Transcript of How I Bought a $1.2M House for $560K (Real Estate Secrets) | Donovan Camarotti DSH #1009

I bought my personal house recently, too. The way it went down is they were listed on the market for 935 grand. Then they dropped it to 850. I offered them 550. Damn. They were like, No, we can't do 550. I was like, All right, what can you do? They're like, We'll do 560. You low-balled them. Yeah, I low-balled them.

You got that for 40% off. Yeah.

I put 250 grand into it just to make it nice and like how I want to, but it was a solid property.

Dude, you got to steal. You doubled your money overnight. Exactly. All right, guys. Donovan Cameraden here today. We're going to talk Airbnb, right?

Yeah, Airbnb, flipping, whatever, man.

Let's go. You're a young person to be in this space. I am, 21. Did you start straight out high school?

Yeah, I really just started looking into it, when I was a senior in high school, I needed to figure out what to do. Then first week in college, I got my first property first week of college and just been doing it ever since.

How did you afford that first one?

Saved up some money. Had to basically just put everything I had into it. Then just bought that one, ended up having no money. Sold it, then I had some money and then bought a few more and just kept doing it like that.So.

You were able to flip it quick?I.

Was, yeah, within a few months.Nice..

What gave you that conviction How did you get the motivation to pick that specific property?

Well, it was cheaper, it was easier. It was like a condo, so it was super easy to get into. It was a light renovation, so it was a good first property. Nice.

How did you learn how to fix it and everything?

Honestly, I just figured it out by doing it. My parents had this handyman that worked for them, so he just did the renovation. I had to find a couple of other subcontractors and just basically figured it out.

A good handyman is important, I feel, for that business because you get ripped off with certain guys.

Yeah, certain contractors take advantage of people, especially if they don't know what's going on or whatever.

I've been getting wrecked out here in my house. Have you? Bro. Because I just bought a house, and I've never had to use contractors before, but a lot of them be high-balling, and you have no idea to compare it to. You're just overpaying.

Yeah, if you have no reference, you'll pay 100 grand for something that'll cost you 40, 50, normally, actual cost.

I just paid 12K to fix a leak.Oh, gosh.I got wrecked.Yeah. Yeah, that should be a couple of thousand max.Right, max. Max. Yeah. So you live and you learn, though, man. A hundred %. So is your main strategy to fix and flip? Yeah.

I do have one Airbnb and then one that's in the process of being built. But Fix and Flip is my bread and butter.

I feel that. What do you think about this Section 8 stuff?

Section 8, it's good for some people, and I think it works for some people, but I don't think it's really something I'd want to get into. I know people can make a lot of money, but not so much my thing, I think. It It's just a tenant class. Lower-level people is what you're dealing with.

It seems too good to be true, the ads I'm seeing for it.

It's nice because the government will pay. They rent, basically, or they guarantee it. But then you get just the lower class of people, which is It's unfortunate to say, but me personally, I would rather just deal with businesses, and I'd rather rent to a business, and they have a guarantee on it. It's just a lot easier.

You're talking the upper middle class people? Yeah.

People that are a little more stable, a little more... They just are comfortable, essentially.

How many units do you have now?

I currently have just under 40 flips on the books right now, and then the two Airbnbs as well.

That's so fast because you startedSo you did it recently?

Yeah, within the last three years.

Holy crap. That's like 15 a year, almost. Flips. Yeah.

Well, I'm on track to do about like 80 flips, 80 to 100 flips in the next 12 months. And then just scale it up. My first year, I did nine flips, second year, maybe like 22. And then now it's just totally took off.

Damn, exponential growth. So what was that thing? Did you change anything from what you were doing?

Well, so between year one and year two, I learned how to raise money because you can only do so much in real estate, just money-wise. And then from year two to year three, I figured out how to hire people. So I hired project managers, I hired acquisition. I now have an assistant, disposition as well. So everything is covered, essentially. So that just allows us to scale like crazy.

Yeah, I feel like raising money is really hard to figure out. But once you got that and you have a good ROI system in place, why would you not continue investing?

I had to raise money just out of necessity.

Yeah, you didn't have any.

