That's a real estate company.
We own a bunch of rentals.
It took a while.
What we did is we went straight to, we call it straight to series where most people would get a TV show.
They'll do like a sizzle reel, which is like a five, 10 minute episode pilot.
It started filming, which never happens in the industry.
Filming.
Well, the first thing we learned is that we had to do 10 houses.
We ended up doing six because our team just wasn't big enough at the time to handle 10 houses.
But I didn't want to do it because we'd have to raise about $2 or $3 million in investment capital in order to pull it off.
And I didn't think we could do that because I'd never raised that much money before.
But...
when you stretch yourself and you challenge yourself, it's amazing what you can accomplish.
And we ended up getting it done.
So that was a big thing for me.
It's like doing something I was afraid of doing.
I was terrified, but we got it done and I grew in immense ways.
Because we still had a wholesale flipping company.
We still have a rental company.
We have an Airbnb division.
