Episode notes

In this week’s episode, Patrick Donley (@JPatrickDonley) sits down with The Real Estate God, a famous anonymous Twitter account with over 100,000 followers, to talk about his unique views on life, real estate, and business. You’ll learn why he thinks investing in a 401k is a bet against yourself, how he got started in real estate private equity, what moves you need to make to leave your W-2 wisely, macro trends he thinks will affect us in the coming years, why he focuses on tertiary markets, the origin story of The Real Estate God account, and much, much more!
