TALKING TO GOD ABOUT THE LOTTERY AND REAL ESTATE? WTF? EARNEST MANN'S WALKS AND TALKS PC.2

The Hidden Truth About Real Estate: Greed, Deception, and What You Need to Know

Hello, Earnest Mann here! In this episode, I'm addressing Jimmy from Brooklyn, New York, who asked me about real estate. But instead of focusing on housing prices or buying strategies, I’m peeling back the layers on the psychology of real estate and why the system is deeply flawed.

Why Real Estate is Built on Deception and Greed

The real estate industry isn't just about homes—it's about a feeding frenzy driven by greed. From real estate agents to corporate executives, the system is rigged to ensure you, the buyer, get the scraps. The best properties are swept up before they even hit the market. This isn't just about high commissions; it's about a structural deception that leaves buyers at a severe disadvantage.

The Philosophy Behind Real Estate and Happiness

Buying a home isn’t the key to happiness. Too many people chase homeownership as if it's the ultimate life goal, only to find it doesn’t fulfill them. Instead, I argue for a soul-searching approach to financial decisions, focusing on long-term value and sustainability rather than impulsive purchases.

Beware of the 'Something-for-Nothing' Mindset

Jimmy’s approach reflects a broader problem: people who want everything for nothing. Whether in real estate or any other transaction, this mindset is toxic. Real value requires reciprocity and mutual respect, not entitlement.

If you're ready for honest insights into real estate, human psychology, and life’s harsh realities, this episode is for you.

Transcript

00:00 imagine if you will someone talking to God like this hey God yeah it's Jimmy yeah look I know you're busy and but so am I got a lot of on my plate so anyway if you could just give me the winning lottery numbers for next week's Lottery um you know I'd appreciate it I you know I might go to church you know I gave a a homeless guy a dollar last week so look give me a break right so yeah if you could get that to me next week by for the drawing that would be really great gay thanks that's basically the kind of

00:36 message I just received greetings and thank you for being here in this episode I'm basically going to do two things um I wanted to answer a guy named Jimmy who sent me a question and Jimmy is in Brooklyn New York um and he had a question question about real estate so I'm going to get to uh kind of answering his question and at the same time the second thing is to give

01:41 you uh a heads up about this subject because um it's not a slam bang deal so this is not in and of itself about real estate you might say it's more about the psychology of real estate it is to put your mind at rest so to speak you see there is a philosophy about this and a lot of people simply don't know what I am going to tell you now as far as the Nitty Gritty of real estate is concerned in America in particular it's a very nasty business and I'm going to tell you

02:46 why at least one of the most significant reasons that is because it's built on deceit and anytime you have something that's built on deceit well it's not uh by definition very psychologically healthy let me give you just one very small example if you want to buy a house let's say what most people know or what most people do is they go to a real estate agent but you see that is one of the worst things that you can do to buy a house and the reason why is you are not getting anywhere near the home for the money you want to spend if

03:39 you work with a real estate agent I'm not talking about the obscenely high commissions that real estate agents typically get it's not that at all actually the con is you are getting a very very very overpriced home and you no matter how nice quote unquote the house may seem to you you're getting the scraps because the simple fact of the matter is as far as property is concerned the people who are in the business are in this um this frenzied feeding game you might say kind of like uh think of a frenzy of a shark

04:38 frenzy feeding game and it's their General State of insanity and greed um that they uh you know they tear each other to pieces for anything that is actually good that hits the market so these frenzied um Financial sharks um they're fighting amongst themselves for the good stuff and you get the you are getting the scraps that is the truth if there are any beautiful homes with land and you know that are really idelic and you think oh yeah that would be really nice there gone either from the agents or all the way up typically through the

05:35 company heads the head of the real estate companies and or the corporations which they represent so it's a feeding pyramid and you are all the way down on the bottom so you're approaching this from a very very bad angle to begin with that is a scam that is deception and that explains in a nutshell why going that route is a bad idea but at the moment I'm not going to talk about you know the particulars of real estate and and of itself that is not the real issue here remember when I do the walks and talks Series this is about well it has

