I am.

Let's do it, man.

And that guy sounds really awesome.

I skipped college.

Okay.

Yeah.

Firewood was in high school and right out of high school.

I was actually fixing beat up cars and flipping them.

So 17, 16 and 17, I would just buy a wrecked car.

I had a little garage that I'd work out of.

I'd clean it up.

I mean, literally, I painted cars, sanded fenders, fixed engines, changed oil, and then buy it cheaper because it was wrecked, clean it up, fix it, sell it, make a profit, and go back and do another one.

sometimes 500 bucks, a thousand bucks.

Then they went to 2000, then 5,000.

Then I started a collision repair shop and then a used auto collision business.

And then I got my first real estate deal at 18, no money down, just started knocking on a lot of doors and finally got this great old lady, Mrs. Lopresti to give me a deal with no money down.

So I paid her by the month and I renovated that place and went on to do more on subdivided land and had lots of apartments and

So what was her name?

I lived in upstate New York.

It seemed like everybody was Italian.
