It's my pleasure to welcome Rod Khleif to the show. Rod has personally owned over 2,000 single-family homes and multiple apartment communities. Rod has also built several multimillion dollar businesses and has dedicated himself as a community philanthropist. He has a compelling rags to riches to rags to riches story.

Thanks, Marco. It's awesome to be here.

It's my pleasure to have you on the show. I didn't know much about you until recently. In doing my due diligence on you and learning more about you and listening to your podcast, I was very impressed with a lot of the things that you had accomplished in years past. Then I was even more impressed with your Tiny Hands Foundation. I'm going to do a little thing that's out of the ordinary for me here. I usually start with tell us about yourself and whatnot. If you don't mind, before we get into you and real estate investing, can you just take two minutes or so and tell us about that Tiny Hands Foundation? Because I'm very intrigued with it.

In fact, I used to do turkeys. Literally, I deliver a turkey for Thanksgiving. I did 50 the next year, I did 100 the year after that. I doubled it every year, 200, 400, 800, 1,600. I paid for it all up to 1,600. That was '07. Then '08 hit. I was in real estate in '08, need I say more. I formed a foundation called The Tiny Hands Foundation. We have now fed, in the last sixteen years, 40,000 kids for the holidays. We've also done thousands of backpacks filled with school supplies. In fact, we're doing 1,500 backpacks to local kids here in Sarasota and Bradenton. It's just astounding to me that children in the United States
