💥 QUOTES 💥 

💥 “Anybody can go buy a real estate deal and screw it up pretty quickly. It's the people in the organization, the culture, the leadership, and down the chart that really makes the difference.”  - Ivan Barratt 

💥 “What I've noticed about these larger investors that have had a long-standing track record of consistent returns is patience and discipline.” - Ivan Barratt 

💥 “We're not a small business. We're not a little business. We are a big company that just today happens to be small.” - Ivan Barratt 

💥 “A lot of times I think we perhaps think too small when we think about our impact, as it must be directly correlated to our own continuous efforts. This approach is not sustainable. We've got to consider all the alternatives.” - Tyler Chesser 

💥 “I just continually find how important self-awareness is not only in just living a life of fulfillment, but also if you want to achieve greater levels of success.” - Tyler Chesser 

💥 “Your brain and your mind are one of the most powerful tools, if not the most powerful tool that you have. So, you've got to continue to invest in that.” - Tyler Chesser
