Waching daily Dec 29 2018

Happy New Years everyone!

It's that time of year to talk about how this past year's been, specifically movie

wise.

And overall I gotta say, this year was a bit disappointing in terms of a lot of the big

blockbusters.

While some were fantastic and some were fantastically terrible, there were a lot that were just

kind of….yeah it's alright.

But hey today is not top 10 movies of 2018 that were just yeah alright, it's the top

10 best movies of 2018.

If you wanna just skip to the list, you can click to this timecode since that's why people

came here, but I do have some stuff I wanna say some stuff before we get into it.

A) these aren't the most technically well made movies of the year, these are my favorites.

A lot of those are technically incredibly well made, but I just wanna say that cuz I

know with a few of these people will get upset that they're above something like First

Man.

Yeah spoilers, First Man didn't make my list, even though it's pretty good. B)

I'm actually going to be making a 2018 movie review catch up video at some point early

next year, where I'll review the movies I didn't get to talk about this year, so if

there's a movie on here that I haven't reviewed that you want my more in depth thoughts

on, it'll be in that video.

C) As with every year there are a number of films I haven't seen yet.

As someone of my age with school and social life and all that, I just can't see every

movie that comes out.

So here's the list of films I haven't seen that may have made my list if I had.

Yeah sorry, just couldn't do it.

And finally D) after the list I'm gonna doa little 2018 recap for my channel like

I did last year and a mini Q&A just to wrap up the year, so stick around for that after

the list if you care.

Anyway that's why this video is so long.

Alright, with all of that said, let's finally get into this list.

10) Game Night.

This was one of the biggest surprises of the year for me, because I did not think that

trailer looked great.

But after all the buzz I watched it and it's one of the funniest films of the year.

It's not just a standard comedy though, the style is what puts this film up a notch,

I stand by what I said on Twitter, this is a lot like an Edgar Wright movie in terms

of some of the stylistic choices, and that's a big compliment.

The plot is clever and full of twists, all the main performances are likable and funny,

Todd from Breaking Bad is amazing.

It's a wild, creative, hilarious ride and I'd highly recommend it.

Also one of my favorite opening scenes of the year.

9) Incredibles 2.

Now I know this is where some people are gonna tune out of this list because although there

was a generally very positive response to this film, there's has been a bit of backlash,

and I can absolutely understand some of the criticism people have with this film, especially

in regards to parts of the plot.

However, this was one of my most anticipated movies ever and while it definitely isn't

as good as the first it didn't disappoint me.

Yeah some personal nostalgia will come into my enjoyment but everyone is going to have

that with some films and I don't think using nostalgia is inherently a bad thing.

I don't feel like the whole movie was built on it, when there were moments highlighting

the nostalgia or calling back to the first film for the most part it worked for the story.

The music is also fantastic as is the animation, some of the best animation in any film all

year (with some very creative uses of it in the action scenes), and the film took these

characters that I know and love in interesting new directions that I thought both built on

their characters and didn't feel out of character for them.

So yeah, I had a ton of fun with it, not only as a really good animated film but also as

a really good follow up to one of my favorite films of all time.

8) Blackkklansman.

This is a film that mixes comedy and suspense really well, it's a very funny film but

it never feels goofy or sacrifices tension for a joke.

It's also brought up by two fantastic performances from John David Washington and Adam Driver,

actually not just those two but all the performances are fantastic, Topher Grace, Laura Harrier,

everyone.

It's exciting and very well paced, I wasn't bored once.

And the fact that this is all based on a true story of course isn't what makes it a good

film, but it's fascinating to think about that some of this stuff actually happened.

My favorite based on a true story film I've seen this year, check it out!

7) Upgrade.

Honestly I don't even know if this is underrated anymore because I've heard so many people

talking about it being one of the most underrated movies of the year that I imagine a lot of

people have seen it now.

Still, it's awesome.

It's Dredd meets John Wick meets a better version of Venom, and that all adds up to

a fantastic action film.

The story and ending are interesting, the action is phenomenal, brutal, and shot in

some really cool ways, it's funny in a pretty dark way sometimes, and the world it builds

is pretty fascinating.

Which is part of where the Dredd comparison comes in for me.

I don't wanna spoil anything else, it's great, go watch it, if you've got the stomach

for some pretty brutal kills.

6) Sorry to Bother You.

Ok these next two I really don't wanna say a lot about, because I feel like they're

better the less you know about them going in.

If you haven't seen Sorry to Bother You, don't look anything up about it online,

just sit down and enjoy what is probably the weirdest movie I've seen all year, and I

mean that wholeheartedly in a good way.

Besides the great performances, the world this movie builds and the way it's presented

and the turns the story takes, it's just incredible and I can't do it justice by

talking about it so I won't, just watch it.

All I'll say is this was one of the films this year that stuck with me the most, I was

thinking about this for weeks after I saw it.

5) Searching.

Another film I really don't wanna say much on.

I think this was one of the biggest surprises for me, and that's probably cuz the Unfriended

films have created the effect where I see a film told from like a screen recording POV

and I instantly just associate it with terrible filmmaking.

But I'm glad this movie broke that for me, because this showed that that style of filmmaking,

if used correctly, can actually be used to tell a story in an incredibly creative, interesting,

and innovative kind of way.

Beyond that though, the movie's suspenseful, it's a mystery film where I didn't predict

the ending, there are clever twists and funny moments throughout, and the thing that stuck

out to me is how emotional the film is.

Quite a few parts of this film, especially the ending, made me actually choke up, which

I really wasn't expecting.

So yeah, watch Searching, it's a brilliant film.

4) Creed 2.

Now look, this is an interesting case, because while this is a really great film, I don't

think it's necessarily better or better made than something like Searching or Sorry

to Bother You.

But here's where more of that subjectivity comes in, because Creed is one of my favorite

films of all time and this sequel actually managed to live up to my hype, even if it

wasn't as good as the first.

I feel like it did a good job of continuing to flesh out the characters from the first,

namely Adonis himself, I loved his arc in this film, the antagonists were better than

the one from the first Creed, both Ivan and Victor Drago were not only terrifying but

also interesting characters, and that training montage and final fight might be as good as

those from the first film, and that's saying something.

Quick related sidenote, the worst thing to me is a film that just makes me feel nothing.

I can love a terrible movie almost as much as I love a genuinely great movie, because

they both make me feel things in different ways.

Namely hilarity in some cases.

But when something is just whatever, I really dislike that.

And my point here is, this was one of the films that made me actually feel something

the most this year.

That final fight, with the actual boxing match but also the culmination of Adonis' arc

throughout the whole film, it made me feel that same energy and excitement that the first

Creed made me feel, and I absolutely loved that.

I do have some small problems with the film, but overall I left the cinema with a huge

smile on my face, and it gave me pretty much everything I wanted.

3) Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse.

Now I'll be honest, this top 3 I have been switching around for weeks now and tomorrow

I may very well have a different order.

But the exact ranking doesn't matter so much to me, what matters most is that all three

of these are fantastic movies that I loved and Into the Spider-Verse definitely falls

into that category.

The animation style, the action scenes, the characters, the pacing, the heart, the humor,

the voice acting, besides like the smallest of nitpicks, I don't think there's anything

I disliked in this movie.

It's a movie for everyone too, it's not just for kids although kids will love it,

teens, adults, whoever, it's not just a good superhero movie or a good animated movie.

It's just a good movie, period.

2) Avengers Infinity War.

At this point, is there much to say that hasn't been said already, by most people or me on

this channel?

I'm a big MCU fan, obviously, and this was the epic culmination of the universe I've

been following since 2012 when I was 10 years old, and it was a pretty amazing culmination

at that.

I've seen this movie four or five times throughout the year at this point, and each

time I'm not only incredibly entertained but also incredibly impressed, at how this

comes together.

