For the next two weeks, our discussions will revolve around the polycrisis afflicting the globe with four subtopics. The first will be the four most important crises, followed by how Georgism can alleviate these crises, which will then be followed by how to make Georgism more politically palatable, and will conclude by discussing different Georgist policy solutions.

Episode 342: Kurt Krause currently serves as the President and CEO of Visit Norfolk, joining in 2019. He is responsible for directing the effort to improve the quality of life for all residents through the economic and community benefits of tourism. His history in the hotel industry spans over 37 years, including 21 years with Marriott International, eight years with Aramark, and four years with Gold Key PHR. Arriving in Norfolk in 2014, he led the pre-opening efforts of Hilton Norfolk – The Main, followed by re-opening the historic Cavalier Hotel and Cavalier Beach Club in Virginia Beach. As well as his career in the hotel industry, Kurt served our Country initially as a Loaned Executive for the Transportation Security Administration. As a founding member of the largest start-up of any private or public organization, he was specifically responsible for many of the consumer-oriented deliverables. For his effort in the participation of founding the agency, in addition to the consumer element, he was recognized with the Department of Transportation Distinguished Service Medal by Secretary Norman Minetta in 2002. Kurt then joined his alma mater, Virginia Tech, as Vice President of Business Affairs; responsibilities included Facilities, Personnel, VT Police Department, Department of Environmental Health and Safety Services, Office of the University Architect, and Real Estate Management. On the personal side, after enjoying 20 years of playing amateur baseball (2003-2023), winning two national championships, Kurt found enjoyment on stage, participating in the Hampton Roads Dancing with the Stars, performing with the Virginia Opera, and with Hurrah Players in Annie (2018) and Dames at Sea (2019). On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Kurt Krause about how Visit Norfolk is revisiting a successful collaborative campaign from 2020 to see how they can apply those learnings to new need areas. He shares more about the “City with Bite” and how it has led to engagement with the local community in addition to visitors. Kurt also highlights current plans to tell the authentic history of Norfolk through a program called Pathways to Freedom, which tells the story of the Underground Railroad, recognizes the harrowing experiences of those who sought freedom, the individuals and institutions that aided them, and the historical locations that played a part in their journey.   What You Will Learn in this Episode: What Visit Norfolk is doing to break through the noise of a crowded travel and tourism market, including a collaboration with Virginia Beach that generated $6 million of hotel business in the summer of 2020 How can we apply insights gained during the COVID-19 pandemic to keep us moving forward as DMOs in new periods of need Why those that keep their marketing going and continue connecting with their audience, even when times are tough, recover faster when a crisis hits How the “City with Bite” series started, how they produce and market it, and how they envision making it financially sustainable Kurt shares one of the projects that Visit Norfolk is proud of right now, including how they recognize the city's problematic history and sensitively tell the authentic story of enslaved people in the area The “City with Bite” Initiative Kurt discusses the often overlooked but crucial role residents play in destination marketing. It's not solely about attracting out-of-town visitors but also engaging the locals in the activities and experiences the city offers. He shares more about the “City with Bite” initiative, a restaurant series now in its third season, which was invented to motivate residents to patronize local eateries again. The “City with Bite” series has rejuvenated the local culinary scene and enhanced residents' understanding and appreciation of the visitor economy. One distinctive feature of the “City with Bite” series is the inclusion of restaurant customers in their episodes. They are invited to share their experiences, reminiscences, and thoughts about the highlighted restaurants, fostering a deeper connection between the local community and the city's gastronomic landscape. Sharing Untold Stories Kurt also shares some of the upcoming projects Visit Norfolk is undertaking that he's particularly proud of. For the last two years, the team has been working on a project based on “Pathways to Freedom,” a book by Dr. Cassandra Newby Alexander that narrates the tale of the underground railroad in Norfolk. This venture aims to tell the untold stories of those who braved the perilous journey to freedom, a narrative often eclipsed by more popular accounts like those of Pocahontas and Captain John Smith. Through this project, Visit Norfolk aims to shed light on the harrowing experiences of those who sought freedom, the individuals and institutions that aided them, and the historical locations that played a part in this journey. One of the most fascinating things about this initiative is the use of augmented reality (AR) to bring these historical narratives to life. For example, the technology can help recreate the imagery of the tunnels under St. Mary's Basilica, where the enslaved were known to escape. It can also show places such as the slave jail or warehouses that no longer exist. The goal here is to foster an understanding of the city's history and how it has progressed, not perfectly but significantly, towards becoming a diverse and inclusive community.

