In an appearance at the 10X Growth Conference in 2021, Alex Rodriguez opened up on his experience with real estate. He spoke with Grant Cardone on several topics related to real estate. The Yankee legend spoke at length about his experience and profits in the business but also mentioned shortcomings. Rodriguez particularly mentioned his two biggest regrets in real estate – that he couldn’t buy more and that he sold. 

While talking to Cardone, A-Rod said, “I have two regrets in real estate. I didn’t buy enough, and I sold.” But the retired Yankee superstar also said that sometimes you have to sell, and it’s unavoidable. He added, “But it’s okay, you have to sell sometimes. You gotta get a double, not everything’s going to be a home run. There’s no need to be greedy. Take a single, take it off the table.”