Not just all the heroes from the core Avengers to the Guardians to Black Panther to Spider-Man

to Doctor Strange coming together in interesting and satisfying ways, but then also character

arcs coming full circle for tons of different characters from different films, themes and

plot lines all being brought together naturally, all while keeping it funny, exciting, emotional,

I mean it's just a mindblowing achievement.

It also gives some of the best moments in the MCU to date, some of the best action scenes,

and an ending that genuinely surprised most people, which is hard to do in one of these

films these days.

I can only imagine how difficult it would've been to make this film good, let alone great,

and I'm happy to say they pulled it off.

Now before I get to my number 1, here are some honorable mentions, other films this

year that were great and some of them I really wanted to get on the list, but hey there are

only ten spots.

Won't You Be My Neighbor.

A really powerful documentary about Mr Rogers, who was not only a really big part of my childhood

but also just one of the best people in the entertainment business maybe ever.

Even if you didn't watch Mr Rogers growing up, it's a beautiful true story that'll

make you feel good about people and humanity.

Isle of Dogs.

An incredibly weird but beautifully animated and told story, with great voice acting, emotion,

and I can't stress how fantastic the animation is.

Disclaimer though, not a kid's movie.

A Star is Born.

This was the one closest to making my list, because it's really well made, well paced,

emotional, and has two of the best performances of the year.

I probably should've known this but I didn't know that Lady Gaga was a fantastic actress.

Deadpool 2.

I know Deadpool may be starting to wear out his welcome just a little, or at least people

just didn't like that PG-13 cut, but what can I say, I had a blast with this movie.

It's exactly what I wanted, it made me laugh, it had some cool action, it's Deadpool.

Hasn't really stuck with me and I haven't felt the urge to go back to it which is why

it's not on the main list, but still, another great comic book film.

Eighth Grade.

Really sweet and heartfelt film.

If you liked Edge of Seventeen, this has a similar tone and themes, check it out.

First Man.

Yeah like I said, not on the main list but it's still here because it's excellently

made with fantastic performances and effects.

The reason this isn't on the main list is that it left me feeling kind of underwhelmed?

The best movies or at least my personal favorites, kind of like what I was talking about with

the Creed thing, are movies that make me feel something and that stick with me and that

I go back to.

Good examples would be Damien Chazelle's other two movies.

So yes while this is a very good film, I came out of it thinking, alright, that was a movie,

time to go home now, and that was about it.

So it's in the honorable mentions.

Bohemian Rhapsody.

Very entertaining biopic carried by a phenomenal main performance.

A Quiet Place.

No this is not just here cuz I love Jim from the Office.

A fun horror film with some really tense scenes, good performances and some pretty solid emotional

moments.

Also great effects for a film with such a small budget.

And Bumblebee.

Really fun action blockbuster with great characters, humor, and heart.

It's a good movie by most standards and a fantastic movie by Transformers standards.

And now number 1.

What could possibly beat Avengers Infinity War and Into the Spider-Verse?

Well, it would take something special, like an insane Muppet man, and some kind of legendary

mustache.

Yes, Mission Impossible Fallout is my favorite film of the year.

The thing is, this year there wasn't really THAT movie that I would give a 10/10 and is

way above the rest, like Baby Driver or La La Land, at least not one I've seen yet.

Like I said, these top three I like pretty equally.

I just had an absolute blast watching this one, not once, not twice, but three times

in the cinema.

I don't do that very often or really ever, and the thing is I enjoyed it equally pretty

much every time.

It's everything I want from a film like this, it's got fantastic action with practical

effects and stunts, funny moments, great characters, gorgeous locations, awesome music, a good

villain, this is one of my favorite franchises, it's one of my favorite genres of film,

and this is pretty much everything I wanted to see.

The film as a whole is fantastic and then when thinking back on it you remember so many

awesome moments, like the bathroom fight or the helicopter finale or the mask scenes or

when Henry Cavill does this, which still is the moment that got the most audience reaction

out of any film I've seen this year.

Of course it isn't perfect but no movie is.

It's a damn good time that's really well made and I don't know if there's much

else to say.

Mission Impossible Fallout is amazing.

Alright, so those were my 10 favorite films from this past year.

Hope you enjoyed the video!

Now as is becoming tradition for this channel, I'm gonna do a little end of year look back

retrospective on the channel and YouTube in general for me in 2018 and do a mini Q&A,

so, if you were just here for the list, thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed, the rest of

this is unrelated.

But for those of you who care, stick around and hope you enjoy this.

Also, I'm doing it with my face in the video, so if you haven't seen my face yet and don't

want the mystery ruined, yeah I'd click off

of

this now.

Alright, so….let's do this.

-------------------------------------------

What makes Rewind 2018 the most disliked video yet - Duration: 13:32.

Ay, it's Will Smith!

Our no. 1 and beloved YouTuber on the platform.

What could go wrong?

"Fortnite and Marques Brownlee"

Oh, so that's why.

YouTube wraps up all the highlights that happened each year with Rewind, and it's considered

as the biggest celebration on the platform year-ends.

Its first Rewind was in 2010 and 2012 marked the year where they increased the production

budget to create what it is known today.

But why is 2018's Rewind such a mess?

To answer that, we have to look at how YouTube evolves with its content creators.

YouTube was officially launched in 2005, created by Jawed Karim, Steve Chen and Chad Hurley,

a website where everyone can share their videos with anyone easily.

Google, one of the major tech companies in the world, acquired YouTube in October 2006.

During this period, we've seen some of the classic memes and viral videos which defined

YouTube in the 2000s.

The birth of viral videos has opened the doors to other viral videos, one after another,

and it is indeed a platform where anyone can be a star.

On May 2007, YouTube started to pay content creators with its own monetization program,

and YouTubers can now earn money by recording and uploading videos on the platform.

Ads now began to roll after the program started.

And this is where YouTube saw a bigger change.

The late 2000s saw some of the first content creators, or the OG YouTubers, with millions

of subscribers.

Ryan Higga, Shane Dawson, Fred, and Smosh were among the most subscribed YouTube channels

during this time.

Also, in this era, higher production value, HQ videos and better video editing started

to become a norm for YouTube videos, and YouTubers started to upload their contents weekly with

a fixed schedule to maximize viewer counts.

Early versions of commentary videos, vlogs, and comedy skits were everywhere.

With the increasing number of daily users, more and more videos are being uploaded every

second.

During this era, we saw the rise of gaming channels, and Pewdiepie comes first to mind

when everyone hears the phrase "YouTube gaming".

He became and still is the no. 1 subscribed YouTuber since September 2013, dethroning

Smosh.

He is the face of YouTube.

He is the king and no one can beat this indie creator.

But this YouTuber also faced something that everyone was afraid of later in his career.

One word, the "adpocalypse".

It was such a depressing time for YouTubers.

Advertisers such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Dr. Pepper started to pull out ads from YouTube.

Demonetization became a meme and one person was blamed for the incident.

That person is none other than the king of YouTube, Pewdiepie.

Various news outlets attacked him mercilessly, and the Wall Street Journal started the whole

"PewDiePie is a Nazi" thing.

Adpocalypse did not start because of PewDiePie's infamous video, where he made a Nazi joke,

but rather the incident when big companies' advertisements were shown on controversial

contents (one of them being Chief Keef Dancing to Alabama N****r).

Then, in New Year 2018, we have the infamous Aokigahara forest incident, which added more

fuel to the already blazing fire.

As a result, YouTube's Partner program increased their requirements from 10,000 lifetime views to

4,000 hours total watch time in the past 12 months and a minimum of 1,000 subscribers.

Smaller creators suffered from this the most, although the change is necessary to avoid

such controversy to be happening again.

YouTube is becoming more and more distant from its community, and one way to see that

is through YouTube's own year-in-review, the Rewind.

It is created and produced by YouTube themselves and also with the help of Portal A Interactive.