My fifth or sixth flip, I already had a proof of concept. I I know I could do it. And then I just ran out of money. So I was like, okay, hey, I need 50 grand for a down payment on this house. Paid someone interest and just basically kept doing that. I was like, oh, well, I can do this and do 100 properties. Why stop at one or I think we were three or four.

I feel that. Any flips where you lost money? And if so, what was the big lesson learned there?

Yeah, 100%, dude. I lost 50 grand on my third flip.Oh, wow.Yeah, which sucked, right? Because basically what I had made, I lost. But the good thing is that that property I didn't sell for a year. So with the holding costs and everything, that's why I lost. But I was able to flip other houses during that time. So it just made up for it. Got it. And I would say the biggest lesson I learned is not hiring bad contractors or not always hiring the cheapest bid. Obviously, you don't want to get ripped off like we were just talking about. But you don't want to go with the cheapest guy because he's probably underbidding it for a reason. Either he doesn't know what he's getting into or he's just going to put in cheaper material and not do as good of a work. So That's what bid me on that house.

So maybe get someone in the middle of high and low.

If you get three bits and you got one guy at 10 grand, one at 12, one at 15, go with a 12 guy.

Yeah, that's probably the safest play. 100%. Yeah, because if you go with the cheapest, it sounds good, but then you got to pay for the fix. And then it's double. Yeah, that happened to me. Yeah.

And you were the expensive guy to do it.

I feel that, man. So it took you how long to be profitable after that 50K loss?

It was profitable during that time. Now, obviously, that hurt the PnL at the end of the year, but we were flipping other houses during that time. So we were able to survive it.

Got it. So this business is interesting then because a lot of businesses, you're not profitable for a bit.

No. And I will say I didn't really take any profit and any distributions other than very small ones for the first year, year and a half. Got it. Then only recently, I started taking big ones, and I was actually able to take big ones comfortably.

So you got to lock in for a year.

Minimum year in this business.

Did you have a mentor?

I have a few mentors, and I get different things from every one of them. Now, none of them being one-on-one per se, but I think you had them on the podcast, Ryan Paneda. Yeah.he's been a big one for me.Nice. I have the guy that runs our local REA. He's taught me a lot just by being in there and listening to what he has to say. I learned a lot on YouTube, honestly.YouTube University, baby.Yeah. For probably at least nine months, maybe a year. Before I really jumped into it, I was just watching YouTube learning everything I could about fixing and flipping houses, how to talk to sellers, how to run comparable sales, how to estimate rehab costs, everything like that.

Yeah, and you won't learn that in college? No, not at all. Hell, no. No. So do you even have a real estate license?

I don't have a real estate license, but I have agents that now work for me that do have a real estate license.

Got it. And how are you finding the houses on the MLL?

So on the MLS, we do find some houses. A lot of the stuff is just through Google, pay-per-click We're really good at everything. Honestly, the best, though, has been the organic leads and the referrals that we've got. Really? Yeah, that's been by far the best. Number one, they don't cost anything. Number two, they're really high quality because you don't have to sell yourself. They already trust you because it's a referral.

Wow. So that's the strategy right there.

That's been the best for me so far.

Yeah, because if you're looking on MLS, everyone else is looking.

Yeah, and you're going to pay the most.

100 %. Yeah, because they can run comps and everything, so they have a better idea of the market, and they have an agent representing them. Right, exactly.

That's just getting out to everyone. So if you win it, you're just probably the highest bidder.

Yeah, 100 %. Any crazy stories with squatters or anything? Squatters, man. Where are you doing this? What state?

Florida. Okay. Which is good because the laws there are decent for the property owner. Now, it's still difficult depending on what's going on and how they became squatters. The first time I ever dealt with a squatter was a property that I bought. There were seven people living in there. By the time I had closed on it, there were maybe four people living there. And this lady overstayed her welcome, basically. And then she said she left. And I was like, okay, cool. So we went into the house and her bed was still there. Her cats were still there. It looked like she was still living there. I was like, I don't think she left. So we went back a little bit later. Sure enough, she was in there. I was like, oh, boy. And it wasn't me. It was actually my project manager that went in there. Funny enough, I was on the phone with him, and he walks in, and we were just talking whatever. He's like, Hey, what do you want to do with this baseboard? And he goes, Hey, you cannot be here. Like, really loud, really imposing voice. And I was like, Bro, what's happening?

