In this brief monologue, the speaker explains that acquiring real estate without personal capital can be achieved either by earning the money or by borrowing it. He emphasizes that he chose the borrowing route, using seller financing to secure $12 million in real‑estate purchases without involving a bank. The core message is that the single most critical skill for entrepreneurs who want to structure such deals is effective communication. He urges listeners who are uncertain about whether to earn or borrow to first master communication, positioning it as the number‑one entrepreneurial skill for deal‑making.

Hey, if you want to buy real estate and you got no money, you can either earn it or you can borrow it. I opted for the second one. I did a lot of seller financing, borrowed $12 million without a bank loan. And there's only one skill you really need to be able to do that. You got to learn how to communicate. So if you haven't figured that piece out yet and you're trying to figure out, do I go earn the money? Do I borrow it? How do I even borrow money? Go learn how to communicate. That is the number one skill you need as an entrepreneur.
