    I used a financial advisor in the past to manage ETFS and Mutual Funds in Nj. In 2 years he changed barely anything so when I called him and started asking questions he called me back stating I was calling too much and asking too many questions. I then stopped using him. I also found out that the retirement account he was suppose to manage he had no access. I will never use a financial advisor.

My wife and I have so many travel plans upcoming, and I have a couple big opportunities that could be huge coming up. Still love how you are so relatable, open and transparent to all your viewers and supporters. I, and I know, that all that follow you feel like we know you like our closest friends. Such an important skill to have these days. A true success story for all to admire.

    Very interested in why you decided not to go to the securities backed loan for real estate purchase. Also is the purchase of your 3 other properties primarily to rent them out or is it to sell them at a profit after improving them?

    Is there a cost for your course in financial “know how investing”?

    do you have video on securities backed loans? How much do you need to have to do this? What did you do because you did not want to incur large capital gains to make a big purchase?,... I know about harvesting losses.
