Bruce and Aaron Norris Discuss Their Newsletter and Upcoming Event on the Real Estate Radio Show #523

Bruce and Aaron Norris held a live webinar this week discussing their latest newsletter and upcoming event 2% Interest, $40 Trillion in Debt, and Other Surprise Endings. In the show they also discuss how the Norris Group is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. Bruce started the company when he was 44, and when you think about this he hasn’t owned it as long as it seems. In between then he had to grow a lot, and it was a really fun journey. When you buy properties you can do it alone. A lot of their clients actually do this. You basically work at home or in a small office. You have a company with all these facets to it, and for Bruce this was really outside of the scope for him for the first 15 years.

Bruce and Aaron discuss his latest newsletter and timing report, his upcoming event 2% Interest, $40 Trillion in Debt, and Other Surprise Endings, China's economy, debt, and healthcare system, the Euro zone deflation, oil disruption, tax law changes, and much more on this week's Norris Group real estate radio show and podcast.