The Biden Administration launched a broad-based effort by federal agencies to “improve the quality of life for renters.” The announcement comes at a time when 40% of renters are struggling to keep up with their rent payments, but raises questions about how to make housing affordable in a way that is fair for both renters and landlords. (1)   Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review.   U.S. Rent Growth   Rents have been soaring across the country, as housing demand continues to outpace supply, but it has also been slowing down as the Federal Reserve works to slow inflation with rate hikes. According to Zillow, typical U.S. asking rents are $1,981, which represents a yearly growth rate of 7.4%. That's down from a peak of 17.1% last February. (2)   Rents and rent growth vary wildly from market to market. In Miami, year-over-year rent growth is 11.7% while Las Vegas is showing a negative .9% increase. A few other examples include Cincinnati with a rent growth rate of 10.2% and Indianapolis, at 9.6%.   Federal Renter Protection Effort   Getting back to the renter protection announcement, let's look at some of the top calls to action:   1 - The Federal Trade Commission or FTC and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) will be investigating ways that tenants are being unfairly prevented from getting into housing or removed from housing they already have. Some of the practices they will be investigating include the use of background checks, tenant screening algorithms, adverse action notices for rejecting applicants, and information on an applicant's source of income.    2 - Those two agencies will also issue guidance for the credit reporting process, and coordinate enforcement efforts to ensure the accuracy of the information. They will also hold background check companies accountable if they engage in unfair procedures.   3 - The Federal Housing Finance Agency or FHFA will be involved with renter protections that include limits on excessive rent increases. The agency describes it as a public process that prioritizes transparency with updates, including one within the first six months. The FHFA will also encourage affordability for the multifamily market with affordability requirements for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans.   4 - The Department of Justice is expected to issue guidance on the prevention of anti-competitive information sharing in the rental market.   5 - The Department of Housing and Urban Development or HUD will work on new rules that require at least 30 days notice before a lease is terminated for a public housing tenant who stopped paying rent.   6 - The Biden Administration plans to hold quarterly meetings with tenants and tenant advocates to make sure their voices are heard.   Blueprint for Renters Bill of Rights   All this is part of the so-called “Blueprint for a Renters Bill of Rights. The guiding principles include:   1 - Safe, Quality, Accessible, and Affordable Housing 2 - Clear and Fair Leases 3 - Education, Enforcement, and Enhancement of Renter Rights 4. - The Right to Organize   Housing Providers Involvement   Several housing provider groups are also participating in this effort.   The National Association of Realtors or NAR and its affiliate, The Institute of Real Estate Management, have made a commitment to promote resident-centered property management practices. That might include the use of alternative credit scores for applicants who don't have much of a credit history or the sharing of information with an applicant about Housing Choice Vouchers or rental assistance programs.   The National Apartment Association and the National Multifamily Association have also made commitments to promote resident-centered management practices. That might include help for tenants who want to improve their credit scores by reporting positive rent payments to credit bureaus.   While those agencies are promising those contributions, they are also speaking out against rent control. As mentioned in a Bigger Pockets blog: “Numerous studies have found that the long-term effects of rent control hurt the people these policies intend to help.” (3)   Why Rent Control Fails   There are studies by the Brookings Institution and Stanford that show rent control may provide short-term relief for renters but decrease housing affordability over the long-term. That's because landlords get out of the business, which reduces the amount of available housing, increases demand, and leads to higher rents.   The National Apartment Association says that rent control discourages the creation of affordable rental housing including new construction and rental housing renovations. The National Bureau of Economic Research says that rent control keeps smaller families from downsizing and opening up rental space for new larger households.   