And the lady's name was like, Lisa, I don't know. I probably shouldn't say that, but who cares? She's a squatter. He's like, Lisa, you cannot be here. You have to get out right now. And then, sure enough, he kicks her out, she gets out, and change of locks, whatever. I set up a camera The next night, she climbs in the window and gets back in the house.No way.Yes. Apparently, two of her other friends come in the house, too. We walked into the house one morning. The bathroom guys were there to work on the bathroom, whatever. They walk into the house and they got one person in the back porch, one person in the closet sleeping, and then Lisa's in her bedroom. They're like, Hey, guys, you can't be here. You got to get out. They left pretty easily, but this one lady Lisa kept coming back. Every night, she would come back to sleep. She was like, Yeah, I'm getting out today. Getting out today. She never got out. So one night, I saw her on the camera. I was near where the house was, so I just went over there. And I was like, Hey, you got to go.

I got the cops over there. And the cops were actually giving me a little bit of a hard time because they were like, Hey, technically, you're not the owner of a record yet. I was like, Yes, I am. Here's all the paperwork. It just hasn't updated on public record yet. And I had to basically convince the cops. Hey, guys, help me get this person out that's not supposed to be here. I had to prove my ownership and everything. And they had a conversation with her, and she was like a meth head. In that moment, she agreed to get out. I helped her literally take all her stuff and put it at the curb so she couldn't come back in. We put sticks in the windows to lock them. And after that, she finally got out. She didn't come back. I later found out she got arrested, and all the proceeds from the sale, she sent to her meth dealer. No way. And she lost all the money that she made from that sale.What?Yeah.That.

Is nuts.Yeah..

That's wild. She endorsed a check over to him because she didn't have a bank account, and he ran off with it.

That's crazy.

I was like, What did you expect, man?

You're lucky you were in Florida. I feel like if that was Calleigh, you would have been screwed.

No shot. She would have still been there. What is it?

Like six months, if you're there, you own the house or something?

I don't know exactly. I actually had this one guy I know in California. He basically became a squatter. Chase Bank still is on the deed, but he's He's owned the house for 20 years.He's got rent on it.What? Yeah. He's renting it out, and now there's nothing they can do about it because it's in California. That's crazy. Yeah, so he's making rental income for 20 years on it.

How do the HOAs feel about what you do in their neighborhoods?

It's interesting. Some HOAs are fine, and then some you just get these Karens that just have nothing better to do. They're retired or they don't work, whatever. They just want to feel like they're in control. So one example, I had this one lady who is probably the craziest story where she was like, Hey, you can't be doing work without a permit. I was like, Yeah, I understand. Here's my permit. And I showed her the copy of the permit. She was like, Well, it has to be posted in the window. I was like, Okay, my bad. I didn't know. And And we had it printed out, posted in the window, but it didn't get done that day. So what she did that day is she went into the unit. It was a condo. She goes into the unit, she kicks out all the guys that are working there, which I don't know why they listen to her, but they... And she takes the keys out of my lockbox and she holds onto the keys. Now, I live an hour away from where this property is. So I get a call from the contractor freaking out. Hey, this lady just took your keys.

She kicked all my guys out of the unit. What's going on? I was like, Oh, this is ridiculous. So I hop in the car, I go down there, and I go knock on the door because the contractor, he was like, Hey, she's in unit 204. So I go knock on 204. What's the wrong lady? I was giving her a crop. I was Hey, you took my keys. She's like, I didn't take your keys. And I was like, Yes, you did. They said it's 204. And then he was like, No, it's 304. I was like, Oh, dude, you told me 204.Poor old lady.It was like, This poor old lady. So I had to go back and apologize to her. But then I find the lady in 304. She's just nasty, man. And there's actually a video on my Instagram about it where we're yelling back and forth. I was like, Give me my keys, lady. And she's just not giving me my keys because I don't I have the permit in the window. I was like, Well, hey, the HOI has it on file, I do have a permit. You cannot take my keys and go into my unit.

