00:00:30,322 --> 00:00:30,343
[casey_]: a
9
00:00:31,731 --> 00:00:35,417
[blake_choisnet]: based in texas small town in east
texas called tyler texas
10
00:00:35,820 --> 00:00:35,840
[casey_]: m
11
00:00:36,198 --> 00:00:39,644
[blake_choisnet]: and i started investing when i lived
in a bigger city i was a shaler
12
00:00:39,724 --> 00:00:43,170
[blake_choisnet]: just looking to put down some roots
got my first property and house hacked that
13
00:00:43,230 --> 00:00:47,397
[blake_choisnet]: had somebody's paying for that and that's
when i kind of coughed the bug and
14
00:00:47,597 --> 00:00:50,943
[blake_choisnet]: started thinking man this is pretty s
pretty cool somebody else paying for my properties
15
00:00:51,530 --> 00:00:51,651
[casey_]: yep
16
00:00:51,684 --> 00:00:54,569
[blake_choisnet]: but i couldn't really scale in a
big big city so i started looking at
17
00:00:54,870 --> 00:01:00,639
[blake_choisnet]: remote investing and so i i really
kind of sharpened my teeth on remote bur
18
00:01:00,699 --> 00:01:05,169
[blake_choisnet]: investing and so i invested market about
four and a half hours away from austin
19
00:01:06,111 --> 00:01:11,625
[blake_choisnet]: and started doing burs and in eighteen
months had a multi million dollar portfolio self
20
00:01:11,685 --> 00:01:14,129
[blake_choisnet]: made millionaire in five years and
21
00:01:14,002 --> 00:01:14,184
[casey_]: wow
22
00:01:14,890 --> 00:01:19,358
[blake_choisnet]: just kind of scaling from there so
you know left the w to world and
23
00:01:19,418 --> 00:01:22,403
[blake_choisnet]: now i spend a lot of time
growing my portfolio teach other people how to
24
00:01:22,463 --> 00:01:26,830
[blake_choisnet]: do it hang out with my wife
and my baby boy and he's about three
25
00:01:26,870 --> 00:01:28,235
[blake_choisnet]: months old so we're getting some some

you know and there are so many people
29
00:01:34,206 --> 00:01:40,937
[casey_]: that miss out on that stuff because
they're chasing they're chasing the non recharging dollar
30
00:01:41,078 --> 00:01:41,859
[casey_]: if that makes sense
31
00:01:41,737 --> 00:01:42,394
[blake_choisnet]: right
32
00:01:43,001 --> 00:01:46,887

39
00:02:02,784 --> 00:02:02,926
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
40
00:02:03,335 --> 00:02:09,565

00:02:09,625 --> 00:02:12,169
[casey_]: you will the infinite income is what
some people
42

[blake_choisnet]: hm
43
00:02:12,230 --> 00:02:16,797
[casey_]: call it so anyway but yeah that's
that's great and ended again spending time with
44
00:02:16,837 --> 00:02:22,707
[casey_]: your kids and family and raising and
raising your children and and really your health
45
00:02:22,747 --> 00:02:26,854
[casey_]: and everything else out of benefit too
so um well how did you get started
46
00:02:26,866 --> 00:02:27,031
[blake_choisnet]: what
47
00:02:26,914 --> 00:02:31,422
[casey_]: i mean obviously you just gave us
the synopsis but but you know what you
48
00:02:31,502 --> 00:02:34,148
[casey_]: house hacked the first deal where was
that at what was that
49
00:02:34,033 --> 00:02:39,008
[blake_choisnet]: m i was in austin texas i
bought it for two fifty um i put
50
00:02:39,189 --> 00:02:42,827
[blake_choisnet]: five per cent down and then it
was a four bed two bath so i
51
00:02:42,927 --> 00:02:46,273
[blake_choisnet]: rented it out to three of my
buddies at six hundred bucks a month my
52
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:50,940
[blake_choisnet]: mortgage was seventeen forty seven and so
i about you know i covered it was
53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,487
[blake_choisnet]: a little probably a little bit in
the negative just from it pence and stuff
54
00:02:53,527 --> 00:02:53,808
[blake_choisnet]: like that
55
00:02:53,772 --> 00:02:53,916
[casey_]: sure
56
00:02:53,889 --> 00:02:56,281
[blake_choisnet]: but i was also living in it
got to write literally everything off
57
00:02:56,750 --> 00:02:56,872
[casey_]: yep
58
00:02:57,744 --> 00:03:00,428
[blake_choisnet]: i went from paying money in taxes
to get in a big fat check at
59
00:03:00,448 --> 00:03:04,533
[blake_choisnet]: the end of the year and so
i did that had my buddies lived there
60
00:03:05,674 --> 00:03:08,619
[blake_choisnet]: and and then i did that again
with another house about a year and a
61
00:03:08,659 --> 00:03:11,864
[blake_choisnet]: half later and that's when i started
you know was talking to a buddy of
62
00:03:11,904 --> 00:03:15,430
[blake_choisnet]: mine who he was also my agent
became a really good friend and we were
63
00:03:15,450 --> 00:03:17,594
[blake_choisnet]: kind of brain storming thinking wealth just
64
00:03:17,499 --> 00:03:17,520
[casey_]: m
65
00:03:17,655 --> 00:03:17,835
[blake_choisnet]: got
66
00:03:18,060 --> 00:03:18,960
[casey_]: yeah
67
00:03:18,156 --> 00:03:21,529
[blake_choisnet]: my house hacked one house every every
year fifteen years put them all on a
68
00:03:21,569 --> 00:03:25,468
[blake_choisnet]: fifteen year note in fifteen years i'd
be free i just do
69
00:03:25,500 --> 00:03:25,623
[casey_]: yep
70
00:03:25,508 --> 00:03:28,994
[blake_choisnet]: a cash out re finance once a
year i walk away with you know eighty
71
00:03:29,034 --> 00:03:31,538
[blake_choisnet]: percent of you know whatever that is
three hundred grand and for the life of
72
00:03:31,578 --> 00:03:33,541
[blake_choisnet]: me i was like i don't know
what i would do with that money like
73
00:03:33,601 --> 00:03:38,229
[blake_choisnet]: that's that's just a stupid amount money
and so i said okay my fifteen years
74
00:03:38,289 --> 00:03:41,234
[blake_choisnet]: is my the longest that is going
to take me to do this maybe i
75
00:03:41,291 --> 00:03:41,393
[casey_]: eh
76
00:03:41,294 --> 00:03:45,020
[blake_choisnet]: can push this thing up a little
bit and so i started looking at remote
77
00:03:45,060 --> 00:03:49,444
[blake_choisnet]: markets actually bought a property wake with
a good friend of mine who you know
78
00:03:49,504 --> 00:03:52,349
[blake_choisnet]: grew up in poverty and was just
looking to try and get into a house
79
00:03:52,369 --> 00:03:57,397
[blake_choisnet]: so that she could take care of
some some essentially women getting out of really
80
00:03:57,437 --> 00:03:58,219
[blake_choisnet]: hard relationships
81
00:03:58,450 --> 00:03:58,614
[casey_]: sure
82
00:03:58,559 --> 00:04:02,426
[blake_choisnet]: and provide home for them so i
fronted the down pay and she lived in
83
00:04:02,486 --> 00:04:05,591
[blake_choisnet]: it and what not and then with
the goal of a few years later re
84
00:04:05,651 --> 00:04:09,998
[blake_choisnet]: financing out her being able to own
it and so we just we just exited
85
00:04:10,058 --> 00:04:13,804
[blake_choisnet]: that probably about a year ago and
she owns that out right but then at
86
00:04:13,824 --> 00:04:17,008
[blake_choisnet]: that point i started looking like how
do i do this remotely so i started
87
00:04:17,048 --> 00:04:20,291
[blake_choisnet]: out doing the kind of the d
i y method the school hard knocks i
88
00:04:20,371 --> 00:04:24,040
[blake_choisnet]: saved up ten grand of stupid money
just the tuition i knew i was going
89
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:24,301
[blake_choisnet]: to pay
90
00:04:24,941 --> 00:04:25,145
[casey_]: yeah
91
00:04:25,314 --> 00:04:29,381
[blake_choisnet]: my first my first contractor and it
was worth it to me you know like
92
00:04:30,162 --> 00:04:32,866
[blake_choisnet]: it was it was worth what i
knew i was going to end up getting
93
00:04:32,906 --> 00:04:37,634
[blake_choisnet]: and learning and so my first contractor
walked off with twelve grand no i didn't
94
00:04:37,654 --> 00:04:42,840
[blake_choisnet]: know how to manage contractors remotely i
didn't know wat i was doing but i
95
00:04:42,940 --> 00:04:47,286
[blake_choisnet]: ended up learned the process learned from
somebody else they taught me and then just
96
00:04:47,306 --> 00:04:51,398
[blake_choisnet]: kind of scaled from there i got
access to some private money someone who lent
97
00:04:51,438 --> 00:04:57,761
[blake_choisnet]: me a hundred thousand dollars ten percent
ten and one and really just started kind
98
00:04:57,801 --> 00:05:03,109
[blake_choisnet]: of recycling that money and then around
you know a few years later you know
99
00:05:03,550 --> 00:05:09,119
[blake_choisnet]: this you know recently got a year
