Brandon has seen real estate from a lot of different sides, been in the investment side for a really, really long time, but has seen multiple facets of this business. Very interesting story. It's, you know, besides him being a homie, one of the smartest guys I know in the investment space for people that don't know you that are listening to this, give us the high level.

Like you're a little bit about your background. Yeah.

I went in the Navy right out of high school, read two books while I was in the Navy. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins. And when I got out of the Navy, I did not want to do anything with electronic warfare. which is what my specialty was. I was an anti-ship missile defense operator. Saw three tours in the Gulf.

I'm considered a combat Desert Storm Navy veteran. But I came out and I just went into sales. And I've been selling since I was a kid. It's just I was born to be a salesperson. And got out of the Navy, sold MCI long distance, cars that really dodge in Colorado, started a mobile disc jockey business. Then I got headhunted into in-home water treatment sales.

Then I got headhunted into the mortgage industry and became a loan officer in Kansas City. And that was where my foray into the real estate world happened. You know, I... I've never made a cold call in the real estate arena. I just basically sent letters out to all of my clients that I had when I got in the mortgage business and started doing refinances and purchases.

And then I got connected with investment lending and just started crushing it in the I was funding investment loans left and right. And it was really because of the method. Rather than me trying to figure out how much money I could make on the loan, I just charged all of my investors a 1.5% rate and then gave them a par rate.

So I was beating every lender in the country by like a point on the rate. And that in turn meant that even when we had the real estate collapse in 2008, all the clients I had helped didn't lose their properties because I gave them stellar rates and I convinced them, don't just do zero down or 5% down, throw a little extra down because of the rate I'm giving you.

And everybody got to keep their properties. And it's really where I started to build my investor base in the real estate arena is by making those choices. But- Got headhunted over into the full-scale large development sales at Lake of the Ozarks. And I had about $86 million in projects under contract with the hedge fund group out of California. And that was 07.

And then we all know what happened in 08. And my whole world came crumbling down, right? Lost everything, had to file bankruptcy. But I did not let any of my investors lose their money. You know, there was a lot of people had deposits. I look, I don't care if it takes me a year, five years, 10 years. As soon as I can make up the deposit you put down on that, I'm going to make it up for you.