There are several detailed well-informed arguments against rent control, but at the heart of the issue is what is truly happening with rent inflation. Currently, rent growth is coming down. Yes, it is still growing year-over-year, and yes, a large chunk of the renter population is rent-burdened. That calls for a solution, but rent control is only a short-term solution. And it's very difficult to get rid of it once it's in place.    According to Bigger Pockets, the National Multifamily Housing Council would like to see direct subsidies to low-income renters and builders who create affordable housing. Many housing industry insiders also say that rental housing policy should be regulated at the state and local level.   Why Federal Rental Policy is a Bad Idea   In a CNN article, NAR's Kenny Parcell warns of the negative impact of federal policies saying they can “potentially drive housing providers out of the market” and make housing more expensive over the long-term. He also says: “Expanding the federal government's role in rental policy also places an even greater undue burden on mom-and-pop providers.” (4)   NAR said high rents are the result of a supply and demand imbalance, and that more affordable housing is needed to keep rents from rising like they have been. The NAA's Bob Pinnegar says: ““For months the National Apartment Association worked with the White House in good faith.” He says: “We stand by our commitment to promote industry resident services and practices, (but we are opposed) to expanded federal involvement in the landlord and tenant relationship. Complex housing policy is a state and local issue and the best solutions utilize carrots over sticks.”   That's it for today.   If you'd like to learn more about landlord tenant relationships and property management, you'll find several articles at newsforinvestors.com under the Learning tab.

Check it out below:   [00:00:00] Kevin Jenkins: At some point, you just gotta take action and just start doing. So if you don't take action, you're just adding time to the whole thing. And it's just going to take you longer. And so you really got to just start taking action. You know, you learn from your mistakes. So you must make those mistakes early, instead of waiting for it to be perfect.   [00:00:42] Sam Wilson: Kevin Jenkins is an anesthesiologist that has a goal of offering the average investor opportunities that are often not available to them. Kevin, welcome to the show.   [00:00:51] Kevin Jenkins: Hey, thank you, Sam. Hey, the pleasure is mine.    [00:00:53] Sam Wilson: Kevin, there are three questions I ask every guest who comes on the show in 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now? And how did you get there?   [00:01:00] Kevin Jenkins: So for me, it started off when I was a child, my sister and I were the make-ready team for my parents real estate properties. They had about 33 some odd units as a kid growing up. And I saw the value that it added in our family being that I was the paperboy for our entire neighborhood. And being in and out of people's homes, I knew we were living differently than everyone else was. And so I knew as soon as I got my own money, that I was going to start doing the same thing. My parents kind of created a roadmap for us, I was going to do the same thing. So once I got out of school, about a y unit, and then bigger, that was too small. But I used that the pay off some student loans and then moved into a 79 unit, and then just operated that property and scaled up from there.   [00:01:34] Sam Wilson: That's fantastic. You went ahead it though and went obviously all the way through to become an anesthesiologist. And at the same time, we're building your real estate portfolio.   [00:01:44] Kevin Jenkins: Yes, that's correct.  [00:01:45] Sam Wilson: Wow, that's awesome. That's an unusual dual track. I think most of the physicians and people I've talked to, they wake up, you know, 20 years later and are like, Oh my gosh, we're making great money, but we're killing ourselves doing it, there's got to be a better way. You've got a new out of the gate that hey, I'm going to do these both simultaneously. What was your thinking behind that?   [00:02:05] Kevin Jenkins: Well, you know, my parents were kind of entrepreneurial. And again, I saw the benefit. So like, as a paperboy, I lived on a modest street, and I had over 100 customers. And from second grade all the way up to eighth grade, I was in and out of people's homes. And I knew how they lived. And I knew what they did and did not do, and where and where they struggle. And I knew we weren't having the same issues and same problems. And so I consumed a lot of content, growing up whether it was on TV or in books, and I was kind of a bookworm, also as a computer nerd, but I've consumed a lot of content. And I watched what people said and did. And, you know, for me, I just knew what I wanted. And it was just to emulate what my, what my parents had offered to my sister and I and which was a means to make income outside of your outside of your W-2   [00:02:55] Sam Wilson: Right. Right. Absolutely. Tell me what your business looks like today.   [00:02:56] Kevin Jenkins: So like we said, pre show, my trajectory was 79, was very profitable with 79 unit, because it was also commercial. And that allowed me to scale up. And through collaboration. My we went from 70 924 202, and soon to be 200 units under our general partnership arrangement. And then also from that 79, you know, I was going to have a huge capital gain tax. So I reached out to some friends and got into their deals. And so between the general partnership and the limited partnerships will have over 4000 units.    [00:03:40] Sam Wilson: So that's awesome.    [00:03:42] Kevin Jenkins: About 500 units under the general partnership.   [00:03:44] Sam Wilson:Right. No, that's that's fantastic. I mean, to be able to, you know, pull off owning 500 units as a general partner, and then also be a full time  anesthesiologist, I think, if I'm not mistaken, you said you worked all night long, just before jumping on this call. That's pretty ambitious.    [00:03:59] Kevin Jenkins: If your why is big enough, you'll figure out how to make a way. And my why has always been big enough. And really, my why is, you know, time freedom, right? At some point, tou make great income, but you don't have enough time. Then prior to that, you have a lot of time but not enough income. So, yeah, it's really you know, whatever you make your priority. That's where you'll put your focus.   [00:04:20] Sam Wilson: Without putting numbers to it, what is the roadmap for you? How do you get to that time and money freedom kind of intersection?   [00:04:29] Kevin Jenkins: I'm still kind of working with that in my head, I keep telling a lot of the guys where I work, I say, hey, in five years, I'm cutting out of here. It it actually might be, I might go down to part time, right? In five years, just because you got that first flow, right? First flow of income, and I just want to put something on top, and then maybe another unit on top, and another unit on top. And you know that that's right now, that's my plan. That's my current plan. And if it works, it works. If not, who knows? You can't, you know, once you when you speak to people who have retired, and I'm speaking of older people, you know, they get bored, you can only drink so many umbrella drinks or play so much golf, so you got to find something productive to do with your time. Right. And so, you know, I tried to help a lot of other physicians with that process. And really anyone who would like to listen to me, because the younger person who runs into a lot of a lot of money, you know, they run the risk of running out of money. If it's all from like a W-2 income, right? The older person runs the risk of outliving their money. And so you got to find a way to figure out how to make how to make that money that doesn't always involve you know, clocking in and working. That's where I can come in and kind of offer an opportunity.   [00:05:42] Sam Wilson: Sure. What's that conversation like with your colleagues? I mean, certainly. And I asked this probably to a lot of the physicians that have come on the show, it's always a different answer. But what's that? Like, when they're like, hang on, Kevin? You're buying apartment complexes?   [00:05:56] Kevin Jenkins: Yeah, there are people who get it. And then there are the people who don't get it. So it's two schools of conversations. The first conversation, I'll go with the negative conversation, and which is Oh, how's it you know, how's it being a landlord. And, then, and that's the person that's watching CNBC all day, also complaining about the market and the value of their portfolio going down, right? And they just haven't figured it out. And I have a proof of concept that I show them, and they see it, and then they're kind of shocked. And then that kind of opens the door for some education, and explaining on how I achieved what I achieved. And those people just don't know, right? They just don't know. So you just kind of just got to explain it to them. And then the other group, they get it. And it's really like, there's no education at all. There's like, oh, man, I'm so glad I ran into you. I was wondering how to do it, I was trying to figure out how to do it, or thinking about getting into a REIT. And, you know, then there's the education on that part. And like, say, hey, you know, it's just, it's really a kind of a, like a stock, you can get in and out of it, and you don't have any transparency. And you just don't get all the benefits. So I tell them what I'm doing. And, you know, depending on how it gets presented, I choose which way I'm gonna go.   [00:07:11] Sam Wilson: Right? No, I love that. I love that. I think that's, that's, it's a cool void that you fill. I mean, I was in the doctor's office yesterday. And he asked me that question, like, hey, what do you do? And I'm like, you know, we bought, you know, everything from multifamily assets to self storage. Right now we're buying RV resorts, he's like, Oh, that's cool. My son does that too. And then to come to find out his son, his son, which is fine, you know, it's a great place to start. We're at kind of cut my teeth was wholesaling houses. I'm like, Well, you know, it's close. It's close. And that was kind of the end of the conversation. But it's always where you are, you can obviously get in and really help people understand it in a unique way. What it is you do and how you do it. So I think that's, that's really cool and a valuable need, and problem that you're solving there for your colleagues. What are some strategies that you feel like you've used to take you to where you are today?   [00:07:58] Kevin Jenkins: The one is planning. One is first really developing the why, you know, if you don't have a strong, why it's not going to drive you to get through the tough times. And then the other is surrounding yourself with like minded people. Not that like misery loves company, but it allows you to bounce some things off of peers, right? And so, that's always helpful because you could do it by yourself, and learn as you go. But it may take you longer, you know, I bounce some things off my parents, mostly from an operational standpoint, and but then I'll bounce some things off some peers that are further ahead of head than me. Who have fun far more units. And, you know, they'll just tell me like, Hey, you might want to consider a few things. So a strong ally, and then some peers, where you can collaborate with others, you know, and then just being just being in the moment, what I like to tell people who are just getting started is that, you know, you can read all you want in a book about how to ride a bicycle, but you don't really learn how to ride a bike until you get on it, right. And so, at some point, you just got to take action and just start doing so yeah. So if you don't take action, you're just adding time to the whole thing, and it's just going to take you longer. And so you really got to just start taking action. And you know, you learn from your mistakes. And so you might as well make those mistakes early, instead of waiting for it to be perfect. You know, I tell a lot of people, Microsoft, Apple, all these big companies, they, they put that they put their product out, and it's not completely ready. Right? You know, that's why they had to, you know, do other uploads, it's not ready, it's not perfect. You just can't wait. So just go ahead and make your errors early, and move on and learn early.   [00:09:44] Sam Wilson: I'd love to hear what those are. But before we do, I think I'm probably butchering this comment, but it was something like perfect is the enemy of good enough, or something along those lines, where it's like, it's never going to be completely ready to go. So just go do it. What do you feel like some of those mistakes were that you made early on that you could help our listeners avoid? If possible?   [00:10:06] Kevin Jenkins: Okay, yeah. So for me, my initial, one of my first initial mistakes was hiring the wrong management company, right? One of the management companies I hire ended up being a company of one. So what that really means is, the property was too large for them, they didn't have really good systems or processes in place. And that, you know, I kind of discovered that, I wouldn't say too late, but, you know, I could have done it better. But the other thing that I learned was, demographics matter. You know, on one of the properties, we were trying to change the tenancy, the tenants of the building, right? Just because we wanted to be best in class, in the area and best in class service. And to me, customer service is everything, right? Because even the regardless of your price point, whether you're low middle, or high income, everybody wants something great. And so everybody wants great customer service. And if you can be best in class, regardless of where you are on that demographic line, you will get more tenants or customers or whatever, you'll get them regardless, and you can drive your income up. So I like to call a win, win and win, whether it's I'm creating a win for the residents, a win for my investors or win for me, right? If I can figure out how to get what you want, I can certainly get what I want. And so so that's my goal. So demographics are important. And for us, when when when I bought, I won't say the wrong area, but in an area that had lower median household income, we had to see, to get that to get over that hump. We had to see 60 people just to get one qualified tenant, right. And so that number goes way down, as you consider a higher median income, you just gotta be prepared for it. You know?   [00:11:52] Sam Wilson: And for the right people with the right systems in place, I've got plenty of friends in the business, who own and operate C and D class, even apartment communities, and they're doing great with it. If you're ready for it, absolutely, absolutely. But demographics do matter. It's when he was reviewing a deal yesterday. And it took just a cursory somebody. Actually, my brother sent it to me said, Hey, man, look at this is a cool apartment complex in XYZ down. I'm like, No, I just took a quick look at the rent roll. I looked at who's paying what and where. And I'm just like, No like this. This is outside of my skill set. It's not that I don't that these people don't deserve to be served. It's just not the skills that I possess. Sorry.   [00:12:30] Kevin Jenkins: Yeah. And so that goes back to like having the right people in your team, the right people in your team and then the right seat.    [00:12:37] Sam Wilson: So how have you built that team? What have you done to get the right people in the right seat?   [00:12:42] Kevin Jenkins: So one of the things I like to do, we'll start some of the so you can get the property right. I think the management company is the most important piece. If you're not going to be doing the management yourself, then the management company is the most important piece and you can look what I like to do is I like to go to the IRAM website, the Institute of Real Estate Management website. And I like to look for an accredited management organization. And you know, it is a piece of paper, but for the management The company, but to me, it lets me know that they have all the people and the processes in place. It helps me avoid that one man show. And yeah, they may not be perfect, initially, but at least it's the starting point for me to go explore what other management opportunities might be out there. Now, I'm also going to use the word of mouth. And I'm also going to interview other companies. But for me, that's the starting point. And if there if there aren't any of those types of places, or organizations available in a certain area, me I'm very slow to invest in that particular area. Because if anything, I want one of those to be the backup to what people have suggested, is a good company to go with.    [00:14:02] Sam Wilson: Got it, you'll use that you'll use the industry as a Institute of Real Estate Management website. So you've presented a deal, and other people have said, hey, you know, here's the management companies in the area we should look at you said, alright, well, I'm gonna use this as a backup. To review check the companies, maybe they're suggesting and or bring alternatives to the table, if needed.   [00:14:21] Kevin Jenkins: Yeah, cuz you're gonna need a backup, just if the other company does not work out. You need a backup. But if there's no backup, you know, you might have just lost your capital. [00:14:29] Sam Wilson: Right. Right. Yeah, I think you hit it on the head, because you said the management company is the most important piece of the puzzle if you're not self managing.   [00:14:36] Kevin Jenkins: Yeah. Because you know, as there's no different than saying, Hey, I'm gonna give you I don't know, $5 million in this briefcase. Hold on to it. Oh, yeah. By the way, I wanted to be 80% better than when we started in couple of years.   [00:14:51] Sam Wilson: Yeah, right. Right. That's a great. That's a great way to put it, because that's exactly what's happening. And oftentimes as much bigger numbers even than that, where it's a go take go be a good steward of this. And if they're not prepared, then well, you know what's gonna happen.   [00:15:02] Kevin Jenkins: Well, I was gonna say 20 million, but I think that might be kind of tough to stick in a briefcase.   [00:16:57] Sam Wilson: Never tried Like, do someday. That'd be fun.   [00:15:15] Kevin Jenkins: Hey, it's all part of the planning.   [00:15:18] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Absolutely. What, tell me about a time and when we talked about this a little bit about mistakes early on. But have there been it? Has there been anything in your real estate journey that you would classify as a failure? And if so, was there anything that you learn from it?   [00:15:34] Kevin Jenkins: No, no failures. They're all even if it was a bad idea, it was a learn time to learn right now. Fell fast, fell quick, get over it, learn and course correct.   [00:15:43] Sam Wilson: Absolutely. Tell me something you feel like you've done really well that other people should emulate?   [00:15:49] Kevin Jenkins: So for me, it's like, okay, everybody wants the rewards of self ownership, like only yourself, right? And it's great. But for me, and my family is through team teams, team building collaboration, you can go faster, quicker, and it's much more enjoyable, because not all of the stresses just on you. And if you want, you can kind of pick a niche where you can kind of operate in, you know, I think, for me, that's it's a better way to go. People often ask like, if we're doing like, if I'm coming together with a team to take down a property, though, as well, hey, what are you good at? What do you want to do? I said, Well, I own 79 units by myself, once I had to do it all by myself, right? I'll do what most people don't want to do. Or I'll just find something to do as a you can pick whatever you want. And