or two ago austin's market just went bankers
100
00:05:09,901 --> 00:05:09,981
[blake_choisnet]: and
101
00:05:09,950 --> 00:05:10,213
[casey_]: yes
102
00:05:10,021 --> 00:05:13,407
[blake_choisnet]: so i sold my house we listed
it at i bought it for two fifty
103
00:05:13,487 --> 00:05:18,179
[blake_choisnet]: i owned about two hundred at the
time um we listed it nine nine and
104
00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:22,909
[blake_choisnet]: close to four ninety seven and then
i took that money and just put it
105
00:05:22,949 --> 00:05:24,572
[blake_choisnet]: all into turnkeys twenty percent down
106
00:05:24,583 --> 00:05:24,885
[casey_]: sure
107
00:05:24,672 --> 00:05:26,074
[blake_choisnet]: twenty percent down lot of seven
108
00:05:26,073 --> 00:05:26,940
[casey_]: right
109
00:05:26,134 --> 00:05:29,019
[blake_choisnet]: plugs a couple dry places a couple
single families
110
00:05:29,631 --> 00:05:29,795
[casey_]: sure
111
00:05:29,820 --> 00:05:32,367
[blake_choisnet]: and continue to do that did that
with the other house and thirty one to
112
00:05:32,407 --> 00:05:37,609
[blake_choisnet]: that one into a bunch of other
properties yeah so that's that's kind of what
113
00:05:37,849 --> 00:05:42,974
[blake_choisnet]: what it's looked like i met my
wife about half way through this journey and
114
00:05:43,775 --> 00:05:46,921
[blake_choisnet]: so we started kind of planning what
do we want life to look like and
115
00:05:46,961 --> 00:05:47,281
[blake_choisnet]: what not
116
00:05:47,151 --> 00:05:47,335
[casey_]: sure
117
00:05:47,321 --> 00:05:50,687
[blake_choisnet]: and so so now we've settled down
out here it's actually been a really cool
118
00:05:50,987 --> 00:05:55,195
[blake_choisnet]: deal because part of our goal was
we want to be able to be active
119
00:05:55,235 --> 00:05:59,686
[blake_choisnet]: in our community and kind of a
presence for a community so theoretically we were
120
00:05:59,706 --> 00:06:03,394
[blake_choisnet]: thinking back then we could say well
what does our community need how can we
121
00:06:03,775 --> 00:06:07,080
[blake_choisnet]: help if we're the right people to
actually do it great most of the time
122
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:08,863
[blake_choisnet]: we're not at least we get the
right people in the room
123
00:06:09,530 --> 00:06:09,653
[casey_]: yep
124
00:06:09,964 --> 00:06:12,969
[blake_choisnet]: but then we got out here and
my wife's life dream was to open our
125
00:06:12,989 --> 00:06:18,138
[blake_choisnet]: own ballet studio for little and so
little ages like you know youngsters single digit
126
00:06:18,398 --> 00:06:19,540
[blake_choisnet]: us two to tan basically
127
00:06:19,401 --> 00:06:20,251
[casey_]: sure sure
128
00:06:20,522 --> 00:06:24,226
[blake_choisnet]: and so went you know we have
the passive income so we didn't have to
129
00:06:24,286 --> 00:06:28,451
[blake_choisnet]: rely on it as an income source
if it lost money that that's fine and
130
00:06:28,531 --> 00:06:34,078
[blake_choisnet]: so we we started this ballet studio
and it's for girls ages to to tend
131
00:06:34,799 --> 00:06:38,425
[blake_choisnet]: and it's a four profit business with
a non profit motive so the girls that
132
00:06:38,746 --> 00:06:42,692
[blake_choisnet]: can afford it they pay full market
market right and the girls that can't we
133
00:06:42,733 --> 00:06:47,257
[blake_choisnet]: scholarship in with the proceeds from the
girls that can and it's been really cool
134
00:06:47,518 --> 00:06:51,104
[blake_choisnet]: boutique we've got the studio on our
property we have a detached garage we live
135
00:06:51,144 --> 00:06:55,411
[blake_choisnet]: in a historic district so we converted
that into the dance studio and and it's
136
00:06:55,431 --> 00:06:59,417
[blake_choisnet]: been cool in fact we'll have e'll
have i don't know thirty ballarinas here and
137
00:06:59,717 --> 00:07:03,882
[blake_choisnet]: later this afternoon but it's a cool
way for us to help serve the community
138
00:07:05,385 --> 00:07:09,361
[blake_choisnet]: and in a really unique way that
matches particularly my wife's giftings
139
00:07:09,980 --> 00:07:13,526
[casey_]: sure yeah that's awesome an and then
like you said a way to give back
140
00:07:13,626 --> 00:07:15,629
[casey_]: and make things where you know
141
00:07:15,994 --> 00:07:16,014
[blake_choisnet]: m
142
00:07:17,192 --> 00:07:20,858
[casey_]: leave more than we take i guess
and that seems to be kind of the
143
00:07:20,958 --> 00:07:25,345
[casey_]: going adage right now with everybody is
trying to seems like a lot of people
144
00:07:25,385 --> 00:07:28,871
[casey_]: are trying to give back especially through
from our business business models
145
00:07:28,824 --> 00:07:28,986
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
146
00:07:28,951 --> 00:07:31,896
[casey_]: has been so good to most of
us that that hey given back a little
147
00:07:31,936 --> 00:07:33,359
[casey_]: bit is the least we could do
so
148
00:07:33,965 --> 00:07:34,128
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
149
00:07:34,721 --> 00:07:40,972
[casey_]: so when you talk about your investments
right now what what's your major asset class
150
00:07:41,032 --> 00:07:43,416
[casey_]: like what's the first asset class that
you
151
00:07:43,504 --> 00:07:44,314
[blake_choisnet]: oh
152
00:07:43,897 --> 00:07:44,758
[casey_]: are most interested
153
00:07:44,814 --> 00:07:44,894
[blake_choisnet]: the
154
00:07:44,838 --> 00:07:44,898
[casey_]: in
155
00:07:44,974 --> 00:07:48,667
[blake_choisnet]: bulk of my portfolio is single family
and then i have some
156
00:07:48,511 --> 00:07:48,693
[casey_]: yes
157
00:07:48,867 --> 00:07:50,192
[blake_choisnet]: small medium multi family
158
00:07:51,565 --> 00:07:52,149
[casey_]: okay how
159
00:07:52,104 --> 00:07:52,164
[blake_choisnet]: and
160
00:07:52,189 --> 00:07:52,270
[casey_]: big
161
00:07:52,204 --> 00:07:52,425
[blake_choisnet]: i'm kind
162
00:07:52,371 --> 00:07:52,411
[casey_]: is
163
00:07:52,445 --> 00:07:52,485
[blake_choisnet]: of
164
00:07:52,492 --> 00:07:52,955
[casey_]: the biggest
165
00:07:52,665 --> 00:07:57,974
[blake_choisnet]: i'm scaling into the medium multi family
looking at like twenty to forty units at
166
00:07:58,034 --> 00:07:58,435
[blake_choisnet]: a time
167
00:07:58,831 --> 00:07:59,015
[casey_]: okay
168
00:07:59,957 --> 00:08:04,745
[blake_choisnet]: but my approach was i said well
i could go straight into a large multi
169
00:08:04,825 --> 00:08:08,752
[blake_choisnet]: family the risk exposure is a lot
higher the reward is a lot higher too
170
00:08:09,536 --> 00:08:09,638
[casey_]: try
171
00:08:09,593 --> 00:08:14,121
[blake_choisnet]: i i you know i'm a more
conservative person and grew up in a you
172
00:08:14,161 --> 00:08:17,206
[blake_choisnet]: know my dad's a dave ramsey guy
you know or at least at the time
173
00:08:17,246 --> 00:08:21,773
[blake_choisnet]: was the drams guy like no debt
none of that and so i was hesitant
174
00:08:21,794 --> 00:08:23,376
[blake_choisnet]: to take on too much
175
00:08:24,011 --> 00:08:24,135
[casey_]: yep
176
00:08:24,177 --> 00:08:27,283
[blake_choisnet]: because of the risk exposure you know
if i do a job ten percent wrong
177
00:08:27,343 --> 00:08:31,547
[blake_choisnet]: on a ten and dollar you know
asset as a posed percent wrong on a
178
00:08:31,968 --> 00:08:33,369
[blake_choisnet]: hundred thousand dollar property you know like
179
00:08:33,450 --> 00:08:33,593
[casey_]: yeah
180
00:08:33,510 --> 00:08:35,992
[blake_choisnet]: one is going to bankrupt me the
other one is just a gut punch you
181
00:08:36,032 --> 00:08:36,312
[blake_choisnet]: know so
182
00:08:36,370 --> 00:08:37,616
[casey_]: at's right that's right
183
00:08:37,484 --> 00:08:41,531
[blake_choisnet]: so i started there and kind of
scaled from there but i love single family
184
00:08:42,172 --> 00:08:47,601
[blake_choisnet]: because they're so liquid like i needed
to get rid of one for some reason
185
00:08:47,701 --> 00:08:51,551
[blake_choisnet]: i say we had some medical expense
or whatever i just liquidated i can sell
186
00:08:51,612 --> 00:08:52,635
[blake_choisnet]: it in sixty days
187
00:08:53,210 --> 00:08:53,370
[casey_]: you're
188
00:08:53,278 --> 00:08:53,398
[blake_choisnet]: right
189
00:08:53,411 --> 00:08:53,912
[casey_]: basically
