Right, no. Real estate's a very,

unique asset class I think it's just the it's only the best asset class that anyone could be in yeah no question I just and I know you support that so dude you and I you know what here's a comparison you know all these corporate raiders right that we've all heard about T. Boone Pickens Carl Icahn all these billionaires okay they have a strategy Justin and their main strategy that became really popular in the late 80s is called the LBO the leveraged buyout

As real estate investors, we're doing LBOs. That's exactly what we're doing. The LBO strategy is this. They identify a company and hopefully this company, the sum of its parts are worth more than it's trading for.

Okay. They go in and they try to buy the company and they just pile debt on the company. Okay. And then they make the company, once they acquire it, pay the debt back with its own earnings. That's exactly what we do with rental properties. We pile debt on it, and then we make the tenant pay the debt.

That's exactly what we do with rental properties. We pile debt on it, and then we make the tenant pay the debt.

Okay? And then we get inflation-induced debt destruction and all these other things. There's just no other asset except doing LBOs. Yeah. If you're in that game, which would probably be better because I'd be bigger. Yeah. It has the same characteristics as a leveraged buyout. BLBO.

And we've got an event coming up, by the way, which we might see you at. Yeah. I don't know if you're going to make the trip, but it's in Southern California in April. Yeah. And it's called Empowered Investor Live. My main company is called Empowered Investor. Very cool.

And we've got an event coming up, by the way, which we might see you at. Yeah. I don't know if you're going to make the trip, but it's in Southern California in April. Yeah. And it's called Empowered Investor Live. My main company is called Empowered Investor. Very cool.

My real estate investment company has always been the top revenue source.

But, you know, it's a little bit hard to quantify that exactly because a lot of that business to that company comes from the podcasting and media company.

So there's my answer for you.

uh mostly residential we like housing you know at the end of the day everybody needs a place to live they can outsource the the call centers to india and the philippines and that lessens the need for office space uh you know they can outsource the manufacturing to china lessens the need for industrial properties at the end of the day everybody needs a place to live and the population is increasing dramatically in america so your core top line revenue in that business is obviously rental income roll up the whole business for me in 2015 what was total rental income from the real estate arm

uh rental yeah well that's a different question because that would be my personal portfolio of properties okay so uh the the real estate investment company that does business for clients is a separate business so i have several different businesses that hold real estate i own uh but um but the real estate investment company uh that does business for clients did about two million what do you mean when you say does business for clients we help clients invest

Yeah.