2010 was the fetus Rewind, it was the first and it was... nothing.

It's a simple video showcasing the top 10 videos that were trending or viral on that

year.

It's like any other listicles but it's simple, minimalistic and, pretty much a year-in-review.

In 2011, YouTube invited Rebecca Black to host Rewind that year, and like the previous

Rewind, it's a listicle which shows the top 10 viral videos that year.

People during that time actually hated the video because the host is the singer of the

worst song ever, Friday

...and this is where it got bigger.

2012, Gangnam Style.

Boom!

We have a perfect template for future Rewinds.

They increased the production value and it turned out to be great.

This was the first time they included content creators in the video and made a song mashup

and everyone is dancing and everything about it is so energetic.

Rewind 2013 saw more YouTubers, and they introduced non-Youtuber such as talk show hosts and Sesame

Streets characters.

It's a fine addition since their screen time is actually quite short.

This is also the first time they introduced the official YouTube Rewind logo.

The cute little Obama Kid hits the Rewind button and it's the most epic, the most uplifting

video at that time as viewers and fans of their content creators were all hyped.

And the video ends with Pewdiepie burying the button, and coincidentally a perfect foreshadowing

of the near future of YouTube.

The following years pretty much followed the same formula.

The colors are bright, the music is epic and they also started to include more memes into

Rewind.

2014 is opened by Pewdiepie, parodying the TDFW music video, and then he falls into a

classroom.

Everyone starts to dance and you can feel the emotion, the hype from the video.

2015 features more memes and gaming channels.

Nothing much has changed but it is better than the previous ones.

2015 also marks the 10th anniversary of YouTube, and they referenced some of the past viral

videos in Rewind 2015.

So far, so good.

In 2016, they feature more and more YouTubers that their screentime is less than a couple

of seconds.

More things are happening in the video, and memes get more spotlight too.

They also got Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson to open Rewind that year.

2017... it received backlash from fans as PewDiePie [and other Youtubers] wasn't in it and they chose to feature

family-friendly YouTubers more.

The Paul Bros somehow got featured in Rewind even though their video quality is pretty

mediocre.

More non-YouTuber celebrities are featured and it shows how YouTube is becoming disconnected

from the community.

But everyone didn't know what comes next.

Rewind 2018 quickly became the most disliked YouTube video on the platform.

No one likes it, and that's just me being generous.

The video feels different.

It does not feel like a Rewind video.

It is an utter mess.

Will Smith isn't a YouTuber, Ninja isn't a YouTuber.

Talk show hosts aren't YouTubers.

The massive dislikes the video got reflects how YouTube has become out of touch with its

own platform; it is now an advertising platform.

Will Smith, Fortnite, Kpop, forced propaganda; they're all cringy.

The video centers around Fortnite heavily, reminiscent of Rewind 2012 with Gangnam Style.

It doesn't have anything much to it, other than the fact that YouTubers "control" Rewind

on a campsite.

The video is less colorful, a bit dark and bland.

You can't feel the vibe from the video, unlike previous Rewinds.

The settings are less compared to previous ones.

Kpop has always been big.

This year BTS has finally broken into the American market.

But Rewind only referenced BTS, which does not reflect Kpop as a whole.

Besides, Girls Generation was featured in Rewind 2014.

Honestly, the Kpop scene in Rewind is cringy because only BTS can rock the visuals and

aesthetics.

YouTube finally included animations, which is good

but it won't change the fact that the whole video is a mess.

Then there's the "emotional" campfire scene and it feels forced.

Take a look at Rewind 2011 and Rewind 2017.

See how they're different from 2018?

Rewind 2018 executed it very badly.

It's better to show, rather than talking in front of the camera because the emotion is

in the videos, unscripted and unfiltered, not through scripts and the mouths of YouTubers.

Mental health is no joke.

Everyone should be aware of it.

But YouTube suddenly cared for them and it feels fake since these YouTubers are reading

from a script.

Asian representation.

OK, what does this have to do with YouTube?

Crazy Rich Asians is the only movie that is very Asian this year, so I'm not sure what's

the impact that it has on YouTube.

Female empowerment is on the rise these days and it's good, although it can be quite toxic

sometimes.

Rewind 2018 however made it into a feminist propaganda bait.

I'm quite puzzled when they mentioned drags empowerment.

I don't remember drags being impactful on YouTube this year.

And after the scene ends, they decided to read the comments, RIGHT AFTER THEY TALK ABOUT

MENTAL HEALTH.

Everyone knows the no. 1 rule to taking care of your mental health on the internet is to

NOT read the comments.

Plus the comments shown on the video aren't real.

Who commented this?

Who wants Will Smith in Rewind?

Nobody.

And the irony of the whole video is...

when in reality none of the viewers really asked for these.

And somehow YouTube unconsciously referenced the Aokigahara forest controversy in Rewind.

PewDiePie once again wasn't in Rewind 2018 but he himself said that he's glad he's not in the

cringy video.

Thankfully Jaiden Animation featured PewDiePie's chair in her scene.

KSI vs LP and the iconic Shane Dawson documentary series are also two of the biggest events

on YouTube in 2018 but YouTube didn't reference them at all.

Jaiden Animation had put some Easter eggs in her scene, and she became the savior of

Rewind 2018... well not really but everyone is thankful for that.

From a humble beginning to the very messy love-hate relationship with its community,

it has become into a giant corporation which

relies heavily on advertisements to pay YouTubers.

When we take a look back at previous Rewinds, it

seems a like a big party where all YouTubers can have fun with themselves and their achievements.

Rewind 2018 feels claustrophobic and empty because it doesn't feel like Rewind, it feels

like an advertisement.

-------------------------------------------

Empress Jito | History of Japan 30 - Duration: 7:37.

Murder, schemes, and political maneuvering, executed with ruthlessness and competence.

That described Empress Jito, the third female empress of Japan.

She was daughter to Emperor Tenji.

When Tenji died, he left the throne to his son.

Tenji's brother didn't like Tenji's son very much and thought,

"Well, why don't I just kill him?"

And he did.

It was called the Jinshin War, and afterwards the brother became Emperor Tenmu.

Tenmu turned out to be a skillful leader, and so too was his beloved consort, Jito.

She was 29.

Yes, she married her uncle, but this was normal for the Imperial House.

From the beginning, it was clear that she was no passive wife.

Don't ask her for sandwiches.

The historical texts say she followed Tenmu to the battlefront whenever he went to war.

Although she didn't fight herself, she addressed the troops and mingled with the men.

She and Tenmu strategized together, it was really cute.

"Shall we attack their flanks, honey?"

"No, let's use a pincer move and ram our pincers up their--"

Off the battlefield, Jito was a masterful politician.

It seems she and Tenmu governed jointly.

In the historical texts, we see them announce administrative laws, addressing their subjects

jointly, like equals.

Jito was a good mother.

And what do all good mothers do?

Tuck you into bed, make your lunches,

and orchestrate the elimination of your political

rivals to ensure that you sit on the throne.

Jito had one son, Prince Kusakabe, and she was determined to make him the next emperor.

Now Tenmu had many consorts and children, but he eventually made Kusakabe the crown

prince, his heir to the throne.

You can bet Jito had something to do with it.

They groomed Kusakabe for leadership, giving him administrative jobs.

They also made a bunch of Tenmu's sons swear that they agree with Kusakabe being the crown

prince.

Near the end of his reign, Tenmu announced that Jito and Kusakabe would handle all state

affairs.

However, Kusakabe's future was not yet secure.

Kusakabe had health issues, making him a less desirable candidate.

And there was an up-and-comer, this accursed little hotshot named Prince Otsu, who was

very capable, much more than Kusakabe.

This is only my guess, but Kusakabe seemed like the spoiled son whose parents wanted

him to take over the family business, but everyone knew he'd just end up mucking everything

up.

That's probably why when Emperor Tenmu died, Kusakabe did not succeed his father.

