Keith, welcome to the show.<br> <br> Thank you so much for having me today, Marco.<br> <br> It’s great having you on. How’s the weather up there in Anchorage, Alaska?<br> <br> It is a gray, rainy, windy day here, but it didn’t stop me. I just got back from going on a run about an hour ago anyway. I’m feeling invigorated.<br> <br> You like to mountain climb, if I remember right? <br> <br> Yes, that is right. I wasn’t born and raised in Anchorage but I moved here because this place just fits me. I do a lot of mountaineering and skiing here in this city of 300,000, Anchorage Alaska.<br> <br> Only 300,000.

I did not come from an entrepreneurial or a real estate family at all. In 1999, I moved to a place I dreamed of living, Anchorage, Alaska because I had vacationed here four times previously. I was really young when I moved here, I was coming of age. When it’s about time for me to buy my first home, I was hanging out with some friends that were, I guess productive-minded friends, aspirational. Like they say, you are the average of the five people that you spend most time with.<br> <br> <br> <br> Two of my friends, what they had done is they had bought their first home not as a single family home but what they did is they bought a fourplex building. They lived in one unit and rented out the other three. Now, one of my friends really had his act together, and the other was kind of a screw off. I knew if the screw off could do it, I could do it. In 2002,
