Podcast Transcription:
Dustin Heiner [00:00:00]:
I get a call from the boss's bosses, boss's secretary, like top dog. And she says, Dustin, would you please come in the office? And I paused for a second. Sure. I hung up the phone. I said to myself, why are they calling me the office? Like this isn't normal. If I get laid off, does that make me a failure as a father? The last time I walked to my car, I felt like I was walking on clouds because I knew I would never ever need a job again. If you build the business first, then you have the experts that are doing it as opposed to you hoping that you're doing it right. Especially if you're investing out of state.
Dustin Heiner [00:00:27]:
Anybody that you hear, let's say Instagram or TikTok, the people that have been around since 2020, 2022, they started, oh, I bought three properties and I'm a millionaire, blah blah blah. I've now taught my 16 year old daughter to buy her first property. So she bought her first property three months ago. It's an active loss for you, so you can depreciate. $100,000 is what I did. Everything around real estate, I figure, well, shoot, what else can we do? Well, people need homeowners insurance, maybe I might go down that route. Do you mind if I just give everybody my course for free?