We can imagine there was opposition to him, people may have preferred Prince Otsu instead.

Jito, being the imposing figure that she was, immediately took over the reins of government,

she wasn't even officially enthroned.

She became a regent, a temporary ruler.

It was bad news for the capable Prince Otsu.

Jito wasted no time.

She accused Otsu of plotting a rebellion and forced him to commit suicide.

Historians widely believe that these were false charges to remove Otsu the Obstacle.

Unfortunately, all her scheming was for naught.

Kusakabe later died,

from karma.

Okay it could have been from his poor health, it could also have been foul play.

Whatever it was, Jito's pride and joy was gone, so she finally took the throne herself

and became empress.

Turned out she was a superb leader.

She continued implementation of the Kiyomihara Codes.

These were laws passed under Tenmu based on Chinese ideas of the centralized state.

In the Nara Period, Japan was still in the middle of trying to create a strong central

authority that could curb the influence of the powerful clans.

She instituted wide-reaching tax and land reforms to support raising troops and making

a strong bureaucracy.

She also built the first large Chinese-style capital: Fujiwara-kyo.

This was Japan's capital before it moved to Nara.

Before Fujiwara-kyo, the capital moved whenever a new emperor came to power, it was little

more than the emperor's residence.

Fujiwara-kyo was different.

It was much bigger and it became the capital for three consecutive rulers.

Now Kusakabe had a son before he died, making him Jito's grandson.

And Jito would love nothing more than to have her grandson rule after her.

Problem was, her husband Tenmu had been very...

active...

when he was alive.

Tenmu the Thirsty had many sons and among them were many strong contenders for emperorship.

And they all had to go, thought Jito.

Killing them wasn't an option, there were too many, and it would be a little suspicious

if Tenmu's sons started dying randomly.

No, she needed a different plan.

A more clever one.

She used the fact that her father Tenji was a popular emperor.

Before Tenji died, he had appointed his son as crown prince.

She and her supporters claimed that by doing this, Tenji had wanted to establish a rule

to be obeyed thereafter:

a son should follow his father as emperor.

Let's ignore the fact that her own husband, Tenmu, took the throne from Tenji's son.

Empress Jito also created a National Memorial Day for her dead son Kusakabe.

Such a day was reserved for emperors, so she kind of shoe-horned him in as an emperor after

his death.

This also meant that it made her role as empress something like a placeholder until the next

male emperor takes power.

We would see future empresses follow suit with this placeholder role.

All this had a purpose.

If we go by Tenji's rule that a son should follow the father, since Kusakabe was the

previous emperor, it made only Kusakabe's son legitimate.

This eliminated all of Tenmu's sons.

And for the coup de grace, Jito abdicated the throne in favor of her grandson, who became

Emperor Monmu.

Before Jito, the next emperor usually came to power after the previous one died.

Jito didn't wait.

Again, Jito started a trend where future empresses would abdicate the throne instead of ruling

until death.

This made a lot of sense, actually, if you wanted to make sure the right person succeeded

you.

Empress Jito continued to be an influential leader in court, and allied herself with the

up-and-coming Fujiwara clan, particularly Fujiwara no Fuhito.

She helped them marry into the Imperial Family, and they helped with her plans.

Fujiwara power only grew from here on out.

Even on her deathbed, Empress Jito reiterated the father-to-son succession rule, always

looking out for her family.

Then she said,

"Get me a drink, I need to relax now."

Yoga Date with Malaika Arora & Malini's Girl Tribe | MissMalini - Duration: 5:41.

Hi! This is Malini

and this is one of my favorite days

because the girl tribe has a yoga date

with Malaika Arora today

Infact, we are here at Diva Yoga

her amazing new studio

all women studio

and it's all about wellness and fitness

in 2019

about being your best self

So today come and join us

because the Girl Tribe is doing a Yoga class

with Malaika

Come with me!

Hello

Hello

Thank you so much for having us

We're twinning!

We're fully twinning

Except I don't have abs so I'm just going to sit like this

This does not feel like a Yoga studio

It feels like a Spa

Was that the plan?

Well, that was also one of the ideas behind it

That why should it have to be one of those

confined areas where you feel like you wanna run away

I think you know the whole point was

come, enjoy, relax, unwind

do your yoga, feel good about yourself

and I think that's what this place is

and I love that it's a space for girls

so all women yoga studio

And I love this because as you can see

this is the Girl Tribe behind you

Yaay Girl Tribe!

I love this space, I already feel like it has like

This is going to be my 2019 goal

to look like you in 25 years

No, you don't have to look like me

but you just have to come over here and

give it a start

I think that's the most important

That's what I tell everybody

Start.

Atleast start somewhere

and then after that we'll see where it goes

and I love working out and doing Yoga with

a whole lot of women because

there's a certian energy that flows in the room

which is really essential.

Absolutely! And that's literally the basis of the Girl Tribe

Good energy and you know

They can meet in 5 seconds and girls just become

friends and they become sort of partners in crime

and 2019 is really, I believe the year

where women need to look into themselves

into wellness and feel better and look better

Absolutely! Just feel good about yourself

Don't neglect yourself

Give yourself a little bit of that extra effort

and time and I think that really take you

very very far and I think that's what

The Diva Yoga is all about

where we I mean...Start today. 2019 is just around the

corner so If you start today you will step into the year

feeling and believing wonderful about yourself

and you'll actually see that glow

You will see that glow

Your co-founder Sarvesh was telling me that

you actually have very unique programs here

You don't repeat the class

No! It's literally like everytime you come in class

you have something different to look forward to

We use props, we have various things that we do in

the studio

Our trainers are really fantastic and yes that is the most

That is the philosophy behind our schedule

where we something new everytime you step

into the studio

So let's do this!

Stretch like warriors, the girl tribe warriors

Open your eyes

And open your eyes looking at your palm

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

That was amazing

Did you enjoy it?

I did

You know what I really liked best is that

there was so much variety

and I didn't know what was coming next

but I've never done this with like a stick

because I think the stick also helps you have balance

which I normally wouldn't have thought of doing

And the Arial Yoga, that was so cool

Like you really feel like you're floating

We didn't actually do the yoga

all we did was the relaxing

and I think that is the best part of it

Thank you so much for this!

Ladies did y'all enjoy it?

Ya did you guys like it?

I can't hear you at all

Amazing!

I love the enthusiasm

I have a little something special for y'all

and that is, each one of you lovely ladies

gets 5 free sessions at The Diva Yoga

Yaay!

I love it and that's why I always say you know

Women support Women

and whether it's my tribe or your amazing tribe

here at Diva Yoga

We're all going to support each other here

Grow your Small YouTube Channel in 2019 - the Growth Hack that NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT - Duration: 2:30.

hey everyone it's melissa here and i don't know about you but i have been

seeing a lot of videos giving suggestions to people like me who are

new youtubers about how they can be better new youtubers and let me tell you

all of those videos are fine and good and i think there's a lot that you can

learn but no one is talking about my number one tip so i couldn't wait any

longer i am still a small youtuber but i have to tell you about this one tip that

in my little universe has shown a huge amount of growth and has really knocked

my socks off when i've seen it in action my tip that you need to know for 2019 as

a youtuber is use the comments section of your videos as a questions section

just let that sink in for a moment use the comments section as a question

section so I learned this tip in action by an amazing youtuber who is super

different from me but super lovable and her name of her channel is sensible

living with money mom she is a financial youtuber putting out content every day

and more than that she is putting out so much love on her YouTube channel and so

much caring about her viewers and so much success and growth so when I saw

this in action on her channel I started trying it on my YouTube channels and lo

and behold in addition to doing all the things I should be doing like nice

thumbnails and good content and great production value I also started just

asking my viewers questions and so from having one comment I suddenly had two

comments when I responded to those commenters and that led to three

comments when I responded to a comment with a question so I just wanted to put

this really simple tip out there it is not rocket science I am NOT an a

superstar youtuber yet I'm still very much in growth mode but I have to call

it like I see it and this is an amazing tip and it has shown results for me on

my channels it has helped me connect with my viewers and learn more about

them it has helped them feel more engaged and connected with me and it's just been

a lot more fun so try it let me know what you think about it let me know if

you're doing this and let me know who you are and what you thought of

this video give it a thumbs up if you liked it hit subscribe if you want to

stick around I'm here to give you practical advice from my perspective as

just a little mommy on YouTube so thank you so much and I'll see you in the new

year and I hope you start answering those comments with a question

JUST KEEP STUDYING! - Study Motivation - Duration: 4:12.