then I'll just kind of find something to make to improve. So case in point, I was brought in on a deal late. And so we're, you know, everybody has their responsibilities. And so I just want to find something to do. Well, in my last deal, I negotiated the cable contract. Like the deal by myself as to you know what you guys don't there's a expiring cable contract. Let me explore that. And we just inked the contract a couple of weeks ago, and it's going to be an additional $1.3 million for our investors that wasn't included in the underwriting. No one else knows about it, except for me and the general partners, and I got all like, kind of like, hyped up kind of like getting ready for a football game. And I'm trying to like to restrain myself right now in this video. But I was all I was very amped up to say the least. And you know, it was good.   [00:17:42] Sam Wilson: So that's a huge win. That's a win. Oh my god. We did something like that on a property last year what it was it was about $100,000 deal like that where it wasn't in the in the, in the projections to renegotiate some contracts like that, and I worked on those And it was I felt pretty good about that.    [00:17:59] Kevin Jenkins: Yeah, man, that's it's a win, right? It's a score.    [00:17:59] Sam Wilson: It's a score, right? It's, it's moving the needle in the right direction and you didn't anticipate it. That's absolutely awesome. Good. Well done. And you guys get to add that to the bottom. I mean, the bottom line.   [00:18:13] Kevin Jenkins: Well gonna take like two years, right? Because you can't just be can't just jack everyone's ran up or just didn't just say, Hey, we got to do this is it swallow it? You can't just say that right? So I think it's going to take about two, two years for for us to cycle through it and capture that dollar figure. So...   [00:18:30] Sam Wilson: Crossing maybe three. That's awesome. Well done, by the way, even 1.3 million over three years is still over $400,000 a year. Well done. Question for you is this, common skills. What are some crossover? Or what are some common skills you find between anesthesiology and real estate investing? Did you feel like a really important to what you do for us?   [00:18:51] Kevin Jenkins: Well, the first one is problem solving, and developing contingency plans, because in anesthesia, you know, things can be going smoothly, and then all of a sudden, there's a hiccup, and you got to problem solve quickly, to figure out what the problem is, in real estate. It's a slow moving ball. And so it doesn't happen as quick as things in my daily work environment. So so that's one. And the other one is decline, you know, working with other people, because we are doing anesthesia, or actually, we're just working in an operating room environment, you're working with nurses, you're working with tags, you're working with surgeons, and we all kind of come together to get the patient in and out of the hospital. Right. And so it's a team approach. And you gotta, you gotta know, you gotta be able to work well with people and deal with some people who don't work well with people. And to me, that's the same thing as far as if you're, if you're doing investing in real estate with people as a team. That's important. Right? And so, versus if you're just if you're a solo owner, so working well with others, and having contingency plans, you know? Yeah,   [00:19:55] Sam Wilson: I think what you said there was insightful when you said that you also have to learn to work with other people that don't work well with other people. And that's a soft skill that I can only imagine is extremely necessary in your day to day job or your day job.    [00:20:09] Kevin Jenkins: But yeah, most people are nice. Most people are normal people. And then you have others who are special. say the least. And you know, sometimes you just got like, hey, what's going on in your personal life?   [00:20:25] Sam Wilson: Kevin, this has been awesome. Thank you for taking the time to come on today. And share with us your your journey in you know, growing up in a real estate family. And then of course, launching out on your own and buying 79 units, and then how to scale as your general partnership and then be involved, gosh, between your GP and your LP up to 4000 units. That's absolutely incredible. If our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?   [00:20:49] Kevin Jenkins: Oh, yeah, I can be reached at kevin@equitypledge.com just out how it sounds like you're pledging some equity. And that's how you can reach me, I guess you can also reach me on LinkedIn as well. So I'm not much of a social media person, but I'm trying to be but yeah, emails the best way.   [00:21:06] Sam Wilson: Fantastic. We'll make sure we include that there in the show notes, kevin@equitypledge.com. Kevin, thank you again for coming the show today. Certainly appreciate it.   [00:21:14] Kevin Jenkins: Hey, thank you, Sam. Nice meeting you.    [00:21:14] Sam Wilson: You as well, sir.
