KEY QUOTE:

“I would not go invest in property with zero research or not having the right connections or resources, that would not be smart, but just getting more comfortable in learning and trying new things, really pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, and having the support from others. That's how you get other people elevated and take risks.”
