    Bart might come off as goofy but dude is so fucking smart, his trifecta rule of the big companies market analysis shifting cultures and following that is so dope. Always been a big brother type inspiration. You both have really built/continue to build your dream life. Thank you for inspiring all of us to do the same.

    I hadn’t noticed until now as a viewer for many years but you two have changed the trajectory of your family. Hearing a lot of barts childhood and his stories and some of Geos I can see that y’all have really broken something that Taika and your future kids will never have the need to experience. It’s beautiful to see. It’s inspiring !!! Y’all are doing something different I love it

    I wonder how much their next home is compared to this one.
    If it's comparable in price, then this sale is equivalent to a cash out refinance. On one hand you have more cash, but on the other hand your mortgage debt is also higher. The difference between a cash out refinance and selling though is that selling you have to pay capital gains tax, selling/closing costs (if you're buying another home).
    If they're buying a home for a much lower price though. They still have to pay capital gains, selling/closing, but they will have the same mortgage albeit at a higher interest rate, but have more cash on hand for investing or even paying for their home outright.

    • @BartGeo

      That's dope you know all of that! We're on the same page! We actually discussed multiple strategies with Thach, two of my real estate investor friends, and my accountant to see what the best course of action is for our 5 year financial plan and then 10 year family plan! So just like you, we like to examine literally every scenario and not only the pro's and con's but also their extended implications before we make a move!

    This is why people want to become youtubers but don't really know youtube isn't what gets people out there i mean it is but you need to do more and be more like creating business for your self and do marketing stuff. That's why you see all of these youtubers making it big and say in the near future they don't need to rely on youtube anymore. But marketing can be very tough if you don't know what your doing and as not every thing will go smoothly and one thing i learned from it is to always keep moving and searching for better products. I do wish this is also something school should teach kids is the housing system and finance it sucks we have to learn this all on our own and me in my mid 20's is just getting started. I guess cause stuff like this you have to be motivated to do so so they think that's why they aren't doing it.

    20:32 I'd like to know how U guys were able to pick everything for your new home, because that is really important! Also, does your new place have solar? I know that's something I really would like to have in a new house, especially in an area that is hot climate or that holds all 4 seasons, since that's where I am currently for some time & this place is turning into a master planned community....

    Y’all came a long way. I would sneak to the computer lab during lunch and watch your videos. If we could make it there without getting caught the teacher would let us stay and he sold us snacks. That got me through that year. We would also play halo on LAN.

      that's one hell of a story. i'd watch their videos on my school laptop back then, and some of my friends were also fans.

    Good to know what an older millennial couple's strategy is when looking to purchase and build a home.

      i mean its not any different its just what's your best options and what is your motivation to earn a home on your own. Its okay to stay with your parents as now a days news are telling us in the near future we might have to go back to the old ways and just live with our parents and then when we get older and make enough money we can be in a joint team as that's what i'm doing as right now its so hard to live on your own depending where you live. I don't want to live with roomates as its a number one rule of not doing so. But i say keep watching these types of videos and just gets some experience knowledge.
