Mike Andes explains that he is becoming a real estate agent and frames the move around a broader question: 'what business are we in?' He recounts starting by mowing lawns, learning from resources like BiggerPockets and Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and argues that business owners (specifically owners of Augusta Nation) should invest in real estate—particularly after 5–10 years and once they have multiple locations—as a tax-efficient wealth-building strategy.

So I'm becoming a real estate agent. Let me explain. So the question is really, what business are we in? Do we actually mow lawns and do landscaping? Are we too like McDonald's in the real estate game?
Even when I started first mowing lawns, I would listen to Bigger pockets and other real estate books like Rich Dad, Poor dad, and learned everything I possibly could about real estate and real estate investing. These type of strategies when it comes to the real estate side of things, is what's going to allow owners of Augusta Nation to, to build their wealth, especially as they get multiple locations or begin to grow and expand and need shop space.
And I truly believe after an owner has been in business for five, 10 years, they have multiple locations. That investment tool is extremely valuable to build wealth and do it so in a very tax efficient way. And so, yes, that is the game plan.
