nt property usually requires 25% or more. So if you're a brand new real estate investor with limited cash, there's a big incentive to call something a second home instead of an investment property. But that's why lenders make you sign a second home rider, a separate document where you specifically promise you'll use it as a second residence and not rent it out.

I mean, right? And nobody's even been close. This is unbelievable success in getting people back. Now Melania is doing it. So she's got her—she says now she has an open channel of communication with Putin.

o here's what I like about Putin's persuasion game. Don't misquote me. I didn't say I like Putin. I'm just saying that he's got a really strong persuasion game and the fact that he's playing so nice with Melania. It's just more of that it is so smart that he's extra nice to Melania and that there's just no friction whatsoever is created in that domain and it looks like he you know it looks like he…
