Yeah, no, you got it. Look, income property is the most historically proven asset class in the entire world. There simply isn't an asset class like it because it has special multidimensional characteristics. You alluded to a few of them. You're absolutely right about that. And the other thing is it's the most tax-favored asset class in America.

And taxes, you were talking about that, are the largest expense in most people's lives. You know, it's funny and silly the way we are as humans. We will shop around for the best price on a vacation, the best price on a piece of clothing, the best price on a car or a TV set or a computer or whatever. But the single largest expense we have is taxes. Yet we won't Oh, cut the check.

So if you have a spending problem or a gambling problem or something, it's not that easy to access the money, which is a good thing because it sort of works in the background and it's just kind of chugging away 24-7, 365.

Yeah, it may not be their thing. I mean, you know, it may be, you know, Mark Zuckerberg, for example, he owns all sorts of real estate. He's an investor, too. Right. But that's not the way he really made his money. It's just you've got to put money into real estate because of the tax benefit, if for nothing else.