It's breaking and entering. Ended up having to call the cops. But before that, she tries to take off. I tried to get in front of the car, so she didn't go. She tries to run me over.Holy.

Crap.yeah..

I had to hop out of the way. Whole video is on my Instagram.

You recorded all this?I recorded all of it.Wow.Yeah..

And then so she tries to run over me, whatever. Cops come, and I got her license plate. So then they called her back in. And they got her. They talked to her. Hoa President ended up coming out. He was on my side, which was nice. And he was like, Hey, you cannot be doing this. And the cops, so they gave her a citation. They were like, You can press charges, but honestly, it's probably not with your time. She does it again. Go ahead and press charges. Thankfully, she didn't.

Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's attempted vehicular manslaught or something, right?

Plus, breaking and entering, plus, whatever else. She could have gotten the whole book for her.

Holy crap. She did not like what you were doing. No.

It's like, why?

You have nothing better to do. I guess it was loud or something, right? That noise? I guess. I don't know. I mean, that's something I'm not saying that's just part of being a homeowner. Your neighbors are going to do work once in a while. What if she wanted to do work on her house?

Exactly. What are you going to do there? But then there's on the flip side, some HOAs that are really cool, and they're like, Hey, you took this really ugly house and made it nice. Thank you so much. Here's Here's some other houses that are ugly. They've got an offer. So there are some good HOAs. Oh, that's cool. They're not bad all the time, but just some of these.

I have a love-hate with them. Yeah, me too. Because the monthly fee's a lot. And then, so, dude, my HOA in Vegas, they found the money laundering. Really? Yeah, they were keeping all the money. No way. Yeah.

So what's going to happen with that?

I don't know. I left that neighborhood, but I think they're getting sued. I don't know, but that's probably common because they're getting all this money. They're obviously not spending at all. Let's be honest.

There's a big thing in Florida with condos because I don't know if you've heard about it, but there's something called a milestone inspection where if the property is more than three stories tall, they have to come in and do an inspection, make sure it's up to spec and everything. If there's not, they get these huge assessments. There's this one had foundation issues near me. It was a probably 70 something unit deal on the beach, and they wanted to sell it for a million6, which is worth $20 million. It just because they were going to dissolve the HOA and just wanted to get rid of it. So someone scoop that up? It's a whole process. I'm trying to. But it's a whole process to dissolve an HOA and everything like that.

Yeah, it sounds complicated. But they didn't have the reserves to do the foundation repairs, and the people didn't have the money to come up with for the assessment and everything, so they were just, Hey, it's better to just get rid of it. How's the market in Florida by you right now? Right now, there's a lot listed in Vegas.

Yeah, there's a decent amount listed in Florida, too. I would say a few months ago, it was a little worse. It's picked up a little bit now with a little bit of an interest rate cut, but it's definitely slower than it was last year, a year before. But it's not horrible. We're still selling stuff.

It feels like there's a stalemate still.

There is a little bit, right? Because people think interest rates are going to keep dropping, which they probably are, so then they're just waiting. But then again, if you wait, then prices are probably going to go up.

If you wait, yeah. And there's more offers.

Yeah, exactly. You're competing with more people and you're going to pay more for the property.

That's why I bought now because I was chilling. I was the only offer. I had all the leverage. I was like, I bought my personal house recently, too.

The way it went down is they were listed on the market for 935 grand. Then they dropped it to 850. I offered them 550. Damn. And they were like, No, we can't do 550. I was like, All right, what can you do? They were like, We'll do 560.Wow.I.

Was like, All right, cool. You low-balled them.

Yeah, I low-balled them like crazy.

You got that for 40% off. Yeah.

When I bought it, it appraised for 1.2 million.

Holy crap.

Yeah. It's so much easier to get better deals right now. That's insane. Now, I'm going to have to put 250 grand into it just to make it nice and I don't want to, but it's a solid property.

Dude, you got to steal. You doubled your money overnight. Exactly. You didn't do any work to get that appraised?

No, it appraised as. It's just because it's a big house, nice neighborhood, big pool on a golf course, and just that neighborhood with that size of a house was north of a million.

