And the second piece was we did a really good job at BiggerPockets of helping our members get started building their real estate portfolios, really helping new investors buy one, two, three, four properties.
But the professionalization of a real estate business was not something that I had focused on as part of our strategy and not something that I had a specific skillset in.
That's where we found this new CEO, Ale, who has that deep technology and management experience.
And the last part is I love real estate, but real estate is like the drill.
People don't want real estate.
They want the whole financial freedom.
And real estate's a very good way to achieve financial freedom, but it's part of a broader toolkit.
And that is really where my passion lies.
And so that's what I've been focusing on the last few months in particular.
And it's the same framework we just discussed here.
What is the journey to financial independence that people are taking?
Who is the typical person that is going along that?
How do they get there, right?
There's a dive-in period, and then there's a grind for 10 years where people work their jobs or their businesses and
And just maintain a big gap between their income and expenses to accumulate a big enough pile of assets to retire early.
And then there's an actual transition to retirement.
How do we actually solve those problems for folks in a really interesting way over the next couple of years and build something world-class there?
And that's a particularly fun challenge for me that I feel really well-equipped to go after.
Yeah, real estate is one component of the journey to financial independence.
And only about 27%, that's a pretty precise number there, of the FIRE community use real estate as part of that journey.
