Key Takeaways:

“You gotta start somewhere. You can’t start with the 10,000 doors to hard portfolio. I know some of those people and I’ve interviewed them and that’s the story. They didn’t, whether they’re investment bankers or not, commercial builders or not, they’ve been doing this for a long time. And then they’ve just leveraged their professional career to expand their real estate businesses.” – John Carney

“I mean, take the action. If you show up and donate your time and effort, time and energy are like the two most valuable resources that anyone has that are big for me. Cause I like to be efficient with my time and energy. But if someone’s willing to help out you’re going to go somewhere.” – John Carney
