In this episode, Rich talks about why you should never listen to your parents, he opens up about his personal experience with his own parents, and a few caveats to this rule. He shares about his decision to cash out his 401k to buy his first deal, leaving his job as an air traffic controller to get started in real estate investing, and who he decided to listen to & who he did not during that process. “Success is not a straight line, and we fail our way to success.”--Connect with Rich on Instagram: @rich_somersInterested in investing with Somers Capital?