190
00:08:53,418 --> 00:08:54,121
[blake_choisnet]: but if i want to sell
191
00:08:54,032 --> 00:08:56,318
[casey_]: sixty always sixty days away from your
money
192
00:08:56,454 --> 00:09:01,201
[blake_choisnet]: yeah yeah yeah so i love the
liquidity but there's a there's some natural overhead
193
00:09:01,262 --> 00:09:05,068
[blake_choisnet]: that one close one unit as opposed
to you know right now i'm closed on
194
00:09:05,128 --> 00:09:10,657
[blake_choisnet]: an aplexthat i'm going to bur um
there's some some efficiencies there but yeah that's
195
00:09:10,738 --> 00:09:16,007
[blake_choisnet]: that's the breakdown it's a i don't
know sixty percent of the portfolio single family
196
00:09:16,027 --> 00:09:18,588
[blake_choisnet]: of the rest is you know anywhere
from three
197
00:09:18,583 --> 00:09:18,724
[casey_]: any
198
00:09:18,628 --> 00:09:18,708
[blake_choisnet]: to
199
00:09:18,825 --> 00:09:19,066
[casey_]: short
200
00:09:19,089 --> 00:09:19,230
[blake_choisnet]: ten
201
00:09:19,167 --> 00:09:19,369
[casey_]: term
202
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:19,511
[blake_choisnet]: nuts
203
00:09:19,470 --> 00:09:20,094
[casey_]: rendal stuff
204
00:09:21,245 --> 00:09:23,151
[blake_choisnet]: long term ronalds primarily i've looked
205
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:23,142
[casey_]: got
206
00:09:23,211 --> 00:09:29,016
[blake_choisnet]: at getting into short term runnels my
approach is start with something that is a
207
00:09:29,116 --> 00:09:30,078
[blake_choisnet]: lot more predictable
208
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:30,681
[casey_]: yep
209
00:09:30,659 --> 00:09:34,605
[blake_choisnet]: maybe it's there's less opportunity as far
as cash flow goes but is a lot
210
00:09:34,645 --> 00:09:38,993
[blake_choisnet]: more predictable um and then the other
piece is i want to spend a very
211
00:09:39,133 --> 00:09:40,964
[blake_choisnet]: small out of my time on it
so
212
00:09:40,951 --> 00:09:41,115
[casey_]: yes
213
00:09:41,044 --> 00:09:44,976
[blake_choisnet]: with my portfolio with the things that
are already set up i spend probably about
214
00:09:45,016 --> 00:09:45,941
[blake_choisnet]: thirty minutes a month on it
215
00:09:46,661 --> 00:09:46,743
[casey_]: so
216
00:09:46,774 --> 00:09:49,039
[blake_choisnet]: if i'm acquiring more stuff great
217
00:09:48,860 --> 00:09:49,800
[casey_]: yeah
218
00:09:49,220 --> 00:09:53,538
[blake_choisnet]: but short term reynolds i would have
to put a lot more time and effort
219
00:09:53,638 --> 00:09:58,065
[blake_choisnet]: into it up front and call me
lays call me whatever like i don't really
220
00:09:58,105 --> 00:10:01,792
[blake_choisnet]: want to do it you know so
i would like we are probably going to
221
00:10:01,832 --> 00:10:05,688
[blake_choisnet]: use some short term mental strategy for
we're looking at by a lake as and
222
00:10:06,009 --> 00:10:08,517
[blake_choisnet]: a beach as and stuff like that
let the short term rental stuff kind of
223
00:10:09,119 --> 00:10:09,460
[blake_choisnet]: pay for
224
00:10:09,481 --> 00:10:09,641
[casey_]: well
225
00:10:09,540 --> 00:10:10,001
[blake_choisnet]: itself
226
00:10:09,661 --> 00:10:12,666
[casey_]: that's what that's what my wife and
i are doing right now we've got
227
00:10:12,644 --> 00:10:12,788
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
228
00:10:12,806 --> 00:10:15,330
[casey_]: we've got a we're building a like
house and
229
00:10:15,447 --> 00:10:15,467
[blake_choisnet]: m
230
00:10:15,571 --> 00:10:19,397
[casey_]: we're gonna we're going to short term
rental it you know ninety percent of the
231
00:10:19,457 --> 00:10:20,339
[casey_]: time and the
232
00:10:20,354 --> 00:10:20,498
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
233
00:10:20,379 --> 00:10:22,522
[casey_]: other temper in time we want to
take some friends on the ear if i
234
00:10:22,583 --> 00:10:23,584
[casey_]: want to entertain a client
235
00:10:23,524 --> 00:10:23,544
[blake_choisnet]: m
236
00:10:23,644 --> 00:10:27,290
[casey_]: or do something like that that sounds
weird entertaining client but
237
00:10:27,934 --> 00:10:28,096
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
238
00:10:28,252 --> 00:10:30,856
[casey_]: if i want to if i want
to take some idea or take you know
239
00:10:31,177 --> 00:10:34,283
[casey_]: show him around or whatever and let
him stay down or something like that so
240
00:10:34,343 --> 00:10:35,806
[casey_]: it's the same deal yeah but short
241
00:10:35,814 --> 00:10:35,974
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
242
00:10:35,866 --> 00:10:36,627
[casey_]: term run going to be
243
00:10:36,595 --> 00:10:36,695
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
244
00:10:36,708 --> 00:10:37,068
[casey_]: ultimately
245
00:10:36,755 --> 00:10:40,602
[blake_choisnet]: that's what we would be looking at
but doing it specifically like just for cash
246
00:10:40,662 --> 00:10:44,308
[blake_choisnet]: flow or just for income and stuff
like that we haven't got gotten into that
247
00:10:44,708 --> 00:10:44,789
[blake_choisnet]: and
248
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:45,062
[casey_]: yeah
249
00:10:44,929 --> 00:10:50,117
[blake_choisnet]: i think that goes back to my
you know the natural conservatism that i that
250
00:10:50,158 --> 00:10:54,244
[blake_choisnet]: i feel and employ i'm always growing
and taking more risks and bigger risks and
251
00:10:54,345 --> 00:10:57,570
[blake_choisnet]: you know some things in my business
that i'm doing that i think are healthy
252
00:10:57,630 --> 00:11:00,135
[blake_choisnet]: for me to say that's scared i'm
going to do it so that it's a
253
00:11:00,155 --> 00:11:02,441
[blake_choisnet]: method of building courage so i can
teach my boy you know how
254
00:11:02,420 --> 00:11:02,582
[casey_]: that's
255
00:11:02,461 --> 00:11:02,942
[blake_choisnet]: to be brave
256
00:11:02,662 --> 00:11:02,843
[casey_]: right
257
00:11:03,764 --> 00:11:08,231
[blake_choisnet]: and things like that but so for
this you know i'm saying build a foundation
258
00:11:08,331 --> 00:11:11,677
[blake_choisnet]: and then you know if i want
to hop over a short term rentals or
259
00:11:11,737 --> 00:11:15,343
[blake_choisnet]: do something that's you know maybe even
you know buy into it i'm right now
260
00:11:15,403 --> 00:11:19,414
[blake_choisnet]: one of opportunities of looking at is
buying into an amazon fulfillment service i just
261
00:11:19,775 --> 00:11:22,419
[blake_choisnet]: pay money and i don't i don't
literally don't do i don't know but maybe
262
00:11:22,499 --> 00:11:24,422
[blake_choisnet]: thirty minutes or an hour of work
a month
263
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:25,142
[casey_]: yep
264
00:11:25,424 --> 00:11:28,069
[blake_choisnet]: man the cash comes in and they
manage everything like i don't have to do
265
00:11:28,149 --> 00:11:28,189
[blake_choisnet]: it
266
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:28,962
[casey_]: yep
267
00:11:29,271 --> 00:11:32,420
[blake_choisnet]: those are the types of things that
are most a trac to me but i
268
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,036
[blake_choisnet]: do really like the idea of being
able to get somebody else to pay for
269
00:11:37,257 --> 00:11:41,505
[blake_choisnet]: and pay off my lake house or
my mountain house or whatever so that's kind
270
00:11:41,545 --> 00:11:43,770
[blake_choisnet]: of our our next step so you'll
271
00:11:43,712 --> 00:11:43,873
[casey_]: yeah
272
00:11:43,790 --> 00:11:44,932
[blake_choisnet]: have to let me know how you
goes
273
00:11:45,610 --> 00:11:51,099
[casey_]: yeah yeah yeah i definitely will it
seems like you know all of the neighboring
274
00:11:51,179 --> 00:11:56,348
[casey_]: properties that do that in our area
seems to be done really really well and
275
00:11:56,408 --> 00:12:03,660
[casey_]: i think one of the things that
really differentiate like good short term rental properties
276
00:12:03,820 --> 00:12:04,902
[casey_]: versus properties
277
00:12:04,804 --> 00:12:05,027
[blake_choisnet]: oh
278
00:12:04,922 --> 00:12:08,628
[casey_]: that are just kind of when it
comes to the income part of it is
279
00:12:08,709 --> 00:12:09,069
[casey_]: a water
280
00:12:08,950 --> 00:12:09,484
[blake_choisnet]: hm
281
00:12:09,109 --> 00:12:11,012