It sounds like that's your competitive edge. You're really good at identifying these deals. Yeah, you have to be. You've probably seen so many at this point where you can just see it and no cool.

I'll tell my acquisition guys, Hey, guys, I want If I tell you a street name and I tell you the approximate size of a house, I need you guys to tell me how much that house is worth, because I know it. If you tell me, I live in Port St. Lucy. If you tell me, Hey, it's this street in Port St. Lucy, 3, 2, 1,700 square feet, I know that that'll sell for 400 grand.

Is that memory or is that just skill?

Just knowing the market. And now not everywhere is going to be like that, where house are not so cookie cutter or whatever. But you have to be able to know what properties are worth so you can identify a good deal right away.

That's important because you got to act quick if you see a good deal.

A hundred %, yeah.

Before someone else scoops it off. Definitely. That makes sense. Damn, it sounds like you're going to surpass Perneda.

Well, he's doing a lot. I think he changed his strategy a little bit. He's doing a lot more like wholesale and noinnovation deals, which is awesome. I'm getting into that.

Wholesale and novation, you said? Yeah.

Where he's not taking down as many flips just because of the risk. Because a lot of flippers, myself included, 2023, when the market really slowed, it's like, Hey, if you're carrying 40 flips and they all drop by 30 grand, that's $1.2 million. That's a big hit. You just took an L on. I think that's why he's switching to the wholesale novation strategy because there's a lot less exposure. It's not like you have to go and own a property for six months and then sell it and make money. If you can't get the price you want, you just cancel the contract.

How does novation work? I haven't heard that one.

It's a little bit complicated. It works a little bit different in each state. But essentially, instead of wholesaling the house to a cash buyer where you get a contract, let's say, for 300 grand, and you go assign your contract for 320 to a cash buyer who's going to flip it and you make that $20,000 spread. Novation is when you actually will sell it to a retail buyer, someone that's going to live in the property, because those people can pay a lot more for the property than an investor can, because the investor is trying to make money. Someone who's living there is just... Got it. They don't need to profit most of the time.

So you're middlemanning, basically. Similar to wholesale.

Yeah, it's similar to wholesale, but you're selling to buyers who will pay you more. And then in turn, you can get the seller more money. That's That's a big pivot that he's been pushing, and I 100% see why. And I'm honestly going to be doing that.

Yeah, there's so many ways to make money in real estate. I know people buy in land.

Yeah, same here.

And flipping it for crazy profits.

Because you can change the zoning on land, too. If you buy an agricultural, maybe 10 acres, and you get it mixed-use commercial, you're going to probably triple, if not quadruple the value of that land.

And I feel like that industry, specifically the land, if you have the right connects with politics, you could really run it in there and lobby. Yeah. Let's be honest. That's how the top guys are probably doing it. A hundred %.

Yeah. Because where I am in Florida, if you fly over Florida, you go into the airport, you just see it's like by the ocean, it's just extremely dense and extremely populated. And then you go a few miles out, it's just like trees and everglades, right? It's slowly moving West as people just keep building and keep building. So people will buy this agricultural land. A couple of years, it'll be a neighborhood.

Yeah, they'll get priced out of all the major cities. Exactly. Florida is probably the best state in the country to live in right now, in my opinion. Yeah.

Well, it's nice, too, because you have the beach, you have woods, you have access to water, access to the Caribbean, which is-Good airport.

Yeah, 100%. You could fly pretty quick out of the country. 100%. I'm a fan of it. If it wasn't, the only thing is the humidity, dude. I walk outside, my glasses are It's like a fog.

Yeah. But other than that. Vegas is... I was here three months ago in July.Oh.

Man.it.

Was hot, man.120. Yeah, and it's like a dry heat. In Florida, it's like, you can breathe because it's humid. I live in Florida. I'm used to it. Yeah, you sweat more. But I'm coming out here to Vegas and it's hotter, but I'm not sweating as much. But, dude, I can't breathe. It's so dry. And I'm sure you get used to it when you live here.

No, you don't. My lips have been chapped for four years. Oh, my gosh. I get bloody noses still. You don't get used to this shit. No, literally everyone here carries around Chapsick or something. Really? Because your lips just don't get used to it. It's tough out here. I would pick wet heat over dry heat. Yeah.