you keep studying no matter how rough the sea you keep studying no matter how

many people are telling you you can't do it you keep studying what if you can

pull this off what if you can become the very person you dream of it starts as

soon as your alarm clock goes off you have a decision to make and it takes

discipline to do this to really commit to having a productive day to get up to

make every single minute of your day count and you got to do this every

single day no matter what it takes no matter what obstacles get in your way

no matter what your friends say no matter what your classmates say a

constant fight that just doesn't stop against a weakness against

procrastination and laziness it's a campaign of hard work and dedication

it's waking up early and going to bed late and studying every second in

between the fulfillment of your dreams lies within you and you alone whether

you pass your exams or failure exams is yours you need to be persistent about

what it is that you want to achieve you have got to make a declaration that this

is what you stand for you want it and you're going to give it everything

you've got to achieve it I didn't say it was going to be easy if it was easy

everybody would be doing if you want the a grades and the 4.0 GPA

if you really want it if you're not just saying but deep down you feel it within

you there's gonna be sacrificed there's gonna be work and you're going to have

to make tough decisions and you're going to have to be patient but if you can

combine those three things that's what makes great things happen that's what

builds extraordinary lines create the highest grandest vision possible because

you become what you believe no matter how crazy it might sound to the other

people think about it carefully who do you want to be what makes you happy

keep pushing because you believe in yourself and your vision it needs to be

clear to you you need to know exactly what you want you know what it tastes

like and smells like but you're never going to be able to do it if you keep

making the wrong decisions if you keep procrastinating and wasting time doing

things that don't align you with your end goal you want to achieve exceptional

grades from now on it's on you you can make it happen you've got the power to

do that you can change things for you it doesn't matter what grades you got in

the past it doesn't matter see when you acknowledge it and say hey

it's me I'm the one that determines the outcome

I've got to do this I have some obstacles in front of me I know it's not

gonna be easy but ultimately these obstacles are not gonna slow me down

just when you feel like you've done your last hour of studying or read the last

passage in the textbook and your brain is telling you you can't study anymore

you say yeah got to do just a little bit more make

this year the year that you commit to yourself that you're going to make

progress it just takes discipline and outright

dedication if you can commit to winning every single day for the entire year in

365 days your life will be drastically different I don't care who you are

or which country you're from or how old you are it's the same for everyone if

you're going to have the energy and the passion to drive through the day working

at 100% effort you've got to wake up every single day and start with that

vision because right now while you're quitting the next person will be studied

while you're quitting and giving up while you're saying alright that's

enough it's time to rest the next person is just getting started

somebody's gonna win you or him it's very simple

the person who wins is the person who wants it the most

SHE'S ALSO A CASH BUYER!! Wholesale Real Estate | Interviewing Dara Abasute From ATL!! - Duration: 53:22.

What's going on guys it's ya man Ed Hayes The Wholesale Coach here back with another video and in this video

you're gonna be able to watch the wholesaling

mastermind group with me and Dora Abasute guys she's a wholesaler out in

Atlanta guys she's gonna be big so go ahead and subscribe to her channel now I'm gonna have all of the links down below guys

and if you pumped for this content go ahead hit that like button now and smack that subscribe button if you new guys

let's go ahead and dive into this content I

apologize in advance for a little bit of the audio quality my audio and video was a little bit messed up

in the wholesale a mastermind group last week guys so

Forgive me but Dora's audio and her video flowed nice and smoothly guys she also posted this video on her channel

like I said go ahead and follow her channel as well guys

And let's go ahead and dive into this concept I think that this would be the appropriate time to

actually you know try to introduce you to the

to the whole seller mastermind and try to

you know kind of get the interview going and then start answering some questions and stuff like that from there let's do it

So yeah yeah, I just want to introduce you you know. I've found dora on youtube

And she's a whole sellable why don't you actually introduce yourself

So the whole seller master man I don't want to do it for you let me not take

Sure

Sure

hello everyone I am Dara and as he mentioned he found me on

YouTube which is great because if he didn't say that I was gonna ask that

So that's one of my nuggets that I'm gonna drop for you guys tonight and I'll probably share several but

that and I get it so I always find out how somebody found you

you know that's just always a good way to express especially in this bit business it's a good way to

Hone down on what's working so clearly my YouTube is working for people to find me so aside from that I

am born and raised here and

and

Georgia which is where I wholesale out of this is the only market that I'm in

I went to school in Pittsburgh, so there might be some potential of me

branching out to the pittsburgh market as well in Pennsylvania and

graduated with a four-year degree in

rehabilitation

science

Something that I'm not using. I've never used and it's crazy because once I graduated from college I

moved back home and

I knew I wanted to take some time off between school again and my plan was to go into physical therapy and

So in my gap year

turned out to be like gap years because I ended up not going to

grad school and I found real estate

Instead and it almost is like you know everything happens for a reason and kind of fell into my lap

so a lot of people asked me how did you get started, in real estate so here's the story hi

I

think I heard an ad on the radio

For a thin Merrill was coming to Atlanta and must've been driving with my mom and we're like yeah

Let's go check it out so he went to his seminar that's literally how we got started

we didn't end up joining his course or his

training but

everything happens for a reason everywhere I went I met somebody who put me in the right direction

To the next step so I was at a thin Meryl conference for three days

didn't sign up for that but I met somebody at that conference who was part of

area here in Atlanta so he invited my mom and I outs of the RIA

and then the Russell's history from that RIA is where I found my mentor and then

Just from there is to just you know connecting dots and just networking and that's really all it's about is

networking networking networking so that is my

Introduction that's a long F introduction. I've ever heard but there it is

Yeah so like what you like a lot of people you know I know I'm in the same situation when it comes to the degree

situation where I got my associates degree in psychology

But I never actually ended up using it you know yeah I definitely know anything recommend a dance well yeah I think

Yeah psychology trust me you're using it you might not think you are but you you

How you intended?

Right

Really they pretty much you know I was I was in a for a couple years

Yeah

Absolutely

And you think you might want to go one way but trust me it's not your story - right

So it's not in your hands. I believe in God so I believe that that's, who is writing your story, so

Means, oh so then what have been like some of the things that you fix like since you became a wholesaler like some of your

Some of the challenges that. I've had that's a great question I think that even till this day

One of the biggest challenges I hate to say it's just finding that daily motivation to be a 100 percent honest because

Sometimes you can find that entrepreneurship give you so much freedom and so much flexibility that is in my opinion

A bad thing unless you put in that structure in that discipline

So for me sometimes it's harder than other days to go out and do what

I got to do no I got a drive four dollars or whatever day-to-day tasks

I have to do so I think that's one of the biggest challenges. I've had to face is just keeping on it

and staying on that grind as far as keeping motivated

Some other challenges let's see I'm honestly truly I would say fortunate

That you know as a woman a young woman?

minority I haven't faced anything dangerous at all knock on wood

You know I go look at vacant properties on myself I got meat sellers you know if my mom can't make it cuz