[casey_]: fee or a water feature it's like
it's
282
00:12:10,954 --> 00:12:11,116
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
283
00:12:11,052 --> 00:12:14,378
[casey_]: like i bet there's i bet there's
a sixty per cent difference in the income
284
00:12:14,538 --> 00:12:15,119
[casey_]: but there's also
285
00:12:15,275 --> 00:12:15,417
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
286
00:12:15,540 --> 00:12:18,224
[casey_]: a higher price for the for the
purchase and ours ours
287
00:12:18,227 --> 00:12:18,814
[blake_choisnet]: hm
288
00:12:18,285 --> 00:12:21,570
[casey_]: is like front like like you walk
at the end of our property and the
289
00:12:21,650 --> 00:12:22,351
[casey_]: lake is right
290
00:12:22,326 --> 00:12:22,427
[blake_choisnet]: you
291
00:12:22,391 --> 00:12:22,532
[casey_]: there
292
00:12:22,528 --> 00:12:23,293
[blake_choisnet]: fall in a
293
00:12:23,714 --> 00:12:23,814
[casey_]: so
294
00:12:24,079 --> 00:12:24,220
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
295
00:12:24,154 --> 00:12:28,502
[casey_]: that was now the lot was i
was i was actually called crazy by one
296
00:12:28,522 --> 00:12:29,984
[casey_]: of the neighbors for what i paid
for the lot
297
00:12:30,647 --> 00:12:31,234
[blake_choisnet]: hm
298
00:12:31,466 --> 00:12:34,492
[casey_]: but there was a lot of things
that went along it that really
299
00:12:34,490 --> 00:12:35,044
[blake_choisnet]: hm
300
00:12:34,552 --> 00:12:38,178
[casey_]: made it an enticing deal as far
as what we were going to do so
301
00:12:38,658 --> 00:12:40,802
[casey_]: so there's a lot of things what
you got to you've got to know some
302
00:12:40,822 --> 00:12:45,730
[casey_]: of those nuances and that's one of
the things about single family anything you have
303
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:48,094
[casey_]: to know the nuances of the market
because you dont know the nuances
304
00:12:47,970 --> 00:12:48,484
[blake_choisnet]: hm
305
00:12:48,174 --> 00:12:50,799
[casey_]: of the market you can get burned
really quick but like you said if
306
00:12:50,754 --> 00:12:50,916
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
307
00:12:50,839 --> 00:12:53,864
[casey_]: you if you're ten percent of your
whole portfolio you're out a hundred thousand dollars
308
00:12:54,365 --> 00:12:59,754
[casey_]: stings hurts yeah but ultimate financial death
now um
309
00:12:59,454 --> 00:13:00,823
[blake_choisnet]: right yeah
310
00:13:00,114 --> 00:13:02,498
[casey_]: you know come back able you lose
a million two
311
00:13:02,420 --> 00:13:02,914
[blake_choisnet]: hm
312
00:13:02,558 --> 00:13:04,401
[casey_]: million of a
313
00:13:04,407 --> 00:13:04,711
[blake_choisnet]: trouble

00:13:04,441 --> 00:13:07,066
[casey_]: sudden you're asked is yeah you're you're
you're
315
00:13:07,134 --> 00:13:07,257
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
316
00:13:07,346 --> 00:13:13,075
[casey_]: you're searching for something more than really
wanted um so with that being said geographically
317
00:13:13,116 --> 00:13:14,898
[casey_]: speaking are you pretty much everything in
texas
318
00:13:15,924 --> 00:13:16,525
[blake_choisnet]: yeah i focused on
319
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:16,786
[casey_]: yeah
320
00:13:16,625 --> 00:13:18,388
[blake_choisnet]: aboleen texas i've got
321
00:13:18,211 --> 00:13:18,494
[casey_]: okay
322
00:13:18,749 --> 00:13:22,695
[blake_choisnet]: a few year in tyler texas just
because when i moved here my wife bought
323
00:13:22,715 --> 00:13:28,064
[blake_choisnet]: this house i used a conventional loan
to house hack house until we moved into
324
00:13:28,104 --> 00:13:32,892
[blake_choisnet]: this one so we've got those two
and then our our lake house will be
325
00:13:32,952 --> 00:13:35,857
[blake_choisnet]: on a lake here about twenty five
minutes away reasonable
326
00:13:35,500 --> 00:13:35,662
[casey_]: sure
327
00:13:35,937 --> 00:13:41,246
[blake_choisnet]: price point nice lake it hasn't quite
hit you know the expand and of the
328
00:13:41,386 --> 00:13:45,153
[blake_choisnet]: dallas demand hasn't quite hit this point
yet we're about two hours east of dallas
329
00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:45,952
[casey_]: okay
330
00:13:45,934 --> 00:13:50,902
[blake_choisnet]: um but yeah everything else is in
tyler but my you know my my approach
331
00:13:51,083 --> 00:13:56,592
[blake_choisnet]: is i'm interested to hear what what
yours is but mine is focused on one
332
00:13:56,652 --> 00:14:00,899
[blake_choisnet]: market and create a team that's so
seamless that i can move really quickly
333
00:14:01,530 --> 00:14:01,653
[casey_]: yeah
334
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,348
[blake_choisnet]: instead of trying and you get some
it was a scale right property management once
335
00:14:05,368 --> 00:14:08,195
[blake_choisnet]: you got multiple doors you dropped from
ten to nine al the way you know
336
00:14:08,396 --> 00:14:08,636
[blake_choisnet]: we're at
337
00:14:08,970 --> 00:14:09,233
[casey_]: yeah
338
00:14:08,977 --> 00:14:09,719
[blake_choisnet]: six i think right now
339
00:14:10,250 --> 00:14:10,613
[casey_]: per cent
340
00:14:10,501 --> 00:14:10,982
[blake_choisnet]: six percent
341
00:14:10,714 --> 00:14:11,731
[casey_]: yeah yep
342
00:14:11,834 --> 00:14:18,355
[blake_choisnet]: yeah so i like to streamline within
a single market instead of you know just
343
00:14:18,435 --> 00:14:23,383
[blake_choisnet]: finding good deals in disport markets like
one in huntsville one in cleveland you know
344
00:14:23,660 --> 00:14:30,401
[casey_]: yeah well the whole thing is and
a lot of people yeah so i'm gonna
345
00:14:30,581 --> 00:14:36,288
[casey_]: so where we where we live here
in a little town called hopkinsville kentucky um
346
00:14:37,049 --> 00:14:40,738
[casey_]: you can a house for like twenty
five grand right
347
00:14:40,860 --> 00:14:41,434
[blake_choisnet]: hm
348
00:14:41,490 --> 00:14:43,753
[casey_]: sounds wonderful sounds awesome like
349
00:14:44,034 --> 00:14:44,944
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
350
00:14:44,054 --> 00:14:46,178
[casey_]: who wouldn't want to buy a house
for twenty five grand you mean to tell
351
00:14:46,218 --> 00:14:49,743
[casey_]: me this house rents for five ninety
five and it's twenty five grand well the
352
00:14:49,804 --> 00:14:54,011
[casey_]: problem is and i had to work
through this myself when a younger in my
353
00:14:54,071 --> 00:15:00,682
[casey_]: younger days i was i'm ambitious now
i was far more ambitious than for work
354
00:15:01,223 --> 00:15:04,648
[casey_]: that was not really scalable i didn't
know
355
00:15:04,571 --> 00:15:05,104
[blake_choisnet]: hm
356
00:15:04,768 --> 00:15:10,995
[casey_]: better so you when you really start
looking at those things and you're like oh
357
00:15:11,055 --> 00:15:14,561
[casey_]: my gosh twenty five thousand as for
the house sounds great but you also have
358
00:15:15,623 --> 00:15:19,870
[casey_]: thirty percent thirty five percent overhead expenses
because it needs so many repairs or it
359
00:15:19,930 --> 00:15:23,474
[casey_]: needs this or it needs that or
it's built right on the ground and now
360
00:15:23,494 --> 00:15:27,618
[casey_]: you're dealing with floor rock and you're
dealing with some stuff that just doesn't really
361
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,623
[casey_]: scale out the way you want it
and
362
00:15:30,717 --> 00:15:31,264
[blake_choisnet]: hm
363
00:15:30,723 --> 00:15:37,274
[casey_]: so you're exactly right you have for
but somebody comes here from chicago or somebody
364
00:15:37,314 --> 00:15:41,422
[casey_]: comes here from atlanta they think oh
my gosh twenty five grand for serious
365
00:15:41,241 --> 00:15:42,034
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
366
00:15:42,065 --> 00:15:47,196
[casey_]: and so you have to know what's
a good deal and what's not and in
367
00:15:47,356 --> 00:15:51,543
[casey_]: order to do that in my opinion
you have to know the market you have
368
00:15:51,583 --> 00:15:56,431
[casey_]: to know the market if know the
demographics you have to know dian incomes you
369
00:15:56,471 --> 00:16:01,079
[casey_]: have to know the stuff that's going
on there and then you have to actually
370
00:16:01,119 --> 00:16:02,842