It gets cold in the winter. I didn't realize Vegas. It does. I figured desert, it's still warm. Oh, it's cold, man. I was here in January, and it was 40 degrees.

No, you need a hoodie and sweat pants.

I didn't bring anything like that. I thought it was going to be hot.

No. Florida, you can wear a T-shirt and shorts the whole year.

Yeah, flip flops and whatever. You're good.

Yeah, you're set. Now, Florida is big on super cars. I know you got one, right?

Yeah, recently. What did you get? I got a McLaren 570, which is entry-level. I wrapped it orange because... Classic. Yeah. I always wanted an orange McLaren. But I really got it more as an investment. Some people might be like, oh, yeah, it's not an investment. But I think it is because just in the few months that I've owned it, I've gotten offers to be literally on TV shows and have someone write a whole pitch for me to do that. I've gotten people that wanted to sell me their real estate deals. I wanted to lend me money on my real estate deals just in a few months of having it because they associate that, hey, someone's driving a car that's a couple of hundred grand. They obviously have some type of level of success. It's a big marketing thing.

Cars are great social proof. And I know they get hate, but if you use it in the right way, you can make an ROI on it.

A hundred %. And plus, I'll go to these... I'm in this club with a bunch of supercar owners. Who am I hanging around with? Other supercar owners who obviously have a lot more money than I do.

Exactly. They got connections, people that would probably invest in what you're doing. It's a win-win. I need to look into those clubs out here.

Yeah.yeah, do it. I know Fast Sling Club. I don't know if they have it out here. They're big in Florida, and they have a few national ones, too.

I know there's rallies out here. I've been meaning to get to one of those. Those look fun.

Are you into cars at all?

I got a G-Wagon. I mainly bought it for the write-off. Last year, we had a lot of money, a lot of profit in December, so I was like, Shit, I got a day to figure this out. So I went to Vegas Auto Gallery and bought one. But no, I'm going to get more into it because my house has a lot of spots for cars, so I need to step it up.

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I got my house, too, because it has a huge driveway and a three-car garage, but there's room to add another two-car garage and probably some lifts. I really like cars.

That's the first one for you?

Yeah, this is for the future.One.

Of many. Yeah.

And speaking of cars, too, not everything I have is super nice. I got my truck, my Ford Rapt, which is basically my daily. And then I have these two old Jeeps. One of them I found in a house that I bought, which was awesome.What?I got it for free.

No way. He left his car? Yeah, he left his car.

Yeah. And I texted him and I was like, Hey, you're coming to get this? Or he's like, No, there's no title. It's like, I can't get it running. All I needed was a fuel pump.Dam.Drain the old gas, put a new fuel pump in there and put a new battery in it and it got it running for like 350 bucks or something like that.

That's probably worth like 10 grand at least, right?

Yeah, it's probably worth a few grand. I mean, it was in rough shape, but there was also no title to it. So you had to go through that process, which I didn't want to. So what I did is I went... My parents have a little bit of property and there's more land to ride ATVs and whatever out there. So we would just take it on the trails.Oh.

I love that.Beat.

The crap out of it because you don't really care about it. It's not like your nice $100,000 truck. You just whatever. Then I'd let one of my guys drive it, and within 30 seconds, you crash it into a tree.

Bro.total bit.Come on, no. I've never been off-roading.No?No.No way.I want to go.Dude, you have to. I heard Vegas has some good spots.

I've heard that, too.

I've had the best off-road racer in the world on the podcast, B. J. Baldwin. Yeah? And he lives out here. He said whenever I'm ready. But dude, he goes like-You have to do it, man. It's so fun. He goes like 100 miles an hour. So I don't know if I want that, but we'll see. Yeah.

So I really like... It was this old Jeep. And when that When the phone got crashed, it just wasn't worth it to fix it. It actually still ran, funny enough. But I liked it so much, and it was so much fun. I got another one on Facebook Marketplace, real cheap. And I was like, Well, if it breaks, whatever, I can use the parts from the other one.

Don't I'm going to sleep on Facebook Marketplace.

