For him, having a mentor was a fundamental part of his success and he put a great deal of effort into making himself as valuable as possible. Despite great initial success, when the 2008 crash came, he lost everything. He then took some time away from real estate, but the fire never died and he has bounced back even stronger.

He does extensive research to ensure the properties he buys do not come with too much risk along with maintaining a conservative investment philosophy.
