Key Takeaways:

“There are ways to invest with other people's money, but the way to get there is to partner with people.” – Eric Nelson

“If you're hitting a roadblock, I’d encourage you to find someone with maybe opposing skill sets and start looking at how they can do it.” – Eric Nelson

“I hear people say this a lot. A good deal basically takes hustle, knowledge, and money. And so, if you can do two of those, if you can find the deal and if you have the knowledge how to run it, chances are you’d probably find someone who has capital.” – Eric Nelson

“It turns out that opposite opinions are actually great. It's a healthy debate that really produces the best solution.” – Eric Nelson

“Sometimes, it just takes a push from a friend, from your spouse, or even from yourself, to say ‘Let’s go’. And a lot of times, you'll make mistakes, and that's okay. As long as they're not detrimental, learn from it, get better, and move on. You have to trust the knowledge that you've learned and go for it. Take the leap, because you can.” – Eric Nelson
