Chad, thank you for being here. I appreciate you having me. Chad, why don’t you take a second and tell everybody a little bit about yourself? That’s a long story. I’m a former military guy who somehow ended up in the car business. I was a finance manager for a long time. I’m a failed business owner the first time around, broke as hell, and found real estate investing. That’s the shortest term. I’m not going to steal your story, but folks, I’m here with the greatest dad I know. We’re going to talk about that in a little bit because it’s a big part of my passion for this business. I start every week with a session I call the Bottom Line Up Front. As a military guy, you know what I mean. General, we’re in the tent, we’re briefing, mortar rounds come, and the general has to leave. I got to make sure he knew the most important thing. I want you to share the most important things happening now in business, the things people need to be focused on, things they need to be thinking about, and maybe things they should be trying to avoid. Impart your wisdom and the things they need to take away what’s happening now. I’ll start with my focus. I was in the car business when the crash happened in 2008. My focus now is to be smart and make sure that I’m not missing out on any opportunities. I feel like I don’t want to get crazy and out of hand, but I don’t want to miss the boat. Back then, I missed the boat on some things out of fear. For a lot of us as entrepreneurs, fear is a driver. It can stall your trajectory on what you want to do. Outside of that, I’m still looking to capitalize on all of the things that are right in front of my plate. One thing I don’t want to lose track of is why I got into this business and why I got out of the business that I was in. We’ll probably touch more on that. I’ve focused on chasing time. That’s been my number one thing, chasing time for my family. We’re blessed with an autistic little guy. Our whole family is totally blessed. That’s been my life focus now, going on what we’re doing. I try and intertwine and weave in and out of life, with that being my main focus. I would say don’t miss on opportunities, but don’t get too crazy. That’s all I have to say. That was great. You brought it up, so we’re going to go straight there. Many people get into this business. On my personal website, the headline says, “The business is a vehicle, not the dream.” I’ve been there. I’ve got lost in the business I claimed to have created to spend a lot of time with my family. I never saw my family because I was working in the business. Did you spend how many days in Florida? We spent six weeks roughly in Florida and a whole full month in Key West. We pretty much hung out on our boat every day. It’s the Salt Life. It was incredible. It’s you, your wife, and your kids. Did you shut your business down during that time? No. The investments side of my business never skipped a beat. I got back home, and I was behind on some stuff, but we still bought as many houses as we were going to buy, regardless of whether I was in the Keys or sitting in my office in the basement of the house. Your wife, Wendy, is a realtor. She’s a multi-state broker in Denver and South Carolina. We both have teams. It’s amazing. One thing we’ve figured out, and I do this to my wife a lot, is, “Drop of a hat.” We’re going to be gone for a week. We’re going to hit the road. We do these road trips. For example, I’d booked Airbnb for a month, and we’re going to live somewhere for a month. I always get this same response from her, “What? Can we just stay home?” I am not a homebody. I’ve crafted my business to be able to live that way because I’ve sat in the office and the car business for so long, chained to a desk, that I envy people that could travel and do what they wanted to do. I love my children and my dogs, but I’ve told my wife that when the young one is no longer in school, we’re going. I’m going to be up in the Northeast during the summer. I’m going to be in the South in the winter. Part of that, which I’m guilty of, is making excuses on why I can’t do it now. I could find someone to board the dogs. I could
