The only thing I could point out is please be extremely cautious of who you're partnering up with. It's something I rarely recommend because of all the complications that usually occur once things start rolling.
And if you really decide to partner up with someone, make sure that the papers, agreements and contracts are extremely clear to all parties to avoid any kind of misunderstandings.

Pretty sure you can see this on Zillow? Not sure if we're on the same page.

@Cameron Marlon Susman I agree with you about being aggressive, but that's also one of the things I really like about the book. Some of the things he says can be very offputting, but then after thinking a little further it's the discomfort that ends up opening my eyes.
I think one of the main concepts that applies throughout the book is summed up in one quote towards the end: "Comfort doesn't pay the bills". He consistently emphasizes the importance of stretching yourself and growing, despite being uncomfortable.
Another one was "If you're short on creativity, it's only because you aren't committed enough." This resonated hard with me...I'm a very analytical person and typically wouldn't describe myself as very creative at all. But when I read that and started thinking about it a little more, I started realizing how I've started thinking creatively about real estate out of necessity in putting together deals. When you don't give yourself a choice, once you commit fully to your goals, your creativity can be endless
Love it! Awesome stuff! Thanks man, I appreciate it. I'll pick up the book once I get through these current ones and I'll let you know what I think about it.

@Chris Marshall, are you looking for a book more on the time management & strategy side or rather on the side of hiring and managing amazing talent?

Meditations would be a book I'd recommend to everyone I know because I'm a huge fan of the Stoic philosophy - it's not a book about real estate investing though just to point that out - I got the Gregory Hays version and really enjoyed reading it. His translation is brilliant.
"How to Win Friends and Influence People" is of amazing value too - this one will literally set you up for success in life.
I'd start out with those two.
Hope this helps? @Gina Stern
