Have any of you all seen this interview with Grant Cardone by Jordan Belfort (who is famous for being the "Wolf of Wall Street")?  The interview was supposed to be about selling strategies, as both Grant and Jordan sell sales training courses; however, it often veered back to Grant's real estate investing, and I found his investing strategy just bizarre.  What do you all think?

This is where he talks about committing to buy a property only based upon how it looked on the outside, before seeing any numbers:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ls3KDa7PMY&feature=youtu.be&t=3527

Here he talks about how a "property" (generic, not specified) should provide $2,000 of cash flow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ls3KDa7PMY&feature=youtu.be&t=4010  


Here he is proud of "convincing" someone to sell a property completely on the sellers terms:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ls3KDa7PMY&feature=youtu.be&t=4439

Those are just some highlights, although I think the entire interview is worth watching.

For anyone interested in Grant Cardone / Cardone Capital, I highly recommend watching his interview with Jordan Belfort.  His approach to picking deals is just absurd, in my opinion, but I think this is a must-watch before any investor gets in bed with him:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ls3KDa7PMY

I saw some suggestions for CRE but I was hoping for multifamily-specific. Any suggestions out there?

Thanks!

Question for you guys - when talking about a 3 or 4 unit property, how much does the market vacancy really affect that one property? Realistically speaking, Cam will probably devoting a lot more labor/time per unit than the average multifamily unit, and assuming some good marketing, I can't imagine it would follow market vacancy rates unless his property has issues.

Welcome Tom! If you have any questions about the multifamily side of things, just ask. I'll try to either answer or point you in the right direction.

Thanks Jon - I actually just realized that the Marketplace was there, so I was testing with something else entirely. Maybe I'll throw a job ad on there and see how it goes. Thanks!

I'm doing a little research on places that list real estate jobs. Can anyone share where they have either posted a job or found a job?

(If this should go in a different category, can you let me know which one? I wasn't sure....)

I'm fairly active on Reddit and was going to try to get /r/propertymanagement active again, but not sure which direction to go. I'm also active on /r/RealEstate/

A friend of mine posted a question about apps for due diligince and I thought you all might have a good answer for him. Here is a blurb:

Any ideas for him? Here is his original question.

Thanks!