[casey_]: get out and talk to the people
like
371
00:16:03,004 --> 00:16:04,054
[blake_choisnet]: my
372
00:16:03,242 --> 00:16:06,047
[casey_]: you know all of that stuff and
it's all that's all stuff by the book
373
00:16:06,147 --> 00:16:11,517
[casey_]: but exactly what you're saying you focus
in hyper focus on one area those deals
374
00:16:11,617 --> 00:16:15,945
[casey_]: will start happen no matter what you
do they'll start to come
375
00:16:15,697 --> 00:16:16,204
[blake_choisnet]: hm
376
00:16:16,345 --> 00:16:21,274
[casey_]: they'll start to happen then if you
can figure out a way to scale into
377
00:16:21,374 --> 00:16:26,106
[casey_]: multi family in that market now where's
your eight plexite is it an apbolin too

[casey_]: yeah
415
00:17:31,199 --> 00:17:34,725
[blake_choisnet]: well i got this other this other
property or this other property that i managed
416
00:17:35,326 --> 00:17:39,052
[blake_choisnet]: and the owner owns out right and
it just needs so much work and they
417
00:17:39,112 --> 00:17:43,678
[blake_choisnet]: had contractors in and then the contractors
you know skipped out on them and so
418
00:17:43,759 --> 00:17:48,044
[blake_choisnet]: it's all vacant except for one you
know one is still being rented you know
419
00:17:48,125 --> 00:17:49,707
[blake_choisnet]: she just wants to get rid of
it and
420
00:17:49,632 --> 00:17:49,776
[casey_]: yeah
421
00:17:49,747 --> 00:17:54,475
[blake_choisnet]: so we negotiated back and forth and
i was like perfect you know de do
422
00:17:54,535 --> 00:17:58,021
[blake_choisnet]: this financing i've actually got a with
the volatility of the rates and negotiated a
423
00:17:58,902 --> 00:18:02,408
[blake_choisnet]: a twelve month tension on our term
so if we get to the end of
424
00:18:02,448 --> 00:18:05,634
[blake_choisnet]: twelve months and rates aren't really where
i want it i can leave it at
425
00:18:05,674 --> 00:18:09,220
[blake_choisnet]: three per cent i just pay another
ten grand down on principle
426
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:09,921
[casey_]: yeah
427
00:18:10,321 --> 00:18:11,143
[blake_choisnet]: and it extends
428
00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:11,170
[casey_]: and
429
00:18:11,163 --> 00:18:11,383
[blake_choisnet]: another
430
00:18:11,230 --> 00:18:11,570
[casey_]: you can't
431
00:18:11,423 --> 00:18:11,483
[blake_choisnet]: te
432
00:18:11,611 --> 00:18:11,731
[casey_]: beat
433
00:18:11,645 --> 00:18:11,887
[blake_choisnet]: mons
434
00:18:11,791 --> 00:18:14,155
[casey_]: that you your risk free because you're
going to make twenty four
435
00:18:14,164 --> 00:18:14,287
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
436
00:18:14,215 --> 00:18:15,297
[casey_]: hundred a month between
437
00:18:15,754 --> 00:18:15,876
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
438
00:18:16,398 --> 00:18:19,484
[casey_]: but but you're gonna be out there
you would be out the repairs if if
439
00:18:19,544 --> 00:18:19,884
[casey_]: something
440
00:18:19,754 --> 00:18:19,896
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
441
00:18:20,385 --> 00:18:23,010
[casey_]: exploded and didn't work i here's a
little risk there don't get me wrong
442
00:18:23,379 --> 00:18:23,914
[blake_choisnet]: hm
443
00:18:23,651 --> 00:18:27,782
[casey_]: but but i feel like those risks
are fairly mitigated when it comes time to
444
00:18:28,283 --> 00:18:28,384
[casey_]: when
445
00:18:28,414 --> 00:18:28,594
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
446
00:18:28,424 --> 00:18:29,667
[casey_]: the river meets the road and you're
447
00:18:29,596 --> 00:18:29,716
[blake_choisnet]: well
448
00:18:29,707 --> 00:18:29,868
[casey_]: like
449
00:18:29,756 --> 00:18:33,001
[blake_choisnet]: and one of the things that i
love about you know when i talk about
450
00:18:33,101 --> 00:18:36,227
[blake_choisnet]: risk and i hear people say like
oh that's too risky one of things i
451
00:18:36,327 --> 00:18:41,195
[blake_choisnet]: love about real estate is you can
actually quantify your risk risks function of two
452
00:18:41,275 --> 00:18:45,242
[blake_choisnet]: things the likelihood it goes wrong and
the cost of it going wrong right so
453
00:18:45,622 --> 00:18:48,587
[blake_choisnet]: it's just like hopping on an airplane
you know that if it goes wrong you're
454
00:18:48,607 --> 00:18:48,948
[blake_choisnet]: screwed
455
00:18:49,431 --> 00:18:49,614
[casey_]: that's
456
00:18:49,549 --> 00:18:49,889
[blake_choisnet]: it's not
457
00:18:49,757 --> 00:18:49,981
[casey_]: right
458
00:18:49,949 --> 00:18:52,735
[blake_choisnet]: going well for you you know but
the likelihood of it going wrong you know
459
00:18:52,835 --> 00:18:56,149
[blake_choisnet]: why are people still got planes like
hods like one and eleven million or some
460
00:18:56,229 --> 00:18:56,511
[blake_choisnet]: like that
461
00:18:56,671 --> 00:18:58,277
[casey_]: risk v reward
462
00:18:58,714 --> 00:19:02,646
[blake_choisnet]: yeah yeah so i'm saying well what's
the likelihood that what is it going to
463
00:19:02,706 --> 00:19:04,452
[blake_choisnet]: cost if it really really goes wrong
464
00:19:04,810 --> 00:19:04,932
[casey_]: yep
465
00:19:05,246 --> 00:19:06,458
[blake_choisnet]: and then i can put a number
that
466
00:19:06,950 --> 00:19:07,092
[casey_]: yep
467
00:19:07,404 --> 00:19:10,413
[blake_choisnet]: and then i can i can put
a number o other things as well and
468
00:19:10,433 --> 00:19:13,142
[blake_choisnet]: then i say is it worth my
downside for the potential of my upside
469
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,267
[casey_]: to try quantifiable risk and
470
00:19:17,364 --> 00:19:17,506
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
471
00:19:17,768 --> 00:19:23,078
[casey_]: quatifiable risk that's a lot of that's
a lot of times what the human mind
472
00:19:23,910 --> 00:19:28,577
[casey_]: as far as like the majority of
people i have a hard time like everything
473
00:19:28,718 --> 00:19:31,462
[casey_]: i look at i quantify in some
former
474
00:19:31,167 --> 00:19:31,714
[blake_choisnet]: hm
475
00:19:31,562 --> 00:19:38,294
[casey_]: fashion you know there's like even and
that's what always tell people about when we're
476
00:19:38,374 --> 00:19:43,542
[casey_]: going through real estate contracts like non
purchase contracts or sale contracts things like that
477
00:19:43,582 --> 00:19:47,529
[casey_]: because i'm a real estate agent by
trade real estate sales is my full background
478
00:19:47,569 --> 00:19:49,012
[casey_]: based my whole career
479
00:19:48,883 --> 00:19:48,904
[blake_choisnet]: m
480
00:19:49,152 --> 00:19:52,738
[casey_]: centered around that and always tell people
listen we're going to see some terms that
481
00:19:52,778 --> 00:19:56,885
[casey_]: i can't necessarily quantify into what you're
going to be looking at
482
00:19:56,825 --> 00:19:57,007
[blake_choisnet]: right
483
00:19:56,965 --> 00:20:00,434
[casey_]: in dollars but you have to understand
that some of these terms
484
00:20:00,934 --> 00:20:01,624
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
485
00:20:01,390 --> 00:20:05,817
[casey_]: could you need to somehow figure out
how to how to match these terms with
486
00:20:05,877 --> 00:20:06,859
[casey_]: dollars if you will
487
00:20:07,002 --> 00:20:07,714
[blake_choisnet]: hm
488
00:20:08,101 --> 00:20:10,705
[casey_]: to make it less risky for you
and make it more
489
00:20:10,645 --> 00:20:10,807
[blake_choisnet]: right
490
00:20:10,765 --> 00:20:15,273
[casey_]: rewarding for you at the same time
so it's risky rewarded mine my opinion but
491
00:20:15,734 --> 00:20:15,876
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
492
00:20:15,754 --> 00:20:19,319
[casey_]: that's what a lot of people look
at but but you're right is the potential
493
00:20:19,420 --> 00:20:26,997
[casey_]: loss of what you put in greater
like this is what the potential reward is
494
00:20:27,157 --> 00:20:27,700
[casey_]: what is
495
00:20:27,644 --> 00:20:27,788
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
496
00:20:28,744 --> 00:20:28,925
[casey_]: how do
497
00:20:28,884 --> 00:20:28,984
[blake_choisnet]: can
498
00:20:28,985 --> 00:20:29,126
[casey_]: those
499
00:20:29,024 --> 00:20:29,124
[blake_choisnet]: you
500
00:20:29,186 --> 00:20:29,467
[casey_]: match
501
00:20:29,205 --> 00:20:32,072
