Short excerpt from a YouTube video ("Invest to solve the problem") in which the speaker argues for connecting directly with experienced real-estate investors rather than being referred to junior associates. The speaker emphasizes the value of paid access (e.g., membership fees) to genuine communities where one can communicate and potentially invest to solve problems, contrasting superficial introductions with direct relationship-building.
I'm not hiring a 22 year old person that said they've done millions of dollars of real estate deals and they know everything. I'm going to look for someone that's been there, done that through multiple cycles. Someone that I can relate to, someone I can actually tax or get into a community and communicate with the individual. Not say, oh, get with my right hand guy, get with my right hand girl. I'm not looking to be pawned off, I'm looking to connect. That takes money. You have to pay for this. Do you want to pay $500 a year just to be in a group where you might be able to talk to someone or invest to solve the problem?
