[01]

Overview

He initially jokes about physical violence before pivoting to explain the actual real estate exit strategies: renting, refinancing, or selling. He concludes by summarizing the outcomes of good versus bad exits and promoting his lending services.

    POV: WHAT IF WE CAN'T PAY?

Transcript

Vladimir, be honest. What if we can't pay? Then I have three options for you. Options? What what kind of options? I can break your kneecaps, I can cut your fingers, or I'll take your kidney. Are are you serious? Of worse, I'm joking. So what is the real answer? You can rent you can refinance, or you can sell the property. That good be the exit. Exit. Can I can I go now? No. So the property loan pays itself? Yes. It does. But it takes time. Good exit, no problems. Bad exit, big problems. Call Vladimir your hard money rank, and you will have no problems.