[blake_choisnet]: can you stomach the loss for the
potential of maybe the reward eh
502
00:20:32,380 --> 00:20:32,742
[casey_]: correct
503
00:20:32,874 --> 00:20:33,016
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
504
00:20:33,145 --> 00:20:33,689
[casey_]: correct and
505
00:20:33,694 --> 00:20:34,034
[blake_choisnet]: and i think
506
00:20:34,253 --> 00:20:34,696
[casey_]: generally
507
00:20:34,515 --> 00:20:37,260
[blake_choisnet]: a lot of times when i talk
to people that are highly analytical i'm thinking
508
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:42,849
[blake_choisnet]: like engineering times my background and engineering
or like doctors people that are highly analytical
509
00:20:42,929 --> 00:20:47,497
[blake_choisnet]: maybe some finance individuals they say this
struggle with analysis paralysis right
510
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:47,884
[casey_]: that's right
511
00:20:47,777 --> 00:20:51,563
[blake_choisnet]: they struggle with analysis paralysis which is
really like the analytical person's way of saying
512
00:20:51,604 --> 00:20:52,565
[blake_choisnet]: i'm scared but
513
00:20:52,511 --> 00:20:52,634
[casey_]: yep
514
00:20:52,605 --> 00:20:54,849
[blake_choisnet]: it makes it makes us feel a
little bit better right
515
00:20:55,250 --> 00:20:55,392
[casey_]: yep
516
00:20:55,690 --> 00:20:59,956
[blake_choisnet]: but really they just they haven't figured
out the skill of putting numbers to things
517
00:21:00,350 --> 00:21:00,491
[casey_]: that's
518
00:21:00,437 --> 00:21:00,617
[blake_choisnet]: doesn't
519
00:21:00,552 --> 00:21:00,714
[casey_]: right
520
00:21:00,657 --> 00:21:04,982
[blake_choisnet]: have to be exact just you know
it's about you know fifty thousand dollars that's
521
00:21:05,030 --> 00:21:05,150
[casey_]: well
522
00:21:05,082 --> 00:21:05,683
[blake_choisnet]: about what it
523
00:21:06,412 --> 00:21:09,397
[casey_]: yeah they're used to looking at defined
number
524
00:21:09,245 --> 00:21:09,429
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
525
00:21:09,718 --> 00:21:15,187
[casey_]: numbers that actually have a meaning behind
them there's something quatifiable on the other side
526
00:21:15,267 --> 00:21:17,591
[casey_]: of the physical number and sometimes
527
00:21:17,287 --> 00:21:17,854
[blake_choisnet]: hm
528
00:21:17,631 --> 00:21:21,377
[casey_]: when we're looking at this stuff that's
not you're not quantifying what the market you
529
00:21:21,477 --> 00:21:22,198
[casey_]: can't quantify
530
00:21:21,797 --> 00:21:22,002
[blake_choisnet]: right
531
00:21:22,299 --> 00:21:27,547
[casey_]: what the market might be in eight
months ten months twelve months twenty four months
532
00:21:27,295 --> 00:21:27,497
[blake_choisnet]: right
533
00:21:27,768 --> 00:21:32,376
[casey_]: five years you can't wantify that you
can make a projection and say yea i
534
00:21:32,596 --> 00:21:37,365
[casey_]: think we're going to be you know
our max negative is here and max positive
535
00:21:37,406 --> 00:21:37,967
[casey_]: is here but
536
00:21:38,014 --> 00:21:38,034
[blake_choisnet]: m
537
00:21:38,227 --> 00:21:41,054
[casey_]: our ultra max negative could be way
the hell down there too and
538
00:21:41,485 --> 00:21:41,629
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
539
00:21:41,675 --> 00:21:42,777
[casey_]: and then you're looking at so
540
00:21:42,835 --> 00:21:42,895
[blake_choisnet]: and
541
00:21:42,837 --> 00:21:43,038
[casey_]: i know
542
00:21:42,956 --> 00:21:43,178
[blake_choisnet]: people
543
00:21:44,310 --> 00:21:44,351
[casey_]: go
544
00:21:44,374 --> 00:21:44,514
[blake_choisnet]: people
545
00:21:44,391 --> 00:21:44,533
[casey_]: ahead
546
00:21:44,574 --> 00:21:47,217
[blake_choisnet]: get really scared of asking what if
questions you know what if
547
00:21:47,294 --> 00:21:47,435
[casey_]: right
548
00:21:47,297 --> 00:21:51,682
[blake_choisnet]: this happens what if that happens if
they would just answer that question it makes
549
00:21:51,702 --> 00:21:52,743
[blake_choisnet]: their lives so much easier
550
00:21:53,481 --> 00:21:53,602
[casey_]: yep
551
00:21:53,824 --> 00:21:57,432
[blake_choisnet]: like you say well what if your
hot water heater breaks or the roof goes
552
00:21:57,492 --> 00:22:00,028
[blake_choisnet]: out how much is that going to
cost perfect
553
00:21:59,761 --> 00:21:59,885
[casey_]: yep
554
00:22:00,886 --> 00:22:03,786
[blake_choisnet]: now you got an answer to it
you're out you know what is at eighty
555
00:22:03,826 --> 00:22:08,031
[blake_choisnet]: five hundred box whatever it might be
then can you stomach the deal great perfect
556
00:22:09,004 --> 00:22:09,326
[blake_choisnet]: if you just
557
00:22:09,329 --> 00:22:09,491
[casey_]: that
558
00:22:09,346 --> 00:22:12,121
[blake_choisnet]: put a number to it it doesn't
loom as large in your mind
559
00:22:12,700 --> 00:22:16,526
[casey_]: yeah and that's one of the one
of the reasons everybody has taken a look
560
00:22:16,567 --> 00:22:18,790
[casey_]: at you know for instance farm ground
farm
561
00:22:18,796 --> 00:22:18,817
[blake_choisnet]: m
562
00:22:18,850 --> 00:22:26,182
[casey_]: ground tillable farm ground to grow wheat
corn soil beans on has exponentially gone up
563
00:22:26,342 --> 00:22:29,927
[casey_]: like like it's gone up a thousand
in our area it's gone up a thousand
564
00:22:29,967 --> 00:22:31,249
[casey_]: dollars an acre per year
565
00:22:32,125 --> 00:22:32,287
[blake_choisnet]: wow
566
00:22:32,350 --> 00:22:36,016
[casey_]: since say like o seven right or
well
567
00:22:35,794 --> 00:22:36,062
[blake_choisnet]: oh
568
00:22:36,116 --> 00:22:39,622
[casey_]: i say since o eight i'm just
using his round fire's probably more like it
569
00:22:39,682 --> 00:22:42,346
[casey_]: could be probably even more like eight
hundred an acre so
570
00:22:42,413 --> 00:22:43,144
[blake_choisnet]: hm
571
00:22:43,288 --> 00:22:43,448
[casey_]: when
572
00:22:43,405 --> 00:22:43,648
[blake_choisnet]: okay
573
00:22:43,508 --> 00:22:48,482
[casey_]: you look at that and you're like
okay these guys were jumping millions into like
574
00:22:48,522 --> 00:22:52,749
[casey_]: they were going out and buying millions
in farm ground what was what was the
575
00:22:52,869 --> 00:22:54,812
[casey_]: risk really what this
576
00:22:54,761 --> 00:22:55,294
[blake_choisnet]: hm
577
00:22:54,893 --> 00:23:00,364
[casey_]: is this is like the basis for
my risk analysis what was the risk there
578
00:23:00,404 --> 00:23:02,009
[casey_]: really wasn't any right
579
00:23:02,147 --> 00:23:02,734
[blake_choisnet]: hm
580
00:23:02,150 --> 00:23:06,869
[casey_]: and i'm going to tell you why
like because the bottom line is as the
581
00:23:06,930 --> 00:23:09,500
[casey_]: world has to eat there's
582
00:23:09,324 --> 00:23:09,466
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
583
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,844
[casey_]: no way around it's one of the
it's one of the main necessities of life
584
00:23:14,124 --> 00:23:16,646
[casey_]: right so the main
585
00:23:16,477 --> 00:23:17,106
[blake_choisnet]: food and shelter
586
00:23:17,787 --> 00:23:25,528
[casey_]: correct food and shelter water i guess
water food and shelter and the bottom line
587
00:23:25,668 --> 00:23:32,981
[casey_]: is is we've got a set number
of in other words we've got land is
588
00:23:33,081 --> 00:23:35,326
[casey_]: bit coin for that matter right it's
a set
589
00:23:35,217 --> 00:23:35,764
[blake_choisnet]: hm
590
00:23:35,426 --> 00:23:41,331
[casey_]: number of acres with an increasing capacity
of use
591
00:23:42,397 --> 00:23:42,964
[blake_choisnet]: hm
592
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:48,665
[casey_]: because the population is growing every year
so the same so the same number of
593
00:23:48,705 --> 00:23:52,875
[casey_]: farm makers are trying to feed a
growing population which way is it going to
594
00:23:52,935 --> 00:23:54,018
[casey_]: go no risk
595
00:23:53,727 --> 00:23:53,891
[blake_choisnet]: right
596
00:23:55,170 --> 00:23:55,652
[casey_]: you might have
597
00:23:55,546 --> 00:23:55,710
[blake_choisnet]: right
598
00:23:55,692 --> 00:23:59,263
[casey_]: some short term risk but in other
words you don't have any risk at all
599
00:23:59,324 --> 00:23:59,524
[blake_choisnet]: right
600
00:23:59,865 --> 00:23:59,945
[casey_]: and
601
00:24:00,006 --> 00:24:00,186
