Larry Chiang helps you own real estate with ‘no cash out of pocket’ because of his Jedi in Business Administration ( J.B.A.). Take that $500k you saved from a house ($250k) and an MBA ($250k) and bank all of it because neither Larry Chiang nor his mentor, Mark McCormack, went to Harvard Business. They both espouse, “get a house and an MBA for FREE”. It is “What They Don’t Teach You at Stanford Business School“, but now teach at Stanford Engineering. Similar to a credit bureau dispute written in sharpie on a #10 envelope, Reducing Homeownership Friction is “CS183PITI”.
Real estate!!!
Owning real estate is tougher when your FICO is low.