She's my partner she can't make it. I'll go by myself and thank. I've never had any kind of run-ins with anything crazy and

we're gonna knock on wood again for that

but

So I've lost some money that's that's a challenge you know you never want to do that lost a lot of money

doing this game the wrong way

You know

Oh my goodness guys I lost some earnest money it was and it literally I think for me contract the contract when I first started

out it varied how much owner's money I gave if at all

So initially I would either offer the seller

$10 earnest money or nothing at all because I realized if you don't mention it then then typically not gonna add if they don't know

So this seller

You know he had his wife on the phone cuz she couldn't make it to the showing she's like make sure you get

$500 out of them so you know we we were very confident in that deal like we can move it I was like, okay

$500 that's whatever I don't care

We'll get in you know though she wants that's fine at least she didn't say a thousand so we wrote up the contract got it

signed agreed on the price and everything

this is like the heart until I think

I've ever had to fight for because I

renegotiated my butt off on this deal and everything and it still fell through so because it fell through because we couldn't

sell it and find a buyer

We lost our earnest money because our contract was not tight I can't remember what it was back in the day because it doesn't matter

we tighten it up but it was

We didn't have an out for ourselves

to get our earnest money back

and despite me thinking and trying to read between the lines our attorney was like nah just let this one go because

They're gonna come after you and they'll win because it's just so babe

So again I don't remember what it said but now we just typically don't mention there's money at all so

Yeah that's that's that's usually the better strategy so yeah

You come into the situation though where like like a seller or their attorney

the seller or the attorney just they won't

well I guess yeah you had it happen like in this situation have you had that happen in other

situations where people like they just won't sign for you at all

don't get the earnest money

um

I've not had that situation and

here's why because

If somebody if a seller is so bent up or adamant on wanting me to give her and it's money I'll just be like

okay you know it's a

cutlass it's a thousand five hundred whatever it is

again I know my contract is secure to get me out of it and

to I wouldn't be going so hard if I wasn't confident in that deal so if you're pressed about earnest money I will do whatever

You know more or. Less to put you at ease so you can trust me me okay you know rest easy

So yeah I think that I haven't had that issue

Because it's either they want it or they don't and if they do then. I'm like, okay

I've learned listen first fool me once

Market I think

yeah I know the East Coast the Northeast it seems like

Yeah

I don't even know maybe five thousand it's just a commercial there's no way like it depend on who you're talking to because

you know I started out whole selling in I guess we'll get into that a little bit later but I do I'm a landlord as

Well and I do fixing flip so I'm a cash buyer as well so if I'm dealing with another whole seller and they want

mm that's you know typical but if it's a homeowner

I've never heard them come out their mouth and say anything with a comma because. I'm like

You're not getting

Well yeah yeah, yeah that's sure the realtor would be in their ear

So let me see what's next like I know I got it I got a

Yes I'm not singing see you I'm here Darius was phenomenal brother P what's going on

Good to see you back output master bank proof what's going on people it's

missing a body down here

what's going on piece of y'all in here

hello let us know

Something like that in between questions and interview the answer and all of you all's questions in between the questions that I got

You know drop some love in that comment box over there

I see blue ask me how long have I been whole selling sorry to cut you off

Um so I started in 2016 so in May it'll be three years

Pete Pete says your YouTube channel to awesome thank you thank you thank you nice

Bench telling you out

how's it going how's it going I'm from Phoenix

uncle Phoenix I see you out here

I

hear that's a hot market out in Phoenix

Yeah

In Venus

Jennifer I know you you're a newbie but you see a lot of

houses

out there how is it out there

Glad that you check check Norman's YouTube channel

I hope you got some value from it

What is the sweet spot for the business did the ARB be at least 100,000 plants or can it be

$50,000 less very question plan all right here we're gonna put the gun all right

So like personally I believe that like personally I believe that you give yourself a better chance of

like getting a decent

Break and when your property goes over a hundred thousand but it really depends on just the area and the type of buyers that you

looking for that's really a question that you should be asking your cash buyer like Maggie wants to spend

more would you like to be

What are you been going I?

Completely agree and I think you had a perfect answer because I was gonna say that's a bit of a loaded question

Because it's really we can't answer that unless we your your buyer so your buyer is gonna be the one to tell you

their price range and what they're looking for as far as ARV goes

I'm not sure if Glenn if you stated where you are but here in Atlanta a

RVs of 50 are like I mean it's doable but

You know so it just depends on those things things like like it's dated it's your marketing your buyers

Yeah

It depends you know

Let's see well show you -

Yeah I got blue it's just my name

eventually I think I'm gonna change it but if you get on now then you'll see that it's my name daraa have a suit a

and I spelt it out there for you guys

So Pete has a

That is a great question Pete so I know I said I'm going on three years

but ed and I had this conversation the other day and we kind of started around the same time and you can just see the

difference in our paths that's just really anything in life so it's really still just

my mom and I and we have a few bird dogs and a few interns who are unpaid and that's was our way of

instead of getting like

an acquisitions or somebody who we would have to put on salary or Commission we have people who are interning

and want to earn while they learn kind of things so

Not to a point where. I've scaled just yet but that is definitely to come and this is something

I like kick myself about all the time because I do more than just wholesaling

In real estate so I kind of feel myself being pulled in so many different directions that I need to scale

so that is definitely to come

You all have listed some

Yeah yes so we had I mean I think most people do the hey I'll play

$500,000 to be fine

me a house but we like kind of go in on the referral program I got over drivers out there like FedEx driver

mailman like you know these people who are kind of accountable they're in part of a system and they send its properties

As well as like I said people who want to intern and they're like hey I want you to be my mentor but I don't

Have the money they pay you so I'm just like okay bring you into the company?

You know just to see train you a little bit get you get your feet wet and then they learn as they go

You know

Because I see in Atlanta I mean do you want to drop your link to your

Microphone to sign up which I know that you're telling me that you get the one-on-one sessions I mean honestly

People will be watching this in huge Birds window oh yeah!

Some some coaching time from helping people get deals you know that don't want to bring you a lot smoothie

Yeah definitely

Yeah I'll be sure to drop the link

definitely in the chat and so that you guys hear and then those who watch in the future will definitely have that so

Not successfully so the answer's no I have gone after

HUD homes but it for one reason or another just never worked out so I have not

So can you tell us a little bit about that and you know

Yeah

Technical things that have to happen I

Don't want to make it seem like I

Keep you up to date brother I'll send you a text the dollars is the best

Properties in on these beautiful Blanc's and if you get lucky you can get some of these people maybe

Favorite favorite favorite favorite way I love them

Seriously get out there and go see the properties I love John Ford Alex because and I actually have a couple I think maybe one

video on my youtube channel about how I do kind of two-in-one when I'm driving for dollars because

I also drive for buyers so it's kind of like you looking for those vacant properties then

I get I hop out the car to and go look at these active rehab sites and get the

contractors get them you know the owners all those people's information

I was selling a few people this past week they do exactly

Yeah

I was driving $4 1/2 now

free hands if you say like

with a couple real-life cash fighters well yeah people actually

yeah they were in there doing the work themselves

It does

Yeah let's see

Ok so around the same time

One-man job that is why that's a great question yeah it is

I was gonna say peen because your one-man show I'm a two-woman show but so it's just some advice and like I said I'm

2019 taking my own advice but if I thought received from other people, who have scaled and they say that

You know I'm not sure where you are as far as the number of deals you've done and you know your average

profit per deal but save that up yes you want to reinvest your money obviously into the company but once you have the

ability the financial ability to pay someone

do it so figure out what it like the first step that you want to take yourself out of and

for most people it'll be like

marketing or

cold calling you know just the front end stuff that you know I really like to do

so that's the first person you would want to hire

but again I can't tell you who to hire first but just know whenever you are

financially capable to do that get yourself out of that position so you're not you know totally a one-man show

yes, yes that's some real really great advice

seriously that's some really really good advice I

You know you don't want to do that in this ocean yeah

My whole entire strategy

Delegating automate

it's really hard

qualitative stuff in himself absolutely by itself like it will take months if you try to do everything just by yourself honestly believe that

maybe we get a few per year

I don't know so you know it's like a lot of call in

Any business out there is doing in someone else for their time so if you have a job so paying you

