This week he shows you the other game. A single family house gets valued by your neighbor's kitchen. A commercial building gets valued by the income it produces, and you control that income. Brett walks through the two formulas that run the whole thing, how a $15,000 swing in operating income can add $300,000 in value, and how to move your equity out of houses and into commercial without handing the IRS a check on the way.
