Chapter 1: How did Dossey Richards start his journey in real estate?
When you start getting paid, one group of people leave the room and a whole new usher in. That shit is superficial as f*** and you love it. I slid across a check, $525,000. The only thing that was going through my mind was, how much of this can I do? She opened up the door to the family. It's like the sky opened up. Within 36 months, I would be in prison sitting across from you in the child hall.
I was born in Brooklyn, New York. Parents, Jamaicans. Grew up in the 80s, man, where shit was crazy in the 80s in Brooklyn. This was, you know, the funny thing about growing up in the 80s, I tell people this all the time, where... People kind of say, oh, where we are, you have to have a mean fight game and you have to be able to fight and kick some ass. No, it's true. It's true.
The bullying shit, they talk about bullying. The bullying that they were doing in the 80s. I mean, today, I mean, motherfuckers are still traumatized from that shit. You know what I mean? I mean, you had to literally come out your door and be fighting like 10 fucking people. And I think that that whole logic just... It completely carried over.
It carried over into, I think with me, I think with so many other people, it carried over into that hustler's mindset. You know what I mean? It was always the fight, the continuation of the fight, the continuation of the push, and just constantly having that... You know, I think people become emboldened the more you go, the more you go, and the more you go.
So at least to business, to hustling, and then if you don't watch it, you know, you can end up into criminal activity, which is a whole other dichotomy.
Your mom was in real estate, wasn't she?
So my dad was a real estate broker. Oh, okay. Yeah, my dad was a real estate broker. Good memory, Matt. Good memory. Damn, Matt. I'm flattered that you remember that. Damn, thank you, Matt. I did remember. Not your mom. Oh, no, it was my dad. No, no, very close. My mother was a banker. So my mother, she had a master's degree in finance. She was a banker with Chase.
And she actually did trust and did management for large accounts. And my father, though, was a real estate broker. And he would buy properties. He would buy houses. And that was my introduction into real estate. I remember being a little kid. And I was close to my father, always.
father and i remember you know just driving around my father up and down brooklyn this is like early 80s and me sitting here and him driving through was miss miss miss miss miss miss i'm how much would you like for that house how much would you like for i'll give you a hundred thousand i'll give you two hundred thousand i mean he didn't have the money but you know it felt great so that was my introduction into um

Chapter 2: What challenges did Dossey face growing up in Brooklyn?
I was making $6,000, $7,000 a week just from running rooms with this program. And it took off so, I mean, it hit so hard from these rentals with these government programs. I started calling my friends down. And I started calling my friends. Next thing you know, we built my father. And the chick got so upset and so offended by the competition, she quit. She absolutely quit the job.
She just said, listen, you have your son going through here. You know, this is your broker. He shouldn't be doing this anyway. And he's creating competition for me.
Now she's ethical?
Now she has ethical issues. She looked at my father. My father looked at her and said, I understand how you feel. And I completely understand your position. And good luck to you. And she walked out the door and, man, we blew that thing up. And we were running rooms, literally, I was probably averaging $5,000 a week at 21, 22.
And we were absolutely, I brought in all my friends, like maybe five, six of us. And we literally were just advertised. We were called 0909 because the number was 718-363-0909. So everyone knew us as 0909. And we would have, and then the chicks, I mean, you know.
the chicks man this shit was endless you know you know nothing like you know you know women don't subsidize housing damn when you said it was all women i thought section because i've rented section i've never rented to a guy always Were you getting the commissions off of it too? The percentage off the yearly? We own the house. Oh, you own the house. We were just brokering.
Yeah, yeah.
We were just... That's what brokers do.
They typically get like a percent... I guess 15% is they get a percentage of the annual whatever is made, you know? Yeah. Or sometimes they'll get... Which is basically... It's basically like the first month's rent. Sure. You know, typically.