I know, right? I low-balled the dude again. Got it for a few grand lower than what he was asking for. Nice. And then so I drove it, whatever. Then we were in a field, it was wet, so we were doing donuts or whatever. Caught a little hole on the front tire, ended up rolling it over. Thankfully, we didn't get hurt or anything like that, but it was behind a neighborhood.

Damn, that's scary.

Then the neighbors saw it, and they came over right away, helped just flip it back over and drove it. It turned on right away. Drove it. We ended up getting a trailer and just taking it home because the windchill was all cracked.

Those cars are durable, man.I.

Know, right?Dan.

Is that the biggest hobby you have off-roading?

I like doing that, and it's easy because where I live and everything, you don't have to go very far. I also love snowboarding, too, but I live in Florida. I only get to do that a few times a year when I go out to Colorado or Utah or whatever.

I was UFO hunting last night. Were you really? Yeah. I had this guest on. Shout out to Chris Bledso. He's a UFO expert. Really? Yeah. How did that go? What's that like? I can't say I saw one. I'm not going to sit here and lie, but I did see some weird star movements. Yeah? Interesting. I thought they were meteors, but then we looked it up and there was no meteors that day. Interesting. So who knows?

All right, a little off topic here, but do you believe in aliens?

Yes. Do you? Yeah.

I never did, but the more I think about it with how big the universe is, the odds are there's probably is something else out there.

There has to be. Whether it's physical or a light being, who knows? But there's got to be something. There's some animals that I think are aliens. You know what I mean? Like praying mantis, they They're going to fucking shit up. That's not normal. No, even octopus, they're way too smart for Earth. That doesn't make sense.

Don't they have a little brain in each one of their tentacles? Oh, they do. That's what I've heard. Wow. Someone can fact check me on that, but that's what I've That is wild.

No, but they're super smart. Even dolphins, they communicate with the energy waves or whatever.

Yeah, it's wild.

There's interesting animals on here.

Don't underestimate animals, man.

You got any dogs or anything? I do. I got one dog. Dogs change my life. Yeah. What's that? Had terrible anxiety. Really? Yeah. Awful, crippling, panic attacks. And dogs, they just heal you, man. They're so pure. You come home and they're like... They always love you. You could have the worst day and then come home and they just make you feel way better.

A 100 %. Yeah. No, they're awesome. My parents fought me on getting a dog when I was younger for good reason. But now, we got one probably when I was 12. He's still alive. He's still doing great. Nice. And then that bond is so close.

That's massive. Are you big in biohacking, personal development stuff?

I haven't really gotten into that.

Yeah, you're young. You have unlimited energy right now, but you'll see as you age, you'll have to start doing stuff. Yeah.

That's what everyone tells me.

But I remember when I was your age, I was working 18 hours a day. Easy. Sleeping like four hours, not feeling shit. But it'll catch up to you. Yeah. Yeah, it'll catch up, man. But, dude, it's been cool. Where can people find you? And do you have a course or anything?

I don't have a course. I probably will start some type of mentorship later this year. That is the plan. We're just working out the details of that. But honestly, I'm super active on Instagram, Facebook. You find me at camaraderhomes. Com. It's just my last name. Camaradi, C-A-M-A-R-O-T-T-I Homes. I post pretty often on that. People send me messages looking for stuff, whatever. I'm always trying to answer the messages.

Awesome. If anyone here is watching this, they got a house in Florida, hit you up, right? I'll buy it. Perfect.

I'll buy it, I'll sell it for you, whatever.

I love it. We'll link his stuff below. Thanks for watching, guys, as always. Peace. Hey, man.

Appreciate it. Drinking and driving is a decision that could change your whole world. Things will never be the same if you ever get a DUI because legal fees and time in court are just the beginning. Getting into a crash is another way that your world can be turned upside down. Your vehicle may not be the only thing that gets damaged in that crash. You can face a life-altering injury or even death, but you're not the only one that can face those consequences. Your decision to drink and drive can permanently impact not just your world, but someone else's world as well, whether you injure them or leave their loved ones grieving. The next time you're out drinking, call a ride share, a taxi, a sober friend, or a designated sober driver. The only decision that will change your world for the better is the decision to call for a sober ride. Drive sober or get pulled over. Paid for by Netza.