[blake_choisnet]: you're
602
00:24:00,025 --> 00:24:00,166
[casey_]: it's
603
00:24:00,227 --> 00:24:00,307
[blake_choisnet]: you
604
00:24:00,246 --> 00:24:00,366
[casey_]: the
605
00:24:00,347 --> 00:24:00,467
[blake_choisnet]: know
606
00:24:00,447 --> 00:24:00,708
[casey_]: same
607
00:24:00,608 --> 00:24:05,382
[blake_choisnet]: buying farmland like that and even property
you're essentially betting on the american economy
608
00:24:06,030 --> 00:24:06,133
[casey_]: yep
609
00:24:06,825 --> 00:24:10,291
[blake_choisnet]: and you know if you have the
doomsday or they're like well what if you
610
00:24:10,351 --> 00:24:14,519
[blake_choisnet]: know everything implodes and well your your
stocks are gone too like
611
00:24:15,241 --> 00:24:15,422
[casey_]: well
612
00:24:15,380 --> 00:24:15,540
[blake_choisnet]: we're
613
00:24:15,462 --> 00:24:15,682
[casey_]: in my
614
00:24:15,621 --> 00:24:15,781
[blake_choisnet]: all
615
00:24:15,763 --> 00:24:16,164
[casey_]: opinion
616
00:24:15,841 --> 00:24:16,041
[blake_choisnet]: done
617
00:24:16,344 --> 00:24:20,838
[casey_]: even root it further you're betting on
the reproductive capabilities of the human population
618
00:24:22,004 --> 00:24:23,997
[blake_choisnet]: which historically would be in your favor
619
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,002
[casey_]: i mean i would yes
620
00:24:26,134 --> 00:24:26,376
[blake_choisnet]: uh
621
00:24:26,382 --> 00:24:27,624
[casey_]: absolutely i mean
622
00:24:28,073 --> 00:24:28,114
[blake_choisnet]: uh
623
00:24:28,165 --> 00:24:28,746
[casey_]: absolutely
624
00:24:28,174 --> 00:24:28,834
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
625
00:24:28,867 --> 00:24:31,651
[casey_]: i think there was only one year
where it was like less than four or
626
00:24:31,691 --> 00:24:33,554
[casey_]: five percent growth and that was back
627
00:24:33,444 --> 00:24:33,587
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
628
00:24:33,614 --> 00:24:40,005
[casey_]: in nineteen o three or something and
you know that's why i say man when
629
00:24:40,045 --> 00:24:47,758
[casey_]: you start picking this stuff and you
start looking at your analysis for rental properties
630
00:24:47,818 --> 00:24:53,214
[casey_]: and you start trying to put some
type of quatification on your risk you have
631
00:24:53,295 --> 00:24:58,346
[casey_]: to look at all types of different
factors farmland just is the for
632
00:24:58,324 --> 00:24:58,344
[blake_choisnet]: m
633
00:24:58,446 --> 00:25:03,113
[casey_]: me that's the basis that's like that's
me saying okay this is the basis of
634
00:25:03,234 --> 00:25:05,397
[casey_]: risk verse investment now everything else
635
00:25:05,287 --> 00:25:05,854
[blake_choisnet]: hm
636
00:25:05,497 --> 00:25:08,189
[casey_]: real estate wise goes from here in
637
00:25:08,190 --> 00:25:08,764
[blake_choisnet]: hm
638
00:25:08,773 --> 00:25:09,075
[casey_]: risk
639
00:25:10,174 --> 00:25:13,298
[blake_choisnet]: yeah i read something the other day
that i want to say it was bill
640
00:25:13,418 --> 00:25:16,623
[blake_choisnet]: gates bill gates owns the most farm
land
641
00:25:17,422 --> 00:25:17,784
[casey_]: i've seen
642
00:25:17,684 --> 00:25:18,949
[blake_choisnet]: united states of anybody
643
00:25:19,460 --> 00:25:20,345
[casey_]: yep hey
644
00:25:20,376 --> 00:25:21,181
[blake_choisnet]: he's not an idiot
645
00:25:21,650 --> 00:25:24,735
[casey_]: and i'll tell you i'll tell you
the other thing since we're on the farm
646
00:25:24,795 --> 00:25:28,401
[casey_]: ground talk this kind of my like
this is kind of like my world because
647
00:25:28,441 --> 00:25:35,251
[casey_]: i've got an agricultural economics degree coupled
with coupled with this whatever real estate knowledge
648
00:25:35,351 --> 00:25:39,115
[casey_]: that i have in my brain that
seems to always be rattling around up there
649
00:25:39,856 --> 00:25:45,197
[casey_]: um land and gold trail one another
650
00:25:45,964 --> 00:25:46,185
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
651
00:25:46,941 --> 00:25:49,606
[casey_]: um but when you've got a lot
of money what the hell do you do
652
00:25:49,646 --> 00:25:52,310
[casey_]: with the money right you can't you
don't put in i mean you put in
653
00:25:52,330 --> 00:25:56,016
[casey_]: the bank obviously but how much of
that bank how much of that is hedged
654
00:25:56,177 --> 00:26:00,203
[casey_]: right to five hundred thousand i think
something like that they're only guaranteeing you the
655
00:26:00,264 --> 00:26:05,332
[casey_]: first five hundred thousand is protected um
and then from there what do you buy
656
00:26:05,472 --> 00:26:07,696
[casey_]: all right well you have goal what
the hell do you do the truck load
657
00:26:07,736 --> 00:26:11,663
[casey_]: of gold if you've got twenty five
million dollars you've got in cash what do
658
00:26:11,703 --> 00:26:13,025
[casey_]: you do you buy real
659
00:26:13,027 --> 00:26:13,534
[blake_choisnet]: hm
660
00:26:13,065 --> 00:26:20,958
[casey_]: estate and if you want the lowest
risk most guaranteed return because farmland is going
661
00:26:20,998 --> 00:26:23,703
[casey_]: to rent matter what it's going to
rent
662
00:26:23,893 --> 00:26:23,914
[blake_choisnet]: m
663
00:26:23,983 --> 00:26:24,424
[casey_]: to somebody
664
00:26:24,994 --> 00:26:25,014
[blake_choisnet]: m
665
00:26:25,366 --> 00:26:27,770
[casey_]: um basically i mean the risk is
all gone
666
00:26:28,234 --> 00:26:28,455
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
667
00:26:28,492 --> 00:26:29,574
[casey_]: there so landing gold
668
00:26:30,094 --> 00:26:30,904
[blake_choisnet]: oh
669
00:26:30,135 --> 00:26:31,798
[casey_]: and land is your
670
00:26:31,894 --> 00:26:32,157
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
671
00:26:31,898 --> 00:26:34,503
[casey_]: main pick for me anyway
672
00:26:34,455 --> 00:26:39,761
[blake_choisnet]: yeah yeah it's it's fixed it's not
growing there's not more of it it's exactly
673
00:26:39,801 --> 00:26:41,463
[blake_choisnet]: what we've got now is what we're
going to have later
674
00:26:42,991 --> 00:26:43,492
[casey_]: i used to call my
675
00:26:43,459 --> 00:26:43,479
[blake_choisnet]: i
676
00:26:43,532 --> 00:26:45,054
[casey_]: dad crazy because he was always say
land
677
00:26:44,973 --> 00:26:44,993
[blake_choisnet]: h
678
00:26:45,094 --> 00:26:45,735
[casey_]: is the only thing they're
679
00:26:45,703 --> 00:26:45,724
[blake_choisnet]: m
680
00:26:45,775 --> 00:26:47,398
[casey_]: not making more of and i was
like you
681
00:26:47,366 --> 00:26:47,407
[blake_choisnet]: he
682
00:26:47,458 --> 00:26:50,543
[casey_]: know not that that's a cry i
got the idea but i'm like that there's
683
00:26:50,583 --> 00:26:52,507
[casey_]: a lot of damn land in kansas
that ain't nobody
684
00:26:52,406 --> 00:26:52,954
[blake_choisnet]: hm
685
00:26:52,587 --> 00:26:53,629
[casey_]: livin on and it nobody
686
00:26:53,614 --> 00:26:53,776
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
687
00:26:53,669 --> 00:26:57,275
[casey_]: doing that with but when it comes
when you really start analyzing it and saying
688
00:26:57,315 --> 00:27:01,301
[casey_]: okay how much productive land is there
like land
689
00:27:01,153 --> 00:27:01,174
[blake_choisnet]: m
690
00:27:01,321 --> 00:27:06,717
[casey_]: you can actually do something with that
is very very very very limited resource um
691
00:27:06,755 --> 00:27:06,835
[blake_choisnet]: and
692
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:06,981
[casey_]: and
693
00:27:06,895 --> 00:27:09,700
[blake_choisnet]: i think it's shrinking you know like
i grew up in a small town in
694
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,886
[blake_choisnet]: oklahoma across the street from us used
to be a big old field big old
695
00:27:13,967 --> 00:27:14,447
[blake_choisnet]: wheat field
696
00:27:14,750 --> 00:27:14,873
[casey_]: yep
697
00:27:15,149 --> 00:27:18,453
[blake_choisnet]: and then on the other side of
that was a big old soiling field right
698
00:27:18,894 --> 00:27:21,863
[blake_choisnet]: at are those now one is a
neighborhood development and the other one's
699
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:22,143
[casey_]: yes
700
00:27:21,903 --> 00:27:24,271
[blake_choisnet]: like a wall mart lows and a
research you
701
00:27:24,210 --> 00:27:24,290
