A short monologue from an early-2024 YouTube video about real estate trends arguing that deals still exist but the market is in a different "season," so investors should adjust their strategy—"dress" for the market—using weather and clothing metaphors (winter jacket vs. beachwear) to illustrate cautious vs. optimistic stances.
That's kind of the game right now. Are there still deals out there? Absolutely. Are there still great things happening? Absolutely. But it's just a different season, so you just dress a little differently. That's what I say. People say, are you negative? I'm like, would you ask me if I'm negative? If I'm in December, the middle of winter in Colorado, and I've got, like, I've bundled up, I've got my jacket on and snow boots, you would just say, that's smart. You're dressing for the weather. And I'm like, you wouldn't tell me if I'm on a beach in Florida somewhere in, you know, summer in my bathing suit and with some suntan lotion? Man, you're just very, very positive. I think you're maybe a little bit too optimistic. I'd be like, no, it's sunny out. I got my swimsuit on. I'm ready to go. Right. Different seasons. So that's kind of how I look at it.
