Key Takeaways:
“The realization, I guess Warren Buffett said it best, he said, ’If you don’t make money while you sleep, you’ll work till you die.’ And that was sort of a wake-up call for me, and that started my journey to alternative investments.” – Paul White
“I think what Reagan said a long time ago, ‘Trust but verify,’ is sort of the mantra that I would sing to all of them.” – Paul White
“Most investors make the mistake of just handing people money and never going to the site or never having to pay somebody to drive by to see if it’s there. Or anything else about the operator, and talking to other investors that have worked with them. Maybe you have done a background check on those people. There’s a lot that needs to be done because it’s a lot of money that you’re usually putting out there.” – Paul White
“I think the best thing you can do is a partnership, either with a seasoned investor or a seasoned operator, maybe rehabbing and renting a house together, so everything sort of split it, you can even do the same thing with some private lending as well.” – Paul White
“You know what, I’ve done a lot of syndications over the years and I will tell you, the operators that don’t have any money in the game makes me nervous.” – Paul White
