In real estate, it’s not just about buying the deal—it’s about surviving what comes after. In this episode, Garrett and Seth break down why being well-capitalized is essential for navigating surprise repairs, vacancies, and major capital improvements. They share hard-earned lessons on how reserves can save a deal and keep your investment afloat. From stronger negotiation power to post-close stability, learn why cash isn’t just king—it’s your safety net.

Quote of the Day:
"Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing." – Warren Buffett

When we lack understanding or dive into decisions blindly, we expose ourselves to unnecessary risk—not because the path is inherently dangerous, but because we haven't equipped ourselves with the knowledge to navigate it. Whether it’s investing, career choices, or life decisions, true risk often stems not from the action itself, but from being unprepared or uninformed. The more we learn, research, and ask questions, the more we reduce uncertainty—and with it, the fear and danger of the unknown.

James' Lil Nugget:
Make a plan every single day! Each morning, take a few minutes to write a to-do list and set clear intentions for what you want to accomplish. By defining your goals upfront, you set yourself up for success.

Start your day with purpose, before the chaos sets in, helps you stay focused. When you solve people's problems, you become the solution, and people love problem solvers.
