So, so, uh, I'll tell you a quick story is, um,
man, just buy my building and business.
So I started doing rental properties.
I started right after I retired, like 06.
And so I'm doing these rental properties.
And how I got started was I went to look at this property.
And man, the property was so dilapidated.
It was ridiculous.
But it was a duplex.
I grew up in a duplex, so I'm very aware of that.
And so I'm looking through and, man, we're doing inspection to go look at the property.
And Section 8, because I was on Section 8 as a kid, so I was trying to stay in that realm.
I tried to do a lot of programs with my foundation or just business-wise.
My niche is I'm a poor black kid who was unsubsidized.
Now they call it snack, but latchkey kid.
And man, so a lot of the things I do are about the things that I experienced or did not have at my disposal.
So I go in there in the 68 house and she has the oven open on and the tub still has water in it because of...
it not draining properly, not having any heat.
