In this brief, informal narration, the speaker highlights a college student who purchased a parcel of land while in school, constructed a house on it, and now lives there while leasing portions of the surrounding land to two distinct tenants. One tenant operates a wood‑chopping business, storing large quantities of timber on the property, and the other uses the land as a vehicle storage lot. The speaker finds the situation ironic and cool, emphasizing the entrepreneurial angle of turning college‑time land acquisition into a small‑scale real‑estate income stream.

Are you a land shark doing deals? Bought the land when he was in college, built the house and lived in it. So I thought it was kind of ironic that— Oh, wow. Katya in college and she— Yeah, I just find that kind of cool. Anyway, so, and then we drove through to the other side and there are— I think they said there was 2 paying tenants that are renting dirt. One guy has got a whole wood chopping business. There's a whole bunch of wood that he has. And then the other one, they're just storing a bunch of vehicles. And then anyway, so yeah, super cool.
