real estate one billion dollars we own about nine hundred million dollars that real estate today I started I started with one unit my second deal was 38 units my third deal was 48 units my fourth deal was 92 units don't make mistakes by and the wrong stuff you hit the link below I'll send you the book for free you take care of the shipping if you're outside the US by the way all this applies these rules applied to outside the US hit the international button that's sometimes shipping outside the US is so ridiculously expensive I don't want you guys to waste that much money on shipping and then it gets tied up in customs got this place beautiful by the way this is not the kind of real estate I'm talking about all this all this real estate right here is garbage do you like what garbage this is for rich people that are born not creating people these people are not creating anymore they're like hey let's just blow six million on this little joint will come here once or twice here this is a ridiculous all this real estate right here is some of the dumbest investment real estate in the world that house you live in do you M.B. you need to put that on a refrigerator dumb why is it dumb if it doesn't pay you it's not a good investment I know some of you gonna hate on me for this you're gonna be like man a house that didn't investment only because you've been told that it's not a good investment never has been a good investment except for one group which group benefited from housing in America more than any other group more than the person it lived there who benefited the most posting comments about okay so look on the book if you want to grab

telling my 20 year old self leave the drugs and alcohol alone leave it alone teach me money right you want to go experiment later and become a charter seen the do it later that too change the friends hang with the people that dream and hang with the people that are doing not the people that are complaining bitching morning groaning negative you got negative nallies I don't care for your mom or your dad brother uncle sister I don't care if you you were born in the womb whether if they negative get rid of those people and replace them with people that are positive people that are doing things the third thing start learn about real estate right now right this second okay if you can figure out how to strip on this stuff yourself or create a partnership or find somebody find somebody that's out putting their own money their own time their own energy and deals and partner with them I promise you we'll provide you with financial freedom that will bottle your mind in the future takes time okay it's not going to be easy but I guarantee this nothing sees you know that I guarantee this this is the one business there will be here 10 years 20 years 30 years from now it will take care of your family after you're gone I could die right now I could have a heart attack on this beats right now you know I stay that I don't will take care of my family and my charities for decades probably centuries to come so that's the advice I would get my 20 year old self man last last piece of advice help a lot of people want you to make it man help a lot of people make it say you can help people
