Nick forgot to mention the reason bringing up the coffee shop story: In 2006, while working as a minimum wage Barista, two twentysomthings were trying to pitch him a no down payment mortgage. That’s when he realized there was something really wrong with the mortgage and housing market.

Did any of you get a good time for when Nick finished his story? Probably longer than 90 seconds.
