Back in 2004, <a href="https://www.thebrooklynbank.org/our-team" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jude Bernard</a> was sitting at a blackjack table in Vegas. This wasn’t his first game of the day, nor his second, or even his third. Jude had been sitting at that blackjack table for thirty hours straight. When the final game ended, he walked away, $150,000 poorer than he started. Jude then found the closest tattoo parlor, walked in, and got the phrase “never again” tattooed on his hand as a testament to his mistake.Now, Jude runs a rental and flipping empire, settling for no less than <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/biggerpockets-podcast-390-leka-devatha" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">seven-figure profits</a> on his fix and flips. He also runs <a href="https://www.thebrooklynbank.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Brooklyn Bank</a>, a non-profit designed to help economically <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/gender-racial-wealth-gaps-how-to-do-something-about-it" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">empower people of color</a> in New York City. Through his earlier gambling mistakes, Jude realized that no matter what, the “house” always wins. So, he searched for a way that he could become the “house” in his environment, and the best way was through real estate investing.Jude has built a very strong foundation for his real estate investing through taking calculated risks, <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/ultimate-guide-building-maintaining-powerful-real-estate-network" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">nurturing his relationships</a>, and letting his fears fuel his fire.Jude is currently raising money to help the people of Haiti through their most recent natural disaster. Brandon and David have both pledged $5,000 each. To help out, even more, Brandon wants all listeners to know that If you donate $5,000 to The Brooklyn Bank organization, Brandon will host you in Maui!
