I said, damn, this is not getting any better after being in a Bentley.
I don't know.
There's something weird with this picture.
And I walked into a guy's life.
His name was Jerome.
And Jerome said, I'll sell you the lot for $1,500.
I'll hold the paper on it.
And when you're done with your project, you make me whole.
10% interest on the land.
It balloons in 12 months.
And I went back to my hero, my dad.
So my dad was a union delegator, had a lot of political connection, a lot.
My dad was a very well sought individual because he rattled people's cage.
If you wanted to become a commissioner in this particular area, you'd go and get my dad and he'd make it happen for you.
That's how much he pulled.
And I went back to dad and I said, I need your friends from the building department.
I walked in with a set of plans.
So this individual that called me said 50% interest and 50% of the profits.
I said, I'll bite.
He said, I'll control the money.
