Today the boys talked about something we do not have deep knowledge about and that is real estate. Why did we talk about real estate? We felt it was appropriate because it is another asset class that is investable and can generate significant financial returns (or maybe we're just thinking about getting our sweet BTOs). That said, do not take everything discussed in this episode word for word and we would love for an expert to come on and put us back in our place (do reach out!) 

In this episode we shared about what types of properties are out there, how would we select properties to invest in, and would we actually invest in them. Towards the end, we talked about REITs plus their selection criteria as well.
