And then at some point, a whole bunch of other people started to get in or several other, several other people, which is how everything works.

Like when some, when you prove something and, you know, and it works and it works well, it was working well for you and a lot of your students.

Like just talk about what's changed a little bit, the evolution over the time you've been doing this over the past, let's say 20 years or so.

So from 2002 to 2007, the market was freaking on fire and you could sell anything at any time.

We would sometimes go at some point of time, we actually almost bought properties off the MLS, perhaps a little discount, put them up in our auctions that we did and sold them at that 50% above that.

When 2008 hit, what obviously happened, we got on or a couple of aha moments during that time.

And the aha moment number one is that everyone out there started losing their shirt, but we did not.

And the reason why we did not is that if you buy stuff at 20 cents on the dollar and the market goes down by 50%, you still have a 30% profit margin in the deal.

Number two, what we realized is that we had actually sold a lot of properties with seller financing.

And we basically, when you get a property, when you get a $40,000 property for $5,000, you can sell it for $25,000 and make a $20,000 cash profit, or you can sell it for $40,000 with an $8,000 down payment, which is more than you actually pay the seller for the property.

So you can use $8,000, pay the seller $5,000 or $6,000, pay the title company $1,000, put $1,000 in your pocket, and now you still are being owed $32,000 in monthly payments of $500.

So when 2007, 2008 happened and 2009 happened, What we realized is number one is most of these buyers kept making their payments.

So while everyone else was losing their houses, we were continuing to actually make money and getting cash flow.

And then at some point, a whole bunch of other people started to get in or several other, several other people, which is how everything works.