[casey_]: so
702
00:27:24,311 --> 00:27:24,411
[blake_choisnet]: know
703
00:27:24,370 --> 00:27:32,358
[casey_]: there you go and and you know
there's there's also this thought call me crazy
704
00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:34,632
[casey_]: cause i am sometimes crazy
705
00:27:34,804 --> 00:27:35,392
[blake_choisnet]: uh
706
00:27:35,213 --> 00:27:36,295
[casey_]: but if there
707
00:27:36,203 --> 00:27:36,244
[blake_choisnet]: uh
708
00:27:36,375 --> 00:27:41,945
[casey_]: is a chance if there is a
chance that the environmentalist have gotten at least
709
00:27:42,225 --> 00:27:46,810
[casey_]: something correct about global warming and i'm
not
710
00:27:46,864 --> 00:27:46,884
[blake_choisnet]: m
711
00:27:46,870 --> 00:27:49,294
[casey_]: saying it is or is and i'm
not getting into a political argument with anybody
712
00:27:49,454 --> 00:27:53,561
[casey_]: i'm not even going to discuss politics
but what i'm saying is if there is
713
00:27:53,781 --> 00:27:59,834
[casey_]: that chance how much are we going
to lose because is and i'll you i
714
00:27:59,974 --> 00:28:11,241
[casey_]: say this because florida florida alone has
more cattle per acre texas that's a fact
715
00:28:12,045 --> 00:28:12,186
[blake_choisnet]: wow
716
00:28:12,464 --> 00:28:12,865
[casey_]: um
717
00:28:13,344 --> 00:28:13,874
[blake_choisnet]: it's impressive
718
00:28:13,646 --> 00:28:21,374
[casey_]: florida has more cattle per acre than
texas and so what i'm getting at is
719
00:28:21,936 --> 00:28:27,587
[casey_]: is sea levels rise farmland goes in
people are moving people have to move from
720
00:28:27,667 --> 00:28:33,257
[casey_]: their out how much of that resource
you're right at shrinking at a certain percentage
721
00:28:33,358 --> 00:28:38,883
[casey_]: now but if for some reason that's
why it's it's worth it's not worth having
722
00:28:38,923 --> 00:28:42,567
[casey_]: the discussion from a political standpoint of
saying oh my god these people are more
723
00:28:42,727 --> 00:28:44,108
[casey_]: on ice caps aren't
724
00:28:44,107 --> 00:28:44,674
[blake_choisnet]: hm
725
00:28:44,148 --> 00:28:46,580
[casey_]: melting it's what if okay
726
00:28:46,587 --> 00:28:47,194
[blake_choisnet]: hm
727
00:28:47,381 --> 00:28:51,348
[casey_]: i'm gonna there in like ndscussed'm going
step back i'm going to judge my risk
728
00:28:51,989 --> 00:28:55,755
[casey_]: and i'm going to say what if
they are right what if there's a fifty
729
00:28:55,835 --> 00:28:57,218
[casey_]: one percent chance there right and forty
730
00:28:57,239 --> 00:28:57,754
[blake_choisnet]: hm
731
00:28:57,298 --> 00:28:58,340
[casey_]: nine percent chance or not m
732
00:28:59,494 --> 00:29:02,719
[blake_choisnet]: then maybe you should buy some farmland
in canada or you know montana
733
00:29:02,341 --> 00:29:02,744
[casey_]: there you go
734
00:29:02,759 --> 00:29:04,302
[blake_choisnet]: or just buy a bunch of ou
know what i mean like
735
00:29:04,790 --> 00:29:04,911
[casey_]: yeah
736
00:29:04,863 --> 00:29:08,489
[blake_choisnet]: if they're right and you know texas
and louisiana is going to have a hundred
737
00:29:08,549 --> 00:29:12,460
[blake_choisnet]: twenty five degree days like maybe i
should go buy some land in montana or
738
00:29:12,922 --> 00:29:13,204
[blake_choisnet]: idaho
739
00:29:13,211 --> 00:29:13,355
[casey_]: yeah
740
00:29:13,365 --> 00:29:14,088
[blake_choisnet]: or something like that
741
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:15,622
[casey_]: productive productive
742
00:29:15,585 --> 00:29:15,767
[blake_choisnet]: right
743
00:29:15,642 --> 00:29:16,143
[casey_]: that has
744
00:29:16,133 --> 00:29:16,315
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
745
00:29:16,183 --> 00:29:19,849
[casey_]: to be productive and i'll tell you
just just because i know there's there's questions
746
00:29:19,909 --> 00:29:25,198
[casey_]: out there right now but florida's grass
the amount of grass that they have is
747
00:29:25,258 --> 00:29:29,365
[casey_]: what lends them to be well to
to to have more cattle per acre than
748
00:29:29,405 --> 00:29:33,832
[casey_]: texas now that was also a staff
that was probably ten years ago but i
749
00:29:33,952 --> 00:29:37,057
[casey_]: assume it's probably probably still much the
same because there hasn't been a lot but
750
00:29:37,498 --> 00:29:41,124
[casey_]: anyway so blake well listen man i
want to thank you for coming on today
751
00:29:41,164 --> 00:29:45,111
[casey_]: has been a kind of an interesting
discussion kind of you never know the way
752
00:29:45,171 --> 00:29:47,034
[casey_]: these things may take turns and in
and out
753
00:29:46,914 --> 00:29:47,056
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
754
00:29:47,735 --> 00:29:51,481
[casey_]: and so on i guess but i'd
like to kind of in the episode that'd
755
00:29:51,542 --> 00:29:54,547
[casey_]: like to answer i'd like to ask
you a couple of questions and the first
756
00:29:54,515 --> 00:29:54,638
[blake_choisnet]: sure
757
00:29:54,607 --> 00:29:58,553
[casey_]: of those is what is the best
book that you've recently read or currently reading
758
00:29:58,573 --> 00:30:03,043
[casey_]: and i can tell you're just such
an analytical guy like everything i assume we're
759
00:30:03,063 --> 00:30:06,623
[casey_]: probably going to get i want i'm

[casey_]: that
764
00:30:11,971 --> 00:30:12,032
[blake_choisnet]: of
765
00:30:12,051 --> 00:30:12,191
[casey_]: first
766
00:30:12,092 --> 00:30:12,412
[blake_choisnet]: personal
767
00:30:12,271 --> 00:30:12,592
[casey_]: time we've
768
00:30:12,452 --> 00:30:12,813
[blake_choisnet]: finance
769
00:30:12,652 --> 00:30:14,996
[casey_]: ever heard that first time we've ever
heard that on the show like
770
00:30:15,154 --> 00:30:15,314
[blake_choisnet]: yeah
771
00:30:15,537 --> 00:30:16,138
[casey_]: gratulations
772
00:30:16,036 --> 00:30:19,464
[blake_choisnet]: so that that's my favorite one but
i think the one that i was telling
773
00:30:19,504 --> 00:30:22,350
[blake_choisnet]: some one the other day that a
book that changed my life is living forward
774
00:30:22,531 --> 00:30:23,272
[blake_choisnet]: by michael hit
775
00:30:24,201 --> 00:30:24,730
[casey_]: interesting
776
00:30:25,165 --> 00:30:28,911
[blake_choisnet]: it essentially it teaches you how to
make a life plan you know a lot
777
00:30:28,931 --> 00:30:31,435
[blake_choisnet]: of leadership books say you need to
have a life plan but you don't what
778
00:30:31,456 --> 00:30:34,801
[blake_choisnet]: to do that wrong and end up
a clown or you know whatever and so
779
00:30:34,941 --> 00:30:38,668
[blake_choisnet]: the first third of it is the
importance of it the second third is how
780
00:30:38,708 --> 00:30:40,390
[blake_choisnet]: do you actually do it practically
781
00:30:40,378 --> 00:30:40,890
[casey_]: hm
782
00:30:40,430 --> 00:30:44,397
[blake_choisnet]: and tangibly and then the last part
is how do you like execute on it
783
00:30:44,930 --> 00:30:45,074
[casey_]: yep
784
00:30:45,178 --> 00:30:49,345
[blake_choisnet]: and between the second third part they
tell you they say hey within the next
785
00:30:49,385 --> 00:30:54,414
[blake_choisnet]: two weeks car out a full day
eight hours actually build this thing and starting
786
00:30:54,454 --> 00:30:57,539
[blake_choisnet]: to actually think through what i want
my look life to look like that was
787
00:30:57,579 --> 00:31:02,934
[blake_choisnet]: what started my journey as i wanted
something diff you know i want to be
788
00:31:03,215 --> 00:31:08,434
[blake_choisnet]: free with my time and what not
so i still read that pretty consistently and
789
00:31:08,494 --> 00:31:13,591
[blake_choisnet]: would recommend it to to anybody that

851
00:33:40,331 --> 00:33:43,957
[blake_choisnet]: and stuff like that is way more
consumable than it really is here in the
852
00:33:43,997 --> 00:33:47,062
[blake_choisnet]: states but yeah you're walking you're walking

866
00:34:00,421 --> 00:34:04,968
[casey_]: it was just far more than i

[casey_]: know we went to florence and we
went up into the you know up to
868
00:34:08,915 --> 00:34:14,444
[casey_]: to remember what it was up to
the top where you where you overlooked the
869
00:34:14,484 --> 00:34:15,506
[casey_]: city and all that so and
870
00:34:15,494 --> 00:34:15,656

[casey_]: wing on over there some
883
00:34:48,914 --> 00:34:52,398
