Don Peebles on Billion Dollar Real Estate Lessons & NYC's First Black Owned Skyscraper

We sat down with Donahue Peebles who is the largest black real estate developer in American history. He's also estimated to be a billionaire, and a business genius.
He spoke about his plans to build Affirmation Tower, which will be the only black owned and black developed skyscraper in New York City. He also spoke about the current state of real estate, private equity, venture capital, and real estate development. #donpeebles #realestate #earnyourleisure

I couldn’t wait to see this interview 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@gowonjake]

I sold a couple properties in 2020 and I'm waiting for a house crash to happen so I buy cheap. In the meanwhile, I've been looking at stocks as an alt., any idea if it's a good time to buy? I hear people say it's a madhouse and a dead cat bounce right now but on the other hand, I still see and read articles of people pulling over $225k by the weeks in trades, how come?

[@michaelnoah3503]

it depends on your exit and entry strategy, most folks are used to a bull market and can't handle a crash, but if you know how to navigate and where to look, you'll make a killing.

[@patriciacarlos]

@@michaelnoah3503 True, the US-Stock Mrkt had been on it’s longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is relatable, considering we’re not accustomed to such troubled mrkts, but as you mentioned there are avenues lurking around if you know where to look, I’ve netted over $850k in the past 10months and it wasn't some rocket-science strat. I applied , I just knew I needed a firm and reliable technique to navigate better in these times, so I hired a portfoilo advisor.

[@patriciacarlos]

@angelinarock DOMINIC PATRICK RUBY is actually the one that guides me, she’s a highly-sought out adviser, so I’m not certain she’s accepting new intakes, but you can give it a shot. It wouldn’t be proper to just leave her number lying around, but she has a webpage you can look at if you google her name..

[@sleepnabox]

[@AbduhakimAliMohamed]

As a market trader, my advice for anyone looking to time their stock purchases is this: the best time to buy stocks is often between October and December. During this period, we witness the annual ritual of end-of-the-year tax selling. Brokers, needing spending money, often call investors to sell stocks for tax loss purposes, causing severe drops in stock prices. Additionally, institutional investors sell off losing stocks to clean up their portfolios for year-end evaluations. This compounded selling drives down stock prices, particularly for lower-priced issues, creating excellent opportunities for bargains.

[@Vivianlaure4]

My life changed too when I started doing this and putting money in stocks. The first few years it as really great, but this year I haven't felt like my portfolio is doing well. I have lost more than $40,000 from my portfolio the past four months, and it's now very worrisome.

[@Willi-w1q]

The year has been really rough for everybody. But I've been able to cushion the effect though. Have you thought of using an investment advisor? They can make you good money especially during uncertain times like this.

[@Deboramichael1]

Yes, I agree. I use a financial advisor too. Same person since 2020. I don't worry about whether the economy is going up or down or sideways. I always ride through.

[@elviegoodness]

Oh, really? I have never thought of that as an option. Can I ask who it is you've been working with? I bet I could use some help myself.

[@Deboramichael1]

NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.

[@lilc.s.248]

POWERFUL! So many 💎’s. But one I caught that people may let slip pass is when he said you can’t motivate kids who didn’t grow up economically challenged with money. They need purpose. As more and more of us achieve success our kids are not growing up economically challenged so the key is to give them a purpose and motivate them with that. So many rich kids and suburban kids grow up with no drive. We want them to be go getters but it’s not in them. He gave the answer. You have to give them purpose.

[@igalexshinre4418]

As a Korean American real estate professional who comes from a family of poverty and no real estate ownership in my family, I am so grateful to have stumbled upon this interview after listening to Brandon Rule speak so highly of Don Peebles. So much knowledge that’s applicable in this interview. If I can share, my goal is to establish my personal real estate portfolio through Multifamily investing to then provide the blueprint to others who also come from nothing but have the burning desire to build a life full of purpose. I believe the most of us have the innate calling to help and provide for others but aren’t able to because of our own lack in resources, especially the financial. The rat race keeps us worrying about a lot of issues that can be alleviated by leveraging capital. There’s no voice in the Asian community that speaks with such economical and social prowess to the magnitude Don Peebles speaks with. I love how his business ventures are rooted in fundamental economics but with a social component to provide opportunity to the disadvantaged. Many people in the Asian community are business savvy but only care about their and their family’s personal gain. I aim to change that but until then Don Peebles, you are my North Star sir. If there’s any way I can be a part of this movement, I’m down. And if there’s any others out there who are also looking to be the one who changes course of poverty for their friends, family’s, and community’s, I’d love to connect with you as well. Long live the PEEBZ. Greetings and salutations from TEXAS.
