In a 2003 retrospective, the speaker recounts his attempt to invest in real estate across multiple U.S. markets to avoid being tied to a single local recession. He describes traveling to cities such as Atlanta and Athens, Georgia, and the difficulty of coordinating with local realtors remotely, which he found nearly impossible. From this experience he concludes that investors should work with established local partners who conduct repeat business, providing leverage, reputation protection, and a safety net if a deal goes poorly. He contrasts this with the pitfalls of one‑off purchases found on Zillow, which lack any buying‑club power or leverage, making them riskier for national investors.
