(38:30) Tucker’s best piece of real estate investing advice for any investor in any space. (40:10) Quotes: Real estate was the great wide open, it was a place where average dudes and gals can go and make a lot of money. I need to be in control of my lead flow, my deal flow and ultimately my financial destiny. Direct mail has been the biggest driver of our deal flow since about 2010. There are a lot of people that throw out the 4 hour work week mentality for Real Estate and yeah you can get there someday, but someday is not in the beginning of that track. Ultimately this is a people business. Houses are just the product but main thing behind everything is the people. Be consistent. I know people that aren’t that smart and they aren’t the best, but they win. They win because they are consistent.