06:31 to do more with a bit of soul searching in order to achieve certain goals in your life that is to say you are not going to actually reap true happiness by purchasing a home that's not the answer this is actually something that's being done again for marketing purposes but it's not correct I want to get back to Jimmy for a moment because um if you're listening Jimmy and I assume you are um the answer to all of your multiple questions concerning real estate um I could answer them but I'm not going

07:22 to and I'm not going to because well I'm not going to to answer them Jimmy because of your utter total and complete lack of Civility you're very abrupt very uh primitive I want I want give me give me give me no not interested not for all the tea in China because I don't work that way I'm saying that to you and I'm saying that to anyone else listening out there you see for those of you who are listening to this you have people like Jimmy who basically will ask you a series of questions in your related field or

08:19 something that you actually want to help them with and what it turns out being is being actually pumped for information they have no intention of doing anything for you to help you so they just want a lot of information and then when they get as much as they can they simply say you and toss you aside these are the kind of people I despise I'm interested in people who understand the concept of Tit for Tat not the concept of something for nothing a person has to understand that anything that has value as a commodity

09:08 that many people need or want you don't just simply obtain it by buying it now of course that may seem counter to reality because it does seem as though that's what people do and of course they do but they also so if you'll notice um that's like you're getting something and in a relatively short amount of time you lose it so you know it's like the idea of attrition in a war you uh you you it doesn't matter what you get per se it matters what you're able to keep you can gain an x amount of

09:59 position or or land strategically when you're fighting war and having battles but it's not so much the territory that you temporarily gain it's what you're able to keep so without that then the point is mve I mean imagine this imagine if you uh you know you went to your car mechanic or a car mechanic and you said hey I got this problem here and uh you know how much to fix it and he says gives you you know an estimate and says okay it's going to cost you this much well you don't like that amount it's

10:48 $500 700 whatever it may be you don't like that so just in a real friendly annoy Annoying a really annoyingly friendly fake friendly kind of disingenuous way you start taking his time by asking him about the part where can you get the part how much is just the part cost how do you put it on etc etc and you see what's happening here is you're taking his time and his knowledge and his expertise but what's irritating him is he quickly uh figures this out is that again you're one of those people that want something or

11:40 nothing and if any of you out there can actually relate to what I'm saying as far as this is concerned these people are really really you should avoid them at all cost so that's what I mean by for instance the philosophy of let's say real estate I mean you want to buy a home great fine there's so many different ways that you can actually go about getting a home certainly besides me but are you going to be happy with that home or perhaps even more importantly are you going to be able to keep that home now again I'm not talking

12:29 about the uh the snakes out here that are again in this insane business of flipping because people that flip properties basically and I know they'll they'll say otherwise but I don't really give a what they say they'll flip anything anything it becomes the mindset in them than anything they can flip that includes relationships people to stantly keep flipping and getting you know an advantage that's their whole existence that's how shallow and meaningless they are so you might want to avoid

13:15 them so yeah Jimmy as far as real estate is concerned you have the money and you want a certain house and you want this this that and the other yeah well people in Hell want ice water Jimmy but the thing is this are you willing to actually do something for me I'll just wrap this up by saying this if you're on the Titanic and you know someone who has access to lifeboats and not a lot of people know that as the ship is going going down and you actually are able to find the person who has the lifeboats are you going to pay them what

14:09 they want for the Lifeboat or are you going to stand there like a imbecile and start haggling just a thought so to continue to be edicated about life's realities Park your ass here every Monday and Friday on YouTube or my podcast and please subscribe and hit that notification Bell because that really helps the channel grow which means I can continue to do more for you now if you're having a hard time with life's adversities reach out to me via my website contact page in the description below and I'll get back to you you as

One of the many things I enjoy doing in life, is helping other people the best way I know how, by offering people a sanctuary of sanity in a world gone mad.

You see, I have found, that there can be amazing relevant connections in our everyday life, from very unlikely sources, meaning people that on the surface you might think would absolutely have nothing in common with you, but having a discussion with them, ended up benefiting my life, just with the exact information, and at the exact time I needed it! I'm telling you, you will be amazed at how communications with many life experiences can positively affect and improve your life! That is why I created The Earnest Mann Show, a place where we can talk about anything. From history, to current events, economics, politics and religion, to sex with space aliens, you name it, the topics for discussion are only as limited as our imagination, and your input, so leave a comment, because your opinion matters, in this big beautiful world we all share.