Right now from your time all you have to do is save up enough money

So when you could pay somebody else for their time and you may not even have to do it like that because

You've used like my commission based strategy you can get some people to come on each 30 days

to take a check excuse and put in the work for you like Darwin says no get you the intern

I'm putting in some work for the team they can earn

most

it's many different good it's a good

It's a good strategy feet let's just put it like that it's much needed yeah who's gonna axe he says Dora in ATL

do buyers look for ard times seventy percent or 75 percent

since it's a hot market now oh that is a great question

So most of my buyers when I got started in 2016 it was 70 percent that was good and then

some people are definitely willing to pay that seventy five percent, so

Yeah so that's a great question so a lot of people are so just being

safe and sticking with the 70 I even have some like great cash buyers like

you know get on the right deal for the right number they'll buy pulled the trigger and they're at 65%

So yes, I did the hot market but those are the people

who

make me working a little bit harder to find those golden gym nugget deals and because I know that they're gonna pull the trigger

but um yeah 70 75 percent is definitely where it's at you Elena

Okay, okay they're that hot market seriously good old Atlanta though

okay

so pizza as the you need for

So last year you do for deals so yeah yeah, I just said that it's like you'll probably do about

in the yeah I mean depending on the spread that could be good but you know that's true that's true

for a lot of people right those four deals could be more than most college graduates salaries, huh yeah

He says which leads slash listings go after are

Sorry which leads slash list do you go after I

Like probate leads and

I like tired landlord lead so uh eviction leads

So I go to the county court see see in the beginning I went to the county courthouse and sifted through this on myself?

now that's something that is something I delegated

out so I have someone who finds me those leads probate as well as eviction leads and

also

vacant owners so driving for dollars will typically be like absentee owners for the most part and

Like we discussed ed and I said earlier that's the but I love diving for dollars so those are the leads that I go after

Nice okay and

Yes for you I guess most of the licensee before ya know for Atlanta

All right he's like she's in Atlanta I get these questions

Like a few of these questions I wanted to ask you

Whatever so so uh doctor why don't you tell me

Like one of your there's been some of you are like successes that you had you know like what was like oh!

My favorite deal um

I'll give I'll give two and

Two so yeah

So one my very first favor deal it does just came to mind with a joint-venture

and I keep plugging this but it's also on my youtube I have a couple videos about how I think jayvees are the Blake

Talk about delegating letting go partner with another wholesaler and split it 50/50 so there the time where I had a

Wholesaler friend so I had a deal of my own under contract

and I was like struggling with my buyer to negotiate the right price because the seller was pretty firm

So the numbers were I was I think putting it out at

fifty fifty thousand was the price that I was putting it out and my buyer was like no

I want to be at 47 so where I'm trying to negotiate whatever so

you know as God would have it a

wholesaler friend of mine called me and like hey I got this deal in this exact same area he didn't know about my deal

hey

I got this deal I'm putting it out for 47 keep it at that price and you already got two thousand it built in

right and this is literally when I just started I had probably maybe done my own deal

already like one deal and so he calls me and says that and

exact same area that my buyer was fighting for he was like I wanted at 47

hung up the phone and two seconds I call my buyer I got you a deal

47 this one we still gonna work on it but I got you in 47 he ended up buying both of them

So he and I buying both of them yeah and the one for 47 the reason I say this the sweetest deal is because I

literally did not

sweat I didn't break a nail I didn't pick I didn't do anything I never met

I've never met the homeowner I never saw that house to this day I haven't seen the house so a lot of my joint venture

deals are like that I'm never all ideas pick up the phone and call a buyer because I

matchmaking as wholesalers or matchmakers so

that I think the sweetest deals because it's like that's the easiest two thousand dollars

I've ever made it was like my buyer was quick and he closed in like seven days and it was awesome

thanks we had a party at the attorney's office that the clothing on

Yeah yeah

I mean I didn't even argue he said mm I said great I'm not even I don't have to do anything for this mm

So I'll take it right

Definitely Davian in in the video because a lot of people

Ask you about oh, I don't want to get burned because. I've gotten burning JV deals there's ways

you know

when I say joint venture for the most part

I've done joint ventures where I had the contract with the seller

And I had another wholesaler bring me a buyer but for the most part I'm the one bringing the buyer

you know and there's reasons for that too, so

My second paper deal is one that it was not a wholesale deal it's actually a creative financing deal that I still own

today and I still control it and it was subject to and it was like literally

My first creative financing deal I had. No idea what I was like

blabbing to the seller but he bought it you know because

it worked out because he was just so desperate he was a he was a tired landlord lead and

You know I caught him why he was renovating he was in the middle of fixing up his property that his tenants like tore up

So long story short I was like hey the numbers didn't work out I was gonna offer him like a regular

wholesale cash offer

but it just wouldn't work out because he was upside down

so

at least I knew I'm just thankful that I lead I knew who's a lot of people

kind of jump right in I took a lot of time learning

different pockets and she's everything I could about real estate wholesaling

investing in general

So in my mentor actually introduced me to create a financing so I'm very thankful that at that time

Cuz I was still so new at that time at least knew that that was an option

So in the reason I say that is because I was still fumbling to explain what it was like I'm gonna take over your mortgage

but you keep it in your name and yeah we'll go from there

So I mean till this day and it was the greatest

greatest deal and I literally share I love for this deal and what am I you do video

So definitely go check that out

So

that one we have now as our other rental

So that think that's a great strategy for those out there do like get it subject to or at least purchase and then turn around

and rent it and then yeah, no money down and not in my case it with no money down and that's why I love it

Coming across people

like like faulty JD partners or like people who wanna kind of JD deals with you

like what do you typically do when you come across a person that's like

This deal for me in doing well they come with it's like a asking picture

Yeah I'm such a nice person and I need to like grow a stronger

backbone or something because people do that all the time

they just text me an address in a price and

Then I go through the trouble of like finding out the details because I never want to send just an address and my buyers like

I want to do a lot I want to set you up for success

I want to do a lot of the homework for you cuz I know my buyers are already gonna look up their own

comps and things like that but I at least want to make it make sense

You know explain to you why made sense to me you know if that make sense so

I give them address I give them the pictures I give them the scope I given what's going on like what's happening in their neighborhood

You know things like that so if somebody just sends me an address

am, I okay I gotta go through the trouble with your analysis information if I don't already know and

So at the same token that I do love Davies I also never put more energy in a JV deal than my own because

because

One there's very little control with a JV deal and

two if I'm the one finding you a buyer that

whole seller can find you know they can

As ten hundred other wholesalers and somebody can be quicker than me so I don't want to put so much time and energy into their

deals that can just be taking you know it's not you know does that make sense

so

Say it to your question yeah, yeah and you know it doesn't work out so to answer your question um. I do

I

just never it

depends on how I'm feeling actually cuz if

somebody's price is

Ridiculous and they're wanting me to put it out I just ignore it or you know I just be like I'm not gonna shock that

deal for them you know

But I have some very

I've been grateful like I know some people who are like solid and so they give me the whole entire package

Hey this is the property package you know and I just

poured that over because you know they didn't have to make me do any work for

To help them out is that amazing so I've had. I've had both

Say that again

Yeah exactly

It's just copy and paste and just forward yeah

Exactly and and it's crazy because now that I'm actually talking about it and thinking about it I feel like

like I said I'm just way too nice but I feel like those are the people who I should

hone in on more than those people who just give me an address because

you're wasting my time because now you know I had to put in the extra work to figure out what's what with this deal and

And I don't like because when you give me an address that means

I have ten hundred other questions to follow like all right so what's this what's that and I don't want to have to do all

that you know so

You're not serious I

Just can't

Marry to to be with Gina for deals

If I'm doing all that yeah

Yeah because I'm not funny on with it

Yeah that's very true not a very

Come back when you go ask them if they have those things do you have pictures if you?

