All good. What up?
Speaker A
I'm Juan.
Speaker B
Sterling.
Speaker A
Nice to meet you. How much do you pay for rent here?
Speaker B
Uhh, why?
Speaker A
I'm an investor in real estate and I'm looking at this area.
Speaker B
I pay $1300.
Speaker A
$1300? For a two-one?
Speaker B
What?
Speaker A
I said two-one.
Speaker B
Oh, two-one, yeah.
Speaker A
Would you mind if I paid your rent?
Speaker B
For my house?
Speaker A
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker B
Nah, nah, nah, I work for myself, bro.
Speaker A
No, no, no, but if you want to, you can give it to somebody else.
Speaker B
Are you serious right now?
Speaker A
100%.
Speaker B
What's the catch?
Speaker A
No catch. You'll never see me again. I'm not an investor.
Speaker A
I just go around and give out money.
Speaker B
Stop. I'm trying to get my gardening shit together.
Speaker A
That's the catch. Most people, they don't even open the door. They're like, 'Get off my property.' I understand it's weird.
Speaker B
Nah, nah, nah, I wouldn't do that. These people that live next door to me, they actually work for me.
Speaker A
Oh, really?
Speaker B
Yeah, they're Cuban refugees. They just came here.
Speaker A
That's cool.
Speaker B
And I helped get them housing. You know how hard that can be.
Speaker A
That's awesome. Good for you.
Speaker B
Bro, you serious?
Speaker A
Yeah.
Speaker A
No, but if it's not for you, then give it to somebody else. Give it to somebody who needs it.
Speaker A
Take it for their rent or for yourself.
Speaker A
Or for your own house, it'll help you out. You're already helping people.
Speaker B
What is your name so I can pay it forward to you like...
Speaker A
My name is Juan. No, not for me, for yourself.
Speaker B
I respect it. You ain't just rob a bank, did you?
Speaker A
No.
Speaker B
Alright, brother. You're a good dude, bro.
Speaker A
You too. I just work for myself. I do a chicken coop.
Speaker B
Bruh, this is... that's powerful.
Speaker A
Are they like right outside your door?
Speaker B
Yeah, right there. I'm trying to get my gardening shit together.
Speaker A
Man, but that's serious. My mom's a gardener.
Speaker B
These are bell peppers right here.
Speaker A
Cool. How many?
Speaker B
Yeah, I had six, only got one now.
Speaker A
I see.
Speaker B
She's not in here. She's trying to stay cool somewhere.
Speaker A
And that's a healthy thing to do, working for yourself.
Speaker B
Yup.
Speaker A
Alright, Sterling. My respect.
Speaker B
Man, you're a good dude, bro.
Speaker A
You too. I told you.
Speaker B
Hard worker. Do what you want with the money.
