And now let’s jump into episode 1651 of The School of Greatness!

"Don't buy based on your ego. Buy based on what is the least expensive in the most expensive neighborhood. What you want to do is you want to buy, you want to get in at the least expensive. That way you have more room for equity." @Glennda Baker

“What do you wish you would have done differently around either the questions to ask, the infrastructure of how money is used and shared, or with each marriage that you’ve been in?”
“What advice would you give to someone in their twenties and thirties who are making between 70 and 120,000 a year, if they wanted to go all in on real estate for the next 30 years?”
“What do you think is going to be happening over the next few years in the housing market, especially with an election season coming up?”
