The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Joe Fairless no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Okay. All right. And then, and then what?

A Uh, well, and then as I was actually already investing in real estate on the side, I, um, had purchased my first house in 2009 and, uh, then my second one, third, fourth. So I ended up having four houses at that point, uh, between 2009 and like 2012 or so. Um, and what I realized by purchasing the houses is that I was making like, you know, 200 bucks a month. On average off each of them. And I realized I was gonna have to make a whole lot of, or buy a whole lot of them in order to really achieve some, you know, financial, uh, wealth. And I just wanted to scale quicker. So I started studying apartment buying and investing, and that's what I do now. I raise money from investors and buy apartment communities. Um, and I, uh, so, so the last year of my advertising gig, Um, about October of, um, so I was still having, I still had my advertising gig. I started studying apartment investing. And so while I was transitioning.

Q So what did you leave for? Help us understand how you got into real estate.

A Well, I left for a business that flopped, which is a learning. And I know, you know, we have a lot of, uh, maybe college students or aspiring entrepreneurs, uh, listening, and this is a good lesson that I learned the hard way. It is a lesson I should have learned, um, or should have known already, but perhaps, um, you know, it will be new to someone, uh, as it was me. And that is, um, That I, uh, did not have clients before I had a product. And instead I decided to launch a product without clients and the business flopped. Um, and what, what happened is, you know, I had risen through the ranks as a, you know, marketing, advertising professional in New York city relatively quickly. Uh, so I thought it would be good to consult college students, young professionals on, and teaching them, you know, basically the same thing, how to, how to do what I did But what I failed to realize is that college students and young professionals don't have the money to invest in a consultant to help them along the path. And so I created, before I realized that I created a, a website, um, had a developer paid them about 3000 dollars. Um, and then very quickly in January of 2013. So it took me 30 days to realize that it was just crickets whenever I launched.
