💸 Money isn’t meant to sit still—it’s a currency, a constant flow like a river.  

As investors, the goal isn’t just one transaction. It’s about building lasting relationships—with wholesalers, contractors, lenders—and staying in the flow of money to create long-term wealth. 🌊

Quote from @Douglas Skipworth:

I like Brandon's perspective in this clip.  Thanks for sharing @Richey Ward.  

I appreciate you and CoreLend making such good content available for your Memphis and Birmingham investors.

(Full disclosure, I am one of the founders of CoreLend and they are a sponsor of our weekly podcast, The Investor's Guide to Memphis Real Estate with @Dean Harris of CrestCore Realty.)


Totally agree with Brandon on real estate being safer than other investments. Especially in these cashflow markets like Memphis and Birmingham.

📉 Stock market drops can be triggered by the smallest headlines… even a bad pizza review. 🍕 

🏡 Real estate? It’s a proven asset that doesn’t just vanish overnight. Even in the worst scenarios, you can still figure something out.

This is why smart investors choose real estate over Wall Street hype.
