A real estate veteran reflects on mentoring a colleague before legal troubles, contrasting that optimism with today's challenges. They describe the current market as rocky and blame structural industry changes plus what they see as government attacks on real estate from the top.
Take me back to before the lawsuits and before the settlement. Buddy, my card would be out so fast for let's get you licensed. Let me get you under my wing. I want to help you grow and make something of this. And then you look at where we are right now. And we're looking at a very rocky future in real estate, very rocky. And it's not just because we're undergoing some structural change. It's because the attacks on real estate are coming from the highest levels of government.
