80% of all profit being generated in real estate in the last 10 years is simply tied to things that have nothing to do with properties and even nothing to do with markets.
The best days of multifamily are behind us. I don't have any data that suggests that the best days of multi-family are ahead of us.
By speaking relatively, I think multifamily's still up there, but it's best days are unquestionably behind it.
I believe that going forward, multi-family is likely to track with inflation.
Inflation is simply a tax on savers. Inflation is a deliberately designed mechanism designed by the banking system to dilute the value of your dollars.
The reserve currency of the world is not a privilege. It is a burden. And if you don't understand why it's a burden, then you need to do some research and understand that it is a burden.
Technology tends to basically have an impact where it drives down rates and we are entering an extraordinary new phase of technology, which will make the last 30 years look like child's clay.

Key Takeaways:
Bronson describes himself with one word 'Focused'.
Bronson says that he is a value centered person and likes to live from a place of what is really most important.
I never met a tangent I didn't like, so that's been challenging for me.
You really can't do everything. There's a lot of great ideas, but at the end of the day, you have to focus in and say, what is it I want to do?
I had done medical consulting and medical sales for years, went into surgery, working with doctors, all kinds of different heart surgical stuff.
I told a cousin that I am planning to buy 30 houses in the Cleveland area and want to retire with passive income.
I ended up starting a meet up jumping in with both feet and really diving into the deep end of the pool.
My first multi-family deal after doing single families was 225 units in Texas. And I raised a small amount of money for a deal and feeling, Oh my gosh, that's a huge jump, how could you do that?
My first investor actually did not come from my friends or family, which is unique.
A lot of people just talk a big game, but they don't do anything.
As far as the properties that we're doing and the 800 plus units, the four properties, mostly in the South, I'm very involved as far as asset management.
If you can get to know other passive investors, that's very helpful.
There's things that really good operators do is the first thing is that typically they're very conservative.
If you're assuming that Dallas is going to grow at 5% rent growth per year, as it has for the last five to 10 years. I personally don't think that's very conservative.
Life is not cookie cutter and black and white and things don't happen very ideally all the time.