Look let me I'm taking those because come back to me when you get that because

That's true that's true and you're right and if I do it for you I'm getting more than 50% period

That's part of the reason why I was asking no question yeah

Yeah you all know them but control everything these options you know right it's the first week do

So yeah

When you calculate the cost of Paris, oh!

that's a good question glues the leg would like personally

Probably

like

you might go just out of repair I come out there depending on look it looks like

fire damage and things that

Have like fire restoration come come out things like that

Or like sometimes I'm use a calculation as we know there's like about times the square footage by

just range but like it's like I'm looking rehab or on yeah word that he's

multiply up just by like five it's like the light green a pop I like then 20 and it's like you know having to

then we're doing 30 to 40 maybe slow ferry

Yeah like me personally I'm kind of I'm a little bit haphazard but I personally prefer

To

calculate your repair costs I

typically get a contractor to come out with me and that saves me every kind of calculation you could think of

and or I do what you say as far as a formula so if it's a small

rehab or light you know heavy rehab full complete gut I do that times the

square footage of the property

Rinse and repeat you just copy with their

Glazed ended up just do

The rest of these I know I

Have not uh, so just like yeah, I don't Thank You Andre but I don't need that service but there's somebody out there who might

It was actually using transactional funding on until he was working on he came once the batch to mine and

just by the way anybody that was in that was watching the mastermind and dejan came on

you spot on the YouTube challenge just to know the deal he was working on day he told you all

Crazy one you get that close just where you all know?

hey slim

Let's see how do you determine and talks to when the house is in area that is being developed

Man it's a pretty question honestly I mean so

like personally

it depends it gets really tricky yeah

Personally what I do is like I like to look at like the as is

right now just case whoever I'm property to isn't gonna tear it place down that's a

Small percentage of people who's actually got a ticket yeah so like first all I'm looking at as is time I'm trying to see

After that I assume the square footage of the property and then I will help me determine

What of development I should be looking into for my after

Development

I'm saying like if the property has like

4,000 square feet I can see where you know maybe the developer can come in and feel like a

2750

Property and making huge it then I'll go look for you know up

2,700 you know where the prawns new development in that area that has

that's kind of its gets its really really

Complicated like the best bet on that is probably just reading off the realtor honestly the anchor it's what they believe

Yeah I think that if if the area is developing

You just might want to spend the money to get an appraiser

So I have an appraiser come out and give you the value the after repair value and

Because like you said it'll be tricky because you're you'll be doing you know back flips and trick to find out what it is yourself

but

So I definitely do get the adds value and

I haven't done it but what I just thought of you could do its with those as is

comps because even though it's being developed I would almost bet

that there is still

cash transactions happening so you can look that up as well so if you find somebody some as is sold comps and

their investors who purchased it

maybe go the extra mile to reach out to them and if they decide that they want to

renovate it and flip it you can ask them what they might price it for and

Maybe that'll just give you an idea of what they're projecting that area would go for now that's not to say that they'll get it

that's not to say you know any of that but it could help but I would just say get an appraiser

That's another nugget

It's all about people this is money that's the only way to make money in this business beginning about people real relationships

That's the great

Let me see

where are you guys located

What do you want to know about a hole selling what do you already know about hole selling what can you teach me

what can I teach you

Mayday Mayday Mayday I

Really don't know where he's at or if he's able to come back on but what books have you read to inspire you

Um Polk County what's up I don't know where that's at what city is that

All right so some books oh my goodness guys the very I think the very first

book that I read

pertaining to real estate and just really good in your mind right and everything is called the 10x rule by Grant Cardone I

have it like right here actually the 10x rule by Grant Cardone Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

I've got cash flow quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki as well I have the game and

here's another nugget if you don't have that game cashflow quadrant by

Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad Poor Dad brand

you're missing out it's almost Christmas so you should get yourself that gift that game it's like better than monopoly it's better than

2k or whatever other games people play but it's a great game and it's like it was life-changing but so some more books

what else what else what else um

the one thing by Gary Keller

There's just so many there's just so many, oh

yeah those are the other great starts I have a lot of books from bigger pockets

One that literally I think it's like the landlord guide or how to be a landlord and I follow it word for word

with my tenants and my wrinkles because it just helped

so there's a couple of books that I have from bigger pockets and

I

Think that edits back I'm not sure

What was it game again

The game is cashflow quadrant

Game

Cash no? I'm lying it's just called cashflow the book is cashflow quadrant the game is called

cashflow EDA I don't see or hear you

Guzmán how many deals I'm doing per month again you know it's me my mom's so as far as our own wholesale deals it's about

two a month

But that's not including the joint ventures that we do there's also not

Including the property that we just acquire on our own to either sit on like buy and hold or

Whatever we decide to do with that

currently

supposed to close on a land it I think this is my first time purchasing land

So yeah closing on that sometime soon there's like title issues that's holding that up and

Do we also do some hotel deals which is really cool I think that's what we'll do with the land and

Then what about the average deal size I'm not sure what you mean do you mean like the profit

the average profit

or gain I might taking over this thing with us PS

How does lease option work I know you take over the property by paying the mortgage but how do you pay the mortgage is it

your own money

or are you everything other than it was money alright so

Pete with the lease option you're not taking over

somebody's mortgage that's

subject to so when you take over somebody's mortgage that's subject to

So I guess that's two different avenues. I'm about to take you down so when you take over somebody's mortgage

there are steps to

Doing before you even go under contract I think yeah before you get under contract with the homeowner

you need to get a third party

authorization from the person who's

named the mortgage thing

So that way they're authorizing you to speak directly to the mortgage lender that way you can find out pay off

All this kind of information that you need to know because yes you can say hey mr

seller was your mortgage pay off they can tell you any number but you just want to make sure

you know that

for a fact now

So got the third party authorization we pay the mortgage directly to the lender to the mortgage company

And that's what I would recommend I would not recommend that you give the money to the to the

Seller and have them pay the mortgage just don't so again once you're in there you're in there so once you have that third-party

authorization you're you're free to discuss you know pretty much anything with the

with the mortgage company so you pay directly to them and

Yeah what else did you say how do you is it your own money or other people's money so that kind of depends on you

technically

the mortgage that we're paying on this subject to deal is

Other people's money because we're renting out the property so if the mortgage is here RINs here so from rent we paid the mortgage

but when the when the property was vacant and it was vacant for some months it was coming out of our pocket and

then lease option

Completely different lease option you're leasing so you are a renter you're leasing so you're not paying a mortgage you're paying rent

to the

Person you're at least optioning from and you're leasing with the option to purchase so you can either

you know have a lease for a year ten years whatever and

at the end of that lease term you have the option to purchase at a certain price and

Yeah so those are two different avenues

Let's see let's see and I can I haven't seen you since you got back or heard you

those men asked for a hotel are you closing on it before putting on the MLS or

Just when you have the contract or are you partnering with the realtor to list on the MLS so the hotel

I got a video about that

Am, I YouTube you have to close on it

So yes you have to close on it before you put on the MLS because

Unlike with host selling with wholesaling you are not selling a property or selling a contract you're signing a contract?

So if you put on the MLS it has to be your property you have to own it

this is from my own experience I don't know

if I'm wrong

someone correct me but from my own experience you have to close on it because you have to own it in order to put it

On the MLS or sell because now you're selling a property not a contract and I don't partner with any real serious I just

find ones who list it and as per property is not like a contract or anything

Actually I use a flat fee listing service though it's not so it's a little bit less than having to pay

six percent commission

any more questions I have no idea where ed went I

Don't think can you see me can you see me

Yeah so I just put the link to my youtube channel hey guys so if you made it to the end of this video I
