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. 🍕
